Phew... almost there...
A late flight tomorrow to Moscow and begin my holiday in Russia and Dubai (UAE).
So, I guess this may be my last blog till my return. May everything goes well while I am not around.
Last night, I began my packings and having been transferring as much movies into my Creative Zen Vison:M as possible, also recharge my Casio digital camera. There will be more packing tonight.
See you, friends.
P.S. : CR, hope I can receive your good news before I fly. All the best.

Some movies and musical for the past 1 week.
Last week, I watched the 'Inside Man'.
It is very good, with a exciting and clever story.
2 days ago, I choose the Musical Movie 'The Producers'
This is also very good, it is witty, catchy, humorous. A very relaxing musical movie. I am considering getting the DVD when it is release.
Yesterday, I attented the Broadway Musical 'Westside Story' at Espanade by the bay. This musical is only average for musical. The music is not impressive, except may be one or two songs. The story is simple too. May be I have too high a expectation.

It is 1 year now.
Last year today, I am separated.
During then, I am devastated and sank to the bottom of the valley of depression. 365 days had passed, the earth continue to spin, my pain has gone from unbearable, painful, numb, and finally leaving only the scar. Once, I thought this pain will always be there, but time prove me wrong. I came back with numerous changes and my life is back on track now.
I will like to say thanks to my mum and all the friends that have spent their precious time with me, bringing me out of darkness. Some of them are still reading my blog.
Also, to you fellow bloggers, who keep dropping encouragement to me since my blog started.
I hope I have fulfill my objective of naming my blog 'Rays of Sunlight'.

My Blog's Chinese Name.
I saw my blog's name referred in LDD's blog link as '陽光金箭'.
Thanks, I like that very much!
You have spend some effort in making them neatly by 4 character each. Nice!

Blogging
I first started blogging when I feel lonely and needed to express myself, with or without audience. It helps me release my emotional tension and helps me sleep and lives better. Since I started blogging, I have friends who feel the same need to express and relase emotion, and started their own blogs.
Some friends have blog that does not touch on feeling initially, but that soon changed. Feelings were poured into words on their writings. Because, without that, the blog is like without soul. Some friends pour their feeling into it from started, for that, I am very glad to say, you are leaving something behind that someday when you look back and know how much you have gone through and how strong you have been.
Dear friends, life is unpredictable, lets live everyday to its fullest. And blog it if you want to remember these important days that we are breathing ...

Batch Blogs again
It is batch blog again.
Blog 1)
Bought new toy again.
Aiyo... always like to spent...
This time, I change my room monitor to use a Samsung 26 inch LCD TV.
Also added a small little high defination DVD player by Shinco beside it.
Using Resolution of 1360 x 768 wide screen, double up for TV + DVD movie.Feel so relax now, can watch DVD before sleep and shut down via remote, compare to getting up and shutdown computer (used to play via Computer).
Sigh... I must be getting lazy.
Blog 2)
Meet up Reginald for the 'last' time.
Reginald, my ex-colleague, a SAP Administrator has migrated, he came back last week to do his final packing. We (with some other colleagues) meet up at this Japanese Sake Bar for dinner and drink. It is very comfortable, although the food is average. The 5 of us finished a big bottle (1.8 liter) of Sake while he chat about the good old time... I hope we will meet again.
Blog 3)
Today is my 1st day at my new cubicle (was told to shift, so that the new team is together). I am seated right outside my Deputy CIO's room. A new task is handed down today, I will tested the use on this 3G PCMCIA card and software from VodaPhone which M1 is using in Singapore for wireless access.
I installed it, quite easy and the software is friendly to use. However, the max speed of 384kbps is not easy to achive and maintain, performance go up and down, not consistent. Checked the price, very expensive too.
Also tested with our VPN, it is stable. The good point is that one can access the internet anytime anywhere as long as the mobile signal is there.
Will check out the market for more comparison, hopefully give a good report for this little task.

My career path
Today, I received my appraisal result.
Get a good bonus (better than last year), but my promotion is turn down by the highest management. Although my performance grade is higher than the previous 3 years, it is not enough to convince for promotion. I will have to get another high grade this year for consistency for achieve it next year.
I am not very disappointed, may be I did not put in high hope in the first place. If I am looking for money and position, I will have left 3 years ago. I stayed for the still small office environment and acceptable salary.
Now, my new post (Senior Analyst) is directly under the Deputy CIO, who is not too technical. I hope I can do my work with my freedom.
Although it is very tough working under the previous technical manager, I did learn a lot. May be I still have not achieve her high expection, I do appreciate her guidance for this few years. Recently, I saw her brokedown. In her new role, she have lost all her engineers, and the new vendors is not up to the standard to handle things themselve without consulting her. She is totally overloaded to the point of breaking down. I hope she can fare well in her new role.

Movie : Ice Age 2
Now, this is a exact opposite of 'Ultraviolet'. Ice Age 2 is wonderful show that bring joy and laughter. I have not enjoy a show so much for some time. Go watch it now.
Movie : Ultraviolet
I watched this movie on Wednesday night. I have always like to watch Milla Jovovich since 'fifth element' and the 'residential evil'. Unfortunately, this movie is a total failure. The movie has a extremely hollow story and nearly the whole show is fighting and killing, what a waste of talent.
