Watch!
A quick guide on what to watch out for a watch. For general knowledge only. Of course, please refer detailed advice on how to use and care information that usually found in the guarantee cards accompanying the watch purchase.
A water resistant watch can be exposed to light moisture, such as light splashes of water when washing your hands. However, some water resistant watches can be submerged into water, and their depth of resistance should be indicated.
This depth of resistance is measured in "atmosphere" (ATM) or "bar" tested at the labs, and each ATM denotes 10 metres of sstatic water pressure.
When it says 3ATM or water resistant to 30m:
It is suitable for daily use; not for swimming or submersion in water. Can only withstand ligth splashes of water or rain.
5ATM or water resistant to 50m:
It is suitable for short swimming sessions in shallow water; not for diving or snorkeling.
10ATM or water resistant to 100m:
It is suitable for swimming and snorkeling.
20ATM or Water resistant to 200m:
It is suitabpe for high impact water sports and some diving activities, like skin diving.
Diver's 150m or Diver's 200m:
It is suitable for skin and scuba diving. It meets ISO standards.
However, there are DOs and DON'Ts:
> Don't wear your water resistant watch into a shower, hot tub or sauna.
> Don't wear leather watches when swimming.
> Do rinse the watch in fresh water after swimming or diving in salt water.
> Do rinse it after exposure to chlorinated water, spray-on perfumes and hairsprays.

Singapore to Jakarta, June 30, 2011.
From foodcourt, after hot conversations that seemed never-end, at 16:35 parted with Gerry who headed to Heathrow. We boarded the flight SQ962 from Gate E11. It's a flight on a Boeing 777-300 standard SQ configuration. My seat number was 39C but it was already seated by a big gentleman ... I didn't mind switched seat with him, so I seated at window seat facing the wing.
Took off at 17:35+.

Beijing to Singapore, June 30, 2011
Hardly woke up on the wake up alarms: the Nexus One alarms at 4:45 and 5:00, and the desktop clock alarm snoozing at 4:48 and 5:05 ... all am of course ^_^
Thrown clothes into my Delsey trolley bag, a quick shower with an L'Occitane liquid soap ... to lighten up my morning with my Bunda's scene, final glance on the room, closed the door and as I pushed the 'down' arrow on the elevator, I got a call from my boss, Phil, reminded my that he and Gerry already assembled in the lobby as the clock shown 5:56.
I told him that I was on the way down and would join him soon.
I met Derrick just checking out, too.
...
Finally, at 6:10 we assembled altogether in the car to the Beijing Capital International Airport Terminal 3.
... Beijing International Airport is a massive huge airport... an amazing piece of marvel.
Checked in luggage and got boarding passes, we all had a breakfast in a noodle kiosk.
Passed the boarding hall's security check then walked to Gate E11. I shopped some souvenirs for families in Bandung.
At 08:30 I boarded the flight SQ803 on a retrofitted Boeing 777-200, seat no. 34C.
Brunched with oriental selection of Chinese braised pork with pickled vegetables, stirfried chicken with mushroom in red rice sauce, seasonal vegetables and fried rice, roll and butter, a cone of ice cream and a cup of english breakfast tea.
Landed at Changi Airport about 3 pm, disembarked at Terminal 2 gate F35.
Got prawn laksa and a can of Coke Zero at T2 2nd Floor Food court area sponsored by Gerry.
Opie & Phil joined in about half an hour later.

My readings tonight:
“Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head.”
Have you ever been drafted or invited for a special assignment or mission away from your home, family, and job? Duty to country, kin, or church may call some of us to leave our familiar surroundings in order to serve elsewhere.
...
"Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my whole will. All that I am and all that I possess you have given me. I surrender it all to you to be disposed of according to your will. Give me only your love and your grace with these I will be rich enough and will desire nothing more. (Prayer of Ignatius Loyola, 1491-1556)

Landed in the massively large new Beijing airport a quarter to midnight before Tuesday.
