computer gender...

i have concluded, a computer is indeed female... it has NO logic watsoever. in fact, it's worse than a woman having pms or menopause... >.<

was on msn and SUDDENLY, my keyboard not working!!!

did the default thing --- restart comp. didn't work...
check control panel/keyboard... no hardware found...
shut down > unplug keyboard > plug in keyboard > restart.. didn't work...
shut down > swop with another usb slot [which turns out to be my wireless modem] > restart... keyboard working! but can't connect to internet -_-"

since all 4 slots are used up, i took one out and plug into the front usb slot.. no idea what was it but it has the longest wire...
plug in modem into tat slot...
restart comp...
still can't connect to internet...

i did the silliest thing.... swop the modem and keyboard [i.e. modem back to its original slot]
restart comp...
and everything works!!! wtf??!!!

seriously, not even the most brilliant IT helpdesk would suggest TAT kinda "solution"... all i can say is i'm just glad i can use my keyboard AND connect to the virtual world now... -_-"

back to school...

well at least tat's wat i look like in domo.. heheee...

wanted to get a female costume in game, either a schoolgal, maid or traditional dress [qi pao]... but the new restriction of perm costumes non-tradeable, i can't get any in game! *sob* yes i'm not abt to spend REAL money on it... plus i can't even access the damn cash shop...

been looking and whining abt it... and one of my guildie gave me one!!! well, not perm but still it's 90days! *grin*

picture time!

discharged! sort of... ...

went for my orthopaedic appt today... good new: i don't have to go back anymore! doc said my back looks like it's recovering BUT as with all back problems, there will be chances tat it will reoccur... now i have an open appt for a year. in case i fall down or back acts up again... CHOY!

so now is just to exercise [intensity to increase SLOWLY]... and not to strain my back... i just did yest by walking too fast and carrying too much files >.<>

v-day special...

yes today is v-day!

surprisingly, office is quiet... the only gal who got a bouquet is single :P

i had a very nice dinner.... with *drumroll* my family!!! we went to the temp market at outram mrt...

1 huge fatty fish head [steamed with bean paste]; the blue plate is yu sheng [raw fish salad]; next to it is stir-fried bittergourd with pork ribs; and the farthest is stir-fried duck feet!! it is REALLY nice... the fish head is *drool* fresh and fatty... yummy!! didn't seems to be enuff tho.. my elder bro ordered a plate of yam cake for us to try... it's soft and u can actually taste the yam! of cos i'm bias, i still think my granny's yam cake is the best :P and we had ordered a plate of veggie and spring onion deer meat... okay tat all TAT, we are full :P

okay i know it's not exactly a "standard" v-day dinner. but hey the food is good! and being able to spend time with my family makes me feel [read this] loved *blush* - a different type of family bonding love...

side note: we saw a couple while at the hawker. the gal was holding a BIG bouquet of roses... erm... if the guy is willing to spend like $100 on roses, why bring the gal to hawker??!! o.O my baby bro said, maybe cos he spent all the $$ on the flowers, no $$ for dinner *evil chuckles*

this cny...

yes, chinese new year has come and gone... well at least the public holidays... this year is thus far the best [for many years].

1st i don't get aunties tat nag at me for babies or wat have you... no awkward qns asked ;) 2nd i don't have to give any ang baos... hahaha... 3rd we actually took some family photos...

picture of our granny with all the grandchildren... 1st time we take this... granny was so happy :D

cny eve and new yr day were spent eating and watching tv/dvd [loads of it]... it's like i'm on a "revenge" for the lack of it at home.. ooh well, wat is holidays for? ;)

make active intestine

yes you read the title correctly...

stumbled upon this sign in a japanese supermarket when out with my glutton friends... we laughed our heads off!

a case of terrible translation...

yes, i have a case of active intestine just now... must be the fried chicken wings rice i had for lunch... >.<

08

08 -- emoticon of wide eyes open mouth....

it's a new year! yes i know i've been neglecting my blog... i blame it on domo hahahhaa....

seriously 07 have been both good and bad. 08 so far? well at the very least i entered into the new year sober! hahaha yes i shocked myself. then again it's cos i have since long not been drinking...

back has been good and bad... not totally recovered but not as bad as it was. next orthopaedic appt on 19th feb, hopefully i'll have good news by then... else, it'll be the costly MRI i might have to do >.<

had my 1st ever allergy rash from FOOD!!! i suspect it was the smoked salmon sandwich i had. rashes and itchy on arms and legs. thank goodness it has cleared!!! and hopefully i've not develop an allergy to seafood. pls god! don't be so cruel, i'm already allergy to oil and chilli -_-"

see this is the reason i've not posted. cos there's mostly the not so happy news.... *sigh*

CNY is coming!!! yeah yeah!!! goodies to look forward to... yes i know i have to slim down... but it's CNY -_-" i want pineapple tarts!!! for the 1st time i don't drag the visitation... well the relatives i'll be seeing know about what happened... less questioning... i just hope they don't keep bugging me to move back or worse offer their places... my uncle already did... sorry, but i enjoy the freedom i'm having now :P
