Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year . I wanted to wish everyone Happy New Year again and the fact the Chinese calendar follows the moon instead of the sun allows me to do that. 2006 is year of the dog. Gong Xi Fat Choi! No thats not the name of a green vegetable you'd expect to see in your local chinese takeaway stir fry. Its how you say happy new year in chinese. Yeah see, I am in touch with my Asian roots. I have spiky hair and like Yum Cha. ;) If you don't know what Yum Cha is, then shame on you. You are missing out.

Back to work

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Today was also the first day back to work for 2006. Surprisingly, I started off the fresh day with eager enthusiasm, but as the minutes clicked over, the novelty of cubicle office living, soon wore as thin as an American Pie film plot. The mystical database administrators had to do some load testing which meant that code monkey developers such as myself had to stop being code monkeys for a while. The next logical step was to go home. Which I did.

So here I am, recalling that they have this thing called blogging for the Internet now. It is amazing. Back in my day, we had to walk ten thousand shoe destroying miles through blood, sweat and bones, jagged rocks and mind numbing boredom before we could reach a blog site.

Oh I think I better go have dinner. Happy New Year + 2.

A Lot Like Love

Right now, I'm watching a sweet film called "A Lot Like Love". It is one of my favourite romance comedy flicks. For a guy to watch a romance, the film needs to have sufficient comedy to keep it interesting. "A Lot Like Love" has just the right amount. I recommend it, especially if looking for a movie to watch with your lady friend.
