Tech Curiosity

Curiosity Kills The Cat...but that does not deter me from discovering the things around me, especially the ones Pa & Ma like to keep me away from. Don't they know that 'Curiosity Is The Wick In The Candle Of Learning'? I hold on to this adage.

Things around me are slowly being rearranged or completely hidden.

The radio/cd player has been switched off ever since I discovered what the volume control could do. Even the old CDs have been archived and kept in a box; Ma almost threw them away if not for Pa's intervention.

The house phone has been placed high beyond my reach with the volume set to low...I wonder why!

So, whats there left for me to discover?

Remote control! This gadget is a common item in every homes. I have already dissected the TV remote control at our Seremban home, this one is at Pa's kampung in Rembau before Pa took it away from me.


This is one of the few occassion I get to meddle with Pa's laptop...with him or Ma looking over close by. I get excited pressing the keyboard keys and scrolling the mouse. I have an old mouse Ma allows me to play with whenever they are on the laptop and online.


Another gadget I love to play with is the handphone. Everybody seem to have one in their possession...even Atuk finally got himself one. It gets interesting when the wallpaper picture of the 3 of us appear when I press the keys on Pa or Ma's handset. Pa would allow me to play with his handset more often than Ma.


I have also discovered the on/ off button of the TV at home...this Pa & Ma cannot hide it away from me. Out there, I am starting to get the feel of the elevator buttons but not inside a packed elevator...I get claustrophobic...it could also be the strangers' eyes looking at me that set my panic button on. Nowadays, Pa & Ma would get in the elevator with less people inside, if ever possible.

I love this technology stuff, discovering what they are for and getting immediate response whenever I press a button or key.

Hmmm...now which gadget shall I dissect next?
