Turkey?

Interesting, just like the start of this year, I will be sent off to another country right after new year.

I went to Vietnam on the 3rd of January this year.

This time I will be in Turkey on the 6th of January.

Wow, Turkey, sounds like a fun place? Well, yes and no. Just yesterday a letter bomb exploded in the central of Istanbul, killing one.

I will be in Istanbul too.

I will bring my DSLR with me this time, just in case I get to visit some interesting historic places like some of the famous mosques, museums, castles, churches or towers. Maybe the ruins of Troy or the Trojan Horse too!

Anyway, anything is good, just don’t give me another letter bomb.

New Laptop!

Well, not mine, but a sample unit.

I am kind of surprised, as this is the first time I get a sample laptop to take home and play around with. I just hope they forget so I can keep it forever.

Anyway, it’s a BenQ Q41.

Design is rather ordinary, but the main feature is not the inside, but the outside…
Joybook Q41

Oh, what is this? A second screen on the outside? It is actually called Windows Sideshow. Personally, I find this more of a gimmick than something that is actually useful. Again, I have to test it out to find out more.
Joybook Q41

This is only the third laptop in the whole world to have this feature, so as you can guess how unpopular this Sideshow feature has to offer.

Anyway, I just hope they forget so I get to keep this forever…

Playing Golf

Everybody’s Golf.

I got awfully bored the other day and I went to buy this game, Everybody’s Golf. I actully already own this game on PSP and I thought the gmae was pretty fun and good for wasting time, so I got myself the PS3 version.

The game turns out to be really easy, too easy in fact. I normally beat my opponents by an average of 10 under so I do hope the game gets a bit more challenging otherwise I am likely to sell the game by the weekend.

Nothing New

I have been real busy, at work, as usual. Nothing new.

Drank a lot last night and came back home at twelve.

I had mega bad sleep and still got up and went to work.

I just arrived back home again almost two hours ago.

Right now is 12:10am.

I need to wake up in five hours time and jet off to Philippines.

Yah well, nothing new, work is still work.

Employee Stock Option

Got my employee stock option today, and it turned out to be a real surprise.

I got an option for 50 Qisda stocks with share price at NTD 32.80, which can be exercised two years later.

Last year I got an option for 20 stocks with a price around NTD 28.50 (can be exercised next year) and I thought that was a lot! This year they think I worth 50 stock options? My God, I am very happy.

Then again, I will only be REALLY happy if by the time I can exercise them and the share price has gone way up up up high.

Time for calculations…

For every NT 1.00 increase in share price, that is NT 1,000 per stock.

Thus, when I exercise 70 stocks two years later, with a 10.00 increase from 32.80, I get at least NTD 700k (not including the difference from NTD 28.50).

A 20.00 increase means at least 1.4 mil, a 30.00 increase means at least 2.1 mil, an so on.

Say two years later the share price is at least NTD 60.00, then I can buy an Audi A4 Avant 2.0T, in cash.

Then again, I am being over optimistic. What if the share price dropped by then? My options would be more than useless.

I have faith in Qisda, which I think they will do well. So what does this mean for me?

It means I cannot leave this company in the next two years.

Man catches cheating wife with Wii

Another rather funny news…from The Inquirer

TOP OF THE LIST of bizarre ways to find out about your partner’s indiscretions has to be through your Nintendo Wii console, but that’s what seems to have happened to a US Iraq veteran.
Returning home from a tour of duty, Tony confronted his wife about rumours she had been seeing another man – gossip she furiously denied. But playing on his Wii, Tony discovered an in-game character designed to look like his wife’s alleged lover – and a closer examination of Wii Calendar, which logs gaming activity on the console, showed that the two had played together many nights whilst he was in Iraq.
Tony has now filed for divorce but the incident begs the question – what kind of illicit lover creates a character in his own likeness on his lover’s partner’s games console, then leaves it around for hubby to find? A stupid one, we suspect.
