//* Dear Diary... *//

 

I had a pretty good time Friday afternoon at the off-site meeting at East Coast Pasta Fresca. Every department took turns to talk about our goals and the inhibitors to achieving those goals. There were open discussions of problems faced by each department while working with other departments. It was probably not so much that we need to find solutions. But rather that we were able to improve mutual understanding of perspectives that was really beneficial. Of course, we had a lot of food and drinks. The sea view was fantastic and the afternoon breeze, too.

Later, I went to Rachel's place at Bendemeer for dinner. Steve, Ivy, Collin and Rose were already there. Imelda arrived a little while after me. I like the amount of space she has in her flat. It feels so spacious. After finishing dinner, we just sat at her sofa and watched Channel U. It was so relaxing. We took some champagne and chit-chat. I think I am very fortunate to have this group of friends. It is a nice feeling to be able to meet up once in a while and share happenings and feelings. Thank you, my friends!

I am now making preparations for the move to exsyn.com according to instructions at Blogger FAQ. I have also setup a new email address - sbkoh at exsyn.com. Please use it. ;)))

It was an eventful enough day. My company has just turned in our first profitable quarter for almost 2 years. So it was smiles all round when the CEO addressed us in the morning. Great way to start the day! Lunch was also special in a way - it was taken with Andrea, Benny and Hasnia, sitting at the benches outside Fitness Network, with people passing us by every minute! Benny invited me to go for a group night-hiking at MacRitchie next week. I think I will have fun. :)) In the afternoon, Jon's team finally deployed the programs for EK project. We have to - the service goes live tomorrow. I gave each of them 3 days' off each. They have worked overnight on the last weekend to meet the deadline. So they deserve it.

Tomorrow, there's an off-site chill-out with HODs at East Coast in the afternoon. Dress code is T-shirt and shorts and there will be beer. I think I will wear bermudas and bring my DC along. Dinner will be at Rachel's place at her invitation. There will be beer, wine and Jack Daniel's. Not sure if we are going to cheong after dinner. By then, I could be too drunk already!

Looks like I will probably only be able to work on exsyn.com from Saturday.

//* It's exsyn.com *//

Yes, this is going to move to exsyn.com. :) I'm gonna apply for this domain in the next few days. Is it a cool name or what? Thanks to Charmane for helping me think of this name!
