Recreational Vehicle

Mee and I watched a movie called RV yesterday. The RV stands for Runaway Vacation in this movie but the true meaning of it is Recreational Vehicle, better known as caravan in the UK. However, RV is a more common term in US and they have RV parks across the US. In those parks, electricity is provided which can be connected to the RV. Apparently, it seems to be quite popular in US and they even have companies offering rv financing or RV loans. I remember that in one of the Top Gear shows, the presenters tried to find the fastest caravan by taking various models of caravan to a racetrack. At the end of the show, they presented a luxurious £750,000 RV. No wonder RV-ers need financial plan to buy an RV!

Still Fiddling Samsung Omnia

It has been a lazy weekend especially it was raining all day long yesterday as well as today. The bad news is that Mee has a sore throat. Hope that she will recover in no time.

Hmm… I still have not revived my All My Reviews blog. I am still quite busy at work, trying to figure some coding and things like that. On the other hand, I am also actively trying to find the best cooked ROM for my Samsung Omnia. These things should have been posted on All My Reviews but I always wait until I gather more information. I am using FloTanium ROM at the moment and it is faster than the previous ROM that I used. I still quite like a few features in the previous ROM but it was not very stable and slow. I use my Samsung NC10 to flash the cooked ROM. I remember seeing some forum posters saying that older refurbished laptops have caused problems when flashing cooked ROM. I am not sure how true it is but I am glad that I bought my Samsung NC10 from new.

Hopefully, I will soon find the strength and time to post in All My Reviews.

Weight loss

Thinking back of Mee and my trip to Barcelona, I have actually lost 1 kilogram. When I started putting on weight by eating more and training in the gym, I was only able to gain an average 2.5 kilogram per month. Well, I have to say that I did not eat much in Barcelona and Mee and I were walking around the city everyday. Now I begin to worry about what will happen if I go back to Malaysia next year. On the other hand, I should be worried about this Christmas first because Mee and I will be at my sister’s place, which means no training but I must try to eat more just to maintain my weight. I just do not quite understand why my body weight would drop so easily yet it is so hard for me to gain weight. I bet that I can lose weight faster than people who are on appetite suppressant.

Junk mails

Mee and I have been receiving a lot of life insurance quote especially from the banks; motor insurance quote, personal loans, mortgage, life insurance quote and countless of quotes and loans. What is wrong with these banks? Few weeks ago, I updated my HSBC account at the branch and I specifically stated that I do not wish to receive any irrelevant mails. But I still get them. Each bank statements come with a few brochures and sometimes, there are wine vouchers and you will be able to use those vouchers if you spend a certain amount of money. Every single time I receive these mails, I will just throw them into the recycle bin. Most of the banks encourage us to be green yet they still send copies and copies of brochures.

Christmas shopping …

It is quite a weird day. A couple of hours back, it was bright and sunny and I actually felt hot at my workplace. Anyway, I am still tied down with a couple of tasks. I have not gone through the photos taken in Barcelona, Spain. I guess I will do it this weekend.

Tomorrow, the office will be calm and quiet. A few colleagues of mine have taken some days off to do Christmas shopping. Hmm… Christmas is only a month from now. As usual, Mee and I will be going to my sister’s place in London to celebrate Christmas.

Few weeks ago, I flashed my Samsung Omnia with a cooked ROM. It works alright but since the creator of the ROM has decided to leave the scene, I thought I might find another ROM to play with. I found one and over the next few days, I might flash my Samsung Omnia with it. Now that I have the full rights on my office computer, I might even flash my Samsung Omnia during lunch hour!

Back at work

Second day at work after a week’s of holiday. Busy is the word. The weather is getting cold and windy, which makes it a lot tougher for me to get up early in the morning. How nice it would be to stay in the bed and not to worry about work. Well, these two days, I found myself talking about the same thing over and over again. I was asked about Mee and my Barcelona trip every time I saw a colleague of mine. I guess that it was the same for one of my colleagues who have come back from her cruise last week.

She showed me some photos and I was particularly interest in one of her luggage, which to me, is quite unique. She told me that she bought it from Jack Georges. Well, I never heard of it though. Do I fancy a cruise? I am not sure but Mee is kind of certain that it will be a waste of time and money to be on a cruise. Time will tell but cruise is quite expensive.
