Introducing the brass family...
Would you be able to name each of these instruments?
I'm searching for the musical scores for the Christian song, "Little Drummer Boy" for my mom's choir and came across this musical score for a brass ensemble... then I realised I only know what's a trumpet... and wonder what's a trombone, tuba or horn?
So I googled it up...
I think some people (a certain majority Chinese clan from S'wak) are just born unfriendly!
Today, right after my happy lunch break, I got a call from a certain managing director of a company... the first few things he said on the phone was, "Why do you take so long *#$&#*&$*#$...". As usual it's an unhappy bank customer who is blaming the firm so the late release of the loan.
Fact is, we got our client's instructions in April but the customer only managed to send us the signed documents in August!
And I realised the Sale and Purchase Agreement signed for the acquisition of a piece of property to be charged to the bank is not properly signed! No common seal and not signed by directors at all!
When I asked who were their solicitors the customer gave me a name that I can't find from the SLA directory. When I enquired again, I was told they don't have any lawyer!
Fujifilm's Super CCD EXR Sensor... EXCITING!
Fujfilm’s ultimate aim is to “produce a sensor that works as close to that of the human eye as possible.”
Looking forward to this new tech compact digital camera...
Uh huuuuuh! 
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Guess how much?
Compared to a Panasonic LX3
And to a Fujifilm S602Z (Semi Pro) 
They look very similar don't you think?
That's why if (IF okay) I get myself an LX3, I will definitely opt for the silver one, the black one is just too PRO-looking!
All I want is a simple point and shoot blogger's camera!
The defendant was accused of assault with a firearm and the robbery of two chickens and six eggs. Despite the testimony of four witnesses, the discovery of hundreds of feathers in his house, without speaking of a stew pot full of chicken bones and an old frying pan with leftovers of an omelette, the famous lawyer Mario Puzotti, at the end of an eloquent defence, managed to persuade the jury of his client’s innocence and to convince them that the true guilty one was society. The accused was freed ipso facto and, under thundering applause and cries from the public of “encore, encore” the talented lawyer was obliged to return several times to bow to his frenzied audience.
Wondering why I post this nonsensical story about a make-believe lawyer? It's because this little statue is the "latest recruit" to the firm! One of the senior partners bought it from his Aussie trip...
On Mario's desk, there is a pistol... and I wonder what case he was arguing there and why he held out his palm like that... so I googled him up and found the little story above... the story doesn't tell much, and surely doesn't answer my doubts about this guy!
Mario is now facing the firm's main entrance... with his head high up and both eyes shut... and his palm held out (for his unpaid legal fees?)...
Practice in KK is getting mundane...
day in day out same thing...
no excitement... no sense of achievement!
I'm defeated...
Time for this "rolling stone" to turn!
Where to go, what to do next?
I have no idea...
There is this very interesting opening in Singapore:
foreign lawyer.
I think I should apply... most attractive fact about this position is that as a foreign lawyer, I am "not allowed" to appear in the Singapore courts... (that's just what I don't want to do, ie court appearance!)
The question is, am I ready to leave Sabah again...
practising in KK has really been a bliss (minus the penguin suit days)... although Singapore was part of my three step dream to Japan... since I'm back to the laid back Sabah, I really wonder if I would still be able to "endure" city life...
But at the end, I guess, it comes down to the question, whether I'm still willing to change... and whether there is still space there in Singapore that would allow me to "occupy" (oh, this sentence sounds so Chinese hor?)...
Nevermind me... I guess I don't even know what I'm writting here...
Sometimes the snow comes down in June... Sometimes the sun goes round the moon... I see the passion in your eyes... Sometimes it's all a big surprise... 'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish, you'd tell me this was love... It's not the way I hoped or how I planned, but somehow it's enough... And now we're standing face to face... Isn't this world a crazy place... Just when I thought our chance had passed... You go and safe the best for last... All of the nights you came to me... Some silly girl has set you free... You wondered how you'd make it through... I wondered what's wrong with you... 'Cos how you could you give your love to someone else, and share your dreams with me... Sometimes the very thing you're looking for, is the one thing you can't see... But now we're standing face to face... Isn't this world a crazy place... Just when I thought our chance had passed... You go and save the best for last... ladada...ladada... Sometimes the very thing you're looking for, is the one thing you can't see... Sometimes the snow comes down in June... Sometimes the sun goes around the moon...Just when I thought our chance has passed... You go and save the best for last... You went and saved the best for last...
The song suddenly start to sing itself in my head...
I really like this song... the lyrics flows with the melody, and its just so natural... and well sang by the singer Vanessa Williams!
