2008-07-21T23:44:00.000+08:00

It's a long time i pen my thoughts on my blog...many things had happened and many thing could have happen sooner.

Just wish time would come to a halt.

Dennis; Fight club parody

2006-11-11T14:38:00.000+08:00

Fight Club [David Fincher]: one of my favorite movie of all time, clearly demonstrated the resentment and unrest in our modern society. There's rages, angers, sorrows and despairs. The key element to modern unrest and insatiable mind of a middle class. Sometimes i felt i was Ed Norton when i was on flight...images and narration flashes across my mind; "single serving meal" ;p

And i will be seeing more Single Serving Meal for the next three weeks, as i began my tour of duty to Vietnam [20 -25 Nov] and Manila [27 Nov - 8 Dec] respectively.

3D imaging fast becoming a reality

2006-11-11T14:31:00.000+08:00

Touted to be running on a CELL processor and Super Companion Chip, it demonstrate the processing power of mapping a live person and super imposed a 3D image on it. If this technology is applied on online MMORPG gaming, i betting my $$ that this is going to be a big thing. With society grinding to a fast end, everyone need an alter ego...to ventilate some steam.

2006-11-09T00:07:00.000+08:00

This is really classic, i manage to find ultraman 1st episode on youtude. Seeing it is likes going back in time. The 1st series was made in 1966 a distance time before i was born. Just amazing how one could don those special force's uniform and running around. haha

Commuting to Manila more frequent

2006-10-30T22:10:00.000+08:00

Just gotten news that my Philippines Sales counterpart is resigning. So what how does it impact me? Well, i will be assigning to cover the role on a two weeks basis at Manila until we got ourselves a new sales guy.

I do have any issues staying 2 weeks in Manila, however i will be doubling my role as country manager and pre-sales at the same time. I reckon that of a start will be tough. But i guessed it's maybe heaven's will to prep me to greater responsibility.

Guessed it's a good chance to see if i can play up the role. I hope i deliver some result in Manila as we fought some hard battle against EMC Ph.

Wish me luck.

Back from Manila

2006-10-22T00:14:00.000+08:00

Just got back from Manila right after my U.S training @Sunnyvales. For a moment, i am discovering the beauty of Manila bits by bits. The present job requires me to take off to Manila on a monthly basis to help out the Philippines's sales manager. Therefore i get all the chance to see the city at night.

I have to admit some Pinoy gals are very attractive...english speaking and decked with an excellent figure, i felt smitten. It's okay..I will be back next month. Woot woot

The Oct training was for my new job at Network Appliance, based in Sunnyvale, this has to be one of the most well preserved american culture organisation i had seen so far. No executives were ever so accessible in NetApp, both the founders Dave Hitz and James Lau loved the company to death. To them, the passionate of growing NetApp is number one key. Keeping the culture living is not how the Dan Warmenhoven [CEO] want to keep it, it's the employee who live the company.

While we battled EMC for the Storage pie, my new struggle just began.

As part of the new Hired program @NetApp, i will be in bounding to Sunnyvale along with my colleague, Lewis. Perhaps start thinking what best to spend my two weekend there.

Probably head down to San Francisco for a little sight seeing or drive across the Golden Gate Bridge.

Saddest moment to depart

2006-08-12T11:57:00.000+08:00

Well, liked Peter Cetera had sang, it's the saddest moment when one leaves.

Yesterday was my final day working for Overland Storage and it's was'nt a pleasant day actually. I was down with flu and cold and have to finish off some of the last work before i wave goodbye to the team.

Boss, was pretty supportive of me joining NetAPP that for the past few quarters is coming back with an axe to grind against EMC. He left me a Mont Blanc pen on my desk and i returned with three Braun Buffel key chains as a parting gift.

After clearing most work for the day, i realised i had not taken my lunch and my stomache was roaring for food. Anyway, i kept going with drowiness after taking my cold tablet.

At 6pm, we bidded goodbyes and sms-ed few partner friends for good wishes.

Now, i have to look forward for a new challenge, with two years of hardship, perhap a new era awaits me.

Just keep going..

Being in the IT industry for 6 years since transiting from Semi-conc industry in cica 2000, it always fun to be associated to some IT's movements likes Open Source, Firefox blah blah.

Probably trying to be different, does bear a lil blahing rights.

Again, blessed with an unique ability to work with multiple favors of Operating Systems or at least able to survive the 1st 30hrs on any platforms does actually help me in my job some how, especially doing open system computing environment, knowing who and each OS flavour could make a huge difference somehow.

I have been using Red Hat 7 since the good old days from my spare PCs and gradually ran the early Fedora built from my Acer lappy. Couple of months back, i install Fedora 5 on my HP NX7010 and another one on my 2nd workstation as well. Both units allocated as production computers, i do able to get all hardware components working real fine and trying to locate utilties to do some stuffs like sync-ing the Sony Ericsson W810i to Evolution [Outlook clone] via Bluetooth.

Then this shirt strikes me...from Joyet Store, they offer a few range of computer related Ts. Check this one out. fsck me!!

Lacks of blog's posting

2006-07-29T09:17:00.000+08:00

Indeed, there's seemed to be lack of blog post from me lately, as i gearing toward a new role sometimes in Aug as Regional SE. And at the same time busy taking in all presentations and sales appointments. Probably trying to leave some good foot prints before i depart.

However yesterday, email notice from Overland CEO's Christopher that my boss is promoted to world wide Sales Director...kinda likes number 2 fellow besides the CEO. And marching order to re-locate back to San Diego, so boss is planning to fly in between the continents while keeping his family behind for the time being. Since his spouse is a lawyer..so she has to clear all her cases.

Well...looks like it's all fated as my versatility does not seemed to fit into any positions in San Diego for my ultimate objectives that i am trying to achieve. But as long we all depart in good wills, there's always a another chance.

On the side note, after discarding the idiotic Nokia N70 one corner, the Sony Ericsson W810i is quite a breeze to use. Taking away all the the headaches and provide duality ability. The sound quality of the walkman feature is quite amazing, pretty clean and it play the way you want it to play. I'm still using the default 512mb Duo Pro memory, so rather comtemplating to up the antes to 1Gb or 2Gb, the only holding back is the MP3's ID3 tag that it cannot be a long character, rendering all my existing Mp3 music whom already probably tagged for iPod has to be modified in order to fit in multiple CDs with long naming ID3 tag from the same album
to be shortened to prevent the Disc2HP to write them in two holders than overwritting the latter one over the former. That's where the pain point is.

2006-07-15T08:24:00.000+08:00

After barrages of interviewing from a US's MNC that does Information Management, i finally got the job offer yesterday. The job offer was very lucrative....in facts, i was'nt expected that much actually. Since the job market in SG is gaining domination from FTs [see latest MOM's news] however, the job requires me to travel to Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan, Vietnam, Cambodia and Philippines. Travel frequency is about 2x a month. Looks pretty okay to me as i am glittering to get into the thickness of actions.

Honestly speaking, i am still at the stage of street fighting years [Simple Minds's track runs on the background] so i would like to get myself bloodied in those territories as they are emerging nations in the next 10 years. That's at least provide depth and breadth in my career.

Seriously i hope i can inject more dynamicsm into their team, and may all grow together for a new sunrise.

Next off my todo list is to tell my existing boss that i sucumbered to a good offer, i'm not sure he will be entirely happy but having been messing around the IT street thugs, i hope he understands my desire and hunger to groom myself.

Nokia N70 still sick

2006-07-15T08:19:00.000+08:00

Well, Nokia looks likes trying it's very best to impress me by constantly keeping my N70 at sick bay. After weeks of rectification, they have decided to insteads of replacing the RF chips, they going to replace the motherboard of the N70. If that so, that's might sounds interesting as i am hoping a swift resolution to this fiasco.

So....right now i am undecided what addition to buy...W810i?

Thank you, Nokia, It's will be my last time using a Nokia phone

2006-07-09T02:25:00.000+08:00

After losing my Nokia 7610, i'd got myself an Nokia N70 last month thru M1 Mobile's promo. Darn, i signed myself a 2 yr contract since i had not been a contract subscriber for ages. What's turned out is a series of Nokia's woes for the pasts few days.

This monday, my N70 broke down by unabled to connect to any Access points of any GSM or 3G Networks. Switching between 3G and GSM network does not seemed to help as much. So i guessed the RF component may has been faulty. So i send in to Nokia service center at Suntec City.

Got there at 11am, Tuesday and waited for the gate to open. Well...i was 2nd in queue and soon i was serviced by a malay girl. Then i told her my problem and explained to her that the RF has some issues. She acknowledged and took my phone in, and said it will required 3-4 working days. Okay, i said. Then do you have spare phone for me to tide over? She said NO! Not Nokia's policy to offer mobile phone. What!!??!!!

I explained nicely to her that i do not have any spare phone for the whole day, then came the straight response, NO again. I felt ridcule what kind of customer's services Nokia is trying to portray? I brought the N70 for production usage. Not to Buy an N70 and buy another spare phone to compliment the Nokia phone in anticipation that the Nokia phone will break down, this is absolutely absurd! You ought to have concise policies to address case to case failures and replacement policies that those repairs that not helping must be replaced to address customer's woes.

It's no wonder Nokia's market share is eroding, because it failed ultimately to address customer's needs for attention. I am not very mean nor demanding, all i need is reasonable service, is'nt it so hard?

Okay great, i got a call today that my Nokia N70 is ready for collection, so i dashed down to Suntec at 3pm and collected it, tested it onsite and get set home. Nokia said they replaced the RF components......never replaced motherboard? Well, 2nd horror came in when i reached home to realise the same problem with the network coverage!!!!

Immediately i called the service center and expressed my unhappiness and she responsed that something i did must had caused the problem, so i dashed down again to Suntec before 8pm closing.

Again no one attended me....leaving me wandering around and asked for some immediate attention before the shop closed completely, then i saw the store manager and explained my woes...he was kind enough to assist, other wise i would have blow my top...So the rest is pretty explanary the N70 went back to the service table again. Sighz...

Geez...i have to fork out $138 to get a Motorola C168 for temporary use...but i am thinking of getting another phone because i had totally losing confidence in Nokia and would like to do nothing with Nokia in future any more, sorry Nokia. You had lose another customer and i will demonstrate the power of "Connecting People" on why buying Nokia is not a delightful experience.

I am pretty sure that those folks in the same service center are very much as woeful as me...so i will not pity you if you lose your mobile market share, because you failed time over time again to answer the needs of your customers.

Italian ripped the German's heart

The english were absolutely crap for unable to convert the spot kicks, so please do not blame anyone. Blame it on yourselves that you were overhyped to win the World Cup 2006.

Observes Lampard, Gerard and Jamie expression before they shoot, it's does not appear postives..

Random thoughts for WC 2006

2006-07-02T08:35:00.000+08:00

I admitted i have not been catching all the matches of WC 2006. However there's are few points worth noticing in this world cup. In my opinions, the revival of holding mid-fieldier is on the rise now.

France disposal of Brazil team were partly because Zidane had re-discovered his form to win balls and changes the ball in his flavor, not forgetting the amount of space, the Brazil had offered him. In addition, his partnership with Thierry Henry were put to much devastating effect and were constant thorn throughout their offensives. But one person remains unspoken, Claude Markele, the unsung hero of both Chelsea and France. Markele's reading of positions were excellent, couples with his pace and positional awareness and vision, he has an uncanny talent of predicting opponent's attacking moves and intercept it. Some of the African nations now deploy holding mid-field and forge a archor point in the field's half.

England used Owen Hargeaves as holding mid-fieldier in their yesterday defeat's formation 4-1-4-1. Owen played to his strength and won my hearts. It's a testimonial why Sven had previously used him in a different position and he did not played to his strength and shut critics why he is still a Bayen Munich's man.

Despite playing with 10 men, Owen acting as archor soaked up almost all Portugal's offensives and disrupted their flow to a greater extends, additionally having a holding mid-fieldier allows the left, right mid-fieldiers or wingers to maraude the opponent's defenses. Markele precisely dampened Brazil's attack and allows Zidane to create more space and chances for Franck Ridery to pressure up and pushes the Brazil's defense down within their own halves.

The galls of the coach to drop non-performing players is also a key point in this tournament.
Marco Van Basten, Scolari & Jurgen are few coaches that do not put players based on their reputation or rather based on the selection of players to suit the formation. Sven is notoriously refused to drop Beckham or Lampard even when they are'nt performing to expectation. Frank Lampard scored many goals for Chelsea and it's clearly shown that Lampard had fired many salvoes and yet to find the net.

Despite most were within the goal post, if you can't score, you lose confidence. Simple as that. Coming back to Beckham, it's obvious he lacked the fitness and pace in taking right mid. Since he can't out paced defenses, Beckham is as good as a team player selected to take free kicks and corners. Lacking the paces and unwillingness to defend, he constantly exposed Jamie to opposition's attack. Sven also would likes to have Beckham, Gerard and Lampard on the field, it's pretty known that Gerard and Lampard cannot be on the field together, because Owen's position will be compromised to suit his ideals.

Apart from that, the forward's formation also changed relatively, which was why he brought only 4 strikers in the world cup, as Gerard and Lampard both could attack as well, so why need more strikers? But he was wrong big time as Lampard himself was losing confidence, so Gerard has to double back to cover those hole Lampard created.

Resultantly, this also upset Rooney as he has to play lone striker and media hyping that he can bring the world cup home, thus shouldering him with big responsibilities. So Sven is playing all 4 of them because the British public's wishes. Sven is no idiot, so he obliged to their wish.

So in reality, England had paid the price for Sven's folly and refusal to combat opponents with right formations and tactics. Scolari knew he could out-wit Sven once again and played to his strength, despite the Portugese players were unable to break-thru the English's defense.

He knew the penalty shoot-out is going his advantage if it goes beyond extra time. Not forgetting Portugal did deposed England in Euro 04 on penalty shoot-out as well. Ricardo was again the show stopper then.

Constrastly, Brazil also paid it's price when Ronaldinho was strapped to his allocated role, devoids of freedom to express himself likes he did for Barcelona. So the coach's idea is to form a diamond's formation to suit to suit Ronaldo, despite fatty did scored three goals, but seriously he was'nt tested at the highest level until the French's encounter.

The next key thing to winning is the deployment of speedy forwards in an all attack formation. The German, Dutch, France, Ghana, Argentina showed that marauding forwards is the key ingredient to create chances and score goals. England clearly had the ingredients but were never used extensively. Aaron Lennon, Rooney, Dafoe and Walcott were not effectively brought in or utilised. One wonder what in Sven's head.

As the world cup edging to an end, we could only wish the final contestants battle it out in with an attacking mind than playing defensively till the last second.

WC 2006, All European affairs

2006-07-02T05:20:00.000+08:00

Today is a good day for me, why? Full of dramas and unthinkable event, let's me slowly dissect the following events...

I'd admitted that i never liked the English team, particularly the way the players and coaches were playing themselves in the WC 2006. Rooney, Lampard, Beckham and John Terry are way overated in my opinion, i never rate Beckham highly, apart for his still back skill. Beckham has nothing to offer for English's initatives. Neither he dribbles or run well, in facts comparing to Lennon. Beckham can run as fast as my granny.

Rooney playing as lone striker again fell in the traps of big Phil. The moment i saw one striker from England's formation, i knew the Englishs were done. Rooney playing up alone and not getting ball feed from the mid-fielder is bounded to be his frustration day as his temper flares very easily. Worst things that happened after he gutted the Portugal player, Ronaldo, his MU team mate created the sparks that got him redcarded. England having reduced to 10 men fought valiantly, despite constant Portugal's attack outside the box, they refused to buckle.

The killer punch struck when the game reaching to the end of the extra time, Jamie Caragher was bought in to replace Aaron Lennon who obviously a constant thorn at the Portugal's half. Reason was the former will be taking penalty if it's goes beyond extra time. True enough, the penalty materialized.

Frank Lampard took the 1st kick, trying very hard to find his net, still did not produce the killer instinct that he served him well in Chelsea. How can u let a guy who is low in confidence to take the 1st kick? Appalling, he missed, Jamie missed, Stevie G missed and Owen Hargeaves was the only guy who slotted in the ball.

Scolari obviously knew that Ricardo is good at saving penalties....and played out to 120mins extra time when the Portugese were unable to penetrate the English's wall.

Once again, Big Phil scored a hat trick against Sven and proved that Sven's failure to bring Germaine Dafoe as striker is costing him dearly as the tournament progess further. Of course bringing two injured strikers and a new kid on the block is likes waiting for the worst to happen, indeed Rooney proven to be critical to England's success and as well as villain too.

Similar to Beckham's send off in Euro 04, Beckham was'nt dropped when he was'nt playing well. So it's good news when they were disposed by the Portugese and the world is glad not to watch any more negative soccer any more.

France's surprise victory against Brazil is not a surprise actually. The regained inspiration of Zidane, Vieira, Henry and Ribery created constant problems for the Brazilian's defences. But most importantly, the key guy in the French's outfit goes to Markele. This classic holding mid fielder is almost everywhere at the right place and time to foil their samba attacks. Without Markele, French's victory will not be a possible.

So i guessed it's going to be an all European's affair world cup. The German now, will be taken as favorite to lift the cup as host nation.

The drama ran high when i was watching the England game at Holland V's coffee shop. Toward the 2nd halves of extra time, a chap was unhappy and threw his beer bottles just couples of meters away from me, i did not ran away and calmly watch the telly. Then the coffee shop boss challenged him to "settle" outside, off they went and soon the chap drove his Chevy car and rammed into a taxi parked just beside the shop, now the whole coffee shop went amok when he rammed the taxi up the road kerl. People began kicking his car door to get him off the car, the taxi driver was inside and probably hurt slightly and the England game was in a penalty shoot out, so everything were very tense then.....

That clown soon drove his car away and escaped while the police as usual slow to react came to the scene...by then, the English had already lost the plot, everyone was cheering and i left the shop feeling very gladified that i no longer need to endure long ball soccer, of course my friend Tiko Seng will be devastated that his favorite Liverpool players, Stevie G and Jamie both missed the penalty shoot out. Well, i guessed after all the hyping of their best chances to lift the cup, a media roasting await them.

Nice car stereo system

2006-07-01T15:22:00.000+08:00

Being talented of many things is a major issue. Not enough mojo gadgets to get me excited. Well, if i buy a new car then i would like to have a decent stereo system. Driving and music to me is always a related thing. Music kept me awake or even inject adrenaline which crusing along the express way. Not the initial-D's stuff... but fun speeding than crawling slowly...

So to match the fun of speeding, a device of many facets must be considered. iPod car kit sound likes a viable option since i had most of my electronic music tracks store inside, naturally it's providing a good pool of quality music. Until then...i saw this device from Hong Kong, order here.

So what it does?

A GPS via GPRS network
GSM mobile device
DVD player
CD audio player
Radio
Mp3 jukebox via it's onboard 20Gb hard disk
Touch screen interface via Stylus

Just dun watch Initial-D or Mad Max while driving your car with this device install...haha ;D

Let's pray for England to lose tonight

2006-07-01T14:46:00.000+08:00

Darn, the Argentine lost to the German in the penalty shoot-out, in my opinion, two crucial mistakes allowed the the German to equalize and win the game.

Coach Pekerman committed a serious mistake by taking Riquelme out. Riquelme is their crucial play maker and were involved in many attacks. Tevez can't do it alone. Secondly. the injury of the goalie also cost the Argentine a subsititude option. Lionel Messi was'nt given a chance to come in and ruffle the German's defence, else the story would be very much different. Quite a few occasion, the German's defence were caught napping.

In conclusion, taking off Riquelme remains the killing point, while the Argentine contented in defending their 1 goal advantage while soaking themselves from the German's attack. Their negative mentality is costing them dearly. Well...dun cry for me Argentina...spring to my mind.

Lastly, i felt that German keeper Jen Lehman is going to be a hero of the night as the German edging closer to penalty spots. The revitalized and on form Arsenal keeper Jen Lehman appeared to be shinning stars while the Argentine's 2nd keeper was looking like a darker self.

On the Italian's front, Italy shakes their defensive mind a little and did some attacking, the Ukraine looks pretty disorganised despite Andriy Shevchenko a constant threats. Ukraine got their acts together in the 2nd halves and launched many counter attacked and three times at least were denied by Buffon and wood work. I just felt that Ukraine did not have the luck to work the Italian harder...

Today is England game...and this is the team i deprised most. Display so much negativity and extreme bias to some star players. Particularly, David Beckham ought to be dropped. He dun run for the ball, he dun defend, he dun run fast enough [Lennon's speed show the sharp contrast] so all he does is static ball passing and free kick. Hello!! Free kick alone is not going to win you world cup. And worst, the clown vomitted after scoring. What a joke!!!

Scolari, teach the English a lesson in footie!!! England give 2 Balls leh!!

Samurai Champloo

2006-06-29T00:16:00.000+08:00

Just finished the whole 26 episodes of Samurai Champloo, one word describe the anime. Coolz.
Samurai Champloo was the work of Shinichiro Wanatabe and designed by Kazuto Nakazawa [Kill Bill Vol 1.] Shinichiro is responsible for few wonderful anime, namely Cowboy Becop and Animatrix. For those who won by the antics of Spike will see the similarity at Mugen.

The story depicted that a Japanese gal, Fuu started out a quest to locate the Samurai that smelled likes Sunflower....along her way, she found two companions, Mugen and Jin.

Mugen is an orphan who grew up in the street fighting days of Edo dynasty, he basically created his own form of fighting called Champuru Kendo. A mixtures of various martial arts concocted by him. Unpredictable and wild in his fighting style that make him a worthy opponent. Mugen speak his mind and care nothing in the world until he met Fuu.

Jin likewise a disciplined samuari who fight with grace and razor sharp accuracy, being enigmatic Jin is an opposite of Mugen. Both served to protect Fuu in her journey to find the samurai that smells like sunflower. Along the journey, the fun and fighting began..very much like cowboy becop style of fighting, it's never stop to amaze u. If you find one copy of it, i suggest you pick it up. The fun begins...with good music tracks.

Based on this equation, if our blood cell carries more oxygen, is'nt it to say that our body is much healthier this way? Well, there might be just a solution to this, OGO claimed they had squeezed in 200mg of oxgen into every litre which equates about 35 times more than regular water.

It's no wonder it is called "The Breathing Water"

Hernan Cattaneo! Renaissance: Sequential ~~Bagus!!

2006-06-25T18:59:00.000+08:00

With the Argentina claiming victory against the brave Mexican, the nation must be trumping crazy now.

On the music's front, their home brewed's Hernan Cattaneo has just released his latest DJ mixed album. Riding on his previous 2 Renaissance mix CD sucess, Sequential promised to deliver more punches and tempo than his previous works.

Since i like Hernan Cattaneo's work and his vision, i will be off to get a UK's pressed copies soon. Wonder HMV sell it or not....need to check it out.

After hearing it out, i give it 4/5 stars :)

Cheap labour! iPod City

2006-06-23T19:20:00.000+08:00

China will continues to provide cheap labor for many MNC seeking low cost labour and high margin manufacturing.

Our Apple iPod is no exception from any capitalist manufacturing MNCs. Foxconn, a big time contract manufacturer for numerous companies likes Dell, Apple, IBM, HP, Nokia, Motorola and Microsoft Xbox. Almost all workers housed in a domitory and food is provided, why i knew because my friend working at Siemen provides services there.

Coming back to the topic, paying as little as USD78.25 a month, the production workers work long hours and get no appreciation at all. So if you think your job suck...u might wanna read more and think how to propel yourself.

Article about iPod City is here with pictures and narations.

Edit, Inquiry today [26 Jun] has added that Apple has acknowledged that Foxconn had violated the labor law of China by forcing the worker 36hrs extra a month.

Van she ~ the next big thing in music

2006-06-21T20:49:00.000+08:00

Stumbled this at the cool hunter, they cited that this aussie group VAN SHE is stouted to be the big thing due to the music style they are playing. I took a listening on of their track, Kelly. Sounds very synth 80 pop that i used to grow up to. A mixtures of The Cure, ABC and couples of 80 synth pop group. This sound lead me to a memory lane...

Van She consists of Nick Routledge [vocals, guitar], Matt Van Schie [bass], Michael Di Francesco [synths] and Tomek Archer [drums].

Off to the airport

2006-06-12T07:15:00.000+08:00

Yesterday got into a rather bitter different point of views. I'm not sure why it had to happen that way, was there something that spoke with it or it was just the way it is used to be. I wondering why things has to be so complex? Why a display of impatience... i could only think once more.

Anyway, went downstair to watch Holland vs Serbia and Mexico vs Iran. The Dutch played quite a good game against the Serb while the Mexican surged forward with 2 leads after the break. The Iraning looks pretty good, however i have their suspicion that they are looking for a draw.

At least it's beat watching England's 1st game, they practically back to the old Sven's way, 1st half great, 2nd half sucks. I not surprised they won't go beyond Quarter final. We shall see.

I will offline for the whole week to Manila for business trip. Hopefully something nice does drop from the sky for me to surge ahead in the next coming new months, i could only pray.

Saturday's morning, i will drop down and run off to Lionel's house for his birthday, Leo i guessed just returned from Switerzland weeks ago will keen to catch up some old friends as well...

Haiz....why so difficult? Can anyone enlighten me?

Lost my Nokia 7610

2006-06-08T00:09:00.000+08:00

Sometimes things got to happen for a reason...darn. I just dunno why it's happened. Anyway, prior the day i lose my Nokia 7610 at my distributor's canteen. I was heading to Sim Lim to buy some DVD+R to cut some anime for an ex-colleague who helped me complete my Full Metal Alchemist series. So along the way, i thought i might as well buy a Bluetooth USB v2.0 dongle, a Logitech mini optical mouse, a memory card reader from Sony [tray type]. Kevin from Fuwell was nice to bundle me a discount :p

Anyway, soon i got home. I fixed them up onto my workstation and got them fired up. Soon enough i was backing my Nokia 7610 and sync-ing my calendar and contacts.

The next day, i lost it....in the urge to retain those contacts and calendar, i got myself an Nokia N70 beige color...really all started in a shamble as out of nowhere, i have to fork out $$ to get a new phone.

Okay, i got a 3G and faster response mobile phone, what what adores me was the unique shape of my Nokia 7610 and it's almost had all the extra software i installed.

Really pek chek....it's seemed that my Bluetooth's purchase was a blessing on the contary. Otherwise i will be spending two days punching those contacts again.

Busy week again ~ flying to Manila next week

2006-06-08T00:01:00.000+08:00

This week has been quite a busy week as i gotten last minute notice that i will be enrouting to Manila, Makati next week for a partner training and pre-sales activities. Monday is going to be Philippine public holiday, therefore getting a decent flight is going to be tough. Luckily for me, Amy my travel agent managed to book a flight on moday morning. So i will reach Manila in the afternoon for a jolly good sight seeing. However since we have no admin staff, all the booking have to made soonest while i scrambled to add my finishing touches to my presentation training and sales slides. Just to act in advance of that new week.

Besides the anticipated overseas activities, i only got into some job opportunity with a server manufacturer, hopefully i get call up for interview. Meanwhile, i just keeping my finger crossed.

Segway Cop

2006-06-01T20:14:00.000+08:00

Chicago police dept is the first police force to use the Segway scooter as street patrol vechicle. For those who have not heard og segway, they were one of the recent invention by Dean Kaman of using only two wheel for travelling and balancing.

A computer that constantly sense the body movement is constantly counter balancing the wheel when static or movement via feed backs from the gryoscope. Will our police puppies uses such vechicle for law enforcement?

Been Busy :(

2006-05-31T21:05:00.000+08:00

The past few days ranging from last friday has been one of the most grueling days for me. The iDA tender began with a corporation with Fujitsu team for a possible solution demo.

The stupid yankees did some unthinkable service to me by sending in a pre-production tape loader for me to deploy as archived solution in the P.O.C [Proof Of Concept]. Not only it's did not work well, i burnt my weekend for a little low end loader. Luckily i managed to pull the parties together and got everything running likes a clockwork. Thanks to whatever god that it's all end well. I made my presentation to iDA inspectors for our Virtual Tape Library solution and charimastic wiggle my way thru.

I'm so disappointed and i began to realise that my "National Service" term is drawing near. Guessed i better keep my eye peels.

The results of this iDA POC also draws more friendship thru hardship. Guessed that's undisputeable i am such a lovely person. hahaha

Random thoughts, May 06

2006-05-25T22:51:00.000+08:00

Today, i just found an old storage comrade hiding in a Japanese IT company, just likes everything in life was pretty random and unpredictable, i thought i lost contact with him when he resigned from Sanz data and there i found him hiding in a cosy Japanese firm. Indeed this is a small island.

Was'nt much following on American Idol 06, but i bet by now all knew Talyor Hicks won it by a good margin. Despite having as much grey hair as me, he showed pretty good showmanship through the competition. As how he won it, someone has some good answers. Or rather why Katharine lost it....was also here as well.

After the GE 2006, i bet many of us are leaving a very sour taste in our taste buds in regards to our incumbent's conduct and strategies. Not only they completely missed addressing our issues and nation's challenges, and the facts that they were having the media trumpeting their empty vessel did not helped the causes. With their biased projection from the media, many of us turned to internet to gather more news. Now that the Post GE forum was brought upon for discussion, Denise Phua who presented PAP really did a bad job indeed. Not only she failed to understand the root causes of why people alienating the ruling party, she insteads focus on how to manage the internet to have a balanced view. What's a total fuck up. Yawningbread gave a very good account on her opinion and views in the forum.

"

This suggests that she belongs to the set known as the "politically apathetic Singaporean". Beyond lack of interest, one fears she may not even have the instincts to know how upset many Singaporeans have been through the years about PAP policies and their style. Does she have appropriate listening skills? Is she sensitive enough to political feelings?

Yet she's a member of parliament now. Presumably, the cabinet will depend on feedback from people like her while formulating policies. One wonders, what kind of feedback she will provide when her political IQ seems so undeveloped?""

What's a disappointment.

Adicolor

2006-05-25T22:14:00.000+08:00

Adidas is reviving itself thru many of it own internal branding, 1st off the Classic Adidas is creating a very strong market branding based on it's heritage products. 2nd, the Adicolor edition is bringing wide variety of designs and colors from many renowned artistes. I believed this is one of the few factors that Adidas is re-inventing itself as one of the most exciting sport wears in the recent years.

$100 a computer

2006-05-24T16:07:00.000+08:00

I know we are fortunate enough to have ample foods and clothes, however some poverty nations may have problem providing more jobs that enable all to afford a computer. I not saying having a computer is a good thing, but i rather look at the possiblity for the poors to attain proper education to stood a chance to contribute to the society.

Here we got is a $100 a pc. Look a little lookalike baby Mac, and looks ma!! It's running Fedora 5 Linux.

Speaking of which, i have gradually converted two computers at home to run Fedora 5 Linux, which kinda helps take lotsa headache maintaining them. Right now, i am comtemplating to convert my workstation to a Fedora 5 as well? Only setting me back is the game and audio apps. Other wise i find Fedora 5 is so much fun to use.

A slow week

2006-05-23T21:41:00.000+08:00

This week began with an interview with one of the renowned storage vendor looking to fill in a vacancy of pre-sales executive. Upon a friend intro, i was herded into the meeting room with three interviewers, one a technical manager, a regional sales and local sales manager. When the interview began, i was put into a barrage of questions about my experiences and knowledge, so far i guessed i did pretty ok to project my vision and expertises...

Hopefully a fruitful weeks ahead.

Did i say never offend a woman? hee hee...woman can be quite vicious being if you messed with the wrong one...here tell it all.

Today after work, i headed off to Adidas store @Suntec Tower 2 and got off with a pair of running short and a cool new green 3 Tripe Trefoil Ts. I think i'm fast becoming an Adidas Original freak...btw, i also got the blue one as well.
