I had to pass some bulky items to my dad’s friend this evening. Because items were bulky, I decided to take a cab there. I got a cab right in front of my block. It took me about 5 seconds to properly sit down in the taxi with those items that I was carrying. While I was busy putting things beside me, cabbie asked me something in Chinese. I assumed he asked where I wanted to go. I answered Strand Hotel. He asked me again in English. I repeated my answer. He said nothing but looking back at me. I thought he didn’t hear me properly. I repeated it third time.
He shouted at me – ‘Close faster!’ as the door was still opened as I didn’t managed to close it yet. I didn’t know why he rushed me. We were not near bus stop nor the traffic lights. But, anyway, I assumed that he was not in very good mood. So, I just kept quiet. Then, we started off for Dhoby Ghaut. I admit that he could really drive nicely. On express way, he drove up to 110 km/h. It took me merely 15 mins to reach my destination.
When we reached the hotel, I gave him 50 dollar note. Taxi fare was only $ 7.60. But I did not have any smaller note. He put my 50 dollar note up against in-vehicle light bulb. I was surprised to see someone conducting such a note check – first time in Singapore. But again, I kept quiet noting to myself that he was someone exceptional. He gave me back my change. And again, he did the check second time. I asked him what was wrong with that note. I told him that I had never heard of any case of fake note in Singapore. He insisted that there were fake *50* dollar note cases. I repeated I never did. Then I just got out of his cab without saying goodbye.

Sometimes, we need to use pageLoad() function in both MasterPage and ContentPage to get something done. But, if we add two function with such same name, that function residing in ContentPage will be ignored by the browser. To correct this behavoiur, we need to extend pageLoad() functoin in MasterPage as follows:
In MasterPage
function pageLoad(sender, args)
{
...
// ... do my MasterPage JavaScript stuff...
...
if (window.contentPageLoad) {
window.contentPageLoad(sender, args);
}
}
In ContentPage
function contentPageLoad(sender, args)
{
// do something
}

Sometimes, we need to include files while publishing our web application in Visual Studio. But, those files (e.g. pdf) are not published together. In that case, make sure the file is in project. Right-click the file and if you see ‘Include in Project’, it means that file is not part of project yet. Then, right-click the file again. Select properties and set these values:
Build Action: Content
Copy to Output Directory: Do not copy (This is to copy the file to Bin folder.)
