Security updates keeps us busy during festive holidays again. The last one with WordPress 2.3.2 kept us occupied prior to the 2008 New Year. Today, the new WordPress 2.3.3 release happens just prior to the Lunar New Year. The major focus of this security release is to fix a flaw in the XML-RPC implementation. Other XML-RPC problems were also plugged in the previous WordPress release. Holidays or not… you should try to upgrade ASAP! More details on 2.3.3 here.

Bak Kwa Not Up to Standard
It seems this CNY season, all the Bak Kwa standard have fallen below expectations. Even from “normally OK” brands like Bee Cheng Hiang… hmm, they don’t make the cut. I don’t know, but I suppose they are employing temporary inexperienced staff to do the BBQ’ing? Or are they substituting their usual stock with inferior quality pork? Ok, must remember to protect my bak kwa from Phoebe and Rascal. Especially Phoebe.
Swenson’s Beef Baked Rice
Swenson’s new Beef Baked Rice isn’t to my liking. Worse yet, it was served not hot. Very unlike how you’d expect an oven baked rice dish to be. Very obviously microwaved. — Posted from my N95 Lifeblog.

I still had to wait like forever.

First Yu Sheng This CNY
This is my first Yu Sheng for this CNY. Instead of raw fish, we had abalone. — Posted from my N95 Lifeblog.
Baby’s 10th Month Update
Baby Vanessa is 10 months old today. This is how she looks now, sleeping with *ahem* her favourite pacifier. Vanessa now has 8 teeth, and she’s crawling around quite fast. It’s quite funny to see her crawling with Rascal and Phoebe running around her. Phoebe even rolls over to let Vanessa sayang her!
Shopping for a Compact PC
Nowadays, it is not enough to just get a “best value” PC. Aesthetics have become an important factor in the overall consideration. Buyers are looking for PCs that look nice, are compact, clean design, blend in with the environment, etc. Now that PCs are so cheap, sometimes the price becomes a lesser important issue.
