I wanna go Melbourne tooooooo.....

I have to applaud my Dad for learning to embrace technology. My dad’s 66 this year.
He sent me an SMS this morning which reads:

Arrived liao. At Sing time 6.30am. Cleared immig oredi. Now getting rental car. No slp last nite….zzzzz! :(

I was laughing to myself when I read it. I cannot imagine a 66 yr old uncle typing such an SMS message. Using the words “liao”, “oredi”….giving me an unhappy smiley face... haha.

He knows how to use the Net too...to do research. But of course, after much tedious “training” from the daughter…

My parents just flew off to Melbourne late last night. Hence, the SMS content is of such a nature…For the trip, he spent quite a considerable amount of time trawling the net for information on Melbourne. What to eat, what o do, what to see, where to go. Lol.

Hell, he’s hooked on YouTube lor…He watches YouTube more than me!!! He surfs the Singapore Pools website on a daily basis for statistical updates on his football matches before he places his bets.

The only thing he is stopping at is buying things online and conducting business transactions online Eg. Buying movie tix or paying for bills online. He still doesn’t trust payment gateways…haha.

Oh well, as for my Mum, she’s pretty advanced in her SMS use too...just that she does not know how to use the Net… haha. Oh, and she’s 58 this year. :)

I thought since it was sunny these few days, I'd send my office jacket for washing.
I brought a thinner one from home to replace it...

I sent it to the laundry this morning.
And voila....now after lunch, the skies are overcast..heavy grey clouds are covering the sun...
What a nice timing. *rolls eyes*

Interestingly, Ginger will be there as well...on those same 4 days that I will be there...
Maybe I'll give her a ring and see if we can meet up for dinner..

Your dad's really cool at his age! My Dad is 10 years younger, but far from being cool with these IT stuff!
