Are you a GRUP

Sunday Times published this interesting article about 30/40-somethings living their life similar to the youths half their age. The actual papers even have pictures of the dress sense of the GRUPs...definitely worth a read!

Sipadan Dive Trip

Went for a 4 day trip to Sipadan during my recent trip back home. Wasn't the best of trips, missing out on the hammerheads and barracudas, but overall still a wonderful break and always good to be back down blowing bubbles...Happy diving people!

New Macbooks - Black!

Latest Macbooks, meant to replace the existing product line of iBooks and Powerbooks, with a brand new flavour - BLACK. Absolutely sexy in my opinion, although I should not be surprised if we think back at the iPods that was launched with the U2 edition black as well.
Well, this is certainly tempting for me, although the prices on the US site is the most appealing. Have to make sure I can get one from there in the summer soon...

Upates: Eggs -> Chicks

As expected, the eggs hatched to 2 tiny chicks when we got back from our 2 weeks trip. Mother pigeon has been extremely protective since especially when I try to feed her with bread as she will interpret that gesture by flapping her wings hard to push my hands aside. This picture was only taken after I kinda "chased" the mon away to see the babies.

Actually I do not know if they are male or female. Any of you can provide a hint? Please don't ask me to carry them up to check for any potential "organs" too. ;-)

Name the pigeons!

Several weeks back, I discovered that one of my balcony was starting to have dry twigs accumulating and predicted that there is probably a bird building a nest. And about a week back, there was this big fat pigeon who finally showed up and took declared the nest as her property. Few days back, I noticed that she had laid an egg, and thought I should be nice to feed her with some of my bread for breakfast everyday. 2 days later, out came the second egg! She is still eating the baguette that I have for breakfast everyday although my girlfriend mentioned that I shouldn't be feeding her else she might get used to the feeding and lose her instinct to find food on her own.

But anyways, we are extremely excited about the 2 eggs and can't wait to see them hatch soon. I found that it should take them about 17-19 days to hatch and hopefully, can be back in time from my trip home to see them hatch.

Maybe some of you can suggest some names for them!
