Time passes real fast, our time left with Moto is about 5 months. The amount of workload / projects in the office is getting lesser and lesser. At the same time , we have a few more cases of colleagues finding jobs and requesting for early release.

Through K.T, i get to know that C.B. is also looking around for business opportunities. I spend an hour talking with him today. As he mentioned , the higher you are in the rank , the higher you are paid and the harder you will find to get a job outside especially in the current global situation. C.B. is looking at partnership and see if there is an opportunity to do something we can really call our own. I am quite interested in his vision and decided that well maybe i should not get myself tied to a job now first. Moreover Mrs Chan indicated a very strong interest to take a break in europe and states. In Fact she already done the planning and completed it for 12 days europe trip. Yippee!

Starting a Business isnt tough, running a business is the challenging one. If i dont try, i will never know if i will like it or not. Even though it fails, it probably will be a valuable lesson in life and i believe i will definately learn something out from that experience. I wouldnt consider myself a late starter. In chinese they call it ????? . having been working for the past 9 years, i have gained enough experience to venture on my own and not too late to afford any major failures i hope. Giving myself 12 to 18 months of time span, even if it doesnt work out, i can still go out to look for a job , dont forget i will very soon be PMP and ITIL certified. Haha.

Maybe i should really start thinking about this seroiusly. A couple of actions i should start doing
1. Get the proposal template from C.B. and start working and identifying on “opportunities”
2. Get some good books on business proposals and startup.

I hope this isnt another “??????”.

你开着一辆车。
在一个暴风雨的晚上。
你经过一个车站。
有三个人正在焦急的等公共汽车。
一个是快要临死的老人,他需要马上去医院。
一个是医生,他曾救过你的命,你做梦都想报答他。
还有一个女人/男人,她/他是你做梦都想嫁/娶的人,也许错过就没有了。
但你的车只能在坐下一个人,你会如何选择?
我不知道这是不是一个对你性格的测试, 因为每一个回答都有他自己的原因。
老人快要死了,你首先应该先救他。
你也想让那个医生上车,因为他救过你,这是个好机会报答他。
还有就是你的梦中情人。错过了这个机会。你可能永远不能遇到一个让
你这么心动的人了。

200个应征者中,只有一个人被雇佣了,他并没有解释他的理由,他只是说了以下的话:

给医生车钥匙,让他带着老人去医院,而我则留下来陪我的梦中情人一起等公车!’
每个人都认为以上的回答是最好的,但没有一个人一开始就想到。

小哲理:
是否是因为我们从未想过要放弃我们手中已经拥有的优势(车钥匙)? 有时,如果我们能放弃一些我们的固执,狭隘,和一些优势的话,我们可能会得到更多。

Wedding Anniversary

All the people going to the libarary need to hv their details scanned in case they need to be contavcted if swine flu is detected. Seems like this is getting nearer and nearer to us. There is a site that gives up to dates on the areas that are infected. You can find it here . http://www.swineflu.sg/

They even have a map that shows which area is already affected. This is the current outlook

What will you do if you have to be self quarantined for a week at home as part of being socially responsible ? Well if it is me, quaranting at home isnt really a bad thing since

1. I can work from home to get my work done.

2. I can finished up all my tvb series which i have been lacking behind the past few weeks due to Mrs Chan late working schedule ( i usually wait for her to watch the shows unless i cannot resist the temptation )

3. Play my Healmemoto . There are a lot of achievement titles i wanted to get but i didnt have time to do it

4. Finished my books. I am reading the Last Lecture. I still have 2 books in my shelves i havent find time to read ( Both by Sophie Kinsella )

5. Study for my PMP exam. The exam probably going to be in July. Time to get back into the study mood.

6. Work on my business plan. I havent start penning down those thoughts,but self quarantine means i can work on it

Staying at home probably means i need to cook myself or keep callling Macdonald for my meals. Also that will mean i got to think of other ways to continue my AHM training. Maybe round around the house. Haha.

I am still waiting for Singtel to push this to us. I hope this will come in Either this month or early June. Some of the features that we can be expecting in 1.5 and how i feel it will impact me , which directly measures how desperate i am waiting for 1.5

- Availabitly of onscreen keyboard – This doesnt really ring a bell for me since i still prefer the slide out keypad. Makes my typing easier. I tried the on screen keyboard on ipod Touch. No doubt it is better than the onscreen on my android ( the chompSMS has a onscreen keyboard that looks exactly like the ipod version ) , i cant really “feel” the typing.

- Support of Stereo Bluetooth – This probably also wont affect me much cos i do not listen to music on my mobile phone. I use either my ipod nano or ipod touch for music and i only listen to music when i run or when i travel.

- Video Recording! -> this will be moderate useful for me. I dont do a lot of video recording , but if there is one available and i need it , it will come in handy. And it allows direct upload to youtube which is a cool feature especially when you want to share it immedately after you have recorded it.

- Faster and smoother Browser -> High impact for my personal use. The browser probably is the most frequent application i use on my HTC Dream. I used it mainly for my google reader.

- Marginally better battery life -> Super High Impact. The battery life now sucks. Not sure if marginally better battery life = how many more hours. I already ordered a additional 2600mA battery from HK Ebay and it should be on the way and reaching me anytime this week. Cant wait for it.

Faster camera startup and image capturing -> Should be useful. Anything fast is good.

Home screen widgets And Live folders -> probably gimmicks and depends on what apps are written for it.

Copy & Paster within the browser -> Never really notice that 1.1 doesnt have this. I guessed i havent found the use for it yet. Haha.

Specific Date & Time stamp in call log – ANOTHER Thank God improvement
