Prawnie - The Sumo Kid

Life is good here with the hospitality of Duane and Hiromi. Have now upgraded to sumo status.

London - My 2nd Home

Right now back in my 2nd home -- London

Feels good to see the familiar sights after 4 years away from here. Some things have changed. But it feels good to be walking down the streets that have changed and yet familiar to me.

This is almost like an international meet up for me I guess.

Damian (Poland)

Marijke (Holland)

Vicky (Hong Kong)

Momoka (Japan)

Damian is coming to Singapore! Finally........after I visited him in Poland, now is his turn! Gonna take leave and bring him around. Might be the first time for me to go some places in Singapore! Hahaha........

Purpose of Passwords

Login and password. The essential thing to safeguarding the information in my work laptop, the different applications I have to run, the secure websites I need information from, the email program I have to use too!!!

I know the purpose is for security. When it starts to expire and require a new password every X number of days, security goes up another level. A constant change, just let the hacker have a go at it!

BUT......the following may be some requirements, depending on which application:

- a new password every X number of days

- must consist of at least one lowercase alphabet, one uppercase alphabet, one number, one symbol, blah blah blah

- must not be the same as TEN previously used passwords

- must be minimum 8 characters long

By the time I think of all these, I cannot remember what I wanted to login for.

What THEN is the real purpose of the passwords??? I need to remember 10 different ones (at least) whereas the hacker concentrates on hacking one. You mean that is security?

Long Lost Disciple

A "disciple" from long long time ago. Lost contact in between because we were each busy with our stuff. And then I try to call a few weeks back and realised that the number is no longer in use.

Determined not to slowly lose in contact with the people I've known and were part of my life, I managed to get her number. She just got married. Time has flown by so quickly. My disciple has grown up so much. I think I want to meet up and catch up with her. I hope He is still part of her life.

Hmmm...now I remember the words of Tingie...

This is a year of restoration.
