Logistics Arrangement between 8-10 September

Chatting with Nelson last night before going to bed only to realise that he might wanna go to BP earlier than the planned 10th September. It was a weird chat coz I told him if you go to BP on 8th, you'll still have to stay till at least 14th. I was thinking of going on 10th and stay till 14th coz might make a day trip to KL on 13th.



Anyways, have a couple of things to iron out.



MM: will let you know if we're going on 8th or 10th. What time are you planning to leave on 8th anyway? If we're only going back on 10th, you wanna wait??

A.Eng: What time are you planning to leave Singapore on 10th? When are you going back to Singapore?

Wes: Sent you an email last night about transportation and accommodation. When are you planning to go in to BP? If also on 10th then maybe we can pick both A.Eng and you from Singapore?? Also, when are you going back to Singapore?

OK let me know yah!!! It's only 3 weeks from now!!! Whhheeee!!!!

Eh??

Hey A.Flo, HELLOW Kelvin!

Nice to see you guys here and posted too!

Kelvin: Too quiet for your liking?? What's up with the question marks man

A.Flo: Trying to get all of us to sign up with Hotmal??? :)

I've finished my exams 2 weeks ago - 2 down, 4 more to go!!! I've passed with 88%, a little lower than the 94% I achieved the last time but it's ok....I expected worse really. They have dispatched my 3rd course study materials 2 days ago so I expect to receive them by next week then it's back to the grind - or maybe not.

I'm really busy at the moment. Weird to hear me say that huh? I have undertaken quiet a number of projects for the 3 weeks between finishing my exams till leaving for Malaysia to keep me occupied. Only, apparently, I have taken up a little too much it seems and with this power rationing going on, it's definitely very frustrating.

I managed to clinch 2 business deals in Kenya - I'll be supplying ladies fashion to 2 girls in Kenya. As a start and support, I'll be helping them start up their website. So that's 2 projects. I'm also involved in Malaysia-Kenya Business Council - in charge of their website as well. Then I'm also helping this Sister to set up a shopping cart for their audio visual products but looks like they don't only need a shopping cart and a paypal account, they need a revamp! So I guess there's a lot of work waiting for me. I have my own website which needs updating as well. Then I have a friend's 20 day European tour to plan for next year. He's only got a budget of GBP1,500. So gotta work within that limits. And I'm thinking of starting another business - will keep that a secret for now till I figure out how I'm going to do about it.

Anyway, I can't stay for long now. Cheerios!

Have a great weekend y'all!

*UPDATED* Pictures of Owen Hudson Lee - fresh from the oven!!!

Hot hot hot!! Watch out!!! Finally the long awaited pictures of Owen Hudson Lee! I got this from A.Florence today who in turn got it from A.Barbara!

Too early to tell resemblance at this point huh? But he's really cute!!! And yes, the name's Owen Hudson Lee. Gonna post all the pics and also the caption which accompanied the pics. Enjoy!!!!!



The night before delivery. There's a big moon outside, and you might be able to see the Empire state building in the distance. A really nice room, and fantastic nurses. They had 3, over different shifts, and they were all just great.



Early morning, just after daybreak, a few hours before delivery.



Liz and Owen, about a minute after delivery!



Too early to see any resemblance...



Liz and Owen in the recovery room. One of the first possessions of a newborn is a hat.

Going home day!

Hola!

Hey Ali!!! Good to hear from you! Wow....it's only the 2nd semester and you're already so busy? What course did you choose in the end?? And you're working too??

How did you end up going to Spain?? Wow wow...that'll be great place to go! Which part of Spain - do you know yet? Would love to go back to Spain and I'm sure Nelson would love to as well IF we can afford it. It really depends on where we are then because his contract in Kenya finishes in 2011. So we might be back in Malaysia or somewhere else - I don't know.

So you'll be learning Spanish then?? YOU GOTTA TEACH ME!!! Gosh that's like one of my favourite language and Nelson's too! The closest I got to Spanish is Italian :s - they have alot of common words. So I can understand a little bit of Spanish with my limited Italian. Was there twice - once in 2006 in Barcelona and 2007 in Madrid/Segovia. You MUST MUST go to Barcelona. Oh yeah, good choice - conserve money. You'll need lots of it there, either for shopping or traveling. Lovely! Oooo I hope we'll come to visit!!!

HELLO FAM!

apologies for being so late to post here!

semester 2 of uni has been keeping me v busy. i still love my course but i have some fastidiously pretentious tutors who insist on arrows being called 'uni-directional associativity'. as if the word arrow didnt suffice?!

anyways (HEY SHIIIIIII!) i dont think i can make it back (as much as i would love to!!!) for le party because, well i still have uni. andd im trying to conserve money because my job does not give me any shifts anddd ive been allocated my country major for international studies. SPAIN 2012 COME VISIT? ;)

i miss bonding time with ah ma though. and i miss quadruple A gossip sessions too! so much i will buy you all one of these:


:) much love

First Great Grandson of the Lee Family

Congratulations Marcus and Liz!!! (Minniemoose: you left out Marcus!!!) I quote Uncle Hua "Baby is the first Great Grandson of the Lee Family" Some of you must be wondering why since Evelin has 2 sons and Adeline has a daughter so why is Marcus' baby the first Great Grandson? Come come, let Teacher An Shii give you a simplified version of Lesson in Chinese Tradition Part I. Evelin's and Adeline's kids do not have the surname Lee. Their mums are married out of the family and hence will not carry the bloodline of the Lee family. Marcus is born to a Lee son and he's the first Grandson for that matter too! In olden day Chinese, the first born son to the eldest son is also considered the youngest son. Confusing?? Simple: Marcus can also be considered Grandpa's and Grandma's youngest son!!! :s Yeah I know......gosh huh? Marcus is your cousin/brother but also your uncle??? *Faint*

Minniemoose: I can't do whatever you told me to do (ie fly SQ to somewhere) because this is company paid ticket which means they'll put us on the cheapest flight out of Kenya. To fly SQ, we'll have to buy from 2 different airlines which will add to the cost of the ticket compared to one which flies out of Kenya like Emirates or Qatar. Otherwise, would have chosen Cape Town or Jo'burg since we're never been there :( You can imagine the extra cost - flying to Cape Town will cost about USD700++ from Kenya. And how much is Cape Town to Singapore? You do the math.

Anlynn: You *heart* which word? Pole pole?? My God...it's superbly overused!!! You tell them to drive faster, they tell you pole pole. You say why haven't they done something. They say pole pole. You get irritated with the jam, they say pole pole.

Nelson was unwell over the weekend. We suspect he might have had an appendicitis in the works so made him go on ceporex + panadol immediately. He's much better now. Actually I think he's completely well now because he's gotten very noisy again. When he's well, he's very active and makes a lot of noise. He talks ALOT! When he was sick for 2 days, the house was soooo quiet! So yeah, we had a lazy weekend. Was busy waking him up for his medicine and making him food.

Oh a good news though!!! I clinched a big business deal on Saturday! Well, it's a big deal to me. I sold 20 pieces of clothings to a Kenyan girl and we spoke about making her my dealer in Kenya! She's extremely interested in the idea because it complements her jewellery business which she has been running on a very small scale for 4 months now. So I'm crossing my fingers that this move forward will work out. She wants to wait for her items to arrive before we proceed. I mean I totally understand the fact that she needs to see the quality of my products. And next week, I'll be meeting another potential client who also wants to be my dealer in Kenya. Wish me LUCK!

Hello everyone! Anlynn here!

Really sorry that it took me so long to post. I was keeping myself busy with some school activities. Now that my extra-curricular activities have almost ended, I shall have more time to blog here.

I have an idea, but not sure if its going to work out. My idea is to have a live chat here, what do you guys think? It is going to be really hard to fix a time because we have relatives staying in the Australian timezone as well as in the U.S timezone. The best time to hold it should be on a Saturday at about 8p.m Malaysian time. Its good for relatives in Aussie because the next day will not be a working day and it will be Saturday morning in the U.S.

I'm not sure how many uncles, aunties and cousins are reading this blog. Hopefully, this blog will be buzzing soon! :)

Can't wait to see all of you in September!
