In April,
Oprah interviewed Maya Angelou on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked
her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was
"exciting."  Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every
day like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her
waist, first. The audience laughed so hard they cried.  She is such a simple and
honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

Maya Angelou said this …

"I’ve
learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on,
and it will be better tomorrow.

I’ve learned that you can tell a lot
about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost
luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights."

I’ve learned that
regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re
gone from your life.

I’ve learned that making a "living" is not the same
thing as "making a life."

I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a
second chance.

I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a
catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.

I’ve learned that when ever I decide something with an open heart, I
usually make the right decision.

I’ve learned that even when I have
pains, I don’t have to be one.

I’ve learned that every day you should
reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on
the back."

I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned
that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but
people will never forget how you made them feel. 

Well, part and parcel of handling accounts from different timezone. Just when its 5.30pm here at M’sia, it is peak hour at Belgium.. signn… and 12 midnight here, it is 5.30pm at Belgium, and peak hour at USA.

So far I’ve got stranded a few times due to certain high severity escalations, which requires a quick resolution. But sometimes in the middle of the "resolution phase", there would be some blank minutes or hours, like awaiting feedback, or rebooting.. etc etc. So how do I kill time?

For me and 2 of my team mates, it will be the Wastepaper BasketBall Championship. LOL… don’t get it? See below:

This is the ball (its the stressball from F5, which is all grey and dirty instead of white. hahaha):

This is the waste paper basket..  aim there and try to get a 3 pointer.. But of course not that close, we’ll try to shoot from 6 yards away. So far my team lead has the best ratio of goals over number of attempts. I’m the worst … hey, I’m not a basketball player.. I’m a football player.

If hunger strikes? what else:

This is abysmal.. took me 2 months to finally realized that my router required to do port forwarding to gain high speed for torrent downloads. I’ve always had the perception tat my residential area had poor infra.

Not until this evening, deemed bored for good that I’ve decided to check on my router’s software.. then only I realized that the port forwarding can be done via an option screen called the Special Application and Virtual server.

Now my torrent download speed shot up to an average of 30kbps, with highest of 40kbps… from a merely pathetic 1kbps. hahahaha.
