Congratulations to Phui San aka Alysa, our web designer at Exabytes, who has won the Grand Prize in the recent Kwong Wah Yit Poh Logo Design Competition!
Phui San was quick to emerge to fame, after beating a total of more than 200 entries before snatching the Grand Prize from the rest! While all of us at Exabytes were quick to congratulate her on her winning, she was also quick to offer to treat us to one of the most sumptuous meals in town. “I’m going to allocate 10% of my prize money for charity donations”, she was also quoted as saying.
Her design, which resembles a big and a small circle, signifies her idea of vast coverage of Kwong Wah Yit Poh from tiny family matters to major national news.
Certainly, all of us at Exabytes are thrilled and excited about her winning, and once again, congratulations to you Phui San!
Jom makan! Call it potluck, Jacob’s supper or bring-a-plate, Exabytes’ potluck lunch is underway… Oops! Sorry, I mean it was underway, as the atmosphere was so heart-warming and delightful as seen in the photos, we hardly realize that it has already passed!
KM Chow with his usual sushi rolls, KY Chan with her famous tuna and egg sandwiches, Popoyan with her eat-at-your-own-risk potato salad, etc etc. If you happen to walk into the office and see everyone devouring their favourite food and gulping down their favourite drinks, you will probably be asking yourself “Why is everyone having a food gathering out of the blue?” Yes, this is Exabytes kind of potluck, a heart-warming occasion in which everyone is tucking in gracelessly and chatting borderlessly, not to mention Marccus the newcomer with his victory sign fingers which symbolizes he has successfully conquered his quest for food, while holding a plate of pizza in his left hand.
And indeed, this is a meaningful gathering after all the sweat and effort all this while, and perhaps a fun kind of way to welcome all the newcomers once again to the big family of Exabytes!

Introduction
ASP.NET MVC web application framework
ASP.NET MVC is a free and fully supported Microsoft framework for building web applications that use a model-view-controller pattern. Like ASP.NET Web Forms, ASP.NET MVC is built on the ASP.NET framework.
ASP.NET MVC provides the following benefits:
1. Provides complete control over your HTML mark up
2. Enables rich AJAX integration
3. Intuitive website URLs; views can be mapped to REST-friendly URLs.
4. Clear separation of concerns which results in web applications that are easier to maintain and extend over time.
5. Testability – including support for test-driven development.
The ASP.NET MVC Framework uses a Model-view-controller pattern. Microsoft added this framework to ASP.NET. It allows software developers to build a Web application as a composition of three roles: Model, View and Controller. A Model represents the state of a particular aspect of the application. Frequently, a model maps to a database table with the entries in the table representing the state of the table. A Controller handles interactions and updates the model to reflect a change in state of the application. A View extracts necessary information from a model and renders a user interface to display that.

Time flies and it’s again time for us to crown and pass the magic wand to this month’s EOTM! Even though we are excited to reveal who the honorable individual is, let me save you the suspense and furnish you with some traceable hints!
• She got whole body ache after her first time sauna
• She is Exabytes’ Santa Claus once a month
• She has access to anywhere within our office
Sensing the improbability of hiding it some more, let’s put our hands together for our EOTM for June 2009, Ms Chan Kee Yeong! Even if the night is dark and the water is cold, even if the air-con is freezing and the atmosphere is chilly, none of these matters as we have the most warm-hearted lady in the house, who is always so helpful, extremely generous and kind at heart. Versatile in nature, she is extremely well-versed in multitasking. Highly organized and meticulous in every detail, she possesses great organizational skills in every aspect. In spite of all the positive qualities mentioned, she has more than what it takes to be this month’s EOTM:
• Highly responsible
• Fast and efficient
• Friendly
• Communicate well with team members
• Willing to work overtime
• Excellent Punctuality
Respectable and gracefully poised in her own way, she is undoubtedly our deserving heroine this month and once again, Congratulations to you Ms Chan!
