Someone who I haven't talked to in a while sent me an IM saying "Hey is this you?" followed by a link to a page that looked like one of them profile shots.

I clicked on the link and what do I get? A download box asking me to download an application program.

Damn... almost got me!!

One of the things to look for in these chat bots is to see if the sender immediately goes offline after sending you the message. Cause they usually don't stick around to do so.

My main childhood plaything when I was a kid were not action figures, or remote control cars, or transforming robots. My parents won't buy me those toys, instead.. they bought me and my brother Lego sets (this is before Lego became plastic gold) Many many of my childhood days were spent with my brother piecing together our Lego sets, Space themed mostly, building our elaborate ships, playing out scenes of destruction and mayhem. Yes I had other toys, but the thing is I can still remember after all these years are the Legos and that I really really had a blast playing with them.

And today (rather yesterday 28th January 2008).. it's the 50th birthday of the Lego brick.

I can't wait to buy WZ his first Duplo set and play with him, then when I know he's old enough to handle the small pieces, daddy's going to tip the chest containing ALL of daddy's old Lego pieces on to him!

Happy Birthday Lego, thanks for a new toy every day during my childhood!

Note to self, do not feed WZ anything with even small amounts of sugar like say... some kuih kepit at night. It keeps him active and hyper till VERY EARLY in the morning!

Same goes for any sort of soup that even contains any trace amounts of chinese herbs that might give him an extra ounce of energy!
