Something you can entertain your dinner guests while waiting for food

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? “

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 ?

Now what ?

All the announcements are made. People who need to leave left, people who stay stayed and people like me and some others reset our career at moto for another 9 months.

I missed a lot of things.. in particular WL whom i know since i join Moto, lunch for last 8 years and done a lot of other things together….

Sighz…

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, ??? ??? ??

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 ???!!!) 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!
