Another day spent in the server room freezing my butt off. But I'm happy :)

Cos it worked!!! The network connectivity was A-ok... all the way from Tuas to Woodlands through the new Firewall pass the backbone router to the old Firewall, from the new server to the old server. Man was I relieved, Ricky is a real pro at this. Sure glad that I awarded the contract to IBM. Using his approach, the lines need to be swung once only. Come Sunday, there will be no issue with routers ar firewalls, we need to only concentrate on the application. I can even connect to the AVSS Oracle databases without any problems.. phew.. Nor and the CPs were supposed to test out the Java application after that but they were not ready so I concentrated on the notebook and GPRS card.

It was only at 530 that Dilip was ready with some test scripts and programs so we went to the server to test it out. And I had a 630 appt with Vincent for a haircut! Called him up to say I'll be late and then tested.. or rather tried to test but couldnt cos we found out Rebecca did not create the tables using the latest definitions. We abandoned the test and I rushed out of the office at 635 and reached Boat Quat at 7. And then I was made to wait till almost 830. This always happens. I always wait for him to cut my hair for at least an hour every single time. But the funny thing is when he is finally ready for me and start cutting my hair, I tend to forget about the excruciating wait cos he will start chatting on and on about everything under the sun and make me feel as if I'm talking to the kid I used to know in primary school. And sometimes he gives really good haircut. The kind you feel like a million bucks when you step off the seat. But not tonight. Tonight its just so-so. Oh well. I'm not vain. (VV: Not vain my ass)

After the haircut I figured that I was already in Raffles Place and parked right opposite Calif Gym so what the hey.... my running attire are in the car anyway. Ran for 5km then rushed home for Smallville.

Tired man. Was up from 4am watching the Liverpool-Sheffield match. And worth it too, we're in the finals! Time to sleep now, time to recharge.

AND MERVIN QUIT HIS JOB!
