An evening with John Chamber and John Mortgridge



I spent a lovely evening with 500 other Cisco employees and spouses, everyone celebrating their 10th year tenure at Cisco Systems. I was there to accompany my husband and it was indeed a lovely evening. John Mortgridge and John Chambers, stayed around to take pictures and catch up with everyone and it was great chatting. Great way to make everyone feel connected and part of the Cisco family. I loved the way spouses were made to feel very welcome indeed.

IDA Singapore in the Bay Area




IDA made a recent trip to the Bay Area to announce their Intelligent Island 2015 vision and to get feedback from individuals and businessees here. It was indeed exciting to see the openess of the government officials as well as the audacity of the vision for Singapore. As an overseas Singaporean, I am indeed excited to contribute to this vision. I have been running an interactive multimedia and communications company in Singapore (http://www.getitcomms.com/) for the last 10 years and a telecom consulting company (http://www.getit.org/) and been commuting between Singapore and the Bay Area since 1998.

Here are some pictures taken at this event and see brief notes on this meeting on www.getit.org.
