Came in the office today. Found that my Colleague have already upgrade our company existing 512k Singnet internet lease line to 4MB QALA Lease line. So happy have finally get rid of the super slow internet in the past.

Have heard that they stay until 4 am in the morning. Wah Feel so bad. Last week upgrade Phone System they also stay till around 4 am. Even though it’s a sat and not working next day I still feel bad as I’m also part of the Team or rather Department. Just that I’m more on the programming software side and I use to do what they are doing now.

So now I got a new task, it’s to test the line speed and report if it’s not in our expectation. Have been trying to download a few big file. So far so good the Speed I tested download from microsoft website reach around 450kb-500kb per sec. It’s already near to 5mb line speed. Also tried to download a 7.5 mb driver from Pac Net and it finish in less then 10 sec. Will try again in the afternoon and monitor for a few days. ermmm…… Now then realize that having a fast internet connection is indeed shiok.

Today had planning to go swimming with my bro-in-law at Yishun Safar Club with my 2 yrs old son. He had never step into swimming pool before. Both me and my wife have never been for as long as I remember too.

We waited at the void deck at 10.30 am and reach our destination around 11 pm. On the way there, we saw some drizzling and in our heart OH SHIT.

Luckily it stop when we reach there. Upon reaching there we got one problem. Is to think of a way to trick my son into wearing the swimming suite. He got the tendency of rejecting all the things that he have never see or wear before. While walking to the changing room, I point to him the pool which got a lot of children and ask if he want to play there. He say: “OR”. To my surprise he oblige when I tell him he need to wear this if he want to go to the pool in the changing room.

ME:”You want to play in the pool”
My Son: “OR”
ME: “Then you must Wear this”
My Son: “OR”

Carry him out and my wife ask me in surprise how you manage to make him change?? I said Haha, he oblige leh, didn’t make any noise. On the way to the baby pool he stop suddenly then notice the floor is too hot, so carry him. Put him at the pool side we got ANOTHER BIG PROBLEM. He don’t dare to go into the pool. Don’t even dare to sit at the side. Spend another half an hour just to trick him into the pool LOL.

A young couple was playing with their baby daughter who can’t even walk also tried to Cox him into coming in. After a while I think they get bored and go away saying “Mei Mei boring leh” haha

When I came back from the big pool saw him in the water as my wife manage to trick him into going in.

Left about 12.30pm, felt so sleepy upon reaching home. Had some lunch, put up the jokes and went to sleep

Overall it was fun day.

Initially when I started Blogging I have spend a lot of time looking around which blog to use. I find it really confusing when I search at the search engine. There’s just too many around to chose and you don’t know which one is the right one for you. I have started to notice this blog app call wordpress when I was searching for hosting plan. Almost all the hosting company comes with free wordpress installation. Then in the end I have decided to use wordpress as it’s free and it’s the most popular blogging platform.

After Installing wordpress I find out that it actually got Emotion Icon Shortcut as in you type a face it will automaticlly change to an icon. I got a hard time remembering the 40+ shortcut so I tried to create a reference on a page but in the end all the shortcut become the face :/ . So I thought of a way, I key it in a post in Blogspot.com hehe.

I search and found out the Function to all the shortcut and have added another few icon of my own :).

If you are a wordpress user, and you may find the reference useful. It can be found here at Wordpress Emotion Icon Reference.

Recently Singapore have impose a rule that all the open air Kopi Thiam and food store will have to allocate a yellow box for all smokers. The allowed allocate space is 20% of all their Outdoor tables. So in the end a Look Like large space will only have about enough place to put maybe 4-6 table for smokers. And Draw a Yellow Box to indicate it’s the smokers area. If the Shop allocate 6 tables for smokers then he must have enough place to put 24 tables.

During lunch time today. As usually I lit up my cig. After my food. Just after one puff someone tap on my shoulder and tell me that I need to be careful if I wan to smoke there and he pointed to a place drawn with yellow box ;P. Shit I forgot that the rule is already effective as in 1 July 2007 :buns:. While I was picking up my coffee and shifting I can saw the surrounding people start smiling :brol:. I think it because it’s just starting and many people forgot. Not use to the change yet. I agree that it may be good to have a place for smokes so as to avoid others breathing in secondhand smoke but Isn’t the place allocated too small??

Hai… Right now wanna smoke also need to see place. I felt as though smokers are being labeled as unwanted and cast aside :mad1:. Just because our habit is not the likes of majority of the people then we are being labeled. I can’ only say one thing. UNFAIR.
