Being absent minded, I mistaken my watch for the keys. Only after I closed the main door I realized that I need to check my pockets. To my horror, the keys wasn’t there. No where to go, I quickly tweet about it. That’s my first reaction. Nothing much I can do about. I called my friend, who I passed a set of spare keys to. My call to him went to voice mail. *gasp*

Kopi O from @titbiz

Now this scare the shit out of me. What am I going to do? Tried to call him again. Texted him. Waited for a while before I ring up @Youtiup. He came over laughing finding it too funny. He called his wife, @titbiz and it was fun watching a helpless chap getting nowhere. @potatoe came later and took a photo, as seems I was jailed behind bar.

This ordeal completely gave me a solution to the situation I am locked in by myself. I guess, thats the peril of staying alone. Well, I can’t just put another set of spare keys inside my car. It’s too dangerous and inviting for a burgarly.

Finally, Leroy came back just to save me from the helpless situation. At least looking at the bright side, he wasn’t outstation or traveling oversea. In the end, I guess I need another set of spare keys to be kept by another friend.

Meanwhile Cisco was bullish with their FCoE. It is true that eventually these customers will convert to FCoE but majority still skeptical and rather wait after all the money they have invested in for the FiberChannel.

My former employer was reluctant to play the Cisco game due to the minimal margin they can benefit from when compares to what Bay Network then Nortel now Avaya could offers. Eventually all will move Cisco because of the major piece of pie is there. Who can deny that? If I am not mistaken, my former employer finally obtained the Silver Partner qualification after few years. Yes. During my stint there, they totally ignorance and now, they have to bite the bullet. No doubt that they need to spend extra to maintain these CCIE, CCNA or what so ever, but in the longer run will benefit the company as a whole.

However, no matters how one have been enjoying the margin they used to make, these people need to get themselves a wake up call. They can no longer enjoying comfortably what they are enjoying now. This is due to the globalization. Information is easily available. Sourcing for items has become so easy.

If last time one used to make 30% margin, they now ought to live with 10% or even 5%. No one shall be enjoying that unless you are living in a closed market country like Myanmar?

I received an email providing the insight for next year. So, time to choose your most auspicious day to start work. It is based on your zodiac.

I personally think Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is very sticky when it comes to the story line. The cinematic campaign has always been dramatic. Follow up from the previous installment, it has entered the World War III, fighting between the rubble of the buildings throughout the entire cities around the would.

Being that addictive, I finished the game as soon as possible! Well, that’s not the reason for getting the MW3. It’s for the multiplayer. Currently, it has 1 additional feature for the multiplayer – Special Ops where you can collaborate with another online player.

I’m not sure about whether I should get Skyrim? Afraid of the addiction to play non-stop.

The event was attended attended by members of the media and a host of PUMA Friends such as Jay Menon, Suki, Dennis Lau, Phat Fabes & Ben, Jason Phang, Jeff Chin, Chermaine Poo, Roshan, James Baum, Aric, attendees were introduced to the elements that make up PUMA Social’s latest campaign, which include a personality test and “pimped-up” version of its latest social sports – BOWLING.

First launched in April this year, the campaign is hinged by a number of elements including a mood video; cheeky in-store adverts; and a PUMA Social website that fuses PUMA-created and user-generated content that is updated dynamically on the site. The website is designed to make it easy for PUMA Social-ites across the nation to share their own competitive scoreboards and connect with other users via a host of social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and FourSquare.

On an on-ground level, consumers were introduced to the campaign via a fun and interactive club event, known as the PUMA Social Club Tour. Entitled “Here’s to the After-Hours Athlete”, it paid homage to the champions of late night games i.e. foosball, ping pong, darts and arcade games, and applauded accomplished individuals who enjoy the smell of victory and the agony of defeat, whilst keeping track of their life’s Scoreboard.

This time round, the club event is known as the PUMA Social Club Nights, where Malaysian after-hours athletes will be given the opportunity to experience PUMA’s quirky interpretation of bowling at designated corners within each participating club. The club events will not only take place in the Klang Valley, but also in key market centres such as Penang, 2 December at Fuel, Autocity; Melaka, 9 December at Movida; Johor Bahru, 10 December at Hola Pub & Bistro; and finally, Klang Valley, 25 November at Ecoba, Damansara Perdana and 26 November, Movida, Sunway Giza. The grand finale will take place on 16 December 2011, also at Cosmic Bowl – the place where it all began.

There are a total of eight (8) personality group types: Playerz, Top Shots, Picfreaks, Hot Stuff, Songbirdz, Wigglers, Bottom-uppers and Foodies that they will fall under. Depending on their answers, consumers will be lumped into these respective groups, where they will be given the opportunity to battle it out amongst themselves at the PUMA Social Finale Party. Upon determining
their personality types, consumers will need to RSVP their attendance for the finale, before they are given PUMA vouchers worth RM20 each. Consumers who utilise these vouchers and purchase PUMA products worth RM120 and above before the PUMA Social Finale Party will automatically be upgraded to VIP status, where added privileges will be provided to them on that day itself.

“We decided to embark on a social platform this time around as it ties back nicely to the concept of an after-hours athlete. Most, if not all, after-hours athletes are social media-savvy, and what better way to inculcate PUMA Social’s brand personality than to reach them through a medium that they not only enjoy, but also binds them,” says Gabriel Yap, Head of Marketing, PUMA Malaysia.

“PUMA pioneered the idea of SportLifestyle and built our brand on having fun. With PUMA Social, we are continuing to honour groups of friends who know the joy of playing sports at the bar rather than at the gym. The campaign shuns the serious nature of organised sports and celebrates social sports that are timeless and authentic,” he added.

A full listing of events, venues and dates will be released and updated on www.puma-social.com.my. Become a

Partners for PUMA Social’s latest campaign include Carlsberg, Jagermeister and Cosmic Bowl.

Realizing he needed a haircut before the next day’s meeting, he called down to the desk clerk to ask if there was a barber on the premises.

‘I’m afraid not, sir,’ the clerk told him apologetically, ‘but down the hall from your room is a vending machine that should
serve your purposes.’

Skeptical but intrigued, Eric located the machine, inserted $15.00, and stuck his head into the opening, at which time the machine started to buzz and whirl. Fifteen seconds later Eric pulled out his head and surveyed his reflection, which reflected the best haircut of his life.

Two feet away was another machine with a sign that read, ‘Manicures – $20.00′.

‘Why not?’ thought Eric. He paid the money, inserted his hands into the slot, and the machine started to buzz and whirl. Fifteen seconds later he pulled out his hands and they were perfectly manicured.

The next machine had a sign that read, ‘This Machine Provides a Service Men Need When Away from Their Wives, 50 Cents.’

Eric looked both ways, put fifty cents in the machine, unzipped his fly, and with some anticipation, stuck his manhood
into the opening. When the machine started buzzing, the guy let out a shriek of agony and almost passed out. Fifteen seconds later it shut off.

With trembling hands, Eric was able to withdraw his tender unit….. which now had a button sewn neatly on the end…
