summation


As my final entry for 2006, it seems fitting to look back on the year and reflect on all the significant moments and achievements. It's definitely been a year to remember for me. A year full of scenic beauty, and carnivorous intake, and marked by moments of joy and some pain.

We saw the coming and going of two puppies, Chanel No. 1 and Chanel No. 2. The emotional impact of their brief stays in our home has not quite faded. In the end we decided raising a puppy was not for us, but we have found some more simplistic companionship in our betta fish Spencer.

2006 saw the arrival of my fabulous silver steed, the Lexus IS350. It also seemed to mark a period of conspicuous technological consumption, as I moved to upgrade my life in other aspects of technology, such as a new mobile phone. On my list of cool gadgets though the biggest coup has to be my honey V getting her hands on a Playstation 3 before Christmas.

In my moments of leisure I had the opportunity to have some fun on the road and at the track. My vacations also embraced a disturbingly indulgent pattern of stuffing myself silly.

For our family, the most significant event of 2006 would be the addition of a new member -- little baby N. His arrival brings smiles and happiness to all who surround him.

All in all, it was a very good year. Would I change anything? Not a damn thing. But I have a feeling 2007 will be even better.

Happy New Year everyone!

The cost of gas is continuously fluctuating. Most times, its sky higher!

Here are some tips for you to conserve gas.

1. Tune up your car always. Poor operating condition eats up much more gasoline.

2. Plan your route forward of time. This avoids taking unnecessary driving.

3. Use your aircon sparingly. You can flip the aircon on to get a couple of minutes then turn it off
and allow the fan circulate the cool air within the automobile. Do not open the windows whenever you aircon is on.

4. Keep the windows closed when travelling at high pace for much less air friction.
Open windows drag the speed and lower gas mileage.

5. Don't idle your engine for long periods of time.

6. Do not travel at quick speeds in low gears unless you need the compression to slow down.

7. Attempt driving on allowed pace restrict.

8. Don't rev the engine when not essential.

9. When the price for gasoline is high, do not fill up. Wait until it goes down.
You do not want to give an impression to oil companies that you're willing to pay for gas at any price.

10. Finally, purchase autos that have good gasoline mileage.

11. Don't forget to cover your automobile.
