My first class

My first Mandarin class.

I was so worried when I was told that I had to do it alone today, but luckily everything went fine. Thanks to all the participants for their active feedback and responses.

In spite of giving a training, I would rather say that it's a sharing session. Sharing what I know and my experience. I don't really know how to train people actually, but what I can do is just to share what I've done for the past 5 years.

Before I joined the team, I was doubt of my ability and skills being a trainer, which is part of my job scope. But now, it seems that I'm comfortable with it. However, it might just because I have a group of nice participants -- although only 4 of them. It's a small class for sure, but at least it won't give me so much pressure.

Tomorrow is the last day of the training, I'm not sure if I have delivered what I'm supposed to, just hope that at least they could bring something out from my class, then I'll be satisfied with it. Not to say how I've helped them to improve, just to let them have an idea how it works and how they can learn it by themselves after this.

Beauty or Health?

I read a really scary news today, a guy in his 30's, has signed up for a weight loss programme, but at the end, what left on his body is all the terrible and scary-looking wounds on his waist. And there are many other cases also tell the fact that, when people want to get prettier, they end up leaving nothing but permanent injury which can never be cured.

For some other innocent people, they are actually putting their trust in the experts, believe that they could help to treat them with the latest technology and new prescription. However, consequently this new drug might cause some damage on their bodies. Here is how Topamax lawsuit is taken in place, to help he patients with epileptic seizures who had injury caused by Topamax.

Have you submitted your income tax?

It's another year for the income tax again, deadline is 30 Apr.
But guess what, after using e-Filing for 3 years, I still don't really know how to fill it up.
This self submission thing is really bothering me, I have to take out all my slips, statements and all the related documents, but still I'm lost.
The instructions are not really clear and furthermore the form is in Malay.
Maybe tomorrow I would need to visit the manpower again... at least ask them to guide me through...

Busy again

I'll be very busy in this week.
First of all, I have started my 'one-lady show' (female version of 'one-man show'... haha) of Mandarin training. My manager had helped me for the first day, and tomorrow, I'll be alone.
Secondly, since my other teammate is also busy and will be on a long vacation, I have to do the cqm by myself. Total 50+ records. My manager allowed me to stayback, but I still have another concern.......
My しけん for I3, will be on coming Saturday, and I haven't really started my ふくしゅう yet.
Worry? I just don't want to repeat the same class again.
And then, unbelievably, I still spare up my time for my blogging and surfing.
So, don't tell me you don't have time, it just depends on how you want to allocate it. :P

Topamax lawsuit

Recently I come across somebody whose father is under medical treatment. She is the youngest daughter in her family, however she has to take the responsibility for taking care of the parents. She has been trying all the way to find a radical cure, but unfortunately the doctors gave her a negative response.

Sometimes when our loved ones are sick, we will do whatever it takes to get them a best treatment and cure. The thing is, we don’t have enough medical knowledge but to trust on the experts. However, sometimes not every prescriptions are totally safe, it’s how it came about the Topamax lawsuit, where many of the patients and their family believed that it could help to treat epileptic seizures. The victims’ health are still in threat but at least they could get their compensation.

PC Fair, Apr 2011

I always show up in the PC Fair, although I usually go alone.
Being left behind by the latest technology for so many years, actually I don't really catch up with the new things. Don't ask me what's the latest processor, what's the best specs of laptop or PC, what are the features, what's the latest model...... OK, I'm out of it.

Visiting PC Fair has been my habit since college. I don't know any technical thing anymore, but I still like to see those machines, and see new things. I enjoy seeing those hot girls standing around showing their new products, I like to see the promoters demonstrating their latest technology, although I don't really understand. If I don't understand then why I like it? I don't know how to explain. Just..... like it.

I'll still keep on visiting PC Fair, and you may see me in there someday... :)

How are you?

Something happened this morning, it seems that some problem has occurred because of me.
Finally the thing is settled. But I still feel like something is wrong.
Since I've moved here, I never have one minute of passion to work.
Last time, when I was just a normal helpdesk agent, even though I was frustrated by my TL, I was still passionate with my work, I liked dealing with my users, I liked taking calls, I would still take the emails from the inbox and used all my effort to reply.
But now, I have to pull myself together very hard, then only can finish my work, and then the other round of the work is coming, like a routine, never ends, never stops.

Whenever you see somebody you know in anywhere, the standard question you will ask is "How are you?". For most of the people, they'll just simply answer "Good", "Fine", "Great" or anything, may not be really reflecting their current feeling. But for me, I really think about it before I answer. Good? Bad? Not good? Still OK? Still surviving? I'm not sure. Sometimes I just paused and mind goes blank, after a few seconds only answered. Weird huh? It's because I really don't know how I am now...

I like to work with my current boss, I like the freedom and flexibility that I have been given on my job, as long as I can finish my tasks on time, I'm free to do it in anyway. But... I still feel blank, lost, and...... don't know what am I doing...

How this bad feeling will last? I don't know. Just hope that I could find myself very soon so that I can be moving forward.
