Happy New Year to myself....my first year in my 30s and now the customary resolution list, which i failed to follow through for the past few years..
Resolution (noun): A firm decision to do something or not to do something
1) Exercise at least 3 times per week -> to keep my weight below 60kg, preferably below 55kg
2) Finish at least one novel per month
3) Eat breakfast daily
4) To use my DSLR at least once a week
5) To watch one dvd which i bought and have not watched per month.
This list will only take effect from 5 Jan 09 (Mon), a brand new week in the new year. My reward if I did follow through the above list, I will buy a LCD TV!! Good luck to myself!!!

Favourite sites part 1
Finally, they updated their site. Serial cuts is a creative design studio based in Spain. Do check out their fantastic works at the website.
If you are free, or even if you are NOT free, do find time to check out the top 25 design and architecture blogs here. And, if you are truly bored with work, you can do random browsing at Alltop, which termed itself as an online magazine rack of popular topics in the internet.

Ramblings for the week
This week, i purchased a 2nd hand D70. I am still trying to grasp the various functions of the camera. I fell sick on Monday and went to see a doctor on a Saturday. As usual, the polyclinic was filled with people on a Saturday morning. I managed to have some catch up time with friends on Friday night and Sunday. Luckily, the coming week will be a good respite from work, i hope.
I chanced upon the following meaningful poem when i was watching the movie "Akeelah and the Bee" on cable. I enjoyed the movie very much. It is about the journey of a black girl from a poor neighborhood who tried to make it to the national spelling bee compeition. Her coach told her to recite this poem, which was hung on the wall of his home.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,
our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

Memoirs of Hijiyama
A very nice and thought provoking graphic presentation done by Jonathan Yuen on the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. The atomic bomb which ended the World War II but at a huge cost. A timely reminder to us that nuclear bomb should be avoided no matter what.

Rainy Sunday
Urgghh..Just when i want to go out, it is raining cats and dogs.
Thought the poster (on the left) is quite funny. If only our train or bus stations have such funny lighthearted posters. what have i been doing the whole morning. Besides reading the newspapers, i managed to find a code to hide the irritating navigation bar that one always find on a blogspot page. I also tried to find a new template but i gave up. simpla is beauty.
