Passwords Nightmares

What if one day you woke up and realised that you have forgotten all your passwords? I mean ALL of them.

Let's see... then you wouldn't be able to... login to your computer, open your files, access the Internet, connect to the VPN, check your emails, update your FB status, chat on MSN, do your Internet banking, withdraw cash from ATM, make payments by NETS, slide your iPhone or even enter your house (yes, I have a friend who uses digital locks). I am sure the list can goes on.

Isn't it a nightmare? Our everyday life is run by passwords!

No, of course that did not happen to me. Not yet.

What DID happen to me was... I am running out of passwords to use for work. I typically re-cycle four of them everytime they expire (ok I know this is not the best practice for security...) so that even if I suddenly cannot remember for some reason, I can just go down the list and hit the right one in no time. Somehow this morning when I was trying to do the same old thing... it failed. I was prompted that I cannot re-use any of the past EIGHT passwords. EIGHT ?!? Since when ?!?

Improvised Toys

I am sure many parents will attest to this.

When you are out with your little ones and they start to get cranky, what do you do? You improvise toys on the fly! Unless of course, if you are one of those are always well prepared with an entire bag of toys on your day out.

Here is Justin Baby looking satisfied with the camera case. In fact, he really treated it like his new toy and was so entertained by it for the rest of the afternoon.

Doctor Who?

I recently went for some routine medical checkup and I had quite an interesting conversation with the female doctor (Doctor A).

Doctor A: So... you had a baby this year. Who was your gynae?

Me: Ya. My Gynae was Doctor B.

Doctor A: Oh...Doctor B is such a charming man!

Me: Oh you know him?

Doctor A: Kind of. He is very experienced in his field. My husband is a gynae too and I once sat at a dinner beside him. So charismatic.

Me: Well, I guess he can be quite humorous sometimes.

Doctor A: He is quite old lah... but still very attractive at his age!

We both chuckled.

Doctor A: So... you also had your LASIK done this year?

Me: Ya but didnt go too well.... blah blah blah

Doctor A: I would never go for LASIK... blah blah blah. So who was your doctor?

Me: Doctor C

Doctor A: Oh... Doctor C!

Me: Huh? You know him too?

Doctor A: Aiya, he always appear on magazines mah

Me: He looks very young hoh?

Doctor A: Looks young only but actually not that young. Don't really like him. So vain. Always unbutton his shirt a little and trying too hard to look good. How much he charges? Where is his clinic?

Me: blah blah blah

Doctor A: Huh? His clinic is there uh. That place good enough for him meh? He so vain... thought he would be here in Paragon. That Doctor B is so much better than him. Older but more charming.

We both chuckled again.

Before this, I never expected Doctors to gossip (or even bitch).
At least not with the patient.
Then again... I guess it is a "woman" thing... regardless of profession :)
