I slept thru my alarm this morning. I am supposed to wake up at 6:50am, to get ready for booking badminton courts at 7am.

Speaking of booking of badminton courts, Singapore Sports Council had a very stupid rule for it's booking system. The booking is open at 7am every Tuesday for the whole week starting from the following Wedesday, which is the next day, until the following Tuesday. This means that every mother son who wanted to book the courts during peak hours, especially during evening time tight after pp knock off work, will be logging in at this time. Imagine the traffic. It's crawling. They putting a unnecessary load on their server, and it can absolutely be avoided.

Maybe it's on purpose. So that their staff can access it easieer using another server. This statement is purely a wild guess. Please do not quote me on this.

Anyway, I overslept, but luckily ys managed to get the courts. He's a good chap. I had been waking up before 7am every Tuesday for the past 1 and 1/2 yrs. He has been doing this for years. And he has not been playing for the past yr cos his wife got pregnant. She gave birth to a cute girl last month. But he still wake up a wee hours every week and pay for the courts that he don't even play. Thanx ys.
