Apple fans dazzled by gold iPhone 5s

The new gold-coloured iPhone 5s may have been pooh-poohed by some who were not swayed by its bling factor.
But many Singaporeans appear to have been smitten by the seemingly auriferous handset, which also comes in silver and grey.
A queue for the latest Apple release started as early as 7.45am yesterday at M1's Paragon outlet, with polytechnic student Melva Yip, 23, being the first in line. Local telcos SingTel, M1 and StarHub will start selling the iPhone 5s and the new 5c from today.
Mr Yip told My Paper that he hoped to get his hands on a gold iPhone 5s handset as it is a "nice change" from previous models, which he has in black, white and silver. This is the fourth time he has been first in queue for an iPhone, since the launch of the iPhone 4 in 2010.
Gold iPhone 5s handsets were reportedly sold out in China and Hong Kong after pre-orders began on Tuesday morning.
By 3pm, seven others were in the queue at Paragon, including businessman Alfred Chong, 53, who wanted two gold iPhone 5s handsets - one for himself and the other for his daughter.
He said: "Some think the Apple legacy has expired, but I see the changes as a new beginning."
Netizens reported that the gold iPhone 5s was apparently snapped up within minutes when SingTel opened registrations of interest for the new iPhone.
While this could not be confirmed by SingTel, a spokesman for the telco said it is without doubt that the gold iPhone 5s model is the hottest in demand.
Apple retailers NuBox, iStudio and EpiCentre will start selling iPhone 5c handsets today.
Apple fans My Paper spoke to were less excited about the iPhone 5c, which comes in white, pink, blue, green and yellow.
"It looks less stylish and more fragile because it's plastic," said an 18-year-old student, who gave her name only as Ollivia.

老板不会告诉你的职场秘密

1。绝对不要与公司作对，与老板为敌
相信公司、认同老板的逻辑，是职场中人唯一能做的事，否则你每天都会生活在痛苦及挫折中。公司是用一样的米养著百样的人，不可能让每个员工都满意的，所以，决定用自己的逻辑，定自己的规则。

员工都有权决定自己的去留，但是只要你选择留下，就请相信公司，认同老板，不要站在与公司敌对的立场。



2。老板是不讲理的

老板有一个被所有员工咒骂的特质，那就是不讲理。企业经营由老板指挥大局，要有在石头里挤出水来的意志何情境。关键时刻，老板能讲理吗？经营企业经常面临意外，在非常状况下，讲理是不够用的，老板如果没有不讲理的狠劲与杀气，那公司只能坐以待毙。

记住一句话：合理的要求是训练，不合理的要求是磨练，钢铁般的军人绝对是磨练出来的。



3。老板不是你想像的那么累
一般人只看到老板工作繁忙，压力沉重，并没有看到老板们工作时的自我，老板能“只做我相信的事，只说我相信的话，用自己喜好的方法管理团队”。老板们拥有自我，能自我管理。
有些人工作繁重，但内心却自由而轻鬆；有些人选择轻鬆的工作，却永远受制於人，无法活出真正自我。



4、兼职是只能做不能说的事

一切尽在不言中，大家心照不宣。老板们在意的是，心中不只装著他的公司，还有别的公司。对於兼职，老板们的感觉是“情人眼裡容不下一粒沙子”。所以，你我如果在其他地方兼职，最好别傻乎乎地以為告诉老板，是在跟老板掏心窝，其他是在毁灭自己。

即溶啤酒

朱诺 JUNEAU:
美国阿拉斯加一家专门设计野外活动饮品的业者推出“速溶啤酒”，
只要把水加入“啤酒粉”就能随时欢乐畅饮。
这种神奇的“啤酒粉”预计9月中旬在美国和加拿大上市。
啤酒粉加水后融化，但若要享受跟普通啤酒一样的气泡，
就必需搭配厂商特制的碳酸化杯一起使用。这
家公司不是先酿酒后除去水份，而是从几乎无水的情况下开始酿酒，
并小心控制酿酒环境与发酵程度。
速溶啤酒共有淡啤酒与黑啤酒两种口味，
产品会先在美国与加拿大推出，稍后再到欧洲面市。
