Information Systems has enabled a lot of processes to be more efficient. It has allowed the management to keep track of every aspect of its business - from end users to its staff, monitoring environment factors to it internal operations.

I guess public transport operator has been able to utilise it to the fullest! Monitoring the passenger flow at each station in real time and dynamically dispatching the trains so as to achieve maximum tonnage on the trains. Effectively reducing its cost of operations. By not transfering the savings to end users (who faces increasing fare), they can effectively increase their revenue!

Sigh. I am always in a packed train.

Gotta make sangria one of these days. Steve introduced that wine punch a while back but I didn’t have the time to make it. Got to look through my bottles for the correct red wine for the sangria. Hope it would be fruity!

Party Sangria

1 Bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Zinfandel, Shiraz)

1 Lemon cut into wedges

1 Orange cut into wedges

1 Lime cut into wedges

2 Tbsp sugar

Splash of orange juice

2 Shots of gin

1 Cup of sliced strawberries or raspberries (may use thawed or frozen)

1 Small can of diced pineapples (with juice)

4 Cups ginger ale

I think I will leave ginger ale out. Wonder if I could substitute vodka for gin. Great I’ve got Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Must remember to get Red Burgundy and white wine Chardonnay Pinot Noir.

Seems like I’ve lots of backlog piling up! Try to do them this December.

1. Draft up project closure procedures (documentation for future project management) for GT
2. LP for Daniel
3. New web application on a new domain
4. Gundam!

Just hope that it isn’t the light of an oncoming  train.

These few weeks have been busy. Busy with project deadlines - rushing reports, developing system. If not for Wen Wei, I would have died of overload. Haha! Well, the reason for overload is due to project members not chipping in quality work. Nonetheless, it is going to be over! Only left with two project presentation and exams!

By December I would be free! And it would be time to seek for a job.

Looking at the financial services industry, something struck my mind. What if IT giants fall? What would happen if, lets say, IBM, Cisco, HP, Microsoft declares bankrupt? Hmmmm…

Went down to Chinatown with Serene last Saturday to check out the prices for the trip. Pretty expensive to go on a trip these days.

Anyway, managed to get the tickets to Hong Kong this December. Looking forward to the trip and spending time together in Hong Kong with Serene! I guess she wants to buy alot of stuffs down there, especially at Disneyland! Haha
