Its a really shocking news to everyone... Well almost everyone except the contractual staff (me). The bad news was the CIP System will be carried out March of 2006, which means about 700 of the current staff will be deployed. With the new technology, man power will be reduced to only 600 people compared to the current amount, 1300.
The minute the manager annouced that, someone gasp really loud... and cursed "shit!!". I dont know why, but somehow something inside me was shaken. I felt so sorry for them, cause most of the are working parents and elderly person. Lossing one income can be a serious problem to a family and for an elderly person, its really tough to compete with the new generation. I still remember seeing a uncle typing using only 1 finger (how to compete with 10 fingers woh!!!)
I remember seeing the faces on their face and the atmospher in the room was soo tense. I sort of can understand how they feel, and I can actually feeel as if I am in their shoes. Why must it be this way? To them its really like the end of the world, cause most of the people had spent almost half of their life there, and now all in the sudden, they are called to leaave?
I heard a lady joking that she wanted to wait till she retired before leaving... but now, looks like she got an early 'booking'.
The system is gonna cause a lot of people to loose their job as it involves a few main division in the United Kingdom, Manchester, Preston, Bolton & Liverpool. Imagine, every division loosing 600 people, 4 divison = 2400 people... How shocking & sad is that...
I guess thats the cons of techonolgy to human kind. Less and less humans are needed to complete the work & technology taking over humans... maybe one day, AI (Artificial Intelligence) will just take over the world... who knows...

My Treasure Box
Got nothing much to post today. Hmm, went and meet Dan & Heidi in Fenwick right after work.
Dan wanted me to buy him a mobile (again)... haha... He was trying soo hard to talk me in, by saying buying me this & that... haha...
I've always wanted to buy another winter jacket, but... I have only 5 more months of cold weather to go through... So, no point buying something that expensive for only 5 months right? I might as well use that money to buy other stuff like bags, perfumes, skirts, pants, accessories... haha... There are soo many things from topshop i want... haha...
Here's my treasure box.. haha.. its actually a lunch box for kids from World of Disney... haha... But nows its my Treasure Box.. keeping all (part) of my accessories...

Shopping . New Car

Was supposed to go get trousers from TOPSHOP today, but guess what, THEY ARE ALL GONE!!! ANd its only been 2 days from the day I saw them, damn it...
So I didnt get anything from TOPSHOP, instead I got some stuff from Miss Selfridge (which is just next door), lolz..
Got myself a pair of jeans & some accessories (again) hehe...

Winter's coming, and day light saving's just begun last Sunday. So we have one hour extra.
Day light is much shorter right now, only from 7am to 4pm we see sunlight. Besides that, its DARK again... Just like when I arrived UK in the beginning of the year...
Brian bought his new car (again), MR2 by Toyota. Its a 2 seater car which I think is quite not practical at all, as he got 2 VIP to fetch, girlfriend & brother. When his family members arrived to atttend his convocation, how are they going to move around? Unless he changes again (which is soo possible). He paid extra one thousand & traded in his BMW.
I think its a brats act to do such thing... bt well, thats his life, his money...

Armageddon
Just finish watching Armageddon.
Its such a gooood show... Trust me... its SUPER...
The first time I watched it I was in form 3 I think, I remembered it so well, cause I stayed up till 2am to finish it (thanks to stupid Bulletin 12 by tv3). That night, I cried like a baby, so am I tonight, I cried as much as the first time I watched it. And my eyes are now pufffy.
Its such a WONDERFULLL SHOW!!! Bruce Willis is soooo MAN... And I just reliazed its one of Michael Bay's production AGAIN... * Cool *
The storyline's soooooo TOUCHING... the scene where Harry (Bruce) sacrifies himself taking over AJ (Ben Affleck) place to trigger the bom was sooooo touching... He told him he treat him like a son >,<... The scene where Harry said goood bye to Grace (Liv Tyler) was soo heart breaking * sob *
And the theme song sang by Aerosmith is so sad.
If I would find this movie in DVD, I swear I will gonna buy & keep it as one of my MAKING ME CRY MOVIE collection =P
Its also sort of reminds me of all the natural disaster the earth had been through lately. With 2 Hurricane struck US, Earthquake in Pakistan, is our world coming to an end?
Are you guys afraid? To be honest, I dont there is anything to be afraid of, cause basically everyone will be dying with you, you wont be alone... Even more WAI SUI than then olden days China Emperor, lolz.
And what for living when rest of the people will be dead, you wouldnt want to face a dead place all by yourself, wont you?
The only problem I think might happen is, will heaven & hell be all jam up? haha... All in the sudden soo many 'foreigners' going in & not out.. haha..
Maybe they have start doing there preparation for THE DAY, by setting more 'counters' with more 'workers' working, lolz...
So guys be good if you wanna go Heaven....
