Roaming in Singapore

Not the person but calls roaming for my daughter's handphone number. Since she will be working there, I went to DiGi to get the roaming facility activated for her. Since her line is basically new (6 months required) I have to pay a deposit and they will keep a copy of my passport.

Why is that so troublesome to apply of roaming for a new line when my other DiGi line has roaming and my payments are up to date. The sweet lady replied, "It's a new main line. Either wait for 6 months or pay deposit and submit a copy of your passport".

Grrr, haiyah... I went back to bring along my passport to have it done. What a hassle!

What happen to Yahoo Mails?

Sometime in November 2011. When I clicked to download yahoo mails to my desktop client, these 'emails' kept on pouring in, like nobody's business, thousands of them. Just unbelievable. It never ended so I just closed the email client. What gives?

My Daughter - Job in Singapore

My handphone rang and I answered. It was from my Princess. She is in Singapore now and will be heading back to JB soon. She informed me that she will be working, starting from tomorrow. Congratulations Jacinta on the new job.

She is someone who will go far to get what she wants. She has her plans laid out for the next 10 to 15 years. Its good she has heeded my advice to think ahead and plan ahead so she can achieve her dreams.

She wants to be as self supporting as she can and I am really proud of her. I can only wish her all the best in what she plans to do, to chart her paths, to see her dreams fulfilled.

In the pix on the right, she is the one in Blue.

Owwwh!

I need to update my profile. Haizzzzz.

Things have changed since I last visited this blog. Since I can snatch a bit of time here and there, I better do a bit of updating before i go into another period of hibernation. Just joking!

Time waits for no man, including woman.

Chinese New Year

I spent my time in Kuching, Sarawak for my Chinese New Year with my daughter. Yeah, I did get my kind of 'jet lag' on arrival, meaning, I was worn out...

Anyway, I could not really relax as I have to do cleaning up on the house. The house belongs to my MIL. As she was not around, I just did all the clearing up and washing and preparing the rooms we would be staying in.

The days went by without too much excitement, at least until my other siblings and their families arrived. Then its food food food day in and day out. Well, do not blame us as we were away from Kuching for a while and we missed Kuching food.

CNY finally came and gave us rain from midnight till a week or so later. That is the Water Dragon making its grand entrance. Don't play play huh! It was consiered the wettest CNY i knew for a long long time. We did not really go visiting except to a couple of houses. My main intention is to look-see look-see and taste the original Sarawakian food.

CNY came and went and we went our separate ways back to where we came from. We were the last to leave Kuching, that is 31st of January, back to home sweet home in JB.

To sum it all, a boring trip....

2012 - I am Back!

It has been a while since I last posted in this blog of mine. Guess I am pure lazy.

Time has changed and this is 2012 now. Time to buck up and do something to keep our world spinning, spinning with my rantings, my curses, my whatnots...

Comparing to others I considered my life OK, though I would like it to be much better than it is now. Anyway, i must not be too greedy as to ask for too much. I do not want to end up in Tg. Rambutan with the rest of those worry-free residents. Hmm, maybe I should consider that option? Nah! I still need to rant till kingdom come.

Anyway, time to go for now, while i look through what I have to post next. Hmm....

Bulldog On The Loose

Who let out the BULLDOG?

The moment he appears, everyone get stress. The way he talks, the way he looks at you and the way he moves. Yes, he is BULLDOG!

Who wants to whack this BULLDOG? Who wants to bite this BULLDOG?

I have bitten this BULLDOG a few weeks back. I almost vomited. so yucky!

Now who's gonna catch this BULLDOG? And tame him?????

HP Desktop.......

Hey, I have to get a HP desktop for my dau.

Why? She has a notebook already!

Well.....
She fried her Toshiba harddisk and motherboard. Super. The repair will take a while. In the meantime, she started eyeing my Acer.....

The moment she looked at it, my harddisk also gone bonkers. What a pair of eyes she has.

While waiting for her Toshiba to be repaired, I have to get another notebook for her as she needed it for her school projects.

I got her an Asus for temporary use.

Know what? She fried the Asus harddisk too. Oh my!!!!

Luckily by that time, her Toshiba is back after repair. Whew!!!!

Here is how I got her a HP desktop. Hopefully not as easy to fry as the notebooks.

My wallet is getting lighter by the days.... sigh!

Hey, My Right Thumb Tingles.....

Yes, you read right. It tingles and it is not a good thing.

I started to have the tingling sensation on my right thumb a few weeks back. Thought it was just the occasional blood flow problem. It turned out that this is serious. The thumb tingles and my arm started to have this dull pain.... and feeling weak. What the "tooot"!!!!!

I finally made time from work to go see the doctor, have x-ray taken. Gee, the doctor said I have cervical Scoliosis and spondylosis, whatever. It is a condition where your vertebra bones are not straight but slightly curved. Mine curved towards the right so this side is pinching the nerves if I keep my head at a certain position.

I have to experiment a bit to understand how the tingling sensation happen.

I was given a month's supply of medication to help improve the condition.

Now the bad news. If things get worse or not showing any sign of improvement after one month, the only option so far is to go for operation to remove parts of the bones to relieve the pressure on the nerves.

I do not like to go under the knife but do I have a choice. Permanent nerve damage which can happen over time may cause partial or full paralysis of the affected arm. Now that is scary. And it is my right arm.

When the time comes, I may go for second opinion. Until then, just have to do my exercise to strengthen the muscles on my neck and with the help on the medication, hope for the best.

Hey, my typing speed will be halved if my right fingers are not working. Shucks!

Maybe someone can help type for me.

a jOB fAR aWAY

I should just consider myself lucky to secure a job in Johor, after having moved here around mid-December 2008. A lot of people will be losing jobs soon and in the future as long as the economy is continuing to be in bad shape.

Well, I did not expect any until I received a call asking me if I was interested to join this company doing some project work at Teluk Ramunia. It is Oil & Gas related, so I said why not, if not to see if I can last as long as the project.

Now, you may have wondered about the ‘can last as long as the project’!

Well, this worksite is about 2 long hours drive away from JB. Yes, I should have stayed there and only come back to JB every weekend. The thing is that the place is super duper boring. It is a very laid back kind of place, a fishing village, supposed to be famous for its king prawns. Wait till you see the giant prawn. I will try to get a picture of it so remember to come back to this site.

Any one interested to take over?
