Free Professional Antivirus

6 Jan

For those of you who are running outdated antivirus software or running always-free versions, Grisoft is offering AVG 7.5 Professional for free. The offer is valid until 17 January 2008 and only for personal usage so grab it fast as AVG 7.5 Professional retails for US$29.95.

Those running AVG Free edition should consider upgrading as the Professional version includes advanced scanning and scheduling options. Also, AVG is a lot better than Norton and McAfee in my opinion as it is a lot leaner on the system resources.

Liang Jing Ru Concert – Part 1

4 Jan

Last Saturday, I went to Fish Leong’s concert thanks to Xavi’s invitation. Here are the pictures from the concert, enjoy! Apologies for any unclear pictures!

It’s quite amazing to see what the audience are doing. We thought that we were watching a movie, and not a concert. See the number of newspaper readers? Well, probably it was because one of the sponsors were MyPaper, and they were giving copies out.

 We were sitting in the S$130 seats that were on the left side of the stage. Fish Leong is like a little girl, very pro in 撒娇, looking very cute in the process. She kept referring to the second level (cheapest tickets) as “你们在山顶上的人,听到吗?” and that starting from now on, they must start to save for her concert next year (if any).

 I couldn’t help smiling during the first song. The cameraman decided it was fun showing the back-up singers’ face every few seconds.

These team of cheerleaders is from Republic Polytechnic, which doesn’t impress me much really. Don’t get me wrong, but I just find that their co-ordination was way out of sync, even though they do earn some points in making a human pyramid during the song.

Liang Jing Ru’s stylist fixing her hair accessory. Look, they even have that boat that often linked to a romantic row around the river. Anyone know what do you call that kind of boat?

The lights were very pretty.

This is the first of the acts which performed while Liang Jing Ru went for her costume change. The couple was fabulous, swinging effortless round and round, without any precautionary measures (such as a net beneath them). They drew quite a few gasps from the audience.

Viwawa Wahjong!

1 Jan

Now, just what is Wahjong you ask? Well, Wahjong is one of the games from this website called Viwawa, where players meet for sessions of Big 2.5 (aka Dai Dee), Match It, Stwack, Checkmate and my favourite Wahjong (aka Mahjong)! I have played Big 2.5 (once), Match It (a few times) and Wahjong (many times), so basically what I want to say is, play Wahjong!

For me, I have played card games like Big 2.5 many a times in real life, but one thing remains the same – I hardly win. So no prizes for guessing how I feel about this game. And for someone who is always the first one to K.O during those RPG games, I usually would prefer puzzles, such as the Match It games. However, do note that there are only two themes to this game – Food or Coca Cola. Unless you are playing on a smaller board, please do not choose the Coca Cola theme. That is, if you want to have perfect eyesight because the Coca Cola cans pictures are so small! Overall though, this Match It game is a real challenge if you like memory games.

I am no pro at Mahjong in real life. However, I’m a level 5 in Wahjong though the highest level I ever saw, was a level 13 player. There are four levels of difficulty – you can either choose 0 tai, 1 tai, 2 tai or 3 tais to win. One important thing you should note that the 0 tai difficulty level should not be selected, as there is a bug (makes one of the players game instantly everytime a game starts) which started appearing about one week ago.

This is my highest number of tais, what’s yours?

8 Tais

Come join Viwawa now! If tyou don’t mind, you could also leave down your email so that I can send you an invite, which means I get 500 points for referrals!
