On Friday, went to my cousin’s birthday dinnet at Marina Square’s Yuki Yaki. The food there is so much better compared to what I eat 3 years ago. At least now the food is self-service and the DIY ice-cream is free flow. Last time, they used to serve you plate-by-plate even though it is buffet. And the ice cream cost like $2+ per cup. Time have changed. LOL

On Saturday, went to mom€„¢s friend house for our last Lunar New Year Visiting. In the evening, met up with Suqin, Laily, Serene, Kee Yong, Jackie aka Wayne for dinner. Ate Fish and Co. As LiXiang and Serene was tired, Suqin got something on, we disbanded quite early.

I spent about 3 hours or more daily fixing and improving my WordPress plugins. If you like my plugins and enjoy the fast support I have given you, do consider to make a donation to me. Thank you =)

Yesterday went to an OCBC dinner together with my mom at Grand Shanghai. The food for that day is kind of lousy but the activities organize for us is quite cool, there is cartoon sketch, Chinese fan painting and photo taking with a trishaw. My mom did a Chinese fan painting and both of us was queuing for the cartoon sketch while they have the lucky draw session. To my amaze, when they call out 8833, I couldn’t believe my ears, my mom’s lucky draw coupon has won the 1st prize. It is all the Chinese zodiac characters gold plated together with a Martell Cordon Bleu.

Personally I don’t believe in lucky draw till yesterday.

Fearless
Caught this action flick on the 2nd day of Lunar New Year. I must say that this is indeed the best Jet Li movie after so many years. I still think he is more suitable for those “Wu Xia” movie rather than those modern day type of fighting movie. It is also touching towards the end of the movie. This movie is based on a true story.

I Not Stupid Too
Jack Neo’s latest movie. Although most of his movies are quite average, but this movie is a must watched because this movie portray a very real life situation between kids these days and their parents, how they communicate and how their parents interpret them. It is funny but at the same time very very touching. Saw some of the guys with watery eyes after watching the movie.

WordPress 2.01 was released 2 days ago. They had fixed about 114 bugs.

» Permalinks have been fixed for weird enviroments as well.
» XML-RPC uploading works.
» Compatibility with older versions of PHP.
» Several WYSIWYG fixes and cleanups.
» Imports now use much less memory.
» Now works with MySQL 5.0 in strict mode.

Today is the eve of Chinese New Year, I have release updates for 6 of my plugins. Some of them are just bug fixes. Please check out the changelog for more information.

WordPress 2.0 Plugin: WP-DBManager 2.01
» download | documentation/changelog
Manages your WordPress database. Allows you to optimize database, backup database, restore database, delete backup database and run selected queries.

There is a SQL Injection Vulnerability in wp-stats.php as stated in http://secunia.com/advisories/18471/

I have fixed the exploit by adding $wpdb->escape($string);

Wallace & Gromit – Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Caught Wallace & Gromit yesterday at GV Jurong Point. Heard some good and also bad reviews about it. But after watching it, I must say that it is a good show. Recommended. It is very funny and cute at the same time, especially those bunnies. Before the show starts, there is a mini movie called The Madagascar – Penguins In A Christmas Caper. Nothing new about it. I guess most of us had already watched it a month ago.

Sony Ericsson W810i
Sony Ericsson launches W810i at the International Consumer Electronics Show 2006 (CES). The design is like a K710i design with W800i walkman features. It will feature both the activity menu and the walkman button. It comes with EDGE, Quadband and a 512Mb memory stick. Sounds good? The cons are that it only has a 20mb internal memory and every other thing else is the same as K710i/W800i. It will be shipping in March 2006.
