Great Online Shopping

Shopping nowadays is becoming easier with the creation of online shopping sites. I know of people who hardly ever shop outside in physical stores anymore as they find much better deals online and love the convenience of their purchases delivered to their doorstep. Personally, what I like about online shopping is the plethora of reviews out there on sites such as click here which give non-biased reviews on products to help you make your decision. Here's to more great online shopping!

Forgetting Wedding Anniversary

I had a good laugh the other day when my friend told me how her dad got into trouble for forgetting his own wedding anniversary. Instead of having a nice dinner with her mom, he went out drinking with his friends instead! His efforts to send flowers next day were not compensation enough and he has to put up with outside food for the time being as his wife will not cook for him! Worse, he uses his wedding anniversary date as his password for everything! Somehow men and wedding anniversaries just don't gel! I don't understand why they can never remember the date!

Video Conferencing

One impressive thing my office has is a Halo video conferencing system that allows you to hold live video conferencing with people from other parts of the world. There is only one facility in this region and I was surprised to learn that some people actually come in all the way from KL just to use the facility. Perhaps they hold really important megameeting.com web conferencing type meetings that need to be done face-to-face, virtually. I've never tried it before but hope to have the chance to one day!

DH and his iMac

I never knew DH to be an Apple fan but when he saw a promotion for the iMac, it didn't take him long to click online to purchase it! The sweetener of the deal for him was the free epson printers that came with the iMac which did make it a very good deal overall. Needless to say, he's thrilled with his Mac and we now have a huge 27 inch screen sitting on our coffee table! It takes quite some time to learn how to use it as the Mac has no right click function. Perhaps we should look into purchasing Windows for Mac to make things easier.

Electronic Health Machines

A new centre dealing in electrostimulation machines has set up near my place. It operates machines that promote circulation in your body. All one needs to do is to place their feet on it for half hour and some have claimed significantly increased health benefits as a result. I've been giving it a try as they are running free trials for the first 15 sessions. I'll post more if it works on my bad circulation!

Really Strange Colleague

One of my colleagues is really odd. His shoe sole came off yesterday and when my other colleague asked when he'll be buying a new pair of shoes, he said he was on an austerity drive. That really surprised us as he actually comes from a wealthy family. Even odder was his reply when we asked why he was on an austerity drive - just for the sake of it! Gosh, even if you are on an austerity drive, there comes a time when shoes need to be changed because nothing lasts forever! And worse, we weren't even asking him to buy an expensive shoe like mbt shoes! He's really quite strange and funny at times.

Resume Update

I've just updated my resume and believe there are still lots of improvements I can make to it. It does seem a little too long and I believe I should cut it down further as ideal resumes are only two to three pages long especially if one is planning to go for management jobs where recruiters may not have much time to read a detailed resume. I think I need much further work on it tonight before I finalise and send it out to the head hunters.
