Idiot Outrider!

After the long drive in this morning, I though I deserved a treat. Decided to head out for sushi after the last patient on my morning list. I was hungry anyway and the drive in this morning was horrible.

I didn't mind the queue at all. What got on my nerve was when the outriders came around with a VIP in an entourage and started telling people to push off. The policeman also got the cheeks to kick out at a kancil who could not move away due to the long jam. Such irresponsibility.

I wished that I have the number of the Policeman and tweet it off but they took a left turn out of DUKE after I left towards the NKVE toll. Such action was really uncalled for! Idiots!

One Album at A Time

Now, after the dust settled, it was time to start uploading the photos from the Singapore trip. The SmugMug and Flickr migration was already done last week. I had started uploading to Facebook since yesterday, and I preferred to upload them one album at a time, since there were so much interaction.

All together, there would be about 300 photos in all. Five albums, so, it would be 5 days. I would also be updating a segment on the blog about the trip as well, and put it on the drop down menu up top. That would take at least a couple of hours!

At least, I should have some free time after work today …. looking forward to that …..

p/s - by the way, I use Aperture as part of my digital workflow as you can see ....

Morning Sit

Reached work early to sort out patients from recent call. A few of them needed review this morning. Consequently I had to drive into Subang, then turn around to PJ to give a talk for a Pharmaceutical group.

I ended up waiting for the traffic to subside. The last things wanted would be to be stuck in traffic rushing from one place to another. So, time for some tea ...... and good morning .....

Rushing Through

It took me a couple of days, but finally I can say that I've recovered from the weekend on call ordeal. Sorted out the admissions and would be doing some preparations or a teaching session tomorrow for one of the Pharmaceutical company.

Clinic today ran smoothly and I would actually packed up for home rather quick so that I could finish the slides and have some time catching up with the Grammy which I recorded yesterday. Here is rushing everything through .....

Titanic!

Within the Marina Bay Sands Complex, there were a casino, a huge shopping mall, theaters, cinemas, an MRT station, as well as a museum. The museum caught my eyes as it was exhibiting artificers recovered from the Titanic. I just couldn't resist it.

As my boys were settled after the trip into town for shopping, I had a couple of hours to sneak out. I forked out the SGD24 for the ticket. And it was money well spent.

The exhibition showcased the big liner from the inception, right through the building, the famous tragedy as well as the aftermath. It introduced those who perished in the sinking, as well as the glory days of Trans-Atlantic traveling. Truly fascinating. And through to the Singaporean efficiency, it was very well presented and I have to admit, the artifacts from the bottom of the sea were the bonus. The exhibition would still be interesting without them.

The venue was also rather understated. It did not looks as big from the outside, but it was actually very roomy. I spent about an hour going around. At the entrance, I was given a boarding pass of a real passenger on the liner, and at the end, I got to learn their fate. My card was on a third-class passenger looking for a job in The States. He perished unfortunately.

At the same time, there was another exhibit on a different floor about time-pieces presented by Cartier. Not interested!
