By second day of CNY, it is already fully bloomed. Cool huh?

Gong Xi Fa Cai
It's the CNY season!
As usual, first day of CNY, visiting relatives.
In the morning, I went to pick my father from my sister's home, and drove him to my brother's home. Then I went back home, and get ready to 'visit' my parents at my brother's home. :P
Anyway, when I went back home, my brother-in-law and his wife were already at my home. This is the first time they came over, because my mother-in-law is staying with me. They didn't stay long also, time for visiting blahblahblah ...
Went back to my brother's home around 12 noon. As usual, I am always the earliest. The rest of my siblings didn't arrive until 1plus or so.
Centre of attractions would naturally be the 2 babies, Matthew and Casper. hehehe
Some pictures taken on CNY day.
In the evening, we went to visit my wife's relatives. Very far away in Sembawang, just few hundred metres away from Sembawang Park.
Well, CNY ah CNY, just made me poorer lah that's why ...

Hyacinth
Ahhhhhh.
Yesterday besides buying the Fu Lu Shou, we also went to florist to get something.
In the end, got a Hyacinth.
Had wanted to get Narcissus actually, but those available were like bloomed already, so we switched to get something else.
It's a purple coloured Hyacinth. Wait till it starts blooming then I will get some pictures of it.

Eyes
This morning didn't go to work.
Had to bring my mother to see doctor at Raffles Hospital.
She had been complaining about her eyes/nose/tongue problem for a few years, seen many many doctors, but somehow never been able to 'cure' her.
Besides these, she has some other problems as well ... ...
Anyway, brought her to Raffles Hospital, reached there around 11am. Apparently, her friend recommended her to go there. Expensive place eh? :P
Checked her eyes, doctor said her eyes were very dry. Typical index figure for normal person is about 20, my mother's index is only 4! Gosh!
So the doctor suggested putting a kind of plug in one of the 'glands' (not sure if this is the correct medical term for it), to stop the flow of our usual eye moistures (basically tears lah ...) down through the nose and into the mouth area ...
Too chim already eh? Basically, that's the mechanism of fluidity movement in our eyes, and down to our throat area.
So putting the plug there can help to retain these fluid in the eye area, as such, the eyes can be a little less dry.
So knowledgeable huh?!?!?! :)
So now have to observe to see how the progress goes. If need be, there's another 'gland' in the eye (each eye has 2 outlets) that can be plugged. Have to monitor the dryness.
After that, drove mom back home, and then decided too late to go office, so went back home to work from home.
I have a proposal to send today. hehehe
It's CNY eve, not sure yet if we would be heading down to Chinatown tonight.
Hmmmmmmmm ....................

福禄寿
CNY is just a couple of days away!
Today, left office around 5pm, went to Race Course Road to get something.
We had been 'looking around' for one. Saw it the last month or so, but didn't buy at that time.
When decided to buy last week or the week before, it was gone.
So today, I called up the shop, it's was available.
I went there, got the one which they had lacquered it (according to them, the colour can be more lasting ...), tried haggling for lower price, but failed.
Note very light ok. *grumble*
Here it is, the 福禄寿 at my home:
This picture was taken with flash light on it, kinda bright eh?
Next time then take another pic in the day time without flash, maybe look better.
Still got a couple of things to get, but no hurry lah. Taking my time ...

Programming
Yesterday was quite tiring.
I have not done programming work for a long time, and in actual fact, I have never been in programming line. Only did programming work during Uni' days. :P
Actually, just HTML programming and javascript work, not those super chim chim programming.
Me not the solid programmer. Anyhow whack only.
Anyway, there was a requirement from one of our new clients to incorporate the planning layout with some capability to choose reports, somehow. I don't know the full details of it yet. Just gathered some info from my colleague who was having some problem working on that.
So yesterday was mainly whacking my brain with ways to work that. Actually can be very simply if doing simply through web. But with SAP, things can get complicated, and indeed it did.
Initially had tested purely from html, it looks fine. Incorporate it into SAP's in-built web interface with BSP, cannot work.
So have to search around, and re-work many times before it finally can do what I think we had wanted it to be, at least initially.
By then also a bit brain-tired. hahaha
Anyway, the codes are still pretty much weak, and will need more fine-tuning to make it nicer. *shrug*
Somemore, already told customer we are not good at doing all these javascript and html programming work, so they should understand. :P
Don't understand?
Nevermind, I just feel like writing. *bleah*
