What a busy weekend

April 27, 2009

The weekend was a busy weekend indeed for me with plenty of activities all lined up and packed. It started with attending a talk at HELP University College on “How to be An Orange”. Basically it was mainly targetted on innovation and how to be innovative and the title “How to be an Orange” is meant to explain that in this world where people are comparing apples against apples, how do you be an orange and stand out.

Once that was done, I had to run errands about the SS2 area which includes sending out a document package via DHL to the states. The funny thing was that when I arrived at the DHL store, it was closed! Apparently the person in charge was out for lunch which left me fuming for about 10 minutes. Worse of all, she didn’t even say sorry for being away when she returned and she gave us this “one kind” look. Anyway I sent my documents, paid and left. Nuff sed.

After running errands, I had a meeting at Jaya33 to discuss some matters with Ps. Mike and the meeting took longer than expected so we missed our intended church session then. By the time I got home, I was busy post processing photos till late at night.

Sunday was mainly filled with me doing more work at home up until at night and after that I went for a meeting with @munz to talk about the upcoming event called, Shootfest (ask me what it is). Both Alex and Grace were ever so gracious of hosting the bunch of us!

We even had Ian who attended the meeting virtually via Skype. You can see his face on the wall behind, we projected him! Of course we had a group photo taken but I wasn’t allowed to use my iPhone to capture it. Probably because I haven’t reached the level of how Chase Jarvis actually captures amazing photos with his iPhone!

If you are wondering what Shootfest is all about, don’t worry, more to come!

Random Thoughts

April 23, 2009

Once in a while I get some random thoughts that I might blog about it or else this would be more of a post where I just give a little update of whats been happening.

I recently signed up to run 10km at the upcoming KL Marathon 2009 which is happening on the 28th of June. This is line with my company’s competition where the 5 teams will be competing to see how many kilometers in total each team can cover. I shall contribute 10km to my team. Training started on Tuesday with me running my old route here in Cyberjaya to cover 6km. Plan is to run 6km today and two to three times next week. After that I will slowly increase the distance to 9km and finally to 12km.

Another note that I will be giving a workshop/talk on “Photography” at my company on the 6th of June. This talk and workshop will basically cover the basics of photography and I really can’t wait to start working on my slides for them. I plan to use Keynote to present the material so it will be a challenge do me. I guess I can probably work on the slides during my 24 hour flight (+transits) when I head over to Chicago in May. At the same time, I just bought the Keynote Remote application to control my Keynote slides for my iPhone.

Last but not least, I will be attending a talk this Saturday at HELP University College on “How to Become an Orange”. Check this link out for more information.

Amusing Monday

Pretty amusing monday ain’t it?

A quirky Wednesday

April 16, 2009

I had a very interesting day yesterday, so interesting that I definitely needed to just release it here on my blog. The day started normal, after being away for two days to attend training, I had to attend to a pile of emails as well as follow up on my to-do list which I accidentally dated some actions to be done on Monday.

Gym was planned in the evening but it was also the same night where my colleagues would play badminton. So on an impulse, I went and joined them after work. Didn’t have my proper badminton shoes so I had to wear my running shoes and it was awful. It was so loose that my toes kept hitting the front and it caused me to have swollen toes at the moment. During the game, it got a little heated (boys being boys and our huge egos), until I decided to dive to save a shot only to have to miss the shuttle and slam right into the pole while tangling up in the mess. This ended me with having bruises to my ankle, thigh and my arm. Ouch. Lesson learnt, wear proper badminton shoes!

Anyway, I still needed to keep my gym appointment and off I went to the gym to meet up with the guys. Did some weights and Boon’s version of the ball of doom which is a very ab crunching exercise. Ok, no need to know what I do at the gym, you really don’t want to hear what a fat overweight guy does there :P

After a good aching session, we all headed back only for me to find out that I got the locker combination wrong. Seems that if you have those locks with a combination, make sure they are locked when it is kept in your bag, else it might get resetted. So that was what happened to me and I had to get one of the staff to help me cut the lock with a huge ass lock cutter. Believe me, it was that huge!

2nd lessons learnt, never leave a combination lock unlocked in your bag.

It was a real quirky day for me. By the way, I sort of liked Fast & Furious 4.
