一年一度的冬至节

冬至到了!!

大家都在忙着搓汤圆。。在那么有意义的日子里,当然要和家人热热闹闹一起搓汤圆吧。 今年特地提早回家帮妈妈, 可是并不是一家人, 老爸和姐姐都在忙, 只有我和妹妹。。当然, 也不会少了我的 "photographer"。。。

开始啦!!

我不懂冬至的由来, 只知道吃了汤圆就老一岁。

冬至是.......

冬至,是华人农历中一个非常重要的节气,也是一个传统节日,至今仍有不少地方有过冬至节的习俗。冬至俗称冬节长至节亚岁等。早在二千五百多年前的春秋时代,华人已经用土圭观测太阳测定出冬至来了,它是二十四节气中最早制订出的一个。时间在每年的阳历1222日或者23日之间。
冬至是北半球全年中白天最短、黑夜最长的一天,过了冬至,白天就会一天天变长。古人对冬至的说法是:阴极之至,阳气始生,日南至,日短之至,日影长之至,故曰冬至。冬至过后,各地气候都进入一个最寒冷的阶段,也就是人们常说的进九,我国民间有冷在三九,热在三伏的说法。
现代天文科学测定,冬至日太阳直射南回归线,阳光对北半球最倾斜,北半球白天最短,黑夜最长,这天之后,太阳又逐渐北移。
在中国古代对冬至很重视,冬至被当作一个较大节日,曾有冬至大如年的说法,而且有庆贺冬至的习俗。《汉书》中说:冬至阳气起,君道长,故贺。人们认为:过了冬至,白昼一天比一天长,阳气回升,是一个节气循环的开始,也是一个吉日,应该庆贺....”

Eiffel Tower, I Didn't Know It Looks Like This!

Addicted to Facebook's "Guess the Sketch" game recently...

It is a game of drawing and guessing. Guess what other people are drawing and win the match. I like the game because I can find out how good is my vocabulary and drawing skills....And....it is very interesting to see how people draw out the meaning of the words.

But, sometimes the drawing is so "creative" and makes me laugh till I burst.

Can you tell the answer for this is "Paris"?? I didn't know Eiffel Tower looks like this...But I still get it right finally because the "drawer" cheating by giving the words hint.

I can't draw well also, but really love this game...

My Multiply Have BUG!!!

I need to delete my http://kathypy.multiply.com multiply account due to lots of bugs found in my old multiply account.

The photos page is showing wrong images when try to preview the images by clicking on the thumbnail. I am getting disappointed because I didn't get any reply after so long I sent a request to multiply customer service to fix the issue that I am facing.

So.....this is my new account, everything is still the same as previous except all the comments posted by others are gone. sob* sob*.

Also my contacts are empty, so I need to re-add all my friends to my new account.

"Hey, it's me again, please add me!!"

New multiply account...

Fishing at Teluk Bahang

Ah Lok, the pancing guru dated us fishing at Teluk Bahang during the weekend.

Wake up 7 in the morning, and meet up at Gurney tower for breakfast. First time trying Subway breakfast, the burger 卖相 not so good, but still taste nice.



Hubby driving and we reached Teluk Bahang around 10am... Ahhhhhhhhhhh...How can I forgot to bring my sun block, and it is damn hot outside. Luckily Ah Lok brought a very small bottle and he shared to me.

There is a long "bridge" to walk, until we reach the fishing place which is sheltered. The view is so nice and no one is there to share the place with us, just 3 of us. We can see a lot of fishing boats parking near there, and see the fisherman bathing on the fishing boat with only 三角裤. So funny!!

Ah Lok helped to get the fishing rod ready with sotong as bait, and set nicely waiting fishes to rise to bait.
It has been a hard time for first 1 1/2 hours, and we started to play "chor dai di" while waiting for fishes.

Finally, 11 something....We started to feel some movement on the fishing rod....and the hard time is over. However, 1st fish not eatable according to guru...Sigh++

And my bait is gone, but where's the fish....


Me, lonely waiting for fish to grab my bait.

But still we able to catch around 7 fishes "only" and a mini 濑尿虾 before we leave Teluk Bahang. Also caught a weird organism as shown in photo, we named it 海蜈蚣.

We fried everything we caught as our dinner. Yummy!!
And thanks Ah Lok to bring us there, a nice place for relaxing and photo shoot. But I got sun burned again because walking out from the shelter to take photos. The sun block not so effective.

The Beginner of DSLR

Started to play around with the brand new Canon 450d DSLR from hubby. Thanks for investing this new hobby and I know he likes it very much too. He feels glad whenever I am willing to spend time learning new things.

Has been very hardworking during the weekend to drive around and see which place is suitable for our first time shooting with the new DSLR. Hubby let me try out the new toy and he shoot with the S3IS semipro so that we can compare the different quality of photos between the two machines.

First time facing the difficulty to capture a proper photo with the manual setting. Wrong settings make the quality even worse than auto mode. And photography is not just taking photo with the correct mode, but also depends on angle of shooting, which I am still weak in this. Still a lot to learn , will spend more time attending photography sharing classes. We are so excited to explore this new hobby......

Just me and the new toy...

No Project Schedule Pressure

Heard that we are going to be really free after ramping down from the current project. First time since I joined Intel, what a good news to me.
It's time to think about what can be done during the few weeks/months without project schedule pressure.
Don't know since when, I have started to put down a lot of things that I used to do, non-stop working make everything else progress slower and finally stop doing it.

My plan.....
Taking one week off not doing anything but really rest at home. And arrange my to-do list below:

"Wash" my keyboard and dig out all my piano books, hubby gonna sell it away if I leave it there for another month...
Attending class on DSLR sharing...
Finish "Where do all the paperclips go" and "Letters to Sam"...
Finish "Hero" Season1 and Season2...
Back-up all my photos...
Plan for next year family trip...
Change hair style...
Date my girlfriends...

Hope to do at least the above few things during the few weeks/months free time.
