Merry X'mas everyone! well, although its somewhat belated already.. hope u guys had a great x'mas. i'm sure u guys have been wondering whats up with communication blackout over the past few weeks. all i can say is, need u ask? i mean this isnt the 1st time its happened: my modem konked out again. take my advice: if u should be in the market to get an ADSL modem, dont ever get D-Link. screwed me up twice already, good thing its still under warranty.

so anyway.. lemme fill u in on wats been happening in my life lately. well, for starters i've finally tried the dim sum in mandarin oriental. i alil pricey, but its good. well, when i was actually eating it i didnt think it was anything special and all.. sure its fresh and the 'ha gau' (prawn dumpling) skin doesnt break when u try to separate them, but i thought that should u what to expect since i'm paying like 8 bucks for it. it was only when i had dim sum again in spring valley, midvalley (which is owned by the tai thong group - one of the more famous chinese restaurants offering dim sum), when i realised how good M.O.'s dim sum was compared to spring valley's. i mean MO's didnt have the 'porky' smell (haha..) and it was waaayy fresher. so if u're in kl and crave dim sum, save urself the grief and head on over to MO for the best around. but then again there's Oriental in ss14 PJ, but thats another story altogether..

oh, i also won a consolation prize for some SMS competition. haha, i know u must be going like what?! sms competition?!?!! before u say anything, hear me out. well, i'm on a 238 bucks a month plan on maxis, and i almost never use above a 150 bucks (i get to make 238 worth of calls and i'm exempted from the 60 bucks monthly subscription), no matter how to cincai call here call there i still cant break $150. so when i came across this sms competition, i jus play for the fun of it la.. cos i seem to be losing an average of 100 bucks a month to maxis. i think i spent like 80 bucks jus on that competition and then i got bored of it. so i just left it at that.. a few weeks later (yesterday) i got a call from the competition ppl, i won a consolation prize! wow.. kewlness yo. what i got was one 2005 f1 hillstand ticket (i think it should be worth like 150 bucks) and also a thumb drive. i think the total prize value should be about 250 bucks. not bad for a 80 bucks investment. needless the say, i'm gonna continue playing this stupid sms thing, hoping to get another few more tix so at least i can get others to go with me. okay, before u guys comment on my extravagant mobile plan, i've already changed it to the 138 a month plan, so leave me alone!

oh yah, in case i dont get to chat with u guys soon.. happy new year guys! all the best for the upcoming year.

p/s: modem still konked - havent had the time to get it changed (m using dialup now), so try not to miss me yah? =P
