What Teddy Did.

1.
I've noticed that when The GF is introduced to someone who's read the blog, they usually ask her, "do you know Ted calls you The GF on his blog?" She does know. I've talked with her about this before and she seems okay being referred to by two letters. In any case, it doesn't matter because she won't be called "The GF" on this blog anymore.

2.
It's been a busy April for me! Aprils aren't usually busy months for me. It's my birth month after all, and I celebrate it by donning my sloth suit and sleeping everywhere. Not this year though! This year, instead of hibernating the whole month, I chose instead to get engaged to The Fiancée.

3.
The wedding's in August, folks! It's a small ceremony* so apologies in advance if you don't get invited. (You wouldn't want to go to Kluang anyway.)

4.
I finally got my hands on the complete DVD set of Blackadder which includes all four seasons and Blackadder...Back and Forth! Hurray!

5.
All in all, April has been a good month! May is set to look good too! Spider-man 3! Murakami's After Dark! Yay!

    "In any case, it doesn't matter because she won't be called "The GF" on this blog anymore."

    That did get suspense. Nice twist.

  5. Hehe! Thanks everyone! I'm not sure what to call her on the blog afterwards... maybe I'll just finally call her by name ;)

  7. Congratulations, Ted and ...! (You'd better tell us soon how to call her or you'll be getting all these weird monikers).

    I hope you have a greaaaaat wedding. Any unique plan like what we read in the news? Like going to get the bride in a horse or bullock cart or giving her the ring while skydiving and that sorta thing?

  8. Oh noes! The pressure! I think I'll just call her "L"! :D

    I don't go for flashbang plans like that, and in any case, we're on an extremely limited budget... It's only going to be a simple ceremony so no crazy stunts from me (or her)! teehee!

  9. Ted - tahniah! Just came from a wedding ceremony, a big but thankfully brief affair, and my thought is that wedding ceremonies are just as much for those who attend, as they are for the bride and groom. Am sure yours will be a joyous one - and after all, the hardest work comes after the ceremony and spotlights, and honeymoon! All the best, and God bless!

  10. Thanks, Eliza! Am both dreading and looking forward to the ceremony, spotlights, honeymoon and hard work!

Lesson: Commemorative Covers are Lame.

Well, I got the first day cover that commemorates the 35th anniversary of the establishment diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia that I mentioned a couple of posts ago. Except that it's not a first day cover, it's a commemorative cover, which is a slightly different beast. I guess I should read the news article properly next time! The difference between the two is that first day covers are specially-designed envelopes stuck on with specially-designed stamps, and marked with a specially-designed postmark. A commemorative cover is a specially-designed envelope... and that's it. All in all, it's an unremarkable affair, especially if you're used to well-designed first day covers (not that Malaysian first day covers are well-designed... but I digress). Oh sure, a commemorative cover has a stamp printed right on to it but that's just like an overglorified aerogramme. Lame. On the whole, what a disappointment. I haven't been collecting first day cover

HOWTO: Get Rid of Silverfish

The bane of every book collecting person: the Silverfish. DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!! How to get rid of them? If one book has been infected, place it inside an air-tight plastic bag along with some silica gel desiccant. The silica gel is important to get rid of moisture, because you will now place the sealed plastic bag with the book in it inside the freezer. Leave it in there for a couple of days so that those bugs catch their death of cold. If you're feeling particularly paranoid, (like I usually am) feel free to leave the plastic bag in there for a week. If they're not dead, then you might likely have an infestation of zombie silverfish , which is out of the scope of this blogpost. But what if a whole colony of silverfish decided to invade your whole bookcase? Then you have to make sure you're ready for war. Place a generous amount of silica gel (or if you can find it, diatomaceous earth) behind your books at the back of the shelves so that moisture levels remain low.
