Happy Birthday!

-

Today Sofia celebrates an indeterminate age (as she has for the last many years ;-)

There are things I'd like to say
to you my love on your special day:

I am forever thankful God sent you my way.

Like a gift from up above,
you showed me how it is to feel real love.

I know many mountains we've had to climb
and sometimes forever has seemed like a very long time.

Yes, we've endured our share of pain,
but together we have so much to gain.

Bigger mountains may lie ahead,
but together there is no hill we can not tread.

So always remember my love for you,
and there is nothing together we can not do.

I'll be here forever - my love is true.
The person beside me, that would be you.

Poem was nabbed from here.

Aw, a very Happy (belated) Birthday wish to Sofia! And what a glorious (and sweet) photo!

I'm back at work (as of yesterday) and resuming battle with the evil lab problem. Hopefully I'll get a new post up soon as well.

Happy New Year, Richard! :)

LFY: Thank you. I hope she is thankful too ;) It is not always easy being a good husband.

MIO: Thanks. Happy New Year to you too. I'm lucky in that I can do most of my work on a simulation platform at my desk. The few times I actually need to go into the lab it is usually to try and debug timing issues that don't show up on the simulator.

Bee: Thanks Bee, I hope I give her much to cherish.

Hi Maurice: hmmm ... not sure what to make of you. Your blog has few posts, but a lot of profile views. However, you are always welcome to read my blog. Sorry I can't leave comments on yours.

Risky Singapore?

-
CBC Radio had a documentary on Singapore and its lack of risk taking yesterday (only just heard it this morning). Since I know there are 1 or 2 Singaporean readers of this blog, I am curious to know how accurate the documentary is. I find that people often have mistaken impressions about other cultures and people. You can hear it here .

Why you should regularly visit your dentist.

-
I hadn't been to my dentist since May-2004 (normally I went on weekends, but since Sofia and the kids moved to Montreal, I am not in Ottawa on the weekends). Last night, as I was munching on some cashews, I felt a pain in one of my molars and then some grit in my mouth. I went and washed it out, assuming that maybe there had been a stone or something amount the cashews. Turns out I noticed a hole in the surface of the molar (top right, second from the back, my wisdom teeth were removed years ago). Fishing around for grit in my mouth, it looked like crumbled filling. So I assumed that my filling had cracked and crumbled and come out. Went to the dentist this morning, he took an x-ray and came back with bad news. I have a large cavity under the filling, which gave way. The filling did not fall out, but rather impacted into the space of the cavity. He did not rework the filling, since the cavity is very near the root - cleaning it out would likely result in exposing the root. As some
