Those victims of downsizing who do end up launching their own businesses will have no shortage of role models. Michael Bloomberg, Steve Jobs and Michael Dell are just a few of today’s business behemoths who were thrown out of a job at some point in their careers. Like them, some of 2009’s crop of corporate outcasts will go on to prove that triumph—and millions of newly minted jobs—can be born out of adversity.
Martin Giles: senior business correspondent, The Economist
For I have been hurt by my former employer which has lowered my spirit of self development and my ambition. Today I have a friend who tell me not to give up and continue my ambition without regret for what the past did to me. Yes I will, and I will conquer and prove him I'm better than he is.
Met some crazy driver and got some un-eventful rumour on work place, prejudicing is not a good thing to do..
Use it as an Internet device where u use to blog and update facebook and web surfing? Haha
SAN JOSE, Calif. — At Super Micro Computer, cartons of parts are often stacked in the parking lot, exposed to the elements. The 15-year-old computer maker has grown to 850 employees but still tracks orders the old-fashioned way, relying on sales representatives to monitor each step from assembly to shipping.
On Saturdays, a family-style lunch is served to workers as a token of thanks for workdays that can stretch to 15 hours.
And Charles Liang, the company’s co-founder and chief executive, obsesses over every detail of the business, from approving the custom orders that are the company’s specialty to dictating the environmentally themed, green neckties that executives wear to customer meetings.
Despite its peculiarities, Super Micro is a thriving, publicly traded business that sells about $600 million a year of servers to the likes of eBay and Yahoo. More often than not, the company beats rivals to market by three to six months, offering the fastest, most compact, energy-efficient computers to demanding corporate and institutional customers. It has managed to post annual sales growth exceeding 20 percent in recent years, and its stock has outperformed competitors like Rackable Systems and Sun Microsystems.
Super Micro reflects the passion and quirks of Mr. Liang, an immigrant from Taiwan, who is considered so vital to the operation that the company warns investors in regulatory filings that his loss could derail the company’s business, culture and strategic direction.
“He is the person who approves and looks at everything the company is doing — every new product, marketing effort, sales effort, anything you want to do or promote,” said Scott Barlow, who was manager of American sales at Super Micro before leaving to join Salesforce.com. “He is kind of a one-man show.”
Current and former employees describe Mr. Liang with reverence that borders on the cultish. “It’s almost as if Charles wills things to happen,” said Don Clegg, a vice president. “If he says a product will be on schedule, it will be on schedule. This is not driven on fear. It’s driven on belief.”
At the heart of everything Super Micro are two principles: give customers what they want, and do it as fast as humanly possible.
Whereas rivals long ago sent key design work to Asia to take advantage of cheaper, plentiful labor, Super Micro still relies on hundreds of expensive engineers working at its San Jose headquarters. These workers are charged with grabbing the latest and greatest components from suppliers and coming up with new designs months ahead of lumbering heavyweights like Hewlett-Packard and Dell.
“As an individual, Charles is very aggressive and motivated,” said Patrick P. Gelsinger, Intel’s senior vice president in charge of server chips. “Every once in a while, he appears on the verge of reckless, but if you’re going up against the big guys, you have to be willing to take risks.”
The company has become the lead manufacturer that Intel uses for showcasing new products, and rivals often relabel and ship systems built by Super Micro until they can come up with their own designs that accommodate the latest chips. “They are ready to move and move quick,” Mr. Gelsinger said.
Super Micro’s quick turnaround times and sophisticated products have allowed it to grab some loyal and large customers, like the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, which purchases tens of thousands of servers each year.
“We’re usually trying to buy the latest and greatest stuff, and they typically have new technology first,” said Mark Seager, head of advanced computing at the lab. “This helps us maximize the bang for our buck.”
In order to produce gear at such a quick clip, Super Micro asks a lot of its workers. It’s quite common for employees to arrive just after 7 in morning and stay until 10 p.m., coming in on weekends as well. Mr. Liang himself regularly works seven days a week, saying “every hour is a happy hour, or least every day is a happy day.”
Mr. Liang has run the firm alongside his wife and company treasurer, Chiu-Chu Liu, known as Sara, since it started as a five-person operation in 1993.
The insular, family-run approach is typical of traditional Chinese business culture, said AnnaLee Saxenian, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who has studied immigrant-run businesses in Silicon Valley. “It echoes back to a very traditional Chinese business model, where you have the family-run farm,” she said. “It’s all about trust and how you save money.”
One of Super Micro’s main Taiwanese manufacturing partners, Ablecom, is run by Mr. Liang’s brother, Steve Liang. Charles Liang and his wife own close to 31 percent of Ablecom, while Steve Liang and other members of the family own close to 50 percent.
Regulatory filings show that “a substantial majority” of Ablecom’s sales come from Super Micro. And while Super Micro pays most suppliers within 81 days, it will sometimes take up to 118 days to pay Ablecom, which houses components and regularly renegotiates prices with Super Micro.
“There are some funky, inter-family ownership questions that I would prefer didn’t exist,” said Alex Kurtz, a securities analyst with Merriman Curhan Ford, though he praised the company for disclosing a fair amount about the relationship.
Super Micro has some other rough edges, too. The lack of order-tracking software forces sales representatives to spend valuable time making sure systems are built and shipped, and they often squabble over who owns particular accounts.
The company’s poor controls also contributed to its violation of a United States embargo against the sale of computer systems to Iran. In 2006, Super Micro pleaded guilty to a felony charge and paid a $150,000 fine.
“We were a new company and didn’t know every regulation,” Mr. Liang said. “Now, we are well trained and watch over this 24 hours a day.” Mr. Liang added that Super Micro was improving its order-tracking system and might consider purchasing process management software.
Despite the global economic slump, Super Micro could enjoy a sales spurt over the next few months as Intel and Advanced Micro Devices release new server processors and the company races to design machines that use them to full advantage, according to analysts.
And those green ties? At Mr. Liang’s request, sales representatives wear them to meetings as a symbol of the company’s energy-conserving hardware. Text on the ties boasts that Super Micro’s products are “earth friendly” and lead to nothing less than “better life.”

Since when I have started to go out on Friday night? Since I'm 17 year-old, every Friday is my night, I go out yam cha and have fun with my friends. How many years since then? 23 - 17 = 6.
6 YEARS man! And today I have to stay til 12 am just to bloody demo to the client.. How could I spend my night waiting for client at U.S. for the bloody demo?
duh.......
Today is a very good day. All the malay I saw today is witha smiling face and humble attitude. I do think if this continue our country will become more and more prosper. No racism, no discrimination, no seperation of color ski, will bring a brighther future for us and for our next generation.
Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin!!
I have this feeling that I hate hypocrite. Who doesn't?
I just hate people poking my back in front of other people. Oh please. If you don't like me then stay away from me. Not poking me in front of my friends. You see, I have tried not to mention anyone's problem and I tend to stay away from other people complex friendship or relationship or what-so-ever-ship. If you are not happy with this attitude. Well. I think you are just plain selfish and childish. I like Chinese idioms, especially this;
祸从口出
For those who don't know Chinese let me help you translate using Yahoo translate
祸从口出 = Careless talk makes trouble.
I have no idea if you have no good feeling over me or something but if it really so then we have to always ask ourselves if we have did something wrong? Well I can proudly say.. I did nothing wrong.. I have no idea if you have any. All I know is that stop poking people.
RESPECT PEOPLE IF YOU WANT PEOPLE RESPECT YOU.
That's all. Night everyone.
Yes it's middle of the night now. I guess I just like to post entry during the night time?
Hahahahahaha
Hari raya is coming and I got holidays from Wednesday til Monday. Date me anyone?
Been damn hectic these week. Not sure what I do for all these hectic life.
After getting few days of thinking, I have started to learn that a person without EQ and IQ hardly survive or I shouldn't say that survive. I shall say excel in life.
I have been thinking what can I do with my current skill... Can I run my own business? Can I get a lot of money?
I guess.. my skill is not that good yet. To survive in IT? To excel in IT? I fairly impossible with my current skill when I come across with all the stuff I have never really thought of..
So I have decided to continue upgrading myself in IT first.. before stepping it to other path way.. I know it's a hard way. I know how to talk about great plan, but non of it succeed so far. I have brilliant ideas, but non of it seems to be feasible when put it to run.
What's the meaning of just talking and without doing? It's just plain useless. Not to further mention that I failed to handle my paternal family problem which I promised myself to handle it. I am just plain useless and lazy.
Some people might think enjoying now is a good choice. Though I do think somehow we need to enjoy ourselves. But somehow.. I felt I have been wasting my time.. As mentioned a lot of times to myself.
Time and tide wait for no one.
I believe this world do have karma. I wonder why... These buzzing sound always talk bad behind people? It's very true that
"When everyone start to avoid you, you shall think it is you are the root of all problem?"
Well I guess so.... I am now 23, I do believe friends are just friends. I do believe there's nothing like eternal brother. I will not say that people do not like me and if they do not like me, I will think is it because of myself? What I did wrong? Did I do the same thing to them b4? I do not want to be a childish boy.
Any way.. It is time to grow up.
Be a mature guy. Let's continue our journey of life!
Tomorrow is a better day! Oh yea! My client is quite happy with the solution implemented. But somehow changes are inevitable. Nitex!
Yes, I have decided. Just give me another six month to build what is necessary for myself, yes I am bloody selfish. Whatsoever. I don't mind. I don't want to do what I do not wish or hoped for.
It seems that I have neglected my blog, and promises are not fulfilled yet. www.allanchoong.com is still not up and so.
Recently I am not really happy with my working environment. I need to wake up early in the morning to rush back to work and work til late night. It's just lifeless.
I am not sure if this will benefit me or not. The feeling has come back again asking me what am I doing right now?
Sigh..
YES!!!! TOMORROW IS THE DAY I HAVE WAITED FOR 23 YEARS!!!
I will post every pic i take, that's my promise!
Yes I am pretty pissed now.
If you have no confidence in my skill then don't let me handle that stuff.
I don't live based on that little task! Stop bugging me on this stupid stuff.
I help because I still treat you as friend. To help you but you doubt my skill then sorry. I'm not going help anymore.
Being a good fella is not always an option.
Pizzed!
I wonder if people nowadays at road still know how to respect the road safety..
1. People whose car has no third brake light shall not drive on the road.
2. Youngster who think you are like too-fast-too-furious Paul Walker, do you think your car can fly? Back to the earth won't you?
3. Get you yourself know what is HID. White color light is not HID.
Haihz....
I am happy for finishing the 85% of the farking thing within 4 days, I am disappointed that he gives me a perception that seems I am still lacking, in fact it has fasten up to 2 weeks.
Sad case...
It's really boring to have a routine life, it's boring to have no partners, I might start searching again..
Sometimes I think it's pretty easy to be a boss and yes it is indeed very easy. But it is very hard to be a good boss. From my working environment I can see two type of bosses. One is the "Chinaman" boss and another is "Modernized Boss". I pretty believe that people nowadays have different mindset and people need freedom to perform their best at work.
I'm not sure why there are still perception that "if you are not doing your job then you are not working" kind of thinking. It's pretty.................. unacceptable (at least for me). Seriously, to think of it, one might get inspired from the non-working related material and might boost their working moral and their performance too.
Being too calculative with your employees too gonna cost you a lot. Serious. Sometimes I think it's better to give more benefit to the employees and they will be more dedicated with their work and help you a lot more. Hahaha well that's my opinion, and that's what I see from my boss and my boss gf (who also is a boss). Old times bosses shall change in order to success...
Ok.. In conjunction of fathers' day... I come up with one post.
Listen, son: I am saying this as you lie asleep, one little paw crumpled under your cheek and the blond curls stickily wet on your damp forehead. I have stolen into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago, as I sat reading my paper in the library, a stifling wave of remorse swept over me. Guilty I come to your bedside.
There are the things I was thinking, son: I had been cross to you. I scolded you as you were dressing for school because you gave your face merely a dab with a towel. I took you to task for not cleaning your shoes. I called out angrily when you threw some of your things on the floor.
At breakfast I found fault, too. You spilled things. You gulped down your food. You put your elbows on the table. You spread butter too thick on your bread. And as you started off to play and I made for my train, you turned and waved a hand and called, "Goodbye, Daddy!" and I frowned, and said in reply, "Hold your shoulders back!"
Then it began all over again in the late afternoon. As I came Up the road, I spied you, down on your knees, playing marbles. There were holes in your stockings. I humiliated you before you boyfriends by marching you ahead of me to the house. Stockings were expensive - and if you had to buy them you would be more careful! Imagine that, son, form a father!
Do you remember, later, when I was reading in the library, how you came in timidly, with a sort of hurt look in your eyes? When I glanced up over my paper, impatient at the interruption, you hesitated at the door. "What is it you want?" I snapped.
You said nothing, but ran across in one tempestuous plunge, and threw your arms around my neck and kissed me, and your small arms tightened with an affection that God had set blooming in your heart and which even neglect could not wither. And then you were gone, pattering up the stairs.
Well, son, it was shortly afterwards that my paper slipped from my hands and a terrible sickening fear came over me. What has habit been doing to me? The habit of finding fault, of reprimanding - this was my reward to your for being a boy. It was not that I did not love you; it was that I expected too much of youth. I was measuring you by the yardstick of my own years.
And there was so much that was good and fine and true in your character. The little heart of you was as big as the dawn itself over the wide hills. This was shown by your spontaneous impulse to rush in and kiss me good night. Nothing else matters tonight, son. I have come to your bedside in the darkness, and I have knelt there, ashamed!
It is a feeble atonement; I know you would not understand these things if I told them to you during your waking hours. But tomorrow I will be a real daddy! I will chum with you, and suffer when you suffer, and laugh when you laugh. I will bite my tongue when impatient words come. I will keep saying as if it were a ritual: "He is nothing buy a boy - a little boy!"
I am afraid I have visualized you as a man. Yet as I see you now, son, crumpled and weary in your cot, I see that you are still a baby. Yesterday you were in your mother's arms, your head on her shoulder. I have asked too much, too much.
By W. Livingston Larned
It's just................................ heart touching article....................
This is a short one though, nothing much but I find that sometimes people are just selfish! Don't you think so? I do think so! END!!
Can you imagine that's your brother? I'd imagine.... I'm so helpless..... I have no idea what can I do..
A lovely girl..... gone through all the suffering and has exchanged her face for her life....... Can you feel her? I only able to feel she felt hopeless... Nothing can be done.... I really feel the "sour" in my heart.
What if the injured lady is your mummy? I cry when thinking of that....................... I'm not sure how can I live on..... If it's really happen to me..
This sobbing man is hoping that her daughter can recover from her unconsciousness, can you see how these innocent child taken away from the cruelty of natural disaster? They have no mercy at all. No tolerance at all............
Do I need to say more?
For those who always waste their food..... Please read the sentence below the above picture...
I feel that I leng zai d! LOL
The admin clerk at my office, was actually wanted to capture the environment instead
This is how it looks like, outside is even nicer! Very romantic.
The yummy seafood! I like the prawn there! juicy!
Isn't she's cute? HAHAHAIt almost three months since working, what have I gain from working there? Do I really want to do programming? I am lost actually, it might be true like how he says, I do need to learn from ground up but then how long more can I sustain?
Today he shows me another great portfolio resume, he's two year elder than me, but have tonnes of experience that I don't have! Whatever you can think of, he has it. That really motivate me to surpass him in 2 year?
Nothing to crap more....
WAHAHA My blog went up to 101st post!
YEAH YEAH YEAH
How was today? It's a................................................................ below average day.
Suppose to think that web development is an easy job, but it's a hell no... What's more with the upcoming project? I'm a little lost track.. I feel so incapable since losing the very first client and unable to finish the first project handled by me.
For a person who hate to lose like me, this isn't something that will makes me happy. What can I do? I also don't know man.. It's just plain...... hard to accept. B4 this I thought I can finish every job up to quality but it's always sub quality. I just can't take it anymore. I need to upgrade my working quality.
I vow to help my dad in administration but yet.. I have not start..
I vow to continue my FYP but I procrastinate...
I vow to finish my task properly.. but I failed..
But I am no failure! I will bounce back and face the up coming challenge.
Sometimes I wonder if it's because the environment that has weaken me? Or I am just plain lazy? Sometimes I do think that my physical health is a contraint.. I am just giving myself too much reasons!
I'LL BE BACK!!! I WILL FIND A SOLUTION! FOR SURE!
YAWN......
Nothing to update...
K la.. just kidding,
Where have I been recently? While all the time I am at office learning new things. I wonder if the biggest fears I predicted last time has really come true, actually this scenario has also brought me into my BIT course. But nevertheless I believe I have made all my decision correctly. Even after entering Juz-IT, though it is small, but I do learn freaking lots of new IT stuff that never have a chance to come across last time. I'm like losing my social life le.. everyday after work will just go home, it's very very very very bored! I think I shall come with something new! HOHOHO
Today I went to the Microsoft 2008 product launching event, pictures? Don't have le.. Allan has a pariah phone and paiseh to take it out to show everyone :P Microsoft is seriously damn geng! You will not able to imagine what things they wanted to do with the IT market. I personally think they are trying to take over the whole IT industry.
How about my co? Hahaha there will be changes after April, more and more people will come in, and I will get the position I desired. Feasible or not? I'm not sure, but as usual, "If you think you can, you can!" Now I'm thinking of getting a new laptop, shall I? Or shall I not? Boss is going to US, shall I ask him to get me an iPhone or shall I wait for the iPhone with firmware 2.0?
HOW HOW HOW?
Let's don't think that much.. I think I shall go sleep now and have a better tomorrow! :P

How am I doing at office, as usual lo, whoever who has programming subject in college will know it's just a never ending learning process in programming world, furthermore it is not an easy job to make a fully functional and nice website. Seriously, though there is no pretty women in the office and has little colleague, I'm quite happy with the life here because I do learn a lot of things. Guess what?! The American company has accepted the proposal I did (Of course there are alteration by my boss), and boss is going to fly off to US for requirement gathering! LOL

Hmm.... so how's life at Juz-IT? Erm.. I think I have joined the right company for having such a capable boss, seriously I have always think I am quite capable for my level and believe I am among the elites, but that's seriously not when I met my boss and his gf, both of them are so capable, that they able to humble me! Last time I can say my lecturers stupid, no brain, no capable, but I don't even dare to say that or even think of it to my boss.
What have I been doing in the office? I spent most of my time reading, seriously reading. Trying to build a website using opensource software. It's really hard for a person who pro Microsoft for so many years to adapt to opensource, but research has shown that opensource does gaining the market of business around the world.
My boss also planning to venture into i-Phone software development. (not sure if he's kidding)
The coming project after a month will be web-based ERP. That's challenging man!
Nothing to update anymore, tired and sleepy.
NiteX
Yesterday when I was driving back to my house after finish yam cha.. to my horror, I don't dare to drive that fast anymore, seriously!
While driving back home using Grand Saga Link, there's this highway ranger trying to bottle neck the highway pushing the car towards slow lane, firstly I thought must be for the purpose of hanging the election banner or something, then I saw police car there, second thought is sure don't know what kind of traffic block, then when I go further I saw a wrecked car at the fast lane, then I thought surely some asshole speed like speed demon without any experience and banged the divider, come on... let's face it that no matter how you mod your car, it's still a Proton if it's a Proton.
Then there's the policemen, directly the cars to go further to slow lane, this is the very first time I see policemen controlling the traffic, and it's midnight 245 am, then I thought must be the policemen want to preserve the particles on the floor, then when I go further........
I saw...............
A bloody leg! HEY! Just one leg ok?!
It's creepy!
One bloody leg seperated from the body! I didn't see anybody there.. but there's one leg! LEG you know!
LEG!
LEG that just like drumstick on the floor!
So what's the lesson?
Don't drive fast, a car is meant for taking you from A to B! Not driving like Hamilton! What's more? When there's mat rempit or whatever motorcycle trying to take over you, just let them.
You don't want to cause a person to lost his leg right?
Let's don't speed and be tolerate each other on the road.. k?
Emotionally not really hype up.
Not sure why.. maybe because some wira bastard who don't know the risk of driving recklessly
Birthday coming.. What shall I get for myself le?
Celebrate or not le?
Celebrate with friends?
Can I finish my first assignment in time le?
Will boss happy with it or not le?
Haihz... sleep earlier better...

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1,
While I have been criticizing SE for lack of creativity and innovative creation, here they come up with a brand new branding line up XPERIA! I guess this is the phone I want! 3" Touch Screen! QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi, 3.0 MP camera! And most importantly it no longer using their own UIQ Symbian OS, and use Window Mobile Pro!!
HAHAHA I want I want! (Have not release though)
So my temporary solution is still Nokia E61i :P
It's been a while man!!
I have been posting all short post to keep my blog updated.
Now it's time for update what I have been doing for the past 4 days. :P
30th Night,
After updated my blog I went to temple for blessing ceremony, which compulsory to attend every year. Actually this ceremony is something I don't like to go when I was young because it's seriously boring and it took my time away from the TV where all the show is showing, especially when the local TV station show "Wong Fei Hong" when I was still young :P
Come back home around 330 am, don't ask me what I did there, it's hard to explain here, I can just say... blessing ceremony :)
1st Day,
Wake up around 1 something, well this year mum did not cock in the early morning. This year she exceptionally cooked at noon! Hahaha nothing to do on the first day then I go back to sleep straight after eating the first meal, til 7 pm. I told you it's bloody headache and unpleasant feel to wake up from noon nap. Just don't like the feeling!! Took my bath and then wait time to pass to go MV, Yes Yes Yes! Mid Valley one the first night on CNY! Just to watch CJ7! It's a nice show!! Worth watching compared to Kung Fu Dunk!
