It is really rare that my blogs were left untouched for days. I have not been away from home but I am really busy at work. Partly because of the testing and troubleshooting of the latest system upgrade site wide. We encountered a few problems but fortunately, we were able to solve most of them ourselves as well as with the help of the IT support here. The latest system upgrade involved some installation of Windows software and apparently, the executables of our upgraded system do not work very well with computers which do not have the latest Windows software or updates. Luckily, all was not as bad as what we had imagined. Surprisingly, I have not had any coffee in the office since a week ago. How amazing?

Mee and I went to Portsmouth last Sunday. The weather was hot and sunny. We visited the BlueReef Aquarium thinking that it might be better than the London Aquarium as the brochure looked very much like an underwater experience. However, we were both disappointed in the end. It was small and nothing much to see. We then went to the car boot sales nearby. It was a huge site and we spent more than an hour there. Mee reckoned that we would be bored if there were no car boot sales that day. I have become darker and darker. I wonder if my skin will become whiter if I stop exposing my skin under the sun.

I have an urge to tidy up our room this weekend. But that will include sacrificing my movie time. I am quite reluctant but it will be really good to tidy up our room. Till then, I need to do some planning on how to sort out our room. Not really sure whether I could squeeze some place out of our room??!!!

At 1500, I will have my performance development review discussion with my manager. This is my first performance development review in this company and the previous three reviews that I had done were probation reviews. Excited, no but just hope that it will be a good one and more importantly, the company and my department manager will have better understanding regarding my expanding job role. On the other hand, we are busy in getting the upgrading of our server job done. As always, a busy August.

Attached is a picture of an egg. Well, guess what it is? It is a pepper grinder and Mee bought it a few weeks ago. Cute, isn’t it?

Of all the classes at Aquadrome that Mee and I attended are supposed to be acting as fat burners and fun to those who attended. However, we are not enjoying as much as we had at the moment. Some of the classes were cancelled while some classes have a change in instructor. Replacement instructors have made us realised how good our original instructors were. Now, we just hope that our instructors have a great holiday and will be back with us as soon as possible.

Yesterday, the Step class was cancelled but I still went to Aquadrome to do weight lifting exercise. The weather was great but surprisingly, there were lots of people in the gym. Often, there were a few people taking turns in order to use one of the machines.

In a few days time, I shall publish some photos taken at the Mudeford beach as well as the Marwell Zoological Park. I have yet to copy them into my computer though.
