2 weeks into my new job

well, this is the question most people would ask when you jump over to a new company, how's your job?

All i could say is that i got to hit the ground running on the first day. Attended my first sales meeting aat 10am when i stepped into my new office. Did not have the luxury of even build up the relationship with my chair, i had to have fun in the meeting room. After sales meeting, two different principle came n has their product briefing, looking that i did not have my laptop as it has not been delivered, it fit the day's schedule nicely.

Then on the 2nd day, my boss is urging me to call my clients that is on the list that he gave me. But i did not manage to as i did not have the confident yet to setup any appointment for such meet up yet. So i dig into those product sheets and started to do my reading. That went on for a few days where i picked up my bread and butter.

With my laptop coming along later on, which is a Dell studio 14.1" lappie, well this little bugger is packed with performance as it comes with a free upgrade to 3 gig of RAM. Was thinking of my boss would give me a Dell mini, that din happen..muahahahaha. They got me a black unit, which they lied saying mine is going to be a pink one, i am okay with pink actually, a bit macho also right having a pink lappie..lmao. (i lied, phew it is black)

2nd week was a packed schedule due to the vendor of the product (Imperva)that i am incharge with, came down from SG to provide Technical Training and Sales training. Alvin is APEC sales director, which me and Sam has made plans for this visit for 3 days to visit. Well, anyone of you guys would have guess what i have been doing then. Despide all the tiring trip driving around in KL and PJ, i had a great time learning and sharing with Alvin with the product, his experience and his teaching.

2 weeks has passed and i'm more clear of my focus on the job. I might use another week to pick up the other product that i'm incharge with. Soon, i'll be out hunting.

Need loads of leads, will come cold calling all of ya. :p

what i got during valentines...

well, you have guessed it right, the Braun Buffel Leather Wallet which cost more than i could ask for. Thank you babe for this wonderful gift, i am using it right now, although my gift does not cost as much, but it is from the bottom of my heart. And sorry for bursting you bubble of surprising me and brought me to the counter and chose it.

Loving you even more everyday! muaks.

now it's complete

well, some of you might know that i bought a set of 5.1 THX surround PC speakers a year back, it's a logitech z-680 (full review here). Well, what bugs me the most is that it comes with 5 satellite speakers, front left and right, back left and right and a center speaker. A big arse sub woofer that can blow ur house down and a control pod, that sits nicely on the floor as a little table top.



Like all 5.1 speaker set, the two back left and right speakers should be at the back, as they are suppose to be, that's why ever since i've purchased this set of speakers (got it 2nd hand from a lyn member @ RM650) i have been searching high and low for a stand. And finally, before christmas, a seller pops up wanting to sell his ikea gaje speaker stand which is highly sources in the market by some amateur users. Well, the seller has 2 pairs, and i only needed a pair, in the process of getting the deal i asked to take both n then worry about the left over pair later, which it didn't took me long to get a seller for it, my fren Johnny. :)

Happy as could be, i tried it out the instance i got my hand on it, trying to fit my rear speakers onto the stand, due to the reason that the way that it is holding the speaker uses velcro's, but the previous user has already used up the velcro, leaving me thinking of a way to afix my speaker onto the stand as the bottom of the speaker is a litte rounded bulged. And with the 3m velcro that i had on me didn't really work as i thought it would. A slight earthquake will tumble my speakers falling 2 feet to the ground, something that i can't risk. (the pic below is showing half the actual high)



As i was looking into material that i could afford n save me time and fuss to get it down with, i came up with using arcylic.

Woke up early one saturday morning and made my way to Jalan Pasar to this famouse acrylic shop where all lyn members recommended. Sorry that i din take a pic of the shop cause it was a pretty hot morning and i wish to go in fast and run the hell out of there in a jifty. Ordered a 200mm*100cm*10mm acrylic. Took them 10 min to get it cut it and off i go happily.

After that, i went back to my office the following after measuring the holes that i need to drill. A lesson that i learn drilling acrylic is, slow and steady, don't rush on it, cause it will break if too much pressure is put upon it. And this is the modification that i have done with some added bolt and nuts.





and now it's complete :)
