In the papers…
…read some pretty interesting news in the papers today.
Virgin, AirAsia and EasyJet might be alliancing to form the world’s first budget collaboration.
Fares could be as low as RM100 to China.. if that’s supposed to be anything like how AirAsia thinks RM100 plus air fares/air travel costs can be advertised as RM9.90, well… we certainly have an idea what RM100 realllllly means.
The implications are enormous.
On one hand it might mean my existing sponsored trips to wherever might now involve less frills, less luxury and less-hot stewardesses. It can also mean increase in such trips and or/distance. However, can you imagine 20 hours in less than economy class conditions?
Hmmm…
In some good news… received a very very pleasant surprise from dadda.
Boo has a new swing in the backyard as Xmas pressie… she loves it even as she hangs on for dear life.
Got a superb 21 sec video of her on it, kicking her heels to go higher and higher…all while she is singing her little lungs out…Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
Great rhythm… i even think she timed her lyrics according to the swings.
I also think she is actually rapping it, cos managed to catch her very clear Brit accent in… “like a… diaaaay-moond… in d……. skyyyyyy.”
Yep. Technically a rap.
This here is pic of Boo kicking up her heels … much like can-can dancers or even rappers with the headgear to go with it…

Its the new year. Couldnt lift myself off the chair to prepare for niteout even though an old schoolmate who lives nearby offered to collect and send me back. Got tired of waiting for a 7MB download to finish and dozed off.
Woke up a little at 12 am when my other sis visited from Serdang and scratched my ears… “Wake up Cathy…wake up…we going yum cha… wanna come?” *scratch scratch scratch*
Past two days have been parking myself in front of idjut box with work lappy for hours on end. Developed a stiff back and knotted neck… also Discovered, that I actually get work done - mixture of researching, writing/jotting/scribbling and reading mags that a colleague skivved off an event. Some good stuff in there. Especially this one mobile entertainment mag by Questex (Computerworld HK) called Charged that comes out once every two months. (www.charged.mobi). Seen before names…
The publisher knows heckuva lotta relevant industry people and is really able to tap into their passion and knowledge and expertise about the industry … reading the mag was like discovering revelation after revelation.If only………

Waited hours and hours for a 7MB download via wireless yesterday… may just scoot hop upstairs for today… just to see the new shelves… see how it goes.
Just read a friends update that its snowing in Beijing… who wouldave thought… just few months ago.. weather barely warranted a scarf… the air then was thick with dust…… would it be crystal clear and fresh now?
