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.

House M. D. Quotes - Season 6 Episode 8 - Ignorance is Bliss
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Hold on. Take this instead. I was expecting more resistance.
Dr. Gregory House: That was the old me. New me is static-guarded and friction-free.
Dr. Gregory House: I feel like Mike Tomlin. Probably not as much as you do, but you get the idea.
Dr. Chris Taub: It's too hard to think?
James Sidas: No. Just unpleasant. No matter what I did, it really wasn't good enough. Then I met Dora. She didn't care how smart I was, or what I might accomplish in the future. It was the first time in my life that I was really happy. So I decided I'd rather be happy than smart.
Dr. Robert Chase: I know what you're trying to do, and I appreciate it. But I've got it under control.
Dr. Eric Foreman: That's what you said about the Dibala incident. Obviously you didn't.
Dr. Robert Chase: And talking about it made it so much better.
Dr. Chris Taub: Life's too short too worry about money.
Dr. Gregory House: There's only two possible outcomes for their relationship. They split or they stay together forever. If split, the sooner it happens the better for everyone. If stay, my meddling won't matter. In fact, if they survive it, it would make their bond stronger.
Dr. James Wilson: How you manage to elevate your narcissim to beneficence is masterful.
Dr. Remy Hadley: You gonna ask?
Dr. Chris Taub: I'm sure he's got a perfectly logical reason.
Dr. Gregory House: Can't be DIC, no hemorrhaging. And I'm calling all twelve Julia Cuddy's within a hundred mile radius.
Dr. Chris Taub: See? Completely reasonable.
Dr. Robert Chase: I'm gonna pretend there's something interesting over here so you'd shut up.
Dr. Chris Taub: This isn't some homework assignment his parent forced on him. This is passion. Why would he stop doing it?
Dr. Robert Chase: Marriage destroyed his soul.
Dr. James Wilson: This cannot end well.
Dr. Gregory House: Don't want it to end well. You should come as my date. You're not gonna want to miss this.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: So which one of us slipped through the wormhole into an alternate dimension?
Dr. Gregory House: I have always loved to travel. And paint.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Either you're trying to screw with me. Or you're trying to show me that you've really changed.
Dr. Gregory House: So which is it? I'm dying to know.
Dr. Remy Hadley: What's with the ties?
Dr. Gregory House: Makes me look adorably non-threatening.
Dr. Gregory House: On the otherhand, Taub and Thirteen can do the liver biopsy today?
Dr. Chris Taub: Why us?
Dr. Gregory House: Juniority. Welcome back!
Dr. Robert Chase: What do you want us to do?
Dr. Gregory House: Same as me. Have a happy thanksgiving.
Dr. Gregory House: You are not right for her.
Lucas Douglas: And you are?
Dr. Gregory House: Less wrong.
Dr. Gregory House: She invited me. She didn't know if she should until she figured out if I really have changed or if I'm still the same old SOB I have always been. But she always gave me a chance. Eight hundred thirty two chances. I used up everyone of them. 832's her limit. Make a note.
Dr. Chris Taub: Chase, you had a wonderful Thanksgiving?
Dr. Robert Chase: I don't remember. So I guess I did.
Dr. Chris Taub: Got drunk? Alone?
Dr. Robert Chase: No. That would be a sign I need to talk to you about this.
Dr. Robert Chase: Why does everyone assume everyone works in the *exact* same way?
Dr. Remy Hadley: We pretty much do. Our egos want to think we're all snowflakes, no two alike. But really we all want the same thing: love, forgiveness... chocolate.
Dr. Robert Chase: Well what I want is for everyone to leave me alone. How do I get that?
Dr. Gregory House: I can't believe that Lucas fell for my "I never say this because it's so personal except I'm so drunk" profession of love... the second oldest trick in the book.
Dr. James Wilson: You're right. It's his fault because his stupid.
Dr. Gregory House: He wasn't abusing the booze and taking the cough remedy medicinally. He was abusing the cough meds taking the booze medicinally. Bravo.
James Sidas: I don't think I could live without her.
Dr. Gregory House: You'd be surprised what you could live without.
James Sidas: You what the difference between her IQ and mine is? 91 points. In relation, she's closer to a gibbon than she is to me. Having sex with her would be an act of bestiality.
Dr. Eric Foreman: You really think you'd be happier with someone who could spell better?
James Sidas: No. That's the problem. I'm the one who's a jerk. But I owe her everything. I want to want to be with her. And when I'm clear... I can't.
Ronnie: Is the wait always this long?
Dr. Gregory House: Only on days that end in "day".
Ronnie: Don't you ever shave?
Dr. Gregory House: Yeah, once a week. How about you?
Ronnie: Every now and then, are you this rude to all your patients.
Dr. Gregory House: Oh yes! Don't think your special.
Dr. Gregory House: Sorry, I can't remember if I mocked you yet for being a male nurse?
Nurse Jeffrey: I think this counts.
Dr. Gregory House: Fair enough.
Dr. Chris Taub: That's what this is about? You think I'm a wuss?
Dr. Chris Taub: He made you miss Thanksgiving dinner.
Dr. Gregory House: Sorry to inconvenience you. Dying patients can be so thoughtless.
Dr. Chris Taub: Don't....
Dr. Gregory House: Great comeback! Is that Oscar Wilde? Come on people...
Dr. Gregory House: What about you? Got any predicatable dribble you'd like to add?
Dr. Robert Chase: I think they've given you enough already.
Dr. Gregory House: Well at least they're trying. They're not just sitting there like roadkill. Give me something! Give me something or I'll get your ex-smarter half on the phone and ask her!
Dr. Eric Foreman: House.
[Chase walks onto House and punches him across the face.]
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I heard. Gonna be pressing charges?
Dr. Gregory House: Against the ottoman I tripped over?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Against Chase?
Dr. Gregory House: Pretty sure the ottoman was acting alone.
James Sidas: It's lonely, isn't it?
Dr. Gregory House: It's not that bad.
James Sidas: Then you're not that smart.
James Sidas: Easier on your conscience if I die an idiot?
Dr. Gregory House: What's a conscience?
Dr. Gregory House: Sixteen splenectomies. Pretty sure he gets a set of steak knives.
Dr. Gregory House: Guess I deserved it.
Dr. Robert Chase: Well, if I thought that, I wouldn't be apologizing.
Dr. Gregory House: Your fist slipped?
Dr. Robert Chase: Everyone kept bugging me. Asking if I was okay.
Dr. Gregory House: So you busted my nose to keep people off your back?
Dr. Robert Chase: Pretty much.
Dr. Gregory House: Making people even more worried about you.
Dr. Robert Chase: Maybe, but at least they're not talking to me about it.
Dr. Gregory House: ...Fair enough.
Dr. Robert Chase: Cheers.
Dr. Chris Taub: Einstein's giving himself the lobotomy and you're cool with that?
Dr. Gregory House: Ignorance is bliss.

Christmas along Orchard Road
Our wedding anniversary stay in Quincy Hotel wouldn't be complete withoout a trip down Orchard Road. Although we didn't have enough time and energy to stroll down the entire length of Orchard Road -- there's simply too much to see -- we did get to see the best of the malls along Orchard Road have to offer.

That's the last... our feet are aching by this time, crossing the streets, taking pictures, and chasing Nite Owls :). Obviously, we need to revisit the Orchard Road for more pics. :)

Off the heels of Manny Pacquiao's historic win and controversies, another Filipino gives us another reason to be proud to be Pinoy.

All of the Top Ten finalists receive USD 25,000. Efren, being the top this year will get USD 100,000. More good news for the hundreds of kids who have grown to depend on this program.

Our Third Year Anniversary!
We celebrated our third year wedding anniversary at Quincy Hotel where we spent three days and two nights. It is a very nice place, very near Orchard Road and offers special discounts for permanent residents and citizens.
What's more, we get complimentary breakfast, lunch AND dinner buffets! I honestly don't remember any other hotel which offers three complimentary meals per day. Of course if you're in town to visit the entire place, you normally can't go back to the hotel for lunch. (Well, not us! Hehehe)
Anyway, here's some shots that we took of the place.

House M. D. Quotes - Season 6 Episode 7 - Teamwork
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: You took a patient's life, you lied about it for weeks, you broke who knows how many laws and oaths to cover it up... But I can live with it. we can go through it together.
Dr. Groegory House: This envelope is oddly... medical license-shaped.
Dr. Eric Foreman: House is back in charge. We get to treat a porn star.
Dr. Robert Chase: Congratulations.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Perfect timing for us.
Dr. Robert Chase: We're leaving the team. And the hospital, effective immediately.
Hank: It's a job. Once you start letting your worklife rule your homelife, expecially if you're on the same line of work, your relationships gonna be short.
Dr. Gregory House: Jew with megalophalus, photophobia, and muscle spasm. You tell me which is the most unusual.
Dr. Gregory House: The only obstacle to you coming back is your wife... which has never been that much of an obstacle to you.
Dr. Gregory House: Taub thinks it's a brain issue. Thireen thinks it's multi-focal.
Dr. Eric Foreman: And neither of them wants to work here.
Dr. Gregory House: Don't take their words for it. Taub's problem is his wife. Thirteen's problem is you. Chase and Cameron's problem is the dead African dictator. None of them have a problem with the work.
Dr. James Wilson: There are a thousand people in the world who want to be on your staff. But you're going after the four who *don't*.
Dr. Gregory House: They "don't" because their lives are irrelevantly and annoyingly complicated. Which makes them confused. Which makes them make poor decisions.
Dr. James Wilson: And your life is simple? You went all the way up to the medical conference to cozy up to Cuddy. Instead, she's dating one of two people in the world you think of was a friend. There's no way that's not devastating.
Dr. Gregory House: So I had an attraction of sorts...
Dr. James Wilson: Yeah... The sort in which your imaginary tryst landed you in a mental hospital.
Dr. Gregory House: And I got help. She got Lucas. Who bought me a ginger ale. It's all fine. Which won't be true of my department unless I figure out which doctor I'm not hiring.
Dr. James Wilson: I supposed throwin yourself into your work isn't the worst thing you could do.
Dr. Gregory House: What is the worst thing I could do?
Dr. James Wilson: Long pause... then sigh...
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Divorcing sex from all emotional content?
Lexa: Emotion is emotional. Sex is mechanical. It doesn't really need to be any overlap.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Certainly not in your world.
Dr. Robert Chase: You think you can escape the consequences, but you can't. you don't get to make your own rules on morals.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: I've forgiven him.
Dr. Gregory House: Not from murder. Not you. Doesn't matter how evil Dibala was. By every conscience-hugging, Mother Theresa-loving bone in your body, you should be leaving him, not leaving with him.
Dr. Gregory House: A - my firing Chase was the only reason you left two years ago. B - When the full horror of his homocide hits you, your marriage will blow up. And Z - the only obstacle to you working here will be gone. Or maybe I skipped a couple letters.
Dr. Robert Chase: In other words, you're committed except when you're not committed. Doesn't work so well if you have a conscience.
Hank: Conscience? You mean that thing that kicks in when there's no logical reason to behave the way people want you to.
Dr. Remy Hadley: Do you have feelings for me or not?
Dr. Eric Foreman: I don't want our work lives to have anything to do with our personal lives.
Dr. Remy Hadley: You couldn't keep them separate. I mean *that's* why our personal lives don't exist.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I know you're upset with me because I did'nt choose to date your best friend. But I'm living my life. For the first time, I'm not gonna change that because of how it might affect him or you.
Lucas: This is very insulting. You're apparently shocked by this which means that you thought that there was someway that we could date, get married, have two kids, a dog, retire to Florida, all without House finding out. Or... you thought that we wouldn't date that long. The first means your delusional. The second means I'm delusional. Technically, it could also mean that you thought House had matured, but then we're back to you're being *cuckoo*.
Lucas: I'm also flattered. Yeah, 'coz you acted all-cool and everything with Wilson, but you feel comfortable enough with me that you could freak out. That's cool.
Dr. Gregory House: She thinks that you don't have anything to feel guilty about. Because you didn't kill anybody. I did. She blames me for Dibala's murder, not you.
Dr. Robert Chase: You were barely involved in that case. She knows that.
Dr. Gregory House: I created the big bad evil climate that allowed it to happen.
Dr. Robert Chase: Why are you doing this? Why are you trying to screw things up?
Dr. Gregory House: You got the tense wrong. Things are already screwed up. Which is why you don't just want to work for me. You need to. Cameron thinks your my personal sock puppet. If you don't stay, gonna be hard to prove you're not.
Dr. Gregory House: You've ended your self-destructive streak. You want to do something significant. Something that lasts longer than the few years you have left. My team is your first best choice.
Dr. Gregory House: Absolutely, you should do that. Three hours a week. Every doctor should. Coz every doctor can. But you don't want to be every doctor. Plus on my team you get to screw with Foreman...every way but literally.
Lucas: Emotionally, you may be you want to run away. But in my experience, if you're staring at a pitbull in some guys backyard, you're better off staying right where you are. Face the problem. That way, it can't bite you in the ass.
Dr. Robert Chase: What I did may be the worst thing I ever did. It may be the best I'm either a murderer or a guy who stopped a mass murderer. But I did it. Me. And even if it destroys me. I'd do again today.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: You don't mean that. This isn't you.
Dr. Robert Chase: I'm not running away from what I did because you want me to pretend I never did it.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: If that's how you feel - okay.
Dr. Gregory House: So his life of filth wasn't the problem. Clean living was.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: I was in love with you. I was an idiot. Tried to be like you. Tried to understand you. Because - thought I could heal you. You almost killed that patient.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: You did kill Dibala. By playing God and teaching us to do the same.
Dr. Gregory House: I taught you to think for yourselves.
Dr. Gregory House: Your husband killed a patient, and you're breaking up with me?
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: You ruined him... So he can't even see right from wrong. Can't even see the sanctity of human life any more. I loved you. And I loved Chase. I'm sorry for both of you. For what you've become. Because... there's no way back for either of you.
Dr. Groegory House: This envelope is oddly... medical license-shaped.
Dr. Eric Foreman: House is back in charge. We get to treat a porn star.
Dr. Robert Chase: Congratulations.
Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase: Perfect timing for us.
