Bye Bye Letter #1

What you would write if you want to say bye bye

All,
Today is my last day at XXX. Starting Monday I will be trying to make an impact on YYY.

When I think about the last few years, I think WIG.
It's been a very rewarding project. It got the best and worst out of me. It forced the abolishment of artificial barriers and creative thinking. It was responsible for hours of frustration and days of fun. It was very uplifting to see it rise from a simple idea to a solution making an impact on the shipment of phones while saving hundreds of millions of dollars in the process. In addition, it was a very unique opportunity for me to learn and grow with the project as an engineer and a person.
None of it would have been possible without the help and input of so many of you. I enjoyed every minute of it. I appreciate every comment and every piece of criticism.
I hope it made a positive impact on your daily routine and made your work a little bit easier.
Until next time, then

Mr A

Power of Wi-Fi

Never really truly appreciate the power of WiFi until today. Waiting for a friend to go for a chill out session. Took out my laptop at burger king and boom! ,

I can post a short blog :)

Mosquitone - Can you hear it ?

Recently , there is a tone call the Mosquitone. This tone comprises of high freqency notes which only people under the age of 25 can hear it. Try it! I already have it on my mobile phone :)

You are an easily repelled teenager

The mosquito device was made for the likes of you. You are probably begging to make the noise stop! The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 18.8kHz

Find out which ringtones you can hear!

Size does matter when climbing the corporate ladder ?

I read this article in the Newpaper today... and find it quite interesting.. here is part of the extract...

Thinking of asking for that pay raise ? Then add an extra mile to your daily runs... If you are about to request for a promotion, you can bnoost your chances of success by adding an extra hour to your workouts in the gym. Like it or not , Looks do matter.

... In order to acheive big dre3ams, you need a slim waist.

If you think this is unfair because a person's performance is measured based on his physical appearnace instead of his ability to perform, think about it again for the next 10 minutes ::

If you are slim, you tend to be fitter. While fat office workers lumber around and often seem to be out of breadth, Skinny ones are energetci and able to scamper from one boardroom meeting to another. They tend to be healthier too because medically has been proven obesity are linked with hear disease , diabetes , high blood pressure and a host of other life threatening ailments.

... Looks like my decision to engage personal training in CFC is the right move!

SAF Day

Today is SAF Day. July 1st , 2006. This day marks the 41st anniversary of the presence of SAF in Singapore .

军人节对我们服过兵的工作人士又带来什么意义呢 ?

This day doesn't mean much to me really, except this year , NSMen will be joining in to commemorate this event. On a friday afternoon, they will be wearing their No.4 and gather at designated spots to sing national anthem and recite the pledge.

Luckily i wasn't ärrowed to go :)

My Personality Assessment

I went for a 2 day course @ Conrad. The course name is Coaching for Performance and Development. There is a exercise which we need to complete a 400 questions survey and it will give us a personality asssessment of ourselves. This is what i got ..

Strengths : Willing to take initiative in a group , and able to assume lead roles on team projects. Others see me as energetic , talkative and socially active.

Shortcomings : Need to understand sensitive situations and avoid being irritable or emotionally inconsistent when these situations arise.. Having high standards for myself and others may have trouble delegating or priortizing.

I think is quite true... Suddenly , i have a interests in reading more books on Personality Asssessment. How well do we really know ourselves ?

Beautiful game turns rough..

The game between Netherlands and Portugal on Sunday night saw 20 cards ( 4 red ) being issued within the game of 90 minutes.

Where are all the sportmanship ? We saw headbutting.. hard tackling, mass confrontations...

High Expectation -> High Disappointment

3 trips to Taipei in search for Ah Zhong Mian Xian.. I finally found it on the 3rd attempt... The price is reasonable.. $2 per bowl. The queue is long..

So i quickly get my friend to go and queue and buy one bowl to share and decide how good i should rate is. 7/10 or 8/10 ? Everyone is talking about it back in Singapore.. "Must Try! Must Try! "

It isn't that fantastic really.. maybe the taste and flavour doesn't suit us.. Every bowl that was returned is emptied and cleaned. We are so paiseh.. we walk about 50 metres away , and while no one is seeing, pour everything into the thrash...

So much for Ah Zhong Mian Xian...

Travelling in pairs for buisness trip is always fun. Especially if you and your travelling partner are on the same freq.

1. Your meals wun be so boring. You do not have to talk to the food anymore.
2. Your shopping trips become more expensive. Your buddy give u comments and u usually will appreciate them and make some purchase.
3. Your after work time passed faster.
4. You can go to a pub or disco and people will not think you are there alone trying to hook someone up.
5. You have someone to wake you up in the morning for work.
6. Most importantly , you get to know each other better!!

Taipei - Mar22 to Mar25

On a biz trip to taipei to meetup with some developers. Weather is cooling.. much better than my recent trip there in November. I like cool weather, because people can dress very nicely in furry winter clothings.

I ate a $100 SGD japanese Set dinner.. and i am still hungry now! When you do not have to pay for something, u tend to just pay and dun think about it. :)

1000 situps - Everyone can do it

I never knew i can do 1000 sit ups. When i was in my incamp training, my CO ( a regular ) tell us we are going to do it on the last day of the in camp training. We all thought he is joking. 1000 situps ? haha...

That is equlivalent to a Infantry NSMen taking IPPT and acheiving GOLD award for 25 years ( 25 x 40 ) , Am i really going to do it in one morning.

Finally the day came, my CO REALLY DID 1000 situps.. the rest of us.. DID COUNT to 1000 while doing the sit up.. Well, some really did, some did the non-standard situps.. but watever the case, i think that is still an accomplishment.

Some things which you think you cannot do it when you are doing it alone, became very possible if you are doing it in a group. Just try counting to 1000 when you are reading this.. i am sure you are going to give up. But if you do it in a group, you may just find it very easy .
