Weeee!!! Got a Wii!
Che and I bought a new Wii for ourselves. The SGD350 Wii promo at Funan a few weeks ago was just too much for us to pass up. Been busy since then.
I've already spent 18 days on the Wii Fit Plus... So far, I've lost just 2 pounds :( It is Christmas though, many parties and the like... I'm still glad I still lost something. :) Favorite workout there is the Rhythm Boxing which is a great way to lose those extra weight.. especially the 10 minute workout.
We also got Mario Kart Wii... I was actually a bit skeptical whether I would actually enjoy this game. Well, good thing I am! :)) Just completed the 50cc tracks. Unlock the two unlockable cars as well as two unlockable characters - King Boo and Diddy Kong. Time to rest up my aching thumb and prepare for the 100cc tracks! :)

Facebook user beware! 419 Scam
Just came across the following news this morning about a new scam on the rise in Facebook. Check it out here.
Here's the gist:
Careful guys!
Here's the gist:
Fraudulent individuals collect log—in information through phishing sites and access Facebook accounts to send inbox or chat messages or to update the person’s profile. And they claim to be stranded in a foreign country and ask friends to send money, usually through a money transfer service.
The scam had previously been perpetrated through emails.
But more cyber criminals are leveraging on social engineering as a means of deceiving users...
Social engineering takes advantage of our natural tendency to trust one another, rather than relying solely on technological means to steal information
Careful guys!

House M. D. Quotes - Season 6 Episode 9 - Wilson
Dr. Gregory House: Got the urge to play last night. Had to go all the way back to my old apartment. Thought I'd save on future trips.
Dr. James Wilson: Hmmm. It's very eco-friendly of you. How about keeping down on the noise pollution.
Dr. Gregory House: Is it that time of year again?... He's a self-important jerk.
Dr. James Wilson: He's my friend.
Dr. Gregory House: He's a self-important jerk!
Dr. James Wilson: Seems to be what I'm attracted to.
Dr. James Wilson: I just had a House-moment. Diagnosed transverse Myelitis from a cold sore. How cool is that!
Dr. Gregory House: The self-important jerk does not have Transverse Myelitis. He's got cancer.
Dr. James Wilson: How do you even?
Dr. Gregory House: Ok! Maybe I paid the red head down in records a few bucks to cc me on all your cases. A few patients die you might get sad again. Make a speech that would end your career. Frankly, I'm stalking you for you.
Dr. James Wilson: Exactly how serious does it have to be to justify you coming to see your father?
Dr. James Wilson: No I'm sorry. I just.. I'd rather you regretted coming than regretted not coming.
Dr. James Wilson: You're Bonnie's friend. You know how to reach her and yet instead of calling her, you come and seek my permission. You want my blessing, and implicitly House's blessing.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I don't need House's blessing.
Dr. James Wilson: Good.
Dr. James Wilson: Where's House?
Dr. Chris Taub: Performing his ritual "hiding-from-Cuddy-to-avoid-getting-a-new-case" dance. Sort of a jazz-fusion type of thing.
Dr. Remy Hadley: Probably eating lunch in the morgue...
Dr. Gregory House: Why are you doing surgery when I need you find me a new case?
Dr. Robert Chase: You don't want a new case.
Dr. Gregory House: Oh, right. Guess I'm here for Wilson.
Dr. Gregory House: This is the 21st century, Wilson. I realize that the logical course of any adult relationship could one day lead to fornication.
Dr. Gregory House: This is classic midlife Cuddy crisis. This is her version of two-seat convertible.
Dr. James Wilson: Yep. Clearly you're fine with it.
Tucker: You're the only one who can make cancer sound good.
Dr. James Wilson: It's exactly what you would do.
Dr. Gregory House: I'm me. You're you.
Dr. James Wilson: ...And a table is a table.
Dr. Gregory House: And chemo is poison. And double chemo is double poison. And I can handle it when things go wrong. You can't. And things could go very very wrong.
Dr. James Wilson: I can handle it.
Dr. Gregory House: Look on the bright side. When you publish the results of this case study, no one will ever double the dose again.
Dr. James Wilson: Are you really okay?
Dr. Gregory House: No! I'm not okay. Not even close.
Dr. James Wilson: Wow. Okay. See? That's... very adult of you.
Dr. Gregory House: No it isn't. It's just me accepting the fact that there's nothing I can do about it. Moving on.
Dr. James Wilson: Which is, I think, the definition of adulthood.
Dr. Gregory House: Well, if it is. Being a kid is a lot more fun.
Dr. Gregory House: Well played. Religion just killed another person.
Dr. James Wilson: Tucker wants me to donate a lobe of my liver to him.
Dr. Gregory House: You were out drinking... 'Coz you're actually considering this?!
Dr. James Wilson: Yeah, I was out marinating my liver in alcohol to get it ready for the transplant. Yeah.
Dr. Gregory House: You're mouth says no, but your pathetic attempt at a deflection has guilt written all over it.
Dr. Gregory House: Quibbles! He's got a predictable complication. Surprise! Bad things happen to people who are sick! Doesn't make you responsible!
Dr. James Wilson: Oh... Not legally... Ethically. ETHICALLY!
Dr. Gregory House: A table is a table. Don't be a doormat Wilson!
Dr. James Wilson: Boy, you are... you willfully ruined my food and have taken over my living room because you already think I'm a doormat! You know what? You're wrong! Clean up your stuff and get out!
Dr. James Wilson: I want to donate a lobe of my liver to Tucker.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: That's insane!
Dr. James Wilson: I'm donating a small portion of...
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: You have hundreds of patients.
Dr. James Wilson: And until I run out of excess organs, why shouldn't I do everything I can to help them?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Because you're a doctor, not a donor.
Dr. James Wilson: Why did you make me the head of oncology?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Not because you have the most organs... You're thoughtful, caring...
Dr. James Wilson: Yeah, caring. By your own criteria, a strength, not a weakness.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: This is coming out of guilt.
Dr. James Wilson: This is coming out of friendship. I have a friend who is about to die. And I have the opportunity to save his life...
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: ... Okay...
Dr. Gregory House: I'm your friend... All the pain pills I've taken. What if I need your liver?
Dr. James Wilson: Right. How selfish of me not to have considered your possible future needs.
Dr. Gregory House: They're all dying. They're all your friends.
Dr. James Wilson: I'm not here for an argument, House.
Dr. Gregory House: No, right. That's room 12A...
Dr. James Wilson: The operation is in 2 hours. I'd like you to be there.
Dr. Gregory House: ... No.
Dr. James Wilson: What? Why?
Dr. Gregory House: Because if you die, I'm alone.
Tucker: I was thrilled to get the family back together. Melissa's great in a crisis, but... the person you want when you're dying isn't the same as the person you want when you're living.
Dr. Gregory House: You don't feel angry?
Dr. James Wilson: Huh.. I'm a little disappointed.
Dr. Gregory House: Disappointment is anger for wimps. You don't have to be so gentle about everything. It's good to be angry once in a while.
Dr. James Wilson: You can't change a table.
Dr. Gregory House: Actually, you can. You just need a coat of paint and the guts to use it.
Dr. James Wilson: She hurt my friend. She should be punished.
Dr. Gregory House: You got mad? I'm proud of you. Cuddy won't share the sentiment. How you gonna explain it to her?
Dr. James Wilson: Problem delayed is a problem denied.
Dr. James Wilson: Hmmm. It's very eco-friendly of you. How about keeping down on the noise pollution.
Dr. Gregory House: Is it that time of year again?... He's a self-important jerk.
Dr. James Wilson: He's my friend.

The reason why I stayed up late
Or why my body clock broke down again.
After our Malacca trip, I didn't sleep the whole night. I just spent the night watching over this beautiful sight...
The living room brightened up by the Christmas tree.
Closeup of the Christmas tree.
Closeup of Angel on top of the Christmas tree.
