It has been weeks since the beginning. What was good on papers ended up to be somewhat opposite. Who would have guessed when the challenges ahead was none but the trials and tribulations. Often we plan but as we steer towards progress, adaptation met rigid. It’ll be fun, they say. Behold!

Meanwhile on the dark side of the moon, changes is when I smell a subtle sign conflict of interest. Everyone man is for himself. You don’t say? Progression we have made. By now, all I can see is that when the life gives you a lemon, you need to rearrange it to become melon. Reverse engineered the whole things. Heh!

What we sign up for? Good ol’ jolly or to grow suffer together as a whole?

I told my nephew that we need to have our own childhood during a trip to Penang lately. At least to experience something, things we need to do and to experience of. Like example trying out All Terrain Vehicle, which I finally done it. Something to cross off my bucket list.

100% Renewable Energy

When you are in the energy industry, one cannot omit but to be alert on the related matters such as this. I look funny when it says 100% renewable energy by what means? Human to squeeze the lemon?

IKEA Meat Balls

After 9 months joined this organization, I finally attended an external party training. The training was “managing relationship at work” some sort of interpersonal skills training. My General Manager commented that there are a lot of things which they don’t know about me. I have a lot of secrets. One of them is my alter ego. Dale Tan. Frostier. Of course, I would claim myself to be a borderline person. Within seconds my mood swings from left to right. Like a pendulum. Uncertainty. Yes.

Indeed I am a serious man. A man of few words? Maybe. It depends on my moods, I would say. Just like how lights can affect one’s emotions. Look at the things that is going on in my life, it makes me wonder at the marvelous of the God. The dynamics of light spectrum – from yellow to white affect the ambiance. I begin to cherish yellow light more although it might be too warm the feelings.

Just the other day I was reading the Power of Now, it reminds me of the cluttered mind. My mind is no longer clear. Cluttered with the petty matters. I need to get rid of it somehow. The faster the better. Thus I can’t really write a decent post anymore. It seems I lost my mind. I am. heh!

2 more months to go, my exam coming up. Am I fully prepare for it. I kid you not, I am totally nervous about it. I wished I have more time. Maybe I should cut down certain things which is not beneficial to me. Perhaps the delay gratification works too. Such as quitting the movie watching or playing games. Sacrifices one got to make.

When it comes to people, it is forever dynamics. Changing faster than one can imagine. I mean yeah, everyone thinks they know the best of what need to do. Intentions are sincere and decent, it boils down to how they say, “one man’s meat is another man’s poison”. Different people require different strokes. It just matters of time before I get to the part where I need to hold accountability of each and everyone.

Finally I did it. I manage to finish a book, after all these while, the temptations from various party involved. It wasn’t a big deal. Just that I need to read to feed my soul. Like chicken soup for the soul? Sort of. Just to feel good about it, I guess.

Responsibility and ownership. Though the pay wasn’t that good to brag, it do means a lot when it comes to realize that these few man are under my responsibility. I need to ensure that they all success in what they are doing. Had to admit I am not in the field with them most of the time but trust me, I wanted to and I will whenever situation permits.

It has been a year since Snoopy and I started going out. Thank for all these while she is by my side. Her support means a lot. Thanks S.

During that Bryan wedding dinner, it make me realized that over the past 8 years into blogging things have moved on to the commercial world. Who else blogs because they have the sort of obligation to put one’s mind on the cyberspace. What if someone used it to the benefits for themselves?

Mainly because I begin to dedicate my time doing something else. My new job demand my attention over the day while committed to few of my interest. This year I come to have to fulfill my Grade 3 attempt. A few days into March but my preparation seems to be very weak.

Life has too many interruption. My mind keep wanders off as I type this post. Unsure of where to begin and where it will leads me to.

When I look back at my last post, I just recalled that because of the good customer service, I returned back to Logitech to purchase my next mouse, for my home use. I guess simply because a good customer service will assure that the brand itself is worthy of.

Since there isn’t much stickiness within my mind, most of the thoughts are gone. Better save it for next time.

When you buy a product, what are the expectation you should be having? An awesome user experience using the product. When I decided to go for wireless mouse in 2008, I bought those cheap mouse, ranging from RM40~RM60. After the few months usage, it fails. That was when I rant it to Jason not long ago. He told me to go straight for the best. It shall last me few years. I took his advice and opted for the Logitech Anywhere MX. The one with the dark field where it can go through the glass and yet still functioning.

It comes with the USB Unifying port. Logitech decided to consolidate all their devices into one receiver, rather than having different receiver for different devices. It was a noble idea. In fact, I very much agree to it given that the USB ports on the notebook not enough. Last year, the USB Unifying receiver start to giving me some problem. Unable to detect all sort. I gave up and change to another Unifying receiver which I had at home. A secondary receiver for my wireless keyboard also from Logitech.

Towards end of last year, the second started to fail. Left with no choice, I got to go search for replacement. It was pleasant to see that the Logitech online store do sell the USB Unifying Receiver. To my dismay, it was only available in the US region. Thus I called up the Sales Office in Malaysia.

Again, it let me to disappointment where there is no one picking up. Kind of a letdown. I resorted back to the online support and finally after a few weeks of waiting, the support team reverted telling me I should be getting a replacement for my USB Unifying receiver. Thanks to Woah for the support. I believe this should be because the mouse I am using comes with 3 years warranty? The UPS parcel was sent out all the way from Taiwan. Wow…!

My question to Logitech would be why we can’t get it in Malaysia when the company direction is to promote Unifying and Harmony to consumer market? Being in a principal company myself, I do understand that we need to have a certain market coverage before able to bring in the replacement. Since most of the devices are powered with Unifying, I believe it should do just to bring the USB receiver for the replacement market. Unless judging from the sales point of view, if everyone go for the USB replacement, what will happen to the new devices? Sales will be definitely affected one way or the other.

This leads me to believe that Logitech as a global company believes that a good customer care. Especially from a consumer point of view.

If anyone from the Logitech reading this, please take it as a letter of recommendation to Woah [Incident: 111224-002943]

Thanks!
