If I tell you that I can update my status message, post on my colleagues profiles, and follow a blog while at work - will you report me to my boss and tell her that I am not being productive? Well, that is what we are in my organization - we collaborate, we use technology and we share ideas. To be clear, we are not using Facebook to connect socially with our colleagues or with anyone within the organization around the globe - we have this platform...

The Avengers: Not Your Usual Action Sci-Fi Movie (It's a Comedy!)
Posted on 20:47 by Unknown

The Avengers is a comedy film! Well, it is just my nice way of saying that it is entertaining and that I did enjoy the movie! I am no film critic and a certified movie-reviewer but now I understand why The Avengers grossed more than 100M in two days of its opening. The movie doesn't mainly focused on action scenes and effects, but also considered character building, scripting and how movie-goers can relate to each character.I got a brilliant idea...

South Bark: New Online Pet Store + Give-away!
Posted on 21:01 by Unknown

If only I have a pet, I will keep these lovely prizes sponsored by South Bark. But we chose not to keep a pet at home. We thought it is like a relationship (you have to nurture them, and have time for them), and we can just simply say that I, and my parents don't want commitment (at this point).We used to have a cute puppy, then a cat (oh, I love cats!) and then a fish. But now, I am content seeing my friends' lovely pets - especially if they are...

Drink (Nescafe) Decaf and Get a Chance to Win Trip to Asian Country
Posted on 20:20 by Unknown

I love coffee more than I love alcohol. It is a fact; which is I think is good and I would like to think that drinking coffee would do me good than drinking alcohol. It was funny that the last time I went to a hotel bar for our last night out in Indonesia, I asked the waiter if they serve coffee. Unfortunately, they do not. My love for coffee probably was ignited when I worked as a barista in one of the famous coffee shops today. I made hot drinks...

A blog series about my in-country assignment to Makassar for IBM Corporate Service Corp.Follow along https://www-146.ibm.com/corporateservicecorps/ It is more than a month, but I love thinking of the great experiences I had in Makassar, Indonesia.

Do You Have a Firande Story? Share and Win Prizes!
Posted on 01:52 by Unknown

If you have been following me on Twitter, you might have seen or noticed the label #Firande that I use whenever I tweet something nice and exciting.What is Firande? Firande is a Swedish word which means feast or celebration. It is nice that simple things can be called for a celebration, especially if it is captured by a camera or video. Interestingly, Electrolux traces its roots from Sweden. I am sure you have heard of Electrolux, this is one brand...

(So Far) My Best Breakfast Buffet in Hotel Kempinski
Posted on 23:47 by Unknown
When I woke up this morning, my first thought was - What's for breakfast? I remember the breakfast we had in Hotel Kempinski. They say that one should get a heavy breakfast to start a day - and I think Hotel Kempinski took it too seriously.We were not only served with the usual cereals, breads and eggs. When our Program Manager said that Hotel Kempinski offers the best breakfast buffet, I have to believe her even if she shared it during dinner and...

Anyway, thank you to everyone who joined the Human Nature and Social Entrepreneurs Giveaway! I am happy with the number of entries we received - but most importantly, I am happy to know that more and more people are supporting this cause to help our social entrepreneurs....

Ready to Play Under the Sun
Posted on 09:47 by Unknown

Sun, sea and sand.. Summer is coming.. Summer is here! I just came from a business trip in Indonesia (with fun-filled weekend activities) but I am now longing for another trip. What surprise me is that a lot don't like the sun, and are hesitant to take the plunge and enjoy. I know it is not about the two-piece bikini, but ladies (and even gents) are afraid to get those red spots after long hours under the sun. I, for one didn't care much about...
