I Lost My Password

I can’t believe it… I actually lost my password.

Well, I can always click on the “forget password” to request for a new one. Unfortunately I forget that I changed my admin email address too!

Then I have to try numerous email address in order to retrieve the password. It took me about 5 minutes to find one. Whew…!  (what a relief)

Now, I’m posting this one just to let you guys know…

… It’s ok to forget the password but never the clue that will help you to retrieve or request a new password.

Never, never, forget about the backup plan.

Well, I can start posting again.

Valentine’s Day Guide For Men

The Westerners celebrate Valentine’s Day on Feb 14, but the Chinese do it on the fifteenth day of Chinese New Year, Chap Goh Mei.

This year is the first time we get to celebrate 2 occasions on the same day. Let’s celebrate the prosperity of love and Tiger year together.

For all romantics out there who have gone through the ups and downs of a relationship and the eventual kiss and make up, here’s your chance to put that experience to use now.

I found a very interesting and useful guide for men. Some find it hilarious, some find it useless and some find it fresh. Whatever it is, take some time to make this celebration more meaningful.

Here is the “A Guy’s Guide to Having The Best V-Day Ever”:

1. Surprise her with rose petals scattered on new bed linen and your romantic gesture is bound to last more than a night.
2. Not a chef but want to impress her with your cooking? Remember to scent the air with her favourite fragrance to disguise the aroma of burnt food.
3. Leave that remote control alone. With lingerie as gifts, you get to have your very own private show.
4. Flowers are romantic, but appealing to her pragmatic side will score you extra points.
5. Get her a handbag that’s big enough to hold everything, including your wallet, your GPS navigator and your handphone.

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year 2010

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year 2010 to everyone! According to Chinese calender this year is also the year of the Tiger and many believe that it promises to be auspicious.

If you are in business, you will be raking in the money this year. But this only applies to those born in 1974 as different fortunes await other Tigers. Or so predicts a Hong Kong feng shui master.

I’m not so fond of such predictions. I usually don’t pay much attention, however I do read it for fun. If you are one to believe in such predictions, those born in the Year of the Tiger are said to be full of life, fearless, noble and bursting with vigour.

My sister was born in the Year of Tiger. That makes her a tigress. When at work, she is very serious and men are probably scared of her. Just joking.

Coincidentally,  the first day of Chinese New Year is also a Valentine’s day. I think this is the first occasion in my life. 2 in1 anyone?

The main point here is family reunion. Now is the time we gather around, catch the old time and foster greater relationship with one another. I never forget to ask for forgiveness. This is important because you don’t always get the chance.

My plan is visiting some close relatives and good dinners. No plan to travel far this Chinese New Year.

How are you going to celebrate this Chinese Lunar New Year?
