Sorry lah, pork is in our culture!

Blog about this later today.

1am: Chelsea and Liverpool won, so its game on for Man Utd now.

[6am update]

I surely know Yap, Wilson and Darrel will say “”bird word, lah!”” when I give my explanation on why I chose relationship when chopping the roasted pork and making a “wish”".

Some might know that I met this dude in the petroleum and gas industry recently. He’s been interested in Taylor’s Engineering talents as well as the possibilities for his company. So yesterday Saturday we had a meeting with him. Not only it was productive, but also information and beneficial; even to a non-Engineering student.

Bottom line is, I was hoping for a successful business and collaborative relationship with this particular boss.

A single meetup between a good looking girl back in high school is probably a catalyst for greater things to come, but at the moment, study and career first, family second, God third, then God willing, maybe we talk about these “serious stuff” when the time is right. At the moment, its good that we open the opportunity lah, but I won’t be as selfish as to put a “booking fee’” or “deposit”" ;)

So, Man United won 5-2 in a thriller. After the first goal conceded, I was just too exhausted from the day’s events. For once, my Internet streaming channel of YES TV! worked flawlessly. But if your physical body cannot handle it, there’s no point pushing.

So far, I’ve listened to the Planet Shakers – Deeper album close to 20 times. Verdict? Yes, it is nice. My favourites are All the Priase and You are Good. Melbourne is worth a visit, not only for the friends there, but also to this wonderful church. I invested in a couple of headsets, one for the phone and another a regular 3.5mm earbud. The earbud sounds like you’re listening in a “hall”". The sound is very hollow and bassy. Its a different experience, so just asking all you audiophiles whether its normal for this to happen. The Sony Ericsson audio converter to 3.5mm … YW predicted it to be RM 200. I got it for RM 20 at Subang Parade.

I wanna talk about being prepared, and the culture of Malaysia in relation to business appointments and meetings.

I gave an e-mail to the attendees to come at 9:30am so we can chat over breakfast and get to know each other, and told them the meeting was at 10am onwards. YW came prompty around 9:30am and we went Foh Foh. I gave calls / messages to the other participants, but phailed.

Nevermind, I had some leeway and by 10:05am YW and I were at the location. Still no sign of anyone! I didn’t panic, cuz I had it all planned. A few phone calls and messages later, I met M at the garden entrance to our prestigeous University campus and later, the boss at around 10:15am. We walked to the meeting area, and luckily the two guys from Taylor’s engineering were here. What a relief! We then started the meeting 10:20am.

Most developed species in this world value their time. When you say “5 minutes”, make sure it is 5 minutes. I got a few more stories to share regarding this meeting, so if you’re free, call me up for a yum-cha session lah :)

Now I’m using Chrome. Its a better browser than Firefox, certaining beating it for speed. But the Download manager is abit funny, and confusing. The tabs also timeout and phail after a few moments of inactivity requiring you to refresh. This browser is still young, so tis forgivable.

I’ll be posting some photos on Facebook, so add me at pip@thepippo.com if you haven’t. That, btw, is also my MSN e-mail address for chatting :)

I formatted my computer and downgraded to Win XP. Wow, it feels so much faster and more responsive than Vista with its animation. Hopefully the games will perform better. Just waiting for Windows 7 to reach Gold Master.

Meetup with Kate, Sook Kuan and gang tonight for Paroimia. Gonna be interesting lah :)
