Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks
Copied from Neowin: two packages are reportedly circulating online, one the source code to Windows 2000 and the other to Windows NT. At this stage it's hard to gauge the full impact of such a leak.

Recovered
Yesterday Xiu Yu came over and I installed some software on her notebook; either the graphics card or the monitor cable is faulty. I skipped supper with my secondary school friends as I felt unwell.
The 46th Grammy Awards
I missed the live telecast of the 46th Grammy Awards because I just couldn't get out of bed, so I'll wait for the 10pm encore on Channel 5. Yong Tang came over for help with his FYP.
Louis Vuitton Wallet
Today I celebrated my cousin's 6th birthday at Lei Garden, a Cantonese restaurant in Orchard Plaza serving what I consider Singapore's best dim sum. I've tried dim sum from many restaurants, but so far none can beat Lei Garden's.
Thai Glico Dinner 2004
A busy two days building the administration interface for my ITP project. Since my design skills are poor, I went with the Windows XP Silver colour scheme, and I'm authenticating users with sessions instead of cookies, which I prefer.
William Hung Is An Idol
I just had a laksa lunch at Depot Road, the best laksa in Singapore. My dad's car has been repaired since yesterday for $140, though the IDAC chap had warned it could be almost $1,000.
Mom’s Company CNY Dinner 2004
Today I met my liaison officer at SP's cafe; he needed help installing Apache, PHP and MySQL, and showed him my work, which satisfied him. I then met Georgina at 2055 to collect my Heeren card.
The Last Samurai
It's been a while since I overslept, perhaps tiredness or a broken alarm. I was meant to meet Xiu Yu at 10am but woke at 9.30, though luckily my mom offered me a ride to Marina Square.
Happy 21st Birthday Laily!
Yesterday I collected my $500 scholarship from the Singapore Toys and Confectionery Association, an unforgettable event I'll explain. The association sits on one of the streets in Geylang, which made for an interesting trip to pick it up.
An Hai Association’s Scholarship
Yesterday I had a steamboat dinner at Marina South with Serene and company; Terry was effectively our guest of honour, since we rarely go out with him. We tried Super Bowl, nicer than Dragon Inn.
American Idol 3
I've finally resumed work on my ITP project, and I don't really feel stressed. When I get stuck, Google is always a great help; just paste an error you don't understand and answers usually turn up.
CNY Dinner 2004
Yesterday I fixed a serious unnoticed bug in the wp-archives.php page that generated 644 MySQL queries on load. I had lunch with my mom and brother at Great World City; the engine stalled while parking in the carpark.
River Hong Bao 2004
Yesterday Victor and Yong Tang came over and I helped Yong Tang with some ASP programming for his FYP; I've lost touch with ASP since finishing my own. I quite like his idea, a system to check bus arrival times.
End Of Holidays
Yesterday my mom's friend came over for a Chinese New Year visit; each year they take turns hosting, and this year was my mom's turn. Once we're all married, let's do the same.

My Brother’s Samsung E700A
Lunch at Sakae Sushi again, courtesy of mom's $40 voucher, then hunting for my brother's handphone. The $888 twelve-month upgrade at Hello@Orchard wasn't worth it, and Mobile Square at Far East Square eluded me.
Silver Hawk
Caught Silver Hawk starring Michelle Yeoh and Richie Ren at GV Plaza, and it was acceptable enough. Yeoh still looks pretty despite her age. Grabbed light snacks at Mos Burger, where Plaza Singapura's outlets were packed.
Site Updates January 2004
Pixel-Junkies' MySQL server suddenly threw errors today after running fine yesterday. Tracked it down to a DISTINCT keyword in the SQL query, and deleting it fixed things. Hopefully nothing breaks, since it makes no difference anyway.
1st Day Of Lunar New Year 2004
Chinese New Year follows the exact same sequence and timing every year. Visited my maternal grandmother first, then her eldest sister, my paternal grandfather, mom's business client, and finally my grandmother's fifth sister, the usual circuit.
Happy Lunar New Year 2004
While driving to my grandfather's place, a taxi signalled its stop early, so I was ready when it halted. The car behind me horned non-stop for thirty seconds anyway, uncalled for once the passenger had alighted.
Lunar New Year’s Eve
Just woke up on Lunar New Year's eve. Heading to my paternal grandfather's place for reunion dinner: steamboat again, as always. We really need new ideas. I wonder whether our generation will even keep reunion dinners.
Lunar New Year Eve’s Eve
Two days to Lunar New Year. Finally started my ITP project, though I've added nothing to the log book yet. SP is lame; work is work, so why must we write a log book? Pointless.
