Penang Test Expo Photos May 30, 2008

Well, brace your eyes. Yes, I look different now. Here you go… a few shots of myself in the Test Expo 2008 held at Traders hotel this month. I was one of the organizing committee for the event.

I’ve met some new friends and also a few big bosses. It was a very good learning platform for me as I didn’t know what was a Test Expo before I came into Motorola. It’s a yearly event where everyone from Motorola will sit in and listen to all the invited guests and selected speakers to talk about testing and latest technology available in the market. It was my first time participating + crew lead + first time organizing ! Horray!<COMBO>

The process of organizing the event was mentally tiring. From getting every piece of info digested into my common crew to making sure everyone’s satisfied did drain up my brain power. Nevertheless with the help of everyone, the process gave me a REAL sight of how a person’s working ethic, ability and skill of carrying out certain tasks a “crystal-clear-clean-eye-opening” evaluation. Some were very sweet, some were disappointing but overall, everyone did their part for the sake of the show. I was amazed that a simple event like this could really light the bulb of my conscience.

We had people from Agilent, National Instruments, Parasoft demonstrating some cool software and RF technologies. Great people like CM Tan, Michael, Boon, Goh Wah, Lutfi and of course…my sweet committee gangs and APCO team mates! Kudos!! Thanks for the wonderful appreciation meal Goh Wah~

All in all, it was a memorable experience. Though the process of the event was challenging, I must say… it was great. Thanks everyone!

Back after many months May 29, 2008

Hi all!

Ya, this blog is like a deserted island. I doubt that there’s even anyone who looks at it as I don’t even advertise nor shout about it. It’s the time of the year I’d do this.

Many things have happened. From working in Hell to switching positions to Motorola. Yes! I’m working there with batik uniforms daily. I’ve gained a few pounds and I look very much older now. No SK2 or even bird nests could revitalize me!

Well… let me see. I’ve met up with many different types of people. Funny ones, pathetic ones, good ones and bad ones. I took over my own apartment unit and am still progressing with the “BEING INDEPENDENT” thingy.

Now, I do dearly miss my friends in KL. The last person I’ve met up was George and we took them to the Northam Beach Hotel to enjoy their meals. We had a blast along with my new SNAKE friend from my current working place. Wow… people does change and ya.. he has lost weight and I’m glad to see him doing well.

It’s amazing how humans progress. Friends often suggests that I should go over to UK or US and lead a new life, refresh myself again. However, there are certain values which I’m just holding on in Penang. Sometimes, I wonder whether those values are worthy of keeping either.

I don’t have attachments other than my family. Chances are open and my family’s at ease to see me leave IF I wish to. I see friends getting married, people passing away, arguments, personalities turning evil and people prying into my personal life like bitches.

I’ve been ignoring Edwin’s nudges in UK’s invitation. I’ve been forgetting Vashaant’s  laughter. I’ve been hating Fong’s ignorance. I’ve been dodging bullets by Political personalities. I’ve been avoiding people, and yes, lets just let that be that. Ta Ta for now!
