Huygens Asia office tour

Huygens Asia is the surveillance solutions provider and systems integrator that I work with. This is our soon-to-be ex-office (we're moving end of this month) at Jalan Padungan. The office is being shifted to a place of our own in 2 1/2 Mile in Kuching as well as a simultaneous move to setup a branch office in KL (will be going there soon to oversee operations). This is a write-up of the office that I've been working in for nearly two years.

The current office in Jalan Padungan is shared with AT&A Home Ideas, an interior design firm (which is kinda like our sister company). We're on the first floor while they occupy the ground and third floor (yes, there is a third floor, much to my initial surprise). This is the back entrance that we usually use as the car park is located there. Notice the surveillance cameras mounted at the front and back of the office? There's a lot more inside. ;)

Let me give you a tour of this office and its inhabitants before we move...this is the back doors that we usually go into after parking our cars at the car park located behind. There's no parking in front, only stop-over parking lots.

The doors leads to the back room of AT&A...

...and we go straight through until we're near the front show room of AT&A.

This is where we make a right and walk up the stairs to the first floor. Notice the mirror? It's very useful for checking yourself out before you walk into the office. Just don't drown in the reflection. ;)

We make a left at the stairs that leads up to...the Huygens Asia signboard.

This is Huygens Asia Sdn. Bhd. The door leads to...

an array of video conferencing units (which we're not selling anymore) and surveillance cameras (which we're still selling).

The view pans to more surveillance cameras, an IT rack, and moving right...

...the reception.

This is Penny, who usually seats there.

This is Alex on the technical workbench.

Here's the technical support staff...and moving on, we head into...

The inner office which is currently occupied by the CTO, Marketing Manager and System Engineer (that's me).

This is the workplace which I occupy between the hours of 8 am to 6 pm (usually). I like this place for the sole reason that my back is against the wall. This allows me the luxury of being able to see most of the office but not vice versa. ;)

This is me wearing a smirk that you'll love to punch out of my face for having my monitor and notebook facing backwards, and thus allowing me to do whatever I want (such as updating this blog) without anyone noticing. ;)

The current Huygens Asia office is rented from Angel of AT&A. We'll be moving out to our own office space in 2 1/2 Mile, Kuching (near the 3rd Mile Bazaar) and opening up a branch office in KL at the end of this month.

You can access the various (12 - count them!) real time IP surveillance systems that we've put up in the office at the official Huygens Asia website [huygensasia.com]. Please feel free to surreptiously watch me at work if you feel a burning need to do so. There are multiple demo surveillance systems that allow you to do so. Oh, and purchase a GPRS/EDGE surveillance unit [huygensasia.com] while you're at it - it's my ticket to London. :p
