Another shocking news

Previously, she said she'll stay. Today, she changed her mind.

Whether or not the 'reason' that she provided is a reason or an excuse, it doesn't matter anymore. The fact is, she doesn't have 'heart' on here.

So now, for all the 'seniors', only 2 of us left. It's interesting. How am I gonna 'bring up' these 'young kids' until they can be independent? I myself even cannot be fully independent yet, not to mention bringing up others.

He talked to me, tried to get me to stand on his side. I'm still a bit reserved on this. Actually, it's very easy to gain my trust, just you may not know the way and skill.

I have signed my name on, there is no turning back. But anyhow, I've finally told him my suggestion. Just see how..... everyone will have their way to survive. I hope that I can find mine too.

My signature is on

Finally, with all the question marks covered my head, I still made up my mind, put my signature on that 'shits' of papers.

I'm not that kind of 'fighter', I know there is something unfair around here, but I really don't know what can I do. I don't know how to fight for my right, I'm tired of all these fights and arguments and disappointment... now what I'm focus on, is how can I get my job done and train up the newbies, until I could 'retreat'......

I was really lost before I made my decision. I need some helpful advice. Until I talked to HK. After talking to her, I think I have to give up all the useless fight. I can't really do anything after all. And now I just hope that there will not be any negative outcome happened to us, and no more shocking news to impact on me, so that I can continue working peacefully.

About the PM, nothing better can be expected from him. It'd be the best if there is nothing crazy from him...

The future? unknown. Just keep on my work and see...

On Christmas Day

Christmas deco at Leisure Mall

I met with my best friend on this holiday, I thought she would be busy as this is supposed to be their 'big day' for her religion. Good news is, she still had time to meet with me in the afternoon.

We were leisuring around in the Leisure Mall, chit-chating, visiting bookshop and video shop until the dinner time. After that, I was brought to a 'special place', in purpose by somebody, where I actually didn't really feel comfortable with it.

I don't have any prejudice against any religion, but for me, I just try not to limit my thinking into a certain region and set any boundary on it. I just believe that, any thinking that is initially good for human being should be accepted.

To be frank, I was a bit shocked and scared when I knew it was done in purpose. Of course I respect any thinking for anyone, but I just want to keep myself to be free, that's all.

Anyhow, it's still happy to be with my best friend on this holiday.

Merry Christmas, My Friends!

It's a festive season in December every year, everybody is celebrating Christmas and New Year. This December, co-incidently, out of 4 weeks, 3 of the Fridays are public holidays, which means that, except the first week, every week we could have 3 days off. Of course we are not included because we need to work every weekdays, even if it's public holiday.

This Christmas, I went to visit my best friend who just came back to Malaysia. It's great to have a friendship for more than 10 years, I precious our friendship and the time we have been together. I wish for her happiness and health forever.

Saturday night (actually is Sunday early morning)...

My brother is attending his friend's wedding in other state, so I have the chance to use the internet today as I usually not allowed to.

I missed my last JP class in 2009 last week because of my best friend's wedding. Next class, will be next year. Which means that, I'll be 'free' for these few Saturdays.

Just had my blood test this morning, have to use the coupon before end of this year. The lady had inserted the needle into my arms twice. It's quite hurt... for me.

I'm watching the "Twightlight" over and over again. It's been a year since this movie was first on cinema. Previously, I don't understand why the second episode of this movie can be so popular, but now I know. After you have watched the first story, you can't wait to see how the story goes. I'll see it, maybe tomorrow?

The thing finally comes

Finally, what we were keep saying before, finally came to me.

Instead of pages of papers, now only 2 sheets left: my copy and their copy. It's quite sad and disappointed when I saw he passed me the 'papers'. Does it mean that I have to start finding my new way to go? Does it mean I have to be prepared to end here?

The economy isn't that bad here. At least some of them who left all got better offer, much much more better than here. Is that the reason why we don't have many applicants? People compare, everyone will sure look for better opportunity.

I told him, we are here because our 'heart' is here. But now, they are pushing us away. Our 'heart' has no value. You just keep your gdf or whatever, we just have our own way.

I don't think there is any negotiation can be done here. But since I have already promised, no matter what, I have to stay, at least for now. He said, when it's unfreezed, he'll put me as top priority. But, who cares? It's just empty promise. He doesn't have the authority to promise anything.

I like my job, I like my work, I like the people here. But, it seems that they left me no choice.

Stay

Finally, it's worth to stay in the office talking until 8.30pm. He has done something. Not much, but at least, he keeps at least one person here. It's probably too selfish to ask everybody to stay, but at this moment, and critical situation, we can't afford any more people to leave.

But, it's not the end of the story. Today, 4 of us spent another almost 2-hour time, sat down and had discussion again. As same as before, such discussion never makes me feel better. The more we talked, the more things are stacking ahead of me.

Yes, it's tough. But as what I promised, we have to get through this together. Now the battle is still going on, we still need more effort to try to build this up, at least to keep it from falling apart. Let's work it together!

Talk...

After so long, I finally had a chance to really sit down and talk with him, in depth.

I told him the truth. I told him the crisis that we are having at the moment. Many people don't want to stay because of disappointment and frustration, if he doesn't make a move, we will be leaving, I might be one of them.

He is still new. He just takes over the role, he doesn't really know what to do yet. I told him, it's not just about money, we need to be recognized, appreciated and taken care about. It doesn't need to be grand, something just a simple thing can deliver the message and show your feeling.

To be frank, I'm really scared. The future is unknown to me. I don't like this feeling. What else do we left that can keep us together? Nothing.

I'm not sure if I have said things right, or if he could get me right. I don't want to make things complicated. Even if we all have to be separated at the end, I still hope that only the good memory will be kept with us.

Hard days

It's very torturing when you know that everyone around you are going to leave but you may have to stay, and the worst of all, you still have to get shocking news everyday.

No more PPH (paid public holiday), no newcomer, no backup, not applying leave, SLA is dropping, people are leaving, your hardwork is not appreciated, you are like nobody in this organization, nobody really cares if you stay or leave......

I don't mind doing more work, it's not new to me after all. What I really feel dismotivating, is the way that we are treated. We used to be busy, we used to had conflicts among each other, but at least for some of us, we were working as a team, and further than that, we were like friends or family. By holding our hands, we could get through all the barriers. But now, thing changed.

They said they care, but they are leaving. They feel upset and angry as well when we got shocking news again. But how long they will need to get this? Just a month, after that, they will be free, will be released. And if I stay, I have to take all these by myself, alone.

Some suggested me to follow their steps, but it's not easy. At least I have to find a place where I can settle down, I don't want to make any sudden suggestion and then feel regreted. Once you decide to walk away, there is no turning back.

I still have a month time to think. Think about my career, think about my future, think about myself...... who knows. Maybe, god will lead my way.

Beautifying yourself

This Sunday, I have to cancel my facial appointment again. It’s the last weekend of November, I have to use the movie passes again before the deadline.

I don’t go to the beauty salon so often, this is only the voucher that I bought last few months from Sg. Wang. Some people will choose to go to the cosmotology schools, to learn how to beautify themselves. If you are really interested in getting yourself or other people beautiful, it’s good to attend the school and learn everything.

For me, I just lazy. I don’t even make up, I can still remember the ‘ghost’ that appeared in my friend’s wedding dinner. It’s better to leave it to the professionals.

Are we closing down?

L really doesn't have heart to stay here, she feels the mgmt really let her down.

Z is leaving tomorrow. S & J are going to leave almost on the same day. If L follows, she will also be going together as well. If L left, M maybe will not be staying here anymore. So starting from next year, we may only have 4 members left: 2 seniors, 1 fisherman and 1 big bro. Gosh, how are we going to survive like this?

For all these while, nobody really takes us seriously. K said, the mgmt will not close down this team because it cannot be just simply closed. But with so little manpower and resources, how are we going to work?

This is headache, really headache....

Discontinuing will be my last steps unless I really go to the dead end and don't have a choice. But even though I can stay, what will be my future?

Bye, Young~!

Today is really an emotional day.

In the morning one phycho keep getting pesterous with me for almost half an hour just because of one single sentence with no more than 10 words. I really thought that he got something wrong with his mind. I really have no idea when did I step on his toes...

It's been busy for almost the whole working hours, until after that we had a 'gathering' (Young insists not to call it as 'farewell'...) nearby. Young has left the company last Friday, and 2 days later, she'll be flying back to Korea.

Young used to be my 'lunch buddies', and futsal-mate. When all the CRM members were still in one team, we always go out together, travel together, eating together. And now, everything has changed. There's a disaster in the room, storm, earthquake, volcano... whatever you name it. It's just doesn't seem to be the same anymore.

I actually didn't have much time to be with Young all these days, but I really agree that she's a nice girl. No matter which path that she choose, I will always wish for her luck, health and happiness forever.

p/s: Kathy said "Bye, Young!" at least 3 times tonight. She has just came from Korea to here for a few months then now Young wants to go back. She said she felt sad about that... haha


The cake bought by her friends from the same team before...

X'mas deco @ Pavilion

It's another year of Christmas again, most of the shopping malls have setup their Christmas decorations. But in this year, I found that many shopping centers have the same Christmas trees, are they running gdf also? hahaha... :P

At Pavilion, the most impressive decoration, is their beautiful glassy sleigh and reindeers in the entrance. It looks beautiful and glowing in the night. This is not like other places in the town, as what my friend told me, if you don't look at the 'background', you would thought that this is some place at Singapore or other country... what do you think?

From Christmas Pavilion

From Christmas Pavilion

My Dec AL...... gone~

The annual leave that I have been planning since the beginning of the year, now has to be cancelled because another member of us will be leaving in one week time. It's short, but he got very very high offer and they are willing to buy him out, what else you can object on this?

It seems like nobody has really care about us in these years. One after another, when old people left, new people come, we are getting lesser and lesser attention from the management, but more and more requirements from the business side. I really don't know what my life will be after all they have left... I can't even imagine.

"If we are so unique, then why our hard work is not appreciated?" She asked. I nodded.

Our team is not like others, not simply strong IT knowledge is capable to master these skills. Not even 2 months training is enough to go on live support. But who will see this? Who from the management can see what we need? Do they really think that they don't care if we leave, because they can find new replacement for lower pay?

I hope that it's not what they are thinking right now, because at the end, we are not the one who will pay for the lost.

Congratulations, Yee Wei!

We have the same 'brother' since we were in the college, although we actually came from different background. Those days in FAU were the days I will never forget.

I thought at least one or two of them would attend, but I only knew when I called her.... I'm the ONE and ONLY from FAU. At the dinner, the table 33, I'm the very stranger among the old classmates, anyhow I managed to get along with them. They are very friendly, fun and interesting... one of them even had just added me in FB.

Although I didn't meet any 'old' friend except Yee Wei at the night, I still had made some new friends, so it's still a very memorable dinner to me.

Last but not least, Congratulations to Yee Wei and Happy Wedding!!

Creative glasses

Some of my ex-classmates may still remember that I had been wearing glasses to the class because I actually have astigmatism. But wearing glasses made me feel uncomfortable, that's why I have been giving up glasses for many years.

Nowadays there are many Holiday Fun Eyeglasses with creative designs, you can find all the latest glasses from New Arrivals, and the low price $8 Prescription Zenni Glasses, you can choose whatever glasses that fits you comfortably.

If I could have a new glasses, I would choose the 3885 Plastic Full-Rim Frame. It's cool, isn't it?

My first drive to IOI Mall, Puchong

Brother said, it's not really safe in Puchong area, especially around the shophouses. However, today, to save time on the road, and avoid those 'strangers' in the town, I decided to drive.

I just start driving in these few weeks, never really going anywhere except to my workplace. And surprisingly, my dad didn't stop me this time.

I went to Confucian first, they were having a "Love in action 3 in 1" function in the school, at the same time, visited some of my old buddies whom we have never seen for quite a long time. The school, is still busy as usual. Principal had promised to reduce some fund-raising function after the school 100 anniversary, but it seems it's not in that way. They are still appearing on the papers, and having a lot of 'news'.

My second 'destination' was IOI Mall, I thought I could make it for the body combat class, but the class had started one hour ago. But still I was there 'walking' for at least 1/2 hour.

This is the first time I went there without taking the '6-wheels', it's not easy to drive alone, of course. The good thing is, at least I can avoid the traffic and the crowd, and it really saved my time.

Back to my 4-wheels

Starting from this week, finally I can get rid of the 6-wheels and back to the 4-wheels now. But since this is the last week of the month, I have to put my 4-wheels under the sun in more than 200M away from my office until next month, and pay ~RM4 everyday.

This time, the 4-wheels that passed by my bro is already more than 15 years old. You can hear there are many 'sounds' coming out from its body. Bro just got it painted again, so although it's a bit noisy, at least it still looks nice and.... it really has a strong 'heart' (engine). I should be grateful that my bro did maintain it very well.

The first day I brought it to work, I really felt like taming a wild horse. =.=" I know I need more time to build a 'good relationship' with this fella... haha! Because I believe that we will be together for a couple of years.

Practice makes perfect, isn't it?

Moved workstation again

I can't really remember how many times we have moved. From Old building to new building, from phase 1, phase 2 to phase 3 until east wing, west wing and now the 'aquarium', we never have a fixed location.

This time, we have moved into a glass room which needs ID card to enter, that's why we call this place 'aquarium', people can only see us from the glass. It is smaller so more echoes inside. If somebody shout, sure he or she will disturb the others. Unfortunately, we have so many 'loud speakers' here. >.<"

After the GDF thing, we are in Pool 3 which is categorized by language-specific teams. So you will listen to Japanese, Korean and Mandarin all the time. It's quite interesting to have so many different languages speaking in just a tiny room like this.

I still need some time to be get used to here. But still, life is busy, we don't have time for our new environment, because we need to start our work now!

G-Force, a good movie for child

To be frank, this is not a movie for adult. But no doubt, it's cute, really cute. Despite the poor story line, actually this is quite a nice movie. Talking animals, special effects, special agent, plot to destroy the world (or human beings), science+technology, cute characters...... what else do you expect?

I never thought that a mole will plan to destroy the human, actually when I knew the 'truth', it's quite funny to me too. Anyhow, they really surprised me that, the mole actually use the Chinese word for "mole" -- 鼹鼠（yǎn shǔ）as his anonym, although for me, it implicitly insulted the Chinese in certain aspect.

The other surprise is, we can listen to lots of current English hits like Lady Gaga's Just Dance, Black Eyed Peas's Boom Boom Pow and I Gotta Feeling, etc. It's really nice to hear the songs playing in the movie.

Generally, this is the movie that will definitely entertain the children or audience at young age but not the adults like me. This is a movie that will not make you think, actually, you don't need to think.

Anyhow, I still think that these guinea pigs are cute~~ hehe

Platinum coins

My sister used to collect coins but it was just a short while. She is kind of person with brief period of enthusiasm and then just not long later, she quitted. Actually, if you are really interested in collecting coins or investing in coins, we would suggest you to buy platinum coins. No doubt that the price of platinum is higher than gold, however, since it is rare metal, it is widely used in the industry. And because of its rareness, it also means that you can get higher in return. Not everyone are fond of gold, so you may prefer platinum for yourself.

Happy Deepavali

I saw this when I was in Pavillion, one afternoon. This is called "Kolam", it's kind of sandpainting which is drawn using the rice powder dyed in different colours, special for the Hindu's culture.

We are glad that we are multi-racial country, we celebrates Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali, and all other special days for different festivals. I like telling stories about our tradition and culture, it's just if we don't learn our culture, how are we going to show others what our culture is?

My office also had a "Kolam" competition, and the winner's artwork is still displayed in the entrance of the office. It's really beautiful, it's an art, a culture, and something that we should precious and proud of.

A dinner

We had a farewell+welcome dinner yesterday, I'm the so called 'organizer', but actually what I did was just gathering information and sending out emails, that's all.

And actually I failed to gather everyone together, although I believe that it's impossible to get 100% attendance, but... those who are supposed to be in the farewell came, but those who should be welcomed, were not in.

I really felt sorry about S & A, esp. S. This dinner, was meant to be the people who left our team together with those who join us. But now, we have to leave them out just because it's too late and we have already finished our food. And the main reason is, he is scheduled to take the night shift for this week. It's not his fault, but just... not in the right time. I felt a little bit guilty also when I called him up and told him that we all wanted to go home......

Next time? who can guarantee when we will have our 'next time'? Now things changed. We are no longer the same as before. Not so much passion on team building and outing, and basically because we have lost our 'organizers'.

Anyhow, thanks for those who joined and we actually had a lot of fun together on a table, and.... gossiping... hahaha

I need a break

I have just applied a long leave in December. I told my teammates that I may go to Singapore to visit my friend, but actually I don't have any plan yet.

It's been quite long since my last vacation, long enough until I forget when was it. I always wish that I can have a family vacation, travel overseas. But because of so many other reasons, we have to postpone our plan to an unknown date.

Anyhow, I have already applied my leave. No matter what will happen, I will be totally 'missing' from my office and work. I need a break and rest so that I can keep it up for a longer journey.

A call today

B walked away, forgot to put in aux code.
Call came in, without any other choice, I asked A to take the call.
From the receiver, I could hear that the caller actually is impatient and irritated after trying for so many times but still couldn't get the thing installed.
Actually I didn't have much expectation on A, I'm sure the caller was not happy, because he even asked, "What are you going to send me?"

Caller called again, this time C took it. He asked me why A closed the call so fast without confirmation from user that the problem is resolved. While C was chatting with me on ST, he found that the caller had disconnected.

I was worried. I decided to call back the BP user by myself, I was so worried that he would lose his temper this time.

But surprisingly, he answered the call with a very nice voice. Eventhough the problem actually persisted. I guided him, patiently, tried to be as nice as I could, to follow the steps and instructions. He realized that he had missed out one step, and agreed to try it again. He told us that we can close the call, if he found the problem again he will call us back.

He sounds so grateful and said thank you for so many times. After the call finished, I felt relief, and warm. I was so happy that he was not angry with us, and the call ended with a very happy tone.

I realized that, I would prefer to become a normal agent, solving caller's problem and answering caller's questions directly. Especially when getting their positive feedback and response, when they sound happy after the problem resolved or they got their answers. And also, the happiest moment is, when some regular users call and tell me that they are so happy to hear my voice.

It's a sense of satisfaction that you can get directly from the end users. It's nothing you can get if you are doing normal administrative works. I know that it sounds conflict with the new role that I'm currently taking, but that is where my job satisfaction comes from.

I still can tell everyone that, "I'm the Agent of the Year 2008! (2nd runner-up.... haha!)"

I think I found I'm so happy to work in the customer service field. I know that my progression is kind of slow, but everyone's goal are different. Some wants to be a leader, the others happy to be just a team player, I'm one of them.

Hiring 'part-time' to do your farm?

It happened that, a few days ago I read a very funny news. In China, because of the golden week holiday, the people are too busy to take care of their 'farm' -- as one of the online game. They actually hire the 'part-time' to do the 'farming'!

The news didn't specify which online game is it, but it did mention 'happy farm' in Chinese, so I can tell that they must be saying 'Facebook'.

There are many 'farming' games in the Facebook, e.g. happy farm, barn buddy, farm town, farmville, etc. For happy farm and barn buddy, not only you can plant vegetables in your own farm, you can also water the plans, weeding, and killing bugs in your friends' farms.

Can you imagine one of the 'part-timers' from Taiwan, she actually earns NT$800 per day just to help others to work on their farms?

This Facebook really drives people crazy!

Bullion

With signs of economic recession remains in the doldrums, our lives are getting more and more pressure. Savings are no longer the economic support and source for the people. Recently, all kinds of investment-related information constantly emerge. Many investors are attracted by their low-cost and high-return investment plans. But can they really be trusted? For all the high returns that they promised, are they really achievable?

There are many different kinds of investment available in the world, and bullion investment is one of the most popular among them all. It includes the gold, silver, platinum and other precious metals. This, as what many people believe, is a gradually value-added investment and will maintain the value of your precious metals all the time.

When it comes to the types of bullion, the very first thing we can think about, is gold. Since our early generations, many people believe that, buying gold is the best way to preserve their wealth, and it is also a kind of status symbol. Although it might not be as popular as silver and copper, gold has also been widely used in the market trading. It will not wear or fade over time, even if you pass it around from hands to hands. It can readily be brought anywhere, with just one small size of gold it carries a high monetary value. It can be easily stored, transported and exchanged among people.

I must mention that, one of the reasons why people like gold is because of the bright luster from the gold itself. Because of its unique color, gold has been popularly used by the king and emperors in the ancient times, to represent power, authority and wealth.

Besides gold, bullions also include silver, copper and so on. Silver, in terms of its affordability, it is also popular for the bullion coins collectors. Although its value is relatively lower than gold, but it also means that it is cheaper and affordable.

If you likes to collect bullion coins, you can actually find them from many countries, for example U.S. Eagles has American eagle bullion coin and China has panda coins. It depends on which one is your favorite.

Dining at Cyberjaya

It's not easy to find somewhere for dining in Cyberjaya area, of course there are lots of restaurants around, but it won't be economical; Old town, Padi House, QThai, Penang House... if you want to find something lower than RM5, yes you can, at Terminal, but you have to 'fight' with hundreds of diners around. Moreover, the walking distance from my office to Terminal, is 15 mins; Drive? don't even think about it, because there won't be any parking space ready for you.

Food delivery or catering service is really a big business in this area, we used to have chicken rice delivery and mixed rice before, after we moved to new building, I have lost contact with the boss who delivers mixed rices, the guy who sells chicken rice has quitted from delivery service. Then I found another catering service which is vegetarian food.

Last week, I found the 'mixed rice uncle' in the main entrance, I got his contact number and now, at least we can have some meat for lunch. Haha!

Our building already have a vendor, but they sell Indian or Mamak food only. And I can't remember I voted them when we have choice to pick the favourite vendor from 2 candidates.

Now, you can have many choices for your dining in Cyberjaya, but they are still not cheap. If you want to pay less, go for the catering.

Back to bus days

The Wira is currently on maintenance, so I have to go back to the stations and take bus again.

After the bus far rises since September, I actually seldom take bus. One reason is, the bus never comes on time, and even worse than before.

But this week, I could manage to catch the U42 at around 7~7.30pm. Still not really punctual, but better than waiting forever. Anyhow, who can guarantee their service?

Paintball

Many of my friends have played paintball before. From their pictures, I can see that it's really quite a fun game. Our team members had planned to join a paintball game before, but eventually, most of the 'planners' are no longer in the team.

What would it be when holding Smart Parts Paintball Guns and with your suits and masks on, running around the field and fighting with your 'enemies'. I think it sounds like "Counterstrike" where I had played.

I know it's a bit 'old' at my age to play this exciting and tiring game, but one day, I really hope that I could at least try once to participate in this game.

Mid-autumn Festival & my nephew

This year's Mid-autumn fell on Saturday. It should be fun because we didn't have to work on the next day and my sister's family were not 'balik kampung'. But still, because we had late dinner, by the time we started to hang the lantern and lit up some candles, it's already almost midnight.

Boy Boy was so happy running around, playing with the electronic lantern that my sis bought him. Watching me line up the candles in the garden, hung all the lanterns on the clothesline. This is the first time he is with us on this day.

After all these years, we have forgotten the true meaning of the festivals. Besides family reunion, what are the purposes and meaning that we celebrating the festivals, like Mid-autumn? Many friends of mine are no longer playing lanterns and candles in Mid-autumn night, except those have kids. Other than having a family dinner and then back to their own activities, what these Chinese traditional festivals really mean to them?

Fisherman

It is really crazy.
This is the biggest challenge for me in my entire life.
What actually is in his mind?
Does he really care about this job? Does he really think he is responsible on his task?
These "tidak apa" attitude has really challenged our tolerance, patience and wisdom.
The one who can stand until the last minute wins.
But what's the reward?
My mind is getting mad right now in every single day.
Less people, more work, has already made our heads spin.
And now, we have to take care of this fisherman too.
I wonder what we have done to get us into this.

p/s: wanna know why this fella is 'fisherman'? because he always 'fishing' during working hour......

My dream to Disneyland

It has been quite a long time I haven't been traveling. One reason is because of the H1N1 thing, it really scares people out. But you know what, many of my friends are still traveling overseas. Well, they got their point: even if you stay in your house, it doesn't mean that you are 100% safe.

My plan of family trip to Hong Kong is still postponed until a day of unknown, how I wish I could travel to either Hong Kong, Japan or even Orlando, get my Disney Tickets and step in to the Disneyland. I haven't been to Disneyland before, I really wish that I can pay a visit there at least for once in my life. But when will it be?

Tremors in the office

Quake in Sumatra, tremors in Malaysia

It was around 6.30pm, when I felt a bit giddy in the office, I thought it was because I didn't have enough sleep... (ha) until my colleague asked me, "Do you feel the building is like shaking?" Then only I realized, yeah, it's really feel like shaking.

About an hour later, I received my SMS news, there's an earthquake in Sumatra and tremors in Malaysia. It was like a joke at the beginning but when really heard about the news, it's still scary.

Gave up

It might be my chance of a life time, I truly understand that, I may not be having another same opportunity in the near future. But it really doesn't suit the time. I have to let go. It's a waste, but it's the only choice I have now.


Other than it's a permanent, I don't find there is any other thing significantly more than what I'm having now. Just because it's permanent I have to give up what I have now and get something really unknown to me.


It's not worth it. At least, my calculator told me that.


I've turned down the offer. It's really a hard decision for me. And at the moment, I still can't tell if my decision is correct, but at least, it's the only decision I could make. Just let the future tells me if I've made the right choice.

The best compliment I've got

At the end of September, it's Hari Raya holiday for Malaysia on from Monday to Tuesday, and also there are public holiday for Japan consecutively from Monday to Wednesday.


So actually you could expect that most of the members here were enjoying their long vacation somewhere, and I'm one of the members who were still on duty.


Bruce actually is from business side, he used to questioned us for some 'inproper-handled' issue and raised some request for us to action on it. Usually he deals with our TL, but now, no choice I have to the one who responded to his enquiries.


Luckily, even if I were so afraid to make mistakes, I still managed to do what he asked without making serious mistakes -- maybe it's not perfect yet. And at the end, I received this email.


I really grateful that I could do something independently finally without relying on any TL or 1.5 to give me advice and guidance, yet I still hope that in the future, we could have better process when we need to do support when so many people from the HD and SM are off....

This, really had lighten up my day.

Doodling

He's not good in learning to speak, but he has been picking up a pen in a correct way before 2 years-old. And since then, he likes to doodle anytime, anywhere. Sometimes he will doodle with a sound "Ah... Ah... Ah...", and sometimes (actually most of the time) he wants us to write ABC for him. I think I've never been writing so many ABCs before during my schooltime... Gosh, This is crazy!

Here got all his 'artworks'... the door:


under the folding table:


the sofa:


the newspaper:

試験を終わりました

今日の昼は試験でした。

Finally I passed the exam, got to another level. But still, I don't think I can communicate with 日本語 now. I've signed for the next level, but actually I'm not sure how far I want to go... my objective is, to be able to communicate in Japanese. So which level you think I should go? haha

ありがとう、中村さん。これらの私の同級生です。

Crazy service

Today, because of a crazy thought, I decided to back to the bus station again. But I forgot that I never can leave the office on time nowadays, and I was... maybe too confident about the bus service. And consequently, I end up standing alone at the bus stand, for almost an hour.

I don't know if the bus came at last, and what time it came. I've already called my dad and back to the office.

Burning sun, burning pocket, whatever. I just don't care anymore, the most important thing is, I don't want to be waiting like an idiot anymore!

p/s: I wondered if it's because of this fasting month? But even though for other days their service is still never be good. Now bus fare increased, but the service level dropped. We, who take out money from the pocket, end up suffering ourselves by paying more to them, what for?

The red umbrella, for free

It was just a sudden thought, I want to change from Avast to Avira. I'm not sure if it's related, I thought that ever since I installed Avast, I can no longer access to sina.com. This is one of the reasons why I decided to make a change.

But disappointedly, even if I have reinstalled my antivirus program, nothing changed. The website is like freezing, the loading bar is like not moving at all. The status bar remains at "Waiting..." or "Transferring...", and now it even freezed my pc.... >.<

Have to go to bed now, not much time on doing any testing. Hopefully this wouldn't be my wrong choice for choosing the wrong antivirus software.... gosh!

Drive to work...

Starting from last week, I've never been taking bus.
But driving to work definitely no fun at all.
It's only mid of the month, you can't get any nice parking place.
Your choices are: open-air cheap parking but under the hot sun,
or covered parking but expensive.
It's crazy.
Mum said tomorrow I may bring the car again.
I said, "What?"
I would prefer having a nap on the bus...... haha
But what about the bus routine?
It's also crazy.
Nowadays going to work also not easy.
Gosh!

I'm free~~~

Because of a technical failure, I got 1 minute and 27 seconds late for my lunch hour.
The problem was, I was still at my desk during my lunch time.
It's unfair, but it was my itchy hands to press on the button. Who could I blame to?
Management changed, people in-charge changed, rules changed.
No more exemptions, no more discussions, no more exceptions.
Now I have to bear with my own fault.

And then, I started to be more lenient to myself.
There have been so much time contraints on my free time.
Time in, time out, time for lunch......
I've never been really enjoying my free time during my work.
This is my choice, of course.
Unlike others, they've already given up.
They really 'enjoy' their lunch hour very much, go far far away, eat nice nice food, talk and chat as much as they like......
Now, the good thing is, at least starting from now until the end of the month, I'm free.
All my lunch buddies are welcome to invite me for lunch.
Dengkil, SK, Equine...... who cares?
hahaha~

Missing person

She just disappears like this. Uncontactable. Without any specific reason.
Since last Friday she SMS me for MC, this week, she totally leave uncontactable.
No answer to phone calls, no reply to SMS.
I know maybe there is another way to contact her.
But if she really doesn't want to respond to you, all the things that you do are just meaningless.

Maybe there were secret discussion took place previously.
We are not sure.
They were from the same group, we can't avoid thinking that way.
Disappointed. Of course. But what can we do?

What happen to CRM?
Many people just like want to leave desperately.
And the one who left stay busy.
But what I believe that this won't be long.
We have been through so much tough times,
and we will get over this too.

BookFest @ Malaysia 2009

BookFest @ Malaysia 2009

I went to the Book fair on last Saturday. Alone.

I'm not quite a 'reader' recent years, maybe too addicted to computer and internet, maybe not enough sleep due to spend too much time online, and I don't have much energy on reading. I bought a lot of books at home, but never really finish even half of them.

My hands felt "itchy" again when I saw so many books BOOKS and BOOKS in the book fest. But "luckily" I only brought back 6 books home. One of them is even English bestbeller... hehehehe you can imagine I read English book? (I still leave my English version of "Angels & Demons" at home, just for the reference to my Chinese version... geng leh?)


A talk about badminton in Malaysia.


Inside the exhibition hall.


If not mistaken, this is the author for the comic 黑色水母 (dark jellyfish), but actually I don't really like his comics.


KLCC


Some of the books I've bought. Which one you like?

My life as a blogger

I have been a blogger for more than 4 years. At the beginning it's just my diary, I wrote it mainly in Chinese. Then my friend introduced me to join as the paid blogger, until I opened an English blog.....after that another website for my Chinese blog......

I actually don't earn a lot from blogging, but the best thing I got, is I my English has improved a lot when I blog in English. Of course you can say my English is still lousy, but if you compared to my English writing in 10 years back, you will understand the difference.

Have you ever see any blogger checking dictionary when they blog? I do. My vocabulary is really limited, and when I read my friend's blog, I also need to check dictionary. Cannot compare, they are far more better than I am.

Anyhow, it's how I learn my language. And paid post is one of my motivation of keep on blogging. Hopefully I can have much more improvement in the future.

Accounting firm

More than half a year has passed in 2009, but the economy has not been getting better. However, there are still many people out there, quitting their jobs and starting their own business.

When you start a new business, of course the first thing which comes into your mind is money. Some people will hire accounting staffs to handle all the company’s money matters, but there are still many of them would rather leave it to the professionals. If you can find those like Las Vegas Quickbooks Accounting Firm, I’m sure you will trust them and let them handle your money.

Sky...

This is the first time I visited to Grandma's house again since she passed away last year.

Life goes on. Many things remain the same. All the people around are still having their normal days. The house is still lively with some of my cousins around. The only one missing, is my Grandma, she's no longer here.

There's a Chinese festival in this month, the temple in front of my Grandma's house was lively again. A Cantonese opera show on stage, and luncheon on Sunday.

We went back with our new Pesona. On the way back to KL, I saw the sky, it's very bright and blue. We can seldom see such blue sky in the town, probably because of pollution. So many feeling and emotion came together into my mind, but I still enjoy seeing the nature and it blew away all the sadness and worries from your heart.

15 Malaysia: House

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xSHYP724Ok



This video is quite sad but it do tell the true story. The same thing happens to many people especially to the poors every now and then.

For those who live in a bungalow or even a better house than Rama, for those who never suffer from poverty, they won't imagine how a small house can be so important to somebody like Rama and his mother. When he says, "My father built it..." you can tell how this matter to him. He loves the house just for this simple reason.

Keep yourself beautiful

You may know that, it is very important to keep yourself in good health and good looking. Nowadays many commercials have told you how you can keep yourself in looking younger and healthier, but the most important thing is, you have to know the right way so that you won’t hurt yourself or consequently any side effect happens to you.

Sometimes you may not really trust the products and their advertisements in the market, it is better if you have more knowledge on it, at least you can choose the best for yourself. That is why some will consider joining the beauty school houston to learn how to make yourself beautiful and healthy.

Nice project, nice videos, interesting stories......

Missing futsal 2009

We didn't join the futsal tournament this year.

One reason is because we were just having a big turnover in our team, the 2 most important players had left, another one is still suffering from her backpain, and me, just the 'keh leh feh' in this team, if others cannot form a team, I also wouldn't join.

I prefer playing ball with my hands than legs actually, but the more important thing is about the team. We can enjoy the team playing in the field, chasing after the ball (me), knowing new friends, sharing and laughing. It was really a good time for us. However, we are now even no longer having our weekly futsal hour, no more invitation. I think the team has dismissed.

It's quite sad actually, how I wish we could have fun together again, but I don't think we can return back to the old times anymore. But it's still great that it can be kept in my memory. I was once a futsal player, and won a silver metal in the company tournament. How great is it, huh? hahah!

From Putra Jaya to KL -> RM7?!

They got on the bus from Putra Jaya mosque. They are like from Middle East, English speaking are not really fluent, but still able to ask for the fare to KL.

"One person 7 Ringgit."

They were like doubt that they had heard it wrongly, and asked him to repeat again.

"One person, 7 Ringgit!" The conductor said. Word by word. Showed a little bit impatience.

There are, I think around 5 to 7 of them. If they paid the full amount, it costed them about RM70 for this trip.

I sat nearby. Silently. Still holding my RM2 ticket.

That's why, I always tell my foreign friends, don't come here alone or by your own. If you cannot find any local, just make sure you do all the research before you come. Otherwise, you might spend at least RM20 from KLCC to Bukit Bintang by taxi.

With this kind of fellas around, how are we going to improve our reputation? How can we convince people to "visit Malaysia"?

His Lunar Birthday - 2 yrs old

As we have missed his 2nd birthday on 1st Aug, we were then celebrating his Lunar birthday yesterday. Actually not a really big celebration, just my mum cooked some different food, and bought a birthday cake for him. The cake is for the adults' favour, so I chose black forest... haha!

I'm not sure if it's really not a cake for kids or what, my nephew really doesn't like to eat cake. Even if we put it into his mouth, he spat it out.

Since he has just recovered from a big fever, we were making a birthday wish for him, wishing for his health and happiness throughout his life.

Invest in silver

Many people like to invest in gold, but the thing is, the price of gold is now getting higher and some may find it is not really easy to store gold. Nowadays some will choose to invest in silver.

The price for silver is very much lower than gold, but at the same time, it also means that the amount that you need to do the investment is also not as high as gold. Furthermore, the major advantage for silver is the industrial demand for silver is much higher than gold. If you would consider taking part in investment, you may consider silver.

The panicky flu

This flu thing which was called 'swine flu' before and now it's renamed as "Influenza A (H1N1)" has now taken 18 lives. It's scary but I believe that there are many people don't care about it. Actually, you don't really need to be panic about it.

I was walking around the Bukit Bintang area today, passing through all the crowds, but only a few of them were wearing masks. Masks are still available, not out of stock yet. They are still cheap, price are not raised yet. But now, for me, I'm more sensitive to the coughs and sneezes, especially when you can tell from their coughs that, they are having serious problem.

The fatalities are still low, of course it doesn't mean that you do not regard it as a matter. You still need to be careful, if you cannot avoid going out, just make sure you take good care of yourself.

Baby is home

Our little baby, finally come home. Healthily. Recovered.

I just found that, one of my friend's baby son, also had a fever on the same day, and caused by throat infection. Recently there are many viruses around, and the H1N1 still causing a great panic around the world by increasing the dead cases, including Malaysia. Nowadays going out also not safe.

My brother-in-law told us, according to the doctor, they still keep the baby's blood in observation. Probably need to wait until some bacterias or viruses 'grow', then only they can do further testing and checking, to see if there is any other 'problem' inside. It's just a in-depth checking, hopefully they won't find anything there.

It might be so bad that he had to spend his birthday in hospital, but what else is more important than his health and happiness? Birthday celebration, it doesn't matter anymore.

Welcome Back, Boy!

Little boy boy @ hospital

My nephew has been admitted to hospital since last Friday, because of his high fever. That means, he spent his second birthday in the hospital too. What a pity!

The blood test report was out, it shows nothing really bad about him. So according to tentative diagnosis, they can only tell that it's because of his sore throat which caused the high fever. But they still need a few more days to do monitoring and more testing for confirmation.

Because of being sick, Boy Boy is quite lack of appetite. So they decided to give him a drip. But it is so cruel to see 2 needles stuck into his little hand. He cries everytime when the nurses come and change the packet, or inject some medicine from the needle. He is so terrified.

It's been 4th day, but our little boy still can't be discharged yet. He doesn't have high fever again today, but the doctor still wants to get more detailed checking before can confirmed he is fully recovered.

That means, my mum still need to stay overnight in the hospital with my sis. And I still need to wash clothes every night, and sleep late every night......


See his hand.... it's scary!

Happy Birthday, Boy Boy!

Today is Boy Boy’s birthday.

But he spent his very first moment of his birthday in the hospital.

He has been having a high fever since the night before yesterday, my parents and his parents brought him to the pediatrics. After giving him some medicines, the doc advised them to bring him to the hospital for detailed body check-up, to be more secure. So they were heading towards the UM hospital.

When he was in the hospital wad in the afternoon, around 2pm, his body was still in high temperature, until he got a cramp. It's sound scary to me. Then after that, it's getting better. He could eat, drink and play with them. But in around midnight, his temperature was going up again, even doc said it's normal, we are still scared.

Docs had done a blood test with him, but neither mum nor sis mentioned about the report, which it was supposed to be out in 3 hours. They were even told that the doc needed to take his marrow for testing as they had concern that it might be a meningitis. It sounds terrifying but luckily after I checked with my mum, they didn't do it.

Now is the very crtical moment for the little one, the doc has told them to keep his temperature low. My mum and sis are now staying overnight in the hospital, and taking care of him.

I'm so scared actually. We never encounter this before, we know he's a premie, but never be prepared to face this. We have been trying to hard to take extra care of him, hope that he can grow healthy and happily. Now, it has panicked us. We are scared. Really really scared.

For any God up there, please bless the little boy. I would prayed for his health, his recovery and we are still waiting to celebrate his second birthday at home.

Happy Birthday, Boy Boy! Please be strong! You will be recovered soon.

My journey, my dream

Since the influenza A (H1N1) has been raging in the world, it has caused a great impact to the tourism industry. Many people avoid traveling overseas, so the airlines are trying so hard to boost up their business by giving out attractive promotions to their customers.

Actually I was planning to travel overseas this year with my family, but because of this crazy flu phobia, I had to postpone my plan again. And now, I don’t know when I can fulfill my dream of overseas traveling.

How I wish I could have a romantic vacation riviera maya, or culture exploring journey in China, or searching for history in Europe....... when will be my dreams come true?

Finally... transformed...

Finally, I could watch the whole "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", in the same cinema. This time, I went with my parents and brother.

Many critics and viewers gave negative comments about this movie, some said it's too commercial, some said it's far beyond the logic and reality, some said the story line is weak, some said too many characters, etc. But who cares? It's the blockbuster and it dominates all the charts around the world.

Optimus Prime + Bumblebee + Sam + Mikaela + Michael Bay + a lot of transformable robots are still the best combination and success story for the movie world.

Fare increase

Last week, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department announced for the publick transports fare increase. And this week, yesterday, the bus driver was so 'kind' to tell us that, the bus ticketing system will be changed in the coming August.

Now, the bus fare for RapidKL, is one-day ticket, RM1 for Tempatan and RM2 for Utama & Bandar. But starting from this August, there is no more one-day ticket. The ticket fare will depends on different zone. Just like when it was the time of "Intrakota".

I asked the driver, when the official new ticket fares will be announced, he said he didn't know yet. It's already 23rd of July, another one week to go. The bus company still doesn't want to make any announcement. Are they planning to give us a 'surprise'?

Now everything increase, except our pay and allowance. How should we survive?

Safe investment

Recently if you have read the news, there are many cases about the investment scam again. Although we all know that it is hard times for our economy now, maybe that’s the reason why many people are willing to trust such a get-rich-quick scams, vainly hope for getting rich in fastest way.

It is undeniable that, investing is still the fastest way to earn money in shortest time. But the point is, you have to make sure it is safe. Invest in stock options is also one of the way for making money, but it’s better to seek advice from the experts before you make any decision.

Change workstation again

Joce has moved upstairs, Kim will be leaving the team soon. Our workstations are rearranged again.

If not mistaken, this is my 6th change.

I got so many stuffs on my desk (and under my desk as well, haha!), so everytime I move my place, I have to bring along many stuff.

This time, I'm not sure how long it'll last until my next move again.

But hopefully it'll not be the near future.

Blackout @ GSC Pavilion KL

It was around 4:15pm, when we were in the cinema, watching "Transformers II". Only 30 mins of the show, suddenly it was a blackout, the show is gone, the emergency lights were on. Everybody was so shocked, none of us knew what's happening. I even thought that it was some kind of "special effects" from the cinema, we could even expect to see 'Optimus Prime' or 'Megatron' appears from the back......

But 15 mins after the incident, we realized that it's definitely something went wrong. Somebody went out to check, and when they came back, they told us that many people were heading to the exit, the electricity went off, the show was stopped. And it was already 30 mins over.

No shows today, just about I think 1/3 of the 'Transformer 2' I've seen. They promised to give us a refund or change to another time, but just like the lady said, "It's not the matter of money."

My brother and I, went to the first counter, queue up for another 15~20 mins to get our voucher back (we used the complimentary pass). The electricity resumed at around 5:00pm, but our shows have cut. No more Transformers. They stopped selling tickets, but the shows after 5pm were still on.

GSC claimed that it was the electricity problem from Pavilion itself. However, they still promise on our ticket refund and bear the lost and our blame...

We end up returned home with 1/3 of Transformers II. What a DAY! T_T


The electricity went off, everybody went down to the entrance again, it's an uproar from the people. The staffs were trying to cool down the people, and made an announcement.


My tickets before the refund. Gosh! I can't believe it I just watched 1/3 of it! It's the first time I encounter this.


Electricity resumed at around 5:00pm, but our show was confirmed cancelled. Too bad!

Sliver

Left: the sliver removed from my hand, it's just a few mm long. Right: my hand, after removing the sliver.

This sliver had been pierced into my skin since yesterday evening, when I was taking a piece of wood from my little nephew. It had gone to my right hand, so it's very inconvenient for me to use my left hand to remove it. That's why I left it in my hand until this afternoon.

Susan is really a good mummy, haha! She prepared all the 'tools' with her, just a needle and a lighter, she use the fire to disinfect the needle, and then started the 'operation', just a minute, the sliver had been removed. Looks like I've asked the correct person for help. Haha!

Thanks Susan! I feel much better now. hehe

Baby's diet

My brother-in-law always afraid that his little son will get overweight, because he had seen some of the “Michelin” babies, their parents thought that baby has to eat more to grow faster. My nephew doesn’t really eat much actually, can you imagine a almost 2 year old toddler, still gulping 160ml of milk (sometimes add some rice cereal) in every 3 hours? One of my friend’s baby girl has already gulped 120ml milk in every 3~4 hours.

Nevertheless, whenever he went to the pediatrics, he is always found healthy and in normal weigh. If he is grown underweight, probably he would need to take duocal to put on some weight for a well-balanced diet.

Hard Decision

Finally, I've decided to change back my blog URL to my initial one.

The reason why I hesitated, basically is because of one fella... but then I found that, after I've changed my URL, it seems that I've also lost my readers... but that's not confirmed, because I don't know how to calculate it and how to obtain the figure.

Anyhow, I found that even if I've changed the URL, the feeder will not change my blog name. So what is the purpose to make all those changes, just because of one fella? It's silly!

I'm not sure when I change back the URL, I'll get back my readers... but I'll try to convince myself, that's nothing to be fear. That fella, just forget about it.

Writing?

He uses both left hand and right hand, but he maybe a left-hander...

1/2 more month, my little nephew will celebrate his 2nd birthday.

He's not really good in language development, but he's really good at imitating people. He'll observe what we do, and do the same by himself. So now he's pressing the remote control, unlock the door or padlock, wiping table, mopping the floor, etc. Of course he can't really do that, he just imitate our actions.

He saw us writing, he also wants to write, so he likes to grab our pen and doodle on the paper. He writes on anything besides paper, table, floor, newspaper, his baby books, our books, even the sofa~~ *faint*

Dad taught him how to hold a pen properly, so he learnt it quite well. Now you see, got style right? Just look like really writing! Haha! The way he holds the pen is better than I do. Well Done, BOY!

Recently......

Recently, office has blocked Facebook due to traffic congested...... not only FB, actually there were many staffs accessing music and video streaming websites.... and it ended up FB also get blocked, because it's the website mostly accessed.... haha!

Can't really get used to life without FB... of course I'm doing my work, but sometimes when you clicked away from your applications and got into FB, can relax a bit for a few minutes, then go back to the 'battle' again.

*******************************************************************************

Recently, we are really short of people. The job change thing has been freezed 'until further notice', that means you gotta wait for your luck. But one of our senior agent will still moving on as planned. That means, I'll be almost 'alone' in my team. Really tired to take so much work...... but what to do?

*******************************************************************************

Recently, wondered why I can no longer access to my Sina blog from home. Why ah? It'll keep loading and loading, maybe one word every 10 or 15 minutes, a few hours passed also not loaded 30%. Maybe I shouldn't have trusted CN website...... >.<" Some of them will not work fine outside of their mainland.

*******************************************************************************

Recently, I can hardly get any PP....... everyday open the website also can't see any offer or oppty. Economy not good maybe? hahaha

*******************************************************************************

So, it's quite 'sien' to live like this, seems like 诸事不顺..... nothing much is working fine..... another life challenge maybe? haha...... anyhow, I still stay happy everyday. You can't control the things happen around you, but you can control your feeling, your emotion. Nothing can let you down unless you allow it to.

Deal with coins

It’s already half a year for 2009, but the economy still does not show any sign of improvement. Many companies are coming out with certain plans to reducing cost; devaluation of the currency has already begun. We can no longer rely on our meager salary to live. We have to find out another way to increase our income to cover all the loans and expenses every month.

If you would like to do some investment, but do not want to take big risks, invest in coins can be one of the choices. If you have chosen the right coin dealer, you can make a lot of money from it.

Visit babies day + my adventurous journey

Today is "visit babies day", Luee and I had visited SinSin, Sea Yan and their baby girls at their house. And why I say it's "adventurous"? because I drove.

Usually, when Luee was back, she drove. But today, her mum needed the car, so I gotta drive, otherwise we may gonna missed out our gathering of the day.

Both of the girls are having their birthdays in the same month - June. One of them will be moving to China, and the other one will be staying in her father's (my friend's husband's) house, and taken care by her grandma.

So happy to see their happy and satisfactory look on their faces.

About my 'adventure'... it's still ok. Although I have been turning to the wrong way for so mnay times, until I travelled all the way from Lebuh Ampang to almost Jalan Duta (=.=")...... it was scary, I thought I couldn't turn the way back, luckily after so many 'turns' and 'wrong ways', I finally get myself back to LA again. It's scary, yet excited, that's why I call it "adventure". haha!

1.5

I got my manager's call in this morning, while I was waiting for my call in the dental clinic.

Kim is moving on to SM, Susan is replacing her as TL. And the 1.5 vacancy, they agreed to let me fill up the position.

It's a good news. No doubt about that.

But it's quite a contradiction to me. I was always wanting to be moving to another level, but when it comes to a higher level, I doubt that if I could take the role. It's not easy, especially I really doubt about my communication skills.

Anyhow, they have faith on me, and confident that I can take it. Then no harm to have a try, it's better to fail than not trying at all.

Thanks Adrian & Kim for the opportunity. I'll try my best to not letting you down, and to proof that you haven't made a wrong decision.

btw, Level 1.5 is between Lvl 1 and Lvl 2, that's why it's called 1.5... haha... not many team got such position. We are one of them.

Remembrance of the King of POP

This the the only MV DVD I bought for MJ.

I got the SMS when I was on the way to work.

It was so shocked when I first saw the message.

Of course, I should have expected that, especially after seeing his 'monsterous', 'Dracula-look' face recently published on the media. I wondered how could such a 'human' survived.

But, the news was still shocking.

No matter how much scandals had come to him, it's his personal thing. For me, he's still the king of pop, the king of dance.

There are many good dancers in the world, but frankly, how many of them can be an icon all over the world, and everyone likes to learn his dance.

It's a great loss for the world, especially to his fans, and everyone who loves him.

Wish that he'll rest in peace, and all his bad things will be gone with him, and only good things will remain in our minds.

Ah.... Bu......

On my house ceiling, there is some creatures, whenever my little nephew saw it, he'll shout "Ah..... Bu......"

What is "Ah Bu" actually?

It's a lizard.

Why it's called "Ah Bu"?

Gotta ask the little one. But he cannot tell you either, because he still can't really speak.

He was attracted by the lizard at first sight, we taught him it's "bì hǔ" (Mandarin), but it end up like "Ah Bu"...

So now, "Ah Bu" is the 'name' of lizard in my house. My nephew, he got a 'pet'! haha

'Room' warming party

One of the precious things in CRM team is, we are having some kind of gathering or team activities occasionally. This time, is 'room' warming (because she moved to a new 'room'... haha).

I was having a family dinner for Father's Day before this, so by the time I reached there, the 'steamboat' session is almost over, I just managed to grab last few things from the pot.

Next round, is the BBQ time.




Somebody brought us some wines, the white wine already finished before I arrived. This is the red wine, taste not bad.


I paid for this. I'm not really fancy with alcohol, if I gotta drink, I will drink wine.


Closer look. See the brand? Guess the price? hehe


After the lunch, everybody is relaxing. Some of us working in the kitchen, doing some cleaning job.

While I thought we were actully enjoying our time, suddenly I found that, the host was actually not really happy with what happened yesterday. If she really feels it that way, then it may hurt some people's feeling. Anyhow, I don't think we'll have another round for this, at the same location, with the same host anymore.

Thank you for everything!

Upset... Really?

I found her new post unintentionally.
And actually quite upset after reading it.

I don't know what have gone wrong with her, I understand that it may not be her true feeling.
She can't be so irrational like that, I would rather believe that she is just emotional.

But no matter it's from her heart or not, more or less, I feel a bit uncomfortable and upset.

I really thought that all of us were enjoying ourselves yesterday.
I thought that we were all sharing our happiness together.
I thought that everyone of us did contribute to the party, no matter what form was it.
I never thought that after all these things, she complains.

Maybe there are some other things that brought her down, but that shouldn't be an excuse to make such accuse to all the friends like us. It made us feel guilty, and will think twice if I got the same invitation again. 'free food', for me, it's very serious to me. What made her had such feelings? I wonder......

Congratulations, my friend!

It's around 11pm at night. While my friend gave me a call.

She was my old old friend... I've been knowing for > 10 years, but as far as I remember, we seldom, or even never had such chat before: 11pm at night, on the phone, for ~ 1 hour.

She called and passed me a good news.

Really a good news.

Although it's late, although I was actually very sleepy, although I actually couldn't really concentrate on my words......

Really a good news.

But on the other hands, feel some.... a little bit.... s.a.d.... maybe? haha

Anyhow, it's definitely a good thing. She has found her soulmate, lifetime partner, what else can be happier than that?

Now only I realized, actually we didn't really that 'talkative' to each others. But still, I'm grateful that she still remembers me in her very precious moment, and willing to share her happiness with me.

CONGRATULATIONS, PEY CHING!!!

Tired Boy Boy... zzz

After coming back from the warehouse sales + Giant "shopping spree" yesterday, the little fella fell asleep very fast before we reached home at around 5pm.

And then, he was in a deep sleep. Really deep. Deep until nobody could wake him up even after 2~3 hours. He always alert when he's sleeping, just slightly loud sound can wake him up. Even if he has been asleep for a few hours, when we pad him or call him softly, he will open his little eyes. But this time, really very deep sleep.

He's still not awake even I carried him out from the 'sarong' and put him on the matress on the floor.

Then I found that he got very long nails on his hands and feet (cutting nails for him is a tough job), I took a nail cutter, and started to cut his finger nails and toenails. But even after I had cut all his nails, he's still in a deep sleep~!

Gosh, he's really tired this time.

3 more........

A (H1N1) flu: M’sia reports 3 more cases

The first case was found in May 15 (according to the news), since then we never got any news for the next. When I thought that we are getting away from this disease, the news today has given us a great shock: 3 more.

As you may aware, eventhough the media and government also have been warning us to be more aware on this disease, people seems still being unconcern. Cover with your handkerchief or tissue when you sneeze or cough, wash your hands regularly, keep your distance with those who are in fever or cold....... how many people, including yourself are really following these advices?

Internet Service

My sister is currently looking for internet service for her house. Actually there aren't many choices we have here, either their services are unsatisfactory, or it's very expensive and doesn't worth the price.

As I know some other countries are having more advanced internet services such as harboursat satellite broadband, which provide you best services yet affordable charge. It would be great if the service can be available in my country.

To use the internet service, we need to check if our living area is within the coverage, you can see rural internet services are not really good in this place. If internet services can be available in any part of the country, then many people will be benefited.

Star Trek

Nowadays when my parents and I want to watch movie or go out together, my sis gotta take a day leave, because Sunday is also her working day now. And last Sunday also, she brought back "Ah Boy" so we could go out.

"Star Trek" used to be a classical drama series in the 80's, when I was still young. But frankly I can't really remember the story, even the characters. The only thing I remember, is the pointed ears guy (my brother said he's 'alien') and the beaming machine -- people can just move anywhere by a beam. It's COOL~~

I wasn't having high expectation before I stepped into the cinema, but after that, thing changed. This movie really changed the impression of "Star Trek" in my mind. We used to compare it with "Star Wars", another 'star' movie, and Star Trek always not everybody's favourite.

But this time, it's different. I like the story, I like the characters, I like the comedy in the movie......there are many funny dialogues in the movie which I didn't expect. At least, it doesn't disappoint me, I did enjoy it and like it.

Congrats, Thomas!

I would say it's another 'class reunion party'.

Whenever there was classmate got married, his or her wedding dinner would be our class reunion as all the ex-classmates would be gathered again. And we talked about our school times, played around. At the moment, we were all like riding on a time machine, back to our past, when we were still secondary school students.

I like the time so much, listening to their jokes, watching them played, making fun of each others, doing crazy things like we were still young. That's why I really enjoyed joining this kind of 'gathering', although it's quite 'expensive'... haha!

Congratulations to both of you and wishing you live happily ever after!

Rare Coins

In this economic downturn, keeping your properties is not easy. Many people start to do some other investments except keeping their money in the bank; coins investment is one of them.

If you are a coins collector, you would probably want to make them valuable. For sure you would need some experts to help you on the that, their experience in rare coins investments would help you to find more information about the marketplace, and also how to trade the rare coins in the best timing so that you can get highest payback in shortest time.

So now if you want to do investment now, you may try on coins investment and let the experts help you.

Meningitis

If I wasn't trying to find the information of the disease that happens to the JPJ trainees in Melacca, I wouldn't have known that the name of this disease actually is Meningitis (脑膜炎).

The situation is quite scary as it's just happened like that, without any precaution. Out of the first 16 people which have been confirmed hit by meningitis, one of them has died. After the Influenza A(H1N1) has caused public panicky around the world, this is really a bad news to freak everybody out.

What's happening to our world?

Next week one of our previous trainer Kaname-san will be visiting to Malaysia from Japan. Melaka trip is one of our initial plan, but now, even if they still not afraid of anything, my parents would still be scared. If they're not going to cancel it, maybe I'll just out of it.

Suspected meningitis: Total hospitalised rises to 32


Meningitis
Men`in*gi"tis\, n. [NL. See Meninges, and -itis.] (Med.) Inflammation of the membranes of the brain or spinal cord.

Gifts from friend

Whenever my foreign colleagues went back to their home country, they'll always bring back some souvenir for us, most of the time they'd bring us some local candies.

Where else delight, Cyberjaya

There are new competitors for Padi House and Old Town in Cyberjaya. 2 new restaurants have been opened since May, 2009. All the while I was just passing by, never really thought of stepping in.

This day, I decided to walk into the new place, order for some new things.

The restaurant name called "What else Delight", selling some light food, like kuih and fried beehoon, main course is vegetarian food. What I ordered was sweet and sour fish rice, and...... I forgot the name of the desert.

They use most of the space of the old car park to build the new restaurants, it looks nice, right?



The name of the restaurant:


This is sweet and sour fish rice, vegetarian style.


This is what we call "Tong Shui" in Cantonese.


The good thing is, their food prices are much cheaper than the Old Town and Padi, a fried beehoon is only RM2.50 (although still higher than other places), but of course the portion is much smaller.

But, I still prefer the environment of Old Town. Don't ask me why, it's just the feeling......
