Recession? What recession?

Last Wednesday, I've accompanied my wife to Putrajaya as she's having some sort of job-related interview there. After that, I've decided to go to Island & Peninsular (I&P) sales office to have a look at the offer that they've for one of their housing project in Kinrara. Seri Idaman to be exact. Check it out here. It was launched last month and it's already sold out. Arghhh, just when I've found out the right place, looks like someone else did, and much earlier. Recession? What recession?

Chelsea won FA cup last night. At least they've got silverware. Haha. With goals coming from regular aging scorer, Lampard and Drogba, I wonder what'll happen 2-3 years from now without younger players. At least, Essien and Mikel Obi still young with Mancienne showing potential. Now what we need is a prodigy striker.

Yesterday, I went out with my wife to my colleague wedding reception and then straightaway to One Utama. We did some shopping for our soon-to-be newborn. As a last minute kind of person, I don't really fancy buying stuff so early but when I think that later, in the later stage of my wife pregnancy, she might get tired easily and I'll have to do the shopping alone, I decided to have a go. Haha.

One thing that I've learned, baby stuff is not that cheap although it's much smaller. Take baby car seat for example. Recaro baby car seat is almost as expensive as the full-size seat. Well, I'll not buy Recaro anyway. I don't want to spoiled my child. Haha.

Oh yes, I've decided, I'll buy a DSLR camera. Now to decide, Nikon or Canon. Lol

Waist wasted

Last weekend, finally after i don't know how many days/weeks/months, I'm going out with my wife. Yeah, it's been a long time due to the preggy thingy (nausea, vomitting, etc.).

We went to my office-mate wedding's reception at MATRADE nearby Jalan Duta. Quite happening I would say.

The next day, we went to Mid Valley and shopping like crazy. Jusco had sale at the exhibition level.

What caught me off-guard was the size of my pants now. Arghh damn it. 1 and a half years ago, it was 32. Last year it was 34. Now?? Haha. Let's just say, it has increase exponentially.

This is what you get when you live/work sedentarily in IT line happily without real pressure. At this rate, I'll need to buy new pants every year.

Unstoppable Barca?

Chelsea drew a lot of criticism for it's hard-line defensive tactic against the all-attacking Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

Well yesterday "El Clasico" prove the point. You just cant fight fire with fire against the attacking prowess of Eto, Messi and Henry. The Madritistas was humiliated to the core.

In that sense, Guus Hiddink is really a genius. That's why, Chelsea is the only team that's able to get a clean sheet at Nou Camp(yes, with a number of yellow cards). It's a compliment to Barca really. In their current form, a 0-0 was a really good result.

Now, let's see what he's up to for the 2nd leg at Stamford Brigde. What a mouth-watering fixture!
