Polyclinic's Computer broke down

On 10-030-2010, I got up at 7.am because I needed to go to Marine Parade Polyclinic for the blood test. When I reached there, it is nearly 8.am, as I wanted to press the computer screen for the queue number, a man stood beside the computer told me the computer system was broken down.He then gave me a pink card with a number 18. At that moment I was so happy that my queue number was less than 20, but when the technician called the number 1 to 4 to go for the blood test, I saw a group of patients was dashing to the door. A man was shouting at the technician. He complained that he came at 7.30am to get a computer printed queue number 1 yet he was not allow to go for the blood test first. The technician insisted that the computer printed queue numbers were not accepted as the computer system was broken down and he was given an instruction by his chief not to accept the computer printed queue numbers. At that moment those patients who had computer printed queue numbers were very angry and argued with the technician. I advised the man who had computer printed queue number 1 go and find the sister nurse to solve out his case. A woman nurse was then came to find out what had happened.

After some heated argument, she realised that there were two different set of queue numbers with the same queue order were given out. One set is computer printed and the other set is pink cards. She then agreed to let the patients with computer printed queue number to go for the blood test first follow by the patients with pink card queue numbers. At the end my queue number became 36 instead of 18. It took me almost one hour to wait for my turn to go for the blood test.

I found that the officer-in-charge of the Polyclinic lack in experience to handle an unforeseen circumstances.

An officer-in -charge of an organization must be experience, calm and able to give a clear instruction to his fellow staff when an unforeseen incident happened, otherwise the whole organization would be in chaotic state.

Editing Photo

The photo below is taken by using Sony Ericsson Hand-phone Camera. It was over exposed. Therefore I need to do some adjustment. The method is as below:

1. Open PhotoShop 7 then open the over exposed photo.
2. Click (image)(Adjustment)(Levels) to bring down the window, check the preview square, click and drag the right-hand tiny triangle to the left until the prewview shows the brightness is reduced, then click "OK"
3. Click (Image)(Adjustment)(Brightness & Contrast) to bring down the Contrast window, check the preview square, then set the contrast to "10", then click "OK".
4. Click (image)(Adhustment)(Curve) to bring the curve window. Check the preview square, click and drag the striaight line curve down a bit until the preview shows the photo is more clearer and focused, then click "OK".

To-day is the third time I went to East Coast park alone for cycling. The weather is very hot. I felt exhausted after cycling 2 rounds from the Budok jetty to Sailing club. But along the way I have taken some photos as an incentive.

社会新闻

新闻三:
二零一零年二月二十七日，新明日报报道一册新闻，妇女"囚禁"老母，姐妹上门枪人。妇女被指将老母"囚禁"在家一个多月，以防母亲辙销卖屋协议，她的姐姐和妹妹昨天上门"抢人"， 双方僵持十三小时，虽然有警员到场规劝，可是张小姐的二姐、不愿开门，双方僵持整整十三小时惊动数批警员到场，都没办法说服她的二姐开门。
这册新闻显出现代人为了钱，不顾老母亲的感受，把她当着犯人"囚禁"起来。只为了那间组屋可以卖得二十多万元。这位二姐 想吞卖屋的钱，不惜一切，与姐妹翻脸，把母亲当囚犯来"囚禁"。
最可悲的是九十二岁的老母亲，被孩子们当球来踢，她们争得不是要照顾这位老人家，而是她的组屋值得二十多万元。

社会新闻

新闻二:
二零一零年二月十九日的晚报有一册新闻，一位工程师负不起房贷破产，酒后掐母喉，夫妻被驱逐。他说，一家原本感情融洽，后来他在实龙岗买了一间八十五万的公寓，向银行贷款七十万，因无力缴付房贷，在去年三月破产。破产后又回来与母亲同住，怯与母发生冲突，母亲当场报警。警方是接获一名妇女投诉被儿子掐脖子。将他送入心理卫生医院检查。他出院后被母赶出家门。
这册新闻显出母亲做事果断，聪明又勇敢，不会受骇子所利用。 如果她不把孩子赶出家门，将来有一天她就会被孩子反过来赶她出家门。
身为父母的责任是把孩子养育成人，共养他到大学毕业，孩子找到好的工作后，父母的责就完成。以后，孩子的事不用他们来操心。
这位人兄，即然他能厚着脸皮向记者诉苦，说他现在失业，为何不能降低一下身份，去驾德士或巴士哪?

新闻 一:
去年年底，晚报有一册新闻，房子送儿子后被弃，年老父母从住双层公寓式组屋，沦落到住楼梯口。年近七十的林先生，退休前是一位经理，和老伴育有一对子女，一家人住在裕廊一间双层公寓式组屋。然而，几个月前，老夫妇竟露宿在麦波申的学校食品公会的楼梯口。被会务秘书发现:
几年前老父妇拿出毕生积蓄供儿子到美国留学。儿子考获硕士学位回国后担任高职，令父母深感自豪。两年前儿子结婚，两老将公寓式组屋转名给孩子作贺礼，以为可以和孩子同住。谁知儿子接手屋子后，把他们送到出嫁女儿的家，跟着将四十万元组屋卖掉，买下私人公寓过两人世界。老夫妇在女儿家住了一年多，用心照顾孙女，但女儿嫌他们不卫生，不准他们和孙女接触。 一天老夫妇出外回家，发现大门换了锁头，面对 "逐客令"， 只好识趣离开。
这是一件教导老人们要小心提防孩子们不孝的新闻。 无论孩子们如何讨好你，孝顺你，都不可把毕生的储息和财产包括屋子在你有生之年全部给你的孩子。不然就会像以上的新闻那样，落得没地方可驱身。

I bought this foldable bicycle from the Giant Store for the price of $58.90. It is portable. It can be folded and kept in the car boot.

日本商店-Daiso

二零一零年一月十七日
今天本想去盛港新开的咖啡店兼湿巴杀吃午餐，顺便参观那里的湿巴杀。可是到了盛港却找不到那间咖啡店，只好到附近的购物中心吃午餐。饭后到二楼的日本商店买一些东西。梅买了一些洗头用品，我买一个方形的日本碗和一条磁铁带。我用那方形的碗来储藏我的假牙，而那磁带却用来挂一些常用的小工具。
