Mumsgather tagged me on this one. She probably knows how tight I am at the moment 
She wanted to know how I would change my lifestyle with prices rising on just about everything. I must say that she has most things covered so I can only think of a few more things.
1. Spend the barest minimum. Treat every purchase as a luxury unless it is an absolute necessity.
2. Eat out Less. If i have no choice, go to hawker stalls.
2. Store some drinking water in the car.
3. Stop using the air-conditioner. Less use of the car and plan my daily trips in advance.
4. Use windows instead of fan or aircon whenever possible.
5. Shop for groceries only.
6. Car pool. Use bike for short trips.
Spend less time at night spots So, I guess Mrs BB will be getting sick of my presence at home soon enough How would you change your lifestyle?
I tag anybody who would like to take up this tag.
I received this tag from red-hot-mama Lillian. I found it quite fun except that I didn’t realize we have so many fans and air-conditioners all over the place and in all sorts of nooks and corners. But the humble fans are very much in demand and a necessity in our hot climates.
I plant trees to shade the house from the sun. I use black tinted glass to keep out the heat and the glare but a tropical climate is still a tropical climate.
KwangErn is being too kind to tag me… *cough*cough*
Anyways, so here goes…
Things I’m passionate about:
What is passion? Can I sell it? Can I buy it? cough cough **. I think I lost it long time ago…heh heh.
Things I’d Like To Do Before I Die
* Climb Mount Everest, not necessarily to the very top..
* Host Benghui’s wedding reception
* Celebrate 50th anniversary with my wife
* Croak before I get seriously ill.
Things I Say Often
* Cool!
* Awesome!
* Alamak!
* Aduh…
* Come onlah…
Books I’ve Read Recently
None. My reading is almost exclusively online nowadays. Online I read the BBC, Reader’s Digest and Malaysiakini.
But some time ago a friend insisted I read a book called Fruits of Karna by Sudassa Onkom. In it he says that all sentient beings are dependent on their own Karma. It is not my usual read but I wont offend any body.
Songs I Could Listen To Over and Over
Hm, my music taste spins over the years…And I don’t really have any favourites. As a teenager I strummed the guitar, thought it cool to be playing at picnics etc but those days are over. My house sadly is nowadays quite devoid of music. Any music if there is happens to be incidental rather than planned.
Benghui goes to piano lesson once a week as a recreation rather than anything. So I have listed the songs I heard yesterday which I still remember meaning that I do like them to a certain extent. I usually listen to the music while I am driving and unable to do other tasks.
* Josh Groban - You raise me up
* Air Supply - Making love out of nothing at all
* Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton - We’ve got tonight
* Dionne Warwick- Heartbreaker
* Michael Bolton: When a man loves a woman
I do listen to Mandarin and Hockien songs but my computer can’t write Chinese and neither can I so I can’t list them out.
Traits I’m attracted to In My Friends
Traits? Well, I like people who don’t complicate life and don’t carry their emotional garbage with them wherever they go and easy on my ear A better term might be : easy going?

5 People to Tag for This Meme:
Any five people who feel they like to do this meme. Thank you.
For this week’s theme, I chose this pic which I took in Kapit, in the upper reaches of the Rejang River, Sarawak.
Kapit is a very safe place with little crime to speak of. The woman wearing this jewelry was having breakfast with me and I was fascinated by her jewelry. She is a Lions Club member from Kota Kinabalu. She sportingly allowed me to take a pic of her jewelry. I think it fits the theme very well.
Original post and pics of Kapit
Have a nice weekend every body and thanks for visiting my blog
I have been tagged by Rye_urn and I don’t know if mine is the proper way to reply but i will try.
My five all-time favourite movies
1. The Sound of Music…. i love all the gaiety in the film and I absolutely adore Julie Andrews in the opening scene as she sings in the Austrian mountains ..The hills are alive…with the sound of mu… sic……… Christopher Plummer was of course his usual self..wooden but attractive to all the ladies even though the movie is ages ago :). I adore adore adore Julie Andrews even though she is advanced in age now
2. Cinema Paradiso starring Antonella Attili, Enzo Cannarale and Isa Danieli.. It is a film set against post-war poverty. There is something about the role of the projectionist…reminds me of the time when cinema was still relatively new.
3. Superman Returns…starring Kevin Spacey, Brandon Routh and Kate Bosworth..why does anyone love love Superman tales? A need to believe in some super powerful being
4. Return to Me starring David Duchovny and Minnie Driver. David plays a role as a widower who falls in love with Minnie who is the recipient of his dead wife’s heart.
5. Shall We Dance starring my favourite Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere. Jennifer really can move in this movie. Richard Gere’s reaction in this movie when his daughter shouts out his name in the middle of a dance scene is also memorable.
