Time for an upgrade
Posted in Home on July 13, 2006 | Comments Off
The son’s PC finally died 2 days ago. After chugging along for nearly 6 years now, I guess it was time for an upgrade. We bought his original PC back in Nov 2000 and paid about RM1200 for an AMD Duron 600 MHz CPU, 64MB SDRam and Riva TNT-2 AGP 16MB VGA card setup. (we [...]
Of colds and computers

Our house has been chockful of germs of late. I came down with a persistent dry cough and itchy throat 3 weeks back. Just as I was recovering, my son started sniffling but thankfully it was for only 2-3 days. I was a bit suspicious as first as my symptoms were completely different from his, [...]
The Mystery of the Missing Sock
Posted in Home on May 28, 2006 | 3 Comments »
I had a really frustrating time this morning looking for a missing sock. Somewhere between the washing machine and the laundry line, I misplaced my son's sock. Not a major loss I agree, but still I spent quite some time searching high and low for it. The oddest part was that I distinctly remembered putting [...]
Colourful Surprises

This has been a pretty colourful week so far. My first colourful surprise came on Monday, when hubby went to buy a replacement mouse for my son. Seeing that the old mouse had accumulated so many dust bunnies inside, he decided to get him an optical mouse. Well and good except he failed to read [...]
Computer Wars

I've been having an ongoing battle with my son recently over the computer. Nope, I'm not talking about LAN gaming or fighting to use the PC, but rather fighting with him over what he has been doing to his PC. Ever since we started him on the PC more than 10 years now, he has [...]
Freaked out by a Raisin
Posted in Home on April 27, 2006 | 2 Comments »
I staggered sleepily to the kitchen yesterday morning when I was greeted by the sight of a raisin on the floor in front of my fridge. Lest you think I am so obsessive-compulsive as to freak at a mere raisin on the floor, let me remind you that a raisin bears an uncanny resemblance to [...]
Invasion of the Purple Dinosaur

A purple dinosaur has invaded our home and sad to say, I am afraid he is here to stay. Not only did Playhouse Disney Channel change the Wiggles time slot to an impossibly early (6am) or late (11pm) time, but to add insult to injury, they added Barney to the line-up as well. I have [...]
Storm havoc
Posted in Home on March 10, 2006 | 1 Comment »
A freak storm struck SJ yesterday afternoon and lasted only about half-an-hour but was enough to cause widespread damage and havoc. After learning that a few neighbours had some roof damage and water leakage, I found that the roof lining (dunno what it’s called actually) at the back had blown off, and that some water [...]
Blackout
Posted in Home on February 27, 2006 | 1 Comment »
The day started off badly with a blackout this morning around 6.30 am. Tried to call Tenaga but all lines were busy. It wasn’t too widespread though as there was power in other parts of SJ. I always dread power cuts as my son’s daily activites rely heavily on electricity — TV, video, VCD player [...]
