Routers Woes

To think a somewhat reputable router going at a discounted price would do great, what a mistake that had been.

Well, the router i got from IT show, Aztech Wireless-N router had been problematic or the cause of my wireless-less problem (eg. unable to get ip or connect but connection is okay when cable is directly connected from modem to desktop) for the past few days, aside from the faulty / inconsistent Motorola modem (inconsistent linkage from modem to desktop).

At least the Starhub tech guy came, switched a new Motorola SB6120 modem and now it’s working fine / smooth. As for the Aztech modem, he tried getting it connected, went through the admin page but still can’t get it working aka no ip and linkage (but my laptops are able to detect it). In short, very problematic.

Thankfully one problem down, thanks to the tech guy.

At least one thing is for sure, I would stick to Linksys from now on, esp. seeing my last Linksys modem cum router not giving me any major issues and had been ‘alive’ for 3 years until this week.

Sigh, oh well.

Gonna go pick up a new one later.
Hopefully less or no problems.

Plain or Choco induced happiness?

Doesn’t matter which, it’s still happiness… :)

*****

A lovely afternoon out with DD, at City Hall area.

A late healthy lunch at Meschuns, having their smoked salmon sandwich and wild mushroom soup with a pineapple juice. As for DD, he had a chicken Caesar wrap, pumpkin soup and carrot juice… Rather filling meal and total for both was around S$24.

After which, a trip over to Cathay Photos to check out the sling bag i’m tempted to get. It’s light weight and convenient for daily use, which i feel, would motivate me to bring out my baby (50D) more often than my trusty Kata backpack (more suited for oversea trips).

Now to decide which color it’ll be and when.

Strolled, laughed and made our way to Chocolate Research Facility, at Millenia Walk… It never fails to excite the mind and taste buds, seeing all sorts of chocolates, from plain dark chocolate to tiramisu chocolate, and in uniquely designed boxes :)

Oh, not forgetting some of their merchandises, like the chocolate lamp cover.

And while i was lost in WWW checking twitter, DD surprised me by paying for it and presenting me with this:

Their Tiramisu chocolate in leopard prints box!

Literally gave him the O_O look while he grinned and handed it to me…

I was really happy to just be out spending time with him and he made it a whole load more special… meows at dear :)

And in case you are wondering, the chocolate tasted great!

Smooth and rich with Irish cream filling, yummy :)

Although it was just 4 short hours of time spent but really enjoyed it and i hope he did too :)

Thanks dear, for the lovely chocolates, time spent and effort to make me smile.

Random updates

Well a random update before leaving for half day :)

Seems like a few sudden changes in the team we are working with, loads of department heads switching roles and moving to other fields. Which will affect us quite a bit, but that’s part of corporate world like one of them told me yesterday.

Since it’s unavoidable, then we will just have to deal with it head on…

Aside from the above…
Found out some rather amusing things and comments based on another team’s action and fb profiles.

I just can’t understand why some have to attack people they work with, over an event result. It’s sad to know they are unable to acknowledge others’ strengths and abilities, constantly belittling other teams.

Sad, is such behavior.

Maybe it’s because of such people and behavior, we learn to appreciate nicer people around us and learn to be true / nice.
