TC Life Notes - Pee Stop...

Last year, I participated in a competition, a badminton tournament that was organized by a company named Trans Niaga. I was really excited, got to know some friends, and felt proud of. I represented my friend's company, KDDI, for the game and not disappointed them, we've got champion! :)

This was the banner, when I entered into the hall, I saw it, the feeling was really excited. I walked around the area, looked at the players. Some of them were good players, they came from different places. And here are my team members, me in red, and I was told to have 2 set for each stage, 1 men's double and 1 more mix double. Fomr the starting up till the final stage.

Upper row, 1st from left is our supporter, he is 1 of the marketing guy for KDDI, he's not playing but giving us spiritual support. 2nd is the guy who mix with me for men's double, then the Japanese boss and wife, Miss Goh, a staff for KDDI, then me, the imported player... :)

Lower row from left is AiLing, she is imported player for KDDI, also is my ex-colleague for ExcelForce, she mix with me for mix double, then her hubby Nicholas, a joker for KDDI, and the rest are staffs + imported players for KDDI.

Too bad, I've forgot their name, :) I'm sorry for that...

This is what we deserved... :) And we've got vouchers from Westin Hotel, to have delicious meals in the restaurant, expiry date before May 2007.

Here's a group picture.

At last we made it! Sunday 06th May 2007, we had DimSum brunch at Westin Hotel located in Kuala Lumpur. We had been trying hard to plan for a meal at Westin Hotel many times, by fully utilizing the vouchers that we had got from the tournament, and they are expired sooner! We have the Japanese boss and his wife, their 2 daughters, AiLing and her hubby, Nicholas, Miss Goh and Me.

We booked at EEST, the chinese restaurant in Westin Hotel serves Asian cuisine. This is the main entrance at first floor.

Inside the restaurant, it is nice decorated, and they are busy preparing the foods, DimSum. We are placed at waiting seats, while they are arranging the tables for 8 of us.

This is a pretty funny thing and there is nothing to do with it, just to display. :)

Not long later, we are seated. We are trying to understand, what are the foods like, and how are we going to have them. It sounds a little bit complicated but somehow we just order ALL the foods under Signature, From The Steamer, From The Ovens and Works, plus some in the following pages, hahaa... These foods are going to drive us crazy! Haha...

This is the first dish, just to keep our mouth busy with something light first, while waiting for our foods. Hahaa... Good service huh? So that we don't have chance to complain... Kekee...

These are the Beef Ball, Fried Guey-Kak and CheeCheong Fun! I do not take some pictures with the foods here because busy eating!!

On my left, they are AiLing, Nicholas and the Japanese boss. He is a handsome and silly man, as claimed from his wife.

Here we are, the wife of the Japanese boss, Miss Goh and me.

She is Lunar, clown is making some balloons for the kids.

Lunar and Solar (Sun and Moon), the 2 kids. Squid in pungent garlic sauce is served on the table, it is delicious!!

Well well... This DimDum brunch is at RM58++ per adult, RM26++ per kid, exclusive of fruit juices. Totally we have to prepare about RM400 for it. Sum up the 6 vouchers = RM480, think that we can escape by not paying a cent for the meal, but we still have to pay RM75 for the stupid taxes + additional fruit juices. Anyway we enjoy our time there, eating and talking nonsense for 3 hours... :)

2 weeks ago, I received an email from my boss, telling me that he had ordered a LCD monitor for me. I was surprised! As I was not aware of having a LCD monitor on my desk. Because... it's going to have cables running around at my work place, and again... there is no privacy at all, by having a huge screen showing what I am doing to my dear colleagues! Haha... Kinda funny.

Last week, I received this monster:

It's really HUGE!!

 

This is a really huge monitor, and colleagues envy me, but if they would like to have it, they may go ahead to take it from me, because I don't really need it! Somehow I'm used with my current laptop screen. First of all, I have to set it up and arrange it on my table. Secondly, this is really important! Try to adjust the highest resolution as possible! Kekee... The maximum I can do is only 1680x1050. Damn... Everything still looks huge on my screen! Look at this picture, showing that I'm blogging...

I'm composing this

Well done.

 

Well, I may say, it's good for gaming, and it's good for software development. Nowadays, most of the powerful IDE (Integrated Development Environment) like Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, Eclipse and etc... They are having a lot of small detachable screens, like debug, properties, watch, class view, toolbox and other explorers. In order to have a clear view of the coding, we will enlarge the coding pane as big as possible, set up fonts size in 8 too, so that we can understand what is it going on... :)

Afterall, this is not pretty good enough and I don't wish to see someone comes over and ask me "Choong! What are you doing?" Silly.... :s
