“President Obama — backed by the conclusions of a broad range of economists — believes that China is manipulating its currency,” Geithner wrote in answer to questions submitted to him by members of the Senate Finance Committee. – By Martin Crutsinger, AP Economics Writer
Hussein, please ask your dawg to layoff this rhetoric. This is not the time to get the Chinese offended.
When you have time, please check under the hood and get your sight in-line. The Persians and the Russian are your enemy….These two will be your formidable nemesis during your presidency.
This is one of those motivational clip that I watch every once in a while.
You know la….Everyone talk about 2009 is going to be a tough year. So, I hope this motivational clip remind me to focus on my stuff and continue to push forward.
“The Future of Online Advertising” with Adrian Toy, the APAC Regional Interactive Director for Universal McCann. That was the title.
Took this pix without flash but with higher ISO…does not comes out that good. (Adrian – far left, Napoleon – right)
After 15 minutes into the talk, I left. Why? Because I did not hear anything solid coming out from Adrian(maybe he does not know his stuff) or maybe the questions was not being ask right. I don’t know.
All I hear was comparison with Korea…I don’t want to hear about Korea because they are a different animal.
I wanted to know something Hong Kong specific. Like…their Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 customers, what kind of ads they position in the online medium. IE….Chinese portals, News portal or some other portals.
Next, coming into 2009, what kind of trend their advertisers might pursue. Is it more branding, game like strategies or others.
Very simple…that is all I want to know…All I get was general stuff. Well, maybe I am too demanding…I don’t know…or maybe the talks is not important and people just gather to networks.
Again..no flash.
Indeed, that night was very packed. Much more attendance than before. Probably because of the economic and everyone want to come out to network.
I was watching Albert Cheng on NOW 100 and he recomended a book that title ‘The Last Lecture – Randy Pausch’. Also, he point out the video is on youtube.
As I am getting old, I wonder what would I do if I have been give months to live. I don’t know…So, check out the video….it was very motivational for me.
As I have on my previous post, I might not go out to Tsim Sha Tsui to check out the firework but I decided to head out to Tsuen Wan. Its closer to where I lived and I don’t have to walk until Jordan to get a bus.
This where we waited for fireworks to happen. There were a lot mini concert all over Tsuen Wan. Mostly by B or C grade singers.
This couple was sleeping while waiting. It was 11C and they can take nap. Wow…
As everyone was counting 5,3,2,1 and I was pointing my camera toward the building to get a glimpse of the fireworks. NOTHING HAPPEN…..no fireworks….
And this is what I get for choosing a non-crowded and closer to home area. Well….what can I say….
Anyway, 2008 has been a good year and I hope 2009 will bring me more fortunes despite the worldwide recession….
