Make a Date with Joanne Lee

From the photos, you can tell,

Amber Chia is slightly taller than Anwar.

Joanne, a CanonMalaysian has a whole wardrobe of Nike T's.

Joanne is short sighted and looks the same in all her photos.

Joanne only likes local celebrities.

Joanne is closer to Amber than to Anwar.

Joanne proves that you do not have to work in Canon to have photos with some famous people.

Joanne I heard today is a fitness junkie and work out in fitness centres several times a week. She first started this bad habit several years ago when she felt she could not keep up with her husband physically.

I wonder whether she knows my friend Ian Cheang.

Oh yes, before I forget. Joanne is organising a get together with some ex-Canon people, CanonMalaysians.

The occassion will be a buffet lunch Holiday Villa on the 24th April 2010.

So far, the names of those probably coming include Louis Lee, Jeeneze Lee, Calvyn Laang, Rocky Loot, Angela Woon, Andrew Kong, Richard Yeow, Cheng Siew Ho, Chua Hock Keat, Brenda Kua. These are still early days. A lot more should be notified and be coming in. She mentioned the dim sum buffet is RM30.00 ++.

Joanne requests that you write on her facebook profile for her to keep track. You have a facebook account, don't you. Even an old uncle like me does.

By the way, both Amber and Anwar can't make it next month.

Teh Meng Chee; Rest in Peace Brother.

I received this from Edmond Liew yesterday morning. The first of many.

.

I think it originated from Jack Lim.

Dear All,

Very sad to inform that Mr. Teh Meng Chee passed on peacefully on 23 inst. evening. Wake on 24(Wed) n 25(Thur) at residence: 17 Jln 12/38E, Tmn. Sri Sinar, Segambut, 51200 K.L. Funeral mass at 10.30am on 26(Fri) at Jesus Caritas Church, Jln. Kepong Baru, KL. Fm: Jack Lim.

I saw the sad news this morning in The Star obituary section as well.
.

Teh Meng Chee and me were never close although our offices were just next to each other when we were both in Canon in Wisma Avon. I now have lost the opportunity to get to know him better.

The little I know about Teh, I found him consistently pleasant, polite and have a sunny disposition indeed. He is one of those managers I know who made it a habit to see resellers and consumers without hesitation. I have so far never heard a negative comment on him from his staff; those that I know.

May you Rest in Peace, my brother.

The Sting. The Movie

I watched this movie earlier today on Astro. I can't remember watching this 30 over years ago. I guess maybe I did not!

This one came out in 1973. A classic now.

Robert Redford and Paul Newman. What can go wrong? This one was after the other classic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

I guess it is just me. I just can't seem to get it. The Oscar winning film did not move me in any way. Despite its reputation, it is not gripping, keeping you at the edge of your seat in anticipation or anything.

Otherwise, you know this is a story of one conman being wronged with his friend/partner getting killed and he teamed up with another hero to stage a big time sting operation to get back. A big con, so it seems.

Really good looking guys, this two. Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Should it be if in my dreams I can choose to look like either one of them, I'll take Paul. Incidentally the women in this movie were pretty plain and dowdy looking. I guess to not take away the two gentlemen's attractive looks.

What prompted me to watch, naturally was the reputation of this classic movie. I watched James Dean's East of Eden a couple of months back and that too did not appear magical.

Did you remember this other movie done 20 years later starring Robert Redford and Demi Moore. Demi Moore was so beautiful in this movie. Indecent Proposal.

Here billionaire Robert's character offered husband and wife, Demi's character USD1 million for a night with the wife.

I guess today Ashton Kutcher sees Demi as I saw her in 1993.

The Computer Shoppe has Moved!

The company I am with Stone-Mashe Sdn Bhd attempted a retail store some years back.

The store had 2 identities; a Hewlett-Packard Original Cartridge Store and The Computer Shoppe.

This store based in Danau Desa in Taman Desa has moved. The following 3 photos should tell us the story of the exodus.

This picture was the notice on the shutters.


Some of you may know Ming Hong and Jeremy.
.
The new place is 2 doors away from my current office in Desa Business Park, Taman Desa.
.
There will be a change in store identity. The new place is now undergoing some finishing touches and when done, I shall put up another report with some fresh photos.

Cheers!
