Yesterday, 21 December 2007, my office got its Christmas tree assembled. This is going to be the first time our office going to put a Christmas tree. Normally only the other sections will put theirs.

Other said we a late already… but who cares right… the most important is we got it up before Christmas… 🙂

  
Seniah & Rusiah assembled the tree then put on the decorations…

  
Guys do the electrical part… me & Darius do the lighthing…

  
Tested the light… the final setting 😀

Organization with branch offices which have server at their branch will put their system and network administrators a hard time managing servers.  When IT installations such as server encounter a problem, it is not easy to perform troubleshooting without going to the site.

But with today’s technology like the Uplogix Envoy Management Station (EMS), IT administrators are not necessary to be on site to perform troubleshooting. Uplogix Envoy centralizes point of control and delivers real-time monitoring and management capabilities, offering a unified view of what’s occurring in the distributed infrastructure. Network administrators can monitor connectivity, fix problems, automate maintenance tasks, and log changes for the entire network from one location. To ensure security, Uplogix Envoy employs the strongest security, encryption, and authentication standards for communications between the sites.

On thursday, before we entered Fuji Car Accessories, we stop by at aquarium shop next to it. I’m so interested with one of the aquarium… the price is RM588… I plan to get one soon 🙂

Look at this arowana… enjoying playing with the water spray…
 
 

First we went to one which is a block away from where we had our breakfast. Then we proceeded to Lintas Square. We stroll at 3 car accessories shops there… but nothing new… boring… then decided to go to Putatan. Along the way, we stop at another shop which is on the other side of Lido.

While there, I saw the tiny car… I saw it many times on the road but never closed to it… not bad… good for crusing around doing nothing I guess.
 
But look at the price… RM90K… that’s about USD$25K

Then we proceeded to Putatan… to Fuji Car Accessories. I guess this is the biggest car accessories in town at the moment.
  
  

Today no work… it’s public holiday today. I woke up around 6.30am… then continued sleeping until a friend called around 11.00am for breakfast and to go some places. I get ready and went to pick him.

We had our breakfast at Taman Chantek near Lido. I had my favorite Kon Low Mee with pork meat… then added another bowl of noodle… one bowl is not enough.

After breakfast we went to some car accessories shops… well, just to update our self with what available in the market now…

Dim-Sum containers.
 

As part of my ‘come back’… I’ve updated 5 of my old postings. Someone requested to add some write-ups into it. And I find the write-ups and links are useful for my blog…

First, thank you very much to everyone who have visited my blog and to all who have left messages. I was away for another workshop since 10 to 13 December 2007. That was just a couple of weeks after our annual workshop at Tuaran Beach Resort on the 28 November to 1 December 2007.

This time, the workshop was at Tyang Dynasty Hotel, Kota Kinabalu. The best part, my room was at 10th floor facing the flyover. I have some great pictures to show later… 😀

Do defense criminal firms need a blog? Personally I think yes. Why? Today, blog is the most powerful tools to spread information to the public. To further support that, visit this blog, Los Angeles Criminal Defense Blog | California Criminal Attorneys Law Blog. The blog’s author is lawyer Dmitry Gorin who is a Professor at UCLA and Pepperdine Law School, and a frequent commentary on Court TV.  The blog provides a lot of useful information about Criminal Law & Criminal Proceedings in the Los Angeles, California area. It blog and discuss issues such as California criminal law, strategies in the defense of state and federal crimes and analysis of celebrity prosecution.

On the night of 28 November 2007, the night before our annual workshop, at around 11pm, we were instructed by the resort management to shift our vehicles to a higher ground. Gosh… are we going to be hit by tsunami? We got panic a bit when the news broke… Actually, a week before, the resort was flooded with sea water. They said, on that day, the waves were so high until the sea waters spills into the resort and flooded it for about 2 feet of sea water. Their swimming pool water is replaced with sea water… so much sand inside the pool.

Luckily, nothing bad happened that night. The waves was not so high, only a bit of sea water splashed into the resort ground and but it manage to go back to the sea through the drain.

The photos below shows the waves hitting the ‘sea wall’. In normal day, the ‘wall’ is more than 7 feets high… but here, it shows the sea level is almost as high as the resort ground.
