Fallen

Just saw Tiger's establishment (my innovation) fell again. I guess someone picked it up and put there.

It's interesting to see that the person put the bottle in the tray, which still has water. Does it tell anything about the person?

Innovation that matters

Finally it's up and running.

The prototype was built a week ago. And then today came the last day before a long break. I re-prioritized my work and gave a final touch.

To my surprise, when I did some experiments at the pantry, I found that it wasn't working as expected. I did some investigation and enhanced the solution further.

It was then transferred to production at tiger's place. Again some fine tuning was needed. With tiger's contribution of a xxx strap, it now stands upright and carries out the important duty of automated irrigation, which will keep tiger free from worrying about the plant while taking an extended leave.

Hundred minutes of solitude

Waiting

I met Tiger at 7:30pm+ who offered a free ride but he (we) needed to wait for the first lady. I made a wise decision to stay behind, finished as much work as possible and headed down to get the rest of my dinner first.

Greatest dinner of all

The dinner comprised several elements:

(1) Green tea (N'th turn)
(2) Pork and bun (Lunch of Woo/Mo)
(3) Pear (HK$7, expensive...)
(4) Rice & veg from Cafe DC (HK$12)

It was a delicious one, especially when someone was waiting and starving for the beloved... :)



A muffin in need is a muffin indeed

By chance I found the missing muffins from the marketing event in the morning. Our marketing person passed the muffins (just a portion) to another marketing person (well... BD), to be exact. They became BD person's breakfast.

I found that someone was starving, together with two other lovely ladies WS & KT in my team.

I decided I should offer them muffins...

Dear BD (or marketing?) Person:

Shall we eat? Thanks wor. All faults are mine... :P



Finally

Around 8:45pm, Tiger got a call and was more than delighted about leaving. Not sure if SHE was the caller. Well... let's give Tiger the benefit of doubt.

Campaign - 10 greatest office inventions in 2006

Tiger was soliciting the candidates. We took a few pics. Other inputs are welcome.



Innovation that matters

It's a work-in-progress of the innovation to brush up Tiger's fortune. I was happy about the innovation portion and not too enthusiastic about the actual build. Well... I need to re-think as Tiger has been seriously thinking about nominating it, assuming that could be done in 2006.

That's all for the moment. Need to get back to work...



Just got a call from Birdie, who sounded happy.

Innovation that matters, treat that counts

For superstition reason, Tiger acquired 2 plants (富贵竹) in the office and one of them suffered from dehydration since someone forgot to irrigate (or ask someone else to do so) when taking a week's trip.

As such, I took up the Grand Challenge to devise a cost effective way to maintain the water level while he is away in the future. Of course, without my solution ("自动灌溉系统"), he could only count on more laborious means, including regular reminders, etc., which is subject to human error, but my solution is more scalable, reliable, resilient & replicable which will possibly push his fortune level to a new height! The solution should be ready this week... :)

To celebrate an innovation that matters, Tiger will offer a treat. Those who see this blog post shoud register with him by e-mail and will then automatically be eligible. Deadline is 9am on Dec 1, 2006 (Fri)... :D
