Of shell scripts and jogging

Oops, my Unix scripting skills have gone rusty. Took a few hours to come up with a few simple shell scripts. Still got several scripts to do. Hopefully it’s all downhill from here with my Uni memory slowly coming back to me.

Oh no, it’s been a week since I last jogged. Must try to be more disciplined to jog more often. Ok, must endeavour to jog one more time before leaving for Taiwan next week.

ASP Calendar

Chanced upon this calendar written in ASP: http://www.asp101.com/articles/jacob/calendar/default.asp. Will be test driving it soon for an upcoming project.

Changes at Ann Siang hill

Happened to pass by Ann Siang hill today, and saw some big changes since I last set foot there 2 years ago. Saw this new boutique hotel The Scarlet that has sprung up along the whole stretch of shophouses. (right)

And this is where our favourite lunch joint Abang’s Nasi Padang used to be. (below)

Tambun cookies for breakfast

Mum-in-law just popped by from Malaysia for a weekend visit.

Hence today’s breakfast is the Tambun Cookies that she brought here. Hmmm, not bad tasting, except a little bit dry because of the dried ‘tao sa’ fillings. Need to wash them down with some kopi.

By the way, the Panda biscuits managed to make it into the photo by lurking in the background. My favourite Panda biscuit flavour is strawberry. By the way, just found out from the box that each flavour has a different calories – the highest being chocolate followed by strawberry followed by vanilla. Bet you didn’t know that.

Last tree standing

Spotted this lone tree standing proud in the field that faces Compass Point’s Metro entrance.

Hope that this tree will survive the development of the buildings and complexes around the area.

Breakfast at Ya Kun

Hmmm…. nothing beats starting the morning with a cuppa kopi and kaya toasts.

Jogging

This afternoon, I popped over to Hougang Stadium for a quick jog after attending my friend’s mum’s funeral wake.

And at 3pm in the afternoon, the sun was at its most scorching temperant. You can almost see mirages forming over the running tracks.

I tried to run 8 rounds, starting from the outermost lane 8, 7 and then all the way to lane 1. However, had to stop after 6 rounds due to the heat. Haha, super unfit, definitely not IPPT material (yet).

Anyway, a picture of me after being humbled by the scorching heat.
