The hacking had started last Wednesday and had stopped yesterday, at my new place. Fortunately I was not there during the hacking but inspected the place on Monday evening and on Wednesday evening. It looked like a bomb had fallen inside with all the dust and debris.
I had a site meeting with the interior designer today, amidst the clearing by the workers. I am now home, writing this on my new laptop, which deleted half of what I had written. What the heck happened??
Unfortunately the walls could not be knocked down yet, pending approval from the authorities, which I hope will be accomplished by next week. According to the work schedule, tiling should commence next week for the next three weeks. I have arranged to move in by 27 August, and will hand over my old place by 4 September.
Lately, I have been shuttling to my new place, getting the hang of the bus connection, and taking the opportunity to try out the Food Park and restaurants there. A new Cold Storage has opened there and the shops are being upgraded. So it is quite a nice place.
Last Wednesday, had some friends over to try out the steamboat restaurant. It was pretty good value for money at $23.50 per person. We had a big buffet spread offering us steamboat, BBQ, Japanese Shabu Shabu. In addition, there was tempura, soft shell crab and even curry chicken and rice as well as fruits and dessert. The steamboat had both spicy and non spicy soup. Unfortunately, there was too much MSG, and I ended up drinking a lot of water. The BBQ mutton was so tough and hard that I had to throw it away.
I had fishhead curry last night with my air conditioning friend, who will instal my air conditioning for me. The curry was not that nice unlike the Indian curry.
The Thai restaurant was not bad, when I tried it with my son and my wife. The pineapple rice and the tom yum goong were nice. I had lunch with my son today at one of the grill meat place. The pork rib was not all that tender. Wonder what their steaks are like, because they are advertising their Angus steak.
Of late my spirit has been going up and down like a yoyo. I am feeling my age. I have been concerned about the renovations and the impending move. I have booked the mover and booked my handover date. Next week, the boxes will be delivered for packing. As I clear and throw my unwanted stuff, I will pack what I want. I am very apprehensive about all these and hope I can cope with the chores. When I look at all the stuff at home, I am confused and wonder where to start. I hope things will turn out well for me.
This laptop is driving me bongers because some of my text went missing. So I better sign off now.
Till then....

Hi Dad,
Use a separate keyboard and mouse with your laptop, and raise the laptop to your eye level, like a docking station, this makes the typing easier and not so sensitive, and you wont keep losing your text! : ) If you raise the laptop to eyelevel, you wont get a neck ache looking down at the laptop!
: ) I am sure you'll be a pro in no time!

I think it is the mouse problem because it moves where I do not want it to move. I have a small optical mouse which is better. The laptop gets very hot. Still need to get used to it.
