31 Aug 08 - 6 Sep 08

It has been hell for me. Many many meetings and never-ending deliverables. Sorry for not able to update my blog for a week and thanks for the reminder, looks like someone is reading my blog. How can I increase the readership? Need to seek some advise from the experts.

I was reviewing my week and realise that I did quite a number of things. Sales meeting with Avinash. WOW!!! The client is IBM. We are moving into the mainstream now. Our goal is to build up our business next year and prepare ourselves for government tender in 2010.

Met up with some business partners I met at the CIX and their are very supportive towards my idea. Imagine that there is a LCD panel mounted on top of a cab delivering multi-media messages to audience based on time and location. Content and display logic are delivered to these panel via GSM network. We could also integrate bluetooth capabilities to increase interactivity on these panels. Our cluster of 5 will be coming up with the presentation by Nov to seek for funding. It is getting exciting now.

My in-laws is in town this week and they flew in on Thu together with their friends. They all put up at our place and our home suddenly became very noisy. Well, I am glad for my wife as these are times where she is really occupied and be happy. I could also take time off now to catch up with things that I haven't do for a long time.

Friday, I was working at Starbuck till 8pm and I have to say, their tuna melt is damn good. After work, I went over to Chambers to meet a friend to find out what is she planning for her career development. We had a short discussion and I do support her views and decision. But it will also mean that some people may be disappointed. I just hope that things will work out well for her as well as all the good people around her. They all deserve something better.

Attended yet another networking session and get to know a few people. Event was wonderful and the place is great.

A recent web site that I have just completed.

30 Aug 2008

I woke up in the morning at 5.30am after hearing repeated ring from someone pressing the door bell. Who the hell come to do marketing so early? The door bell sounded again. Can't be my home assistant. She only come on Tues? Then my wife's mobile phone rang and I suddenly remembered that her friend is coming. Quickly opened the door and invited the friend to come in. Nah.....my wife is still sleeping soundly. What a funny way to meet her friend. This is the first time we meet. Showed them around (half awake) and soon, my wife woke up to welcome them. Soon our guest went to the room to rest. I took this opportunity to complete a web site for my client.

Soon, I am back on bed. The next time I saw sunlight was 10.00am. We went to Marina - Dian Xiao Er for our lunch. The duck and prawn is yummy. Did some shopping at Marina, Suntec, City Link and City Hall. COMEX is packed and the deals are not too interesting.

By 2.00pm, we left our guest at Marina to meet up with their friends while we went to Kallang for foot reflexi. I slept during the massage!!! Pick up the friends and we all went home.

Dinner was at 6.00pm, Chicken Rice at Braddell. After dinner, we went to night safari. It was quite tiring. We left that place at 10.30pm and drove to Clarke Quay for a drink. We stopped by clinic and wanted to try the drips. But the one that we wanted was not available. We ended up drinking from the syringe. We scout around for a more interesting location but we realise that we are quite tired already. So, we decided to call it a day and drive home to sleep.

What an interesting day. I better get some rest before I begin my next buzy day on Sunday.
