Up and about...

0052hrs and still up and about?!? Yep, the family's all asleep... I've been trying to get my 'new' Lifedrive up again. Yep, got myself a refurbished one. The old one died on me a few days ago. And as Murphy always likes to pop up at the most inopportune of times, it died when I have not sync with the lappie for a few weeks! Few weeks! Duh...So all my calendar, diary, contact entries that I have entered over that period of time is gone! Takeaway from the episode...need I say more?!?

I did not get a new model of Palm or even cross over to those new fangled PDA cum phone using Microsoft's interface...I don't really like PDAs based on Microsoft's interface and I really like Palm OS' simple and easily accessible interface. Now I know how Mac users feel!

Anyway, getting back up data is always a hassle unless one backs up regularly. Which I do to the point of obsession. I have double and even triple redundancy of some of my more important data. For example, my huge digital photo collection that I started way back in 2001 and has grown to 25 GB is saved in 3 different places! One in my PC, another in a separate external hardrive and another in a 'secure' place on the internet. Talk about kiasu! Let's just say that many of the lessons concerning data was learnt the hard way. So boys and girls, ALWAYS back up your data... it's like insurance...it's a hassle and takes away resources (money for insurance and time for back-ups) but when the shit hits the fan, you'd be glad that you have done it.

Ah well, the Lifedrive's still humming away restoring my data...

In a few hours time, a lot of us will be meeting at a place that is aptly summed up in the following - "Tempat jatuh lagi dikenang, inikan pula tempat bermain..."

Can't wait to meet the whole clan there! My small suggestion for a gathering has turned out to be quite a meet-up...let's hope the weather cooperates!

Welcome to the family!

We would like to welcome Baby Noah to the family! We've just received an SMS from Ijai informing us that Bulin has given birth to Noah Copsey aka Noah bin Yusoff! Congrats guys! That's one more branch for the family tree...Moga-moga emak and bebudak dalam keadaan sihat...We'll visit you guys when we get back!

Oh..."when we get back"? Yep...we're blogging live from Impiana, Hotel & Spa situated a stone's throw away (actually 5 stones throw away!) from KLCC! Here's a 'teaser' from this morning's visit to the Skybridge of the Petronas Twin Towers. I had to get up at 0700hrs this morning to be at the queue by 0730hrs to wait for the counter that dispensed the tix to be opened at 0830hrs! But the wait was worth it! Enjoy the 'teaser'...more to come when we reach home...Insyallah...

Pertunangan Jihan & Fadil

Congrats to the both of them! Here's my first attempt at digital scrapbooking!

Welcome to the family Naila!

Bonjour Naila! Comment vas-tu? J'espere que tu vas bien...C'est moi, Oncle Omi! Félicitations! Je suis très fier de toi! Prends soin de toi! Bisous...

And so it was at 0425hrs on 13th December 2007 (Auxerre local time) was Naila born to the Ponce family! Félicitations to both parents and their little princess! I was told by her dad that she weighs 2,890g at birth. That she's adorable, in good health like her mom. Julie entered the hospital the day before at about 1600hrs. She will continue with her usual injections and will stay in the hospital until Monday morning...

Yeay! I'm finally an "Uncle"... ;)

Here are the pics of the mom and baby...

Julie & Naila...

Hmmm...looks like who ah?

Awww...so sweet...

One more branch for the family tree!!!
