Product Description
I love nothing better than surprising the readers of my short stories with a big twist in the end. They think the story is going in one direction and, bang, it ends up some place else. This is true of “A Dish Served Cold,” a crime short story set in Arizona. If any readers can guess the ending, I’d love to hear from them (through my website)!… More >>

A Dish Served Cold

This morning as I was trying to open my Microsoft Outlook 2003, it gave me this error:

An extension file failed to initialize. Can’t open the file: extend.dat. It also says the file may not exist.

Strange as it was working fine the day before. After doing some searching, I found the solution to resolve this issue. Here is what I did to remove this error.

You have to change the folder Options – View – Hidden files and folders – Show hidden files and folders and then Apply. This will allow you to view hidden files and folders.

You will need open My Computer – C drive (normally your O/S is installed in C) and look for the folder:
\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

If extend.dat does exist, just rename the file to extend.bak (make sure that you do not run the Outlook). Once you have renamed the file, you simply launch the Outlook. It will re-create a new extend.dat and everything will be back to working order.

Guess that somehow the extend.dat got corrupted and by doing the above method, it will just re-create a new extend.dat and everything is back to normal.

Hope this helps if you happen to have the same error as I had.

Many Happy Returns

I’m the kind of person who would describe myself as a very reclusive person. I can be your friend in school, talk to you on end for hours, but that’s something limited to only school period.

When I’m at home, I guess the best thing to describe me is: Fulfilling social obligations has seldom been high on my agenda.

I’m not the kind of person who will willingly organise outings, not the kind who will constantly contact you. In fact, if my friends didn’t ask me out, I probably would not even go out with them at all.

Yea, you might say, you’ll lose a billion, if not all, of your friends in time to come. Friendship needs to be nurtured, needs to be something you work at. But then seriously, I don’t care two hoots.

Its not that friendship isn’t important to me. On the contrary, I treat my friends like gold and they treat me like shit.

But I just don’t get the point of constant contact. Like talking on the phone every single day, or making it a requirement to meet every single week.

To me, I meet you once a month, once every two months, and we talk like there’s no tomorrow. Thats the kind of friendship I’m seeking. And unfortunately, I’ve not had many people who understand what kind of a person I am.

Summing myself all up in one word: Homebody. I’m a true blue homebody. I can get stuck at home, reading my books, playing my games, doing my stuff. I’m hardly perturbed by anything.

But thats that, and I truly just needed to get that off my chest.

Anyway, I met up with 2 of my friends whom I’ve known for ages (over 5 years).

So here are some pictures. I camwhored with only one of my friend cause she stays really close by and so we sat underneath the void deck and talked for ages.

Thats the 3 of us in front of a mirror at some toilet. HAHA.

And the rest are just pictures of me and my friend cam-whoring. Shall not be adding captions. (:

Ok, thats the end of the camwhore. Anyway, just to entertain you all..

BROWN BANANA!!

XXXXL CRAB!! (compare with the size of my daddy’s giant hands)

Sorry that the last two pictures are so small. I didn’t know my handphone didn’t have enough space and it compressed the photos and blah blah blah!

Anyway, till the next time! Toodles (:

WARNING! This post contains mostly photos of my friend and I! So it could be quite boring for some people! HAHA.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU’RE BORED AT LUNCHBREAK/WORK!?!?!?

TAKE PHOTOS!!

I swear the time passed like flying saucers speeding through the air when you take photos!! So anyway, here to share the photos my friend and I took!

Just in case you forgot who I work for…

I worked for EBISBOSHI SHOTENGEI! At Iluma Shopping Centre Level 4. Where they serve authentic Japanese food! There are like I think more then 4 different Japanese stores in that one place! So very very cool, and you all can go check it out!

I personally have never eaten there but two of the attractions of the place is:

1) You can be served by French maids! (Who are not from France obviously…this man once asked me if they came from France…)

2) The menus there are electronic! Meaning you tap on it and your order is taken! It shows you how high technology things can get!

So yea, we were first tasked to give out the remaining flyers!

Then when the flyers ran out, we had to walk around the mall and in the vicinity of the mall with these rather huge and eye catching posters!

Me and my friend with the posters! And yea well, we sure were eye catching! People did begin to notice the place and ask for directions on how to get there. So we did our job well!

At the end of the day, my friend and I would take photos in the toilet!

Then during our long long long 2 hour break, we found a place to sit and take photos! I’ll let all our retarded photos do the talking. Kind of lazy to think of captions.

Oh no!! My friend is kiapping my head! HAHAHA.

Haha. sorry for being so eh… I don’t really know the word for it! Anyway, thats the end of our photo taking frenzy!

Unfortunately, we’re no longer working there for now!! Because they are doing up new posters so they don’t need us for now.

Maybe they’ll call us to go back and work soon! Because it was EXTREMELY fun to work there! Sort of! Haha. Everyday was a new adventure I guess.

But I think the people there may appear aloof and cold at first but they care for their workers and they seem to provide quality service! Hopefully my friend and I will get the chance to work there again!!
