Just a quick blog post today:
1. What I’ve been up to: We just came back from a holiday in Port Dickson. Will be posting photos soon.
2. Biggest Loser Asia: David looks like he just came out of the desert, or rescued from a lost island. Can you really get so thin by just [...]

Failed
The roll out failed. Why? Let’s just say that the performance was not up to expectations.
I spent two weeks at my company’s Ipoh office supporting users during the rollout. The staff were nice. The customers were quite forgiving (at first).
I don’t blame them for being impatient. Some of them traveled an hour to come to [...]
This Is It
We are going to have a major system roll out at work this week.
This new system will be a company-wide exercise, replacing a system we have been using for the past 10 years.
As you can imagine, a lot of preparation and co-ordination needs to be carried out.
All the work we’ve been doing for the past [...]
Exercise Bike
Last night I borrowed an exercise bike from my dad.
At first it didn’t fit in his car, so I told him to forget about it. Then he borrowed a pickup truck from a friend and brought the exercise bike to my condo.
Thanks daddy!
I waited until Rachel was asleep because I didn’t want her to disturb [...]
LCD TV
I want an LCD television. No, I need one of those slim, liquid crystal display televisions.
Every time I pass by an electrical appliances store, I stop and stare at the wonderful TVs they have on display.
I am attracted by the clarity, the high contrast, the modern design.
I imagine playing my Nintendo Wii games and actually [...]
2010
Looking Back
I started the year 2009 in a rather depressed mood.
I didn’t make any new year’s resolutions at all. Not to say that I have no desire to improve myself, but I felt a sense of hopelessness and disappointment with the world.
Despite my pessimism, the year started off quite well for me, career wise. As [...]
Lottery Results
This is the thrilling conclusion to last week’s post about us getting some lottery tickets as door gifts at a dinner.
Here are the four lottery tickets.
See if you can tell me what’s going on.
Anyway, last night I checked out the results, and…
The same scenario repeated four times, for each of the tickets.
I guess my plan [...]
Tang Yuan
It seemed like I wouldn’t be able to enjoy any tang yuan this year.
This sweet delight is normally eaten during the winter solstice celebration.
I couldn’t attend any family dinners, and I had no idea this celebration was coming.
Earlier tonight, Poey Chin went to Sook Fong’s house for dinner (while I was at office having enjoying [...]
Lottery
I attended a birthday celebration dinner for my wife’s aunty in SS2 last night.
At the end of the evening, the hosts gave each of us a little red packet with a lottery ticket inside.
On the green lottery ticket from Da Ma Cai, there was a series of 7 numbers with an extra jackpot number. There [...]
Bad Omen
I don’t know what is happening to me.
First I get a speeding ticket. Before that, there were some financial issues I can’t talk about here.
And yesterday, while I was eating a cup of Mamee vegetarian cup noodles, I sliced my thumb on the plastic cup, while trying to remove the foil.
I tell you, I bled [...]
