Balancing Act

Philip Khor — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 12:36:07 +0000

Wednesday – Saturday, i will have to balance several things. A few websites to complete, but thank God school work hasn’t kick into full gear yet. Need to get my room organised systematically.

Had a good dinner with Yang Wei and Lukas here in SS15. Very nice stuff.

Here’s a Looney tune cartoon from back from those days. Mmm.. memories.

What a night it has been.

We lost. They were the better team, good job Barca. Good bye CR7.

I had Advertising presentation at 10am that day, and we only got started like, 9:15am or something, at the Mezanine floor. It wasn’t 100% great, but we met like.. 80% of the requirements, good enough for a pass, possibly a Credit.

Slept like a pig til 8:30pm and went for gym. The mamak at Carrefour had a blackout whilst having 20-30 customers. It was interesting to note their “crisis management” and I learnt a thing or two about management.

Tomorrow is bowling day. Also it is Networking Fundamentals assignment due date. Gotta put the pieces together like I always do, add salt and pepper and package it up in a nice envelope. Presentation, and first impressions are super important, so gotta put in more effort on that.

My Chinese Name is Khor Hock Khoon. In Mandarin, its Fu Kun. In Hokkien its Hock Khoon. In Kantonese its Fook Kin. In Angmoh, its Foo Goon. In Arabic, its Fuuuh Hooon.

The first character means: tax; give; endow; army; diffuse
The second character means: descendant; elder brother

So, either I’m:

- Army’s descendent / elder brother

- I deffuse my descendants / elder brother

- I TAX them (?)

- I give them (?)

I think I need to ask you Sifu Cina (yes Yap and Wilson and Darrel, I’m referring to you) to give me a sound and logical explanation.

This weekend I’ll be attending a Students Leadership Summit at Pan Pacific KLIA. Dress code is extremely formal, so I hope I don’t disregard and disrespect any protocol. Deep in my heart I wanna dress up as a Sheikh and a white-on-white robe complete with headgear. What do you think?

I flopped quads. Too bad I had 2000 chips left. Should have reloaded.

Pork Dinner

Pippo — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 16:36:55 +0000

I realise we have Muslim friends on this blog, so, click the Read More at your own risk

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

Murni’s was nice. Stay tuned.
