Someone just sent you a bug.... Thanks, Benson for your detailed explanation yet again, complete with instructions and pdf link. But to blog at 2.30am in the morning after golf and still doing chart, man, you are really crazy.

Hey buddy...

Yo man, thanks for inviting me to the blog.
It is always a little sad to have someone leaving the family. On the contrary, I am really happy for you with the new job starting this Friday, and sure you'll be looking forward to the new challenges ahead!
Hmm...who's next to join THE club? :)

You're right about the SCV Digital Box...was confused with the trial HD box I had last year.
The 'Digital box' only has RCA plugs for composite video and stereo audio.
The 'HD box' does have composite as well as component video, and of course HDMI & digital audio.
You can find more information on the 2 links below:

Your Sony LCD TV is not put to waste yet, well...at least you can start enjoying the only 'free HD contents' now on a new gaming console, or maybe if you're considering to buy a TV recorder that has component & HDMI.

Quite bored at this hour, looking at the charts making me dozing off...think I shall call it a day soon...catch up with you then.

Someone stole my SAF boots

WTH, some person stole my SAF boots which cost 100+ of SAF dollars, and now I am without any boots. Hopefully I do not have to use them, and may the feet rot of whoever stole my new boots!

Anyway, I think my brudder here is misreading what baby joyce has written. I simply do not see or feel anything negative from her little passage..senstive new age guy. Or I am too insensitive?

It is true we do not a need an outing to meet up and chat and catch up, but if we do not take steps to create that opportunity, that catching up will never happen. Unless keep in touch via sametime, msn or blog. I think this blog is not a bad idea, when I have more photos and information to share.

Also, to Ben Ben, the starhub digital setup box does not have the HD component cable. I looked at the back of the box and it just has the usual RGB cable inlets. So my new Sony LCD tv is another white elephant. There are no HD content which is free! Can Starhub and Mediacorp come to an understanding and work for the benefit of the consumers?! And the relevant media authority is seemingly working hard to roll out HD content, so I really hope HD content will be readily available by 2020. Fingers crossed.

Addin on food and pics and other things

Just spoken to another jaded Zane. I have added him to add too, so I am expecting some nice poems from him too. That is a really good piece of literary work by joyce, hehe. thanks! Hey people, we are compiling interesting food places too for this blog. So take out your camera phone and snap your next interesting meal and put it up. Or interesting places to share. I want to know what is going in your lives now!

What melodrama...

My dearest buddies (no longer at IBM),

If I may just say, it always helps to write in prose
No emoticons that'd belittle our intelligence
No ... ... to indicate a sudden loss of refined speech

Visuals always help so do be liberal with incriminating evidence of our indulgences
Not that we need to go out and party on Friday, in order to compile a library
But let us be forward-looking and build new memories
Even as we continue to laugh at the old *Hi, I'm Roger*

I'm on, as soon as Sales Rally is over,
which of the 2 temporarily unemployed brothers will gather the troops?

Dedicated to my best buddy in IBM

As you flip to a new chapter, I linger at the old,

Realising a sense of loss, where no more;
a smile at Tanah Merah
a breakfast buddy to start the engine running
a heart I can pour out to on the rooftop

Savouring the moments of humour;
Roger Lim, the security watchdog
chilli & ketchup fattening my wallet
"hubby", "darling" & "spiderpig" ringing my cell

'tis a considerable sense of loss...

Welcome to Blogging!

haha bro, this is really a surprise and i never thought YOU would blog...but hey yeah it is a good idea bro...so good luck and update it regularly yeah...also thanks for adding me as an admin and hopefully i can contribute some sense to YOUR blog..hehe...
okie now let us get down to plan a launch party for your blog, how about this friday...and of course celebrating your new job...yeah basically just party whatever the reason maybe...

A new chapter begins

ok, i do not know who will read this, yet, but I think I can start blogging some thoughts first. Today marks the beginning of a new chapter - Leaving a company of 3.8 yrs is not easy, especially when I have so many fond memories and friends I leave behind. But as luck would have it, most of my good friends have left the company, and the emotional baggage is not as strong as it might have been. This is my first blog anyway, so let me try it on Atul and Joyce....haha...give me comments man, on what to write! My plan is to blog when I am overseas to keep in touch, but meantime, let me chop this username first!
