It was gr8 meeting up with ex-civica gang. Wow. Never two years would be such a huge gap. There were lots of laugh and many of us moved onto professional roles than we had in year 2007. All of us matured just that more. Or could that be because of we aged that much more. LOL. Oh, can't wait for next one.
Occasionally I get this ringing noise in my ear. The doctor says it noise from within which needs to escape by holding breath and gentle blow. It occurs when I have too much energy and can't sleep early. However, this has never been case in previous years. Possibly it is tinnuitus. Mysterious. On another point, Ashton Kustcher was the 1st person to have 1 million followers and beating CNN in the twitter race. 17/4/2009.
Flocked to HIA Home Show and saw some many big ticket products for the home, many were not innovation but to decorate more or less. Very little on repair and maintenance existing home. Some what disappointed. After having spoken to an expert in kitchen and bathroom dept, it seems my creaky floor is due loose corroded nail which requires uprooting the existing tiles. Yet after showing my photos of the shower stall and tile damade it is estimated my floor board has water damage and need to re-do the whole bathroom. Um. However, it is advised I should not try to repair it now, as it is pointless beautify 1 room and not fix the rest of the house. Huh? Now confused by the expert's opinion. It was a good experience to go to HIA Home Show but reality requires a real trades person to solve it. Sales people don't quite cut it.

I have managed to finish reading 'the curious case of Benjamin Button' by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. The story telling style was beautifully crafted and smoothing handling in expressing family frustration. The story reminds us how prejudice we are, how stereotype focus we can be,
and as a society we weave false stories about people we do not know intimately. It is also demonstrate that an individual can overcome image and achieve one goals which can be fleeting at times. Sad that the main character Benjamin no longer find his wife attractive due to her aging face. Still this book is a page turner alright. I had used 'Stanza' app to read this ebook. I have say turning pages back and forth was very natural and easy on this app. It does bookmark the page you last read or used the app. I have not tried enlarge text on the pages or tried audio books lately. This is a great app to have on iPhone.
