今天,你为了我们迟了去学校。我知道你今天会更迟回家。所以今天我不敢交代你早点回,我不想你感到压力,我只是希望你安心做完你的事,知道家里有人在等你平安的回来。还有,诺诺今天不用睡 sarung,我让她睡床,,虽然间中有哭一下下,不过情况有比较好了,至少也睡了两个多钟头。不用担心了。(可能可以给她戒掉sarung瘾了)

今天是元宵节,也是中国情人节。祝你情人节快乐!

Toshiba quits HD-DVD

Posted on February 20th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Computer / IT.

Yes…this might be the hottest news in the technology world recently. Toshiba has announced that they are officially quiting the HD-DVD format, leaving few others players behind.

In case you are wondering…this it the world for the next generation high storage DVD format, between HD DVD and Blu-Ray (Sony).

Toshiba’s HD DVD is backed by Paramount, Universal Pictures, Microsoft, Sanyo, and NEC.

Sony’s Blu-ray is backed by Disney, 20th Century Fox, MGM, Dell, Panasonic, and Philips.

In Japan, the TV news even conduct a very comprehensive war analysis between the two formats…but my memory not so good to remember all. In summary, Sony Blu-Ray seems to have more promising future, with HD DVD dying slowly. PlayStation 3 is definitely playing big help in promoting Blu-Ray format.

You can read CNN news on Toshiba quiting the HD DVD format at:

My sister’s friend, Louis, who happened to browse ShaShinKi.com few days ago only found out that I am the brother of his friend’s Adeline (my sister) last night. My sisters and nieces visited his house for CNY gathering.

This is the shot that they took last night. :)

I can see ShaShinKi.com on the monitor screen. Thanks Louis for emailing me this photo. ;)

(Sis, you seems pretty tired…please take care of yourself. May God bless you and protect you, and give you peace. In Jesus name I prayed. Amen.)

Ricoh Dumped Caplio…R8 coming soon!

Posted on February 20th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Family.

Yes…you read the title right.

Ricoh has decided to dump Caplio…which is a good move.

ricoh-r8-01.jpg

No, Ricoh is not discontinuing their digital camera series. They just decided to dump the Caplio name and make it more direct naming with the upcoming Ricoh R8. No more Ricoh Caplio R8… :P

ricoh-r8.jpg

Personally I think this is a great move and wise decision by Ricoh! Simple name is always easier to remember. R8 sounds elegant, Caplio isn’t.

Japanese New Year Party

Posted on February 16th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Family.

Japanese celebrates their new year according to the Christ calendar. So 1st Jan is their new year.

Every year, local community in Saijyo, Higashi-Hiroshima, organizes new year party for foreigns and locals. My wife and I join the party during our first year in Japan.

The location of the party is in the same building as where we live, so it is very convenient for us to go down stairs and join. In fact, we just overhead the announcement on 13th Jan 2008 morning, so went down to check out the party in the afternoon.

Here’s some photos to remember…this should be our last year joining this party. Get to learn some Japanese culture (wearing kimono, tea, shu fa, etc.).

At the entrance. :)

Quite some visitors to the party… :)
