Happy Chinese New Year

Friday, January 27th, 2006

Its the eve of Chinese New Year and I am sitting in my office, counting down the hour to clock-out for the year.  Tomorrow is a new year for the Chinese Community and its the year of the dog.  Many people say this new year will bring good fortune and I for one believe it.  A few days ago, I got a call from Sony Malaysia and they told me I won the Top Prize for the "Wish for a Sony" contest. I was really shocked as I only joined the contest for fun (of coz I do wish I could win something, else why bother right?).  I won a 15" BRAVIA LCD Flat Panel TV worth US$770… and now I am anxiously waiting for the prize to come.  Hehehe… don’t think I can get it before the CNY anymore since today is the eve of CNY.

DogAnyway… here’s wishing everyone a very Happy Chinese New Year!  May this year of the dog bring you good health, happiness, and prosperity all year long!  "Gong Xi Fa Chai!!!"

Our New KIA!

No… not the car… its Kuching International Airport. Hehehe…  Well… anyway, a few friends and I went to KIA last night and to our amazement, it looks pretty kewl! The departure area (the 3rd floor) looks very… how should I put it… modern?   It is not how I imagined it to be (i meant it in a good way).  It reminds me so much of KLIA… the way we check in for our flights. 

Although the airport is not fully completed yet, I can already imagine how it would look like next time.  Hmmmm… not knowing what to say anymore… I just leave you with the photos below.  Maybe it can tell you something, like what they say, "a picture paints a thousand words".
