Sunday, November 30, 2008Packed like sardinesToday I went to Sitex 2008! Knowing it will be very very crowded, I thought I could beat half of those shoppers by going earlier. To my dismay, its already packed like crazy when I reached there. No choice... Squeeze!!! Haha... Usually, I would avoid such situations. As I need to get my LCDs this time, I do not have much choice. Trying to squeeze around the halls to get to the different exhibitors and get the stuff I want and get out of there. Hit and run tactic. Heh heh.The exhibitors seemed to have deployed different tactics this time round. Few years back, they used pretty models as attractions. Just like race queens but they the various exhibitors’ names printed on them. This time round, big sign boards and loud headers shouting for the best bargains. Guess they realized techies are no longer just guys. There are many female shoppers there too. I got my LCD le! Now left the wall mount and the shelf. Nin... @
Thursday, November 27, 2008Pillars in the companyWhen I first joined the Phillip, Jay told me that our company can stand against strong winds and tides because of the few pillars in our company. I couldn't really understand what he meant then.Just few days ago, I said the exact same words to my new colleague, Lenny. Not only have I understood the meaning of it but witness the strength of one of the pillars just today. The pillars are referring to the few key positions holders in my company. You have to work with them to feel and get attracted by the authority they command. Will I ever reach such a level where I no longer need to depend on others and can be dependant on. Sadly, my department 'head' is far from being a pillar. Nin... @

Saturday, November 22, 2008A stroke of bad luck... Make that many strokesI really think that I cannot gamble when money is involved. The luck of my draws becomes lousy when money is involved... maybe this is the way fate reminds me not to engross in gambling.Today was at Huiling's house for a gathering. Been a very long time since we had a gathering for the ex-poems marketing. It is half a gathering, half a mahjong session. Played one 'pok'. Freaking terrible draws. None of my cards seems to fit with any others for all the rounds. Without any surprises... I became the grand loser. Haha... I still like my ex-poems marketing friends. ^^ Wish that you enjoy ur NZ trip. Nin... @
Sunday, November 16, 2008SundayToday is SundayDidn't accomplish much today except that I finally kept my Korean trip fotos into an album. Great achievement! Haha. Freaking pressurized recently sia... First, it's my pressure to compliment you. Now, I need to find a fresh bed time story within 5 hrs. Haha... I wonder what’s next. Hohoho... Bedtime Story no.1: The Abandoned Shoe I've heard of ghosts and UFOs And things that don't make sense And miracles and spooky stuff That keep you in suspense. But here's tricky puzzle Which defies all explanation Where do the abandoned shoes come from On the highways of our nation? Do people who are driving cars Just look down at their feet And decide their shoes have had their day And throw them on the street? And, if that's true, then why just one? And is it left or right? And what do they do with the other one When they limp back home at night? It doesn't seem to matter If it's trainers, boots or shoes There’s only one on every road And never any clues. Perhaps the cobbler's little elves Have made an extra load And so they throw the spare ones out To wither on the road? Or perhaps one-legged drivers Who travel near and far Pick up the shoe they now don’t need And toss it out the car? Or maybe careless truckers Who deliver shoes to stores Drive over bumpy potholes And the shoes bounce out the doors? But I fear the case of the abandoned shoe Will remain, to some extent, Another of life's great mysteries, An unexplained event. Nin... @
Thursday, November 13, 2008RevisitA sudden thought to have a re-visit of my blog.This is my second blog. The first one had a full stop to it as it had served its purpose for why it was started. The second one was started to serve as a link to my brother who was in Japan then. It was to update him of all that has happened in SG when he was not here. But I got too lazy to update it... and stop. It was almost a year now since I stop... A sudden urge to have a re-visit on my blog and leave an entry on it. Wonder if this will go on... Thinking back, I realized the time when I really enjoyed leaving entries of my life in the cyberspace. And I was a happier person then. I have re-visited. Tadaima. (I'm back) Nin... @
