Cynthia got me the new favour Absolut Apeach. It tasted like any other Absolut Vodka … and always … served chilled right from the freezer.

Of Blue Light and Sunrise
[A]
Fed up with the frequent screen black out and system restart, I opted to do another “mini-upgrade” to my computer. As wise people would say, since you can never locate the exact cause of problem, just keep upgrading and your problem will one day be gone.
So, here was what I did. I added a moderate hard-disk of 300GB with the latest technology that supposed to perform better (the entire system now has 660GB disk space), added a moderate 1GB memory (now 2GB overall), and a brand new casing with additional fans (purchased separately) that suppose to solve my over-heat problem – if that was a problem to start with. Nicely surprised I was, this new casing come with fans that emits blue light (as seen in the picture).
So far so good, I have been loving my computer. But if past experience has one thing to teach me, never say “yay” too early.

A rare occasion required me to wake up at 6 in the morning and indeed it is rare for me to admire the sunrise (middle picture). It was beautiful beyond words. Funny thing is Nature offers us so much that we human beings just keep ignoring it each and every day. Now I have noted down in my to-do list that I wish to see sunset at Santosa. I really do wish … (or Malacca for that matter).
PS. All pictures taken with my N80. (Nokia should pay me for publicity.)

Photos that My Phone N80 has Taken (So Far)
Alright. So I got this cool new phone of mine and I have been taking photographs like no others business. From top left-hand corner clockwise, here we go!
Cynthia and her dessert when we dined at one of the nice restaurant at Millennia Walk. Ah … the German beer, sausage, and lovely dessert. Next is an amazing Latte that Spinelli has offered. At first I was wondering why he took so long to make my Latte and now I know. See that lovely lady? Well, we were on a boat ride to one of the military sites and I thought the image is pretty crisp clear. Next, back in the office, that is my guitarist of my band Jason and the ex-member Jeremy who was playing the guitar when the photo was taken. Last, was that a beach resort that I have visited while my wife was away? Not at all! My client site that is.

To the Attic
In my own home, I chanced upon one of my oldest diaries that has one of Robert Doisneau’s famous photos as the cover (see the picture). Reading what I have written 16 years ago, it was a surreal experience. I kept asking myself: was I there? Did it really happen? Who was that girl? The passion that I had was just overwhelming. Skipping through the pages, I had the desire to recover my 2nd diary (that comes with a lock by the way). I am lucky to have found the “lost” diary and of course, the key to the diary was long lost. But that didn’t stop me from reading what I have written 15 years ago.
Looking back, I think writing diary is a good habit and I think technology has somewhat “murdered” this good old fashion habit. Nothing beats pen and paper when it comes down to diary. I think I should start writing diary again. What I have written 16 years ago, I can still retrieve and read. What I have written in the website or in all these electronic documents, I doubt if I can retrieve them 16 years later. That applies to the photographs we take as well. Have them printed and not just in electronic forms.
Alright, two more items added to my shopping list: a diary and a photo printer.

I Googled Myself
Out of boredom, I typed in “Wilfrid Wong” in Google and see what it came out. Not surprised not surprised, this website came up as the first item (Yay?). Surprised surprised, my product rating and comments at Amazon.com has come up as well (Wow?).
My first phone was the Erisson 688 (96-00). My second phone was Nokia 8-series (00-06). Finally I have waited long for this N80 phone. At times I am amazed by my own patience. Seriously …

A New Song!
I wanted to write a fast tempo song began with the word “Forever” and after sending Cynthia off to the airport, I set up my home studio and got the new song “Chasing Forever” going. I love to write songs.
Happy with the General Election reasult. Happy that Katherine will stay in American Idol for a couple of round. I mean, if she doesn’t screw up (she has a tendency to do as as I don’t think she really works well under stress), in a contest of 3 guys and 1 girl, she can easily land herself to the final. Just my thought.

Such a sad day!
After a long day from work, I rewinded my tape and watched the American Idol. My favourite Katherine McPhee I thought did really well with stage presence and all. But the words from the judges were so harsh that broke my heart.
However, if to look at the overall performance of all the contestants, Eliot Yamin’s performance was the best I have to say. I really hope that Katherine won’t be voted out.
During the show, I especially love a quote by Andrea Bocelli – “To be great, it is destiny”.

Good Friday and I am Sick
Feeling sick 2 days ago but yesterday I needed to go to work because one of the clients called for emergency meeting in the morning. This morning, I got up early to send Cynthia to the airport and immediately I went to see my doctor. Okay, nothing serious – a flu – but what a timing! I don’t even benefit from it (read: medical certificate for one day off)!
One week completely off from online gaming so far! Yay! I actually have so much free time to do so many things.

Once Again I Washed My Car
Trade in my 5 years old car with a new one. Today, I have resumed the weekend ritual of car washing. For three dollar, I could have washed my car at the petrol station nearby. No, I dislike the poor quality of work so I have decided to DIY. Today is my first wash of many and I was still filled with excitment. In time to come, I bet I would be like years ago, consoling myself that I only have the chance of washing my car 520 times (52 weeks in a year and in Singapore, I can only keep a car for 10 years).
