calvin's duck

Wagyu beef steak with brocolli, capsicum and seasoned potatos. With wolf blass yellow label cab sav.

my favourite snack!

Deep fried crab sticks! Perfect with beer!

I get good view of the road junction. And near miss traffic accidents. : o

see ? Not even 7pm..

All gone back... : p (view of IT Dept, Corporate Dev cubicles). Managers offices on the left row.

my office designer chair

Herman Miller Aeron Chair. Supposed to cost abt $1600. ergonomic features, but damm uncomfortable for people with bad posture like moi..

however, the dow was up more than 11 percent last night?

There should be a good spurt today, leading to some key results announcements this week and next week. Let see...

it's going down again today..

Another battering on the stock exchange today for sure..

dinner!

Minced beef with capsicum & onion. Egg fried rice with garlic. Cab sav red.

wantan noodles

Greenspan says he was wrong ? private home prices and rents down...

As long as not melamine tainted ...

desk much better today...

a major project canceled, so one big chunk of work gone. : p. So reorganized the desk a bit. Will need to find time to clear bottom right, and bottom centre over the next 2 days. Top right handled by able mgr. (p/s: just found out that i can 'auto-focus' the camera phone. So the picture should be as good as the ones taken by the e90)

exchange rates gone nuts!

$1 sing dollar = $0.997 aussie dollar!
$1 sing dollar = $1.499 us dollar!

taiwanese mua-chees

Yummy... Very addictive

102 stalls

India sents mission to moon. And some light at end of tunnel for minibond investors ? (for the above 62 anyway..)

help for downturn..

But only by february next year when 'situation will be clearer'. : o anyway, teaC plus newspaper is now $1.90. Plus 102, roughly abt $4 per day.

messy office table

Too much work! Top right hand side - QAQC/Commissioning stuffs, bottom right - Safety & regulatory stuffs, top centre - corporate and yard development, IT dept stuffs, top left- projects (conversions, fpso,etc), bottom centre - projects (offshore), bottom left - management meetings. Laptop facing auspicious direction for health, monitor facing auspicious direction for success (maybe the other way round?), obsolete desk phone, and box of green tea.

roller-coaster week

Stocks were up a bit after fed 700B bailout, then crashed after poor US jobs data, then up a bit after EU banks joint initiatives, then crashed again after some EU banks collapsed... Plus oil at usd70 per barrel, oil and gas stocks at historical low. Oh ya, singapore in technical recession and government announced 150B deposits guarantee.
