Electronic Health Machines

A new centre dealing in electrostimulation machines has set up near my place. It operates machines that promote circulation in your body. All one needs to do is to place their feet on it for half hour and some have claimed significantly increased health benefits as a result. I've been giving it a try as they are running free trials for the first 15 sessions. I'll post more if it works on my bad circulation!

Really Strange Colleague

One of my colleagues is really odd. His shoe sole came off yesterday and when my other colleague asked when he'll be buying a new pair of shoes, he said he was on an austerity drive. That really surprised us as he actually comes from a wealthy family. Even odder was his reply when we asked why he was on an austerity drive - just for the sake of it! Gosh, even if you are on an austerity drive, there comes a time when shoes need to be changed because nothing lasts forever! And worse, we weren't even asking him to buy an expensive shoe like mbt shoes! He's really quite strange and funny at times.

Resume Update

I've just updated my resume and believe there are still lots of improvements I can make to it. It does seem a little too long and I believe I should cut it down further as ideal resumes are only two to three pages long especially if one is planning to go for management jobs where recruiters may not have much time to read a detailed resume. I think I need much further work on it tonight before I finalise and send it out to the head hunters.

Another Short Break

I'm off again for a little holiday this Friday to join DH in Bangkok and then take a short break in Phuket. I'm there for a particular reason but am also looking forward to checking out the fashion warehouses in Pratunam. They have great looking dresses and women's apparel for a song and will even slash the prices further if you buy more than 3 pieces of apparel! In preparation for that trip, I've been good and have hardly looked at any apparel shops here as I know they will be much cheaper in Bangkok! Can't wait! Hopefully we have quite a bit of time to do some shopping!

Camping in Winter

We were in Europe two weeks ago for a holiday and while I thoroughly enjoyed it, I found the weather really cold and miserable, especially in Edinburgh! I can't imagine how people there can consider outdoor activities such as camping in that sort of weather! Then again, the Western countries have great high quality camping gear such as GoLite Sleeping Bags which have specially made bags for negative degree weather. Would you consider camping in those conditions? Certainly not me! Give me a warm room and proper bathroom anyday!

Lovely Jewelry

I was having lunch today with my colleagues when I realised one of them was wearing a really lovely pair of diamond stud earrings. They were huge, at least 0.5 carats each and looked absolutely beautiful, sparkling away with each ray of light that caught on them. They looked very simple but I believe must have cost a fortune because no diamond of that size and beauty can be so cheap! Some women have really beautiful jewelry pieces.

Science Jobs

There was a time when science jobs were hugely popular and parents all over were encouraging their children to do science. Now, science seems to have lost its popularity somewhat in this digital age with IT related jobs and entrepreneurial jobs taking centre stage. Someday when this whole internet boom has died down, people might find that basics are still best and start going back to traditional but stable jobs like science and law!
