Our Study Room

JS's side of the study room
the study table stretches from one end to the other

as chinese feng shui said...Male on the left, Female on the right
so everything applies from wardrobe to which side of the bed we sleep on
oh yea also sofa seating...
call us chinaman :P

U lurve the view?
sometimes I'll just dazzle and let my mind wonder into the greenery
and feeds my need for laughter looking at golfers down at Hole 18 trying very very hard
to hit this par 5....kekekke
most of the time they ended up on the pond or bunker...and also on the buggy track
everywhere but nowhere on the fairway

yea why never show Monkey's side of workstation?

coz it's too messy
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *sheepish smile*

hey dun forget I'm the one doin filing at home so tonnes of paperworks and bills on my side
and also my cups and my cameras and stuffs and chargers and accessories :P
non related accessories such as hair clips
and loads of books and magazines

looks like JS's is very neat huh?

:P pppppfffffttttttttttttttt
when I have time to kill *like when I was sick*
I'll snap pics of parts of our home for u guys
and I know I know...I still owe so many ppl the pics of the wardrobe
think it's getting so FULL *and messy of coz* now, again I am shy to show u :P

heeeeeee
lastly thank u for all the well wishes...
I'm still recovering and on medication but am back kickin asses at work!!!

Angry Pianist

I dun get the time nor pleasure to lay my fingers on the lovely piano all the time

don't know why life has bcome so FAST and BUSY

getting sufficient sleep is a CHORE

I dun enjoy zzzzz anymore

*signs of aging*

alwiz worrying bout unfinished stuffs

well work never ends

and all the appointments plus events

years ago, events used to be a novelty

now I have headache finding wat to wear and which accessories to match it with

plus personal events that I must attend to otherwise I'll feel very guilty

fr birthdays to weddings and anniversaries....

well these should be joyous events so no complains :))))

and so when I DO have the time and pleasure to play the piano

this is how I looked like

Like wanna murder the piano :P

JS no likey...coz he was trying to enjoy every single piece

and all sounded like I wanted to go to WAR

I dun believe it until JS took pics last weekend

haiiiizzzzzzz

this one is face problem...nothing to do with mood.

yea dearie JS...I lurve the piano...coz u bought it for my birthday last year :))))

let me retire and I shall play u more nice pieces :))))))

so for now u'll hear more noise pollution...

wakakakakkakakaka

sigh....been sick for Day 2...

need fast recovery like instantly

everyone's been chasing stuffs fr me....

again Work never finishes...

sigh........

Aeron Chairs, Herman Miller

American Idol fever is here again.....not that we are fans...
just so happen to browse channel and something caught my eyes
O_O

isn't those Herman Miller chairs that JLO, Steve & Randy were sitting on????
*the very same chairs go on tour with them from San Diego to New York*

from the Aeron collection, designed by Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf
it is a revolution for office chairs

Monkey & JS got 2 at home....in our study.
I m currently sitting on size S and his size M
but actually size M kinda comfy...shows I have got BIG BUMS
hehehehehehe

sometimes I'll just steal his Herman Miller to use...esp when he's not at home
and never put it back at his work station....and pretended nothing happened until....
"hey....this isn't my Herman Miller????? Gimme back"

but it didn't stop there...it got worse..
now Monkey is sitting on his work desk..on his Herman Miller.....using his station...and iMac
while Mr. JS got relegated to Monkey's Macbook Pro and my size S Herman Miller
heeeeeeeeeeeeee :)))))))))))))

the design is truly clever and ergonomics
with no padding at all
it has got to be the most comfortable office chairs EVER!!!!!!

it can bend, adjustable without efforts, fits ur body like a gloves
coz according to its designers....human body is not a straight lines
it is BIOMORPHIC
so truly....u can't find a single straight line on this chair

with years of R&D on pressure mapping, aeration of air and moisture
movements, dimensions and best of all
it LOOKS GOOD :D
hiak hiak hiak

and it is environmental friendly....used the least resources to manufacture and design
94% recyclable
as they said it...even though it is BLACK but it is GREEN!!!!

Herman Miller is distributed by Xtra Furniture in Malaysia
go get yours now :)))))) before another price increase :D
