Quote of the day: Henry Youngman

Americans are getting stronger. Twenty years ago, it took two people to carry ten dollars' worth of groceries. Today, a five-year-old can do it.

Such an under statement.

Imagine my Darlings being able to eat two days worth of food in one day?

This is really dear to our hearts or pockets. Especially with the upcoming elections.

I may not be able to see or provide good solutions but I certainly am able to see when incentives are thrown to the people to buy their short term happiness.

This brings me to ponder, would a good business man run a country in a better state than a politician?

Probably. At least better than a scientist or actor would. I am not discriminating against jobs but what you have experienced will shape what your decisions will be - hammer or iron out your thoughts!

It is certainly a cool thing if Mr Trump gets to the seat, I will support him if he does. Not so for our Singapore ministers though. Have they really been through hardships and live our lives?

I come from a humble background and will always try to remain humble if I can. Why reach for the moon when it is tough to put together a roof over my head. And I abhor those parents who teach their kids nothing about humanity.

If only the world is aware of all the issues: poverty faced by the poor and needy, loneliness by the rich, health problems by the overfed, lack of self development by the young, lack of discipline by the addicts.

And me? Lack of determination and discipline to hold a thought. Where was I?

Oh yes. The young are growing stronger...

Windows 7 - Service Pack 1

Just as Singapore is having its election (another cycle has come to passed), Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is also launched.

It just feels so sick (yes, sick) that they cannot call it another name but Service Pack 1. (yes, as sick as that lump in my throat, if you know what I mean).

Here was what I did:

I went to install it, a good 5 minutes and the restart cleared my MSN history and all that I was doing before the restart. And I got this screen after all the dust settled themselves.

Click on the pictures to view their normal size


And this came up. Yes, my taskbar floats at the top of my screen so that it is easy for me to see what time it is (I don't have a watch and if you want to give me one, please do donate to me at my Support page. )


Then It (by "it" I mean Windows 7) tells me that the installation is successful:

Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for x64-based Systems (KB976932)
Installation date: 2/24/2011 11:07PM
You may need to restart your computer for this update to take effect.
Installation status: Successful
Update type: Important
Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is a recommended collection of updates and improvements to Windows that are combined into a single installable update. The service pack can help make your computer safer and more reliable. A typical installation will take about 30 minutes to complete, and you will have to restart your computer about halfway through the process.

Please do this update!

It will really take a good half an hour to complete the whole thing.
Also, do ignore some of the stupid stuff (like Silverlight or bitlocker updates) if you really do not need it. But do this first. This IS important!!!

Walk in February 2011

Took these pictures in one of my February walks.








They certainly signifies spring!

I am glad I am on track on a few things: exercising, learning and getting more organised about my life.

Started yoga and walking my Darlings further and further. They are in a better shape now (at least not round shape!) And I am also benefiting from these walks. Still drenched with sweat at these sessions but it feels really good!

Have also continued to cook more vegetables for my Darlings and they love it. Even my brother commented that all the vegetables I cook are so crisp and I told Darling No 1 my secret. Will do a post on how to cook nice crispy vegetable dish soon.

By the way. The viewer of my camera is spoilt and it will take up more battery when I take pictures Will need to get new recharge-able batteries soon.

Well enjoy the pictures!
