Tidying Up

Since Aidilfitri, I had been taking plenty of snaps, but didn't have time to go through them and do the post-processing, let alone archiving them. I spent last weekend getting them organised and now, uploading them to my server for storage as well as some onto my SmugMug and Flickr accounts.

That was hard work. I think it was best to organise my shooting better so that the post-processing would be more organised ...

Up to 10

Finally I had the chance to update my Surface to Windows 10. A much slicked OS on the whole although having only experienced it for the best part of an hour may not reveal all the features in store. And I just hope that both Word and Powerpoint runs well as I do most of my writing on that machine lately. That's the machine which hooks up to my printer in clinic and hopefully I would still be able to print tomorrow!

Otherwise the interface looked more familiar. And I could still switch the Surface into a tablet if I needed to.

I have been hearing great things about Windows 10, so hopefully it stayed true to form ...

#SehatiSejiwa

Merdeka this year fell on a Monday, meaning a nice extended weekend for everyone. I was on call last Friday, meaning I was able to use the couple of days to relax. But, that was not the only event taking place in town. Bersih 4.0 also took place, an event hoping to change the local political landscape for years to come. Or at least that was what we hoped for.

At least the event of the weekend went by without any unsavory incident except for this, and as usual both sides of the political divide would be claiming victory of sorts. But the truth of the matter is, it was somewhere in between and the dissatisfaction of the public on the ruling government was registered. The fallout however, would take time to be seen. And today, we were back to celebrate our Independence Day. And as long as both sides treat today as what it is, then there is hope for the Country.

The Congregation

No! I'm not talking about the scale of bersih here. But my sister and her children joined us for the weekend as we have a family wedding to attend later tonight. And it had been havoc so far.

They arrived just in time for lunch, and after that came the time to hit the supermarket fro some proper grub. I lost count on the amount of ice-cream that they bought. Suffice to say that my fridge is now full. And we probably would leave them at the apartment with the maid when we go out tonight. Otherwise we couldn't stay for long.

After the trip to the supermarket, everybody sat in front of the TV. The flipped the channel and settled on "The Conjuring". Yes, a horror movie! I suspect that all of them would be up all night tonight!

So, looking forward to a fun night tonight. Plus ManYoo would be playing at 11! Must make sure that Anita is not watching it. We drew the last time she did when we should've won!

One Heck of a Race

The Athletics World Championship this year had been an interesting one. And since Anita is a big time Bolt fan, she was following the events closely. Tonight, it was the sprint relay finals, and Bolt would be taking the anchor responsibility for the Jamaican.

They were actually in real trouble before the American made a mess of the final baton exchange inviting Bolt to sprint clear, an invititation which was hardly needed. He was off by at least 5 meters when they hit the tape.

Jamaica gold, American silver, and the great surprise, the home team China running away - quite literally - with the bronze.
