Sigh, So Shagged

Today spent 4 hours at a user meeting, definitely one of the longest meeting ever, as we just took over this new project, we had to go through whatever that was outstanding when we took over, it's quite a long list of items, including the outstanding service requests, we also had to go through the problems reported by users after takeover, bloody hell just the outstanding problems took us around 3 hours, the system owner was always digging into the details and finding new things for us to do, gone through the whole list and only managed to close one case, wah piang, ended up with even more things to do. Don't know next week in-camp training is considered lucky or not, even if I can MIA for one week, that doesn't mean I won't have anything to do when I come back, I bet there will be a lot of things waiting for me to do, shit.

Try Order from Foodpanda.sg

Boring Sunday, don't know where to go so stay home and rot. So earlier on I found out about Foodpanda.sg, seems like they have a lot of partnerships with local food stores, so they offer a large selection and they display clearly the minimum order and delivery charges which is very useful. I placed my order at 3.15pm, and I just received it at 4.30pm, not bad, I ordered from Canadian pizza by the way, smells good, going to eat now!

Google Chrome 64-bit

Source Finally they have a 64-bit version, I am now using it and let's see how much difference it is from the 32-bit version. And recently I encountered a weird problem with the 32-bit version, sometimes Chrome will get stuck at the top left corner of my screen, not sure what I can do to solve the problem, haven't try uninstalling but since the 64-bit version is out, might as well upgrade and see if it's better.

Using Java Keytool to Manage SSL Certs

Set path to java bin folder The full path is something like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin That is because you need to be able to access the keytool.exe in bin folder: keytool.exe Run cmd as administrator Make sure you run cmd as administrator or else you won't be able to modify the cacerts: Run as administrator Change directory to the cacerts directory In the command prompt, cd to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\jre\lib\security In the directory, you will see a file cacerts, the certs are all stored there. Listing cacerts In the command prompt, type: keytool -list -keystore cacerts When prompted for password, try changeit , if that doesn't work, try changeme .

Data Centre FM Job Not Easy

For those of you in the IT line I'm sure you know what FM means, it's Facility Management, refers to people who work with servers, network, database, basically people who keep your infrastructure up and running smoothly. Today I went to our data centre to deploy some stuff, got stuck there from 2pm until 7pm, was in the server room for about 3 hours and I cannot take it, the aircon is very cold to keep the servers cool, humans are not meant to be inside, and these FM guys have to work inside for long periods because it's their job to check stuff to make sure it's running, they also have to handle many service requests from customers, not easy. I think maybe data centre FM job is tough, I've seen some in-house FM and their job is quite relax, if nothing happens they can just surf net, play games and etc. Speaking of which, I still haven't finish what I was supposed to do there, shit, so tired, have to go back again, really hate that place, cannot imagine how pe

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
