Yesterday, went back office to do some 'spring cleaning'.
Not really lah. Recently bought a storage rack, and new servers will be coming into office next week, so went back with my colleauges Albert, Wee Chee and Benedict to re-do the mess of wires and cables in the office.
While re-doing it, you would tend to find some rubbish, and clear them off. Quite a fair bit actually.
Anyway, we finished about 2-3pm, and everything was back to normal. Servers were put back online and in working order.
So just wait for new machines to come in, and place them into the racks. So cool eh.
This morning, at home, we moved the current TV console out of the way. We had ordered some new sideboards and shoerack, which will come in just about an hour or so. Shifted the old TV console to the dining area. Need more storage you know. Lots of rubbish at home too.
Just cannot throw away the 'SOURCE'. DAMN! :P
TV console area very dirty. 8 years never clean already. Wah piang! Eeeeeeeeeeeeks!
So many things to do hor? Sigh.

Blackout
Seven early eight early, heard a 'pop' sound when i woke up but still in sleepy mode.
Then my fan stopped working. Eh..... blackout?
Ka na sai.
So blur blur went out to check. Indeed, the power was cut-off! The individual switches were all ok, not tripped. The main one did. I powered it on again, and within a minute, it tripped again.
I checked around. Nothing special was done leh. Only additional load is the washing machine at that time. No additional current is running leh.
I just switched off 1 or 2 other power sockets. Then on the main switch again, and it seems to be back to normal.
For how long, I don't know.
Weird. Now now ghost month yet leh ... ... ...

Bye Bye $$
Yesterday went to my cousin's daughter first month celebration.
Far far away in Woodlands.
Had to go fetch my parents and sister. My father was somehow 'missing' until the eleventh hour then appeared, else he would be missing from my convoy ... :P
Actually just met my cousins not long ago, as one of them just got married like 3 weeks back? Still, it is good to meet up relatives at times. Nowadays, hardly meet them, and not even Chinese New Year period sometimes ...
Anyway, here's the picture of the baby girl:
Sleepy girl lah. Hehehe. All babies are like that.
So with that baby shower, I am certain $$$$ poorer.
Gave my mom some $$$$, I am $$$$ poorer.
Today, went to order another server for office. After that, I drove to Giant Tampines to order a storage rack. And then, I went over to Courts to order a foldable table set.
AAaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I am very much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ poorer!
Any donations to me? ;)

First Working Day of 2008
Today is Karinna's first day of work at her new company.
Went out early in the morning (although I don't need to ...).
Had meeting with my colleagues discussing about Hypercube's direction, and possibly working on some brochures to show more about our company. Just some skeleton stuff done, and some meat will be provided by business guru, Gregory.
After lunch, check stuff here and there, and went to Sim Lim to order a DIY Server.
Specification wise is pretty much ok, with 2 QuadCore CPUs, 16GB Ram, 6 250GB Harddisks, I think it should be good enough to run the SAP BI giant. Current system is way too far below. Gosh!
This DIY Server cost $5,260, almost $1,500 more if buy online from 'some brand'.
Hopefully this server can serve us well.
Left Sim Lim around 5pm, so decided to go pick Karinna home. I parked at some small lane opposite Tung Centre, called Karinna, she was busy, and I waited.
My phone rang. Wah! 2020hrs already. If I took a plane, I probably reached Hong Kong already. Sit until my backside pain. If kena economy seat syndrome, I know who is the culprit ... :P
Terok. What kind of first day of work? *yawn*
So poor thing ...

Rubik's Magic Cube
Went to Karinna's ex-colleague's baby twins first birthday party, at Aloha Loyang.
As usual, eat eat eat, talk talk talk, enjoy the sea breeze blahblahblah.
After that, we went to Eastpoint. More specifically, went to V-Hive to look for some furniture. Need to get a storage sideboard near my dining area. Also, need to get a new shoe cabinet to store Karinna's shoes. We're taking fengshui advice to move the current shoe cabinet out of its place. :O
Then came back home. Tired lah.
After watching TV and news, came back to my study room, and saw the half-done magic cube which I did halfway this morning.
Even when during the craze of the magic cube in the 80s, I don't really know the trick of making all the sames correctly. I have to trial and error, twise and turn, whack and roll the cube for a long time before it turned back to perfect six sides.
So this time, there were some instructions provided. I was trying it out, and was sort of stuck, and seemed not to understand how to proceed even with the instructions!
Well, managed to follow the instructions until this stage:
But I think I just happened to read a little closer, and seemed to be able to continue already. *giggle*
Shall work further on that to make it back to perfection.

Hello 2008
Reached home around 3am. The countdown was alright, and I am not referring to the countdown on TV or VivoCity. Don't really care about that. :P
On the way out of the host's home, Wendy was lamenting that she needs to lose the 2kg that she has gained recently. Karinna asked how she gained that 2kg. Wendy said 'Eat lah!'.
As I was walking behind, together with Karinna, I whispered to Karinna, "There's only 2 ways (to gain that 2kg). One is just eat, two is don't shit". Ha ha ha.
Woke up about 9+, read a bit of the newspapers and came to check out my computer.
Alamak, my monitor screen problematic. The 'BRIGHTNESS' adjustment of the monitor just do not want to go away. So one small section in the middle of the screen is just always there to reduce the brightness.
New year must buy new monitor liow ...
Hello 2008. How 'heng' can I be?
