IT Tech Support

I got this from my email:

Dear IT Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower, gifts and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable programs such as Formula One 5.0, NBA 3.0 and World Cup 2.0.

And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate Housewife

Dear Desperate Housewife,

First keep in mind:

Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Try entering the command C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and download Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0.

If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Late Night Teh Tarik 6.1.

Late Night 6.1 is a very bad program that will create SnoringLoudly.wav files.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-Law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.

You might consider additional software to improve memory and performance. I personally recommend Hot Tasty Food 3.0 and Tongkat Ali 6.9.

Good Luck,
IT Support


Funny or not? Yeah, I know, some of you might have heard it but, please la, someone might not have heard it ma. hahaha. Furthermore, I dunno what to write. Bear with me okay. hahaha.

Random craps!!!

First and foremost, I want to take this opportunity to thank YY for the porkie. It has been like 11 days since I last eat any meat hehehe. Thanks for the special post. I like it very much and appreciate it. It made me feel bad also, since I did not do something similar when she was very sick.

Okay, back to my randomness. I'm just going to show some random pictures I took last Sunday. First up is this Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream Mooncake which I bought for my gf to try it together. We bought the chocolate one. One Mooncake costs RM33.



Next up is a brand new pair of shoes I bought on Sunday. It's Dr. Cardin's leather shoes.




I like this pattern at the side of both shoes.

The sole of the shoe, looks like wood.



Finally, can you guess what this is? Hehehe.


It's actually the UMD disk reader from the PSP. Luckily, it's not mine. It's from my colleague's PSP as I helped him to send it (the PSP) to repair/change a new one as the lens is spoilt. This thing costs about RM200 to RM 220. Okay, that's all for now. Sleepy r.

The fifth day...

Today is the fifth day. Fifth day of what? That's what I am about to blog about. It just seems that the more doctors I see, the more restrictions there are for me. Yeah, it's about the gout I am having. I have been wearing slippers to work for more than a month now. Although I felt better after going to HUKM and resting for one whole week last time, the swelling doesn't seems to be totally gone and there will always be a small bump/swelling on my foot.

Last Wednesday, it seems to be swelling up again and it's painful for me to walk around although it is WAY not as painful as when it first attacks. At least I still can walk around and drive to work. As advised by the BP lab doctor when I got my second jab for Hepatitis A and B immunity, my mother took me to the Cheras Pantai Hospital for an X-ray. The swelling on my foot has got a promotion. From 'suspected gout' to 'most likely gout'. I was even told that if it is not got, it will be another type of gout or arthritis.

Then I was told to go on a diet of only fruits and vegetables. The first few doctors just mentioned that I should not take food with high level of uric acid (red meat, strawberry, beans, seafood, etc.). This doctor I am seeing, he has even restricted me from eating any protein. No milk, no fish, no eggs and all the likes. Just plain fruits and vegetables. So, there you have it, today is the fifth day I am on a vege and fruits diet. Even yesterday night when my gf and me went to have the RM 2 per plate of sushi, I just ate some vege sushi, 2 (piece) ebiko, 2 kanimayo, 2 salmon sushi and 1 tuna sushi (At first, my gf doesn't even allow me to eat sushi but she gave in in the end. ). Then I just watched my gf eat all the nice nice sushi. Since she do not want to eat too much rice, I ate the rice (dipped with wasabi) while she eat the seafood on top of the rice. Hahaha.

Another thing i am concerned about is the medicines I am taking. Both of the prescribed medicines have been given to me by the previous doctors althouh they gave more types of medicine. One of it is given by the BP lab doctor while another one is given by the HUKM doctor but the Pantai Hospital's doctor gave me a higher dosage. I was given Colchicine and Meloxicam which has some adverse effect on the body.

The first one is about Colchicine.
Colchicine is a highly poisonous alkaloid, originally extracted from plants of the genus Colchicum (Autumn crocus, also known as the "Meadow saffron"). Originally used to treat rheumatic complaints and especially gout.

Side Effects
Side effects include gastro-intestinal upset and neutropenia. High doses can also damage bone marrow and lead to anemia. Note that all of these side effects can result from hyper-inhibition of mitosis.

Toxicity
Colchicine poisoning has been compared to arsenic poisoning: symptoms start 2 to 5 hours after the toxic dose has been ingested and include burning in the mouth and throat, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and kidney failure. Death from respiratory failure can follow. There is no specific antidote for colchicine, although various treatments do exist.

More readings here. On a side note, the HUKM doctor has told me that I should stop taking the Colchicine when i have diarrhea but the Pharmacist and Doctor (The doctor is a nice guy and also quite young. so, I guessed maybe he forgot) from the Pantai Hospital failed to tell me that I should stop the medication when I have diarrhea. Yesterday, I had diarrhea 4 times, felt like vomiting and I had headache for the whole of yesterdat right until now. It is only after checking Wikipedia that I remembered the HUKM doctor's advice and stopped the medication. I hope I don't die.

The second one is Meloxicam (aka Mobic)
Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to relieve the symptoms of arthritis, primary dysmenorrhea, fever; and as an analgesic, especially where there is an inflammatory component. It is closely related to piroxicam.
In Europe it is marketed under the brand names Movalis, Melox, and Recoxa. In North America it is generally marketed under the brand name Mobic.

Adverse Effect
Meloxicam use can result in gastrointestinal toxicity and bleeding, tinnitus, headache, rash, very dark or black stool (sign of intestinal bleeding). The risk of adverse side effects is lower than with piroxicam, diclofenac, or naproxen. Although meloxicam does inhibit thromboxane A, it does not appear to do so at levels that would interfere with platelet function.
In rare situations, it could cause serious liver disease. If there is a sensation of fatigue and/or liver pain, intake must be ceased.

More about Mobic here. The Mobic will cause you to feel very sleepy and it is so damn hard to fight the urge to sleep while at work.

I just felt as if I am taking poison whenever I am taking those medicines. All the side effects just to cure the pain caused by the gout. If given a choice. I would prefer not to take any of those medicines. I just do not like the idea of having those in my system/body. I do not want to rely on medicines. I do not even want to take Panadol when I have headache. Oh, both medicines are "Controlled Medicine". Hmmm, can I kill someone if I pop all 30 plus tablets of Colchicine I have into their mouth/drinks/body at one go? (Take note, this is just a joke, I don't do such things. Don't call the police).

Haiz, I do not know how long I can stand eating just vegetables and fruits. If I do not get better after one week, I will have to extend the diet for another week. I get hungry about 1 1/2 hours after having each meal. Haiz.... Back to work. Take care everyone.

I've tried it...

Okay, ever since I say this post from angie's blog, I have been craving to try this one out and I have finally been able to try this out yesterday with my gf. What is it? Here, let the pics do the talking. Hahaha.
Wahaha, yes it is the BIG APPLE DONUTS & COFFEE but not the one located at the Curve but the new one located at the new Tesco Cheras.

If you buy individually, it will cost RM 2 per piece. If you buy 6, I forgot how much it is but I bought 12 at the price of RM 17 as opposed to RM 17.50 which angie wrote in her blog. New pricing? I do not know.

I din get to try the Durian one. It's sold out. Out of so many donuts sold in Malaysia, I feel that this is one of the best so far. It is very soft and yummy. Furthermore, most of it are 'fruits' type. Not too artificial and I don't get too full just by eating one. I recommend you all to give it a try.

There is one complain though. It's when I ordered a Caramel Latte. The case is when I was waiting for my drink, there is a woman in front of me waiting for her drinks. Then when all her drinks are done she suddenly asked the woman making the drinks "Can I order One More Cappucino". The Barista (by the look of it, she is the higher post person) making the drink then said "Can, you just have to pay again" and proceeded to make a cup of drink.

When it was done, I thought that it was mine but I only got to know that it was meant for the woman in front of me. I was a bit disappointed with such service, I feel that she should at least notify me that she is gonna make the drink for the woman first. I have been waiting quite long there. Even the guy serving me felt that I should get my drinks first.

Just a random picture. This is my 'older' hamster.

This is a newer one but both are more than 1 years old. Hehehe. Cute or not?

Another random picture, has been quite some time since I last saw a rainbow.

Could it be...

Just a quickie on a Wednesday since I can't upload pictures in the office as I did not bring the cable for my handphone. It seems that a lot of people has been sick for the past few weeks. Let me name a few, my gf's sister, a few of my friends, huei, thiamhin, my colleagues, my colleague's children and also yours truly. Hmmm, why is it these few weeks? Could it be:

The Hungry Ghost Festival/Month!!!

Wahahahaha. I heard it from the radio that the Hungry Ghost Festival this year is worse than usual. (They call it even more 'Mang' in cantonese). Wahaha. Don't call me superstitious. It's just a thought. Anyway, everybody, please take care of your health.

How I spent my long weekend

Whoa, I have not been updating my blog for one whole week. Hahaha. Has been busy and a bit exhausted. I have been updating my blog lesser and lesser by the days. I remember when I started this blog, I have been posting 2-3 posts a day, then it has become 1 post per day. Later one, 1 post every 2 days and the latest is every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It just seems that I have lesser and lesser stuffs to crap about.

Actually I have, I have about dozens of Coke I have not posted, quite a few games I have completed and quite a few events happening in my life. It's just that it involved a lot of pictures and my sucky Maxis 3G that turns out to be only GPRS makes uploading pictures damn hard. But for the past one week, I have been a bit busy and also a bit exhausted + not feeling well. That is why I did not update my blog for the whole of last week. But hopefully, I am back.

What I am going to blog about today is about my long weekend. From Thursday to yesterday. But actually, nothing much happens also. Hahaha. Okay, as you all know, Thursday is the eve of our country's Merdeka day. How did u guys celebrate?

For me, I celebrate it with my gf at the General Hospital in Jalan Tun Razak. This is due to her little sister being hospitalized there. She is worried about her sister and what is more important than to alleviate her worries? So, I sent her there and we spent our time at the hospital until about 12 something that night. Her sister's condition started from Measles but she soon developed high fever (From the records, the highest she got is 39.5 degree Celsius) and leg muscle pain (painful when she tried to walk). They were scared that she have Denggi so they admitted her. Damn tired when I reached home.

I woke up at around 10 something on Friday. Did nothing much actually. All I did was stay in my room and finish off my games. So far, on that day, I managed to play until Solidus Snake for Metal Gear Solid 2 (PC version) and finished off Onimusha 3 (PC version). Then I tried to finish the whole Onimusha 3 Game without saving but heartache, just when I was at the second last scene, the game hang and terminated. 3 hours wasted just like that. I think it is because I opened up too many programs (MSN, Firefox, Photoshop, WMP). Frustrated, I went to read manga and slept after my gf called me. Oh, before that, I did go to the pasar malam and left the game running. Maybe that's y it hanged also.

On Saturday, It is my turn to be sick. I woke up at 10 something with a very painful headache. I thought that it was like usual (I am hungry), so I went to have a bite, but the pain is still there. I did not eat any panadol and I spent the whole afternoon on the bed either sleeping or reading manga and comics. I did not even reply any msn messages (sorry). I felt better in the evening although the headache is still there. So, I tried to finish off the Onimusha 3 without saving and dying again and this time, the game hang and terminated at the third last scene....what the heck. Few hours wasted again. My mother bought McD for supper and my gf called at around 12 am. Since I slept for the whole afternoon and also because of my headache, I can't sleep. I ended up sleeping at 5 am. All I did was to tidy up my room a bit and also deleting unwanted emails in my Yahoo mailbox (I have 1500 unread emails in there).

Yesterday, I woke up at 10 am, prepared myself and went to fetch my gf at around 11.30am. After that I went to BP lab again. This time, to have my second shot for the hepatitis A and hepatitis B immunisation. The doctor asked about my swollen foot and was a bit shocked that it is still swollen. he recommended me to go for an X-ray to check what is wrong. After getting jabbed, we went to have lunch at Wong Kok Char Chan Teng at Leisure Mall. Then we went to the General Hospital to visit her sister after buying food for her mother and sister. When we reached there, it is about 2.30pm.

Her sister's condition is a lot better as her measles are gone and she can at least walk around but her fever is still very high. It is on and off. At 8am on that day, her temperature shot up to 39.5 again. luckily, it went down after that. By the time we reached there, my gf's brother was there but he left soon after that. At around 3 something, my gf's sister, aunty and her cousins came to visit. They soon left at around 6 something. We left the hospital at around 7.30pm. We went back to my house for dinner and after that we played with my sister and later on watched 'Heart of Greed". At around 12am. I sent her home. Damn sleepy and tired when I reached home. This time, Celcom played around with me. Seems that there is no network at that time and I can't go to sleep coz I need to call my gf that I have safely reached home after sending her home as I know that she will be worried. After spending 1 hour to try and call/SMS her, I gave up and went to sleep as my eyes cant open anymore. Woke up at 8.10am this morning and here I am, blogging in the office about my long weekend. Hahaha. So, how is your weekend?
