New House + TV

New house is almost ready. The phone is ready, internet is ready, most of the furnitures are in place, and yep, the TV is installed this evening as well.

Although the TV is here, but I am not exactly as thrilled at the moment because I cannot use the TV just yet, because the cable guy won’t come until tomorrow night. I have no CD/DVD/HD/BD player of any kind therefore I cannot really test it at all, except just sitting with a blank display.

However, the TV looks gorgeous on its own, the very excellent BenQ SH3741. I would love to get a Sony PS3 to go with it so I can watch full HD BD movies. Maybe that will be the next item in my endless long shopping list.

I was right, I do love the TV more than the house, and I think I will love it even more tomorrow night when I can actually use it.

New Toy

Well, not mine really, but it is a production unit for testing. Hopefully it can become mine for good, because after using it, I can never, ever, go back to the old crappy 15″ Dell I had been using for the last two and a half year.

Anyway, it is a new LCD monitor I get to use at work. It is one of recently released monitors, the BenQ FP93GW Senseye+photo. It is a 16:10 wide screen, slim bezel design, ultra-fast 5ms response time, contrast ratio of 700:1 and our exclusive Senseye+photo technology for consistent color reproduction.

What I like about best is the slim bezel design, only a mere 12mm, and it looks absolutely gorgeous when you have a full screen wallpaper filling up the 1440 x 900 display. Too bad I cannot try any DVDs or at work.

I like the logo too. Sweet.

Show Support

Well, at least I have shown mine anyway.

BenQ is in a lot of shit recently, and the employees are showing support by leaving your signature on one of the five “Support BenQ” boards.


Support BenQ

I do, personally, like BenQ, so here is mine.

At 9:10pm

I was still in office.

So quiet, so very quiet. I used this time to take two snaps of the empty 12th floor.

Last week I went home at 10:00pm, I hope it will not happen again this week.

Man, Got Arrested

Not me, but our company’s CFO.

Apparently seven people got retained initially, and six was later released on bail.

I wonder who paid for the bail money?

BenQ Making Headlines Again

For alleged insider trading…

Apparently Taiwan Prosecutors came and raided the company headquarters in Taoyuan and Taipei, and took several senior finance executives away for interrogation.

How funny, and this afternoon I was thinking, hey, where did our finance head go?

I like the word, raid. It sound cool, but I wouldn’t want anything to do with ‘raid’ happening to me though.

The bad news is, it seems our company’s turmoil run is not going to end anytime soon, and I believe BenQ shares will close at around NT13.00 tomorrow.

Regardless what other people say, I still trust Bloomberg.com as my only reliable news source.

I did take a picture of the different TV station crews parked outside the company Taipei headquarter though. I took it when I was just off work heading home. It was dark, and via a shitty phone camera, below is the result of the shot, but you might just be able to make out the TVBS logo from the back of the TV Van.

Don’t know why, for some reason the whole situation reminds me of the Enron Scandal.

For Three Years In A Row

I got nothing.

Yep, at the company annual appreciation dinner, I again walked away with nothing. This is the third consecutive year I did not get anything, not even a crappy $1,000 coupon for me to do some shopping spree at Sogo department store.

The dinner was okay, the same food with a lot of noise and a lot of beer. Again, the management people are up on the stage telling everyone now different this year is going to be and how successful we will be in the future, and then the same disappointing closing, walking away with nothing.

I guess I shouldn’t be too depressed. I did go up on stage for BenQ Singapore Projector Team of the Year. I did not actually win the award, I was just on stage to fill up some room.

As a closing, this is the kind of face I make when I was in my own state of mind.
