Skylight

Well, haven’t really had time to catch up of sleep. Ten-years ago, I would have easily recovered from a month of 16-hour work days in 48 hours. Now it’s much tougher. I guess there’s a lot more responsibility on my shoulders now, from the burden at work (they don’t pay you to do nothing) and of course, my responsibility to my lovely wife but also not neglecting church ministries and family and friends too. Right now, our humble lil’ home is a construction zone and managing that as an extra responsibility doesn’t help. I really can’t wait to move out of our box in the sky to my new old home and have a pair of tail-wagging furry friends greet me when I pull into the driveway.

Edit: sorry, draft status prevented this from showing…

To welcome the year of the rat!
The Rat (Chinese:鼠) was welcomed in ancient times as a protector and bringer of material prosperity. It is the first of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. Rat is associated with aggression, wealth, charm, and order, yet also associated with death, war, the occult, pestilence, and atrocities. The Year of the Rat is associated with the earthly branch symbol 子.

In Chinese, the word 鼠 may refer to either the rat or the mouse. Therefore, in this context, Year of the Mouse and Year of the Rat are interchangeable terms.

Drill, Midvalley, Jaya DIY and then some

Wake up early, drive down to Midvalley, pick up some stuff from ACE hardware, then back to Casa Damansara II (Jeff’s place), make holes in the wall to mount IKEA curtain rails, then off to Section 14 to visit Eddie at Jaya DIY center and then he shows up some new fangled overdrived luxeon LED flashlight that costs a whopping RM289! Lunch at McDonalds, back to Casa and more drilling and the bloody wall must be made of adamantium for the drill not to penetrate!
