Enjoy what you have...

The American businessman was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna.

The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, "only a little while."

The American then asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs.

The American then asked, but what do you do with the rest of your time? The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life, senor."

The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds buy a bigger boat with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise."

The Mexican fisherman asked, "But senor, how long will this all take?" To which the American replied, "15-20 years."

"But what then, senor?" The American laughed and said, "That's the best part! When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions."

"Millions, senor? Then what?" The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."

Sun Secure Global Desktop

Finally, SunRay leaving the LAN and go to WAN.

Imagine say the local ISP, Tmnet, they can actually bundle this with
their broadband "Streamyx" DSL service and will definitely increase
their broadband penetration rate into homes that do not have PCs, they
big challenge is to increase they customer base, but being slowed down
by the PC penetration rate.

And imagine TM data service providing application hosting services that
give SME saving on buying PC hardware, software, and maintenance/support
services, no commercial company use pirated software, right? :)

Imagine real estate developer pre-installed thin clients in all rooms in
all unit to provide online services to their tenent. How existing.

What other area that this can be done? Kiosk in mall, university dorm,
classrooms and etc. Low cost to run and low cost to maintain.

One word, WOW!!!!!

And of cos, in the datacenter will require big ass storage system, what
else buy NetApp storage.

Congratulation Tunku Majid

Todays Star paper, Tunku Abdul Majid, the second son of the Sultan of Johor is getting married. I used to go to the same pre-U school with him, the famous Maktab Sultan Abu Bakar, or better known as English College, we were in the same prefect board when we was the captain of the board. Good times.

Still remember the "interesting" field trip we had to KL to visit some schools. Mainly girls school. Bukit Nenas Girl School, some convent in KL and play soccer game with SM Alam Shah.

Congratulation to Tunku Majid and Tunku Teh Mazni.

Are they feel stupid now?

Those ambulance chaser bastard

Ever driving druring the rush hour, stuck in traffic and saw an
ambulance in the rear view mirror, ever move the car to the side to
allow it to go ahead, and find out that always, always there will be one
or two bastard following the ambulance closely to beat the traffic.

Yeah, those bastard, they think their time is more valuable than other
people, and not considering the safely of other people, what if they
crash into the back of the ambulance and cause the patient in the
ambulance to die because of the delay in reaching the hospital.

The amazing things is, everytime, I meant 100% of the time, when an
ambulance drove pass, there must be a car also following closely with
the ambulance. There must be a lot of those scumb in KL. Amazing.

Stupid people.
