I read somewhere that an internet marketeer was so caught up with trouble shooting and solving his technical problems that his product launch was delayed. He said it’s better to let the technical guys handle technical problems rather than ourselves. Well that’s true, I know how it felt like trying to solve my own computer or website related problems.

However when you have no one to turn too, then we really do not have a choice. Take for example my recent experience. My host servers broke down making one of my blog non existence. Every thing is gone, however I have got a back up of the blog in my PC. The problem is I never know how to restore it. My blog made use of WordPress and I was determined to restore the blog.

Being A Father Another Round

May 20 , 2006 another new member is added to our family. She comes into the world weighting 3.5kg and it was a normal delivery. We named her Celine Gee. 14 days earlier I went over to Miri to standby for her birth. On the 16th Celine gave us a false alarm. I remembered that it was 3.00 am when I drove my wife to the hospital. Well she was discharged the following morning. On the 20th, she felt the pain again but this time we waited till 7.00 am ( as the pain still remained) to go to the hospital. Not long later she delivered Celine. Welcome to the world and to our family Celine. Here is a photo of Celine.
