There was a cocktail reception last week to congratulate the teams that qualified into the 2nd round to represent Malaysia. There were 30+ teams representing Malaysia in this international game from a total of around 10000+ (i think).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, our team submited our decisions for the simulation a couple of days ago and the results came out this morning. The object of the game is to boost our Stock Price Index (SPI) as high as possible with the business decisions we make in the game. Well, we were (at least i was) quite optimistic that we would be able to improve our SPI from 1071+ (in Round 1) further in Round 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, the results came out and i searched for our team name. Our SPI has dropped to 900+!! My first thought was 'F**k!' then i checked again. A total of 1180 teams in the world qualified and guess what we got?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1078!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's crazy right? We qualified! I'm going to buy 4D with that number!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the reception i heard that at Round 1, our team was ranked 6th in Malaysia. Now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me help you, instead of looking from the top, try from the bottom...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/1600/loreal.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/320/loreal.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;You see it?

I guess i'm losing interest writing or just lazy to think of materials to write. Anyway, i want to share a book which i've just read. Since The Da Vinci Code, the word 'conspiracy' have often popped up at me n me frens yamcha sessions and conversations so i guess maybe some of my friends might find this book interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/1600/confessions.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/320/confessions.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New York Times bestseller, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins is a true story about himself as an Economic Hit Man (EHM). An EHM, based on the definition from the book are people hired by international financial institutions such as the World Bank, IMF or huge corporations to encourage countries (mostly third world) to take out huge American loans with the promise of economic and social development to the country. They acheive this through fraudulent financial reports, statistics and in the author's case, misleading forecasts which causes victim countries to take out larger than need loans for their own country's development which in turn are contracted to US companies and corporations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The result is the economic boom doesn't come true as predicted (due to the 'over-optimistic' forecasts) and the country is burdened with huge loans (for eg, the book says Ecuador spends 50% of its national budget just to service the loans!). Then these companies or countries (in this case the US) use this as leverage to pressurize countries to do their economic and political bidding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book gives a brief insight on the mechanism that his home country employs to promote the expansion of the 'Global Empire' and to safeguard US oil supplies. The author goes on to share his experiences in countries such as Indonesia, Latin American countries and of course, Saudio Arabia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course as a reader (and an objective one, i hope), i don't try to assume everything in the book are true. However, his discussions on recent and not-so-recent international events (for eg presidential assasinations) and international politics make me think about the world today and triggered my sudden interest in global politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if what he wrote is true or even half of it is true? The rest of the world currently seem helpless in stopping this new form of imperialism. This is especially evident when you look at how even the United Nations was helpless in stopping the US from invading Iraq and yet whenever a country goes against the will of UN, often the US is the first one to spearhead its noble cause. Btw, have they managed to find any WMDs? The only result of the invasion is that we know the country with the WMDs is the US itself.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18752258-113694535010566443?l=notvc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://notvc.blogspot.com/feeds/113694535010566443/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18752258&amp;postID=113694535010566443&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18752258/posts/default/113694535010566443'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18752258/posts/default/113694535010566443'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://notvc.blogspot.com/2006/01/united-states-global-empire.html' title='United States, the Global Empire?'/><author><name>~V~C~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09221493000319491167</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18752258.post-113593005903058970</id><published>2005-12-30T15:51:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-12-30T16:07:39.040+08:00</updated><title type='text'>We Are History</title><content type='html'>Haven't been back to the campus for some time.

Saying that SAF is laying the groundwork for Manu for the next decade with the young players bla bla...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, i think it's just a load of crap! Look at the team that played last night. The only 'new n young' generation player playing was probably C.Ronaldo, Mr. ALWAYS LIKE TO TAKE A SHOT INSTEAD OF MAKE A PASS. The other is Wayne Rooney, who is already considered a talisman for England and Manu like Beckham used to be a couple years back. If you want to talk about new generation, i think Arsenal's new generation is way more convincing than Manu's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It just makes me wonder if Roy Keane had played would Manu lose? How are you going to shape your 'new generation' when your most commanding captain is not at the training grounds kicking the youngsters backside? At least when Viera left there's still the always-reliable Henry to look to when the going gets tough, how bout Manu? Has SAF lost it again? His fiery iron fist kinda rule at Manu worked well in the past, but i think it has now become his undoing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He should have left at the peak...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18752258-113400257516364130?l=notvc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://notvc.blogspot.com/feeds/113400257516364130/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18752258&amp;postID=113400257516364130&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18752258/posts/default/113400257516364130'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18752258/posts/default/113400257516364130'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://notvc.blogspot.com/2005/12/christmas-without-santa-claus.html' title='Christmas without Santa Claus'/><author><name>~V~C~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09221493000319491167</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18752258.post-113377452155328989</id><published>2005-12-05T17:15:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-12-05T17:22:01.566+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The next worst thing to happen after Armageddon</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/1600/limited.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/320/limited.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/1600/repair.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/320/repair.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18752258-113377452155328989?l=notvc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://notvc.blogspot.com/feeds/113377452155328989/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18752258&amp;postID=113377452155328989&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18752258/posts/default/113377452155328989'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18752258/posts/default/113377452155328989'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://notvc.blogspot.com/2005/12/next-worst-thing-to-happen-after.html' title='The next worst thing to happen after Armageddon'/><author><name>~V~C~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09221493000319491167</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18752258.post-113342226775766682</id><published>2005-12-01T15:18:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-12-01T15:31:07.766+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Have you been a BAD boy?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/1600/1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/320/1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Whoa!!

So i was cruising at 110-120 and since it was dark and i was driving alone i turned up the radio. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10 mins...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;45 mins...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 hour...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you guys listen to radio stations nowadays, do you ever get the feeling you're listening to the same music over and over again? Dammit!! I flipped to other channels and it seems like everyone is playing the same goddam song! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hip-hop hip-hop HIP-HOP ARGH!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few songs is still ok, but to hear it over and over again makes me want to bite off my own ear! What is hip-hop? To me hip-hop music contains just 8 bars. A black guy found some beat and rythem, put it into 8 bars and repeat it over and over and over again...with just different lyrics.

Weird huh...sounds like a potential Nobel prize topic to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suspect it could be my chair or the fact that i have to stretch my hand to reach for the mouse coz d damn cable is so short.

I like the option" (Does it include free printing and office stationaries?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then she went on about how graduates like to be choosy, prefer MNC than a small company like theirs. She also talked about it is good to start small lah, then when you move up then u'll understand the overall operation and picture &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(do they plan to promote me as manager soon?)&lt;/span&gt;.

Since today is your first time with me, i would like to give an introduction to anger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is anger? According to Webster's dictionary, anger is a strong feeling of displeasure or hostility to an event or another individual. Simply put, it's the burning sensation you feel in your toes or for some of my patients their genitals when they get screwed over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, basically there are 2 types of anger. There is the exploding type and the imploding type of anger. First, exploding anger. Exploding anger is the type you see almost everyday. When people cut into your lane abruptly when you drive, you salute them with your finger and tell them to have intercourse with an animal. Or when your child does something wrong, and you say to them, "I can make you, i can also destroy you!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, imploding anger is a little bit tricky. It's invisible and hard to detect. Imploding anger happens when some people give's you a task to do when it's not your expertise but you gladly accept it since you're there to learn (and you have no choice). But when you show them your result, they question your common sense (which btw isn't really that common, unless your doin that major). Because you're wasting their time, they talk to you in a very rude and impatient way as if you're retarded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Normally, signs of such anger are not manifested immediately. However, some angerees do curse the angerers so that their little general will get demoted to a private and point their gun the opposite way. There are also some unique ones, who prefer to blog about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, that's all for today's lesson. It's almost time for my yoga class. Class dismissed!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18752258-113261984186002439?l=notvc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://notvc.blogspot.com/feeds/113261984186002439/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18752258&amp;postID=113261984186002439&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18752258/posts/default/113261984186002439'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18752258/posts/default/113261984186002439'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://notvc.blogspot.com/2005/11/anger-managementlesson-1.html' title='ANGER MANAGEMENT...Lesson 1'/><author><name>~V~C~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09221493000319491167</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18752258.post-113253509441591411</id><published>2005-11-21T08:59:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-11-21T10:35:49.183+08:00</updated><title type='text'>ARGH!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/1600/hairpull.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/400/hairpull.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ARGH!!

He plays for an amatuer 'soccer' team in LA, where his family lived. It was there where he was discovered by this scout and invited him for a trial with the Toons (that's Newcastle United for you non kakis out there)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there's you usual "should i go" or "shouldn't i go" tussle and as always, the "you should stay on your feet and stop dreaming" father. Then with the encouragement of his grandmother, Santiago makes the trip to Newcastle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Struggled abit at first trials, manager wasn't impressed, made everyone think it's all over and then miraculously got another chance. Got into the reserves...bla bla...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/1600/goalbeach.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/320/goalbeach.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The movie also has your typical spoilt rich brat star player in the form of Gavin Harris. Always partying, screwing up girls, late for training...u know, the usual stuff that only happens in your dreams...and also Santiago's hot nurse girlfriend (Hello,nurse!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best thing about this movie i have to say is the action lah. It's very realistic, and when Santiago dribbles between defenders, you heart actually beats faster for him. When goals are scored, it is no different from an actually match. You actually feel the excitement like a real football match.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And theres also appearances of real football players like Shearer, Beckham etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder how did the director managed to filmed the movie in such a way that when a match is playing, Santiago seems like really playing with the real Newcastle squad with the real players (Jenas, Bowyer etc) and also real opposing team players. That's what made it so realistic and exciting...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GOAL is a trilogy, like LOTR. The first movie ends with Newcastle qualifying for Europe next season, the 2nd movie is about Newcastle in Europe and the last movie is about Santiago being transferred to Real Madrid (how cool is that!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll definitely be queuing up for the next sequel...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18752258-113169613944284974?l=notvc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://notvc.blogspot.com/feeds/113169613944284974/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18752258&amp;postID=113169613944284974&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18752258/posts/default/113169613944284974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18752258/posts/default/113169613944284974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://notvc.blogspot.com/2005/11/gooaaaaall.html' title='GOOAAAAALL!!!!'/><author><name>~V~C~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09221493000319491167</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18752258.post-113168608294747574</id><published>2005-11-11T13:08:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-11-11T13:15:05.103+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The CARD...</title><content type='html'>Brought the supplier to our factory today.

Well, i guess i can handle 3 hours of leg shaking...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Came back after lunch around 12pm (we were let off early for lunch, hoping that the power will come back on after that).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/1600/blackbuilding.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/320/blackbuilding.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;12.50pm.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.30pm............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody could leave because everyone has to stay just in case the power comes back on and have to continue production...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.35pm.................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And i thought life here can't get any boringER....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.23pm..........................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y'all know, if i listen hard enough, i can hear my own heart beating...cool huh!!&lt;br /&gt;Then it started to rain...nature's way of telling us to stop waiting and  go home and sleep.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.25pm...........................................................x1000&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, my manager was kind enough to let us trainees leave early.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pretty interesting day i must say.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18752258-113158387366802415?l=notvc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://notvc.blogspot.com/feeds/113158387366802415/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18752258&amp;postID=113158387366802415&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18752258/posts/default/113158387366802415'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18752258/posts/default/113158387366802415'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://notvc.blogspot.com/2005/11/i-cant-see-my-fingers.html' title='I can&apos;t see my fingers!!'/><author><name>~V~C~</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09221493000319491167</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18752258.post-113150038735688305</id><published>2005-11-09T09:17:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-11-09T09:39:47.363+08:00</updated><title type='text'>My PC</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/1600/p1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3700/1286/320/p1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Intel Pentium 1 166Mhz&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;16MB Ram&lt;br /&gt;10GB Hard drive&lt;br /&gt;Windows 98 Second Edition (Second edition man, cool!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Intel announces the release of the fastest processor in the world!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Intel released today it's latest addition to its processor family.

People busy with their work, and i'm just there minding my own business (doing nothing).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It always feels like Xmas here....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...with the 3000W air-con directly behind my head...only without the snow...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really had great expectations before I came here. Was excited of the exposure, the people i'm going to meet, the things i'm going to learn. I though i would get to hang out with my supervisor, and i'll get the chance to go out and meet customers, suppliers...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But i guess it was never meant to be...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first task was to clone a machine. Yup, you heard it right.&lt;br /&gt;CLONE A GOD DAMN MACHINE!&lt;br /&gt;It's a machine they bought from overseas costing around Beckham's 1 month wages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't know my uni had such great reputation out here. The first meeting with a trainee and my manager expects me to clone a machine. &lt;em&gt;You must be kidding!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This machine had one of this component that apparently according to intelligence, only the CIA has it. Dammit! Since then til now i've been doing nothing but Googling and looking for it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's the end of my industrial training presentation Mr. Nirod.
