Its finally confirmed where my current CIO is going...

Starhub's press release

Vice President of Strategic Relations and Public Affairs. Reports directly to CEO. Leading light of the IT industry. Wow... and look at his long list of accolades. Andrew pointed out to me the press release in the morning. Its funny really. How he can find this kind of lobang in this gloom. How when you're up there, your life somehow falls into place cos you know people, your connections will somehow lead you to THE WAY. Maybe he'll go there and set up a SPRC to organise inter-unit games. Maybe he'll even organise a inter-telco dragonboat competition. Whatever it is, I still wish him all the best. Like he needs it.

Lunch was interesting. I believe it was the first time in almost.. half a year, that I actually stepped out of the office and went outside for lunch. VV and Dilip asked me along, at first I didnt want to but I thought, what the hey. We went to the Muslim coffeeshop over at Central. A lot of things made me stop going out for lunch, I told a lot of people that lunch should be private time, that I want to sleep during lunchtime, or that I just dont like eating out. But frankly the main reason is that.. well back at Bukit Merah we used to eat lunch together everyday. Me, Lily, VV, Ed, Andy. Oh and Kok Ching too. The BIS2 gang. Kok Ching stopped joining us after Theresa became his, and he didnt want to have awkward moments if CT is around. Then I had a tiff with Ed and Andy, that was a long story. I still have not talked to them like before. Andy is ok, he still smile at me and we still chat a little bit, but Ed is still cold. And of course, Lily is now with CT and she has lunch with him. And the one thing I cannot stand is to see them together. So I stopped going out for lunch. I figured that that was the best.

Supposed to go Macritchie to run but we started UAT with Gerard and Arthur at only 430. And as usual, there are always surprises. Rebecca created the UDB tables in production wrongly, the creation_date and time were not set to the default system_date. And as a result she had to drop all the tables again and recreate them. UAT only resumed at about 530 and it finished only 2 hours later. By that time Shih Wee had gone home and Poh Yee was busy putting up the CNY decorations. I decided to go to the gym to make up for the 'lost' run. Ran the usual 5km and went home. Stayed up till late to convert Kelvin's wedding tapes to mpg. He still has not given me the angpow for me being the helper/usher/driver for his wedding. I know he gave Saul. He told me twice before that he forgot to bring or that I wasnt around when he brought the red packet. It has been 3 months. I'm not asking for it, I'm fine if he does not give me any, just that, if he said he had forgotten about it, then, does he need a reminder?
