My goodness, I realised that I have not posted anything since 2016!  Initially I thought of creating another blog to show what I have been doing but decided not to as I do not know how to create another blog, hahaha.  Therefore I will continue to post my crafts on this site instead.

7 April - Due to COVID-19, I have started to work from home since.  There were some challenges in the beginning as the notebook given to me was an old one, the keyboard sucks and the screen blurry.  To help me move along with my work, I took my TV monitor and use it as a monitor.  Took a spare keyboard at home for the keyboard.  The old notebook acted like a CPU.  It was smooth sailing until my WiFI was down on Labour Day night - Friday night.  Called Starhub who sent a technician to check and found that it was the cable laid outside my apartment that was faulty.  Since it was a Saturday, the company Netlink was closed and no one could come to fix the problem. After numerous called to Starhub, they managed to arrange an appointment with Netlink who could only come on Tuesday morning.  With government encouraging everyone to work from home during this period, it was impossible for me to work without WiFi.  Not possible too to go back to the office.  Frustrating!  I had to use my phone data plan temporally but to avoid additional cost, bought a Singtel prepaid card instead.  This was also temporary.  Technician only managed to change the cable on Tuesday noon after several phone calls exchanges to Netlink.  Apparently the problem was - the rats have been enjoying a feast eating through the cables in the false ceiling outside the apartment!  I pray that it will not happen again.  😂Happiness when WiFi was restored on Tuesday, hooray!!

Got new HP notebook on 13 May 2020.

Work has kept me so busy that I do not have time to do my crafts but will post them soon.

Yesterday was indeed a lousy evening for me. I was told that Z is now made redundant. It came as a shock to me as it was unexpected. A sad night as I cried and could not sleep

More tatting pieces.......

HOLIDAY IN BEI JING

Excited about the trip as do not know what to expect. Took the early morning flight via SQ. 1st time departing from Terminal 3.

TATTING

I just love to tatting but do not have time to pursue this passion. So much to do and so little time. Even though I have not got a chance to pick up my shuttle lately, I have been admiring my pieces now and then.

HAPPY 43TH BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE

Patriotic ? Love your country ? Looks like the residents here are not showing their love for their country by displaying the country's flag. Over the last 14 years, we have been waiting for at least another neighbour or another resident to share our joy and celebrate our nation's birthday and this year we are disappointed again.

A NEW TOY

Am now a proud owner of Canon 40D + EF-S 17mm - 55 mm IS USM lens. Bought this on 30 July and now trying to get use to it. Still do not understand why my photos turn out blur ???
