One of the memories I have about kindergarten and primary school is my late grandfather sending me to school every day. He was always there to walk with me and I actually don’t remember talking much, but it was one of those daily rituals that I remember clearly.

Finally back online!
Was without the Net for 2 days back at PIL’s because SIL had terminated the Singnet account. I wasn’t aware of that for the 1st day, so there was nothing much I could do. On the 2nd day, I thought of connecting a wireless router to the Hubstation and it proved to be more challenging than I thought as I couldn’t get an IP assigned via DHCP.
Turned out that the solution was remarkably low-tech. I just had to turn the Hubstation off and on again to get it to work. Think there is some setting in the Hubstation that remembers the last MAC address that was connected to it. Wasted 3 to 4 hours of my time…
Failed New Year Treat
Thought of bringing my colleagues for a lo-hei treat as some of them have not experienced it before. Went to have salmon yu sheng at Sakae Sushi and it was quite good.
However, when it came to paying the bill, I was “snooked” because my colleagues decided to foot the bill instead since my birthday was just the day before…
Stuck in Sydney
There we were, waiting at Gate 1 to board our flight from Melbourne to Sydney when suddenly an announcement came up over the PA system that our flight failed some engineering tests and had to be cancelled.
What followed was a maelstrom of activity as we scrambled to change flight bookings, hastily arrange for accomodations, and try to make sure everything was in order.
Well, I’m in Sydney now and I’ll be leaving for the hotel I booked last night soon. Hopefully nothing goes wrong from here…
