This is our 2nd Techsailor Tuesday!
Rex was in Singapore for the week and Wayne is back from Australia with lots of chocolatey goodies, that's why we have decided to have another Techsailor Tuesday! on the same month in July! Without further ado, here are the highlights of Techsailor Tuesday! (14 July 2009).


The news of Michael Jackson's death rippled through the office on June 25. And so to pay a tribute to the King of Pop, Fisher shared with us his favourite MV of MJ. Ghosts. This is the longest MV i have ever seen. The interesting bits were at the end where they show the making of the MV. It's amazing that MJ takes on so many different roles and i never would have guessed it was him behind all those make-up!

Techsailor Tuesday on a Wednesday!

Techsailor Tuesday! is a monthly sharing session for the sailors to showcase their talents or interests to their colleagues. You can call it "15 minutes of fame" as each person only has 15 minutes to present. This is a fun and interactive session for us to chill out, wind down and have a chance to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for their fellow sailors. Any subject goes, and in any manner or style. Whether by online media ( showing video clips, powerpoint presentation etc...) or physical items ( a book, musical instruments etc...).  At Techsailor, we love to share and inspire and we not only share within ourselves, we hope to share it with the rest of the world too!

Our very first Techsailor Tuesday happened to be on a Wednesday (1st July 2009)! So why do we call it "Techsailor Tuesday!" and not Wednesday? or Friday? We all know it's not easy to come up with a name, that everyone would agree on. It's no rocket science but it still takes some brain power ( and death of a few brain cells ) to come up with a "one-hit-fits-all-name". So here goes...

  • First, the lesser the syllables, the easier it is to pronounce it. So that leaves us with Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.  
  • Second, we don't work on Sundays ( well, some of us still do... but that's not compulsory).  
  • Third, we wanted a phase that rhymes. And it seems like days starting with the letter "T" fits best. So we are left with Tuesday and Thursday!  
  • And lastly, why Tuesday and not Thursday? Well... it's all comes down to something I called "feeling". The word Tuesday just feels better with Techsailor than Thursday. No?!?! Oh well, no more debates. Techsailor Tuesday it is! *evil laughs*.

Let's get on with the show! The attendees for Techsailor Tuesday! (1st July 2009) are Wayne, Leon, An, Gennie, Rujie, Yee Ling and yours truly (Ling). Since i'm the creator of Techsailor Tuesday!, i had the honor of kicking start the show...
