Jump

Are you ready to jump
Get ready to jump

We're definitely gonna get ready to jump, for a few reasons:

One, come this Chinese New Year the family and us will be away on holiday. This is a first and a definite refreshing break from the regular CNY traditions. As the grandparents have all passed away quite some time ago we haven't been going back to their places, and currently come CNY we just have some relatives come over to our home for a simple steamboat dinner.

Where we will be going for our family trip this year, you'll know once we come back. But having a family trip is one reason to jump - for joy.

Two, we've finally got our wireless modem router working. Yet another reason to jump for joy - we're now able to get Virtual Console games for the Wii as well as surf wirelessly on our iTouch. Happiness.

Of course, there's still one more reason to jump, and it's sorta linked to the above reason.

See, given that we've gotten the wireless modem router for our birthday and were puzzled no end as to how to get it fixed up, and after we had lad and Lifebook come over to share their expertise (with no success) we finally took it back to the shop that lad bought it from, to get some one to check it out and show us how to set it up.

The technician updated the software, sped through the setup, tried out his username and password, had some hiccups where it only occasionally logged on and connected to the internet. After a bit of frustration he took out a new wireless modem router and tra-laaa it worked fine for him.

But not for our username and password.

Sigh. It seems that another call to TMNet sometime soon may be needed.

However, after connecting the wireless modem router back we decided to give it another go - and try a variation to our password. And heck, it works. Damn alphanumeric passwords! But this is after the technician exchanged the router for us too, so it could have been that the first router also had problems! :P

Now to jump away before lad and/or Lifebook kills us.
