Training at SMU

Filed under: BarCap — hendrikch @ 11:57 pm

I have training for today and tomorrow held at SMU Social Science and Economics campus. Nice campus, right in the middle of the city. Here are some shots I took. Too bad the university have gone into holiday, so I practically saw no one except for those who are doing training today as well (I saw UOB M9 preparation course at level 4, and Starhub Leadership Programme at level 5)My Name and the class

Singapore History Museum
Great view from the classroom out to the National Museum of Singapore.

The corridor of the classroom
Outside the classroom, a very modern view and layout, put NTU classroom during my era to shame :(

Some random photos I took in Sentosa at night. Very nice. The first time I took the Sentosa Express LRT, I tried using the ez-link, it was rejected :p. I didn’t know that I have to buy $3 special ez-link-like special ticket. cheyyyy…. I thought can just use ez-link.

One week update

federer wimbledon 2007
Since last week’s lunch at River City, it has been a busy week for me. First, the nights were spent watching Wimbledon, in particular Men’s Singles Final between Roger Federer (world number 1) and Rafael Nadal (world number 2). The match went very very tense, with emotions flying up and down. Federer won the first set 7-6 after a thrilling tie-breaks, but Nadal won the second set 6-4, then another tie break which Federer won, but again Nadal fought back to equal the set by winning the fourth set 6-2. Federer record in 5 sets are 9 wins to 10 losses, whereas Nadal’s 9 wins to 2 losses, so the odds are in Nadal’s favour. Federer was down 15-40 twice and Nadal just needed one point to break in the final set. Instead, Federer saved all four break points chances, and broke Nadal in the sixth game to lead 4-2. diehard4posterMinutes later, at 5-2, a first championship point for Federer was saved by Nadal, but he couldn’t prevent world number 1 from getting his fifth consecutive Wimbledon’s trophy on a second break point. The match ended 7-6, 4-6, 7-6, 2-6, 6-2 to the champion. Okay, before I sound like a sports news reporter, I’ll stop here, but it was a really really thrilling match. The best tennis match I’ve ever watched so far.

On Friday, I also went for Die Hard 4. The movie supposedly started at 8.50pm, we came in at 8.55 pm, and the movie has already started. Apparently, I have missed three scenes :( Very good movie it was.

Saturday was Iwan and Sari wedding high-tea reception. The first wedding that I attended that has drama in it. Good job for the organizers. Of course, congrats Iwan and Sari, not sure if any of you will ever read this anyway. A 7-years long distance relationship is never easy, and I salute both of you for pulling it through.

Monday was Monday blue.
Tuesday was normal.
Wednesday, another lunch, this time I went to Mustard’s at Little India for authentic Bengal and Punjabi food. Needless to say I didn’t enjoy it, but it’s a good experience nonetheless. Will I go back? Not a chance. Will I recommend? Well, if you like Indian food, I guess so :)

harry potter
At night, I went for Harry Potter movie. Quite short I felt, but the movie was just okay I felt. I’m still looking forward to Transformers though. Settled dinner at Kenny Rogers accompanied by all those romantic oldies song haha… Great day, I truly enjoyed today :)

Avanade Success Story

Filed under: Uncategorized — hendrikch @ 11:14 pm

When a well-known web site writes good things about the company you work for, it really helps to boost morale. It feels great when other people see so high of the company you’re in, like “It is not Avanade’s undoubted technological expertise which fascinates me, its the organisations ability to deliver outstanding profitability to its shareholders and world-class delivery capability to its customers.“.
