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.

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.

The Change
Many years past, I am
now happily married (maybe), stay in a nice flat, drives a small car and is holding
a pretty alright job for the moment.
What is the change?
I no longer have to
admire that headphones or amps that I want, no longer starve myself so that I can
save some money here and there, no longer ride the bike in the rain just to a
couple of dollars to help each day passed by.
The fact is I can get
anything I fancy (of cost not the ridiculously priced ones), I get to dine
where I want, no longer soaked in the rain to make a couple of dollars, and I
have a room to myself for my Hifi. Life is good I must say.
Lots of things have
change. I felt like a big man now, I am in fact coming to 30 years old this
year. I felt like I could give my wife all that she needs and wants, but is
that really what she wanted.
This is not going to be a happy post!
We just had a fight!
I believe that there
is a place for everything and everything has a place.
She believes that
everything can be everywhere and everywhere is for anything. (Read: disorganized)
Because of these
differences, we tried to change each other. As a result, we constantly remember
what the other person say and use it to hurt where it hurt the most, during fights,
gossips. We are just inducing it softly but surely in everything we do and say.
Argument no longer made sense and quarrels are just about what quoting what the
other person said at the wrong time.
Life can be a little frustrating
but still better than before.
I wish I could always
be hugging and kissing her and not have all these fights that proves nothing. Nothing
at all!
Was going through
some photos this afternoon as I was sick and home bound, and I can feel this
warmth, reminiscing those memories that we shared.
I will try to let her
win a little, maybe.
If you are reading
this, my unreasonable wife, I love you.
Got to grab a quick
shower before hitting bed, still a long day for tomorrow.
Cheers!
