It's easier to get smart capable folks than to build up a great team...

It just struck me... That our EE Human Pig family has great team dynamics... And it's not easy getting to that stage. It means that we know one another very well, we care for each other, we have been through the "I do not like you stage" fraught with disagreements and arguments, before we hit the "Yeah man! Let's tackle this problem together man!" stage. You know... when you see Robert and SBG helping Master Khoo tackle issues without boss setting up a task force. Or Mr Osim helping the idiot Beng debug ESD issues or doing soldering. This is what I call team work.

Yes, sure... get in new smart big brained ppl to replace those who leave... there are plenty of ppl out there... really... But see what a fantastic team you have on hand... and appreciate them... and see the wonders they can do for you. :)

Ghost Rider and Shopping with the EEs

It's been a good day :). Left office for lunch with the entire team and then went out with some of the guys to watch the Ghost Riders. After the show, SBG expressed over interest at the Latino babe in the movie and pondered over why they use Nicholas Cage as the Ghost Rider instead of the younger guy who appeared as the young Ghost Rider. Mr Osim said it's cos' Nicholas Cage is the only guy who can accept having his face replaced by a flaming skull for most of the movie... which makes sense. Anyway, thank goodness that he did not become Superman.... And Robertus and Macho keep giggling throughout the movie... siao... -_-'''.

After that we had a cuppa of kopi at kopibean while Beng and Mr Osim making fun of Darren's vampirish face... again... and hypothesize over how Darren's sucker fish disappeared into thin air after he went back melbourne for 2 wks... Here's the theory - Starving Angelfish/2 goldfishes/Sucker Fish -> Violent angelfish attacked suckerfish cos' its hungry -> Goldfishes cleaned up the carcass -> Viola! No more sucker fish. My bro had another theory though... after he saw my msn nick comment, he said to check for 2 angelfishes cos' maybe the suckerfish was so starved of food that it slimmed down and became an angelfish... I must give him some credit for creativity...

Then came the shopping part... never went shopping with a bunch of guys before... Quite interesting... heard interesting comments about big butts and thighs and wat nots which I never expected to come out from guys' mouths... Hiak Hiak Hiak.... :)

Ah well, Happy CNY to all my frens and our wacky bunch of Human Pigs and ex Human Pigs... It has been a worthwhile 3 years... too bad we will disband soon. Wohoo! And we are meeting CJ for lunch next week! HAPPY CNY! Gong XI Gong XI Gong XI ni AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

How much wood can a woodchuck chop if a woodchuck can chop wood?

I'm burnt out... from work... and bored... from doing the same stuff over and over again. Been sending resumes out these few weeks but the replies have not been good. Ah well... Will try to send more. CJ says I've to send at least 3 every week, which is what I intend to do. :). I'm hoping Robertus will become a manager so that he can hire me (I've already forced him to make a pact to hire me and hook little finger liao. He can't escape. Bwahahahahaha!).

Boss gave me one day off after I tell him I'm exhausted... but giving off isn't going to solve the problem. People are discontented and planning to leave. I wonder if the ppl up there see that. All these great young people will their experience and knowledge are going to pack their bags and go and I think them-with-their-heads-up-in-the-clouds still haven't got a clue what to do. I wonder if I'll be like the people-up-there next time? Everyday waxing lyrical about how AMAZING and GREAT the company's performance is... while the people on the ground are secretly shouting BULLSHIT throughout their presentation. Us on the ground who OTed, skipped lunch, carrying oscilloscopes everywhere, smelling in vaporised flux and solder - gets only poor health and EMC radiation. The great Wayang... everything is for show... ah well... what to do... I'll now take a break and gambate since now somebody is accompanying me to jia you as well! :).

Let's see who will graduate next... maybe it will be me :). Hehehehe.
