Since Flavert/Weddingkami work remotely in every own spaces, we need few stuff like virtual whiteboards or service to share project updates.

I think both of the things above explain it all about Mobile Office / Office Kami

Yesterday after going for workshop to have Anubis’s scheduled maintenance ( Engine Oil + Gear Oil ), went to JCo Damansara Utama waiting for meeting with my client. Still have 3 hours before it so I decide to ‘mobile office’ at JCo Giant Damansara Utama.

Guess what I found? JCo print out their tissue to be useful ones – as a note.

This is one of the practice that my previous lecturer always said about it.

if you’ve been following my twitter or my YM status, you’ll discover that i always said ‘Mobile Office’. Today, it’s the 18th.
