How much $ to give?

As I type, I'm sipping down Norfolk Punch. It's a fruity juice thingy that taste a lot like wine minus the alcohol. Good stuff. Surrounding me is a bunch of titbits, some pineapple tarts, groundnuts cookies, chicken floss, and 'long yoke' (BBQ'ed flatten meat). I wished I had food like this all year round. *slurp*

Soloh picked me up from work again today to head down to Breakers to meet up with the gang. We were very early so we headed to a mamak and had drinks/dinner. I got to know him a lot today, one of those persons that I can have 'what is life' conversation with, without giving lame comments. Sean met up with us and then we headed to Breakers to meet with Jin and Dave.

Didn't play much of anything today. I was kind of tired from office work, only played a round of pool with Kwang. Heh... I have got to practise; I must win next time muahahaha. Anyway, I was actually looking forward to catch up with Gerby, Ngai Yung, Daren and Ven. But I really was falling asleep when they reached.

*yawnnn* I want to sleep, but I can't. I'm so tired but my brain won't rest. Thinking a lot about work, money, life and love. Life cannot be without love, but life cannot be without money. I'm beginning to dislike money. It brings a lot of problems. Sometimes I feel that one day money will take over love. The world is just material. People in love deny it, call me materialistic if you must, but money does play a big part in love. I realised that many arguments in families/relationships reflects back on money. When you have to little of it, people tend to focus on earning money and neglect their other responsibilities in the family. One might even get dumped because he/she is not “rich” enough. When you have too much of money, …wait let me rephrase, when you have more money to spend, 3rd parties (may it be insincere friends, young wives, the ego or etc) will get in the way of a happy family. But I guess that is life, right? Love is the Yin, and money is the Yang. We all should just develop a way to get a balance of both of it… or suppress ourselves with it comes to greed/money.

...work was OK today. I got a new desktop today. From giant white elephant to slim sexy Dell lady. Or in more geeky terms; CRT -> LDC. A P4 with 512 of RAM, but I don't feel the increase of speed, it's all comes down to the network. I wished I dealt with all local servers. Currently, I have to get most of my files from servers in Texas. I want KL servers…sobb sobb. One sad thing about the new PC is that it's still running on NT! ARGH! We were supposed have Win XP but some internal applications will not run on it. Dang. I want to use the Windows+D short cut key but I can't on NT! ^%#&#%(*&%&$%#@ Anyway, I got an invitation to my first wedding luncheon yesterday. Iveen came into the room and passed me a red envelope. I assumed it was a CNY card and thanked her. But I smelt perfume on it and wondered "Har? Got smell? A bit weird" So I opened and had a look at the card. It's not a CNY card but a wedding invitation. I should go and do some PR, but her weeding luncheon happens to be on my Dad's birthday too. Tak tau apa macam lah… got to give wedding ang pow also… again “How much to give?”

Oh yeah... my bro is coming back tomorrow! ...I have not reformat his PC for him...shit
