Oscillating Trend

Years back, when Nokia was still reigning the mobile phone world, I thought eventually the phone will become smaller and lighter. When handphone was first invented, its size had shrank by lot. However, the latest release of some phone like Galaxy S2 had changed that perception, now Samsung is even going to announce S2 LTE that boast with its 4.5" screen.

By the way, I have been awaiting for the S2 availability for Maxis plan for month, but none of the Maxis center had stocks at the moment. If anyone know it this a market strategy, please leave your comments here.

Melaka foods

Was traveled to Melaka during the weekend, tried a few famous local foods, like Durian Cendol at Donker street, Seafood at Portugese Settlement and Satay Celup. Amazingly none tasted good to my family. Although the crowd are ample at the restaurant, but truly it can't win over our taste buds. One may argue food taste is a subjective matter, but considering there are 3 families of us, it's really an unfavorable contributors to the statistic.

My personal view is that foods like Durian Cendol and Satay Celup is about fusing two different dishes into a new genre. It creates some hype and usually stir people's interest. It really no matter if it's a perfect match, people are immediately attracted by the hype. And a long queue in front of the shop just create a longer queue, especially in a society whereby "sheep following the crowd" mentality is common.

Like in our work, your boss can give you whatever position or title, but the respect from others can only be earned and not given.

Effective communication

To communicate effectively is to add humor in your conversation intermittently. What's humor? it's about looking serious thing at the other side, the light part.

This require quick, witty thinking. Need to talk more, practice more. Like my friend said, what else can you lose further, you can't be worse than sitting down there by not making a move.

Looks lousy and clumsy in front everybody on the stage, but even in my age, i still have lots to learn.

Think through before you say it

Look at the how the stock price plunge, that reassert my conviction that we shall think the consequence before we says something. It shall be a purpose why we say it, isn't it? What the point you announce something that you not yet even decide. There must be some rationale behind it. To trash your own stock price to me will be the last purpose you want to achieve.

IBM must be laughing all the way, sitting back and watch you how to perform the stunt of self-destruct.
