Zoids!
My son has a new passion! It's no longer Transformers! When he was down in Singapore, he caught fancy of these huge robotic ancient creatures like dinosaurs and sabre tooth tigers!

Chuppa Chups!
Remember this lollipop?
I was watching Astro on the kids channel the other day and they had this advertisement with the tag line "It's nice to suck"
Err... a bit pornographic ain't it?

If u go to their website, they even have a reference to "Benefits of sucking".
Yeah yeah... i know.. it's my brain....

Earthquake
Today there was an earthquake in Taiwan knocking out internet connectivity from Asia to the US. So I was affected. But after 8 hours, we got some intermittent connectivity. That was when I saw this email from this "CIO of Asia".. he sent out an email to Hong Kong (which got knocked out) asking "hey guys, did u lose internet connectivity?"
I'm like DUH!
CIO of Asia!
Like as if they (HK) can receive his email! Even if they receive, fat chance of them responding!
Sometimes I wonder how these people get into such positions...

Singapore!
Over the past week, I was down in Singapore again for my annual pilgrimage. It's more for my wife and kid.. they love window shopping down in Singapore.
One thing I noticed is that walking around, somehow the women there "looked nicer". What does that mean? In general, they dress nicer, somehow their tits look fuller or more protruding (my wife even said that!) and they somehow dress showing more cleavage.
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to show for it.. (how la.. you think it's easy to whip up one's mobile and snap someone's boobs ah? You try lah!)
I do have some decent pics here...
Firstly, I always liked this X'mas tree in Takashimaya.
In Bugis Junction, there's this jewelrer who tried to up the ante by creating an X'mas tree entirely out of diamonds!
Lastly, the scenes in Orchard Road were packed with people!

A couple of NY pix
Didn't have much time to do anything touristy.. but here's a couple of shots I took from my last trip.
This was a nice X'mas tree up in a park in NY.
This picture says it all! What a name!

Katak
I'm back from a long US trip. Must be getting old.. i kept feeling sleepy at 4pm and waking up at 5am!
Anyway, it was a week long of conferences, meetings and meeting people.
Sometimes meeting the US folks are quite funny. These US folks are so "katak bawah tempurung" one..
Like for me, working in an International environment, we hit a lot of "regulatory" issues when we work on applications and the deployment of applications. For example, I'm working on the global rollout of a financial application and the company I work for has 2 regional data centres - one in Mexico, one in Singapore. Now the Singapore data centre has a DR site in Beijing. And who would anticipate that there are countries in Europe that disallow financial data being hosted in Beijing.
These are the real "globalisation" issues due to regulatory concerns.
And you know, we had a case study round table discussion on regulatory concerns... and the US fella kow peh lan and complains that his biggest regulatory concern is SOX (Sarbannes Oxley) because "SOX makes my developers document so much that it takes their time away from coding"
WTF!
Now you see what I mean by these US folks are so "narrow minded"?
