The Water Dragon

We got back from Singapore about 4 days ago. Seems like an eternity because our nanny hasn't returned from her hometown. Makes me realize how much she contributes to this household and we appreciate her even more now.

Anyway Singapore was great. Big thanks to my in-laws who washed and cleaned up after us, if you're reading we couldn't have done it without you.

Here are some choice pictures from our Singaporean Lunar New Year.

Family from Jakarta came to Singapore. It's so nice to see the children play together. It's even nicer that we don't have to watch Mountain Boy like a hawk because the older jiejies do a fine job. 

 Akhim! There's a better picture of her not squirming but it took forever to upload this one. 

The only family photo we took on the Singapore Duck Tour. 

Lilybuff just looks adorable here. 

And here too. She is photogenic isn't she.

The cousins meet again! The last night they hung out till WAAAAy past their bedtime. 

2 men and 3 babies.

Why we cannot have a third child in Singapore...

Nevermind that Singapore weather is so damn blardy hot that when i take two kiddos out i'm covered in layers of grime and sweat by the end of each day. I don't mind the "hardship". But logistically I cannot have 3 kids (or more) because of the new car seat laws. How can i possibly fit 3 car seats into the back seat of a normal 5 seater? I need to wait till Mountain Boy turns 7-8 yrs old (which is roughly when a kid reaches 135 cm) before I can have a third child. By that time i don't even know if i want to have a third child, or if my ovaries are still working. I'm convinced that this stupid new law aims to break the child bearing momentum.

Even if i have a third child by the time Mountain Boy turns 7-8, this bugger still cannot legally sit in the front seat because of the car safety regulations. So which means the 3 kids have to sit in the back seat. Think of the possible scenarios... 2 toddlers and a baby doing stuff the parents can't control. Hmm...

So the last possible scenario is to get an MPV, but think about the road tax and coe, and petrol consumption!

Dun buy car lah, just take the public transport. Or better still, just don't have a 3rd kid! If you already have child no.3, whooops... too bad!

Summer Singapore: Boys and Toys

The idea of being obsessed with transportation vehicles has always been a mystery to me. I never learnt how to ride a bike till i was Primary 5 (11 yrs old), and that was only because we had to go to East Coast Park for Children's day celebration and i didn't want to lose face in front of my friends. I was (is?) chubby, I was a prefect, so i didn't want anyone to make fun of me. Not surprisingly, i still don't have a driver's license until now, and i suspect i never will.

So back to my almost 2 yr old.

He is absolutely positively bonkers about vehicles. In Singapore he is content with daily trips to the mall via the public transport. In fact it's a reward we used often to make him go to sleep, "Take your nap ok? We'll take the bus afterwards."



But his biggest treat this trip was our visit to the Alexander Fire Station located next to Queensway Shopping Centre, open to the public from 9-11am every Saturday morning. Big, small, long short... all sorts of civil defence vehicles to create havoc in. On some days, the fireman can hoist u up the ladder up to 8 storeys high!!


Firemen Mountain Boy and Cousin ready for the next mission!

They even give u a helmet for keepsake. Mountain Boy wanted to wear it all the time so i had to bring it back to Beijing.
Maa, can i have this one instead?

Summer Singapore: Sentosa

The highlight of our Singapore trip was definitely our 3d 2n stay at the Hard Rock Hotel. Cost an arm and leg but it's the best hotel we've stayed in as a family. The suite we got was luxurious- the bedsheets must have been at least 800 thread count, free toiletries from Bvlgari, and a Nespresso machine! I'm so easy to please.

The launch of Resort World and Universal Studios have really transformed Sentosa into an ultimate tourist dream. I can no longer say that Singapore is boring. There really is so much to see and do.

We brought Mountain Boy to the beach for the very first time and look how much fun he had! Kept wanting to go deeper and deeper into the sea, roll around in the sand and refuses to leave. Maybe he is a Beach Boy after all.

He plunged into the sea before i could put on his rash guard.

Of course the best part of the holiday was the company of family. Mountain Boy got to hang out with his cousin and boy did they keep us busy.
A rare picture of both looking at the camera.


Awww...

Mountain Boy has never taken public transport in China so the monorail ride was a real treat. There was once we killed time just sitting in the monorail going back and forth the stations.
Monorail madness.

Lolli-freaks.

The Hard Rock Hotel beach/pool was awesome. The sand was apparently imported from Australia so it's silky smooth and pristine. There's also a water feature and slide to keep the kids entertained. Mountain Boy enjoyed the pool so much that i had to drag him out after an extended countdown.
Can we stay here forever please....


Father and son enjoying to sun.

I felt so sad that we had to leave Sentosa because i've never seen Mountain Boy enjoy a place so much. Let's hope we can go back when the new baby arrives. Till then Sentosa!

Congratulations Singapore

I may not be Singaporean, but i've lived there all my life, I married a Singaporean, I gave birth to a Singaporean and one more Singaporean is on his/her way. So I am proud of all Singaporeans who stepped out of their comfort zones and supported the opposition parties yesterday. Worker's Party's historical breakthrough was a testament of how Singapore is truly maturing. Singaporean politicians of today face a tougher job than a decade ago because you no longer vote based on gratitude or fear (or so i hope). It takes so much more to convince you that not any Tom, Dick or Harry can join politics!

I also commend educators, parents, and citizen journalists who've paved the way for a more balanced political discourse. Your perseverance and fearlessness helped to level the playing field so that the opposition could have a voice, so that the common man had a real choice (it rhymes!).

I am not an expert in politics, but I know that a natural monopoly doesn't apply to a government. This is not the end of PAP or the start of it's journey down the slippery slope, but competition and failure will only propel a worthy party to work for the better, and i believe that is what we can expect from hereon- a better future for Singapore.

Amazing Singapore Race

Did anyone catch last night's episode of the Amazing Race? I must say that i'm impressed with what Singapore has to offer today versus many seasons ago when Phua Chu Kang living in Lim Chu Kang (or wassit Yio Chu Kang) was part of the leg of the race. And also the totally irrelevant Suntec Fountain of Wealth.

Last night, Singapore was portrayed as one of the busiest port in the world and the teams headed down to ASL for their road block. The finale was Mega Zip on Sentosa Island and that looked REALLY cool.

I think STB did almost everything right this time. But someone obviously forgot to send a memo to all the taxi drivers-
  1. DO NOT ABANDON YOUR PASSENGERS, ESPECIALLY IF A CAMERA CREW COMES ALONG WITH IT.
  2. DON'T TALK TOO MUCH COCK. JUST DRIVE.
  3. DON'T SPEAK IN SINGLISH. An uncle went.. "Where's the mega jeeep ah?" One lady answered, "upstair".

The problem with monopolies

I ordered a few sets of cute Fred and Friends food face over amazon sometime ago. Paid extra for Amazon to deliver it to vpostUSA in 2 days so i could receive it when i got back to Singapore.

I waited and waited.... The package was late, it only arrived in Singapore after i came back to Beijing. Given the CNY holidays and weekends, i think it's understandable that the package MAY have been held up at the customs.

But 18 days later still no package. Why?

This was what happened in chronological order...
  • 24 Feb morning- I got an email saying that they delivered to my old address which was the address in my vpost PROFILE but nobody answered the door. They were going to arrange for re-delivery on 26 Feb.
  • 24 Feb late morning- I called Speedpost from Beijing to tell them to deliver item to DELIVERY address (which was the whole point of me filling in the delivery address right?)
  • Speedpost tells me that they don't know, must call Vpost.
  • Vpost apologised and said they will deliver to DELIVERY address.
  • Just in case, i emailed and filled in the feedback on vpost website to inform them that the item is to be delivered to DELIVERY address, not PROFILE address.
  • 25 Feb- I received email from Vpost acknowledging that they will arrange delivery to DELIVERY address.
  • 26 Feb- I received an sms from my mom who received an sms from the tennant (currently living in my PROFILE address) that she received an item from amazon.
  • Now i'm trying to call and leave message on webpage but they are closed for the weekend.

Pardon my language but WHAT FUCKERY IS THIS!? Funny thing is they've gotten it right the last 10 times i used vpost. Is someone in Vpost is out to get me? In this case i think the theory of screw-ups is more probable than the theory of conspiracy.

I tell you the problem with Singapore, too many monopolies. Lack of competition breeds stupid SOPs that don't make sense, and they hire customer service officers who obviously never shopped online before because they don't know the difference between DELIVERY and PROFILE addresses!!!!

I AM FUMING. What would u have me do? Threaten to not use their service? Wait i can't cos i have no options.

Complain? Cannot also cos on their web page there is only an option for "compliment", no option for "complaints", such audacity. Singapore is a service oriented city MY BIG-FAT-GIGANTIC-BIRTH-GIVING ASS.

SIL: If u're reading, now u know why the plates never arrived. there's no resolution yet.

Hello, we're back!

Apologies for the long hiatus. I didn't bring a laptop to SG so i didn't get much access to the internet. Actually even if i did, i wouldn't have time to blog cos i was just so crazy busy. Looking after T without the help of a nanny was just insane.


We were doing something every waking minute- change nappy, bathe, wash bottles, sterilise, express milk, pat to sleep, playtime, feed... T was also incredibly fussy the first 2 days due to the extreme change in temperature (from -10 to 30 degrees celsius). On top of all that there is the stress of flying with an infant, i was so afraid that he may cry non-stop or hurt his ear during take-off and landing. I was so stressed that my milk supply dipped and i had to supplement him with formula.

But given our trepidations during this trip, we've also encounered many milestones, and we learnt alot more about him too!
  1. He now flips on his own without any assistance (at 3.5 months!).


  2. He makes a new face.


  3. Increased his vocabulary, now he makes the Darth Vader sound "kkhhhhh, kkkhhhhhh" and "AarrRRrrrrr", like he is about to say Arrribah...
  4. Found his toes so he loves to grab his socks and pull them off.
  5. In general, he prefers women to men. Mountain man says he likes to "kuah char boh" cos his eyes always follow pretty women.
  6. He likes to play rough. The louder, the more shocking the better.
  7. He can sleep in noisy places at night. We went to Holland V for drinks, went to friends' place to play mahjong/chit chat, and he even slept through very loud "yum seng" at a wedding.
  8. At night, he can sleep on his own without patting, rocking, singing. Just leave him in his cot, he'll cry softly and fall asleep!
  9. Last but not least, not really a milestone, but it's a decent family picture in 4 months.

Happy 4 months T, mom and dad are so proud of u. For more pictures of our 12 days stay in SG, click here.

Blue Bling

I collected this from the jeweller today and i am completely mesmerised by it. Seriously can't stop staring at it.


The royal blue sapphire is a wedding present from Mountain man, but i didn't go to a good jeweller to set it the first time so i really hated it. This was the previous setting, the workmanship was seriously poor.

PS: If you haven noticed, i bought MK and Ashley's INFLUENCE!! i dig them twins...

****************************************************

Anyway, today i was at the lucky plaza bus-stop trying to figure out which bus to take to Marina Square. It was extremely packed so i kinda had to squeeze through the bodies to get to the bus route directions. Then i came across the RUDEST women i've ever met. The conversation happened something like this...

Me: Excuse me, excuse me (while meandering through the crowd)

Rude Lady: PLS don't push (and she pushed me while telling me not to push her)

Me: But i said "excuse me"... i needed to get across.

Rude Lady: Yah you said "excuse me" but i have the right not to move away for you. (i was like ??????like tht also can ah)

Me: What do you mean, when people say excuse me, it's only polite to let them pass...

Rude lady: no no no (she waves her fugly fat index finger at me)

Me: Don't you dare wave your finger at me (I wave my long and slender index finger back at her). You are so rude, you owe me an apology...

Rude lady: you are the one who is rude.

Me: Excuse me, you have no manners!

...and the crowd kinda took over the bus stop so it was impossible to continue quarrelling even though i wasn't done. I wanted to hurl every insult i knew at her, I even wanted to whip out my hp and take a picture of her horrible face to post on this blog... But she disappeared fast enough. GOOD FOR HER. Better don't wait till i unleash my china trained wrath upon her. I'll end off with a Krrrruuueeeeek... PUI!

my last night in Singapore


The girls and i are reunited at last (minus yuen who is down with flu).... One good thing about the economic crisis is tht there's nothing to do in the office, so everyone's free to meet up on a monday night. I call these girls the "constant" in my life. It's been so many years but whenever we get together, we'll gossip about more or less the same people and laugh at more or less the same jokes... and that's precisely what i need. I need to know that there are some things in my life that are predictable. Friends who don't judge but empathize with whatever insanity life deals you. Friends who have seen, suffered and endured your idiosyncracies and yet still love you.

Singapore News Bytes

If u're seeking entertainment, look no further than the straits times . Always a joy to read.

Legal Demonstration?

Singapore has made demonstration legal at the Speakers Corner effective 1 Sep! wow. what an achievement.

6 people have "demonstrated" so far. And it lasted a grand1o minutes. The hawkers opposite the speaker's corner must be so pressured to create changes in Singapore.

Somehow i wish they had chosen to make marijuana legal instead. It would elicit a more enthusiastic response.

PM Lee gives dating tips..
  • Make time to go out and meet new friends (totally agree. U definitely should go out, incest is illegal)
  • Join a dating agency, be it the Government's Social Development Unit/Social Development Service or a private agency.(wow, a sure way to meet the love of your life)
  • Have realistic expectations. You have to make an effort for the relationship to work. (Read: don't eye a ferrari if u can't afford to buy it)

  • Bring your social graces up to scratch. For instance, do not wear slippers when taking your date out for a romantic dinner at a nice restaurant.( Yes, but u can definitely pick your nose)
While it is easy to get carried away by romantic images in movies - where you meet someone of your dreams, instantly fall madly in love, get married, maybe have twins and live happily ever after - we are ordinary people in real life. 'We may not have instant sparks the first time. But you take your time, discover the person for who he or she is, nurture the relationship, and then maybe love may blossom.'(you want ur babies doncha..)

Man get's nut stuck around his penis

KUALA LUMPUR - A MALAYSIAN welder had to have a nut removed from around his penis after an attempt to lengthen it before he gets engaged next week went embarrassingly wrong, a news report said on Sunday.

when i first read i thought he welded his own nuts unto his penis, but no it's a REAL nut. I don't know how he put it in but he thought it would weigh down the thing so it'll look longer. Ironically his thing became even shorter cos they have to cut it off to get the nut out. But maybe can sew back an even longer one. haha

April and Yew Chong's Wedding

I'm back and recharged! Finally managed to sleep 10 hours straight. Didn't sleep much at all in Singapore, esp the night before the wedding, i tossed and turned for 8 hours, feeling the nerves of daunting tasks the next day. I was so afraid of screwing up and ruining the wedding.

Anyway, there were high and low points for me personally. The haggling was very successful, it was meaningful and the boys were very sporting and did everything we asked them to. But the emceeing was a disgrace. I just wasn't very engaging, and i forgot the brides' parents' name!!! I was tired and distracted, just wasn't my usual charming self (haha). I still feel a bit bad seriously. I don't know how Mel and Sze Yong pulled it off so smoothly at our wedding, they were so comfortable and fun.

I really wanna talk more about the haggling cos it was SO interesting, educational and meaningful.

The games were designed around the 5 languages of love. FOr those who are not familiar with this concept, basically LOVE can be given or felt by a person in 5 different ways.
1. Quality Time
2. Acts of Service
3. Givng of Gifts
4. Physical Touch
5. Words of Affirmation
So the deal was for Yew Chong to learn about all 5 of these, and how to apply them to his marriage with April. At each stage, upon receiving an angpao, the boys will receive an envelope with an explanation of each love language and the task at hand. They have to complete the task within a certain time, failure to do so will lead to a certan forfeits (read: mindless, senseless torture).
Mean Bitch haggler from hell: So are u ready boys?
Boys: Bring it on..We feel cool wearing matching 喜喜 T-shirts.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

1. Quality Time


The bride is a TV-holic, she loves watching TV and hopes that the groom will watch them with her in future. The boys had to play a game of charades to guess Aprils favourite TV shows.
Out of 30 shows, they got only 1 right. haha.

Forfeit was horrible... They had to eat a spoonfool of Mystery powder (either spices, pastes, flour, or fybrogel!!!) and then down a shot of cooking oil.



2. Acts of Service
April needs to know that Chong will share her chores, especially in caring for their future babies. So the groom had to change diapers, feed and sing a lullaby to the "babies". THis part was very funny. The adult pampers we got were too small, and there were funny adult pictures drawn all over them. The milk bottle was half filled with sugar. But they said it was delicious!




Ruperto: it's not my size daddy...



The forfeit was for them to experience one of women's worst pain- HAIR REMOVAL. it was so fun watching them growl in pain.

Stella: Where's the hair? not thick enough, pluck again!!!


3. Givng of Gifts
THis was the simplest. The groom had to fill in a questionnaire on important dates and April's favourite gifts and brands of things she uses.

4. Physical Touch
This one i borrowed from Esther's haggling session. The groom had to identify his bride's lips amongst a group of lipstick marks (most of them belonged to siblings of the bride).
Of course he failed and he had to kiss his brothers...
Jasper: Woah Chong how come u eat so much garlic early in the morning?

5. Words of Affirmation
Okay this part is the sweetest. All the groom had to do was to serenade us with the bride's favourite song "The Way You Make Me Feel". They sang in the garden while the bride peered out of her window. So sweet, the groom and groomsmen are all talented musicians so they really pulled it off impromptu. I teared a bit.

The groom(extreme left) and his bestman (Ruperto, extreme right)also gave very touching speeches during the night.
If i recall correctly, he said "the person u want to marry is not the one u can live with, but the one u cannot live without. I was a weirdo, but i hope today i'm your hero". *wipe tears*.
They also prepared a special item for the bride during the night. In these Arms by Bon Jovi. *Wipe Tears* I want to get married again.
You want commitment
Take a look into these eyes
They burn with a fire, just for you now
Until the end of time
I would do anything
Id beg, Id steal, Id die
To have you in these arms tonight Baby
All photos taken by Jo Chua, Alwin Lim's photos coming up soon.

Back in Sunny Island (3 days only)

Back for April's wedding. Now at Pacific Coffee Company (Red Dot) waiting for my 2nd appointment (I have 6 appointments today), my fellow emcee for the wedding. Lucky got internet cos he is 30 minutes late already!

Anyway, flight yesterday was horrible, BJ -> SG is about 2 hrs more than SH ->SG. I took the early morning and didn't sleep well the night before, i spent about 7 hrs on flight drifting in and out of twilight zone, waking up in weird positions (like my head suspended 45degrees away from my neck). Also experienced T3 in beijing, the terminal built especially for the Olympics. Super big and chic, but the terminal shuttle train broke down! we were brought to the carpark in the basement where we had to take the bus.

Okay gotta run sorry for the abrupt entry, Ruperto shd be arriving any minute!

I hate hotlines

Not so much the dating hotlines cos i've never tried them before. But i really really abhor the banking and service provider hotlines.

They are an international bank, claim to have worldclass standards, citi that never sleeps, so please why can't they just live up to their promises!

Firstly, let customers calling from overseas call-in a separate hotline, not the normal hotline. Obviously when you're overseas, circumstances would be far more urgent. What if you're really in a stranded situation, robbed, and ur cell phone has only 1 bar left... Or even worse you're borrowing cell phone from a kind passerby... Obviously you can't wait 20 minutes! It's absolutely plausible that conditions are dire and therefore you need to call ur bank for immediate rectification.

They also have this state-of-the-dumb CONTACT US system online which requires one to fill in options on the best time to call back. They have options for Monday-Sunday, but no options for anyday, or how about IMMEDIATELY. And options for best time to call back are between 0000-23:59, but no again no options for IMMEDIATELY. What if you put Tuesday 1200 and somehow the email only reaches the service officers at Tuesday 1201, does that mean i have to wait one week before the call?

Right now, as i'm writing this, i am STILL ON HOLD. The classical music is confusing my emotions, it puts me to sleep, but i am at the same time infuriated. I feel very sorry for the customer service officer I'm about to speak to.

Rat-ta-ta-ta...

The lunar year crept upon me while i lay bed-ridden for 2 days, sick with a lethal strain of flu from Indonesia, and a mild diarrhoea.

I may have missed my last reunion dinner as singleton, but the trip back to indonesia was definitely fruitful. My future-in-laws (FIL) paid a last minute visit to my mom and everything went well... My mom is happy with her new friends and the generous gifts from them. In fact, my mom even joked about how she can't refuse the marraige anymore since the goodies have all been eaten up... =)

Currently i'm in singapore, feeling the full effects of rising inflation. Everywhere i turn i see "warning" signs... "With effect from Jan 1 2008, 1 plate of chicken rice will cost $4".

Taxis now jump 20 cents every 330 meters, i think this will overtime contribute to another nationwide phenomenon called Weight Loss. No need the great singapore workout, just increase the price of cab fares by exhorbitant amounts. I finally understand how the japanese stay so slim despite a diet of katsu curry, Tempura, japanese mayo and tonnes of carbo, u freaking walk everywhere cos a cab ride costs u a fortune.

Anyway...despite the rising cost of living, there's still reason to rejoice cos i'm counting down to 18 Feb. 1 more week before i say I DO. Still everything is behind time, i don't think i have done things right. Did i file my registration, am i supposed to call the JP, have i got the guest list sorted, have i done this and that.... The ROM website has a list of FAQs and Things to do if u screw up.

For eg.
WHAT if i forgot to bring important documents?
Ans: Keep cool and calm. If solemnization can be delayed pls inform Justice of Peace..
WHAT if the solemnizer fail to turn up?
Ans: Keep cool and calm. Go to website...

I felt kinda ticklish after reading this. By the time i unleash my bridezilla, no amount of Keep Cool and calm can hold me down.

Home...(updated)

Home is neither Shanghai, Singapore, or Jakarta. Home is where family, food and friends are...

We were greeted by foggy weather in Shanghai yesterday afternoon, weather was about 16 degrees, high by mid-jan standard. Still, i was shivering as my body hadn't adjusted to this temperature after having enjoyed high twenties for the last 2 weeks.

Anyway, too many things happened on the trip, but i'll pick 2 highlights for now, the 2 weddings that i've attended. the main purpose of the trip back.

In chronological order...One to end the year and the other to begin it.


Eugene and Esther- 25th December 2007
Location: Bride and Groom's home, Shangrila
Photo/slideshow: Gabriel Mendes
Music: Such Great Heights by The Postal Service


These are the highlights for daytime. I must have watched it for the 10th time now, and i can keep going. As i recall that day, waking up at 530am was no small feat after a night of christmas eve partying, but still every minute awake was worth it. I got to witness and be part of my first JIE XIN NIANG (picking up the bride), and i saw 2 of my best friends finally tie the knot...

Anyway, the lucky numbers bride and groom picked strike 4D 3rd prize. What a good follow up.

Mark and Heather- 6th Jan 2008
Location: The Sentosa
Emblem Design: the groom himself

I was late and missed the walk-in, but thankfully just in time for the vows. 10 seconds into the wedding, i was crying buckets of joy. Uncontrollably.... I cried when the groom said his vows, i cried when the bride said hers. Then i cried again when heather's mom dedicated a song to the couple. Then i cried again when i hugged the bride and groom.
I knew they were writing their own vows, in fact i could more or less expect the content, but i didn't expect the effect to be so overwhelming. It was very sincere and really really touching.


Our most sincere best wishes to both couples.

ADDTIONALLY:

On top of the personalised emblem design, mark also created their own slideshow. Its unlike any other slideshow we watch during dinners, its just very THEM. The subjects in the pictures move...super trippy. If anybody wants a slideshow this style, i would be happy to accept referral commission. ha ha.

(FYI Mark is a graphic designer at this sporty channel we all watch every week).

Coming Home....

Schedule:

22nd Dec to Dec 30th Singapore

Dec 30th to Jan 3rd Jakarta

Jan 3rd to Jan 7th Singapore



I can't wait to go back home. My first meal is going to be Chicken Rice. Maybe i'll have it for lunch everyday. I've been dreaming about it since i confirmed my flight back 2 months ago.


My schedule is pretty tight, i have tonnes of little errands to run- Pay bills, apply for new IC, buy handphone, buy stuff i don't get in singapore, finish up wedding prep and do the final burst of christmas shopping, even though i'm pretty much broke already.


I have been packing my bag for the last 4 days, i have like a 300 litre bag full of presents, dresses, shoes and bags cos i have 2 weddings to attend, and many many many parties.



Just read from cousin Irena's blog tht her 2 brothers are also in JKT, and we're gonna spend our first Old and New in a gazillion years together. I can't wait.

I'll also be meeting my nieces once again, and my nephew for the first time. I hope all the clothes i've bought for them will fit! I'll be really upset if they don't, and i'll be stuck with a bunch of baby clothes i don't know what to do with them.

I'm just feeling the excitement of seeing people back home again. ARGGHHHH....!!!!

MDA Rap

Can u imagine ur mom rapping instead of nagging? I can't decide which is more effective...
My favourite is the IT guy...
