CII is now Consumer System Products

Two days after Canon BIS bought dinner, it was CIIs turn.

What was written on the backdrop said Consumer System Products (not CII). I can only guess the name of this Division has changed. Possibly the return of Simon Wong, the prodigal son, to take charge of the Camera business necessitated a split of divisions between the Camera and Printer areas.

Of course, it would all be easier if we have the Camera Division, the Printer Division, the Copier/Fax Division, the Service Division, Personnel Division, Accounts Division et al. They will all be easily understood, and appropriately descriptive, but no. These simplistic names won't be cool. And being not cool won't do, right?

I was told to be in Ti Chen Restaurant Saujana at 12.00pm. However lunch started at 1.00 with many late arrivals. I thought the late arrivals were not being considerate at all.














Edmund Liew was again the Master of Ceremony. He did so competently, colorfully and with humor. We listened to CEO/President Liew Sip Chon before we started eating.

He told us that the familiar Tortoise and Hare story has 4 parts and not just the version we have been hearing all our lives.

In Part 1, the overconfident Hare went to sleep during the race and lost it to the Tortoise. Hence, being Slow and Steady is our first moral of the story.

The disappointed Hare challenged the Tortoise again and won this time running from beginning to end. Hence the moral this time says that we should be Fast and Consistent in our execution.

The resilient Tortoise asked for the race again and this time chose a different route that needed to cross a pond. The tortoise won this time because the Hare couldn't swim. Hence the moral, we can change the condition/enviroment sometimes to give us a competitive edge.

Part 4 was when they race for the fourth time. This time, the Hare carried the Tortoise on his back on the land run and the Tortoise returned the favor when crossing the pond. I gather by now, you can conclude on your own, the moral of this part. Yes, here it means that we all should not be overweight, lest possible synergy between parties may not be able to be executed for optimum results.

So now, what were they saying that there is no such thing as a Free Lunch!

Here with Canon CSP, you get a free lunch and a "Profitable Business by Thinking Outside the Box" program worth RM1850.00 free being conducted by the CEO/President Liew Sip Chon himself. You Can with Canon.














CanonMalaysian Soo Wen sat beside me. She was with Canon Alor Setar before leaving to join Kangar Office Automation. Now, seeking bright lights, big cities, she is here in Kuala Lumpur with Raymond Kuan in RS Majujaya promoting copiers. Unlike most others, she insisted that I took this picture of her close up instead of at a distance of at least 4 feet.














These 2 pretty ladies were Yuki and (dielo, can't remember the other one's name) from Tehtra Office Automation in Puchong Jaya. A company by CanonMalaysian Kenneth Choo who couldn't attend this time round.














Since Alvin Yeoh's wife couldn't make it, he sat down besides pretty girl Stephanie from Canon.

Entrepreneur Rick Low and Veteran Christie Low were there to grace the occasion as well.

Once again, please feel free to criticize on the blur photos as I am still using the slow shutter speed Samsung camera phone and most shots by me were candid and the victims being alive, were moving constantly.
