The Great Office War, IT vs Sales

One of my friends shared this video on the facebook. I find this hilarious!

I guess people who work in the office especially the IT or Sales department would be able to appreciate this video better

Used to hear some friends working in the IT department complained that their Sales team at times might over-promise to the client on something or delivery of something that the IT team finds it could be impossible due to technical, technological, budget or time constraints.

Guess that could be one of the reasons for the war.

昨天是农历八月十五中秋节。收音机电台FM958频道播了这首歌 《我爱月亮》，觉得蛮好听，蛮活泼的。曲子有一段让我觉得像跳印度舞蹈的旋律。

上 youtube 搜索了一下，原来是那么久之前的歌。我还没上幼儿园呢！
歌手叫"李佩菁", 词曲作者：岳勋，收录於1977年出版 【我爱月亮】专辑。

有一个风雨的夜晚 我正在回家的路上
那风雨打在我脸庞 有一个念头跑进我心坎

假如我是一个月亮 我愿意高高挂天上
放出那柔和的光芒 温暖了人们的心房 (月亮）
假如我是一个月亮 我愿意高高挂天上
只因那失意的姑娘 教她们不要再彷徨

我照耀着那照耀着那微弱的光芒 我照耀着那照耀着从大城和小巷
我照耀着那照耀着那在那银河畔 我照耀着那照耀着从山村到海港

** 假如我是一个月亮 我愿意高高挂天上
在夜里时常放光芒 愿有情人儿都成双 （月亮）

我照耀着那照耀着那微弱的光芒 我照耀着那照耀着从大城和小巷
我照耀着那照耀着那在那银河畔 我照耀着那照耀着从山村到海港 **

假如我是一个月亮 我愿意高高挂天上
在夜里放光芒 愿有情人儿都成双

雨停了
假如我是一个月亮
假如我是一个月亮
我愿意高高挂天上

The Olympics FUWAs, it is a blessing or curse?

Some thoughts ran in my head when I saw this article about the FUWAs from the daily Sin Ming newspaper. I cut it and scanned this into my blog.

Well, these FUWAs are regarded as auspicious symbols for Beijing Olympics 2008.
However due to the natural disasters that had happened in China, some blamed to these FUWAs to be a curse.

These comments about the FUWAs brought back my memory of some haunted stories told by my ex-colleagues a bout 8-10 years ago. Remember Teletubbies?
There were myths of spirits residing in these dolls and caused kids to behave unusually.

So, shall I still collect these FUWAs toy from McDonalds Happy Meal?
I've already got 3 toys, but I didn't make it to a complete set of collection before the promotion over.

Nevertheless, I believe Beijing will overcome all difficulties, and wish Beijing Olympics Success!

Beijing Olympics FUWA Mascots at People's Park, Chinatown, Singapore

Some months back I went People's Park, near Chinatown for lunch. I saw these 5 funny mascots roaming around. They are the FUWA for the coming Beijing Olympics. I guess the travel agency was doing some promotion. These mascots were very cute and friendly, when they saw me taking out my camera, they formed a row and posed in front for me.

I used to feel no excitement about Olympics as I don't really like sports. "Olympics? what's it to do with me?".

Perhaps because the coming Olympics is held in Beijing, China this round, a place where there are Chinese. Through the radio and news, I hear of efforts and measures China did to overcome difficulties to embrace this Olympics Games 2008. Rules were implemented to reduce air pollution. Eating "dog meat" is banned. I feel these gestures show a form of respect to the many cultures of the guests who will be arriving to Beijing. This round I feel I could better appreciate Olympics , its pride, its significance, bringing harmony and Unity of World Peace.

Nevertheless, nothing much "excitements" happening in Singapore for coming Beijing Olympics, Only commercials from radios, TV, & posters from travel agencies. At least these 5 roaming mascots at People's Park "injected" some gist for the coming Olympics into the atmosphere in Singapore.

Mooncake making session

I've learnt to make Lotus paste & nutty traditional baked mooncake last week.
This evening I've learnt to make walnut moon cake & Snow Skin moon cake.
However, I've no oven at home. Nevertheless, Snow Skin moon cake doesn't need the oven. I'm so excited to go into practice. Targeting to do it this weekend. As for the recipe, there are many missing points that need to be added to the notes. Therefore, will have to practice and reinvent my own receipe.

1st experience at Explanade with PLAY! A Video Game Symphony

Loonz brought me to the Esplanade for a concert last evening. The Singapore Festival Orchestra conducted by Arnie Roth (USA/Singapore) Asian Premiere, presented "PLAY! A Video Game Symphony. It's a wonderful experience. While they were playing the symphony, the screen showed the games animation, e.g. Super Mario, Blue Dragon, The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, Sonic the Hedgedog, Kingdom Hearts, World of Warcraft, Lost Odyssey... etc and the concert ended with a final bonus "Shinobe", one of the very old games.
It's the first time I went to the Esplanade for a concert. When I first entered the concert hall, it's awesome. Here's a picture of the concert hall taken before the programme started with my mobile. (quite blur). The orchestra was practising then, sound without the conducter was "NOISE".
While i was enjoying the music and the visual, it struck my mind it would be magnificent if we could have 3 dimensional effect visual (like to omni theatre at Science Centre) together with live symphony orchestra. That will be Woo La la!

Photo taken by chance

Last Wednesday, 13 June, made an appointment with Serene and Angelin for lunch. It was Serene's last week working at HarbourFront office, next week she will be posted to her back office at Ubi.
While I was making my way to seek for sunflower for Serene, just then a few helicopters flew by. The picture on the right is the picture I happen to have taken with my new mobile phone, sony ericsson K618i.
Talking about my mobile... sigh... my previous one its screen went blank out again. It's the 3rd time. Luckily it went blank out just after I received Loonz's call when he was back to Changi Airport at 5:15am last Sunday 10 June. Now, my address book gone again.
Hmm.. seems that I have taken this picture quite well, I think they are rehearsing for the National Day.

My New Toy

Loonz is back, and he has given me a nice surprise that he has brought all the way back from South Africa!! This is my new soft toy tiger... no... it's a cub, lion. I couldn't help calling it tiger, i dunno why.

Isn't it cute....? I'm going to hug it, squeeze it, swing it and crash it until it can't breath. (Elmayra in tiny toons... hahaha)
