Learnt something new today - and I was beginning to think all this CIRIS is getting dull.

Learnt more about Norton Ghost. And how a Win 98 is used for "cloning" with Norton Ghost "ghost" command with "-forceusb" command. Also figured out "mstsc" for data center access. And also figured out how BIOS can affect a PC bootup, like accessing the USB drive first instead of the default floppy Disk with priority adjustment with CIMOS settings.

Had a great time working with Daryl too, and he is one of my "Boss".

Daryl is soft-talking and he seems to be good in Snooker. He also helped out in manual labour and talked about his past about how he start off as a Desktop staff years back.

Over the lunch, he also mentioned how he views part-time studying when Terrance ask him about "upgrading". He mentioned he cant cope with extended length of concentration, and the books after work is nothing more of a sleeping pillow. I nod in agreement.

He then invited Terrance and the other Temp staffs outside for a snooker clash night. But only Terrance, Sunny and I turned up. Somehow, this seems to be my first outdoor social entertainment.

Daryl went off for a meeting while Terrance, Sunny and I hit off the table first. Its was nothing more but some balling around, till Daryl joined in. It was a total swish. I mean it was amazing. Daryl's skills with the stick that it. I try to snook him but to no valid, since he can always use path I least though of for entry... Its just amazing...

Somehow, I feel that snooker seems to be a chess playing, where you need to "SEE" more than the opponent and on top of that, to actually control the situation (with stick and ball) to what you see.

Its just practice. Anyway at the end of the day, I felt nothing more but an urge to play more snooker... Looks like I found some weekend activities with Jeffery already Mum.
