Ah Por and Ah Gong + Wii - Shiok to play

Today we went to visit Ah Por and Ah Gong cos' their death anniversaries are coming soon.

Bought vegetarian bee hoon, dian xin, kueh and fruits for them to makan during the prayer. Gu Gu also made a Fa Gao herself. I think both of them enjoy the food, guts feelings only lah... But I really think they do.

Thereafter, we went to Gu Gu's house for gathering and to finish the prayer food (ha ha we are glutons). Ok lah, it was planned to go there for lunch, which we had at a coffee shop near her house. We had Teochew porridge with veges, meat and fish. Found that I had order too little, so went to another stall to order char siew and roasted pork.

Cousin just bought a Wii player set and we spend most of the time there playing the games. It was very fun, even Father joined in. I lost to him during the boxing match (just can't believe this).

There are a lot of games, we played those that are simple to learn one, such as bowling, table tennis, tennis, boxing and running. Hmm, I am quite amazed with the technology, it actually detect our motion and capture the movements in the games. So when you play bowling, you literally have to bowl, i.e. swing your arms and release the ahem button instead of the ball.

I think I got hooked on this. Am thinking of buying one for the family, then Father won't be addicted to the television (esp the Chinese programmes in SCV like the Zhong Tian Ping Dao), but then he will get hook to the Wii leh... Ai ya difficult difficult. Anyway, haven't buy yet, will see see look look and decide later.

OK, ciao for now. Am going to finish my Star Wars DVD and then sleep. Cos' tomorrow got to work ... sianz.

P/S: All Chinese words are in hanyu pinyin cos' I haven't setup the Chinese language in my new laptop yet. Hee hee ... I know I know... will set up asap. BTW, my new laptop is back. Hard disk error.... they changed a new hard disk. Hopefully, it last.

My NEW laptop crashed!!!

Cry .... sob ... sob!!!

The new ASUS laptop that I purchased 3 months ago crashed this week. Now falling back to my old laptop which I had given to my father while I try to restore the whole PC again. Lucky me, only got some data loss cos' most of my data is still on the old laptop.

Reason: Well ... I itchy hand lor, went to uninstall the Norton Internet Security since it has expired, so that I can download free firewall. Too bad, I made mistake trying to install an old version ZoneAlarm which is not compatible with Vista and it hangs ...

Think I will skip ZoneAlarm and try other firewall software instead. Now, I have to reinstall all the programs and re-discover all my favourites URLs.

Gosh... this is going to take some time. What to do??? Who ask me to itchy hand go and try out new things without backing up my data. Yeah ... the worst thing is that I DID NOT BACKUP my data and this is unforgivable because I am in the IT line and I am suppose to noe backup is impt.

So to all out there --- Please backup your data frequently. Be it a portable disk or CD or DVD, do backup.

OK, ciao .. am going to catch up on my beautiful sleep. Next week is KHCO Performance @ the Esplanade. Will update again (hee hee when I am free)
