Well what a pity this blog is dead for sometime.
Anyhoo, 2007 has been a blast for me. Glad all the things happened did happened this year...except for one minor thing. But acceptance is part of life. And i accept it with much honour and gratitude for what was left behind was a legacy and wonderful touch to the heart.
Not all resolutions met...for once haven't lose weight to expectations...haha. Well 2008 will be another blast on that for sure. One thing certain tho, long-awaited dream come true, well not exactly working in pixar or dreamworks, but turned CG artist after dreaming of it for 7 years. Remembered telling Paul long long time ago while running around the nyp track on a usual after school run, to have animation as a career. And i'm glad i held that promise to myself.
Guess luck and destiny played an important role in that as well. And the journey getting there was tough and clueless, but glad i was part of the ANL family, cos this was where i met people who really make my decisions and gusto happened. Not to mentioned, friendship and family'ness built and treasured.
One thing Astley left a meaningful lesson for me, is that wherever you are, no matter if you feel stuck, sucky, contented, or blessed, sometimes just dun see all that is happening on the surface, look around and see what u have. Even in the cloudiest of days, there's a warm breeze somewhere. All those nights spent doing things in the morning hour in the office and eating pizza getting fat (tho, in only affected me and not him, Lol), never fail to complain about things, yet we always laugh at somethings. And we kept doing it for time and time again cos it felt good. Guess the lesson was, no matter where you are or what you do, always look on the bright side and treasure that. Cos only when we look up, there's always hope for a better day.
Well my wish for 2008, is to build on what i have. Increase maximum competency in my career and expand job capability and skills. Spend more normal hours at work, increase fun time with family and friends, go thailand roadtrip...haha...ok ok this is secondary. Lose weight...this applies to Ashlynn as well, Lol. Dun miss any cool concerts. Spend less on bike. A much peaceful world, and more blissful enchanted life for all my friends.
Cheers to 2008`

The gift
I guess this blog really has its meaning....who would have known. One day he left us, but not before he gave us a gift. A gift where we can write our thoughts and always be connected no matter where we are yesterday, today, or tomorrow. Guess in a way it says...strangers don't leave one another once they are called friends. Thanks Astley! :)

A Trip without you
Few days ago, we went for a trip in a very big group.I believed none of us will wish to go. A trip to Ipoh, your hometown, and it was last trip to send you off. All awhile, you had been organizing a trip for us. Unfortunately, due to our busy schedule, we can’t have a chance to go together. I wish it was a happy trip with you acting as a clown in the long journey bus.
On the way down to Ipoh, I was feeling very down and tired. Had been crying the pervious night, but I couldn’t slept. The journey seems to be very long that night. The jokes we used to share, the Fion’s name symphonic we used to perform, the brotherly hug when I was down, the hell week we had been going through, kept appearing in my mind while I was way down to your wake. I wish I could tell you that you are a great manager, friend, and brother to me. I wish I could tease you once again on the Old Man and his Parker Pen and your long winded explanation and my Jelly drink. I think I could only wish.
Although it hard to adapt your absence; I told myself I had to bury my grief and move on while I was on my way back to Singapore. I hope you will cope well of being an angel watching over us.

Tell me this was jus a dream. August 15, 3:15
August 15,
the day started out pretty ok. till i went to the balcony to have
a cigarette. Just then, a friend SMSed me and at that point, i saw
the time, it was 3:15.
When someone broke that tragic news to me, i couldn't say a word.
Its hard to swallow the fact that the person who i just saw the day
before, is now gone.
Usually, every time i walked past the sales room, Astley's place would always
be empty, cos he'd be out in schools. But I had always known that
most of the times, he'd be back in the office by 6+ and both of us would
be at the balcony to enjoy the last stick of the day before i head home.
Now, when I walked past that room, i still see his empty place. But things
are different now. He's never coming back. We never had that last stick
on that day.
Old people and sick people, when they passed, even though its painful,
you have more or less psyched yourself for the worst.
But how was i supposed to be psyched for this?
I couldn't forget that day and I wouldn't forget the memories
that we had. Astley, thank you for the treats, all the rides home
and finally, thank you for giving me the chance to get to know you.
It's been an honour.
Only time could heal this pain that all of us are feeling.
Tell me this was just a dream, August 15, 3:15.
May you rest in peace, my brother.

My first entry - To Astley
Never expected my very first post in this AnL blog would be this. Someone told me once that why great people leave the world too soon and I had passed the message on to some of the member -
it's because God want them back as angel.
I am not a particular religious person, but this would be a nice thought. None of us will fail to have this person in our heart forever.
My tribute to him.

Do it if you feel it's right...
"A warrior of light, once he has done his duty and transformed his intention into gesture, need fear nothing else: he has done what he should have done. He did not allow himself to be paralysed by fear. Even if the arrow failed to hit the target, he will have another opportunity, because he did not give in to cowardice."

Re: Picasso - Part 01
When I was young, had been inspired by most of the “Artistic Painter” like…
Leonardo da Vinci (1452 ~ 1519)
Pablo Picasso (1881 ~ 1973)
Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853 ~1890 )
Gustav Klimt (1862 ~ 1918)
Willem de Kooning (1904 ~ 1997)
During that time, I just wonder why all those Master had so demiurgic mind set to draw and paint with their art work.
My favorite Master Artist Painter is Pablo Picasso (1881 ~ 1973), who is one of the most recognized artist in 20th century art.
In the age of 9, Picasso has train by his father José Ruiz y Blasco (1838-1913) who also was a Spanish painter and art teacher. Picasso also attended carpenter schools throughout his childhood but he never finished his college-level course of study at the Academy of Arts (Academia de San Fernando) in Madrid.
The most funny part for this Master Artist is… His full name is Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Clito Ruiz y Picasso.
Blue Period (1901–1904)
Rose Period (1905–1907)
African-influenced Period (1908–1909)
Analytic Cubism (1909–1912)
Synthetic Cubism (1912–1919).
Here is his some of the artwork...
The Rose Period signifies the time when the style of Pablo Picasso's painting used cheerful orange and pink colours in contrast to the cool, sombre tones of the previous Blue Period. It lasted from 1905 to 1907. He was happy in his relationship with Fernande Olivier whom he had met in 1904 and this has been suggested as one of the possible reasons he changed his style of painting.
Lately, I was using Picasso unique painting style to teach all my primary school students in their Digital Art courses in infocomm club multimedia training.
Their just using Adobe Photoshop build in plug in (filters) like Liquify, Artistic Cutout, Fresco, Palette Knife, Dry Brush can do the job very well.
Some how, all my kids love to play the Liquify effects when they learn the photoshop skill set. I am also creating small project work for them like create “Picasso-look-a-like” master artwork. I am name the project work as “Picasso Jr.”

Les_Demoiselles_d'Avignon(Year 1907)

Garçon à la pipe (Year 1905)
Rose Period (1905–1907)
This is Picasso highest selling painting. Calling prices tag at USD$111.2 millions.
Picasso's highest selling painting, Garçon à la pipe (Boy with a pipe) was painted during this Rose Period.The Rose Period signifies the time when the style of Pablo Picasso's painting used cheerful orange and pink colours in contrast to the cool, sombre tones of the previous Blue Period.

RE: "Like the water" - lame version
Wahaha....uhmm, this lame story i can recall...tho, my grandma didn't warn me when i was younger! While i must say...the kacang taste them great while waiting for the atomic bomb to clear...right Felix the Kucing? Lol.
I guess what they say is true...silent killer does kills!
To all who might care, if your friends ever hit-and-run...err, or shall we say fart-and-run... make sure you equip yourself with a packet of kacang and share it with a friend who wears a cap that doesn't fit his darn bloody head.
Lame and Lamer!

"Like the water" - lame version
I was brought up by some one who feed me a lots!
Every time when I want to fart …. I heard a voice say…
“Angin di Udara, semua mampus!”
It means, when you want to fart after eating pizza, you must farted at outside the room. Do not farted inside the room and say “No more smell lah… Brother!”
We are lamer !
"Angin di Udara, semua mampus!” = “Smell in the air, all die!”

It means, when you cut through water...it can never break. Just like your family however u distant them, they shall always be your family.
We are family.

Re: We are Brother !
Hum...
Quite long time never drop by and write “nonsense” at life@ANL!!
Not saying I am busy or something. Is I have no idea or any conception what to write…
My mind just blank…
Anyway, Feb almost ends…
Wish to say something and express some “nonsense” feeling over…
First, to my best brother, Mr. M (a.k.a Hippo, Mat don don, Himalayas Mountain and blah blah blah…)
Really enjoy all the moment work with you in ANL when you transfer back from school.
Back to back sitting together work all night long…
Traveling from one school to another…
Rushing all the “nonsense” project…
Never compromise with “last minute” shit assignment…
And…
Last two people who walk out from the office almost in every night.
This is all the moment we been work together for the pass whole year!!
I wish to thank you…
Thank you very much you teach me a lot. (Especially with those stupid sessions in VJC IP1 ICC web training!!) LoL
Thank you very much for all your support and guidance when we work together… (Especially all my stupid “English” and grammar problem.) LoL
I appreciate all the respect that you give and shown me when we fight for each other for everyday in ANL.
In PET team, you and me just like band of brothers… we go through all the hardship from one another to build up the PET team. Step by step, one step at the time.
Without you, PET team will never have a great success in logistic and planning for the operations in 2006.
You are one of the “Pioneers” in PET team. I really appreciate I have you to work in my team!!
I still remember we have a long chat when we sitting down near Sim Lim Sq, after the super heavy BK dinner. You do ask me before for opinion for you to have another career path. I was never expecting you just tender you resignation so soon. Way before we can spend more time together until end of the year.
For you, I just wish you all the best for your upcoming career path. Enjoy all the moment when you work with your passion.
Never the less, just enjoy and have “fun” all the way!!
Last, please don’t forget, you still have your “Uncle Wong” support you at your back.
I always consider you still part of the team. Part of the “Band of Brother”!! :-)
Quite long time never drop by and write “nonsense” at life@ANL!!
Not saying I am busy or something. Is I have no idea or any conception what to write…
My mind just blank…
Anyway, Feb almost ends…
Wish to say something and express some “nonsense” feeling over…
First, to my best brother, Mr. M (a.k.a Hippo, Mat don don, Himalayas Mountain and blah blah blah…)
Really enjoy all the moment work with you in ANL when you transfer back from school.
Back to back sitting together work all night long…
Traveling from one school to another…
Rushing all the “nonsense” project…
Never compromise with “last minute” shit assignment…
And…
Last two people who walk out from the office almost in every night.
This is all the moment we been work together for the pass whole year!!
I wish to thank you…
Thank you very much you teach me a lot. (Especially with those stupid sessions in VJC IP1 ICC web training!!) LoL
Thank you very much for all your support and guidance when we work together… (Especially all my stupid “English” and grammar problem.) LoL
I appreciate all the respect that you give and shown me when we fight for each other for everyday in ANL.

Brothers & Sisters...
Yup, would be nice if local companies practice such talent retention. Anyway, it's been out of this world having to spend two years plus of my life with such crazy people i call family each and every day and for that i can't say how grateful i am.
It's moment like when you are stuck outside your own office room because someone farted and stink the entire room....moments like this you will reflect back and remember the faces of the people you shared the laughter with waiting outside for the tornado to pass. *sigh* wonderful`
By the way, thanks to Astley for spraying the insectiside and spilling clorox on the carpet in order to fumigate the situation. Haha. Thanks Felix for accompanying me in finishing the kacangz while waiting for Astley to put out the fire. Err..or maybe smell?! Lol.
Anyway, this coming thursday is movie night again. Please come anyone who has nothing better to do. Oh My God...that's us!!! wahaha.
This Tuesday no soccer tho...cos eve of V day. I think can take a break on that day. Shall continue the street soccer after CNY.
For those who haven't heard the sotong and spiderman story...please get the full coverage from brother boon.
Enjoy the weekend, see u guys next week`

S'pore firm's lessons in talent retention
It's actually quite sadding to hear such events happening in office.
What's more, felt so distant when more and more folks and friends left ANL to seek better and greener pastures.
Why can't ANL learn to retent it's good talents?
Read On:
S'pore firm's lessons in talent retention
Jasmine Yin and Gracia Chiang
jasmine@mediacorp.com.sg
It does not set targets for its staff.
.
Neither does it like shopping around much for talent, preferring instead to hire only for junior positions and to move its existing staff — half of whom have less than three years of experience — to take on more senior positions within the organisation.
.
This is no mean feat, given that Singapore-based firm Olam International, which transacts multi-billion-dollar deals in agricultural raw materials, has 300 managers spread across 52 countries.
.
"We don't have a target-setting exercise. We'll give you whatever you ask for in terms of resources. What we expect from you is a certain bottom line from these resources. You (have to) work like an entrepreneur," its human resources (HR) vice-president Joydeep Bose said.
.
For its efforts in retaining talent — an increasingly difficult task for companies — Olam has been nominated in the "Best Retention Strategies" category at the HRM Awards 2007 to be held tonight.
.
It is the sole local firm to be nominated in the category, alongside multi-nationals such as Barclays Capital Global Services, FedEx, Hewlett-Packard and IBM.
.
Local firms fared better in the "Best Mature Workforce Practices" category.
.
Save for McDonald's, the remaining four nominees are either homegrown private or government-linked companies, including Dairy Farm, SembCorp Environmental Management, SingHealth and Alexandra Hospital.
.
At SingHealth, 70 per cent of its 350-strong retiring workforce has stayed on beyond the retirement age of 62 years old. Eighteen per cent of its 14,000 employees are aged over 50.
.
New jobs were created for mature workers, such as the Singapore General Hospital's Patient Relations Ambassadors, who interact with patients and obtain their feedback. And equipment like hoists to transport patients and magnifiers for easier reading of medicine bottle labels were purchased to ease the workload for these employees.
.
SingHealth's group HR director Geraldine Lee said: "What we're doing more is preparing people for re-employment beyond retirement. The healthcare sector really has people with good skills and these skills can be transferable through a lifetime. It's a waste if we do not tap their skills."

Re: Wishes vs Expectation.
New Year, New Day…
New resolution for the up coming year.
Lots of people already have some new plan and resolution in New Year.
Wishing themselves doing much better and doing well in they way.
What is your New Year resolution?
I get myself a piece of paper…
Write down all my wishes and resolution for someone…
Wishing hard for up coming year…
Will doing well and better for us.
I told myself I will try as hard as I can…
Make all those wishes to come true…
Just for my expectation for someone.
That is my New Year resolution…
Some how…
Do you expect what you will get in the end of the time?
What you wish for… may not is your expectation.
Always…
Manage your expectation before you make any wishes.
It will better to be that way.
