I've not been blogging for quite some time, so here's a quick note to reassure that I'm well and alive, just too busy with holidays…
I shall have a lengthy post next week to make it all up, yeah? =)

Recommendation Letter?
Saw this, think it's pretty interesting... Imagine getting this kind of reference letter!
Recommendation Letter
Casey ▬▬▬▬▬

John Maloney
President
Tumblr, Inc.
New York, NY
Dear Mr. Maloney,
It is my pleasure to provide this recommendation letter for Christopher Price, his performance working as a Web Developer at ▬▬▬▬▬ proved that he will be an addition to any company.
I have worked with Christopher for five years in my capacity as Director of Web Services for ▬▬▬▬▬. Christopher worked for me on various projects as Web Developer, and based on his work, I would rank him as one of the people named Christopher we have had working for us.
Christopher distinguished himself by consistently working at roughly half his capacity, which fortunately for us is more than enough considering the output of the vast majority of our other employees. His ability to provide adequate, mostly functional web applications at the last possible minute, leaving no time for feedback or changes, was a hallmark of his working style. Christopher is highly intelligent and has good analytical and communication skills, which he frequently utilizes to avoid work, and/or limit the amount of work he has to do. These talents combined resulted in a long, largely uneventful, somewhat productive 15 year run at ▬▬▬▬▬.
In addition to his ability to Google code and copy it, Christopher brought additional skills to the table that you may find of use:
If I can be of any further assistance, or provide you with any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours Sincerely,
Casey ▬▬▬▬▬

These talents combined resulted in a long, largely uneventful, somewhat productive 15 year run at ▬▬▬▬▬.
In addition to his ability to Google code and copy it, Christopher brought additional skills to the table that you may find of use:
- One time I asked him for help on some CSS and he was able to provide it
- We were playing table tennis awhile ago and the ball went off the table in an erratic way to which Christopher responded by nonchalantly kicking the ball back into play without missing a beat
- Some times Christopher attends meetings, and may even add something to the conversation, although it will most likely be about what he ate last night or his hangover
- Christopher’s insatiable appetite for the Internet was quite a challenge for us to keep him on task, but I believe if my Google is accurate that your company has something to do with the Internet, so it is possible this may work to your advantage
- Christopher owns a number of ironic and/or clever t-shirts
- I believe Christopher runs an Internet blog which he has assured us is quite popular, again this is something that was a problem for us, but may prove valuable to your company, although I must admit I have no idea what a Tumblr, Inc. is
- When I forget keyboard shortcuts on my Macintosh, Christopher is always no more than an AOL instant message away and within 45 minutes typically responds with helpful information
If I can be of any further assistance, or provide you with any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours Sincerely,

Luggage
Working in a place where there is quite a number of tourists, of course there will be shops that sell luggages… I have been seeing this particular design whenever I pass by this particular store.
And as you can see, it comes in 3 sizes and prices as follows:
Small: $250
Medium: $320
Large: $350
I'm considering the medium sided one, but the store is currently out of stock… Haiz... I shall go to the airport and see if they carry it… If yes, I guess I'll get it there... =D

New Trips 2009

However, there have been new plans! =)
In the span of 3 months, I've been to or will be going to:
Holidays at end of year… Where should I go?

I am glad to announce that I'm a happy 'grandmother'!

Look at the happy family:

Chefs Are Good Businessmen
Think you know how to be a successful businessman/businesswoman? Do these apply to you?
1.There is no secret recipe.
Share everything. Chefs share there recipes will everyone, write books, host TV shows. Being open don’t take away any business from them, rather increase their reputation and eventually grow business. Share everything you learned with your present and prospective clients. If only hoarding the ‘trade secret’ can save you, you don’t have a sustainable business to start with.
2.Create an audience, not just a client base.
Chefs create audience, a group of targeted people who are always listening and tuning into chef’s recommendations. In business? Imaging the ‘audience’ of Steve Job’s hour long commercials! Enough said!
3.Presentation matters
No matter how good the food taste like, no one will like a badly presented dish. Presentation matters, in every front of business. Be careful how you present yourself - starting from your name-cards, PowerPoint presentations to website. If you don’t have the required skill, don’t take a chance - hire a professional designer.
4.Repeat yourself
Chefs always repeats the ingredients and the process at least once. Follow that for every presentation or pitch you do. We might be center of owe own universe, but not for others. a quick repetition with highlighting key points is always a good habit.
5.Simplicity Rules
(Good) Chefs never suggest a complex cooking process or a hard to find ingredient. Simplicity is a key success factor. Edit away all the jargons from your sales pitch and business processes. Checkout Startcooking.com, great and simple recipes presented awesomely. In fact you can learn a lot about presentation from Startcooking.com.
6.Try new things
Not all the recipes are success stories. Keep experimenting and keep what works. There are many chefs, running shows and writing cookbooks for more than 10/15 years, still presenting always fresh and new things. Keep re-inventing, re-imagining.
7.Don’t waste peoples time
Good chefs are articulated and precise. They don’t waste time. Be precise and to the point for all your business communications - emails, web page writeup, presentations. People don’t have eternity for stories. Tell them how you are going to make their life better and shut up.

What Men Are Like
For all those men who say, Why buy a cow when you can get milk for free. Here's an update for you: Nowadays, 80% of women are against marriage, WHY? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.
Men are like....
1. Men are like Laxatives. They irritate the crap out of you.
2 Men are like. Bananas. The older they get, the less firm they are.
3. Men are like Weather. Nothing can be done to change them.
4. Men are like Blenders You need One, but you're not quite sure why.
5. Men are like Chocolate Bars ... Sweet, smooth, & they usually head right for your hips.
6. Men are like Commercials .. You can't believe a word they say.
7. Men are like Department Stores .... Their clothes are always 1/2 off!
8. Men are like ... Government Bonds .... They take soooooooo long to mature.
9. Men are like .. Mascara . They usually run at the first sign of emotion.
10. Men are like Popcorn .. They satisfy you, but only for a little while.
11. Men are like Snowstorms .. You never know when they're coming, how many inches you'll get or how long it will last.
12. Men are like Lava Lamps .. Fun to look at, but not very bright.
13. Men are like Parking Spots All the good ones are taken, the rest are handicapped.

Color Analysis
I just did a Color Analysis, and here's the result:
You are the sort of person that needs a peaceful environment. You seek release from stress and freedom from conflicts and disagreements, of which you seem to have had more than your fair share. But you are taking pains to control the situation by proceeding cautiously and you are right in doing so as you are a very sensitive person.
You seem to lack the energy of late to get up and go. Your objectives appear to be unattainable and no one seems to care. You feel lost, neglected and need some W.T.C. (Warm tender care).
Matters are not progressing as well as you would have hoped and you are having to make concessions - but you still believe that your goals are realistic it's just that people can't seem to see your point of view. You know what you want but you'll only accept suggestions under duress.
The stress and tension that you are experiencing at this time is perhaps due to your inability to achieve security and appreciation from those closest to you. This is resulting in considerable pressures. You find the situation as it stands most frustrating. You are the sort of person that would like to experience all and everything very intensely but unfortunately you are not receiving the warmth and understanding that you feel you are entitled to. Matters are not going too well. You seek a sympathetic ear but it is not forthcoming. This situation is extremely nerve-racking - and what is more humiliating is that no-one seems to care and you are powerless to do anything about it.
You are inclined to be too trusting and you feel that you need to be on your guard against the possibility that your endeavours and actions may be misunderstood. Too often you have been taken advantage of and you have been mentally abused. Now you are seeking a relationship which can provide peace of mind, where you can be yourself and not have the need to put on a false front.

Poker Face
I think it's cos of that fact that I broke my 'vow' to not play any more overnighter mahjong except during chalets, and that's why I lost to Kaisheng.
Hmmm… Anyway, caught this video while playing the last overnight MJ: Poker Face by Lady Gaga.
Found this video from Daily Motion, whose videos are of a much better quality than Youtube's! =) But, video after downloading can't be played on any of the players… Damn.

Mahjong
One of my loves would be mahjong…
However, I think I should swear off mahjong for the moment.
I have been losing $100+ these few mahjong sessions EACH, to my dear friend Kaisheng.
Damnit...

Exaggerating
Sometimes I really find some after so exaggerating.
Look at this Mary France Bodyline online promo.
If a short and round person can go into the shop and come out tall and slim, I sure won't mind being short and round so that I can get taller! =P

Movie Buff
You know that you have not been watching movies very frequently when:
I can safely say that I'm a movie junkie, just that it's DVD movies!
- The movie that you saw as 'Coming Soon' came and went without you realizing
- You do not know of any movies that the screening at the theatre at the moment
- Ong Bak 2
- Igor
- Meet Dave
- The Duchess
I can safely say that I'm a movie junkie, just that it's DVD movies!
