I'm proud to say that I'd been living on a P4 machine with only 36GB hard disk and 512mb ram for 2 years of my civil service. I did request for a faster PC but I was always rejected by the same reason that there's no more machines around!?

Anyway it's a Windows XP and runs faster than my Dad's Windows Vista! I can run Photoshop and do small paintings but opening a 3D software(Maya) is like waiting for the tadpoles to become frogs.

Hi everybody!

Sorry for the slow updates. I'm busy preparing my visa, luggage, insurance, university information, dental and health matters to Japan. Since many of you had asked me the same questions, I thought I'd just compile everything here :P

大家好！
一直沒更新，實在很抱歉。我正在準備出國的手續，行李，保險，大學資料，等。因為同事和學生們都問我很多同一個問題，所以我想就在這裡全部回答吧！

So today me and my friends went to visit a design exhibition held at JCC. We've never been there so we took a long time to figure that the entrance was NOT along Nassim Road. In fact, it's right next to Delphi Orchard across the road -_-

今天我和幾位朋友到位於Nassim Road的日本創意中心。原本以為是在Nassim Road，結果找了5分鐘後，發現入口原來就在Orchard Delphi的對面 -_-

Lotus Notes is an email program by IBM. Something like Microsoft Outlook which lets you send and receive email. It is essential for civil servants to login to our email everyday, in fact, it is our daily routine. So when the email system is down, it is like NO WORK TODAY! YIPPEE!!!!!! (ya right...)

Seriously would $100 levy really work?

Imagine 35,000 casino visitors in two days. If half are Singaporeans and PR, that would mean 17,500x$100 =$1,750,000 of tax to our government. Looks like our civil servant bonus for this year is looking good :)

Well I think many Singaporeans have forgotten Captain Green Frog, the mascot for Clean and Green Singapore campaign back in the 90s? If you notice all our mascots are lions, except for the frog! So I deduce that the frog must be a lion inside.

Goodbye Froggie!

Looking back at the year of the Ox 2009...
回想起牛年...

I find myself plagued with illnesses such as sinus infection, gastric flu, sore throats, flu and diarrhea... Luckily as a civil servant, I have up to 30 days medical leave. They are nothing life threatening but it's annoying nevertheless and I have to find people to cover me while I'm sick. Even now as I'm typing, I'm down again with flu -______________________-

I'd tried bird's nest for 3 months, yes, BIRDS NEST but it doesn't help to improve my immunity at all. Grrrrrr.........Maybe because they're the cheap ready to eat kind. I find chicken essence with cordyceps more effective but I can't drink it when I'm having sore throat.

Looking at my astrology chart (ziwei) for Tiger year, it seems that it will be another year of illnesses which will be more severe than this year. This means time to stock vitamin pills and buy insurance in case anything happens.

我覺得我好像百病纏身。呼吸道感染，胃傷風，喉嚨痛，感冒和拉肚子都找上門來了。幸好身為公務員的我，一年有30天病假。雖然沒什麼生命大礙，但是還是非常辛苦。例如現在我邊打字邊洗鼻涕，喉嚨也好痛。

我也嘗試喝3個月的燕窩來增強免疫系統，沒錯是燕窩！可是不知道是不是因為都是即食的便宜貨，都不像雞精一樣有效。雖然冬蟲夏草雞精是不錯，不過當我有喉嚨痛時就不能喝飲用了。

看著我的虎年紫微命盤，可能會有更嚴重的疾病。 所以得找一些維他命丸來吃了。保險方面也一定要買。
