Last night, Michelle was off with her officemates to tour their onshore manager who is in the country for a visit. Jeanne and I were with each other from about 8:30PM onwards as Lola and cousin Steph, who were with her the whole day, had to go sleep. We played till she eventually got tired/bored. She wanted milk so I prepared a bottle. But it’s not the kind she wanted and she cried and cried. After some time crying, I tried giving her the milk again and this time she took it and drank it till she finally slept only shortly interrupted when Michelle arrived.
Month: May 2011
Happy Mothers’ Day! It’s the day for mommies so I cooked up a special breakfast: French toast with syrup, Vienna sausages, Moka coffee for myself, and orange juice for Jeanne and Michelle who don’t drink coffee. Yummy!
4 slices loaf bread
2 eggs
Pancake syrup
To make the batter, beat the eggs in a bowl in a until smooth. Some people would add flavorers here such as milk and cinnamon but since it’s me, you can expect a simplified version :P Put a pan or skillet in low to medium heat and add a slice of butter. Spread thoroughly. For each slice for loaf, dip each side in the batter. Immediately put in the pan and brown each side. Serve with syrup and Vienna sausages.
My first choice is of course the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 as they performed pretty well for day-to-day drive and wore out quite long for performance tires. But they’ve become rather expensive and they’re not even in stock for the size I need (205/50/R16).
I got to my desk this morning finding out the laptop has suffered a black screen of death. I rebooted and had to enter my SafeBoot password. Unfortunately, I couldn’t seem to correctly remember what it was and after several tries I got locked out. No worries, I thought. I simply called Tech Support and after giving out the details of my situation, I was told my problem will be escalated to Tier 1. An hour later, I got a call from Tier 1. The only problem is that he turned out to be at a different location. He said he will forward me to Tier 1 at my location. And I waited again, followed up, and waited some more. Getting impatient, I followed up again. This time, I was told that they had emailed me to go bring the laptop to them! How the heck could I have read that email? Doink!
My Windows password (on my work laptop, I no longer have a personal Windows computer) expired and I had to change my password otherwise I wouldn’t be able to login or even send out my daily status reports. Unfortunately, it turns out that the task is more difficult than I imagined. Every time I try to change my password, I get the message: Your password must be at least 8 characters, cannot repeat any of your previous 13 passwords and must be at least 7 days old. My new password satisfied the first two requirements but I couldn’t figure out how a new password must be at least 7 days old. And my old password is definitely more than 7 days old. A frustrated call the the help desk didn’t answer the puzzle. Instead they just gave me a pattern for the password: 8 characters and a numeric character must be in the middle. Totally unrelated to the error message.
