I do, and I do it often. It breeds negative impression among friends and colleagues. It will not expedite my ascend to the top of corporate ladder, in fact it will most likely hamper any remaining potential of career growth. I know, but I still eat alone. There are just too many questions in my [...]

The Race for a New Game Machine
Posted in Book Review on February 25, 2009 | 5 Comments »
In previous post, I had moved.
In this post, I am moved.
I have just finished reading a splendid book titled “The Race for a New Game Machine: Creating the Chips Inside the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3″ written by ex-IBMer David Shippy.
This book is about the development of Cell processor by STI (Sony, Toshiba, IBM) alliance. [...]

Was it 20 or 30 times that I boarded the elevator to transfer stuff to my car? It was very tiring and boring, making me moody for few days. Luckily by yesterday, everything was settled. I returned the key to the landlord and he returned the deposit by cheque.
Now that I live in Setiawangsa, I [...]
A sign of stress?
Posted in Personal on February 18, 2009 | 9 Comments »
It’s not an uncommon story that a man was unable to find something in a refrigerator, and a woman then went to his help and grabbed the thing right in front of his eyes. Men can be so lost somehow.
I just had one of the more extreme cases of that. I arrived at my desk [...]
Do your part in maintaining privacy !

What happened to YB Elizabeth Wong must be a nightmare. Technologies have been (mis)used to take private photo of her, and to distibute it online. I hope she will not resign over this matter, because it would encourage more of such practice. I am approaching this matter from security point of view, not political.
My stand [...]
Many Changes
Posted in Personal, Work on February 15, 2009 | 11 Comments »
There are changes all around, coming my way and coming within myself. For the latter, I am starting to realise that it is futile to go against fate. I am stucked with my job for at least another 9 years, having sold 10 years of my future for oversea studies. I might as well love [...]
I just got younger !

Haha .. and RM1600 poorer as well. Just bought myself PS3 and a game called Uncharted. I certainly bought this in haste, as I dont have a TV yet that could support the game. The current one is not LCD TV but CRT which is part of the apartment rental.
I’m moving out to my parents’ [...]
A year older
Posted in Personal on February 10, 2009 | 3 Comments »
What’s 2009-1983 ? I wish it was 19. But no, and I cant do anything about it. I am mathematically proven to be 26 , officially today despite my younger spirit, body and mind.
The past 25 years of my life was full of regret, joy, sin, brilliance, shame, glory and folly. I made [...]
Overheating
Posted in Go, Weiqi on February 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Going by my latest writings, it appears that I am less and less of a Go player each day. No more tournament reports, no more public presentations, no more demonstrations to university students and no more all-night Go. Honestly, there was nothing much to write about.
Actually, I still play Go, but only leisurely. Play for [...]
Dilemma
Posted in Personal, Work on February 6, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Ah dilemma. Boss asked me bluntly “Are you going to leave? Going to do PhD etc? Because I am considering you for a position.”
And .. I gave the vaguest answer I could.
What if I have to stash away all my dreams to be a computer expert? A security expert? A programming guru? I [...]
