Introducing Technology

Finally, my parents are eager to learn to be amateur geeks computer literate, this time. For the sake of wanting and eager to keep in touch with sis in S'pore. Its helluva chi-kek to teach geek noobies how to use a computer.

Dad is still ok, considering he just retired few years ago. Mom lost touch with technology ever since I was born (her philosophy for the use of handphone is: as long as I can hear ur voice and shut it up, can d. She doesn't even bother to learn to SMS.)

So, as I was preaching away the techies, question marks sure do rain like cats and dogs on them. Lots of stuff, k? MSN, browsers, e-mails, video conferencing, blogs...er...facebook.

On MSN:

Me: This is like SMS, only you use the keyboard.
Mom: Pfft. (she din say that, just that her face tells me this: Im not even interested in SMS, and now u teaching me MSN?)
Me: All you need is an account.
Mom: So, you need to bank in before u can chat?
Me: Free one lar.....

On Emails:
Me: This is where you send documents to sis....using the attach button here.
Mom: Need account?
Me: Yes, no need pay definitely.
Mom: So, isit like Post Laju?
Me: Er.....faster than that.

On video conferencing and likes:
Mom: I heard that you can talk face-to-face to ur sis on computer screen.
Me: Wah...you know that?
Mom: =__='''
Me: Okok, just have to teach you how right?

On blogs:
Me: I got a blog too, just in case you dono. Free time go read lar.
Dad: I think you better write in diaries.
Me: Why?
Dad: I'm not sure I am going to like it if you need to sleep beside RPK. And your face on TV.
Me: Zha tou.


They definitely need to learn hard, and they are. So, the crash course will go on for the next few weeks before me going back to KL.

Happy learning, mom and dad. XD (this is an emoticon, next chapter teach).
