WZ's great grandma had a nasty fall that day and ended up with some very nasty injuries. From what I know, she has some spinal injuries and doctors required her to be warded for a few weeks. Also scans shows she has some minor blood clots in her head.

The shocker came yesterday when she started hallucinating and just totally freaked out my mother with her condition. Luckily it was just because of the pain medication she was taking, so they took her off that medication and well... she's in pain but she's aware. Can't say it's much of a consolation.

Then I found out through my mother just now that my dear old grandma called one of my aunts and kept saying "I'm going to die, I'm going to die" Needless to say my uncles who were in Ipoh rushed to the specialist centre upon receiving the news. And what they saw there was truly...

A fire broke out in the specialist centre (i'll append the name here once I get it) and they unhooked my grandma off her drip and asked her to get the heck out of there.

They asked an 80++ year old lady, who was on a drip, in pain, has spinal injuries to GET OUT OF THE BUILDING on her own power!

I understand that it's a hospital, there are probably many other critical patients they need to worry about but still... my 80++ year old grandma.. I can't believe it!

I hope her situation didn't worsen because of this, I gotta go down and see her during the weekend. Hopefully seeing WZ might cheer her up a little.

I'm living every gear owner's nightmare right now, a newly purchased appliance is fluctuating between the state of dead and not dead. And it does it without any sort of frequency or reason. So I can't claim warranty on it since the support drones would just say they find nothing wrong with it...

FARK!

This is not really computer related, but the writers from Gizmodo took a TV BGone dongle to CES and started turning off TVs that were used in displays all over the show. Yes.. they were annoying, yes.. they shouldn't have done that, yes... they gave all the workers a VERY hard time because they did that. And yes.. here's their confession + video.

Some of the comments mentioned that Gizmodo should be banned from the next CES, at first I was thinking the same thing too, but after a while I realised that what they have actually done is point out how dangerous it is to have an unprotected, anonymous access allowed control port exposed to the public.

Guess everyone will start taping their IR ports shut during exhibitions now.

So.. you got an unlimited 3.5G or HSDPA connection, and you're asking yourself wouldn't it be great to be able to watch stuff you have back on your home PC while you're away from it? Here's a suggestion on how to do that.. though it might not be a very good one.

As evident from this video, WZ has pretty much figured out that crying=things go his way of course I'm not one to give in that easily to what he wants.

An interesting thing to note is the buttoned shirt that WZ is wearing as a jacket, that's hand made by his 80+ year old great grand mother! It seems that shirts like that are quite in demand by the older generation because one time in One Utama this old lady sprinted across the shopping mall just to ask if the shirt WZ was wearing was handmade or bought. And she seemed pretty disappointed when I said it was handmade.

My father says I shouldn't do swing WZ so high, mommy says WZ gets scared when I do this... he looks like he enjoying it.
