It has only been 2 days since i stopped work. My views on the place:
Very nice people
Lots of work
Lots of freedom
Conclusion: Excellent working environment where there is no such thing as office politics except trying to siam boss's arrows. Colleagues are themselves at work and not putting up a show to anyone or trying to back stab each other. All are focused on doing what is best for the company/meeting their objectives.
Hope Desmond will be able to work there for a long time. I really thought that that is one good place to work in, otherwise i would not have intro-ed him to work there.
Anyway, talking about a new life....
The first day after i stopped work, i went to Enwei's house together with Frankie and got my new laptop!! Its Asus F8sn. Top specs: Core 2 duo T8300, 14'' screen, 250HDD(not sure how i can use it all), nVidia 9500, 4G Ram, Windows Vista plus free gifts.... tian. Im on cloud nine.
Frankie said that he got the 'lousier' laptop but i seriously dont think so. Its most probably got to do with expectations. Vista compared to my desktop... is about the same. Seriously speaking... i cant feel much difference between my laptop's core 2 duo(2.4gHz) and my Desktop's Pentium 4(2.66gHz). Maybe they are the same after multilying it by i dont know what.
Good things about this laptop:
1. Its mine. Courtesty of my mom who bought it for me.
2. It only has MY stuff inside = much less cluttered than my desktop
3. Its new. Looks cool. haha lame -_-''
4. Nothing else
After searching high and low for the best combination of specs, weight, freebies etc and consultation from the experts and settled for this laptop, when i start using it..... I feel indifferent
No ''WOW, this a Asus F8sn, Core 2 duo T8300'' kind of feeling. As long as it can work, im fine with it.
Vista is not much different from XP except that it looks cooler and they just changed arrangements of some buttons thats all.
Most importantly, this laptop has to last me at least 4 years if not longer. So far still ok. Hope that it will last for a long long time

Features an abstract- floral digital artwork drawn by me in photoshop. This layout is appropriate for all genders. The grandiose design is laid freely on a simple canvas and they complement each other pretty well. The sudden gradient change is applied to create one contrasting element. I created a 3D effect on the vines and they seem to jut out of the yellow canvas.
Why the name? The design, as you can see, is abstract and it gives a double-vision feel, therefore, Esophoria, a tendency to squint your eyes inward to create a double vision.
