Even Laptop go on Diet

Steve Jobs announced a new addition to the MAC family.

and this MAC won't make you FAT unlike Big Macs. Unveiling the MAC book Air. Goto apple.com to see more of it's features. Some key features, 1.3 Kg, thin, wide screen, multi-touch pad, etc.

I'm neither a MAC user nor a FAN, but this is way cool. But its heavy on the price.

So..souplad, even laptops go on diet, so should you.

Thrifty, Frugal, Provident, Sparing, Parsimonious, Stingy, Miserly

Thrifty, Frugal, Provident, Sparing, Parsimonious, Stingy, Miserly , all these meant the same thing , but describe different behaviours.

And excerpt from a online article i read recently explains all that.

" The English language is rich with words to describe personal economic behavior. There are words people use when they're happy that you're not spending too much: thrifty, frugal, provident. There are words people use when they're not so sure: sparing, parsimonious. These are the words people use when they're unhappy that you're not spending more: stingy and miserly.

The fact is, though, that these words work pretty well for marking the dividing line between normal behavior and crazy behavior."

Ushering in 2008 with High Society

two zero zero eight is here.

Macroly what I've known so far,

...its a election year for US and for Malaysia. Its a China Olympic year.Its the year of the RAT. Its a bad year for whose zodiac signage is Horse. The US subprime issue continue to haunt the global markets. Its a Euro Cup year. It is a leap year.

As for me, life still goes on.

known little to all, I have a resolute blog in which I pen my resolution yearly. Gladly I have achieved 80% of my 2007 resolutions. 2008 ones are going to be tougher but similar.

to my friends/readers , please challenge me for new additional resolutions. give me fresh new ideas.

My NYE was spent with friends from my hometown, friends whom i grew up with, and girlfriend. We had a simple cold storage dinner followed by Sake, Good Wine ( Wolfblass Cab Sav 2006), Alize Passion. We watched Sex and the city and i lost 10 dollars in BlackJack. All this with songs in the background compiled by High Society. Wonderful Songs.

I almost broke my 2007 resolution by drinking more than 5 drinks, but i realised, its mignight...into 2008..so it does not count.

Another year herein.
