Finally...
Even now he has difficulty saying it...
when he was running the transportation portfolio, he did the same with COE, ERP, etc...
Somehow, he comes across arrogant, I'm not sure if he understands that each time he makes a decision and brushes off feedback/complains (famous... market forces to decide....), that the policies and statements actually hurt many Singaporeans.
What was he thinking when he made those decisions on pricing of HDB flats... bake the cake and eat too!

Hamlet.... To Be or Not To Be...
My son playing Guildenstern...
We enjoyed it very much... at first I didn't think much of it because they did not have much time for rehearsals. But these kids are talented and really played their roles very well.
The boys you see here are also basketball and american football players. My son will also play football this fall.
Great job kids!

In San Diego for work..
I'm here in San Diego and have been here since Mon... working at the ETA Annual Meeting & Expo at the San Diego Convention Center.
It's a lot of standing and talking, my feet are killing me, I need new shoes.
But the area is beautiful where we are, it's called the Gaslamp Quarter, its the historic part of San Diego downtown.
Lots of restaurants and parks, and very close to the coast just along the Harbor Dr.

This is where I'm staying... Residence Inn Marriott... rooms are not too bad, breakfast isn't great, as usual scrambled eggs (for the last 3 days), sausage, ham (2 days), cereal, bagels, make your own waffles....
The rooms, it's very nice, the rate that I have is $179/night, but maybe its a corporate rate.... so check it first.
Very good Chicken Vegetable Soup at the "The Broken Yolk".
If you don't have breakfast at the hotel, you can have it just across the street at a place called "The Broken Yolk" not too bad. They serve breakfast and lunch only.
Here is the "gate" to "Historic Heart of San Diego" or "Gaslamp Quarter", very nice...
The "San Diego Convention Center", its just across from the "Gaslamp Quarter"
And I got to participate in a discussion with Steve Wozniak... special guess!

How to Watermark your Digital Images
Quite often we (like me) put up/upload our digital images onto the web (photobucket, flickr, picasa, facebook, etc) and we're quite liberal with it.
But there might be some pictures that you may want to have ownership... that is to say that you're the one that shot this picture and if someone uses it, your "name" or "watermark" is on that picture.
Well, I've been looking at this for quite awhile, and there are many solutions to this like using Photoshop, GIMP, etc. First of all Photoshop is expensive, and I think it's requires too much of our time to learn how to use it.
GIMP is free, but still takes time to learn this as well.
I've been using a graphic tool called IrfanView and just out of curiosity I googled "Irfan Watermarking", and voila... there are tutorials on how to do that and even one on how to watermark a batch of images.
So for those wanting to use the free utility IrfanView here is the website for it - click IrfanView
And for those wanting to watermark a single image, click Watermarking a Single Image
And for those wanting to watermark a batch of files, click Batch Watermarking using IrfanView
Here is a sample, note watermark is at the right bottom corner...
