Added a countdown timer to blogspot , shows the time left i have with the company... 244 days more...
A So-SO Chinese New Year
Never go house visiting this year. Just the usual Chinatown Grab-Cheap-Goodies on Eve with Sec Sch Frens and then went to Josh's place for some makan and games session.
It rained during CNY Eve, makes the Chinatown experience a bit sickening. But nevertheless we still manage to roam till 3+ in the morning. There is no fireworks at Marina. This year, there isnt much to see, everything is contained on the floating platform, no pasar malam, just some food stalls underneath the grandstand seats. So embrassing when someone ( i think are european boys ) ask us after the firecrackers , "is that all ? no fireworks? "

皮之不存，毛將焉附
The aftermath of the Motorola Massacre ( Jan 15th ) . Not only is Singapore Design Centrea affected ( Damage is 100% wiped out ) , sites and colleageus we worked with for the past few years has all been impacted. This is truly a sad moment to record in our history books. This is like my 911 .
The blood bath is unbearable, now we have to bear with the aftermath. 皮之不存，毛將焉附, without SDC, will the remaining 40 people here left to clear up the mess worth how much ?

A letter to my Team
This are the photos we took today, it looks fabulous with everyone in Black! Too bad we missed out Gabriel, John and the team in Taipei. Anyway maybe we can ask Gab to do some superimposing on it. Lets take another one tomorrow with our disney souvenirs!
Anyway, in about 11 hours , D-Hour will arrive in Singapore . Some of you will end up in Grp 1, some in Grp 2 and some will stay in Grp 3. No matter which group you are in, i hope everyone makes the best use of that and move forward. Find a job, go study, take a break, do whatever you wanted to do but never have a chance because of the long hours your boss ask you to work. Scrub CRs, Host calls, Do Deck etc. I have been in moto for 8 years and i consider myself the lucky one because i get a chance to start my manager career in 2004 and with a great team with me, i fly high and fly fast in my career. In about 4 years , DM team became a 21 man strong ( including IA ) across 2 sites and we make a name out of ourselves with the teams across the globe. That alone is a achievement i will remember for the rest of my life. Never have i worked with people like you all that is dedicated and fun loving. Although it is sad that DM team will become history , but when this door closed, another one will open. It may open later but just like red wine , the longer you wait, the better it tastes. LIke i always told my Taipei team, 接受， 面对， 放下
We joke a lot in our work, we complain about others in our work too , those are memories i will never forget. ( especially all the pizza parties and the sync ups and 三先生!!!) I love seeing you guys crowd around and chat and joke . it igives me a feeling that we build a strongly bonded team , it makes what we are doing a career and not just a job. I hate to say farewell , yet we have to say farewell to some of us, but we will sure meet again. The future in unpredicatable and tomorrow is so uncertain, no one knows what will happen.
So lets all face tomorrow just like the way we face our CRs and SQA , if the company think we are s3p2 and not SA stopper, then let them terminate us bah. The world is round, until we meet again, keep the DM spirit burning!

Ditched by moto after 8 years
Great teams dont stay, thats a fact of life.
When one door closed on you, a few other open.. just that some will take longer to open
but just like red wine, the longer u wait, the better it tastes
if u are good , u are good no matter what u do and where u are.
Signing off a chapter in Life with motorola....

朋友
繁星流動和你同路 從不相識開始心接近
默默以真摯待人 人生如夢朋友如霧
難得知心幾經風暴 為著我不退半步
正是你 遙遙晚空點點星光息息相關
你我那怕荊棘舖滿路 替我解開心中的孤單
是誰明白我 情同兩手一起開心一起悲傷
彼此分擔總不分我或你 你為了我 我為了你
共赴患難絕望裡緊握你手 朋友

What Does 1, 2 , 3 means ?
1 - Get $$$ , Get a new life and move on.
2 - Give you some more time , take the money , get a new life and move on
3 - Chained eternally
Pros and Cons
1. You are ensured 1 month per year of service, if you are lucky you get a job in less than a month and you get on with a new career with a lump sum of money as savings. However looking at the economy now , you probably will not be able to find a job so soon. Consider that retrencement now is globally and there are a lot of people that will be eyeing on the same job as you do. And there is a potential that you will also suffer a paycut.
2. You get to have a job and find a new job at the same time , however, severance package may changed and you may not get as much as grp 1. Moreover, who can guarantee they dont change or extend the timeframe when your time is up
3. You dont get the $$$, but u keep your job. Probably wont have a career anymore but if Motorola gets another Steve Jobs, you became the elite group that bring MDB back to life.
Either 1 2 or 3, this is already sealed. Bosses are typing the letters and verdict will be out next week. Whichever one that you get assigned to , take it , accept it and move on. Just make sure you make friends with people in (3) cos you can always come back next time :)
