After a long search for the perfect house, I finally found one which has got most of the features I wanted. Of course, if i had it my way, i would build a house from scratch rather than buying an already built house. Anyway, because I was renting before, i didn't find it necessary to buy my own furniture at that time and it would have been a hassle moving furniture to the new house and costly as well. Therefore I had to find a nice comfortable sofa so that ...

For a couple of years now, I've been looking at my previous year's resolution and see whether I've managed to achieve them or not. So for my 2009 resolution, here's what has been happening: Spend more time with Poum (holiday, less time on computers etc) - more or less achieved Set up a business - pretty much done Exercise - no time to do Play guitar - no free time to play For 2010, I've decided to concentrate on the bits which I didn't manage to complete in my last year's resolution. Therefore my 2010 ...

Since yesterday, it's been snowing all over London and flights have been suspended across major airports like Gatwick. My once used to be green garden is now completely white with snow and my cats are loving it. They were the first ones to step onto the fresh snow and all you can see now is pawprints everywhere. Unfortunately though, I've had to cancel my trip to Ikea because I don't want to be stranded in traffic because of the snow. I wanted to go there to get a few things in ...

It's been a tough decision for me but i finally made up my mind to give my chickens away. The reason for this is that i plan to travel a lot next year and chicken boarding will work out too expensive. Having chickens and getting your own fresh eggs is an amazing experience. I've been getting eggs consistenly everyday from 2 of my hens (hybrids) and the 3rd one was just about to lay eggs. She was 2 weeks younger than the others but because she was a pure breed ...

I was meant to buy a new laptop for quite a while now but I never really got to it. During the beginning of this month, the need for a new laptop grew even more but I held back because I knew that Windows 7 was coming out on the 22nd of October. All the laptop shops had Vista installed on their laptops but assured that you will get free upgrade to Windows 7 once it's out. However if you purchase a new laptop, you will have to return it ...

It's amazing the amount of junk people can have. You don't realise it until you start wondering whether you really need these stuff. I recently came across a couple of books which were taking a lot of space on my bookshelf and decided that I was no longer in need of them. I wouldn't read them again as they were old programming books which are mostly outdated now. So I decided to take them to charity instead of chucking them in the bin. Some people might find it still useful. ...

Just came back from a fabulous holiday in Menorca. It is pleasantly surprising that the one place that we've been trying to avoid for so long turned out to be one of the best places we've visited so far. The reason for avoiding Spain is because it's a cheap getaway and most touristic places there have lost their Spanish uniqueness in a bid to please an ever growing influx of British tourists. You tend to get more British food like "Fish & Chips", "Baked Beans & Omelette" instead of traditional ...

Unbelievable, I'll tell you. Just when I wasn't expecting it, it happened. I was going to clean the chicken coop and as I was passing by the chicken run, I saw a tiny egg looking directly at me. It didn't click at first but then I realised it was my very first organic egg from my own garden. The proud hybrid has given me my first egg. Just can't wait to taste it now, yummy!

Tiger Billy and Jet Li had their first vaccine yesterday and it costs me £100 for the two of them. They were also given a worm medicine when I took them to the vets and that was £12 and should last a couple of days. They need to go for another vaccine in 3 weeks time. Fortunately I don't have to pay for that because it was all paid when I went first time round. However the second vaccine is really important because the first vaccine would not work if ...

Just checking my yahoo email account and was surprised to see that Geocities is closing down on the 26th of October 2009. I must admit that I'm quite upset because 12 years back, it was with geocities that I started my very first website when I was learning HTML. Back then, I didn't know much about programming and was content with basic webpages with a few pretty images. I had kept my personal website at geocities and have rarely touched it but it was nice to know that it existed. Anyway, ...
