Force to stay at home, Work from Home or Data Center, Fixing the light bulb, Sengkang Sports Complex, Picard Amazon: Five for Friday

Friday of February 21, 2020

I don't think anything is interesting this week since there is more of work than self-reflection. Ok because of the Wuhan thing, everyone is divided into two groups, where one group is adviced to work from home and the other is to go to office. Work from home will be done alternately every week between the two teams. I fixed the electricity eating light bulb. We went to sengkang sport centre last weekend for a walk. Going to data center is the painful part within this month.


Force to stay at home. Work from Home or Data Center

Work from home but nooo I went to the data center...

I was happy that we can work from home. Unfortunately no one is also capable to setup, check, verify, security cleared to do work in the data center. In the end the happy week ended up with working in the data center. Data center is not the best working condition to go to. Someone needs to be cleared 5-6 times and would need an escort to enter the last room and to even do a pee. It take 10-20 minutes just to enter the server room with all the clearance. There is no camera phone inside the server room, there are no seats, one needs to stand up and use the console racks, if you have a laptop you need to directly connect to the secured ports. Either way I can't complain on the work, it is just part of the role.


Fixing the light bulb

House keeping and maintenance duties...

Cleaning, changing bulbs and personal fixtures is part of maintaining a flat. It is too expensive to let someone else do it, but it is not so difficult for me to do the maintenance myself.


Sengkang Sports Complex

Weekends around Sengkang...

This weekends generally invovled around Sengkang Sport Centre and Sengkang Riverside park. Basically we walk from our place straight to sport complex. Joyce will take the bike and Jace will be in the stroller. There is a nearby playground where Joyce can ride a swing and play with the sand. Singapore have a lot of playground in every flat but it is rare to find swing and sand playing grounds.


Picard: Star Trek, Amazon Prime Original

Normally I don't watch any Amazon Prime shows, May be Picard is an exception...

Star Trek. Unlike Netflix, Amazon Prime Video has sub-standard shows for my taste. Their focused niche doesn't touch mine. Hopefully after acquiring a Star Trek fanchise they can do more scifi shows, I also hope they have a lot of standup comedy show. I'm a Star Trek New Generation fan, it was my first series in the franchies.
