Who is the inventor of Thumb Drive? I've got the answer from today's newpaper - it is a Malaysian by the name of KS Pua (潘建成）。
I must admit that i did not know it until this morning, that thumb drive was actually invented by a Malaysian. To be more exact, Pua was the founder of a Taiwanese Company called Phison and it was this company that invented this gadget.
More details here:

I did not come across the information about 潘建成 from the technical or IT column of the paper but it was from the SPM result annoucement that I got to know that 潘建成 was from 育群 in Sekinchan that produced two 16A1 top students this year.
Apparently Sekinchan is a place that is 卧虎藏龙。 The headmaster of New Era (新纪元）潘永忠 is also from Sekinchan.

彩虹
今早在公司厕所的地上见到了彩虹。好意外的发现呀！
记不得最近一次见到彩虹是何年何月，但怎么也没想到下一次的偶遇会是在厕所的地板上。
在此特别附上彩虹近照一张，以娱大家。
忘了彩虹是什么颜色？如图所示：红橙黄绿蓝靛紫 是也。

Approaching 20th Month
I can't believe that I have been in the blogging for almost 20 months now.
It all started when i was in Dublin. Back than life was so plain and bored. That was probably the only "honey moon" period for my entire career life. I hadn't got any assignment at that time, with only 1 objective i.e. to be "trained" on company's processes and procedures. Having said that, i would not perceive that as a waste of time as I indeed learned so much that i couldn't have achieved without been in Dublin.
i built trust with the team over there which made the subsequent communication less difficult. Also, it is always good to know a person by face apart from by his/her name.
Anyway, that was history. Just flashed to my mind when recalling about what led to the birth of this blog.

Morib day trip 30/1
I have done my first posting into youtube for a video clip that was taken using my new JVC camcorder.
Well, that was taken during our family trip to Morib on the 30th Jan - 5th day of CNY.
Talking about the trip, that was our fist time to the coastal of Selangor covering Klang-Banting-Morib-Tg Sepat-Bagan Lalang.
Well, the beach wasn't that great but that was kind of a family outing experience which was great after all.

AirAsia Zero Fare - again
I did not book any tickets during the recent Airasia 0 fare sales. I think we will be limiting this year's vacations more towards day trips or trips within Malaysia.
Despite that, we are still having 2 overseas trips scheduled - Zhang-Jia-Jie, China in Apr, and Bandung Indonesia in July.
The one to China is strictly a back pack trip without Wen Jia while the one to Bandung is a shopping trip which Wen Jia will go along.
I am looking forward for a trip to either Bangkok or Phuket for it is of lower cost and of course for the shopping and nice food.

Amdocs
Effectively mid Dec, the organization that i worked with had been merged into another bigger organisation called Amdocs. We have been acquired or "swallowed" by that bigger organisation.
I have not heard of Amdocs by any chance before the merger. Apparently it is a large organization with 17,000 of employees. And now i am one of the employee of this bigger entity.
2 months has passed since the merger and I am still struggling with the changes. Obviously when you are merged into a bigger entity, changes are tremendous!
While coping with the change, I am still waiting for the most awaited news of the year - salary review. If it wouldn't because of the merger, i should have known it by end Jan. And now, in the name of merger, there would be realignment of everything to be in line with the bigger organisation - obviously. Apart from that, i have not heard of any "bad" news yet in terms of job cut or the like. So, lets pray that this is not happening very soon.
