I find it hard to look for picture that associated with TWO from my collection.

Yesterday morning, when I was on the way to work, I saw the TWO.

The building in the picture is Suntec Tower 2, which located near Temasek Boulevard. Suntec Tower 2 is one of the five towers of Suntec City, one of the largest commercial development in Singapore.

Photo Hunt: Row

I used to work in computer room at one of the local multinational company in Singapore.

We have rows of server racks that houses hundred of servers and equipments, and rows of computer monitors for monitoring purposes.

Probably, many people might ask how do we monitors so many servers.

No, we don’t check them individually.

Because we have monitoring software to help us. The software that will send alert or warning messages to the computer console when unusual situations exist on the systems. That’s make the job easy by just monitor a few consoles regularly.

Happy 42nd Birthday Singapore

Today, is the 4th times I celebrate the birthday of Singapore as Singaporean.

On 9 August 1965, under the leadership of Mr Lee Kuan Yew Singapore withdrew from the Federation Malaysia to become and became an independent republic.

Under then PM Mr Lee, Singapore developed into one of the cleanest, safest, and most economically prosperous cities in the world.

Happy 42nd Birthday Singapore!

Warehouse Books Sale at Carrefour

Not many people know Carrefour Singapore is selling books.

Currently, Carrefour is having a warehouse clearance sale at Suntec City Atrium from 03 Aug to 12 Aug. There is a small section with a large selection of books! $6 each.

We bought some books.

I bought Ubuntu Hacks: Tips & Tools for Exploring, Using, and Tuning Linux at $6, while my China colleague bought 4 Oracle books at $24. Another Malaysian colleague bought some children books. If we were to buy the same amount books from book store, that could cost us more than S$300.

Other than IT books, there are quite a lot of story book for children, novel for adult and cookbook.

Some of the books are disfigured, but you can find many in good conditions, and I think it is really worth it!

So, look out for next Carrefour promotion, OK.
