Time alone while together

Somehow I find it interesting that it is always during the time that I am left alone for extended period of time to realize that I have not touch my blog for a very long time.

It's been almost two months in my new job. Things are good and probably I am doing things I always say not to do, moving too fast, rocking some boats.

I was supposed to meet the insurance agent to help my in laws with their coverage, but my father in law had a fall, injuring his head. A man of few words for the most part of what I know him, he ask at least a million times how he fell and hurt himself. Everyone is very worried, and I am feeling a little lost.

What a time to have this, but this simply shows how unpredictable life can be.

We all don't know what may happen to us tomorrow.

Enjoy every single day!

The Red Astute

Did not realize that this post did not get out. It was once a Favourite of mine with lots of modification and additives.

I am glad that I am able to find it.

Headphones and amps

Took out some of my old toys to play with and got some interesting findings:

Headphones:
Akg k501 and modded Xiangsheng 708B
A little sharp and bright for my liking. Suspect that it might not be a good pair, could be the mod that was done on XS.

AKG K240 600ohms with XS 708B
I thought they goes really well. Very quiet background, good space and control on the music.

Audio technica AD900 with XS 708B
Too bright for my liking, it is probably worst than k501 with XS. However the AD900 give the widest stage.

Modded Grado SR80 and XS 708B
Goes well together but not as good as the k240m with XS. I kind of forgotten how grado sounded due to the huge amount of mods I have done to the headphones. I think I need to change the Grado back to its old cables to understand how it was like, I may have done something wrong along the way.

Finally it's over

Since November last end, I have been pretty sadden by the fact that I was demoted without a valid reason from my company. It's not because I cannot accept the demotion but more upset with the fact that the company was unable to give me a reason for that. In terms of performance there was definitely no place to pick on.

It was further worsened when the sales target was further increased by another 300% without proper mapping. Sometimes, I find it really interesting how my English boss can actually say things which sounds really ludicrous in a way that he felt was a matter of fact. I am bewildered by it but nonetheless I am absolutely glad that I am finally out.

There are just so many things I want to do during this break, I just can't wait.

Woohoo march holidays! I am feeling like a kid a again.

Happy Chinese New Year

2 reunion meals, lots of people and a really tired couple.

This is probably the earliest I ever go to bed on the eve of CNY.

Good night world.

Chinese New Year 2013

Chinese New Year is here again. Union dinners, Ang baos, lots of traveling around the island is definitely in the cards in the next few days.

Not sure if its the power of hope, but I actually very looking forward to CNY. It have been a rough year. While we managed to complete a few things that we have set out for 2012, it was a year of where work have not been very smooth for me. Drastic changes at my workplace with a few MDs getting laid off and the several changes in my direct reporting was definitely uncomfortable. Ultimately, I have come to accept the fact that I have been demoted. It was a hard fact for me to accept, especially so for all the contribution I have made for the organization. Though I have come to terms with it, I can't say that I am extremely happy about it.

I really look forward to a good 2013.

Had the new wardrobe done, HiFi system is all nice and cool, and the car with a new paint job and brakes(to be install tmr). I can really feel a good year coming, just short of the final change and I sure hope it will come soon.

It will be a good 2013. I truly believe that it will be.

2013

It have been a while since my last post and I almost forgotten that I actually have this post u tip my friend reminded me about it.

Think I will probably start it again and probably starting with some goals I have gotten from the goal setting exercise by my boss this morning.

Let's do it.
