Malicious SMS - IS THIS YOUR PHOTO

-
IS THIS YOUR PHOTO sms message has taken down many mobile users for just one day. Unfortunately, Janelle got it too and she did the click on the link and got affected. She doesnt know how the malware works till I explained to her but was after she had done the corrective action. 

Jan: Mum, did you know about the virus?
Me: Did you get it too?
Jan: Yah! 
Me: From who?
Jan: My friend!
Me: Did you click on it?
Jan: Yah, I didnt know.
Me: Oh dear. Do you know what it will do?
Jan: ??
Me: It will send out the similar SMS to all your friends in your contact list and con them to click the link.
Jan: Oh shit!
Me: What did you see after you click the link?
Jan: I see many advertisements coming in none stop and it is annoying. 
Me: What did you do?
Jan: I uninstalled the Photoviewer cos it keep giving me the advertisements.
Me: Did it stop after that? 
Jan: Yah.. 

When I had this conversation with her, I have no idea what is the corrective action to be taken but I think my girl is observant enough to spot the App that is giving her the problem, nail on it and get rid of it. Well done Jan!

Skyler like the pasta but not the lobster so we share the lobster instead but we only share the half lobster after that none of us wanna waste our tummy space for it.  The dessert table are full of beautiful dessert.  We finally remember to get someone to take a family shot for us. Infact, our table is full of foo...

I always dream to go for it but I hate running/jogging. I dun have the stamina to do even a 1km run. How to go for 10km? I must be crazy! Yes, 48 now and I dun start having crazy thought and things I will never get to do it. The begining of the run was because a colleague who hardly exercise said he will join so people like me of same category also signed up to support him. Furthermore, he will be walking and not jogging, which is same as me. WALKING. We started late because we waiting for you and me. Starts around 7am, the race for 10km run started at 6.30am Feeling shiok because you only got to walk like a big "boss" in the middle of the road as if you own it at this moment. Must enjoy it.  We still walking to the starting point which like we walk for another 1km. Take a photo before we start.  Taking picture along the way since I am walking. I feel like a tourist then doing a race but I have doubt how am I going t...
