Blueblack

Awwww... Look at the injured legs.
The bruise is the size of the ball!


Terok isn't it?

Actually, do you think it's my doing?!?!? :P

Futsal

Yesterday Karinna had a company event. Microsoft had a charity even at Jurong West, damn far away.

She's involved in a Futsal competition! Wow! So exciting.
Somemore, their team is an all-girl team. Don't ask me why.

We reached there about 9am, and President Nathan was the guest of honour to grace the event. He also reached there about 9am.

Her team's first match was a walkover-win. Opponent never appear. :D

Well, I left around 1015hrs, went back office to do a bit of stuff. I only came back around 1430hrs, and I got to watch a match by her team. Kinda fun to watch though, but my poor wife, being a good goalie (yes, she's the post-blocker!), suffered some injuries from the wrath of a not-so-impressed all-men team.

Sure win for the opponent, but they played so hard, and Karinna got bruises all around her.

Here's some pictures and videos for pleasure viewing, but the sun was simply too bright for some of the pictures/videos:

Jurong Island

It's been about 5 years since I last stepped onto Jurong Island.
Not that I like to go there, just purely for work. *yawn*

Security wise, of course, still as tight. Application wise to get into the Island, the process is now much simpler. Online application is available! And it can be done almost on the spot (but before you're at the pass gate though).

Anyway, only certain people are authorised to do the application, was told it was done, but somehow we were rejected at the counter to get a Jurong Island visitor pass. Probably that guy didn't do properly, but immediate action was done, and we got our pass by the time we re-queued in the line for our turn.

Not a very exciting place to go, but no choice, have to meet users, so have to move our butts.
No pictures, cannot take picture there. :)

Meeting ended almost near noon, took our lunch at the canteen. At least the canteen area is a very much improved place from the last time I was at that place.

After that went back to customer's site, had another meeting at 4pm. By the time it ended, it's already like 6pm. So rushed out some of the minutes, check some of the information provided, did some analysis, and then it's 7.30pm.

Where got time right?

But at least now the project can see a little more light.
Hopefully, the light gets brighter ... :P

Rubik Cube Solution

I gave a rubik cube to my nephew some time ago.
The cube is now more or less disintegrated. :P

The other day, I gave another to another nephew Eugene. He probably won't disintegrate it since he is much OLDER. :P

Anyway, they don't know how to solve. Neither can I remember, but I have the instructions steps!
Here it is!


In case got problem, another link here:
How to solve the Rubie's Cube

Have fun!

Birthday

This morning, somehow I was not feeling well. My nose was running so far ahead of me, that water keeps dripping downwards.

I was working to get my new laptop in a ready mode. Can't complete until I get some proper software in company to make it more complete.

So after my lunch, I popped an anti-histamin and went to rest in bed. In between, I was interrupted with calls from a consultant from one of my projects.
Was sleepy but still need to entertain the calls. :P

Around 5pm, my brother-in-law came over to take away my CRT TV, to be placed at my brother's home for my mother. Then shortly, we went over to wait for other people to arrive.

As usual, mostly junk food. Tried to eat not too much. At least I didn't eat any fried chicken! ;)

It's for my father's birthday, which is supposedly tomorrow under the Lunar's calendar. Damn irritating, as in originally asked, he said no, he had appointment on Sunday and Monday. Then yesterday said will need to go back and celebrate. Then this afternoon my mom called me to say my dad said don't want to celebrate, and wanted me to tell my dad to continue as what was planned.
Sound confusing right. Just as confusing as when I was told. Anyway, have to get used to it. I guess more complains will come to my ear often in the next few weeks/months to come. heh heh heh

I just take things easy.
Relak. Be Happy. Don't Worry.

Happy Birthday Papa.

Funan

Went Funan yesterday afternoon. There was some sale from Harvey Norman, so I went there to buy laptop again.

Somehow, this time it's a little bit more expensive. But the specifications provided is also different from what I bought last month.

It's still the same TravelMate 6292 (now we have 4 of this model already), just different specifications from the previous time.
It's 2.4GHz CPU, and I changed it to 4GB Ram. HDD is 250GB, too much actually.
It comes with some free gifts as well, mostly not so useful stuff.

One of the free gift, is a 160GB External HDD. I think that is pretty handy.
Can do backup easily that way. Also has some shopping vouchers, which doesn't really make me excitied.

I'll be using this, and my current laptop will be switched around, and will end up having one placed in office as a spare. Somehow.

In June, there should be another person joining us, then will have to do purchasing again.

Freecell

Today didn't go for the cycling as original planned.
Reason: Karinna got hit by ZZzzzzzzzzzz monster so hard, that it simply go past the scheduled timing. heh heh heh. What is new?

So she went for her facial, and I went back to see my parents.
My niece sms-ed me and asked why go there today, and the silly uncle told her it's public holiday, so go there for fun and laughter! ha ha ha

At least I have my laughters with my 2 nephews. That cannot be said totally for the old folks though, as I am still troubled with their problems. :P
Anyway, no problem is a big problem until it cannot be resolved. Everything has some form of resolution, in one way or another.

Nevermind about that. So I told Karinna to go over after her facial, and maybe go cycling after that.
And she came, of course. But cycling? Too hot. Cannot tahan. So go home.

So there goes the cycling plan.

I was just playing Freecell earlier. I prefer freecell to solitaire, as it involves more of the brain cells. :P
I used to have a record of 72 winning streaks.
I just managed to break that. It's 73 winning streaks now, and going strong too!

See my losing streaks? Only 3.
Good eh!?!?!? :)
