I have no hobby

I realised many years ago that I have no hobby, my attention span is short, I tried to pick up badminton, golf, write a book, guitar, fishing, but nothing stick.



Everytime I fill in an application form, I would genericly fill in the hobby column "Reading, swimming, travel"



Well, I do most of them, but I do not excel in any of them. The only thing I am good at is movies, I like movies, but if you think logically it is counter productive. Still, I watch whatever new movies I can get my hands on, except horror movies.



My new boss at work is good with his hands, can fix anything mechanical, likes fast cars and bikes, I sometimes wonder if I will ever accummulate his skills, not likely though.



I like travelling, also, seems a bit counter productive, and you can do it once or twice a year anyway, not like something which can fill your time durng week nights and weekends.



I joined a fitness center last year, try to get myself fit, one year and a half down the road, I am still fat, I go to the gym every Saturday morning whenever I am in KL, 30 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes in the gym, and sometimes if not many people, 30 minutes in the pool. Can this qualify as a hobby?



What other hobbies can you think of? I used to love computer games (another counter productive habby). I used to collect stamps, then for a while switch to collecting currency, like I said earlier, nothing last.



What is wrong with me?



Another thing I really enjoy is food, not good for me as I am already overweight. I enjoy reading introduction of new food joints in the newspaper and then track them down and try them all.



All in all, seems like my hobby is only eat and watch movies? Sad city boy...



I missed camping...

JUST MARRIED 13&14 SEPTEMBER 2008

One might want to ask why 13 & 14 sept? well, we chinese are used to 2 calenders, apart form the normal calender we use, chinese have the Lunar calender where we use to decide every occasion with it.


For the uninformed, 14 Sept 2008 is actually day 15 of the 8 month of 2008, which is the Mid Autumn Festival (aka mooncake festival laaa...). A big day for most of the chinese throughout the world, and a sacred day for us. The day we had our tea ceremony in front of our ancestors, parents and relatives.


Since many relatives coming from Penang and Ipoh, we have decided to avoid the peak to have our dinner on Sunday night. Hence a simple dinner (drunk nevertheless...hehe) on Saturday night (13 September 2008).


Many thanks to all relatives, friends, colleagues who have attended and help over the 2 days. Hope we will share this memory until we are old, senile and cannot remember anymore...
