After the bad case of cold over half a week last week (including my precious weekend), I was back in the office yesterday. Supposed to have a meeting at Zouk together with this phone-maker company, and thus the gang of 2 from UF together with the other gang of 4 from phone-maker company appeared at Zouk at 4pm sharp ( Read more... )

For a couple of years since I started working, I've been landing myself a new job rather close to my birth month. Hence, I like to think of the new jobs as birthday presents I got myself ( Read more... )

It felt like such a long tiring week, with the mounting pile of work and the awaiting of The Phonecall. No news still and I don't feel comfortable at all. I hate waiting for news.

Anyway yesterday was the usual back-to-back-meetings-all-day kind of day, and there was the celebration dinner of the recent win with Oracle at Margarita's @ Dempsey Hill ( Read more... )

I didn't realise doing almost nothing except faking smiles, making small talks, and moving around can be so draining. Of cos, there was the fire-fighting at a client's site to wrap it all up.

I sat at the couch spacing out for a good ten minutes before heading home.

One of my 'M's earned his first million when he turned 29. He's not exactly a risk-taker, but when he does identify an opportunity, he goes for it big-time. I might not agree with all the decisions he make, but I truly admire him for his visions. Needless to say, he lost that first million quickly too, but now that he is into his early forties, he' ( Read more... )

It's 2.30am and I'm still in the office with two guys rushing on a tender submission due tomorrow. My eyes are barely open and I've a surgery tomorrow. :(

Anyway for this particular tender, we are collaborating with this creative agency and it's really kind of funny when you put geeks in the same room with creative folks. Typical conversations held ( Read more... )

Lazing on the Tioman beach over the weekend while the rest were busy diving through the day was such a luxury! My first time there, and the Paya Beach resort was really pleasant. According to the Bee, this resort is nice compared to the one at Genting. Will post up some videos soon!

I should really pick up diving soon...

Have you met someone that fits the following description lately:
- super huge, bursting ego
- "I-am-always-right" mindset
- petty
- badmouths you behind your back and claims he's not 
- immatured
- unprofessional attitude

Well, I've met yet another just recently, and I simply can't understand the existence of such people. I mean, this is the typical ( Read more... )

These days, there's totally no mood for work at all. I think I'm starting to lose that line between work and play. Somehow, it seems to revert back to school days, where I dread the moment while I'm facing the work, and I'm stressing over incomplete work while playing.

I need both my due rest and mood for work back. And the right mentality at the ( Read more... )

I like the environment up here in the MMC in SPH. MMC houses teams like AsiaOne, RazorTV and Storm. There're two table-soccer sets and one pool table at the relax corner, and a few sofas with a mini library of books at the entrance of MMC. TVs are everywhere playing all different channels. There's even the real-life figure of Master Yoda, dressed ( Read more... )
