Americanz Idol

Alright folks, it's American's idol's time here in Singapore. Smashing start by this "jackizee"? Quite cool. As usually, Simon is such a COWell. He's actually surprised that he agreed with the other 2 folks.

We have guests today. My sis and her friend from Italy. She's getting married on Friday, my sis that is, and she's bunking with us for the next 2 nights. We got 2 single-size mattresses and got some bed sheets and covers from my in-laws.

Work was ok today. No big fires to fight. Had a 1-2hr talk with a staff, selling a vision that I hope she and the rest will buy and discussing on some projects and KPIs. It's a matter of providing the right environment for all these guys to work to their potential. Matter of finding what motivates them. Not an easy feat cos it's so easy to say "I can do it better". The fact of the matter is that one people can only do so much; think what a team can do! Think what a motivated team can do!! Like they say, the whole is better than the sum of the individuals. Anyway, still deciding on filling the 1-2 headcount we have. Have good candidates. Still deciding but probably will decide by tomorrow. And our performance review is due soon. That's another exciting but difficult exercise.

Had lunch with the IT guys from Synergy. 4 of us tucked in some "vegetarian" food. It's quite amazing that they can "re-create" the taste of chicken using some dunno what glutinous flour? Anyway, tis alright. Had a good lunch.

Was raining the whole day though. That was a bummer. A few people getting sick of late. Must be the weather. Ended at around 7:20pm as we were to give my sis a ride from the bridal shop (with all the barang barang). Turns out that the dress requires some touching up and they were running late. So we left first. Wifie ate a MacSpicy as she was hungry. I ate at home, some roast beef with mayo on toasted bread, some salads, and some dunno what gravy-type-soup-beans??

Well, now going to do my daily stuff :)
