Each event gives rise to new perspectives, new fears, new strengths and even new ideals. By contemplating on the meaning of these events, I seek to expand my mind's vistas and thus becoming a better me.Ericoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17589411674636723717noreply@blogger.comBlogger69125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12569044.post-1131584907388962612005-11-10T08:58:00.000+08:002005-11-10T09:08:27.406+08:00

I was with Sabrina yesterday at a vendor's office. I noticed the file she's using coz it's a very elegent black leather file. I noticed the cure tiny little logo on the file but couldn't recognize the symbol. I asked her what it was and she was surprised I didn't know. Honestly, I don't know.I have been telling Mastura about my recent craze on all things metal, leather and canvas. I wanted a bag

After four years of using Lotus Notes Mail, you will never fail to learn something new about it once in a while. This software tool is a ubiquitous dinosaur that can be found being used only in large corporate organizations. While savvy netizens out there area embracing Google Gmail and Mozilla Thunderbird, corporate users are still languishing in the archaic PC era.I was trying to organize my

"Micasa Sucasa" means "My house is Your house".Yesterday, in the morning, I chanced upon this lovely phrase while watching Monster-In-Law. Viola (Jane Fonda) mentioned it to Charlie (Jennifer Lopez)'s friends during the night-before-the-wedding dinner. Btw, JL is HOT in the sexy apple green dress.Yesteday, in the afternoon, I chanced upon this phrase again while watching Madagascar when Marty

I read about Rosa Parks yesterday, about how a single black woman, for refusing to give up her bus seat for a white man forty years ago, galvanized an entire nation to fight for liberation and human dignity, and subsequently changed American history forever.Today, the story of a black woman's disobedience to fulfill her 'duty' to give up her bus seat for a white man was briefly shown as I watched

I was watching Michael Moore's documentary film Columbine for Bowling (absolutely brilliant production by the way) when I spotted a black and white symbol that is unmistakenly familiar to all Malaysians. I couldn't screen-cap the shot from the film yet, but I Googled and this is what I found...See anything similar? Coincidence maybe?

Another momentous occasion. Google Print is finally here. This convergence of digital and print technologies truly heralds the 21st century of human civilization - albeit on a search and discovery mode only. Finding books is supposed to be easy, it seems.Gosh, I wonder why Amazon did not do this. Copyright infringement issues and nervousnous from some prominent publishers still lingers, but

Finally! After weeks of inactivity, I found the 'mood' to come online again. So much have happened. Sigh, why do time flies so fast. Especially when you are enjoying every moment of it.Major projects at work and moving to a new place really took up lots of my time. Still it was no excuse not to have updated this blog of mine... hehehe. I should have at least checked.Anyway, staying in TTDI is

Been very very very very very busy lately.Got myself a brand new PC about three weeks ago. Badly needed a new system to do new stuff. I needed the raw processing and memory power to sustain my interests on the latest and exciting developments of frontier world of technology.Apart from that, I've been running around to re-orientate my life again. To discover new goals, throwing out old ideals, etc

A very close friend of mine was fortunate to visit Japan for a one month long training course. I was overjoyed for her. Experiencing a foreign culture for such a long period of time is a very defining moment in one's life journey.Here are some of her photos (lots of it actually) which she's happy to share with us all. Thank you so much dear (you know who you are), luv you dearly for this, ;-)Sigh

Every quarter, my company holds a tea-talk session that provides the opportunity for management to share with all employees on the company's overall performance, key initiatives' progresses or whatever business issues that are deemed necessarily important for everyone to know.On a recent tea-talk, in one of the presentation segments, my MD/CEO presented our Employee Satisfaction Survey (ESS)

Roughly three weeks ago, I had the good fortune of standing in for a colleague of mine to cover for a particular TV coverage for a restaurant in USJ 11, Subang Jaya. I was actually quite apprehensive at first about the assignment since I have no journalistic experience before this - even more so when it comes to describing gourmet food. That morning, I prepped myself with enough intelligent

Gosh, the haze is back again.Packed to go back early but was surprised to find that I couldn't see anything at all outside my office windows.

Years ago, I was overjoyed when my father decided that we can have an encyclopedia collection for the family. I couldn't remember the collection's name now, but I do remember, vividly, many of the first-time-seen images that had made an impact on my young and impressionable life then.And now, I remember about a particular one.

It's always great when you can combine two skills together in the pursuit of perfection. While I was learning computer programming, I picked up a few digital graphics and animation techniques. Pure fun all the way.My uni's library had a good collection of computer literature. Major research works on computer graphics will, invariably, make some references to a few images of objects, scenes or

I admit it takes a long time for me to compose anything in English. Sometimes, a posting on this blog will require 2 hours. I was never coherent in my thoughts and thus found it very hard to concentrate my ideas, if there are any at all, into consistent sentences.Constipation.Remember the principles of good English writing that we were once thought in school? Simple and concise but not monotonous
