Sometimes what you want, you don't get, what you don't want is offered to you.
Nicely packaged too but don't be deceived by its outlook.
The question is...dare you take the risk?
If so, which risk?

Happy New Year
It's been so long....so so long that I hardly remember to blog liao. Getting lazy and busy as well. Not to say...I dun even read blogs.
So, new year...some had made new resolutions but me ? Hmm...nah... I dun and had never made any. I tend to act more on my feelings and wants (that explains on many of my unnecessary purchases, my dad complained I bought too many sandals, ueek~~!). Oh...not forgetting the dozens of clothes... (still can wear and some, hopefully can wear again - provided I manage to shed off few more kilos in .....5 yrs time?)
Hahaha....I doubt I ever can...but last year wasn't bad. I did shed off some kilos, and indeed, some clothes had waited like 4 yrs for me. Haha, was glad I didn't throw / give them away. Normally, I dun buy clothes according to trend...so still can recycle la. But seriously, I need to housekeep my cupboard again (the last time was last month). Now the doors can hardly close. But..really sayang those clothes...I think I need to give them away and come to reality I own way too many clothes which I dun wear anymore. Then, I will have more space, more room for MORE clothes, muahahahaha ~~!!
Now I need to find time to clear it...so can shop :)
But wait....when to shop ? Quarter end again and I need support during CNY...so so no mood.
Duh...

It's over
Finally the rush is over for the closing of quarter end.
But I still need to update management on the backlog numbers.
I thought it would be a better quarter in the sense can go home earlier. It was good enough that I did not have to work till 5am this Qtr. Last Qtr I worked till early morning. Last nite, I could log off at 3am. Had 4 hours sleep, had been sleeping few hours only for whole month.
Well...no thanks to Sales downloading last min (as usual la) and forwarder not aware and unable to pick up due to no warehouse to store....a lot of negotiations, calls, arguement, etc....
Rude ppl, rude mgr, brainless ppl...all u can see... of coz they are also nice ppl, helpful ones, responsible and committed ones.... Thank God for these angels.
Mary, WY and myself stayed till 11.30pm before we went for our late dinner at Teluk Bayan. Poor Mary forgot to shift her car from the back carpark....(stupid mgt set new rules...car park close at 9pm!!). Ah Juice (WY's bf) came to fetch us, they helped Mary to get security to unlock the gate while I finished off my last few reports.
Meow came to meet me...he din eat coz meeting Sloz, Ronnie and Eric for supper. He dropped me home first, I really tired n need to shower.
Logistics guy call me...got hope for an almost confirmed backlog....I shower...log on to work again....
Sat will be sleeping till late...but not very late coz need to send reports to mgt. Sigh....boh pien la. I will catch up on my sleep before CNY.

Be Thankful and Positive
I am getting busier and busier everyday, not only with work but also personal life. Yes, life your day to the fullest, enjoy and free your mind.
Even when the worst thing happened, you can still be happy / glad….it’s all just abt changing your mindset. YOU, yes, you, yourself can decide to make yr day meaningful and happy or stay sad / self-pity.
No ? Don’t agree? Emmm…then u need to learn to be more positive.
The other day, I had a fall at office’s employee entrance, I scanned out from the glass door, took few steps, slipped and fell onto the tar slope. I ‘sat’ on the tar road with my two legs straight out and my notebook bags still on my back, my umbrella in hand, another shopping bag on my shoulder and sling back over another shoulder….it was as if I stepped onto a banana skin and jzzzuuuuuppp....sat down hard on my buttock. I was wearing flat sandals at that time.
My back hurts due to the fall; and the impact has also damaged my cellphone (in my bag) which I believe happened to ‘cushion’ my fall.
My hp’s LCD cracked and I cannot see half of the screen’s display. By right, I should be very upset, my fav. hp is damaged and I almost injured myself or broke a spine.
I raised this incident to EHS (Environment, Health & Safety) Manager, who then passed the issue to Facilities manager, who then said will look into it. First thing he asked was "u were wearing heels?" (trying to make me feel it was my own carelessness). They even asked me to suggest what can be done????!
Goodness…!! EHS manager asked if they should place a mat there? I asked him “how are the trolleys gonna pass?” He was silence for a while….in the end, I had to suggest for them to put a sign to alert employees / maybe only allow employees to use the other entrance with steps, instead on the other with slope. (Can’t belief they are 'sitting' at such high level ! )
Now, who will pity me if I have a fracture, injured my spine, bled ? Who will pity me that my hp is damaged ?
No one ! Neither would I pity myself. I am just so glad and thankful to God that my hp is damaged. If not for my sling bag which I have sat on during that fall, I could be lying in bed now for dunno how long. The umbrella could’ve poked/hurt me during the fall. But, I am happy that it’s only my hp that is broken and some pain in the butt….still painful leh.
I just wonder if what Facility and EHS is doing, no action, still no sign to alert (already 2 days after my complain)….no compensation / apology / nothing to me.
God saved me….I just hope no one else faces the same unfortunate incident. God Bless !

Who's to be Blamed?
When yr new staff / colleague made some mistakes, do u make him/her uncomfortable by putting all the blames on him/her?
This morning, a senior asked a junior (3 mths) to check on something. Then that senior wrote an email to shoot another dept based on the info given by that junior. Later, that dept shoot back that senior coz it turned out that dept really did their job, and the junior overlooked. Junior is not well versed with excel skills…does not know that need to ‘show all’ the data before Ctrl+F (it was in filter mode), thus thought the order was not in the list. That was before lunch.
We went down to cafeteria first…later Senior came to join us…as soon as the senior reached our table, in a very accused tone…. called the junior’s name….. “[Name…..]…… I am in deep trouble now….I kena shoot liao…why u didn’t check properly?”
U can see that junior’s face changed in a very worried, scared expression.
Senior continued to nag “Mon already 3 escalations, now this one….I am so embarrassed, how come u did not check first?”
Junior too worried and whispered to me “die ler die ler, I was so sure I checked, a few times also…how come….die ler…..” (when Senior went to buy lunch).
I told her not to worry too much, ppl make mistakes all the time.
Senior came back with his lunch…. Nag again…. “aiyo….i really dunno how to settle this, kena shoot already, how can u not check properly?”
I cannot tahan liao, I said “In the first place, when wanna shoot ppl, I would re-check again everything….. “
Senior 'denying' his own responsibilty, turned to Junior “I asked u to check right….?” (shook head) ….. “Now really dunno how, I kena liao”
I said “No big deal….just lay low and apologized for over-looking. Ppl learn from mistakes ma. Junior not familiar with Excel, next time be more careful lor”.
Senior “sigh….!” Shook head again and again.
I dun like this Senior’s attitude on this matter. When mistakes happen, as a senior, I believe we need to guide the juniors, let them learn and be aware, not make them feel scared / threatened. Moreover, I feel this Senior was too eager at the chance to escalate that dept, thus did not perform own checking. It’s simply unfair to let the junior take the whole blame. Very unprofessional….but that’s work life, sigh !

Balloons to Cheer
Last Fri, Sales dept has purple and white balloons around them...this time dunno for launching what ....or just to create a nice and happy environment. I heard it cost abt RM 2 per balloon.
Hmmm.....I guess it's worth kua...if the few hundreds cost can help churn in few hundred thousands....and to some, probably can ease off the stress a little. Not for me...I am scared of balloons....but anyway, I got one for my new colleague WY when a guy asked me if I want one. She looked happy when I passed it to her....Balloon works wonder huh?
