Cool video ~ Video-game moves in wrestling match

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.

You have to watch the video to learn what exactly is meant by that. I can't wait to see what he's gonna do in his next slam dunk competition this year.

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~

Digg ~ 10 of the World's Most Fantastic Tombs

Throughout the history of human civilization, different cultures mourn and treat the dead differently. Some, like Tibetan Buddhists, have no use for burials as they dispose the dead by feeding corpses to vultures or by burning them in funeral pyres. Most cultures, however ...


I always find myself attracted by the dark side of life but death has little to do about it (yet?). However, when I'm looking at these magnificent tombs I still can't resist the deadly beautiful ideas behind them. They really are SOMETHING ain't it? I mean, did the aliens build it or what? :P

What the??? LOL... Just look at how those guys got faked and reacted in the end. :D :D :D

Memo ~ Good time comes after hard time

Over the course of the past few weeks, things were quite harsh on me. I was busy with my increasing workload in the new D, looking for a condo unit to buy, looking for a room to rent in (ya, it's different from finding a place to buy), and having all this balanced with my life.

But this time, though I was surrounded with all these setbacks altogether, I was still able to resolve all of them (to a certain extent of happy ending) in the end. Well, to me I would usually prefer to settle things one at a time and only one after another. Oh hell ya, I didn't go into detail about the sub-setbacks in those major setbacks yet. But sometimes life could go against your wish (not a perfect world?).

The last 2 days were quite inspirational and fruitful to me. In the 1st day morning, I did an enterprise solution demo in front of the most-ever number of prospects along with my fellow teammates. And the day before I was still stuck with another project task right until 3a.m. midnight. I wasn't able to complete that task but I think I DID IT RIGHT. Ofttimes when there are a few things for you to do, pick those which you're confident to finish first and get the best result; don't do all at the same and in the end never finished any of them and yet try to find an excuse for it. So the demo? I felt exhausted but was impressed by what I was able to accomplish as the result. It's the best among the 3 demos I've done so far.

Then in the 2nd day, it was the appraisal done by our boss. Well, all I can say is it turned out to be better than what I had expected. And also, I felt like having been helped by some (the following words failed to be translated) 'expensive persons' (wuahaha :D) to get things go smooth that way too.

So in the coming year, I can foresee things are coming tough and tougher again (and it's gonna be tough to most people in Asia). But I'll just continue to take them heads on until I otherwise give up. I told one of my colleagues the other day that as long as we have the people inside (colleagues and bosses) to help us (in most cases, that's the most we can hope for la), then we can rest assured that things are going to get done no matter how (someone told me before company won't fail because of you right?). We're feeling pressured now is also because we have put in expectations and responsibilities onto ourselves but simply not aware of it.

So, well done to myself for this year 2008. Hope to see you get it going and going and going... in year 2009! And best wish to the nation!

(If I believe I can do it, I CANnnn! Behh~~~)

Funny joke ~ Why Ah Beng isn't at work?

Ah Beng was walking along his work area one day and saw his friend Ah Mute.

Ah Mute can't speak so he needed to use sign language to communicate.

Ah Mute signaled why Ah Beng isn't at work.

Ah Beng then looked around and gathered some leaves under the tree and stood on them.

He looked at Ah Mute and pointed down at the leaves.

Ah Mute was confused.

Later Ah Sian passed by and saw Ah Beng standing on the leaves.

Ah Mute then signaled Ah Sian on what is Ah Beng trying to say...

Ah Sian then typed down in his handphone and showed it to Ah Mute.

Can you guess what's Ah Beng trying to say?

Try lah! very easy!

Really duno???

"Aiyo so simple, Ah Beng Is On Leave lor!"

Hahaha!!

Short story with beautiful message

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, 'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.'

The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.'

'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father.

'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl.

'If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go.'

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.

So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours...
