TGIT

June 21, 2007

Dear Bloggy

I finally got the converter so now I can charge up my phone battery. I haven't been able to buy it in the last 2 days as I have to go to the welcome dinner and engineers mixer at night. Oh but did I tell you that the food was good? ;).....

Today is TGIT. I think Marshall and I put up a pretty good performance today. ;) Now that the company thought that I can really do Salsa. Not too bad a misunderstanding for me, isn't it? ;) Morden's Tawianse trick is quite impressive too! I also got a chance to talk to our China president Dr. Kai Fu Lee (www.kaifulee.com) and he said our performance is one of the best he has ever seen here. ;)

I have only started here for a few days but I notice I have put on quite a bit of weight (especially on my belly) already. Free lunch may not be such a great thing afterall in contrast to the common belief.. So I went to gym today. The gym is actually better than the one in the IBM Tornoto lab. Not only it is bigger, but most important of all it has less people. I went there at 7ish and there were only 3 people including me. Met Jacky there who is working for AdSense direct and he told me there are a group of people practicing Salsa every Tue. I really want to pick it up again so I will go join them. ;)

Tomorrow my team is going for an "off-site meeting" :
