Big Girl Says…
Mama: “Kong-kong said you are smart, shi-yi-poh said you are clever, do you know what mama says?”
Big Girl: “Pretty.”
Papa: “Do you know what papa says?”
Big Girl: “Don’t know.”
Papa: ” Naughty.”
Big GIrl: “No! Mama said I am good girl, I am not naughty.”
Papa: “So you are naughty good girl?”
Big Girl: “No! Good girl only.”
Papa: “…”
我不是冲动。。。
Waiting for many months… Finally, getting the latest & better iPhone 3GS (32GB):
My 2nd “PDA” since 2003 leh!!! It is certainly not the best phone around, can’t even compared with those high-end Windows Mobile devices in term of specifications & features. As a camera phone, it performs just fine, not spectacular. As an smart phone, with mobile applications readily available, some are free, adding a data plan, it’s the “best” phone I need, for now.
我不是”好练“，我只是想大家一起吃个萍果。整天打开视窗干嘛呢？！

Why?
Papa bought Jing Ting a can of nutritious candies and she wanted to have some immediately.
Then she was trying to feed papa…
“I don’t want…”
“Why?”
“Because it’s expensive, so it’s only for you.”
“Why?”
“Because you are my daughter.”
“why?”
“Because I love you.”
“OK!”
I’m not sure if she was really understand what her papa said, but she just melted his heart. 🙂

My Dearest Daughter…
She is growing up…
Finally, Going Fullframe
After much thoughts, considering the stronger Yen and rumors that Canon & Nikon will be raising the price of their photographic gears after Chinese New Year, I had a *serious* talk with my wife and finally got the green light to go ahead to get the 5D Mark II.
I am charging the batter now. Can’t wait for the hands on. Have been wanting a fullframe camera for at least 2 years now. Very excited.
P/S. EOS 350D & accessories – SOLD 🙂
Happy New Year 2009
So, first day of the year…
I just returned from the yearend countdown fireworks drive 🙂 — purposely driving at 20KM/hr along ECP to let my family watch the fireworks near Marina Bay… hundreds of vehicles did the same thing…
I will think about my new year resolution later. 🙂
Windows XP on VMWare Fusion & BootCamp
Finally get both environments up and running. Not that I missed Windows, but something just can be easily done in Windows than Macintosh.
For BootCamp, my only intention is to patch the Apple superdrive firmware so that I can have RPC2 Auto Reset enabled for playing DVDs from various regions without any concern of the being locked by a fixed region after 5th change… Dare not try the procedure yet though…
For WMWare Fusion, call it a “backup plan” then. I like the idea of the complimentary VirusScan software bundled in it. But this is just a 30 days evaluation copy, I will decide later whether to buy it for permanent use.
Meantime, I am enjoying my Mac and I’m in the process of gathering and disposing of all the old parts from my old Windows systems that cannot be re-used on Mac…
P/S. Practicing photo processing workflow now with Mac now with Canon Digital Photo Professional. Found the utility (exiftool) that I am looking for to batch reset file modification date to match the JPEG shooting date, cool!
