It's already been one year since that fateful day. The day when the results of the genetic cloning project was revealed to me. Unfortunately, it would seem like the clone only shares some similarities to me, and thus.. is actually a mutant of what I am, so the cloning experiment was a failure.

But in all seriousness at least I know part of me is in there.

Let's see what I've learnt and found out in the past year

• Mommy is always right, end of story. Don't get into an argument with her about the child.
• It's amazing how many days you can go on with just 4 hours of sleep a night.
• Babies are easily attracted to bright lights and sounds, hence... the TV, Mobile Phone, MP4 players is a great thing to use to distract them.
• It's an art to get a stroller up and down an escalator. My advice is to always make sure you're pushing the stroller against the slope, so that you're looking at the escalator, feel it's much safe that way, just remember to constantly look behind your back if you're going down. You might want to practice a few times before actually pushing the stroller containing your child onto an escalator.
• It's a very dangerous thing to do to push your baby on the escalator, really dangerous, one wrong move and the stroller is gonna fly down the escalator. Only do it if you don't have a choice, like if your son has a fear of going into lifts.
• Forget about buying protection corners for your tables and other corners, by the time your baby is old enough for those corners to be a danger to him, he's old enough to rip them off! When I stopped WZ from pulling one off he bit it and then ripped it off as if it was a bottle cap on a tin can.

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.
