anything or whatever

So now that we have Anything and Whatever selling in Singapore. This is really great.

The other day when my wife asked me to buy some soft drinks as she felt like having some. And so, being the good husband I am, I asked her what she like.

Yes, you must have had the same good old true blue Singaporean's answer
* Anything
* Whatever.

hehe .. guess what I bought back home ..

I read on the paper that the drinks sold much better then it was expected Today. And that the inventor is expected to comes up with newer version. So what might the name of the new breverages would be call?

Of cos you know the answer lar, if not you are not a singaporean lor.


Anything Lar
Whatever Lor


really no kidding! How many times have you said "Anything Lar" and "Whatever Lor". And of coourse, it's against the Singlish grammatical rule not to use Anything with Lar and Whatever with Lor.


so stay tune for Anything Lar and Whatever lor.

recap

ok , it has been busy, really busy. hasn't been putting in effort to blog. so I am ...

i think it's good a thing to blog something, at least months (or years) down the road, I can recap on what has been.

ok .. the free macbook that I had, it fall onto the floor just less then 2 months I had it ...

dun ask me what happened, it just happened.

the screen doesn't show anything any more. but i am still able to ssh in when it dhcp it's IP.

sent in to apple to ask for repair, as I thought it is still under warranty. but now. they say it's not within scope for apple first year warranty.

managed to rsync my files and back it up on my linux host.. still waiting till I can afford to get a new mac.


chinese new year is round the corner, i took a 2 weeks leave, starting today.

i hope it can be a real resting period. I haven't rested for a long while.

the 2 period when I was out of office last year, it was because for
1) my new born
2) perform my nation commitment, NS duties.

it would be really nice to have a break, away from work. since it seems to be more political in office nowadays. since the inception of ranks.

still miss the old company, where everyone is equal, in term of office social status. everyone is more friendly then.

the inception of rank? well, it does not do well to everyone. direct match to previous job profile? well, i dunno. the way i look at it, it seems like there are some mismatched.

well for me, i don't give a damm about ranks and profile. it's abt the skillsets. Like my OReilly mug, which says "It's not who you are, it about who has the best code"

I will work harder this year, as like all previous years.

Current Interests in :
* virtulisation - solaris zones vs vmware esx
* rapid delivery of build servers - new sets of scripts
