閒裡裝忙

Translate to English by Google

俗語說:『忙裡偷閒居酒屋,閒裡裝忙真工夫』。老闆花錢請你上班,就是要看到你鞠躬盡瘁為他掙錢,因此不管是真是假,你都要讓老闆感覺你是公司中過勞死呼聲最高的候選人,絕對不能讓別人有任何〝你很閒〞的可怕念頭。

今天先從你的座位開始談起︰千萬不要以為把自己的座位擦拭得乾淨無比、桌面整理的井然有序,就能得到上司或老闆更多的賞識。聽我說,你必須忘掉這些從小所被教導的觀念,這可是社會,是玩真的!所以不要懷疑,你的的座位要越亂越好。

為什麼?因為沒有一個忙碌的人會有時間整理自己身邊的環境,老闆一點兒也不會希望看到你乾淨整齊的辦公隔間,這只能證明你時間真多,居然可以把自己的座位弄得和IKEA的辦公傢具展示區一樣。所以你以為美好的生活習慣可以贏得大家的掌聲?錯!請看下面的說明: Continue reading 閒裡裝忙

How to sort out the messages in new redesigned Facebook

I’m not Facebook user, but I find following article usefuly to the Facebook user who get sick of the recent “enhancement”. The unwelcome facebook redesigned flooding the user with all kinds of streaming updates which may not be necessary.

April 07, 2009CIO — When Facebook redesigned the look and feel of its site last month, the social network took some design cues from Twitter, the service that allows users to share short messages with their friends, family and colleagues. Twitter has been referred to as a “streaming” application; since updates occur in real-time, it causes a river of content to flow down the center of users’ home pages.

Honeymoon in Maldives

Pool View from Kandooma Cafe

We have not plan for honeymoon trip until we checked the singapore airlines website recently. We notice the air ticket have reduced 40% from 1 month ago.
With this saving we started to do the booking of the honeymoon trip 1 week before the departure date.

The air ticket part was easy as only Singapore Airlines have direct and lowest fare. But the accomandation is a big headache to us. As u may not know Maldives have 1190 islands only 190 inhabited. There are over hundreds resorts in various islands. Most of the resorts occupied the whole island by itself. We have spent more than 3 days in run thru all the internet search engines and portals. The most useful portal I come across iswww.mymaldives.com. This portal have the usual Maldives Travel information and hotel resorts list in Maldives with distance from Airport. The best part is the list of hotel official website, this made my life easy to check the availablity instantly and enjoy direct online booking saving without go thru online travel agents.

We have chosen Kandooma Maldives as this is relatively new resorts with attractive rate. We book for 6 nights plus late checkout as our return flight is near mid-night. Continue reading Honeymoon in Maldives

Our ROM Solemnization at Labrador Park

P1020444

Yeah rite we have decided to settle down finally. We did not planed to ROM in Singapore until late September when we planed to move to Parc Oasis in Jurong. While we explored the date to ROM,suddenly realized 1st Nov is our 3rd years together. From then we start our plan for the ROM in Singapore, we later noticed ROM registry office did not opened on the date we wanted, we have the option to invite the solemnizer for solemnization outside ROM.

While searching for the ROM venue, we expert the place to have nice scenery, quiet, greenery and close to nature. Somehow Labrador park pop-up in my mind. All I can recalled from memory was the BBQ session with my colleagues in Sharp 10 years ago. The park is by the sea and opposite Sentosa Island. After I surf the National Parks website, and book the place immediately. At the end it turn out to be our perfect place for our ROM. 

After decided the time and venue, we started to book for the solemnizer, filling our ROM, Wedding Bands, ROM dress and caterer. Initially we only intended to invite family and close friends for the ceremony, later we changed our mind 1 week before to invite friends and colleagues in Singapore as we know many of them may not able to come to our customary wedding dinner in Malaysia. The caterer was a big headache for us, inflexible to satisfy our requirement, slow in respond and the worst is denied the offer agreed previously. We decided to move on and deal with them later. ;)

The big question mark for us was the whole ceremony process and decoration, we want to make it simply and unique. Balloons only appear in our mind 3 days before ROM. We have a brief meeting with Kok Pin and decided the whole decoration in 2 hours time. At the same time Venice’s friend Boon Soon gave us idea of making the balloons floats by inflating with helium gas. 

ROM Preparation

The bicycle ride was NiangZi’s idea when we first visit the park. In the end we managed to get the bicycle and helium gas tank on the day before ROM. This sound like amazing race for me. It turn out of me amazing ROM.

 ROM Setup

The bicycle’s number plate was last minute work from BS. We enjoyed the whole ride completely from the bicycle’s decoration, balloons, cans, poppers to the music.

2008 Singapore Grand Prix - First F1 Night Race

Singtel Singapore Grand Prix 2008

This weekend 26-28 Sep is the Singapore Grand Prix
Formula One race set to stage its inaugural event on 28 September 2008. To be staged in the Marina Bay area of Singapore. The first Formula One Grand Prix in Singapore will also be Formula One’s first night race.

The tight and challenging Nurburgring circuit will host the German Grand Prix next weekend. As the ‘home’ race for Nico Rosberg, Nick Heidfeld, Timo Glock and Adrian Sutil, BMW, Mercedes and the Toyota team, the event has special significance for many on the grid. Here the drivers and senior team personnel explain why they can’t wait to head for the mountains to tackle the legendary track…
In what record-breaking time did Usain Bolt complete the 100m run at last year’s Olympics? Who won the 2007 GP2 championship and how many points did he score? How many colleges are there at the famous Oxford University? And what is Japan’s best-selling pop song? These are just some of the questions we thought Kazuki Nakajima would take in his stride after he agreed to be the latest participant in our personal trivia test, ‘Ask the Expert’…
There may not be a Grand Prix this weekend, but don’t be fooled - the majority of Formula One teams will still be in action at the UK’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. Brawn, McLaren, Ferrari, Williams, Toyota and Red Bull are all scheduled to attend the annual three-day celebration of motorsport, which gets under way on Friday.
McLaren have confirmed that the team will be heading to Russia later this month to take part in the Moscow City Racing event. The annual motorsport festival, which is expected to attract thousands of Muscovites, will be held on July 19. Heikki Kovalainen will be in action in the British team’s championship-winning MP4-23 for the spectacle, which will take place on a 4.5-kilometre street circuit right in the heart of the Russian city, with St Basil’s Cathedral, Red Square and the Kremlin all providing stunning backdrops.
Red Bull have announced that Spanish teenager Jaime Alguersuari will serve as their reserve driver from next weekend’s German Grand Prix. Alguersuari, who became the youngest-ever British Formula Three champion last year, replaces fellow Red Bull junior driver Brendon Hartley, who has held the post since May’s Spanish race. “With the ban on in-season testing, Red Bull views the appointment of a third driver as part of its young driver training programme, allowing a driver to follow all activities of the F1 teams over a race weekend,” explained the team in a statement. “Having benefited from this experience over the first half of the year, Hartley will now concentrate on his own racing programme in the European F3 series.”
