Ups & Down's

Life can be full of Ups and Downs. It can be good at one moment and not so good the next. It's just so unpredictable.

I wun be doing my ORD FFI together with pL le... Hope i have let pL down and hope that he doesn't blame me for it coz he could have proceeded to doing it without waiting for me. I just found out today by calling the respective medical and dental center's that the Medical FFI's valid for a month and Dental's for a year. Therefore, the earliest that i can have my Medical FFI's only on march 22. Well, i'll have mine done on march 24th as my dental's on 24th at 9am.

I'm putting up my ORD countdown timer once again. hehe... and talking about the ord timer, i also have one in my office's computer, one with the picture of southpark and it'll startup once i log into the pc... haha... so far, i'm left with only about 31 work days... yeah!

Room Inventory Record - I'm no longer the room in charge for my store. I've handed it over to my understudy.. hhee... Now's left with the petty cash book and the computer account. hehe...

And, i've been given officially 5 days of ORD off. and my leave of 11 days, that makes it 16 days of no-work in all. That means that i'll start working officially part time with ann siang on the 11th of march.

Cheerios and God Bless!

Don's murder: Suspect in custody after 13 years

A Malaysian man wanted for the murder of a gay NUS professor 13 years ago has finally been arrested.

A murder that was committed 13 years ago and shocked the academic and the gay world has resurfaced. The death of Professor Lee Kok Cheong, who was the head of National University of Singapore's English Proficiency Unit, aroused considerable debate among the gay men here and this particular case will be the hot topic for many a few weeks to come.

Besides holding a top academic job, he was also publicly gay. This is the reason why this was such a sensational case especially back in a decade where people were still not as receptive to the idea of homosexuality.

Professor Lee, 54 at his death, was murdered in December 1993. He had lived alone, and for a while his murderers remained unknown and at large. A mystery telephone tip to the police two years after the murder provided them with their first break, and after a few years of investigation, the story finally pieced together. Too Yin Sheong, 26 was arrested and charged with the capital offence of murder. He was subsequently hanged.

Here's the story:

The Professor met Too in a coffeeshop and had invited him to his home in October 1993. Professor Lee made some advances towards Too in the house which caused Lee to feel uncomfortable and he left. However, the Professor was a rich man and it clearly displayed the valuable antiques he collected. Too took notice of them and stored it up for further usage.

Two to three weeks later, Too mentioned this episode to two friends, Ng Chek Siong, 27 (in 1998), and an anonymous someone by the nickname Kim Beh. Kim Beh suggested that it might be worthwhile to rob the Professor, and the way to gain entry was for Too to arrange a meeting on the pretext of introducing Kim Beh to the Professor.

The murder was set for December 12. Ng Chek Siong waited in the car outside the Professor's house whileToo and Kim went into the house. While the Professor was distracted, they went into the kitchen, found some knives and a cord, and with these murder tools, they tied him up, stabbed and strangled him. They then ransacked the house, stealing his ATM bank card. Too later used this card to withdraw cash.

Ng Chek Siong was found guilty of "passively" taking part in the killing of Professor Lee by not doing anything to prevent the murder from taking place and was given 8 years' jail and 10 strokes of the cane for robbery, theft and cheating.

Kim Beh however, was and has been on the run for the past 13 years. He was finally arrested last June by the Malaysian police for theft offences. Released from prison on Friday, he was brought back here and is currently in police custody.

New Computer

At last, i've recived the new pc and i'm using it.

A Fujistu model P321 Desktop. Pentium 4, 2.9mhz, 256 mb of ram, which i paid S$190 to upgrade another 512mb of ram making it 768mb now with a 17" CRT monitor and 80gb hard disk.

I gave the 17" CRT monitor to my dad and i gave him my old pentium 4, 1.7mhz. I took the new fujistu and used back my old 15" LCD monitor.

I fixed up the old hard disk, but it seems that it's not reading so i've to troubleshoot it.. most proberly tomorrow. I've decided to use OpenOffice. It's free unlike Microsoft Office. Maplestory's taking a long long time to download. Can't play it today coz it's still downloading...

Downloaded mIRC, MSN Messenger, winamp, Firefox, Antivirus programs and antispyware so far...

Will try to retrieve my data from my old hard disk.. especially all my songs.. argh.... luckily it's all ripped from cd's which i bought, so it's not piracy.. hahaha....


Nitez ppl.

New Function/Feature

Nothing much happened today.

I'm still waiting for my new Fujistu desktop that my dad won to arrive.

And my camp has upgraded all the computers. Mindef has leased all computers from HP for 3 years. That's good news. No more computers inside room inventory and the computers are so much faster. Pentium 4 with 504mb of ram and Windows XP Service Pack 1.

In case if you haven't noticed, there's now a Live Support button or icon (whatever you call it) under the About Me section. It enables you guys to chat with me if i'm online or leave me a message if i'm offline. This is a trial program which i'm now trying on my blog, bpmc, film five and GRACE's website. If the response is good, i'll purchase it and implement it on all websites that im hosting. hehe...

Okie... got to go... btw, ty the software and let me know how you find it.

Cheers and goodnight. God Bless!
