Angels and Devils

Had this conversation with John Lee yesterday. He was adamant that all guys look at boobys before anything else … wahahahaha so much for being honest u know… the topic kinda rubbed it off a little more and we started discussing the kinda ladies we’re into. I told him that my spectrum is like the 2 polar sides (angel and devil) that we always see on TV – the 2 limits of an argument.

The Devil – Wu Shumin (吴淑敏)

She’s a Taiwanese hokkein singer. Can’t remember where I first saw her, but yeah she is the forbidden fruit man… the kinda lady that men will die for… but the catch is she will never be the ideal wife material. For “itchy men” only … hahahaha

The Angel – Patty Hou (侯佩岑)

My all time favourite hey… it’s really her smiles and her chuckles during laughter. This aura and demeanor that makes her a potential someone who can have a conversation with, and be with long term u know… the kinda intelligent, yet not too intelligent kinda gf/wife.

Oh… and recently I kinda find Xu Jing Lei (徐静蕾; yesh…an ah tiong) hot too. I like her “Du LaLa” character in her new movie with Stanley (黄立行).

There you go - my Angel and Devil !

Whats yours ?

PS: Btw… as u can see… boobys are really not one of my considerations… maybe a pair of bonuses at most… tsk tsk

Lebron James - Where will he end up ?

Again, as i have said all along, I am not a Lebron fan. But taking all these personal thingy aside, I have to admit that he is the holy grail in NBA ... the one player that can change the whole dynamics of any team. He's a combination of atheletism, strength and skills for god sake !

So y did Cavs lose the series with Celtics then ? I dun really know and I freaking dun care ! The point is he might never win anything with the Cavs at all, given that this year is his best shot. So, as much as I am not a fan, hell yeah I would love him to be in a Bulls' uniform next season. His chances of leaving just ups more and more as the Cavs suck u know... hahahaha And let's put it these way, Chicago's the best alternative place to him now (fanbase, money, colleagues, tradition, etc.) when compared to the other competitors vying for his signature.

Just look at a team like this:

PG - Rose

SG - Hinrich

SF - Lebron

PF - Amare or Bosh

C - Noah

This team is so going to rock the whole league for years man !!!

Let's all keep our fingers crossed !

Go Bulls !!!

Plans for the next Half of the year.....

The sales courses I embarked upon this week has been more of a pleasant surprise to me. Instead of teaching us how to sell and more sales BS (hahaha), we were coached on the importance of planning and self preparation before the sales calls.

And actually, most of us has been doing those planning ahead of time directly or indirectly in our daily work. Just that, we hadnt really sit down and reinforce some of these ideas to fully utilise them. And the course also got me thinking a little about where I am with Tuboscope and where I am headed to.

For the past 10 months, I think I have learnt a lot - Inventory management, HR management, Operations, Sales prep and all the different projects that I have taken up. However, I tink I could have taken in more knowledge about the work... the technical specifications and the intricities of inspections, coatings and hardbanding. Dont get me wrong, i have been trying to absorb everything... but that's the problem - I ended with limited output with maximum input. I was kinda like dwelling into my own mess (digging my own grave) becos I cant seem to focus on one thing at a time.

The Inventory problem sure didnt help my cause; I was recalled to take up the project again. Then again, it aint an excuse I should be taking afterall. I am solely responsible for my own development with the organisation and it pisses me off that I had somewhat deviated from my original plans.

So, I have decided, the next half of the year will be of intensive hands-on work in the yard. To really go and see, feel and do what I should be selling eventually. At the same time, it might be harder to grab hold of me during this period too.

So peeps, bear with it a little yeah.... like my boss said:

"You gotta do what you gotta do..."

I just hope all of this will turn out well for me ...


=)

Bunch of @#$^#$&$%*

I hate to be an a$$hole or an MCP, but sometimes a group of unmotivated bunch of ladies would just gossip gossip and GOSSIP !!!


Especially when they are spreading the incorrect things.... they dun even know the whole story to begin with ... for FARKS SAKE !!!

Well, I guess when people go so low... they remain low....


=)


PS: Kelson is right, I forgive but I NEVER forget ! Hahahaha

Strength

"当你无助的时候，他给了你勇气。 但他需要你的时候，你何尝给他勇气？"

Something I garner from watching some show... that we humans are ultimately selfish beings. Most of the time, we care more about ourselves and forget about others.

Conversely, the person that you are willing to give your strength to is the person who really means something... so have I found someone like that ?

I sure do - My family and my friends. So I am missing just one special person...

Who ?

Rafa Benitez and Liverpool

Haha I must declare that I am a Man Utd Fan, period. So I am disappointed that Chelsea beat Liverpool to take a step closer to the BPL. Unless Chelski really screw up their last 2 matches, which I highly doubt, we have no chance at all.

Then again, my disappointment in Liverpool goes beyond the results of this game. Liverpool had a Euro game 2 days ago prior to this showdown with Chelsea. So, like I was telling Kelson, if I were Benitez, I would have gone for a draw by packing my midfield and defense, given that there is such a small chance that they were going to steal the game. So I really think Benitez has gradually but surely failed the Liverpool fans with his tactics. At the end of the day, I believe he doesn’t understand the BPL game at all.

Before you Liverpool fans start taking the knives outta the drawers, I feel that Liverpool are a good squad with talents players; just the wrong mix of players. Continental players need a season or two at least to get accustomed to the style of play in BPL; but if there is always an influx of continental players every offseason, how’s the team going to ever gel ? Having one less competent team to challenge the title surely makes BPL less exciting doesn’t it ?

So Benitez, for the sake of Liverpool and BPL, please leave for Juventus !! lolz

Bulls Season Review - Against All Odds

The offseason started a little sooner for the Bulls; but nonetheless, it probably came later than expected given that we were not anticipated to be part of the Playoffs series to begin with…As I have mentioned on an earlier post, this season has been a roller-coaster one. Injuries to the key players culminated into a 9-game losing streak, a continue disparity in vision between Vinny Del Negro (coach) and the management which escalated into a confrontation between John Paxson and VDN, not to mention the ever present debate about not resigning Ben Gordon last offseason, and the mid season trade that offset chemistry a little for sure. All this is compounded to the pressure of the possibility that the season could be a failure.

But against all odds, we barely made the 8th seed in the East. Despite losing to King James and the Cavaliers 4-1 in the series, I thought we gave a good fight and showed tremendous tenacity – a trait that has been with the team ever since they started playing like one. As I have mentioned earlier on, it has been a feat to survive the season like in this fashion.

New Coach – The next level

As much as I like VDN, he is probably not the ideal person to bring the team to the next level. Having said that, he’s a great coach and he has demonstrated tremendous potential to becoming one given that he has maintained an 82-82 record with the current young pool of players. We probably need someone who has more experience and pedigree in the league to attract the marquee free agent(s). It's a shame that he is about to get fired, but life goes on... oh well...

SG – 2nd / 3rd offensive option


So in this offseason, we should really target an All-Star like SG player that doesn’t take the plays away from Derrick Rose. In my personal opinion, only Joe Johnson (Atlanta Hawks) and Anthony Morrow (Golden State Warriors) comes to mind. And yes we should trade Deng when his value is the highest now. Or even trade the 17th pick if we have to….

PF – Post up offense


Another player that we should target is probably the PF spot. As much as people are gunning for Chris Bosh (Toronto Raptors), I am of the inclination that we should get Amare Staudamire (Phoenix) or Al Jefferson (Minnesota) instead. Something I learnt from management that one might not like it, but there is a need for any organization to attain human resources of different skill sets so that the organization is robust against adversities. Same applies here I guess, I believe Amare / Al brings more of a different skill set (Post-up, offensive awareness) to what Chris brings (Defense, Shooting, Leadership). For all Chris’ talents, we have a poor man in Taj Gibson.

Signing / Resigning Veterans


Players like Brad Miller should be resigned even when they are going to play less next season. The wealth of experience and back-up capabilities makes them essential for any Playoff-bound teams. We should also target players like Ray Allen (G/F), Mike Miller (G/F), Jason Kapono (G/F) or even Steve Blake (G) depending on who we trade between Kirk and Deng.

Continual development of Taj, JJ and Asik

Add bulk to JJ and Taj while getting Asik from Turkey would leave the front courts set for years. But I do think we need to trade one of the trios. Like they always say, too many cooks spoil the broth.

This offseason is gonna be so interesting…
Go Bulls !!
