funny cat on saturday morning

Managed to capture Ariel on video this morning. Seriously, i dunno why she had this reaction to this new piece of cloth that was taken out. Anyway, enjoy..

Amazing hands-free

Look at this, the simplicity of it makes it all so smart dun u think? Why do u need all the mumbo-jumbo technology of blue-tooth hands-free headsets when u can have a piece of elastic at a hundreds of a fraction of the cost... Yes it;s meant to be a stoopid product to have a laugh at.

I am sure u think it will look awfully stoopid to be seen wearing one of those attaching your phones to your head. But think, when the first few blue-tooth hands-free headsets came out, i am sure many of u will think it;s stoopid to be seen wearing something like that, walking around and looking like u are talking to yourselves.. But nowadays, it;s so common to see ppl doin that, and many ppl are numbed by how common they are that they no longer find it stoopid. So i guess, in life, u are always deemed stoopid when doin somehting different from the masses until it is commonly accepted.

2 watches

2 watched that i would really love to get my hands on.. The Bell and Ross one, i think pretty far fetched for me, gotta set me back by $10,000 at least, as if i got 10k floating around in my bank account... The MomoDesign one is more possible.. heh

Money and Job

was just chatting with a friend online and broach onto the subject of job satisfaction and money. Then i had this thought, job satisfaction and salary is like yin and yang.. If one gets more than the other, there is a tendency to balance itself someway or another. I believe this thought to be a good way to have a happy working life. Job satisfaction cant get u anywhere without money and money cant satisfy your basic food for brain.

Finally, my final Creative product launched (Aurvana DJ Headphones)

Yah 1 year after i left Creative, my final project with the company had finally launched this month.. It;s the Creative Aurvana DJ Headphones.

Here's the PR write-up of the product, "Creative has announced the launch of the hip and stylish Aurvana DJ headphones. Providing high-grade acoustic performance and ultra-comfort, these headphones have angled earcups that optimally direct sounds into the ear canal. The Circum-Aural closed-back design with comfortable leatherette ear-pads ensures excellent noise isolation. Powered by large acoustically tuned Neodymium drivers with Copper-Clad Aluminium Wire (CCAW) voice coils, the Aurvana DJ produces clear and accurate sound. With the luxurious leatherette earpads offering improved isolation from background noises, the single-sided coiled cable, swivel-earcups and rubberized grip makes this robust and elegant monitoring headphone with all the bells and whistles within its range. The single-sided coiled Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) cabling allows free movement while the vertical swivel-earcups makes quick listening to the outside world in a jiffy without removing the earphones."

Yah loads of mumbo-jumbo crap. I am just glad i can see this out finally, also thanks to the efforts of the rest of the designers who carried on this project after me.. Thank u all very much..:) The Headphone Nice or not????

what others wrote about jackson

well just back from the crematorium.. In no mood to talk much about it.. so i guess i;ll just add some comments from friends about jackson.....

"You probably didn't know this, we last met in March. Jackson came to my office to see how he can do community work... Jackson was a good man. After that discussion, I sent him off and stopped at his Swift. As I was contemplating to buy a car, we chatted about cars, motoring in Singapore... and because of my line of work- Motor accidents and how dangerous the roads can be. Sssheesh man!

Agree with you that 'after the initial seriousness and tears' we kinda look back and laugh about the past. After looking at your photos you brought last night, I went back to dig out mine too. (Not easy- especially after shifting house. I had a good nostalgia trip too.

I think the time of cremation (later in the afternoon) would be a difficult time for all of us to hold back our emotions but I guess it's okay if we mourn the passing of a good friend- Together. Let us also remember how he Lived. Yup, we'll really miss our friend..

RIP, Jackson. Till we meet again.Kelvin"

The lost of a good friend

It's sucky to start a new blog entry after a few days hiatus with news of the passing of a close dear friend of mine, jackson kong. yah we've been pals for around 11 years. Cant sleep on wednesday nite when friends informed me of what happened. It;s kinda hard to let the truth sink in, because it was unexpected. But who's death is expected anyway unless u are suffering from some terminal diseases. Jackson had a car accident while driving alone in his car. I shall not dwell in the details of it. When was the last time i saw him? Chinese new year at sitoh;s house. We still laughing happily away to Jackass 2 on dvd.

was at the wake last nite. I looked at him lying peacefully in the box. It;s almost surreal to see him inside. Friends were in tears... i cant bring myself to cry.. i told chris later, "i cant cry because everytime i think of jackson, only fun and laughter came to my mind." Yah his a funny guy, a big, hairy funny guy.. and i want to remember him that way.

i always think that funerals are one of the ways u can actually bring everyone together. The departure of someone close is the reunion of people that someone was close to. After the initial seriousness and tears, ppl gets more relaxed and we try to think of the funny things that we and jackson did before. And then there's the wish list of "what do u want from the things that jackson had left behind" Guess i'll settle for his big toy collection. heh, though he still owe me a ceramic kettle pottery which he made himself. yah, 2 years and he still did not pass me that. He had a nickname, Hairy potter, since his hairy and he likes pottery.. :) ok not funny.

like i said earlier, the reunion of friends.. Please next time if any of u attend funerals, leave the business and name-card exchanging to other appropriate time. If u are reading this blog, fuck u and your fucking coffee business. Like i fucking care. I dun even fucking drink coffee.. i, or in fact all of us, had never seen or hang out with that ex-classmates ever, and his like giving his name-cards to all of us, making small talk to ppl he knows and not knows, and ending the sentence, "keep in touch" after passing his name-card around.. Fuck u.. All of us just feel like having a piece of him, am sure jackson feels the same too if he knows.. Me and jackson, last time in school, would love to find any trouble with him when there;s a chance.. heh.. me, small bully, he, big bully. I am talking about physical size here.. They say we looked like monsters inc when standing together..

Well got lots of things in my mind, but cant put into words here.. so ya... ppl out there, drive carefully and change your "botak" tyres asap.
