The best part is not when they're spinning but how they fall off the stage after so many rounds of spinning. :D But I'm sure that's also part of the acting only la. Anyway, these guys are pro! I'm suspecting that helmet guy is actually an ape. That's why he wears everything from top to bottom. :P

Barack Obama’s Inaugural Address
And the transcript of Barack Obama's Inaugural Address is available here.
As the world and we are going through many dramatic transitions, be it our planet, economy, technology and science, people and their lives, most of them are facing their ever harshest hurdles. And against all these challenges that have befallen on humans, there came Obama. That's how I see this man (and I'm a big sci-fi fan). I've never seen him giving speeches to the people until his Inaugural Address on the day he took his oath as the President. And most importantly we haven't seen him changing anything yet. But, I think we still can afford our hopes on this man. Yes HOPE. And to beef up our hopes, we need to believe, not just on him, but also on our hopes to this man. He's now my superstar. He's my inspiration.

Memo ~ Completion of my 1st great challenge of 2009
Yesterday we did a demo session to the top management of our prospect. And it was the first time I've ever done a demo to so many people (by counting 1 VIP = 2 or 3 persons depending on his rank). They were led by the Country Manager who was accompanied by the left and right guardians (some directors).
So the few days before the demo, again I had been obsessed with all the details which I had to memorize to present to the audience the full extent that our solution is able to offer. We went through a few rounds in the office to rehearse it to the best and within the limited time allowed. So, there were a number of feedback and each required me to change the way I went with the demo.
Then on the day of demo, we set up our equipments and had our seats in front of the audience inside their conference room. We started by giving an introduction of our company profile and products followed by the solution which we are proposing to them. When I was doing the demo, I could feel my dancing heartbeats from start to the end. And my voice was shaking like I was confessing in a lawful court. But fortunately in the end, I was able to do every step necessary without missing any one of them and it was done within time.
After the demo, we had conversations among ourselves about how we had done it together. And I realized that I was not alone to feel that kind of pressure while we were in the room. In fact, I had observed my boss that he didn't give his speech the way he used to do as well. And I was kinda hurt by his unconsciously (I put it this way because I do believe everyone of us was pressured considerably) rude act during the demo. But thanks to his bitter lesson I will never do the same thing which I had done ever again in front of him.
So, everyone has pressure ma. You have, I have, even the uncle in the bus also had. Why pushed me? :)
And that's my 1st huge task in 2009. Phew~ Take a moment to chill out now.

Memo ~ How I entered year 2009
OK, first thing was, my plan for my own home sweet home screwed up in 2008.
But hey, I had a wonderful ending to conclude my job in that year too (despite an awkward start). So, that should have evened it.
And the thing that was closest to the year end was about moving out to a new place and getting back to my solo life once again.
Again (I've told myself many times), life is full of surprises and it doesn't always go the way we like it or plan it. What's more important is after a setback, we should find the good sides of it first. So what's good about it now? I have a bigger and more comfortable bed (though I haven't had a good sleep yet), a big TV (which I still haven't figured out the way to play my DVD player on it yet), a fully-auto washing machine (I just realized what's the most important invention around my living), a spacey bathroom (with a water heater! wow!) and a brand new neighborhood. Oh, I now have a basketball court within walking distance from my condo too, isn't that the coolest thing ever? :D
Well, me and my parents spent 3 full days moving all the stuff out from my ex- living place (and not to mention how interesting that was). And I basically had to re-start my life by setting up the Internet, locating the best spot for my PC, getting fit into my new bed, and most importantly finding the best way to enjoy my new driving experience to work in the new traffic.
Happy new year 2009~
