Everyone Connects?

Thanks to the Tweet conversation between @joycescapade and @zhiQ, I came across a website (click the link here) which surprised me with its contents. Thought my internet was interrupted when the pixelated images appeared. And the images are meant to be pixelated - it's a teaser. A promotional gimmick of a band who sing the song, "Through My Window" (the song is played in the website too).

Honestly, they are quite good. The style reminded me of Greenday and yes, A-A-R as well. Now, given this promotional initiative of a new band, "Everyone Connects is about getting people to communicate & collaborate because when everyone’s connected, anything is possible" at the footer of the page seems (agree with ZhiQ) out of place. Doesn't sound like lyrics though...

Track it via Twitter hashtag: #ThroughMyWindow

How Much Is Your Website Worth?

Courtesy of Whose (My_Swamp), I managed to come across a website where it measures the value of a website.

Go to BizInformation.org, and type your website URL at the designated column.

As soon as you pressed enter, the website valuation will appear with other vital stats (not sure how accurate it is).

And I was surprise to find my blog site worth $2804.90. It's up for grab, anyone wants to bid?

Hello....

No response. :P

Admiring Pewter

When KJ was jumping with excitement on one fine day after knowing he has bagged the 2nd prize for the Take a 'Giant Mug Shot' Photo Contest, all of us in TalentEDge were invited to the Giant Tankard Homecoming Party to witness him receiving his prize, an Olympus camera from the organiser, Royal Selangor Pewter.

Honestly I have passed by the Royal Selangor gallery countless times in the past, but last weekend was the first time I stepped foot inside the visitor centre. Didn't know it looks great and spacious with rich historical facts and items inside.

Some of the currency and money used during the old days. Only seen in Sejarah textbooks till that very Saturday. Notice the animal currencies in the forms of crocodile, elephant (short nose but long tail) and turtle. And just found out that the the coins can be plugged out from the money tree on the right (as seen on BSN logo).

More animal currencies from the 19th Century. The value of the currencies are actually determined by their weights. So I wonder, how heavy must the currency be to buy a cow...chicken...(Yes, KJ. Chickens to be rear and eaten. Not something else!)

Some of the old tools and equipments used by the founder. Noticed the old wooden abacus on the left, followed by the old catalogues, account books (Yes with old ink and numbers of sales recorded) and old ledgers.

KJ with a "keluarga diraja" costume in yellow, matched with Catherine's similar costume. He was so delighted to be in that costume for the fact as mentioned. Lol.

Who says Catherine can't get rough? Ladies at work! Don't be fooled by the picture. It is actually a very delicate process at work where gentle but firm knocks are required to form the same size and horizontally aligned spots around the cup without gaps. Now, that's what I call challenge!

Guess for which client Royal Selangor produces the trophy to? It's actually one of the products where "work in progress".

And yes, all pictures are taken with my 3-year-old 3.2MP Sony Ericsson K-800 .

That's not all. After the tour we had good tarts and pies with delicious sausages to satisfy our taste buds. Oh yeah, we had fun in their games too, where I must say I my vision and conscious was briefly disturbed after the drinking game (where Heineken was used! And yes, the Royal Selangor Party served alcohol).

There are actually more great and better pictures taken from KJ's camera so stay tuned.

Signing off.

When Work Has Its Meaning

When one has different priorities, we often look for extraordinary avenue to grow towards our dreams. What life is if it is just a repetition of doing things we do not enjoy doing? Recently I came across a write-up, Ya Startups, Even Boring Ones, which rang a bell to me in understanding some of the reasons why we have the dedicated teammates we have today.

Their presence has really bring great changes and impact to the company as a whole and would definitely. They are indeed the catalyst of inspirational legacy in the making.

Here I salute honourably to all the teammates, partners, affiliates and other extraordinary individuals who have been part of who have made the TalentEDge team a reality.
