cross talk

cross talk . . cross line .. what is the difference?
X TALK as they like to use it in the discussion over here. For me , some of the discussion seems to be more of cross line . . ha ha ha

water pipe leaking again today ... badly. well it was not really the pipe was leaking. Our watertank stopper/ floating mechanism didnt work, sending water gushing thru the escape valve.
Our mysterious leaks gets worse and the whole area next to the stairs were flooded

rest of the year

The news of the day,Big A is cutting the salary by 10% across the board for exempt staff and 5% for non-exempt staff. The cut is expected to last for 1 whole year. I believe this is just the beginning of theb string of bad news that wi continue to fil the lines in the coming months

Impact to us ... not that clear at the moment, we are still expecting some increment for this year
Is this a realistic expectation, you might ask.. blank blank

immigration made my day

At lunch I went to immigration office today to do two things
a) get a new passport for my elder daughter
b) update the photo for my younger daughter passport

When I got to the counter issuing the "ticket", the 1st thing the officer noted was .. IC need to be photocopied into full size A4 paper .. duh .. my additional effort to make the IC in 2 sided paper and cutting it out to smaller pieces is truly a waste.
When I finally got to the application window, the lady officer made a comment that my younger daughter photo is not following regulation. She is wearing a blue shirt while the background is also blue. Need to get a contrasting color .. another duh

third duh ... the lady at the counter asked .. where are the kids .. I said they are at home spending quality time with the mom :) .. then she said .. no kids no processing ....

I had it enough .. I drove back to the office , stopping by at the POSTO nasi ayam for my lunch

moderating change

Sometimes if we make too many changes .. it will not be welcomed.

Btw .. my wife cooked nasi tomato today .. horey horey .. so I went home for lunch. Tomorrow is going to be a challenging day as I need to start on a new project .. a project that nobody really wants to do

catalyst of change

It is hard to be the catalyst of chenge when the memory stick is missing the file that matters
nobody like to change . it is human nature
company that does not change will be famous and dissapear , just like dinasour
Some example is like DEC Computer
Mini computer is value proposition as compared to mainframe
They are successful including a DEC Net

They do not see workstation by Sun

We need to learn to change in order to survive
