Five things you (probably) didn't know about me
Thanks to Adam for tagging me in this blog memes (like 3 months back, just a day after my delivery :P)
1. I've never seen nor experience falling snow before.
Reasons being that I grew up in tropical country and I visited those countries with 4 seasons in the summer. So I never knew how it felt like in freezing cold weather, but I don't think I'll enjoy that anyway. Was shivering when it's 12 degree celcius in Aberdeen (Scotland) during summertime. To my surprise, those locals were running about in singlets & shorts. Whoa!
Someday, I'll plan a holiday in the winter.
2. I played the piano.
Haven't been touching it for years though, my fingers are not as nimble anymore. And I bet I've forgotten most of the music theories. Well, my dad advised (actually as a complain :P) me not to give your children piano lessons since it's such a waste of money. BUt I think it's not a waste as I know how to appreciate music (eventhough now I enjoy jazz more than classical music)
3. I'm supposed to be a boy, my mom wanted one. But... ta dah! :D
4. My nickname during primary school was xiao(3) ma(2) yi(3) (i.e. lil ant)
I've almost always the shortest & smallest in class for the 6 years. And when I was with my little sister, I hated it when people asked "Who's the elder one?" because she's taller than me... :P
5. I have a driver's license but I haven't driven a car for at least 14 years.
Please remind me to renew my car license in 2009. Thank you.
Okay, now I too have to tag 5 others, they are:

Being A Mom
What is it like being a mother now? That’s the question I get nowadays since my baby arrived last Dec 15th.
Hmm… it’s really indescribable. I know my priorities in life changed, my baby & family comes first… work, hobby etc is taking the backseat. These sacrifices are worth it. And I appreciate my parents more as I know what it’s like being one.
All in all, I feel complete, joy and for the very first time I learn about unconditional love. There’s really nothing that’ll stop me in providing for him, love, care, anything & everything. Even to the length of sacrificing my life.

Goodbye Bloglines, Hello Google Reader
I've changed to use Google Reader to read blog feeds since yesterday. Well, I can say I like the features and it's user friendly.
Some features I like where Bloglines is lacking:
1. It'll mark items as "Read" when you scroll the page down (using the Expanded View). So if you have 10 unread items, and you've scrolled and read through 6, the 4 will remain as unread. Whereas bloglines will mark all as read once you click on the particular feed.
2. I like the labels & stars to organize my reading list.
3. You can also share items with friends. (I still need to check this one out though :)
There are lots of other nice functions, and I'm sure I'll discover more later. People, start exporting your subscriptions and import into Google Reader. It's as easy as 1,2,3! ;)
p/s: If you've done so, you can also click on the "Add to Google" button on my blog to subscribe to my feed. :D
