and hopefully, nobody would notice
just to take my mind off that "stupid something", here are some updates on what i've been up to / what've been happening for the last few days.
update no. 1
my 2 months maternity leave has finally come to an end and i am back to work. first day at work, switched on my pc and confidently clicked on internet explorer... i was greeted by the dns error page. ok... and i clicked on control panel, clicked on network connection and there's nothing there. so, i was like "eh? where's my local area connection?" ok... and then i right-clicked on my computer, clicked on properties, clicked on hardware, then device manager and "aik??? no network adapter???" ishhh... cannot be... so, i did whatever i think i should do - being the IT personel i am - nothing worked. finally, i had to make a report to the technician. the pc i'm using at work is actually one of the pc leased by M***S so, if there's anything wrong with the pc, we're not supposed to fix them eventhough we know how. must report to their technician and wait for them. but there are only three of them and they're taking care of the whole UMS so, i just got to be patient. to cut my story short, my pc was finally working after 3 days bcos eventhough the network card driver was already installed, i still wasnt able to access the internet > technician said hv to format the pc so backup all your important files/data > wanted to backup all the files/data i needed to cd but no nero > installed nero but still cd-writer not working > figured out that cd-writer is not working :-P bcos wrong driver > no choice hv to backup to D:\ > technician formatted pc and everything looks ok > suddenly, network adapter disappeared again > made another report > technician changed network card > done! phew!!! and all that took three days.

on a happy note, guess who bought a new apartment??? :-D hehehehhhh... yes!!! u guessed right! WE BOUGHT AN APARTMENT!! of course it is still under construction and will only be completed on Dec 2007. please be reminded, apartments are not condos but also, not flats. it's actually just a small apartment with three bedrooms and two bathrooms but that's just what we need for our small family. the apartments are developed by Wong Kwok Group and in Sabah, if it's developed by Wong Kwok Group, then it's one of the best!
Why did we choose that apartment and not others like Beverly Hills Apartments (yes, we hv beverly hills in KK), City Apartments, Melinsung Summer Bay or Country Heights? Bcos, University Apartments has the most strategic location in KK. it's only about 3 minutes drive from UMS - the place where i work, the federal house beside UMS is almost completed, beside the apartment is the proposed site for the new Tshung Tsin High School - where i intended to send Ellone for high school, but of course she will have the rights to choose which school she likes, i heard the one borneo hyper mall is going to be build somewhere near the place, etc etc. i can foresee that in five years time, this area is going to be one of the busiest section of KK. anyway, say later we decided that we dont really like living there, we can always move back to jnr's house in penampang and just rent out the apartment. over the years, i've come to learn that buying properties is never a waste bcos the value increase over time; unlike cars > value decrease.

let's have a short update on elaine's wedding. both church ceremony and reception went well, both bride and groom (and even the moms) look stunningly beautiful/handsome. they're really a lovely couple, too bad i dont have their photos. i'll post one as soon as i get a copy. jnr was really good at being the wedding cordinator; maybe we should consider ding business as a wedding planner hehehehhh... but seriously, i think it's a good idea. elaine even mentioned jnr's name and thanked him during her impromptu speech at the reception. she looked pretty nervous, thanking all guests for coming, thanking all relatives for lending a helping hand on her big day and keep apologizing for being late :-) reminds me of our wedding reception, jnr delivered a speech and even though he has prepared the text, i really think he's forgotten to thank his mom :-)

Wah I did not intend to venture further into your archives but guess what? I googled University Apartment and poof there appeared your site's URL as the first HIT.... seems like you're the only person on the net talking about this apartment.
My mom also bought an apartment there and my aunt also bought one. Who knows? In 2 years time, we could be neighbours hehehe.
