Haven't really done much over the weekend. On Saturday, we went to Guang Wah to look at hard disk drives for my computer at home. I have 3 hard drives, all 80GB each, but it never seems to be enough :-p. So I invested NTD$3330 for a 320GB Western Digital SATA2 hard drive with 16MB buffer memory, thats about 56 English Pounds, which isn't bad really. Took forever to format though, but it was worth it as it freed up my two portable 80GB USB hard disk drives.
We went with Chien's old colleagues, Alie and Tom and basically caught up with each other asking how everything is and what everyone is doing.
On Sunday, we paid a visit to my chum Steve, who recently had an operation on his left knee. He had suffered a ligament injury a few years back while playing basketball, which made him give up his team captain position at University. He seems to be recovering alright, and being able to walk like an old man. I should have got him a zimmer-frame, but instead brough him some English tea and chocolates which we got from UK. He even showed us a video of a doctor taking out some kind of tube from his leg. It wasn't for the faint-hearted, but its what you have to do nowadays to convince your boss that you was actually on sick leave! Apparently he only needed anaestetic from the waist down for the operation...and from there I questioned him whether he had any "accidents" while still feeling numb...well, I'll leave it to your imagination! Ha ha ha ha!
I'm entering into a major important part of my project at work tomorrow which would mean I have to be in the office before 8am and leaving around 10pm until the end of November. I hope it goes smoothly...I'm going to loose a lot of sleep I think! Wish me luck guys, I think I'm going to need it!
I will try to update the blog in the quiet hours.
In the meantime, Amelie is enjoying some soup noodles and Chinese pears...
Take care y'all!
