Recovering from the move

The mover was supposed to come on Saturday at 5.00 p.m to move the rest of the stuffs. When I called at 4.30 p.m, they were still 50 miles away and was on their way to rush back. They said they were going to be late. Pengsan! I was going to meet the Malaccan super mummies at 6.30p.m. There was no way I was going to make it if I waited for the mover to arrive. So, I told the mover to reschedule it to Sunday. I am glad I did, else I wouldn’t be able to meet the super mummies.

I was so exhausted unpacking stuffs, reorganizing the closets, clearing the messes, no energy to blog about the meeting yet. I took a long nap this afternoon and sort of recovered from the exhaustion.

And, these are corners that still waiting to be cleared.

I brought back the metal cabinet to set up a home office.

Moving the mess 1

Just in case you are curious why I am moving and where to. I am moving the stuffs back to our house. In the past two years, we (more like I have been, since hubby hasn’t been around for almost a year) have been staying on the second floor of the premises that housed the preschool. I am moving the stuffs back to our house that has been vacant and neglected for two years. I will be working from home mostly and teach part time at the ground floor of the same premises since we have sold the first floor.

Meeting Russian girls

A friend of ours is married to a Russian girl and he met her through a dating site. According to him, many men in America meet their Russian bribes on this dating site. I asked him why he wants to marry a Russian girl. He told me that they are beautiful and they are not as spoiled as American women. Well, that’s an honest answer from an honest man.:-)

Seriously, the Russian girls are really beautiful, they are usually tall and slim, I have not seen any fat or short Russian girls so far. Sometime I wonder should my my friend who is single in his 40s try his luck with the Russian girls. (Ok, call me busy body) He learned Russian in college and can still speak a little. So, communication should be easier and he would brush up his Russian in no time if romance blooms.:-)

Bloggers meet

Chinnee is getting us to meet downtown Malacca this Saturday, if you happened to be in town and would like to meet us, do drop me a note. I would let you know the venue and time once it’s confirmed.

I would join the gathering but may run late as the movers are coming over to finish up the other half of the moving . If they come on time, I should be able to leave on time, but you never know!

Monitor Driving Safety

How cool is this? An Internet start-up company in Silicon Valley- GreenRoad has developed a technology that measures driving safety. The technology includes fixing a gadget in the car that can detect and collect driving patterns. The data is then transmitted to an Internet site that allows the drivers to see where they need to improve.

The target groups for this product are the commercial drivers and insurance companies that insure teenage drivers. The company claimed that the technology has lowered the accident rates of its customers by 54%. Since statistics show that car accidents are the leading cause of death for teenagers, and commercial drivers have accident rates that average 20% a year, so this technology is able to improve safety as well as saving lives.

Mover till hasn’t showed up

The mover had an appointment with me at 5.00p.m, it’s 6.15 p.m now, hasn’t shown up yet! I called twice just now, these people are terrible with keeping time. The person whom I talked to on the phone so blur, he thought it’s tomorrow, so he is looking for helpers after I called him just now. They were recommended by my next door neighbor, I hope they will show up!
