jaja the guru!!

jaja levels up liao, surpassing ah jek in guru-dom. read all about it here...

excerpt:

... research manager, IDC Government Insights Asia-Pacific, lists cloud computing and new assessment technologies as two key shapers of Singapore's education scene.

'Cloud computing essentially creates a low-cost infrastructure platform for schools to provide social networking, publishing, computing, and other Web 2.0 tools for their students,' she says. 'As more education applications migrate to the cloud, schools will be able to enjoy subscription packages to a slew of Web-enabled applications that allow students to use the software in school, at home, during excursions and field trips.'

...

'Education in the 21st century is no longer about getting As in math, physics and literature. The most important takeaway for students should be skill sets that they develop in schools which can be applied to the real world when they graduate,' she says.

Office Reality TV Bloggers Gets to Enjoy SOFriendly Services

For Immediate Release

The Office Reality TV's vision of an open and effective infocomm work environment for bloggers takes another step towards fruition as the SOFriendly – the largest Office Reality TV infocomm project in scope and scale – has started rolling out services to the first batch of teams. Since July 2009, the bloggers in these teams are enjoying working in a flexible environment that promotes communication, collaboration and knowledge-sharing.

Teams included in the first batch are the Guru Team, Khim Khim Team, Velvet Team and Do-man Team.

Speaking at the launch of the SOFriendly Showcase today, Mr Ah Jek, Head of the Office Reality TV Techie Service, cited that the SOFriendly Programme calls for a collaborative and consultative effort and support from the Whole-of-Office Reality TV. "Infocomm will continue to be a key enabler for the teams, and the SOFriendly Programme is another step towards Freedom. The implementation of this ambitious project indeed marks another significant chapter in the history of Office Reality TV’s infocomm journey," said Mr Jek.

Commenting on the SOFriendly implementation, Dr Ng Hung Hee, Deputy Secretary (Stage Performance), Velvet Team, said, "I am happy that SOFriendly has commenced deployment. The SOFriendly Programme is a major undertaking that will bring about many benefits for us. SOFriendly is conceived to make bloggers more effective and less frustrating in their work. It is also a challenging project to implement due to the magnitude of the project, involving over 60 man-hours R&D efforts, testing and servicing across 4 teams at just 1 location. I love SOF, its SOFriendly!"

CPL(NS) Chao Ah Beng, Chief Blogger of Office Reality TV, said, "The SOFriendly Programme will foster a work environment that encourages innovative use of infocomm in the restricted environment. It will also enable greater access to applications in light of the latest limitations imposed by AiAssDee and rectifications on technological misconfigurations. With the SOFriendly Showcase, bloggers can get to experience the possibilities to come, even as we roll out SOFriendly to the teams."

operation tekan the CTO

operation tekan the CTO (chief tekan officer) commenced on 15 July 2009 at around 4:45 pm GMT+8 and lasted about 15 - 20 min. the operation was initiated by queen and executed zealously by doc ng and supported by ah jek, being the medic most well-trained in the 'art of bondage'.

the videos that were taken...... will not be post here!! (wahahaha!) this is to protect the identity of the victim and especially the tekaners. :P

post-operation

msn conversation with jaja today:

jaja> can you blog this comment from do-man?
jaja> "those inhuman bas***** BWAHAHA"
chao ah beng> he jus asked me for the video
chao ah beng> he also a sick a**hole. haha!!
jaja> double headed snake...
chao ah beng> haha. thiis conversation i can blog also. heehee
jaja> haha go ahead!

conclusions

1. pink raffia string is not a 1-1 replacement for pink ribbon (find out why from the eye witness)
   
2. doc ng can take over jaja's role as the CTO
   
3. there are quite a number of sickos in the team, whether or not they participate in the operation
