Can this be more addictive? I can’t seem to hit the penguin further than 491 meters(?)/feet(?)!!!
Update: 586.4 is the furthest I have done so far.

The fun of driving
One of the thing I missed most since I moved to the U.S. is that I am no longer a car owner. Before the move, I owned a Ford Puma which is a small sport car only sold in Europe and in limited number (~10,000 were made per year). Here are a couple of photos of my car soon after I bought it brand new from the car dealer.
The great thing about the Puma (apart from its fantastic styling) is the handling. Although the engine was by no mean very powerful (only a 4 cylinders/1.7 litre/125 bhp) but coupled with the finely tuned chassis (tuned by the Ford Special Vehicles Team who also works with Cosworth Racing for Ford’s European Rally team) it is a dynamite on the road. The progressive powered steering makes it easy to drive around town while transmitting the feel of a non-powered steering at high speed. The suspensions were tuned such that it is again ‘progressive’. It has none of the dull understeer most cars have and when push too hard, snaps into oversteer. The Puma is tuned to be slightly tail light and as it is pushed harder and harder, it retains only very slight understeer and gradually fades to oversteer. Thus, this gives the driver (me!) the confidence to push the car hard as there is no nasty surprises.

Well, it's confirmed
I am officially no longer working on a project, though I am still ‘available’ for anything that require my attention which I think will be far and between. Let’s hope the job interview I am having tomorrow morning will be successful and land myself a job. At least I have more time to work on the TypeWriter app.
Chinese New Year
Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, the year of monkey. Being the good Chinese that I am (*cough*, *cough*) Leah and I are planning to go to Chinatown this weekend and see what kind of New Year food we can acquire. First and foremost on the list is the red sticky sweet rice cake that I love so much.
And this is the first New Year that I am married so I am no longer eligible for the red pocket money 😦 Instead tradition rules that we, now as married couple, should give out those red pocket money! At least being in the separate continent let me get away from not giving any out! Ha!
ER Soundtrack found!
Thanks to TiVo wishlist feature, I was able to watch the ‘On the Beach’ episode again this weekend. And I was wrong in my previous post that “Over The Rainbow” by Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole was not the soundtrack I was looking for. It is and the track is in my iTunes Music Store shopping cart right now.
