ProgReSsss..

today managed to do the daily tasks as planned. compile this month training to boss n proposed my roles and responsibilities as i try to streamline the scopes btw my col n myself..minimize overlapping.. but he din reply my mail..

he has been in "WEIRD" mood lately n this happen ever since im back from my ROM leave..not much verbal communication nowadays, just emails..anyway, im too fed-up to care anymore.. so long im learning what i plan to learn..have lunch kaki.. have salary monthly..im satisfied.. luckily im not too demanding.. muahhh

today go n re-pick wedding gown again, cos i change my mind of the previously chosen gown..Jen went with us as she is on 2nd shift. ended up i chose two wedding gowns n remain my super pinky cheong-sam/t-dress look alike dress.. so i will have 3 gowns to swap on the wedding dinner.. now am thinking.. will i have the energy to change so many timesss?? so.. got to re-think of how i wanna arrange for the gown on that night..

monday holiday.. Yipeeeee.. looking forward to it.. Happy Labour day to all.. we need a good rest after 5 months of hard work.. +_+

WorK woRk..

mm.. this morning, the first thing i do is to tell my col to let me do the morning task.. heeee.. but guess what.. when i send the email out, he too send another similar one.. feel like throwing shoes to him.. what the heck !!! he really cant let go is it ????

so, my next step will be compiling all the lesson i've learnt and email boss to ask boss specify job scopess.. else it is tiring to everyday telling my col to "LET ME DO THE JOB" sickening..

From the system requirements, seems like sat 1/2 is a must to come back for data bckup, for Bi-Key updates, for manual restart of the gateway.. mm.. shall negotiate with boss so that this can be done alternately with this col..

i can see brighter path ahead !!! tmw i shall again remind him
"LET ME DO THE WORK !!!"

One MonTh oF TuTorinG

Started the mentoring in 4th or 5th April.. now coming to end of month... i have learnt quite a fair bit..but my col just refused to let go his work to let me take over.. sighh.. i guess all the older employee's mindset is to hold tightly to whatever they r good at..else it will be taken away by younger col..

Anyway, i will definitely fight for my "rights" to get what im assigned to do.. boss wanted me to backup him esp during his absence, he is going to Hk for a week for some project, thus, boss expect me to be competent to take over his task..

i would suggest he let me do the work and he monitor for my progress, if anything not right, he can point out.. isn't it better ??

so, i guess this is the only way to get my hands dirty on the work.. else i'll forever be watching him doing the work n not getting the chance to do it..

must pester him to let me do it.. sigh.. people is try not to do the work.. me ? i sk for it.. ghaaaa..

Ikea-Ing.. -_-

Been eying on the curtain on offer this weekdays..choose to go down after work on the first day of promotion ..excitedly.. planning to buy for our new home's balcony sliding glass door curtain (inner layer) as this is the lacing curtain and 3m in length



UNEXPECTEDLY, when we went down, we cant find the curtain that was suppose to be on promotion.. checked with the promoter.. and guess what.. "SOLD OUT" damn.. ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE OFFER AND IT IS SOLD OUT AND NO MORE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKDAY?!??!?!?!? so disappointed.. all the picture image in my mind of how the curtain look like in my balcony door..all gone...just like that.. feel cheated..

Dun have mood to look for other curtains cos the oeefr price of $9 per 2 pc still linger in mind.. all other prices are was too expensive.. sob sob..

so, again, empty handed from Ikea..sigh.. but we spotted some study room design that we like.. took picture of it.. and of course being warn by the storekeeper.. ghaa.a. i took some with my phone.. lallalala.. n the dressing table design is simple.. just the way i like.. guess.. my new home will have many ikea design.. including those ratan chest.. those small vase.. those mirror.. those lights.. those racks.. those flower pots.. those tables... kiakiakiakiakia....

X-ComApny UpdAtes

Heard from one of my x-col (on-site engineer) that my x-company will be offshoring the solution centre to India (darn, indians r taking aways all our jobsss), so they r now waiting for company to offer them with other positions or look for other jobs elsewhere..

As for other c-cols who moved to agilent, r impacted with the offshoring, as they r on contract, thus, no more contract for the support, they too have to look for jobs elsewhere.. so far, i heard only one got job, the rest still looking i guess..

Irene was saying, Kenny n I are lucky cos our new job is not related to HP support anymore, thus no impact like my other x-cols.. phew... so after all i've made a wise choice to leave Unix team.. heeee..

Today i took nap (no my usual routine to sleep in the afternoon ) but after morning workout n go back to office, im tired maybe.. so i slept from 2 plus till 5 plus.. hoo.. cool..n i dun have any dicturbance from dreams.. total 3 hours of sleep. i hope i can still sleep tonight..

WeeKend..buSy Oooo..

Today have few appointments..with bank, with contractor n with bridal shop

First, Amro courier sent thec credit card documents to sign.. another credit card to apply.. nowadys credit card is too common, ah dog, ah cat also have..

Secondly, meet renovation contractor at new house, check for any defects..taken many pictures when we stepped into the house, JL even took video introducing each entrance of the house including me..
The contractor came n check, no defects, no cracks, he seemed surprise as some units at other blocks have lots of tile cracking. our toilet door is new, n the tiles all in good condition, kicthen tiles in good form too..so after discussing what we proposed to have on the renovation and we shall meet up after they came out with the 3D design.. also mean money paying time..

Third, look for mattress..but, not getting what we want, so we head to the last appointment of the day --> gown choosing.. we took 3 hours to get my wedding gown + dinner gown, and less than 30 minutes for JL's two suits.. heeee..

My gown is quite sexy as the stomach portion is transparent n bare back n it has super wide spread tails....n the dinner gown will be layering with lace n tube type.. i look sexy n elegance.. ghaaaa.....now left the photo taking in July..

Next week, we will be busy with the house renovation, on the design we want and also the furnitures..excited and enjoy the process of building up our home sweet home.. now i can go n o o .. sweet dreammmssss

I nEeD moRe CalCium....

I got to cut cut cut down on coffee consumption.. i drink too much coffee till i can still sleep n yawn n yawn n yawn after drinking coffee.. no effect anymore.. n i don't take enough milk/soya bean or any calcium related food..

so i've decided to cut down on coffee.. the most one cup per day.. morning i will drink milk.. just bought one packet of chocolate Anlene milk powder..n will tryyyyyy my best to eat more milk related food like cheese/yogurt/what else?? blank.. what other food with calcium...

Maybe if i stop coffee.. i will have whiter teeth.. blink blink.. remind me to see dentist..haven extract my wisdom teeth..so much things to do.. but im just too lazy to get it done..my study table is starting to pile up again...something inside me is telling me to tidy but physically i just cant seem to do it.. lazinessssssssss...

Get oVer wiTH...

mm..enough of my ROM.. i purposely dun add new blog cos i want the first thing i see when come to my blog is my ROM pic.. heeee.. so niceee.. ghaaaaa.. thick skin really.. but i just cant help it.. see the photos so many times still like to see..i'll get over it soon.. i hope.. kekkekee

Saw sue's blog on her new hair style..so tempting.. i haven cut short hair for many years now.. been keeping my hair at least at/over shoulder length cos i like to tie my hair up.. make me look "younger".. ahem.. yeah age is catching up..so youth look is very important now..neeway.. i quit dying hair now..i've been dying hair for years and decided not to dye this year (new year resolution maybe) just dun feel like having too much colour on my hair, not easy to maintain as when hair starts to grow, need to re-dye again n again.. but when see others dying.. i felt tempted..grrrrr.... so indecisive.. but till now i haven dye.. so i guess i've get over hair dying too..

work has been .."weird".. cos boss seems to be angry with me on something which i dunno what.. ever since i came back from my ROM leave, he eacted this way.. somehow.. i suspected he angry cos i din tell him i ROM ? but i din tell/invite other cols too..plan to only invite them to my wedding dinner.. so now he dun lunch with me.. dun communicate verbally , use email instead.. n cols start asking me why.. and i was like .. " im puzzled too.. but what the heck.. im here to work.. not to see boss face to live my life.." so i'll get over this as well.. soon..

what else i'll get over ? oh yeah the jerk sister of mine.. anyway.. i'll get over it too.. cos i think if she intends to make my life difficult.. be with it..cos at the end.. it will be she herself who is "difficult" by thinking of how to make other's life difficult.. complicated as it seems.. but that's life..i have better things to think and do that be in her game to make me angry.. what the heck..

So my this month resolution is to get over things that i haven get over..

REASON, SEASON or a LIFETIME

I find these meaningful..

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON:

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need
you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty,to provide you with guidance and support, to aid youphysically, emotionally or spiritually.
(or for you to offer the same FOR or to THEM).
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A SEASON:
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has
come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real.But only for a season.

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A LIFETIME:
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must
build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Back...

Haven online from home for some time..cos lazy.. always see PC at work.. wanna let my eyes rest..

In the midst of reading another Dan Brown's book.. but again.. not really that exciting as da Vinci.. so been holding it for more than a week still cant finish.. Col finished Da Vinci and gotten the same conclusion as me.. actually it's a treasure hunt to no where.. so i guess i wont read more of his book unless good comment..

m.. what have i been doing for the past 2 weeks..Jenny called up and she n husband will be coming to S'pore as his husband will be posted to s'pore.. so i have one buddy here.. her baby will be coming over too..

been very keen on furnitures/electrical appliances/renovation for my new home..still in the process of gathering our minds on what style n design we want...

Been very fed-up with Jeff as he is throwing his misc work to me.. n we've been wondering.. what has he been doing since i have done most for him ?!?!?!?.. jerk !!!

Hopefully i will go for course in May as approved by bosses..lalla.. after that my training should be started..cos i really need to concentrate on swift..this is my Y2006 resolution to be actively involved in swift....

Da vIncI codE.. The eND..

i've finished reading.. but the ending a bit.. errr.. catch no ball..

what is it actually that he found ?? What is "The truth" ?? no map... no treasure or anything ?? just the few last lines guiding him to the place where the grave of Mary Magdalene was ? so what is it about the Holy Grail

chasing for the truth and at the end this is what i get.. mm.. a bit disappointed..apa lahh..

I wonder how will the story be in movie.. maybe will get a clearer picture by visualising it instead...

But it's not encouraging knowing that Tom Hank will be "Robert Langdon"..
Tom Hank not good looking and i cant see his charm.. im stuck with his image in Forrest Gump.. that ah gong...no motivation to watch....

TiRed ALL da TimE..

been feeling tired.. not sure is it b'cos i've been exercising for few days consecutively or b'cos i've used up too much brain power or my body is givin signal tat im not healthy..

i take multi-vitamins.. i eat.. i drink fruit juice.. i try to drink as much water..i exercise.. what else ?? still im feeling tired easily..i sleep.. but i still have dark ring..

dyinggggg.....

GaLs GatHEriNg..

Finally after so many months.. we gathered for dinner... my treat as i promised to buy them meal after my confirmation n pay rise..too bad master cant join us..

like usual.. catching up on their life.. not much though.. just some casual chit chat n get to know meilin + suh will be going to japan for holidays in April..n meilin finally said she wants to find bf this year as one of her Y2006 resolution and to change job..

jia still looking for new job..suh happy with her current job..and seems like she has been busy with acticities..not sure what activities.. maybe movie watching or something.. she prefers to keep it secretive..

mm....not much such gathering nowadays as we all busy with our own lives...all the best to my three gal friends whom accompanied me during my U days.. without them life will be bored...

It'S ovER...

i've been enjoying my 3 days of the week.. doing my own stuff.. surfing net for home design..making appointments for dentist.. for bridal gown.. confirming French class registration details...apply credit cards..helping sis n her col to apply credit card..searching for books.. anything but work....

tmw boss back to work.. sob sob.. prepare for lots of work waiting ahead...i've done what i think should be done during his absence.. so hopefully tmw he wont ask for something out of the blue again...daaaaa.. anyway if he ask.. just do it lorrr..

school holidays parents take turn to take leave..wonder y he dun take few weeks off..we will be all enjoy our working day....ghaaaa.. however nice ur boss is.. there is still pressure when he is around..

two more weeks... i'll be Mrs.Ong.. still cant believe i've come to this stage of my life..commited wholeheartedly to one man..

a col told me, the moment when asked to look into each other's eye and said "i Do" and sign.. u will surely hesitate for a moment or even hand shiver...

mm.. i dun agree with him... anyway.. i told him i will tell him about that after my ROM...as i strongly believed i will not have any hesitation in signing or committed to my darling.. else we wont have come this far in the first place...

Love you dear..

W@rK hArd or HarDLy WoRk..

siann... today DR.. working again.. actually nothing much to do.. dunno y must go back.. so.. basically im working 6 days a week now for consecutively 6 weeks...im starting to admire the energy running in me that can hold that long....

Luckily im paid to go back..not much work but hang out more than work...siaoooo....i hope this weekend i can finally rest at home on sunday.. phewwwww..cos the sunday after that will have power diversion again.. damnnnn....

Da Vinci Code..

Heard about this book for some time.. col always try to get from library but always taken by others..

so happened to talk abt it on our way home in train with boss.. he said he bought for his son..so he can lend it to me..

so. now im reading "Da Vinci Code".. not sure whether it's really that good.. cos im not sure what it is about anyway.. just started yesterday.. something abt this professor or lecturer.. n some murder case which needed his expertise to investigate ?? shall continue n fine out more..

DA vinCi-ng....

W@rK harD.. PlaY haRdeR..

graph.. chart.. statistics.. darn.. been staring at the bar chart for days.. changes after changes.. never ending..im going blind..purposely use "green" which is good for the eyes. but still im feeling so tired looking at it..

actually.. dun have much work this week..very slumber...not many meetings.. not many new thing to implement/plan.. just some here n there work...but still feeling tired..damnnnn.. im aging..

been exercising for 3 days this week.. run n run.. cos i eat n eat.. so must balance...yesterday went It show with cols.. again go geylang eat..today Crystal jade..one funny incident which i really have nothing to say..

this vendor of ours always buy us lunch whenever my boss give him projects or assignment..cos projects mean revenue to their company.. n our project usually involving lots of money.. so give n take.. boss create revenue for them.. they do thr work.. n they buy lunch.. mmm.. sounds fair ??

today.. like usual.. we have some proposed project to kick off.. so she came in.. n after discussion, as usual.. she buy lunch.. n while lunching.my boss received an sms..and when he looked at it.. he has this very shock expression..but he din say anything.. so.. we din ask much..vendor phone ring and she excused herself to listen to her phone call outside.... boss told us(jeff n i).." she sent sms wrongly to me.. she intend to send to her boss but maybe press too fast n send to me.."
when she came back, she ask boss for permission to allow one of her customer to visit our data centre.." . well.. boss said ok.. cos he know she buy lunch with intention...

after the lunch, while she is paying.. boss show us the sms
" the man is asking for free lunch again,im sure after this free lunch he will agree with customer visit"

hooooooooooooooooo.............i felt so embarass for the vendor for making such a mistake to customer...well.. my boss know this is a kind of business handshake.. give n take.. so.. no need to entangle over such sms...

this remind me to always careful when sending sms.. click wrongly that's it.. n people will forever have bad impression towards u...

W@rk On SUndAysSsssss..

super demoralising..before confirmation, i can claim $20 per hour.. so 8 hours means $160.. now.. i got the most $72 for 8 hours work on weekends.. so demoralising...now i realise why no motivation to go work on weekends...

I've been asked to go back to work almost every sundays now.. consecutively 4 weeks in a row..most of the sundays is to go back n work with Jeff on the power stuff.. super fed-up with it already.. we r not facility guy why must be spend so much time on this stupid thing ??? get a CONSULTANT !! that's what they r for !! let them have chance to get some $$ in their pocket.. shake head

Jeff said during my absence on friday, boss angry with many issues.. and told jeff that whenim not aroudn..it's like they miss a left n right hand.. woahh.. dunno to be happy or to be sad..i still have many leaves that i plan to clear.. mm.. i still have 21 days this year.. muahhh.... cant believe i have so much leaves till im a bit overwhelm with how to spend them.. muaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh......


today, call ngee koon while waiting for power reading updates.. she sounded the same..i called her cos i din reply her sms yest so just say hello lor.. she said she will be goin to UK for a vacation as her fren is posting there for few months..cool.. then after our conversation.. she sms said she broke off with Dennis but she is fine.. heee.. i din touch on this part during our conversation.. maybe she sense that i have reason to call her ? ghaaa.. clever ger.. anyway.. i told her to have fun and share her pictures from UK trip..

then Iris sms.. asked to meet up on 18th (sat) for dinner.. just gals outing..it's been so long though..after she left HP n after we left HP.. abt 2 years already since i meet up with her.. very cute ger..so seems like we shall have our girl's chit-chat time again.. we have lots to ke-po.. 4 gals..

Bk-mother, Me-getting married, Gis-looking for mr right, iris- mm.not sure status..got to find out

and i managed to call Hwee Li. she again will fly. this time to HK for dunno howmany days. cos she said just got her ticket there .. return ticket leave open as this trip is to do implementation.. u=if successful can come back soon else.. her life is very very fulfilling.. the travelling.. the $$.. the job satisfaction..she only lack the one to share her life.. hope she finds him soon.. so long not ah neh from india.. or sawadikap from bangkok.. fair, tall ,well-build man will catch her attention.. ghaaaa..

another weeekend passed...

Old FRiEnd..

dunno why i suddenly tot of her.. ngee koon an old fren during STPM time..while waiting for JL at food court.. sms her.

"Hello how r u there..Long time no see hope u r fine..nothing just say hello cos wee wen called regarding her wedding tot of ui cant go though.stay cheerful"

she then replied me
"i got ur sms but cant get the name. can you introduce urself "

fainted.. scold her..
"U laoya la never keep my phone no Im lee huei la"

she then replied
"oh.. just investigated. not that i didn't have ur no. actually saved twice.under Le huei n Lim Lee Huei, that's why name didn't appear!haiya..Me fine, u "

i din reply her.. cos my intention is just to say hello for an old friend.. heard abt her breaking off with her long-term bf during the gathering with bee bee they all in december.. wonder how she cope with the broken heart ??

But.. from what i sense during Jenny's wedding .. the bf came n pick me up and ngee koon to the dinner.. ngee koon n him really really dun look/feel like couple.. cos.. how to say.. usually couples deeply in love will very naturally cant get enough of each other.. hand holding.. hugs..kisses.. but she is like the bf ask to hold hand then she hold.. the bf ask to stay close.. then she move closer..

At first i tot.. mm.. maybe cos she shy to show ? but after the news of them breaking off.. maybe the relationship has some problem even during that time ??

sigh...we cant predict many things.. the bf n her have been together for at least 4 to 5 years ? dunno wat's the real reasons though.. just hope she is doing fine..

we used to have lots of fun together...a very cheerful n happy going fren..
