Ramblings…
…colleagues have gone to Taiwan and visited z hot springs where they took this pic…. I dun know how authentic it is….. but wihout the noisy flash clicking…. i guess you can get away with most anything… plus note the distance at which they had to take pic…tsk tsk tsk
This is prob. one of my favouritest pic of dadda n boo…
Lately ive been givin him grief abt how fast boo growing..she’s all skinny …. he’d be awfully mad and lecture me cos he tot i tot he was dieting her!!!!!!……theres never been a more loving and sensible dadda ….so one day i explained…”She grows so fast… I cant see her chubby anymore.”
And he said, “Well, im sorry.”
“Really?”
“Cos she’s growing so fast..”
…i tried to imagine boo…. still so young, and still one of the youngest of 30 kids at a birthday party..
Boo’s so big…she’ll trample the rest
Soon she will, says dadda. She’s still so little now (though much bigger than the little bundle of pink and orange 2 years ago!!!)…. hardly comprehending the magician’s show but just sitting, watching, experiencing, learning… all while chewing something.
Its inevitable…. growing up is the only way boo can go….. she cant be a baby forever and grow up big she should!!!………then i gots the pic above which reminded me of something else all at once… no matter how fast she may be changing and developing…..even if in another brief 18 years she will be leaving the home nest and pursuing a life of her own or after that when she falls in love, settles down and has little ones of her own (OMG!!!)………..to him she will always still be his big baby girl, and he will always be her dadda.

Yes, last nite was World Cup opening…. ive never been a fan but the girls were already to put on flag capes in support of their fave teams… i was stuck with Switzerland cos no one wanted that……… plus d girls seems to think i have penchant for incredibly notty Swiss people… peh.
So, off we marched to our fave local where the game was already on… Germany was already one goal up and then whilst we were getting our free beers and right up front to the television……the most amazing thing happened…. Costa Rica scored thru Wachope!!!
What am i saying….im not a fan… i shouldnt even be talking abt football… i totally hate the game……i can appreciate individual skills of football players…the dribbling, the tackling etc etc…..but the game of football is often so slow moving that you can hardly see the strategies that the teams are employing…. much less teamwork. Im not unfeeling to the near goals, goals, or misses or drama……its just that theres so little teamwork to appreciate.
Now baseball… i love baseball……its all slow at first but dun let it mislead u…..the players are all tense with anticipation and ready to move the split second that the bat connects wit the ball….. then its almost like poetry in motion…..do you think its easy to know where the competing team is going to cause the most damage?
It all boils down to team work…team communication….. the eyes connecting with ur teammates adn the flash of understanding that “the ball is headed your way”, “Field it”, “Dont give him your base!!!!!” and then, “THAT BASE IS EMPTY!!!” or bla bla bla….and all sorts of jargon that baseballers and fans use.

Compromising pics of a compromising situation….not just a foursome….but four devices with 3 diffferent platform operating systems.
1. Blackberry 8700g with Blackberry OS
2. Dell Axim X50v with Windows Pocket PC 2003 OS (not the latest but not the oldest), and modem-ed by me trusty Nokia 6680 with Symbian
3. The hot new kid in town - Nokia N80 with the latest new Symbian S60 OS with MiniMap browser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to say their differences are obvious, and you dont know how grateful i am to be able to get onto the GSM then IP layer without having my line unceremoniously dropped at intervals…… and more about that later.
For the past few months Id been blogging abt how busy the particular month is gonna be. Now more so than ever.
Ive been abt the only person in office for the past few days already cos the others have gone on media junkets out of Malaysia - China, Taiwan, Germany….. picking up picking up.. had some peace and quiet and more space to get some things sorted and done…..and Im glad and thankful…. this is where i want to be. There’s only so much more input and info I can take and process (still single core and non-multi-threaded)….that if i dont somehow find an outlet….i will literally explode.
Four out of KL events (six actually) will be taking place till about late July………. I cant begin to imagine where to start…though it was this very thought that kept me out of bed and at the puter for about five hours.
If in the first place, one has never opened themselves up to learning or being humble enough to see/know teh difference and take the opportunity to…… they are still as wet behind the ears as they ever were. I am not the one suffering for it…but Im sad/frustrated about it - six years down the drain to transform into *this*?
Direction of any endeavour is always important and its getting from bad to worse - we’re taking the easy route, instead of the one we must; thats bad steering for you.
The awards at www.interactiveawards.com will be having a Malaysia launch this Thursday to honour the best in the industry. I think it would be a good event to take a look at.
