Bad day for the Project

Episode #1: a laptop was found lost/stolen from the project team room which was set up to be the UAT training room at the moment.

Episode #2: Due to the mishaps (nicely-put) of today's UAT training, the supplier have to tidy up with their configuration work and the UAT training session tomorrow will be postponed until further notice. Moreover, the UAT Round 1 on Thu and Fri are postponed as well, and so are UAT Round 2 next Thu and Fri. Training material preparation workshop 2 will be postponed also, not to say the pre-EUT briefing and some of the EUT...

在公司的一天上Blog

What a great place to spend my Sun (and yesterday as well)... ~_~

Twinkles twinkles...

m's comment is exactly my point!!!

According to examples given in the 'Be Your Star' card,
for 1a, if you are NOT a VIP and spend $28 @ HD, you will get 50 twinkles...
for 2a, if you ARE a VIP and spend $28 @ HD, you will get 75 twinkles...

for 1a, if you are NOT a VIP and spend $74 @ HD, you will get 75 twinkles...
for 2a, if you ARE a VIP and spend $74 @ HD, you will get 150 twinkles...

now, see if you can get 3a's and 3b's twinkles... ;)

How many twinkles will you get?

Haagen Dazs has a new 'Be Our Star' programme. Part of the details as follows:

"現凡惠顧於Haagen Dazs專門店, 可獲得相當每次惠顧總額的twinkles積分*, 如閣下現為Haagen Dazs貴賓卡會員, 出示貴賓卡更可獲取雙倍惠顧總額的twinkles積分. ...

*所獲得的twinkles積分以最接近及較高之$25倍數為準."

So here comes the questions:
1. If you are NOT a VIP and spend
a. $28
b. $74
c. $102
@ HD, how many twinkles will you get?

2. If you ARE a VIP and spend
a. $28
b. $74
c. $102
@ HD, how many twinkles will you get?

3. What kind of consumer behaviour will you think this star programme will encourage, assuming the consumers want to join the programme?

Destined!?

Passed by IFC's Starbucks today and saw a pile of Classified Post (promotional copy) from yesterday... first i didn't know Starbucks have free distribution of Classified Post, second it's a surprise there were copies left... guess i'm destined to get a copy and take some action... ;)

No less occupied!

I thought I would be less occupied after the exams on wednesday, apparently not, but gladly I'm mostly occupied by pleasant matters...
Enjoy so much the exam-free days... :D

Same day 5 years ago...

I still remember the night 5 years ago, I was still in HW project, staying in HI Hotel in SZ, and supposed to go to t's hotel room to meet with m to play bridge (I forgot who's the 4th person)... when I arrived, t & m were already there, and the first flight had already crashed into the Tower, we thought it was not news, but some TV programmes, but no, it was CNN, and we were stupified... ... ...

Another milestone

Finished Part 1 exams of another programme I'm studying... no more exams for the rest of the year... hurray!!!

牛柳粒窩蛋飯

k asked me if i had 牛柳粒窩蛋飯... the answer is... YES!!! Hanagushi's 牛柳粒窩蛋飯 is always my favourite, and a convenient choice when there is some surprise to celebrate... (it is not in the dinner menu but you can ask for it)
