Improvement programme.

Feeling lazy in my holiday...

Done nothing lately but to meet some friends and family members...

Enjoyed one fine afternoon with Sally for High tea in an unusual but lovely place...

Kevin is back from Australia again... It's always great meeting him.

My cousin Janice is back for her Easter holiday and both grandma and granddad are doing fine lately.... it's really been some time since i felt so comfortable and cozy at home~

Love working at night... that's the time when you can think undisturbed and have a quiet environment.... just found out that i got the potential to be a good handyman.... on my stay in granny's place, i've fixed the windows, the door and the cupboard for them.... the repair might not be perfect, but using resources you found at home to fix those things give me a feel-good feeling, and it's a great challenge too.... just hope that those things can last long~

Had spent the last couple of days tuning up my computer, it's now good as new..... installed the new Windows and upgraded several component (sound card in particular as the new windows do not have the driver for my obsolete sound card any more....), also bought myself a new printer, this shall help in the revision and my work.... it's really hard time doing all the installation again, especially adapting to the new interface of Windows Vista.... took me quite a while to get familiar with the new command... but the Vista is much better than the previous version of Windows, at least in terms of performance..... no more annoying beep and blue screen from clashes in Windows 95, the system is stable for most of the time and with better protection (though the speed is compromised.... is my computer really that bad??) The interface looks nice as well... but i'd recommend you to hold your plans for upgrade till a bit later, when they've finished all the update in drivers and softwares... for now, i still cant get my Outlook running on my computer yet...

[Just a little side-track here: This Window Vista is claimed to be the best protected Windows ever.... but still, they're nothing more than a bunch of codes written by human.... As long as some people can write it.... there exist people who can crack it..... let's see who can finally win this tug-of-war game....]

Enjoyed a few movies lately.... i've watched those movie at least once before, but everytime when i view it again i felt differently.

"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", finally can realize the whole story... Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet are great (expecting the new show of Jim, the "13").... unexpectedly found out that the pretty girl playing "Mary, the receptionist of Lacunar" is actually Kristen Dunst..... that still dont ring a bell??? How about the Spider Girl? No wonder she look so familiar to me.... (PS. Eijah Wood is playing in this movie too, in case you dont know)

"Armageddon", This is one of my all time favourite.... its heroism and Americanism excluded, really a star studded movie, apart from Bruce Willis, Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck, the unexpected cast also include Owen Wilson, Michael Clarke Duncan (the one from Green Mile).... it also got some very nice theme song for this movie "I dont wanna miss a thing - Aerosmith" and "Leaving on a Jet Plane - John Denver"... excellent movie
