两个星期前的某一个深夜， MSN里收到一则讯息，一位好友。。。她对我说自己已经时日无多了。。。

开始我还以为她的生活上出现了财务问题，问清楚后，才知道是癌症复发。。。乐观估计，3个月就要离开了。

顿时，心情变得很复杂，想安慰她也不知道要说些什么，真的，人已经在死亡的边缘，一切的安慰多觉得是多余的！

她也说了舍不得自己儿子，唯一的牵挂就是他。。。我身为人父，可以想象的到那种无奈和无力感。

说真的，死并不可怕，可恨的是在世的时候没有把该做的都完成。等死，固然是最可怕的一种等待，但是与其等死，倒不如用尽每一秒钟的生命来让自己活的精彩。

死乃人生的终站，不必害怕。 因为每个人都会到达终站。

死不是往生极乐的开始，如果带着痛苦的回忆和万般的思念上路，不如把时间都留给最爱的人，起码和他走完人生最后的阶段。。。

死也不是脱离苦难的出口，生离死别是痛苦的，就算那是一个出口，也是一个悲伤的出口。。。

我约了她出来，我不知道要谈什么，可是我知道我一定要见她一面！虽然我能做的不多，至少我可以支持她奋斗到最后！

已经学会了自己坐起来好一阵子了。

最近还开始学习站立了，但是还不敢再硬硬的地面上爬行。。。

她也牙牙学语了哦，好期待她大声地“呼唤”我啊~~~

时光飞逝，这么快又到了10月。。。有再次拉大队的去吃TeamLunch了。怎么时间过得那么快的啊！~

这次我们去到了位于吉隆坡的Izzi餐厅。原因是，那里正在搞75%的优惠啊！ 75%  没有骗你的~~ 食物也没有缩水！！ 好抵啊！！！

Izzi的布置还不错，座位不会太挤，人也不太多~~ 呵呵！

我们一共7个人。点了3个大的皮萨，6碟意大利面和1碟饭。我全部都忘记了叫什么。。。哈哈哈哈！！在我脑海里的就只有“食物很便宜，叫多些！！”

食物的味道不错，也是健康食品~ 少盐少油的料理！我不多做介绍了。你自己去试试吧！反正便宜到烂 ~~

有收条为据~ 不是骗你的。 快快去吃吧！~~~

Yesterday, I went for a hair cut. I had a talk with the business owner and also a professional stylist, Bernard. A few times, he discussed this topic to me which every one had asked me the same question too.

Do you write program/applications/system for the anybody?

My answer is "Yes". Of course I will do it when there is a profit but not necessary to every one.

Bernard told me that he had acquired a few quotations from some suppliers ranging from RM20,000 to RM40,000. He wants a computerize system to capture all customer data and allow all his branches to share the same database for products or benefits redemption. A very good objective and very positive business motive too. I must praise him because that is not much of business owner will really care about how to increase customer satisfaction.

Although he has a good objective but that is not enough. To be honest, whenever there is a business, there is profit or loss.

I did share some of point of views with Bernard because I see the investment is not small for a small / medium business.

First, he must think about the Return of Investment a.k.a. ROI. To be frank, he did not thought about it. He was thinking to have a system to process things faster and consume lesser man power. So my question to  him is "How much profit do you expect the computer system to generate for you?". His answer is "Not really generating any profit". I was so shock... I replied "Then you should not consider to apply any computer system, because you are investing on something that don't bring you any profit... So why you do it? Better purchase more business related products or equipments in order to provide better service to the customers. That will bring better impact to your business."

Second, I advise him to aim for true Win-Win instead of a fake dream. The question is how to maximum the value for money that a customer spent in each transaction? There are no reasons to ask your customer to pay more because you are going for computerization. If you do not ask your customer to pay more then yourself have to bare the system cost which did not add any value to your business profit. So why bother to apply I.T. where you can't formulate a really Win-Win strategy for it? I am not attempt to force him to retreat but this is the crucial point for all business owners to think about... All of you need a system to generate money but not to waste your hard-earn money. The story can be different if you are filthy rich...

Third, I have asked him, "Do you have any idea on how to guarantee the customer loyalty?". Obviously, he was thinking that the computer system is able to help to secure a customer by providing membership to them. Well, this is partially true. It is because if his competitors apply the same or more advance membership system then his investment will be mostly turn into no value... The first thing he should do it to think on how to secure the customer based by rolling out the computer system.

Anyway, our chat did not go any further because my hair is not that long. Only 20 minutes, he managed to get my hair into a good and stylish shape again!

I pay the bill and come back to share this with you.

I hope this give you some thinking points when you are going for computerization.

Some weeks ago (around September 2008), my team went for team lunch again. Yay! Company paid lunch with our choice of food.

First step into the cafe, makes me feel weird. At the moment, I can't figure out why it is weird. After some minutes, shuttering around, found out that the cafe is full with FEMALE. LoL. Only our table has some handsome men...  

The environment is not bad. It is comfortable and tidy.

Food ordering time! To be real honest to you, my English sucks big time, I hate menu without photos!

Always, I cannot understand what the dishes are except the common ingredient names like Lamb, Cheese, Mushroom, Beef, Eggs and etcetera.

I worried on the serving size... I used to dine in some restaurant so I know a few western dishes will come with reasonable size. But this... looks into the menu, got a lot of choices for example sandwiches, pastas, soup, rice and etc. Well, all looks so "small" to me!

Finally, asked a buddy what is Lamb Shank, his answer is "Sure big enough to stuff you well!"

Without a second thought, I ordered Moroccan Lamb Shank with Tomato rice

Look!! It serves with huge bone ~~~ LoL. Worth the spending!

Some other orders were the Salmon rice, Beef Pasta and Salmon Pasta. We had 2 pieces of cake for desserts. (I could not remember the food names because the receipt was submitted for claim )

Overall, all dishes serve in a reasonable size for female or small eater

The taste was not bad at all. Very healthy cooking with less oil, little salt and almost no extra "ajinomoto". This is slow food too!

Give it a try if you do not aim for value for money

5 points is max

Food：4 points

Environment：3.5 points

Service：3 points

差不多有我的头那么大~~~
