Well a random update before leaving for half day

Seems like a few sudden changes in the team we are working with, loads of department heads switching roles and moving to other fields. Which will affect us quite a bit, but that’s part of corporate world like one of them told me yesterday.

Since it’s unavoidable, then we will just have to deal with it head on…

Aside from the above…
Found out some rather amusing things and comments based on another team’s action and fb profiles.

I just can’t understand why some have to attack people they work with, over an event result. It’s sad to know they are unable to acknowledge others’ strengths and abilities, constantly belittling other teams.

Sad, is such behavior.

Maybe it’s because of such people and behavior, we learn to appreciate nicer people around us and learn to be true / nice.

… lose your significant other, to someone of the same sex as partner or someone of the opposite?

Strange topic / question, right?

My colleagues (mainly ladies) and i were discussing about this over lunch and it really got everyone of us thinking, commenting and wondering. Half of them would rather lose to someone of the opposite sex (meaning, losing to another girl) and the other half of us, would rather lose to someone of the same sex (meaning, same sex as our significant other / partner).

Interesting 50/50 result.
Especially when the results come from singles, attached and married ladies in our team… and not forgetting our only guy in the team.

I could understand why those who rather lose to the opposite sex feel. To them, at least their partner is still considerably normal, being shallow for liking someone with a nicer figure or looks and not doing something which they deemed as weird or disgusting (note: safer thinking).

As for me, I feel I’d rather lose to someone of the same sex as my partner.
Reason, at least I know there’s nothing I can do to change myself to his change of heart and somehow I think I can live with that, if ever that happens. But not to another girl, as I would question if everything done was insufficient.

Same goes for the other half of the team.

Like one of my colleagues said, if that really happens, I would try to be friends with that person and love to accept him as he love my partner. Idealistic, but it could work.

Issue: would that person think, feel and act the same way?

Something to think about, on a slow midweek workday

I was doing my grocery shopping earlier with DD when we spotted these.

A totally partially exposed chocolate easter egg and broken easter bunny, that’s on the shelf.
I’m pretty sure the supermarket staff didn’t play punk, just to have a laugh but some itchy handed consumer certainly did. Someone who’s overly curious to know what is in it.

Whoever did this, it’s not funny.

It’s never appropriate to open up a merchandise (be it food or anything) and leave it out in the open, giving pests a chance to crawl over it and knowing kids would be curious to touch or taste it. Which 2 kids actually did, touching it and almost tasting it.

And there was another incident, which i found a packet of freshly grounded beef, having the protective plastic cover poked through by another goon (totally different issue and at different supermart).

To all, please do not be so inconsiderate and tamper with food.
If you don’t have the intention to buy or even if you are just pissed off, don’t take it out on food as it could cause food poisoning if someone were to purchase and consume it.

Note:

The above items had been removed and trashed.
Received a call from the branch, appreciate their fast response

On Facebook, a friend left a reply to my “addicted, gaming on my satio :p” status:
“but still cannot beat iphone. =X”

Is there even a need to justify the gaming capability of iphone?

I replied in hope to turn it into a ‘laugh it off’ comment but he didn’t get it and went on and on about the iphone / cars comparisons / PnS cameras. Didn’t think it was even necessary to debate over a phone or go fan-boyish over it, since it’s running on different OS and different functions.

To compare the IPhone to a SE Satio, or any other brands of phones just because you prefer it or like, is like comparing medications.
One man’s medication is another man’s poison.

Aside from the above…

It has been a month since i got my Satio. Still trying out the functions, so far so good, no major issues after the latest firmware patch.

Feedback:

- screen – requires tweaking, not extremely sensitive as i would want it to be.

- photo quality in 12mp – near Fuji F50d quality, good.

- default 8mp – seemed grainy and would require photo editing.

- photo modes – inadequate.

- picasa plugin uploader – one photo at a time, time consuming.

- rss feeds – stuck at 25posts per feed, would be better if it’s at 100posts per feed.

- wifi connection – unstable while using home secure network but works perfectly on free wifi network.

- games and applications – preloaded with trial versions, look for free games / applications for N5800.
