It was on a hill called Mount Martha where they had a lot of really nice houses in this really nice residential area. The houses on the hill overlooked the sea down below.

If you want to know a bit more about what it is and how I got it, check out my previous blog entries here, here and here. In a nutshell though I got it more than two years ago when I happened to injure by cornea by scratching my eyes hard one morning.

You see it all started when I saw for the first time an iPad. Our Nuffnang Australia office has one so I was playing around with it yesterday. It was cool and all but in 5 minutes it went from everybody crowding around wanting to play with it to being left on the table alone doing nothing.The conclusion was...

Ming has been a great friend and business partner to me so this year I wanted to give him something special for his birthday. I initially had something else in mind until Pierre called me one day and mooted an idea.
You see... Ming's the kind of guy who puts a lot of value in experiences. More value in experiences than in physical items.

It did however come to My Hello Kitty as one.She grumbled at the sound of her Blackberry alarm ringing away... crawled to her phone and put it on snooze.
