My Precious

"My preciousssssssss...." that's what Smeagol said to the one ring of power in his possession. Well, everbody has their own precious one, not the person but of the material. It is common that prople cling to their belonging and with all their heart and life guard them from being taken away or stolen. For me, I also have my own "Precious"...

1. My first and foremost is my 13" MacBook Pro which I purchased in August 2010. Its shy of another 4 months for its 1 year birthday. The thought of having a MacBook has been in my mind for the past couple of years when my old laptop (during my UTP days) is ceased from working maybe due to "old age", os simply because I refuse to repair it as many of the parts already obsolete! But an investment in a MacBook is the only one that guarantees your money back simply because it is sturdy, stable in terms of software and hardware, elegant and price-wise is affordable.
2. Second is my handphone/mobile phone/pocket PC or whatever people called it. As of today, I'm using HTC Desire HD equipped with Android 2.2.1 OS. Previously I've been changing my phone from HTC HD7 (Windows Mobile 7), and before that Samsung Galaxy S (Android 2.1). People had been asking me why do I need to change my phone regularly? Well, simply because I want to keep up with the technology the same reason why I'm using MacBook.
3. Third is my watch. Although you can basically keep track of the time using your phone, I still prefer to use the old method of time keeping by wearing a watch, and I mean mechanical watch not the digital one. Not to upset those who like G-Shock, but I despise digital watch as it lacks "life" and movement (the terms that they use for timepieces). My current watch is Fossil with hour/minute/second dials, day/month dial, moon phase dial and my favorite one is the visible escapement mechanism and the mainspring.
4. Fourth is my wallet, simply because your whole life depends on it. You store your identity and money inside your wallet and carries it everywhere you go. People has certain preference on wallet, but I prefer the usual clasp-strap wallet where it can secure your wallet firmly and making sure that I never opens unnecessarily when you take it out.

Well, I have four at the moment and perhaps I'll continue again in the next blog.

Goodbye FY 2010/2011... Welcome FY 2011...

Last week was a very hectic week with the year end financial closing plus the usual tank dipping activity on the early morning of 1 April 2011. I was at the office from 1.30am until the end of the official office hour, but I went back a bit late to settle couple of things around 6.00pm. Which means I was working like 16+ hours straight! Phewwww! I should be entitled for overtime plus in-lieu holiday.

The year closed in a very happy mood (so far that I noticed). Most of the performance were beyond expectations especially when several new records were achieved surpassing the previous historical achievements. Congrats to everybody for your contributions, hard work and perseverance! Nothing can be done without the collective works and ideas.

"When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die."

Eleanor Roosevelt

The year started also with a very happy mood personally for me as I was informed of a very delightful and suprise news from my boss. Well, it is still to early to say this but I'm hoping that it's gonna be a reality in a couple of months time. I guess all the hard work, patience and sacrifice paid off. So, fingers crossed!

Nothing much to say at the moment.
