I think this'll be the start of a 'Lim Family' tradition from now on :) I completed the blog move from b2 to movabletype yesterday then had to struggle with some additional plugins, now that took me quite a bit of time. In fact, haven't fully incorporated all the plugins yet, will slowly do that over the next week or so, as I'm quite pressed for time *yet again* It'll be another full day again I guess, as I'm going back to Royale Bintang for... General Szern 2004-02-06T09:39:47+08:00 http://www.mamak.edu/~szern/archives/000002.html Nothing much to see right now, as I'm right in the midst of migrating from b2 to MovableType... Shouldn't take me more than 3 hours.. BBIAB :)...

Mandarin Tossing anyone? ;) Its also Thaipusam today, and in Selangor its a public holiday.. Wooo Hooo... then I found out I had to go to a client's place. *&^%$#@! *Sigh* This really blow. I guess that's how the cookie crumbles eh? :cry: I'm really very tired, I thought maybe.. just maybe I could goto Brickfield's for a massage.. No dice.

TMnet Leased Line at 768kbps. Yummy. While waiting for a lamer-dog to complete some room testing (hrmm.. wondering if he's been testing out the beds?) I'm sitting here, blogging away :D (Comment: testing HomePNA room by room is a boring tedious job) You know what. I was at Great Eastern Mall just now, and wanted to go tapau something for my guys to eat. I went to the Information Counter and asked the girl there, if there were any fast foot outlets in Great Eastern Mall. She replied 'No' *&^%$#!@ What sort of...

Phase 1 of the project's about 98% completed... all thats left is some calibration and a week of signal/uptime test using an NMS. Just think about it, by next Friday, I can finally sign-off on Phase 1... *Sigh* however, tomorrow is another long day.. Long long day at Royale Bintang (HomePNA Project) I did however manage to finish the last 2 episodes of Sex and the City (Season 6), beginning to really enjoy it.. problem is, the next season's the last *boo hoo* Oh well, there comes a time I guess...

While waiting for my friends to come and pick me and my daughter up.. I watched 'Underworld', not a bad movie.. pretty dark most of the time tho' nonetheless enjoyable. Maybe, if I have time.. I might also watch "Once Upon A Time in Mexico", trailer looks good... but then again.. trailers always look good :)...

All of us are shot, blurry-eyed and pretty incoherent. I finally reached home at about 4+ am.. slept at 5am... and am awake again at 7:15am I'm sending my wife to the KTM station, she has a luxury express bus to catch at 9:00am to goto Singapore. Sleep... sleep... has anyone invented 'sleep-in-a-pill' yet? I'd buy shares in that company!... General Szern 2004-01-31T00:01:01+08:00 http://www.mamak.edu/~szern/archives/000032.html Today, me and my guys were at Westport. We're basically re-aligning an antenna, pulling some cables and mounting an enclosure for a Cisco Bridge. At around 2:30pm, I rushed down to Royale Bintang to continue with the HomePNA system. My guys are still struggling with a "DFA" in Westport. "DFA" is an in-house joke... Ask me or my guys about it in person, and we'll enlighten you :) I'll post some pix on Westport next week when I can get the camera....

General Szern 2004-01-27T00:01:01+08:00 http://www.mamak.edu/~szern/archives/000028.html Got meself a new pair of prescription eyewear today. Oakley's no less *grin* The model I got was the 'Box Spring', looks kinda wicked :D Lemme tell you, the place to buy this is definitely Melaka. There's this one shop which gave me a whooping 30% discount of the glasses. Now, the max you'll ever get in KL is 10% (price controlled) I ain't gonna divulge which shop this one is, but if any of you are interested, and I know you pretty well.. gimme a holler if you're ever in the market for Oakley's ;)...

To our good fortune, whilst we were there, the host had employed a Lion Dance group to perform. This was no ordinary Lion Dance group, they are the current reigning World Champions (hailing from Segamat) From what I gathered, this performance cost the host a cool RM 18,000.00 ... Must be nice to be ultra-rich *sigh* I took some pix of the performance, you can view it via this link...
