It's that time again...

that the roads are a bit emptier.

Ahhhh..school holidays. It's that time of the year when we can discount the traffic going to school from the morning rush hour. I actually go out from the house at 0745, make my way to the petrol station, fill up and still managed to reach office before 0830hrs. If only everyday is like this, it would be bliss.

Alas, even if it's only for a few weeks per year, it definitely something to be enjoyed! This time around,  it's for the next two week...woohoo!

Ouch..

Here I was sitting in an almost empty room listening to a presentation in English. It was painful, to say the least as the presenter is clearly struggling with the presentation. The information presented is interesting, but the actual presentation leaves much to be desired. I would understand that English is definitely not the presenter's mother tongue, but homework should be done and presentation should be practiced and rehearsed. Especially if it is in a language that you're not familiar with. Some effort would show or maybe you should stick to presenting in your mother tongue. Anyway, congratulations and better effort next time ;)

Finally..BonBook is complete ;)

My smartphone of choice is Blackberry, so its only fair that my choice of tablet should be one from Blackberry as well. Blackberry Playbook was launched in April 2011, with leading edge specs, at least at the moment and a clever interface which uses the bezel to navigate.

Unfortunately, Playbook was panned by critics because it was launched without a native email and PIM, which considering Blackberry's strength, was strange. To RIM's defence, access to emails and PIM was provided through BB Bridge, a stroke of genius which puts security well in perspective.

In responding to the market pressure, RIM comes out with numerous beta updates, which provides a glimpse into whats in store. Fast forward to February 2012, and finally the awaited software update, with the awaited native email and PIM, with a lot of other goodies inclusive of the impressive remote control function.

So right now, BonBook is officially running 2.0.0.7971 bridged to BonBerry with Bridge 2.0.0.25 ;). Sweeettttt!!!!

Being environmental friendly...

...is financially rewarding.

How many of us really take a good look into our trash and sort those that we can recycle? Or is it easier to just lump it all out with our actual trash? When we buy stuffs, usually we throw away the cardboard packaging. Likewise, we dont give that much thought to the glass and plastic bottles that houses our drinks, sauces etc.

Once every two months, we try to send in the recyclables for recycling. And for the month of January, we actually get RM6.00 for our recylables. Not bad for something that some of us consider as trash. We'll update the total for Recycling Fund for 2012 over time.

Recycling Fund as at Jan 2012 stands at RM6.00

One down, lots to go..

After the last last ride for 2011, at the very end of December, it has been a bit quiet. Then, Am-strong suggested a ride to usher in the new year. Plans are made, friends called, invitations extended. We agreed to meet at The Office at 0730hrs on Saturday.

A pleasant surprise, when in all, five other friends show up. Am-strong, Lee Ming, Ammar, and newbies, Siti together with Fong Ling completes the group. We decided to take Am-strong's suggested route to The Summit and back. Coming out from The Office, we took the motorcycle lanes and it was maintained well. No exposed drains and ill positioned grates.

We ride for about 75 mins and stopping only to rehydrate at Kinrara R&R. Not bad for a 26km ride. Everybody is looking forward to the next ride, but it won't be Bagan Lalang. Not yet anyway, kan Am-strong?

Finally..

Its the day before Christmas, and finally I manage to post from BonBook. Anyway, BonBook is currently running OS 2.0.0.6149, and I'm quite happy with the latest beta ;)

Now, just need to think whether I really need to upgrade BonBerry to OS7 Berries? Top of the line 9930 or maybe mid class 9790?

'MERRY CHRISTMAS' everyone!

where do i put my bike helmet?..

Another revolution of the wheel..

Received a SMS from Abg Man, invite for a ride to Bagan Lalang on Sunday morning. Made plans earlier and contemplated to give the ride a pass. But then again, it has been quite some time since I have last ridden Scotty (almost 4 month to be exact). So, feeling a bit optimistic, Bagan Lalang seems like a doable distance. If I can't finish the whole distance, I could just do it half way.

But then again, I have to be realistic. It has been almost four month since I last ridden Scotty. And no physical activities of any kind, other than lifting wok, pots etc. So, the sobering thought that I have also added more weight, decided to give that Bagan Lalang ride a pass.

Will need to train and ride a bit before I can re-join the Clan. There is no other way. Now, where did I put the spare tube and the new pump?
