The invasion of Pokemon

The invasion of Pokemon (17-Feb) Following the annihilation of Dooodolls kingdom, the Pokemon empire is slowly conquering our family. There are now 6 soft toys (2 big, 2 medium and 2 small) versus 14 Dooodolls soft toys.

Fish Tank

We got a new fish tank in the house. Currently there are 9 residents in the fish tank. Eight of them being small colourful fish and the 9th fish- nickname “Bandaraya” or the vacuum cleaner. Lets hope they enjoy your time here.

Firecrackers

One of the highlight of this Chinese New Year is playing Firecrackers. It’s the first time I’ve played in years and this round HongYi and HongXin are joining the fun. We have fun with the following types of firecrackers.

Type 1: The magical wand type. Now comes with original and with color. RM 3 per pack. Simple but kids always love it as you can hold it.

Type 2: The spinning on the floor type. RM 4 per pack. The good thing about this is that its cheap.

Type 3: The loud and go up to the sky and pop! Relatively cheap too but the noisy can be both exciting and irritating.

Type 4: The beautiful wonder on the floor. RM 5 each. Not cheap but really beautiful.

Type 5: Like a real firework. Its kinda noisy and fly to the sky for the big beautiful firework. RM 10 but only 1 shot.

Type 6: The hold in the hand and shoot to the air type. RM 6 each for 6 shot. Not noisy and the firework is smaller.

Orion

Hundred steps after meal and you will be strong and healthy.

We did just that over the last weekend. As we look up the sky, we saw no others but Orion Constellation. It is the very first time HY saw Orion in the sky and he is so excited after seeing it so many times in the book and in his toy torchlight. He was so excited that he kept shouting Orion Belt and Rigel (the foot of the hunter).

Hang on, there is a brighter star below Rigel that caught our eyes. Who is that? Yes! That is Sirius and it happened to be very nearby.

Wait wait wait. There is another much brighter star on the other side of the sky. Its so bright that it looks like a spot light shinning at us. What do you think it is? Yupe.. its not a star and it is definitely not a plane.

Walk and Sleep

After using Mi-Band2 since mid of November, a full month of data (month of December) is now available. Average sleeping of 6hours 16 minutes per day and walking of 7,137 steps per day. My target is sleeping 6 hours 30 minutes per day and 8,000 steps per day. Walk more and sleep more :)

Short Cut Keys

What do you do if you can't think of the short-cut keys to your mobile phone apps/function?

Answer: Grab any Generation-Y kid and ask them. They are practically walking encyclopaedia to new tech. :)

P.S. Three fingers slide down = capture screen on phone

Mi Band 2

Finally! Birthday present for this year (from myself) has arrived! This new version Mi Band 2, which also serve as Sport Watch for me looks cool. Hopefully I can use it for several months.

Super Moon

It is said there will be a super moon on Nov 14th, 2016; and that it will be 14% bigger and 30% brighter.
We couldn't see it in Klang Valley due to bad weather. Nonetheless, the photos that other people post (which they claim to be un-edited) looks more like 1400% bigger and 30% reder. I wonder if any of them are true.

Hobbies

Man without hobbies are no different to salted fish.
I haven't play basketball in two years. I haven't been playing computer games lately. I hardly drink any wines apart from the entry level wines.
Question. Am I a salted fish?
