Blue People

Today, while on the way back home, as usual, was listening to Love97.2 Radio Station. They have this segment called "真的吗?", where they will tell the listeners of some 'incredible news', and let listeners decide if what they said is true or false.

Today, they talked about whether listeners believe that there is a tribe of blue skin people living in the world. Of course, before they ask for you to believe, they will weave out some tales (if not true), or reports (if true) for you to decide for yourself the truth in their words.

So the gist of the report is such that there is this tribe of people living in a reclusive area in Kentucky, USA, and the people have blue skin!

Sounds unbelievable.

But it is TRUE! Smurfs are alive! Nah, just kidding. Smurf is still a myth.
Blue skin people, or more known as the Blue Fugates, are very much true!

The Blue People of Kentucky
The Blue People of Troublesome Creek

But the fact is that, no more blue skin people currently in the world, unless he/she has some disorder somewhere.

So much for extra info for the day!

BBQ

This afternoon went to Bhamo Road, Karinna's childhood playground.
Brought my mother-in-law there, as she wants to 'supervise' movers to clear the house. Move out already, so better to clear the house cleanly. :P

Afternoon, sent Karinna to attend her Angel class, then I drove to Sim Lim Square to walk walk a bit.
Didn't really buy anything, but bought an ointment to see if it can help with my occasional back aches. Age is catching up, pain is inevitable. :P

Went to Sook Fun's place around 1740hrs. Expected myself to be one of the earliest, and it was indeed so. Her son, Ryan, is still as hyperactive as ever!

Slowly, some of our friends came along. SiangChuan, ChinKwok, WeiLee, JoiKian, GeokYan. When I left, GeokYan just came only, and that LeeHong hadn't arrived even! I had to leave earlier to fetch Karinna from her class, then went for second round of dinner. See? My tummy is maintained! :P

It dawned on on me that perhaps something can be done to collect contact lists of all former classmates/schoolmates. I am still thinking about it.
One word. Lazy.

LUP

My HDB block is currently undergoing Lift Upgrading Programme.

I wasn't exactly very happy to have it.
Reason being it will NOT be lift landing level. There's no way to make it lift landing level to my door. It's a little hard to describe here, but my block's design is such that the doors are at half-level from the main corridor.
So die die will also have half-level of stairs to the new lift in future.

It's not that I can't climb or what. It's just so stupid, that the decision is to continue the mistake (of not having lift-landing level), although there is some effort in minimising the impact of the old mistake.
And worst of all, it doesn't come cheap. It's more expensive than some other blocks, which do enjoy lift-level landing, all simply because our block is mainly 5-room flat dwellers.
I cannot deny that, most people who would say YES to the LUP, would be the families with old folks at home. Less steps mean less stress on the old people.
If there's any other reason, that family must be crazy. :P

I once even thought of a way to make it lift-level landing to our door-step! But that would a much massive work, which would take years and years probably.
Anyway, it's just my 天马行空 imagination.

So now the lift upgrading has been going on for close to 6 months, and some of the main structures are already up. For my particular unit, it's still playing 'Lego' to build the lift.
Here's it:

Phone Number

Just did something interesting earlier.

Will be meeting some of my OLD friends (I am YOUNG) this coming Saturday. Gonna have a BBQ at Sook Fun's place. Everytime also go there 1, heh heh heh.

Then these people want to look for people whom have long lost contact already. Then I actually nowadays also lazy to call people here and there. Not like last time, got thing no thing also chin chai find people talk talk. :P

So I told them I will go scoop out all my old data (actually, wedding cards of friends who invited me before lah ...), and will try to check out if any of the numbers or email would still valid right now.

Took a while to find Lee Hong's wedding card. Found it, no email in there. Only some numbers. Called her number, not in use any more. Called her husband's pager, obviously in the wrong era already.

Then I called her husband's home number. Must be his parents home. It worked.
Stole LH's hubby's number from his mother, and called.

When he answered, I actually told him: "Ehhh... actually I am not looking for you lah, I'm looking for Lee Hong ..."
D'oh! Cartoon right? Long time no do such silly things.

Anyway, managed to find her! C@@L.

Chatted with her for a while, then shoot off emails to the other people, including LH also lah.

Anyway, not sure who else will appear.
Maybe would be like Joi Kian's CNY gathering like that, 1 palm can count already. :P

We will see ...
See what see ???
Giam cai char loti...

Basis

Over the weekend, I was busy. Not BUSY BUSY, but busy.

Was installing another SAP system, remotely from home.
Wasn't smooth, the system somehow keep stalling after some time, and I have to keep checking and repair the work.
I had to keep doing repair work almost 10 times, and sometimes not sure whether to continue 'waiting' or not.
So I had to constantly give myself a deadline to estimate end time of certain running process, then repair the work if needed.
I have to use all my SAP Basis knowledge to resolve this issue ok!
A bit 夸张, but who cares? :P

And finally, on Sunday morning, managed to get the system installed, and up and running.

However, still have some other problems. Can login into the system, but keep getting kicked out after sometime. No fix timing intervals for that to happen, and no special things happening at that time to be kicked out. It's just so intermittent!

I guess it's some network issues, but I cannot confirm much yet. And it's going to be troublesome to troubleshoot this problem; see how, I'm going to patch the system tomorrow to see if it helps.

If that helps, I'm going to kill SAP systems. @!#$@#$%^Y^%^I^%#@%$^&*$#@^

Lo Hei

Today (actually, technically it's yesterday), went to meet up with the usual group of friends for an annual dinner during CNY.

This year's dinner is a little late, usually we have it within first week of CNY.
Doesn't really matter. It's the company that counts. Catching up for a bit etc ...

This time, dinner was at Peach Garden, opposite Novena Square.
We had YuSheng, Peking Duck, SoonHock steamed fish, some kind of prawns :P, some vege with 豆腐, and some 腊味饭.

Didn't bring my camera, just took an after-attacked YuSheng picture. hehehe



I think probably next time we'll get an old friend to join back.
One which was somehow 'lost' through the years ...
