Baby Nursery decoration

I always want to make my little boy a nursery room, but feedback from lots of people is "do you really need to spend so much money on this?" My litte one turning to 11 mths soon and will be celebrating his 1st birthday in 1 month time, so am thinking to start decorating his room for him. I found this site which gives me some idea how to decorate my baby's room.


If you are the kid, won't you wish that your parents will turn your room into a nice and cozy room for you? For me, i always dream of having a disney theme Myself likes wall paper very much, and i also aware that it's very costly. But they are really nice and cool !


I went to Island Hospital to visit friend's newborn baby. The wall paper for the nursery wall look so nice, so calming to me, and i like the roller blind very much. The design of the roller blind is teddy bears. I do have one roller blind in my master bed-room, but it's in plain color, without any design. If i move to new house in near future, i will surely do more survey on curtains and blinds :)

Baby food recipes

I always have hard time what to cook for my baby over the weekend. So far, we only introduce certain type of veggies to him ever since he started having solid. Sometime i wonder will he feel bored with all those veggie? Hubb always told me that baby won't be so choosy on food as they never expose to much choices. But then, i feel bored cooking the same thing over and over.

Finally, i found a cool site talking about baby food which i like it so much. I will screen through and hopefully i will have something new for my little boy on this weekend. However, before my little one get to try on the new recipe, hubb needs to approve and agree then only i am allow to cook it.

I can't wait to share this site with hubb and go shop for other type of veggies for our little boy!

Property

All the while, i am dreaming for a landed property. The landed property in Penang Island is overpriced now, but yet, there is still lots of people looking for landed property. Why? Let me tell you why i always dream for a landed property:-
Designated shaded parking place for more than 1 car
Small compound to move around
Don't have to pay monthly maintenance fee
Free to paint the exterior of the unit according to own preference


It's not an easy task to get the housing agent to get you a good house at reasonable price as most of the time, the agent will top up certain percentage from whatever price that the owner intend to sell...And worst still, some agents, they may share the info with others, so ended up, the price for the same unit could be different among different agents. I had this bad experience before.

Now, i found few sites which is cool, you may refer to Penang Property, iProperty.com, Richomes, Penang Real Estate Property. You can customise your search, get some idea on the price range, then your next step could be, buy a local chinese newspaper, search for other agents' phone number and call them, schdule for appointment to view the unit....with some reference, al least you wont get cheated by some of those agent.

So, why wait any further, ACTION!!! GO GO GO!!! If you mange to find a good deal, remember to drop me your agent's contact number ya!

Something about my job

Ewwww...what a boring topic. Yes yes, i know it's boring, but i need to let go my feeling now! So frustrated after my usual weekly telecon with my boss.

Earlier, i checked with boss on what are the upcoming planning project than i can participate in, and the answer is, "nope, there isn't any upcoming project for planning, but for procurement team, they need some help" So, he asked whether can i help temporary. So, i agree with his proposal, but then, the feedback from procurement manager is, they need someone with content expert to help in the existing project. Hello...excuse me, it's in the middle of the project and you ask for help, and yet you looking for content expert...dreaming? WAKE UP WAKE UP! Then, ok, since they looking for content expert in procurement and i am not, then forget about it.

After that, boss approached me again, said that there is good opportunity in procurement whereby i can learn something new, good for my career development, as usual, management talk, bla bla..and indirectly want me to move to procurement. What can i say? So i said "ok ok " even though deep down my heart, i am not willingly to move to procurement, mainly few reasons :-
The mentor that i'm going to have will not be as GREAT as my current mentor.
The manager style is local manager, everything also want to know...sigh

I did have a 1:1 session with the procurement manager, i asked for specific role and responsibility, she can't tell, she can't give...so i feedback to my boss about this. And he said he will work on this for me...see, where got chance for me to say no with the arrangement...so sit and wait!

And today, boss told me, he,and the proc and their boss agreed with transitioning me over to procurement. Hello, agreed? Me agree? No no, i don't get to have any say! So gotta accept what is being put into my bowl, else i bet in the next round of redeployment, my name will be top of the list.

The whole thing looks like a trap to me, first ask me to help , then later said they decided and agree to move me to procurement. Even though there is thousand and one NO NO NO deep in my heart, i can't voice it out, because they won't listen!!!!! So what for i voice it out!

Good service? Bad service?

Ok, let you be the judge!

I ordered a pizza as friends coming over to my cozy apt for lunch cum apt viewing. Around 11am, i called up and ordered a set meal for 2~3 person and the flavor of the pizza is royale masala. I quite like it as it's a bit spicy taste.

Around 11:45am, i received the delivery. Paid RM25 happily and waited for friend. Friend arrived around 12:10pm, so we chatted for a while, tour around the small apt...yeah, tour around, and sounds like my apt very big huh...hahaha..not to tell you the exact size, if wanna know, come to pay me a visit huh!

Around 12:30pm, i received a phone call from pizza hut, saying....the coleslaw that they send me earlier is expired and asked me not to eat it. Gosh, luckily we didn't start eating upon the guest of honor's arrival, luckily we chit chat for a while. Well, what u expect, for girls, usually we chit chat more than eating when meeting up each others.hahahah! So, they will replace the coleslaw with cream of mushroom soup and will arrive at my place in 5 mins time. Wow, less than 5 mins, door bell rang and the same delivery guy stand outside the door and pass me the soup. The guy kept apologies with me, he is so polite. It's not his fault anyway, he is just a delivery man, delivering the food per the order, but yet he is so polite.

So, the food is expired and they didn't check it before delivery it to customer - bad customer service, but they do make an afford to call up to stop us from eating it - good customer service, and when the delivery man replace the order, he kept apologies as if it's his fault - good customer service. So, what do you think as overall, good or bad?

Hmm..as for me, i doubt i will call for pizza delivery in near future, at least for couple of months til i forget about this incident..hahaha
