Apple CEO Steve Jobs' $74.75 million net gain from stock options in 2003 puts him second only to Colgate-Palmolive's CEO among executives who received the largest pay packages last year, according to The Wall Street Journal (paid subscription required).
According to the Mercer Human Resource Consulting's annual compensation survey, 145 CEOs in 2003 exercised options for a net gain of $1.91 billion, up from $1.68 billion in 2002. We recently noted that should Apple have had to account for stock options as expenses, it would have turned a loss for the year instead of a profit in 2003.

Apple Board of Directors Announces CEO Compensation

CUPERTINO, California—January 19, 2000—Apple® today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously voted to grant the Company’s CEO Steve Jobs stock options to purchase ten million shares of Apple common stock and to give him a Gulfstream V airplane in recognition of his service to the Company during the past two and a half years.

“Apple’s market cap has risen from less than $2 billion to over $16 billion under Steve’s leadership since his return to the Company two and a half years ago,” said Apple Board member Ed Woolard. “Steve has taken no compensation thus far, and we are therefore delighted to give him this airplane in appreciation of the great job he has done for our shareholders during this period.”

“Steve’s stock options were granted a week ago at the then-market price, and will gain value only as Apple’s stock price rises, to the benefit of all shareholders,” said Apple Board member Jerry York. “This grant reflects Steve’s and the Board’s confidence in the future value of Apple.”
Steve’s salary will remain at $1 per year.

Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Apple is committed to bringing the best personal computing experience to students, educators, creative professionals and consumers around the world through its innovative hardware, software and Internet offerings.

Saturday

Ingredients for a wonderful night:

1. 5 fuckers - Kok Ee, Andrew, YS, Jing How, Kah Fai


2. Cheap drinks - 1 bottle of Chivas + 2 jugs of beer


3. Laughter


4. Scent of a gal

8.45PM

I went to Kok Ee's house after my dinner. After spending about 3 minutes looking for his house, I saw him standing outside his balcony yelling my name. For those who have watched the excellent duan bei shan, he didn't rush down the stairs to share a brokeback moment with me. Kok Ee was having a family gathering that night. I wanted to greet his mom but I couldn't recognise her from the group of aunties.

Anyway, I took a piece of cake and caught up with the unshowered/filthy Kok Ee. Tanned like wood. Trashed talked for a while before he finally removed himself from the computer to shower.

9.00PM

Kok Ee's room has a new TV...I wonder whether there's a dvd player. He told me his cousins were out but they'd be using the room that night, I was curious what they looked like. Preferably like Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li or Maggie Cheung.

I put on Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run album while he chose his clothes - a gf bought t-shirt and dark jeans. I'd like to have a gf bought t-shirt that says "He's yours tonight". Mmmmmm...are you reading this Liv?

9.15PM

Fucking Kok Ee idle here, idle there, iron shirt, taxi driver infront of the mirror but still haven't shower yet.

In the end, he decided to shower in another room so he can have cable on the tv while he showers.

9.30PM

Finally finished showering, went down stairs to find his cousins and a special guest back from the NDP. To my disappointment, his cousins were primary school girls. Maybe when they're older. Out of no where, a gal with European accent dances across the porch (and into my eyes). She said she's from Germany and her name is Linda. I was expecting something like Minne or something.

Linda: So you are Kok Ee's friend. Are you in zee parade?
Me: (simi parade) Parade? National Day Parade?
Linda: Ya...I just watched it, very nice. I like zee fireworks!
Me: (NDP in July? Since when?) Ayyy, yah, nice fireworks. I'm not in the parade.
Linda: Ya ya, so where you going later?

No time to talk too much to her and ask for her hand.

10.00PM - 10.20PM

Taxi + Hyatt Hotel. No details required(they were shittin.. kw and gy lol..). Taxi ride count: 1

10.20PM - 10.45PM

Trashed talk with Kok Ee in another Taxi and reached pub number 1. Andrew Young has a shaved head. Went to scout another pub, Room Full of Blues, but discovered it to be a room full of empty tables and loud music. Taxi ride count: 2

10.45PM - 11.30PM

We met up with KJH at pub number 1, idle for a while and decided to leave as there isn't any female waitress. Kah Fai joined us shortly and we went about looking for alternatives. Fucking CYS still sleeping/wanking at home. Next time must tell him to meet us two hours in advance.

11.30PM - 12.30AM

After much discussion, we decided to go to MIA as there were were cheap drinks and pretty gals.

Talked about various pubs and clubs on the taxi. Madam Wong's closed, Double O has too many one kind... Taxi ride count: 3

12:30PM - 1 AM

CYS finally met us at MIA but to our horror we discovered that place had C L O S E D! So much for the cheap drinks and hot gals. Walked around, ignored Andrew's complains about hunger and Bak Kut Teh.

Stood outside Madam Wong's to discuss where to go next. Kok Ee had to comment in surprise that Madam Wong's is closed. Must be dreaming in the taxi.

Embarked to Circular Road, Shin Bar. Taxi ride count: 4

1AM - 1.15AM

Shin Bar was packed with patrons and also skimpy dressed gals. Perfect place for 6 decent boys. But no seats. Can you imagine us holding a bottle, ice, mixer and glasses respectively?

Out of fustration, we decided to go into this empty looking pub called something Connex. But before this, there was an short Indian man walking slowly outside the pub. He looked like one of those druggies you find on Russell St. all the time. I kept my distance as the Melb ones tend to get a little mental. I have no idea why Andrew kept staring at him. Unexpectedly the Indian man waved and fucking Andrew just couldn't resist the urge to wave back.

Kah Fai: Ey, your friend ah?

Fucking shit. How can a 40 year old Indian man be Andrew's friend? We're all laughing out pants off at that time. We waited for that scary looking guy to be out of the connex thing before going in.

1.15AM - 2.30AM

Placed the drinks orders and began our usual pub talk. Life + Love + Future + Shit

They couldn't believe I'm actually the lead singer of Santiago. Fuckers.

Lots of picture taking. Note: Take the pics from Jing How

Looking at the girls working at the bar, I had a feeling this connex thing is a lesbian bar. The girls couldn't keep their hands off each other. There was a slutty waitress flirting with fat white man. Non lesbian but 100% disgusting and annoying.

Andrew and the rest kept wanting to ask other girls to join our table and share our drinks. We cannot support free loaders man. They should go get their own table and drinks then come over to our table.

The connex shit was damn stingy and decided to turn off the electricity at 2.20PM. No music, no air-con, all we had was Thai. I took the left over Chivas and we left that horrible connex.

Memorable Quotes:

Yao Sheng (after drinking beer): WAH FUCK BRAIN FREEZE! Wait, I think I don't have a brain.

Jing How: Maybe God gave us a sign not to go to that place through that Indian man.

2.30AM - 3.00AM

Andrew went to party with his friends while the rest went to Kok Ee's house. 3 + 2 split cab.

Kok Ee + Me = Political discussion

the rest = YS's muddy comment

Reached Kok Ee's house, went to practise some swimming strokes on the floor and his mother almost caught me taking off my jeans. A moment of madness. Taxi ride count: 5

3.00AM - 4.30AM

Germany VS Portugal. Linda joined us to watch the match. T-shirt and short short shorts give Spruce the hot hot hots.

One by one they fell asleep.

Kah Fai started making dao huay after 10 minutes. Followed by Kok Ee and then YS. Kok Ee went into mini rage mode when we woke him up to celebrate the goals. I twired the german jersey Linda gave him above my head maradona style.

Halfway throught the match, Kok Ee woke up and told us what happened in the match (in his dream), about how costinha received the ball from Deco and scored a beautiful goal. Then he fell back to sleep instantly.

After the match, I stole the blanket Linda was using to wrap myself like a cocoon. Ahhhhh...the scent of a gal. Reizende!

And the rest of them froze.

Memorable Moments:

Me: Beemer looks like Philip Lahm.
Kah Fai: Ey, Kok Ee, so Linda is your Uncle's daughter?
Me: Your head la. It's like saying Venket is Andrew young's son.
Jing How: Yah la, fuck. Yesterday you even say the indian guy is Andrew's friend. You make dao huay too much already.
Kah Fai: Fuck la, so how, still haven't answer my question.
Me: Linda is Kok Ee's cousin.
Kah Fai: OHHH! So that means she's....

Kok Ee was singing tong hua on KTV
Me: No wonder the girl is like that.

Lee Shen Jie's MV was on
Kok Ee: I want to sing this song to my gf.
Jing How: This song is about how the girl left him for another guy.
YS: (Name witheld)'s chinese cmi. She also cannot understand.

Kok Ee's uncle @ 9AM: BEEMER BEEMER CHU LAI CHU LAI COME OUT!

Me: What if the scent from Linda's blanket is actually from Kok Ee's uncle?

Me: I can fit into Linda's pink slippers! Cinderella man.
Jing How: I think the slippers is kok ee's uncle's.
Kah Fai: Linda so tall, should have huge feet

After looking for green tea for 3 minutes,
Jing How: Kok Ee's fridge every shit tea also got, red tea, blueberry tea, chinese tea, english tea. Fuck, the most important green tea don't have.

Me: Linda's name is Linda. I was expecting something more german.
Jing How: Michael Ballack's name is also Michael what.

Kok Ee: Ey YS, remember the time we all cook?
Yaosheng: Yah, fucking fun. Mee goreng!
Kah Fai: Instant noodles.
