Since our beep beep beep beep adventure, "someone" wanted to MOVE me. Can you believe that?? MOVE ME and not them beeping thing. But since you all stood up for me (thank you all sweet people) and made her feel bad for even contemplating abouts it, she changed her mind.
Support Man came this morning while she was halfway stuck in her works. Punctual on the dots. Her silly face was still stuck in them computer (which didn't beep this morning). The neighbourhood doggies sounded the alarm of a introoOOder approaching to me. But I was a wee bit tired this morning (cos its a Tuesday) and didn't hear their alarm. When i heard it, Support Man was already at the gate. I secured the house and gave him one of my loudest bark that sort of threw him sideways. *BOL*
Anny put me on my chair in the hall and ask me to zip it up.
Support Man was a bit stuck up. Didn't smile at all. Probably it was because i spooked him
I ran into the room and took my seat on my poang and WATCHED HIM. Just in case he try to be funny and sit on my poang or lie on my bed
can you hear me growl? i got my eyes on Support Man
Anyways... Support Man came and change 4 rams (whatever that is) and a tiny fan in the big white box on her table. Now her CPU is all beautiful again and soundless :) I can sleep in peace now.
Thank you Support Man. Even though you were a bit stuck up, you did finally managed a tiny smile when you left. But NO cookie for me. Can you believe that. NO COOKIE. Next time, i'll surely bite you.
woofs!

Footnote to Puddles: No rubber was used when the CPU was opened :p
Time and tide waits for no man.
Time.. how it just flies by. First it was wednesday when i was doing the Wordless Wednesday Not... and then suddenly it became Monday again. I think i might have fallen into some time warp and when i fell back out to reality, it is Monday. Goodness.
Since it is a Monday today, i got up early to fire up the system. Have a cuppa coffee and tried to get a head start in things. By 9.10am, the dreaded *BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP* came back on and my whole system shutdown. I turned pale as i did not pull one of my working files into the external yesterday night. I spent hours working on that file yesterday and now its probably gone. Even though my stupid gut (which is always right) was nudging me to pull it into the external, i choose to not listen to it. I must learn to listen to my gut more.
Suddenly it hit me that i needed a moment in the loo. Off on my merry way with a bunch of stuffs to read. Poo moment sometimes helps to put things into perspective :) Does these moments help you think too?
Anyways... first off was to check on the warranty of this computer. 107 days left. COOL! The smartest thing my IT guy did when he purchased these computers for us was to extend the warranty to 3 years. For a small amount of money, extending the warranty does help now.
Next was to call the support line. This time i didn't storm out of the house with the CPU under my arms and run to the service center :)
This is what transpires between the support guy and i this morning.
My experience with customer service was good this morning. He was most helpful and kind. He tried not to laugh when i told him i didn't know where is the RAM. *LOL* But you see, i didn't want to open up the CPU and screw things up. The insides of the computer is a maze to me. I would probably rub something and something else would come off instead.
I got a problem now. My computer is in my bedroom. My working table is beside my bed. This guy is gonna come over tomorrow and wonder how i work with a big bed beside me and a dog and dog bed beside my working table too. *LOL* I guess we have to move the bed and the dog tonite.

Timberlake: Hello. Good Morning. I am Timberlake.
me: Hello.
Timberlake: Can i have your service tag number please mam?
me: Sure. Its.. bla bla bla bla....
Timberlake: How can i help you mam?
me: My computer will not start up and its starting to beep againnnnnn.
Timberlake: Did this happen before?
me: Yes.. it happen few months back and i sent it to your service center.
Timberlake: Can you tell me the color of your power button?
me: Power button?
Timberlake: Yes.. the light on the power button. What color is it?
me: Wait. Let me turn it on and see.
Timberlake: Ok mam. Please turn on your PC.
me: Blue. Its Blue. Ops! How come it is starting up? I did try many times just now and it was just beeping away and it didn't start up. Now it is starting up. (Now i am sounding like some idiotic fool)
Timberlake: Its ok mam. (Trying not to laugh)
me: I am so sorry. It did Beep this morning and refused to start up.
Timberlake: How many times did it Beep?
me: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP... that is 4 beeps (sounding idiotic again)
Timberlake: Please hold on a minute and let me check what seems to be the problem when it beeps 4 times.
me: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
Timberlake: Yes i hear you mam.
me: sorry.
Timberlake: 4 beeps means its probably a problem with your RAM. Its probably dusty.
me: Oh.. what should i do? I don't like the beeps to come back.
Timberlake: Now i would need your help to shut everything down and open up the CPU. Use a rubber and rub on the golden part of the RAM.
me: rubber? to rub? You mean eraser?
Timberlake: Yes. The normal eraser.
me: But i don't know where is the RAM.
Timberlake: Oh. Its ok then. We shall send our support guy to you tomorrow and check on your system. And if the RAM is faulty, we shall replace it for you.
me: Oh.. that's very good. Very kind of you sir. Thank you.

move? me? whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
All this froggie ever did was just being in its natural habitat which was the old wooden rickety old kampung house. It was just minding its own business when all attention turned on it. We were probably bored to the skin with just UNO and steamboats. A sudden change of pace like the mere existence of a frog turned the tables and it became the major attraction.
I wonder if this shivering froggie was a prince in disguise. No more dared give it a kiss... and and... it was just waiting. And waiting... and waiting.
Ops! I forgot this is supposed to be a wordless post. I tried... i really tried. *LOL* Now the evil fella will come again and remind me that today is Wordless Wednesday.
Pip Pip Pip Pip...
Do steal these buttons if you are rooting for Pip...*shhhhhhhh*... don't tell Bunny yet.
Both Pip and Bunny be racing for the World's Fastest Dog on February 5th, 2011. Don't miss this. Check out their training. Both of them are training pretty hard... (i think).

We interrupt this service for the moment to share with you this.
Yes.. that's our dear lil furry. Hairless. Furless. And i think he's quite happy about it. His big smiles show that i ain't lying to you guys.
Dommy went for a long over-due grooming session yesterday and he was there for hourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsssss. Sundays are not good days to send him for grooming as the wait is much longer and he has to be there the wholeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee day.
It takes about 30mins to get to his groomers at another side of town and 35 mins to get back. The 5 mins were needed for the drinking of water in the car and for the tummy rubs and for the apologies for letting him wait so long. *LOL*
Well... he is much much lighter now. Still fat but definitely lighter.
We are sorry for not posting much. Up to them noses with work. My colleague just came back to work today but we shall not tax her too much. Her eyes are still red and not fully healed.
Our apologies for not dropping by more often. We'll be coming around soon :) Oh.. we have a giveaway coming up soon. Do drop by ya :)

That is a piece of simple paradise which we went to last December. Back to the basics and closer to nature than i'll ever be on any given day. Star gazing, getting bitten by bugs and the only form of entertainment we had was a pack of UNO... *LOL*
Best part of this place is... there's no reception for any mobile phone networks. If you want to get away for a while, check out www.serendah.com. This is in Serendah, Malaysia.

We see a lot of snow happening everywhere and mostly where all my doggie friends are. All we are getting here is rain, mucky mud and worms. We are most envious of all the snow that you guys are getting and so yesterday, we asked our friend Booker to send us some snow.
Booker sent us the picture above and shared his snow with us. That's so very sweet of him and Asa. Here... go check out his winter wonderland.
Thanks Booker! Your mail made our day.
woofs n licks,
Dommy
