Mixture of foods!

I made taro with wings and beer. Turned out pretty good. Haha... its a funny good combination.

Ooooh.. Congrats to Ri!
Very excited and happy for you. I look forward to next year! hehe..
Wonder who's next.. hehe..

So, I have this squishy wrist rest in the shape of a relatively flat hippo on its tummy and the insides of the hippo has pink glow in the dark stars. The hippo itself has transparent covering or skin, so it pretty much appears a little pink and translucent. Anyways, anyone who comes to my office always looks at it and pokes the hippo. Haha.. and many people think its a pig. Just because its pink!

March is a month of b-days. Lots of food and dinners!! Good food, great company and empty pockets! hehe.. =p

Silly question and silly people

I have a silly question: If I have expired multi-vitamin and I ingest those, is it going to boost my vitamin level or make me sick?

Onto silly people: If you put a message on your IM, such as a place, without a timeline, it probably means you're at that place, or you'll be there soon (with a countdown). If you put a place in your IM message for a couple of days and then follow it up with a "I'm not at that place", then you're most likely a silly person or a fake!

Tired

I didn't do too much but I still feel tired.
Today was a really nice day, sunny and bright, so went to rollerblade and ended up biking a bit too. It was pretty fun, but turned out pretty chilly.
I should do my taxes soon. Haha... I sound so boring with nothing to say, but I am starting to realize that this is how things are most of the time. Its good to be a little boring sometimes, but its at boring times that you can get to relax a little.

Stubborn

I can be such a stubborn prick sometimes!

This is not a good week for me. Nothing has been going right.
Somedays, you just wish work would go away.

Hm.. and people are talking about saving for retirement. I understand we do need to save for that, but seriously, a bunch of us just started working. Aren't there other things to save for? I mean there's more than half our lives that needs to be lived before we hit retirement or retirement age. Imagine scraping every penny from now for the next 30 odd years, only to die as soon as you retire or maybe before that. I know, I am being grim and dark today. Why do you need so much money when you retire anyways? Because of health problems? If there's so many health problems, maybe its not worth it.
heh... nevermind me. I am just baffled by all this saving for retirement! People in developing 3rd world countries don't really have retirement plans and a lot of people barely have enough to live by on a daily basis. What happens to them when they get old? I guess they work. If you're working 40 years in your life already, whats 3-5 years more? I guess all I am saying is we'll probably still live even after you retire and didn't save as much.

Going postal!

No, I am not going to stop email and all the nice things the internet offers. The snail mail has been driving me postal! I had something sent to me from Canada, twice. First was an express package. It took about a week and a half to get here. Next, was a simple mail. Why waste money on express, if its going to be slower than regular mail? Big mistake. Its been over 2 weeks with no sign of the mail.
I am convinced its the Canadian side thats slow. Please contradict me if you strongly believe it isn't so. So, why would I think its the Canada side?
I had something sent to me from US days *after* the Cdn mail got sent. It was ground service and supposed to take 3-7 days. I got it in 3.

Ok, so maybe its crossing the border that is what is taking it so long. Goodness!!
Its a neighbouring country. You can reach by land alone. People are allowed to move freely back and forth across the border for most parts (I'm talking about legal residents).
I don't know. Maybe there is tight security over mail right now. They need to scan every piece of paper crossing the border.

Still, I believe its Canada Post or maybe Canada and US post combined.
If you ship by UPS or FedEx, it doesn't amount to that much more (yes, compared with Canada Express mail) and it arrives much faster, with tracking number etc, to let you know whats going on. I am not trying to sell FedEx or UPS, but the delay is just crazy!
