I saw this news while traveling to work this morning, peeping behind some other commuters who are reading the Today paper. It just reminds me how fragile and impermanent of lives are.. I got a shock hearing MC King passed away recently, now another has left us... 938 live was one of the few radio stations i used listen too other than Class 95FM and Symphony 92.4FM.
I Really would miss her and her voice. Deborah, you will be missed by many.
I had lunch today with MeeLin and Gregory at Sushi Teh, Holland Village. I had this wonderful sashimi salad and Authentic Japanese Curry Udon, while Greg had Salmon Skins and some Katsu Rice. MeeLin had her Sushis and more sushis. Unfortunately, i couldn't finish my Curry Udon, hence Greg and MeeLin helpped me eat. =)
While I still didn't manage to solve the FTP server using Virtual Users in Linux OS, I managed to complete other tasks given to me. I was awarded 'B' for Conduct and 'C' for Performance. =( GPA dropping soon.
