since lack of updates, perhaps it is time to announce what kept us busy :)

besides work, there are a few things happening or added to our already-considered-big-collection-of stuffs at home. But i think most of them are useful and shall serve us well. Since before christmas, we have got ourselves a nice philips food processor - it does almost everything a food processor should do - slicing, chopping, grinding, shredding, pureeing, mixing, kneading and ice crushing. ok, ice crushing was a little dissapointing, but heck i don need that so often anyway. Many things can be now done much faster than before. I have been baking bread since then too! so consider the food processor our good friend now in kitchen.

To keep up with our figure, we have decided to do a little more sport when we can. Result - a bicycle trainer device. It was pretty a good buy from Ebay, got it off for 35Euro. Not that we have done a lot, but do expect that we will learn to discipline ourselves in doing more sport in coming days. Perhaps this year we can join the CityLauf again ;) who knows.

Last to the list is a little dream hobby of mine - a dSLR. After seeing the plunge of the price of some dSLR, i have decided to make the plunge too :P got myself a cheap Olympus E-410, and am happy with it. It is of course not as comparable to a Nikon or Canon, but with the price i have paid for a dual kit lens set, i think that is what i need now to make photos. Cy told me it is the skills that make the photos look nice, and i of course agree with it. Shall learn not to complain and envy newer models, and will try to make decent photos out of it when there are opportunities. Good thing i am far too busy with many things, so i will just play with it occasionally... and its first contribution was to record down a chamber music group press event and little Tabitha's baptism :)

This year will be busy. CNY even went by quietly without us feeling it. We need to put ourselves together to make progress for our research work, while handling other things - church, bible study group, choir(s), friends and family. With His grace we will make it. Readjustmens will be needed, especially when we are no longer so young and energetic :)
