Lunch at Cancun

Let me take this opportunity to congratulate my coworkers to get me to dine Mexican 3 times this month. Yup you heard me right - not once, not twice but THREE times...IN ONE SINGLE MONTH. I think that pretty much used up all my Mexican crusine quotas for the remaining year.

Though I have to say the stuff wasn't too bad, and I definitely enjoyed having a lunch break with the gang. =)


Errr... Nothing comes up at the moment for the caption - I'll fill stuff in later with a post. =)

2 Banana Republic Tees + 1 U2 shirt

Destoryed by that stupid pant I bought in HK. The first BR shirt is totally accident because I forgot that I never washed the pant before. I forgave myself for that thinking that I can afford one tee/shirt. Man wan I wrong. So the next time I was doing laundry, I thought to myself, "Well, it's already been washed once, so the color shouldn't come off this time la..." Well - what I ended up were a brownish tee (originally white) and a blue shirt with light brown patches all over the front.

Stupid pants...

Darn it Google

Did you know that you can customize your own Google page? To be honest with you, I hated it. Don't get me wrong, I like to whole personalization portal thing - after all, I write my company's portal application. It's just that they've made people aware of the Darg & Drop functionality in arranging the different plugins/portlets. I even have other co-workers emailing me telling me to check out the Google portal. I am soooooooooo sure the next thing I'm hearing will be the Drag & Drop.

So we'll try to fight with Google's (as well as some others - not forgetting that I have MS SharePoint on my back already) development resources with our 1.5 developer.

Long time no see, Blog!

Still alive?

It's been a while since my last post - which dated back to...mid-July!? Things had been busy since the beginning of the month because of the deadline. Now that it's finally over (though in reality - not quite there yet), I shall have some breathing room until late September. To be honest, this development phase turned out better than I had expected. Though I still have to push back one of my projects, but the other went through okay. Hopefully this problem will go away next phase when my mentee can start helping out with my projects.

The first 2 buildings in our new campus is almost ready - no word on which team is getting moved at this moment. When all the buildings are finished, the new campus can house around 1500 people. The unfortunate news is that our company now has more than 1900+ employees - which mean some teams will be left behind in Madison for a couple more years. Um...

Just found out that one of my co-workers will be leaving in 4 weeks. What a shock! We've been working closely today since my first project and he's definitely the "knowledge source" on our team. Hack - I worked with him even more than my own team lead. He will definitely be missed - I still remember the day I walked into his office for a crash course in the application so I can start my very first project. A lot of times when I have doubt or simply no clue on what I need to do, he always provide the right info. To make matter worse, I can no longer direct people to him when they come ask me questions - Ouch! This also means that I'll probably have the final say on a lot more matters once he's gone - pressure pressure pressure (Sigh~). I guess eventually we'll adapt, but I'm telling you that it'll take a while.
