Presentations at Work
Mood:  bright
Topic: Office
Giving live presentations is a common thing in our meeting room. By live, I mean talking about and displaying an actual application, such as a web portal, via the network. It's crucial that everything is tested before the presentation begins, so that you're not caught with your pants down.

Visiting Patients at the Hospital
Mood:  sad
Topic: Friends
Once in a while, one of your relatives or friends end up warded in a hospital. It could be due to illness or giving birth. Well, one of my friends had severe migraine and was throwing up, so had to be hospitalised. This is the nurse reception counter at the ward.

Flowered Fountain
Mood:  cheeky
Topic: Office
We have a water fountain in front of our main HQ office. There are pretty flowers lined up around the fountain area. On a hot day, it's nice and cooling to be standing beside the fountain.

Halls of Lift
Mood:  loud
Topic: Office
To arrive at my office, you need to travel via these lifts that are situated in a marble-walled hall. There are eight lifts (i think), and there are two sets of these! Even then, it can take some time to wait for them. But once in a lift, it moves pretty quickly.

DVD Surround
Mood:  loud
Topic: Home
My nephew and I setup our mini home theatre by plugging the newly purchased DVD player with his Sony amplified four-speaker surround system. We then tested it by watching "The Matrix" rather loud. It was an awesome experience!

DVD Player
Mood:  happy
Topic: Home
I purchased a new DVD player by Philips today. It only costs RM299! I remembered I bought a VCD player years ago for RM1400 (and this was then stolen.) It's remarkably powerful yet simple to use. It even managed to play CDs that were dirty and slightly scratchy.

Hotel Hopping
Mood:  lucky
Topic: Office
On a holiday on the east coast, one would do island hopping, but in the capital, one would do hotel hopping. I get to visit hotels once in a while to attend conferences or seminars. Sometimes our office has meeting sessions at hotels. Nice things are the glorious settings and delicious food available at these expensive venues.

African Tribal Dance Show
Mood:  vegas lucky
Topic: General
At a local shopping complex, there was a dance troupe from Africa staging a traditional tribal dance using somewhat current dance music.




There was a large crowd watching the show and a few cheering to the presentation. I saw a few actually participating on stage where they had the limbo rock thingy as well.

Trains in an European Town
Mood:  celebratory
Topic: General
Was passing into a local hotel today and there was a large toy train setup complete with an European landscape, in the lobby. This was for the coming Xmas celebrations. A variety of trains were moving on the tracks and there were numerous houses and building and tunnels constructed around the trains. Pretty cool.

Shopping at Night
Mood:  quizzical
Topic: General
About the only time to do a bit of grocery shopping during weekdays is in the evening. Needless to say, the shops would be filled with people and searching for a carpark is close to impossible. By the time you finished queuing and paying for your things, night has fallen.
