Ok... First thing's first!! I've done a bit of research on what I should do to get rid of this backdoor adware that refuses to give up & at the same time injecting trojans on my data!!So, the next logical step is to find out how to do this yeah? Well... I've got some reading materials... only like 4 copies of materials of about 30 pages each!! ~argh~ Nearly had a heart attack when I printed them off!! As I started reading (I'm on page 4 now, thank goodness!!), I realised that I've gotta use some of the materials simultaneously cos the explanations of what at R0 R1, O2, O15, etc etc... are found on the tutorial of HiJackThis - an extremely powerful system tool only to be used by a professional who knows what they're doing! Ok... so, I'm not a professional & I definitely do not have any clue of what I'm doing - but I have no choice, yeah? I've gotta do this!! I mean, if I lose my stuff, I'll lose it... just like if I were to reformat my hard drive!! That's why I'm gonna have a backup... those files that I need saved, like my resumes & stuff - things that I don't wish to lose at this down time of my life when I totally need a job really badly!!
Tomorrow is Saturday & I've got housewifely duties to perform like doing the groceries shopping with Kris. Why with Kris? Cos he's the ATM while I'm not working!! He has to pay for EVERYTHING!! And also cos I don't have a car!! Kris sold off my Mitsubishi Colt, if u remember from my previous post!! And the Audi sedan that he's got, he just realised how massive the problem is and he's thinking of getting it sold to one of the wreckers down the road!! ~sigh~ What a waste of time & money!! Oh well! ~shrugz~
Oh, and early tomorrow morning, he's going to that used car dealer to see if he can get a better price for the 1984 BMW that's got like over 300K km on it!! ~sigh~ another one of his futile projects, I see!! Whatever rocks his boat, I say!
And Sunday is Chinese New Year... and since I'm not coming online on the weekend, I'm wishing everyone a Happy Chinese New Year!! Oh, have I posted it there earlier? Well, never mind... not everybody reads the older posts anyway... =)
I'm going over to Ling's house for a small cookup dinner celebration with the LELER girls. The wat girls? LELER!! Liza, Ezra, Ling, Elaine & Roann!! harharhar... It got to be such a hassle & costly to mention everyone's names on sms that I'd made up the anagram!! harharhar... So, yeah... I'm supposed to make my famous sardine's pastry puffs (recipe of filling courtesy of Kinz's Mama), an Orange Butter Cake & bring 3 oranges each with a red packet containing 1 gold coin for good luck. I'll prolly make her mom a banana bread as well cos she's got high blood pressure & Ling's ever so protective of what she eats.
So, ok... I'm going to a little bit more reading of that virus thingy!! By the time I completed all those materials, it'll be a week from today!!! ~sigh~ Then again, I may just post the log on the technical board & let the big boss see what i need to clean up. ok ok... I'm off.. need to read... need to read...
Something's wrong with my computer eversince that bloody virus attacked it!! So, it'll take me some time to put it back to normal... For the time being... have a Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!!

I'm not gonna stay online long... Just came online to say Happy Australia Day to all aussies around the world!!Oh... and last Saturday out with the girls for the dimsum & Elaine's birthday bbq was a blast!! We were really so full even before we get to her place!! And when we left, we were rolling on our sides literally!! But we managed to get some icecreams when we got to Roann's place!! I met her mom, Aunty Cora!! Very spunky lady!!! And finally gotta meet Van that day!! TWICE!! First was at Carousel... then she got home just before we left for Elaine's & then, again, when we got back from Elaine's & she was just coming home to drop Peter off & then, change & go out again with her gfs for a nite of dancing!!!
I'm going back to watching the animes that Roann loaned me the last time... She gave me a whole stack of 'em!! So far, I've watched 3 DVDs of the Fruits Basket anime!! And I heard that there's only these 4 DVDs... and there's none left!! And if I wanna catch up with the story, I'll have to continue reading the manga instead!! ~argh~ I'm gonna drag Kris to JB Hi-Fi to get this set that Roann loaned me cos I like it!! And of course, I wanna go get some others as well!! And I've told Kris I wanna get some dance DVDs to use as exercise!! I didn't get any the last time we went... but I did get like 7 chickflicks!! harharhar...
oh ok ok... i need to go... animes are calling me... I'm sooo addicted, i tell u!!!

A few days ago, my MSN Messenger prompted me to get a newer upgraded version, I clicked on it like I'd done a few times before & it bloody crashed my MSN Messenger!! I wasn't able to get onto it! And upon further scrutiny, I realised it downloaded the same version over again!! And this time, I got all these Error & Troubleshoot messages that nothing could rectify...After restoring my system & still nothing worked for me, I did the next unthinkable stupid thing!! I uninstalled my MSN messenger - all of it... everything about it that ever existed on my system & then went onto Download.com & got the normal MSN Messenger v7.5... and not realising that this file comes with it an attached sponsor-backing!! And that's how I got this Yupsearch toolbar & virus that latched onto my data & files!! It even comes with it, a high-threat Trojan!!
Managed to get MSN Messenger running to my amazement, but everything else was crashing down around me!!! ~argh~ And now that I've realised what the hell this virus is, I've gotta do so much!! But I don't have time!!
Tomorrow, Ling, Ezra, Roann & I are going for an all-u-can-eat dimsum lunch!! The restaurant is gonna go bankrupt, i tell u!!! harharhahrar... and then, right after that, we're going to Elaine's bday bbq at her place!! I was supposed to go get her a gift yesterday, but decided to give her the butterfly jewellery stand that I wanted to get for myself instead! Kris liked it, so it means that I'll prolly be able to get a couple for myself... if I can find anymore of its kind at Granny Mae's or Wild! But yeah... I'll give Elaine that cos she seldoms get these stuff for herself - she's not very girly girl...
I need to go sleep soon cos I need to get up really early to go do groceries early with Kris. The girls just messaged me that they'll come pick me up at home instead of at the front steps of Carousel!! That'll give me some time to put the shopping away first, make Kris some lunch & even change my outfit!! hehehe...
So, about this computer thingy, maybe I'll have a look at it on Monday or whenever!! I'm really not in a good mood to be online... but we'll see....

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha to all friends, families & muslims around the world... There's no public holiday here in Australia... well, yeah... Sometimes, I just felt that if there's holidays for Christmas & Good Friday for the Christian believers.... there should also be holidays for the people of other racial, ethnic & religious backgrounds. Afterall, the government is adamant about schools not teaching or talking about any particular religions... So, why be so unfair and have only Christmas & Easter?Oh well... it's always Do What I Say, Not What I Do, with this government anyway!! That's why so many don't respect it!!
