and yes, today’s the meeting with nokia’s regional marketing people.
our initial plan of using the huge car decal didn’t work due to some technical difficulties (the fucking touchscreen screwed up!) so we had to use a spare piece intended for another event for this presentation.
everything was in a rush and we ended up forgetting to bring along the usb keyboard for the mini mac, had to settle for a laptop instead of the mini mac.
everything went smooth until the last part, some bitch walked in and declared that she saw the touchscreen technology last year and it was $25 a piece.
felt like slapping her there and then, how dare she claims my uk imported patented touchscreen that cost $5000 or more a cheap taiwanese copy that probably wouldn’t work after 6 months.
luckily her words didn’t affect the mood of the others much and the majority of them (i think) went out of the meeting room with a deep impression on the product.
nokia’s office was actually at the same building as microsoft’s office, the same office i’ve worked for a couple of years back. zhilong was still in microsoft so decided to call him down to catch up with each other.
had a nice long chat before joining back with charlie and trond and had some snacks at the new eatery, i just got my pay so decided to give them both a little treat.
it was already late so we didn’t have to go back to office but that also means that trond isn’t going towards jurong, had to alight at bona vista and took a bus from there.
