It's hurt til bottom of my feet!

MIL called hubb on 27th Oct around 5:30pm (i must record down the date and time!!!)and hubb passed the phone to me. Eventhough i don't feel like talking to her but then i still force myself to talk over the phone, but guess what?!!!!

She said she thought i only take care Kaitlyn and IGNORE Kelvin til Kelvin has fever! WTF!! I don't mind if peopls criticise me saying i am not a good wife, i am not a good daughter, i am not a good daughter in law, i am not a good sister, BUT I DO MIND when it comes to people's comment on how i handle my kids! To me, they are EVERYTHING, i am willing to sacrify ANYTHING for my kids! I almost want to F her over the phone, but i do control myself, i responded to her by telling her "both also my own kids, there isn't any special preference over the newborn!" WTF! Then she said she is joking with me, WTF! It's not humor at ALL! Her word really hurt me thoroughly! I immediately lost my appetite and walked into the toiler and cry! This is the only way to release my sadness on someone who claimed joking with me. But to me, this is not a JOKE! I hesitate whether should i let hubb know or not.....and i thought i can handle the comment but at the end i choose to tell hubb on his mom's comment on me. Well, expected, he just kept quiet. Afterall, i don't expect much from him, afterall, SHE is HIS MOM!

And MIL further added saying that initially she want to come to Penang to help up! My GOSH, C'on, come to Penang to help?? Help what??!! She can't drive, can't walk in the mall all by herself, and i don't talk with her...if she comes here, what she can help up? Make me even more uncomfortable only! And i told her "NO NEED, my mom is helping me to get all the things that the confinement lady want!" Just LEAVE ME ALONE, PLEASE!

If they are really so thoughtful, pls sit down and think, WHAT HAVE THEY DONE FOR MY 2 KIDS?!!!! DAMN! I am so piss off!

Putu Mayong

I've been thinking of putu mayong for few days...and yesterday night after our family dinner at CRC restaurant, i asked dad to detour to Pulau Tikus market to buy putu mayong.

At first, we wanna share it with our little sweetie, Kelvin, however, as soon as we reached home, he went into the room, ask for milk then go to his lala-land. So end up, me and hubb share the putu mayong. Yum yum, i love the brown sugar, but i didn't wallop lots of brown sugar as i am not suppose to take too much of sugar at this point of time.

After mayong, i went to lala-land happily. But....i keep roll left and right, can't sleep well as baby is doing gymnastic inside! For the past few nights, i can't sleep well, it's either baby doing gym inside or i gotta wake up for wee wee.

Many types of people

Since our new house will be ready before i deliver, so we started to engaged with housing agent to advertise our existing apt. Can say that the respond quite good, lots of people coming to view our apt, however, only few of them come back with the price in their mind. We asked for RM290k, and so far there is people offering us RM260, RM270k. Since we are not in hurry to sell of the apt, so we just turn them down.

It's fun to see many types of people which you may or may not bump into.

First funny people
There is one aunty come to view the unit, and she walk here and there, look up and down, go in and out, then she keep asking how come there is some paint falling off from the bathroom ceiling. The agent told her it's due to water wapor in the bathroom causing that. Frankly, i totally forgot about it, if i remember, i will ask hubb to repaint that particular portion, but who cares! Then she told us she has a friend staying in same block bla bla bla. Hey, i don't want to know about you and your friend. Then she asked what will be the possible rental if she wants to rent the unit after she buy it. **As if she will buy**. Me and the agent sense something wrong so we just entertain the aunty and faster kick her out from the apt.

Second funny people
A lady comes with 2 kids. And apprently it's her sister who wants to look for apt. So that lady also follow the previous aunty, walk in and out, and also keep asking about the bathroom ceiling. The agent gets annoyed a bit as he already kept assuring the aunty and that lady that it's nothing to do with leaking.

Third funny people
A couple come to view the house with CAMERA. The guy take pic here and there, DUH! Should have told him RM5 per snap shot. Frankly, this is first time i see people doing so. Even when during we hunt for another home sweet home, i don't bother to remember every single corner of the house that i viewed.

Forth funny people
The couple said the max they can offer is RM270k, but insist to have second view. So..what to do, customer is KING! So let them have second view again. And the guy asked hubb, "in your opinion, which area tof the apt hat i may need to renovate?" So hubb told him, "up to you, if u want to go for more romantic environment, then install more dim light in house;you may replace the existing marble witl tiles; you may replace the parque with laminated floor; you may do this do that....bla bla!"

Fifth funny people
A unmarried couple want to look for apt, so the guy bring along 2 aunties to view the apt. When i open the balcony door, and one of the aunty asked "oh..u stay here?" and i was like "YES! *cannot ar*", then the aunty asked again " you are the owner?", i was like *WHAT??!! Cannot meh?? aunty u come to check my background or come to view the apt!* Then i walked away, and the other aunty come to ask me "this place so nice, why you want to sell it?" i thought of telling her "aunty, if i have the thinking as you, i will FOREVER and EVER stay in this apt, won't get to stay in better place! DUH!" or should i tell her "aunty, i tell u, this place got ghost!"

Sixth funny people
View the house, ask this and that and asked hubb what is the best price we can accept. I gets annoyed with all these funny people and before hubb can say anything i cut in and tell the lady, "why not you go home and think about it and let the agent know the best price that you will offer" so i guess, this lady will not get back to the agent and offer any price. but WHO CARES!

Keysssss for our new home sweet home!

At last,after long wait, we finally get the keys for our new home sweet home. In fact, all the paper work done by mid of April, however, the previous owner would like to rent the house with us for another 3 months, so since we are not in hurry to move in to the new house, so we rent it out to them.
After 3.5 months, finally we officially get the house key on today, 2nd Aug 2008. Our little one so busy exploring every single corner of the house and keeps going up and down the stairs. My mom said it's a good sign as kid usually very sensitive to new environment, if the small one is happy with the new environment, means the house is good to stay. Well, this is old wive tales, but since no harm to believe it, right? But for me, i am so tired following him up and down the stairs. And imagine, i am carrying a big balloon in front of me and i am so clumsy, going up stairs not so tiring for me, but the going down stairs, geez, i need to balance myself and at the same time hold the little one.

We stayed in the new house for almost 2 hours, then it's time for the little one to take his afternoon nap.

It's back! It's back!!!

Has been quite long i didn't crave for food and this feel come back again!!!
I suddenly think of eating red bean soup with Japanese mochi!!! I had this when we were having buffet lunch in Kampachi Restaurant at EQ Hotel. I wallop 3 small bowl of red bean soup with mochi, and then forget about it until today....

How ar? This weekend cook red bean soup and make own chinese muar chee and add it into the soup to kill the crave?? But then, can i hold on my crave til this weekend or will i have another new and weird craving on tomorrow??

Ohhhh ouuu !

For these few weeks, i seems don't have good appepetite like what what people a preggie should have. No doubt that i feel hungry easily, but i don't have appetite to eat. Whenever i am hungry and as soon as i see some food, i feel full. No idea what i want to eat, all food seems kinda bored to me. I wanted to eat something nice, something special, which i don't know what is that call. Maybe one day i will find out the name of the so call special food that i am thinking of.

So far, i gain about 5 kg and i am aat 23 weeks now. Since doc didn't complain on my weight gain nowadays, so i also take it easy, if i don't feel like eating, then i will just look for some snack and munch, that's it!As for dinner, i don't feel like taking rice, so i will just wallap a fish, that's it. And during this pregnancy, i don't take supper, mainly i prefer sleep more than eat, secondly, i need to tug my sweetie cheey son to bed.

Hmm, my pregnancy hormone make me crazy again?? probably! HAHAHA! Happy preggie-ing!

Challenge #1

Took the challenge to be at home with Kelvin for half a day. So far so good and fun!

Hubb is at home with us on first half and he has to go to office in the second half, so i am staying at home with Kelvin alone on the second half of the day. Kinda fun and interesting.

First, i need to leave the whining toddler in the room while i prepare his milk in the kitchen. I need to be able to stand the whining from him, he will keep calling "mummy!mummy!" from the room and i will be busy responding to him "yes, dear, mummy is in the kitchen preparing milk for you!"

Then, i need to tug him to bed by using lots of tricks. Kelvin very playful and will refuse to sleep if you do not FORCE him to sleep. I tried to use the same tactic as what i do for every night which is tell him story and hope that he wll doze off, but this way fail for day time. As he sees the sky is bright, he will refuse to sleep even though i put the curtain on, but yet some sun light still can come into the room. So i gotta lye beside him, talk to him, also fail...until finally, i asked him to keep quiet, listen to the sound of the air coming from the air cond. Phew, this work!! Within 1 min, he doze off!

After 45 mins, when i was in kitchen getting myself a cup of water, heard toy sound coming from the room, quickly go into the room, he was sitting on the bed, facing the window playing with his toys. Quickly, lye him down and talk to him, tried to ask him listen to the sound of the air cond, this time doesn't work, so let him whine for a while and the hug him tight phew...he fall asleep again.

So, with this achievement, do i qualify to be SAHM?? hahaha....

Be TOUGH, Be STRONG!

Nowadays i no longer give face to HER. If she comes to me find trouble unreasonably, i will fight back softly. Why suddenly i decide to speak out? Because i have my own place, ngek ngek ngek (cunning smile) Shhhhh...for those who know what is my plan, wish me luck ok! For those who doesn't know what is my plan, stay tune and u will know after 5 mths time!

Well, everyone has their own limit of tolerance, and don't take it as granted that you can play around with other's tolerance limit.

And thanks to all of your encouragement word when i feel down after i get tortured by HER.
I need lotsa lotsa lotsa wishes and blessing from ALL OF YOU to make my plan come true!!!

Up Up Up!!

Nowadays almost every few mths, we will receive either rumors or actual announcement on this price goes up that price goes up. And we will only get to know what is the % of our salary goes up ONCE a YEAR. And for some people. they are not so lucky, they may have ZERO INCREMENT for that yr.

Before Chinese New Year, a bowl of hokkien mee will cost us RM2.20, during Chinese New Year, the price may gets adjusted to be RM2.5. And after that, the price of the noodle will stick at RM2.5. And when govt announce that there will be increase in price for noddle, then, the price for a bowl of Hokkien mee being adjusted to RM2.7...and soon it will get adjusted to RM3.00 due to patrol price increase, reason is, need to transport the noodle so the price of a bowl of noodle will need to be increased. Isn't that amazing?

And how come our employer never adjust our salary a bit when the price of noodle increase, when the price of patrol increase?

女人何苦为难女人? Why??

大家都是女人,唯一不一样的是,我结了婚,你还没。我再次怀孕了,你从未。以你这样的态度,恐怕没什么男人可以接受你!!!! 是不是就是这一些不一样,所以你无法了解我? 我没希望你会了解我,因为我们俩是来自不同的世界。我的世界里有爱,你的世界没有爱。你的世界里只有你自己! 但是,请别以为别人是没感觉的!

从开始到现在,我不懂自己,因为你的每句话哭了多少遍,我每次都告诉自己要坚强,但是我却做不到!原来我并不是想象中那么坚强! 但是唯一的是,我从未在你面前掉过一颗泪,所以可以说我还有一点点的坚强! 我不要让你看到我脆弱的一面!

身边的朋友一直叫我别在意你所说的每句话,我有尝试过,但我没法做到。
希望明天会更好!

********************
We both are lady, the only different between u and me is, i am married and you ARE NOT. I am Pregnant again and YOU NEVER. With your such attitude, afraid not many guy will dare to get close to you. Is it because of this, thus you are unable to understand me? I NEVER expect you to understand me, because we are from different world. In my world, there is LOVE, an in your world, there is NO LOVE. In your world, you are the ONLY PERSON. But, don't because of this, you thought everyone has no feeling.

From begin til now, i am not sure how many tears being dropped because of your WORD, because of how you treated me. Every time i keep telling myself MUST be tough, but i fail to do so. I am not that tough as per other thought. But...one thing i am proud of myself is, i NEVER drop one drop of tear in front of you, because i don't want to show you my weakness!

Friends keep telling me DON'T BOTHER so much on what you said to me, i tried, but i can't!
Am looking forward to a better TOMORROW!

Yum yum Mangosteen!

Told mom that i think of eating mangosteen, and she asked me to wait for dad's friend to get us from his orchard. After looooong wait....and i nearly forget about it, finally, yesterday when i got home, mom told me there is pack of mangosteen waiting for me in the kitchen! Luckily this time, the crave for mangosteen is not as strong as crave for ampula! hahaha!

So after dinner, i wallop around 10 mangosteen. I keep telling myself to stop eating, else i guess i may end up eaten more than 10. Yum yum, so juicy.

And i guess could be due to the mangosteen, i feel that my stomach has lots of wind at night. Well, again, not sure it's stomach wind or baby's movement. Yes, i am a super blur preggie. Another privilege of preggie what!! HAHAHAHA!

And now guess what...i suddenly think of BAK CHANG! (White glutinous rice dumpling)

What to say...

I know..this bother me for quite sometime...so today, i decided to write it out.

Sometimes i really need someone to explain it to me..how come SOME people they treat me son so BAD! And these people has blood relation with my son! From the day he is born til now, my son only receive something call NOTHING from them! Something that is so special call NOTHING, even you have money also don't know where to buy! When i pregnant with first kid, they also NEVER talk to me, ask me anything about my pregnancy, even after i deliver, also didn't talk to me; and for this second pregnancy, i don't even hope for anything. And also they DO NOT give my son any full moon ang pow or gift....and don't even mention about spending on me!

And..

Some people who doesn't have any blood relation with my son, they treat my son as if he is their FAMILY MEMBERS!
When my son sick, they visited him;
when my son injured his leg for unknown reason, they look for solution for him and even offer to drive us all the way to downtown for the treatment;
they take care my son as if he is their own kid/grand kid;
they buy some simple toys for my son;
they made some home made thing for my son;
they spend time with him teaches him lots of things!!!!!

And hello, those who has blood relation with my son, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO my little one?!!!! Only keep saying want to see him and keep asking him to call you guys AGAIN AND AGAIN over the phone! You feel this is fun? My son is not a toy ok!!

Me me and the moody me!

For don't know what reason, this round's pregnancy seems a lot of different comparing to my first pregnancy.

First, i crave for food, having weird crave list.
Second, i am very moody. always have a thought want to cry out loud. **Maybe there is something deep in my heart which i want to express out?**

I feel like go look for a super sad movie, watch it and cry over with the actors and actresses!

I know you may think i am crazy, but this is me me me and the moody me. I also don't know why.

Help help!! Preggie craving for ampula

Help help!!! A desperate preggie screaming for help!!!

For no reason, i suddenly think of eating ampula. Yes, the one that some people will make it into juice and sour plum. But i want is the fruit!!!!

Pop by few fruit stall look for it, all said "tak ada!" And last Sunday i even went to Batu Lanchang market to look for it. I hate going to market, cannot stand the smell and now even though i am just 15 weeks pregnant, but hubby super afraid me going to crowded place, so when we walked into the market, and my dear hubby so "caring" instead of walking into the market from veggie section, he walked in from the fish section. I have to hold my breathe and walk fast, afraid i may throw out, hahahaha!

Walked along the fruit stalls area, didn't see any ampula, and when we were at the last stall, i asked the owner of the stall where can i get ampula. He is so kind and directed me to the store that sells all those "ulam". Happily i walked to those ulam stalls, disappointed, no ampula. So went home with disappointment feel.

Asked mom and aunt, both said ampula is seasonal fruit. We used to have one ampula plant at home, but that plant doesn't performing. So after some time, we decided to give up on it!!

So.....anyone, if you know where to get ampula, pls let me knowwwwwww..........

Shopping in 45 mins

Today is Jusco member's day!

During lunch time, hubb and i decided to do ao quick shopping for our own stuffs. So we had a quick lunch at Arena food court, then proceed to Jusco for our quich shopping. Hubb went to hunt for his pants meanwhile i look for my maternity clothing.

I straight go to Miki Mom counter to look for maternity wear. The big 70% and 50% sign board attract my immediate attention. There is quite lots of choices under the 70% and 50% sales. I grabbed few and quickly line up outside the fitting room.

At last, i bought 3 tops, 1 skirt and 1 dress! HAPPY HAPPY and HAPPY!

Since it's pretty crowded, thus, hubb decided to drop by Jusco right after work. This little sweetie of us won't let us carry him, he will insist to get down and walk by himself.Don't think we will bring Kelvin to Jusco tonite as it's too crowded, not good for him and also very hard to handle him when there is so many people walking here and there. So, another shopping for me in few hrs time! yippie!

Tomorrow is public holiday!! YEAH!

Shy Shy baby

Still unable to tell the gender of the baby. Baby is shy??? When Dr Ng perform the ultrasound, baby is busy moving around. Anyway, as long as baby is healthy and growing, i am HAPPY HAPPY and HAPPY!

Be it girl or boy, we will stop at 2 kids. Can't afford to have more than 2 kids, the living expenses is so high yet the salary is so low, how to support the expenses of so many kids, DUH!! And also the whole pregnancy journey is full with fun, excitement, surprise and worry....so with 2 pregnancy experiences, it's enough for me! First baby delivery method is c-section, second baby's delivery method, too early to tell, if can, will try for natural, so that i can feel the Oomph-ness of push push push and SHOOOOUTINGGGG.........**giggling**

Seeing Doc...after severe vomitting

Usually after 1st trimester, preggie will feel better and have less nausea, but i am having sever vomit at 14 weeks, which is a bit worry. That's why i am seeing Dr Ng today to make sure baby is doing good after the severe vomitting.

Dr Ng said since there isn't anymore vomitting, thus, no need to take anti-vomit medicine.
Doc perform ultrasound and baby is moving actively. Doc said high chances is baby girl. Well, whether baby girl or boy, doesn't matter much. What i want is a healthy baby! Agree???!! And we will close down our production line after this baby. Cannot afford to have 3 kids, nowadays the living standard is so high, and the salary is so low, agree with me again? HAHA!
As usual, we will request to listen to baby's heart beat. The heart beat is fast and according to Dr Ng this is good, baby's heart beat supposet o be fast and towards the delivery date, the heart beat will slower a bit....and heart beat will be around 80 to 90 when baby turn to be adult, long way to go huh!

Dr Ng has some concern on my weight as my weight doesn't seems improving since last visit. But...i am eating like there is no tomorrow, so where does all the food go to??? hmm....
Checked with Dr Ng about storing cord blood. According to him, it's something like buying insurance, buying a secure. And as of now, cord blood has been proven can cure blood disorder, the rest of the disease still under experiment. Also, Dr Ng asked me to take plenty of fluids, be it water, juice or anything so that i won't get dehydrated. And he did mention about "COCONUT WATER", yes, do you read it correctly, COCONUT WATER, my favourite drink. I took lots of coconut water when i preggie Kelvin. So....hubb's mission for this week will be getting me a fresh coconut water from Abu Siti Lane. YEAH!

Since now is only 14 weeks and 6 days, so can't do the triple test yet. Will pop by the clinic next Sunday for the test. Left the clinic happily after the short chat with Dr Ng.

Bad day...

Yesterday was a bad day for me. Morning, had my breakfast, and not long after that, feels stomach upset, had diarrhea. After that, I throw out all breakfast. Then later, went to see boss and washed from head to tail from her for close to 1hr. DUH!

Went for lunch, ate a few only, no appetite. After lunch took some guava, and not long after that, gut feel asked me to talk to toilet. And as soon as I went into the toilet, started to throw out in the toilet bowl. Throw out all lunch. Thought everything is over. Went back to my desk continue to do my work. Feel hungry, then took a small bite of biscuit, about half an hr later, need to visit toilet bowl again, throw out again! Not much food left, throw out water!!

Hubb picked me up around 5:15pm, when reached home, smelled the cooking from neighbor, again, and rushed to toilet and throw out Throw out water!! DUH!!

After that, no appetite for dinner, so skipped dinner and took only one slice of dragon fruit and one banana. Before bed, took a small cup of fresh milk. Luckily no more throw out.

So touched!

Yesterday night when i try to tug Kelvin to bed, he refused to sleep and i asked him,
"Vin, why you don't want to sleep? You want to kiss baby then only sleep?"
To my surprise, Kelvin quickly move himself up from the bed and lean towards my tummy , kiss and pat on my tummy. Then he pointed at my tummy said "baby!" I suddenly feel so touched and want to hug him tight tight!

I've been telling him there is a baby in my tummy, and everytime when i asked him where is the baby, he will point to my tummy and say "baby!" His act make me feel that he is growing up, and he is a big boy now. And hubb told him that he is not a big keke, and he will repeat after hubb, saying "keke!"

Before i told him about the baby in my tummy, everytime when i asked him whether he wants di di or mei mei, he will shake his head, but now, whenever i asked him whether he want di di or mei mei, he will say "mei mei". Anyhow, i don't think he knows what is di di as he is the ONLY boy in the baby class, the rest are mei mei! :)

A scary experience

Yesterday, when i went to toilet in the afternoon, i saw some brownish discharge. Scare me like mad. Fast fast check with 2 friends and hubb to get some advise.

Sasha and Yan's advise is to monitor and see, meawhile hubb's reaction is fast fast call gynea !
Sasha, thanks for the sms. My cellphone out of battery and i am busy catching up my sleep, that's why i didn't reply your sms. Paiseh ya!

I guess could be i sneeze earlier, and it's an unexpected sneeze, so i didn't control myself, and after that i feel my tummy quite tense. And the brownish discharge appear few hours after the sneeze.

Called up my previous gynea and current gynea, both said brownish discharge is ok, as long as it's not spotting or red color. Since both also sing the same song saying brownish discharge is ok, so i just keep telling myself "no worry, Joanne, it's ok!" And both also ask me to monitor and if there is sharp pain then need to them immediately.

You may wonder how come i have 2 gyneas. ok, let me tell you, my previous gynea left the hospital, hospital A, when i gave birth to Kelvin, he joined other hospital, hospital L, and for the first few visits , i went to the new hospital, but somehow i don't quite like the environment in hospital L, prefer the environment in the hospital A. So after discussion with hubb, we decided to switch back to the hospital A. That's why i have 2 gyneas. And the gynea in hospital L doesn't know that i am going back to hospital A to see his colleague.

I monitored and no more brownish discharge so far. Will keep monitor for 1 or 2 days. keep my fingers crossed

My resignation story

On 28th Jan 2008, I finally tender my resignation with mixed feeling. I feel happy that finally I am out from this group and I feel sad as I am leaving my fellow good colleagues and friends! Between money and friends, sorry, I have to forgo friends as I work for money, I need the money!

If I don’t work for money, the day when I know my review result, I will already tender my resignation. Work place is no longer as fun as before, it’s getting more and more policical which I don’t see it earlier.

When I tender my resingation,
1. My manager told me she can sense it and she expcet resignation from me, just matter of time
2. I told her I will offset my leaves and work until the Friday on the same week, she even told me I can stop working on the Wednesday in the same week. See, she can’t wait to kick me out! She indirectly force me to on leave early.
3. She said she know that I am top performer when I was in business operations group, however, unfortunately I am not top performer when I’m in solution group, she said it’s a JOB MISMATCH! Hello, I love this job very very much before I start report to her, after report to her, my life so misetrable!

She said she will inform her boss IMMEDIATELY about my resignation,both of them must be happy and celebrate my resignation with champaigne.

On 29th Jan 2008, she called me me up and hurry me to send the hard copy of resignation to HR. Wah lau, can’t wait to kick me out. Afraid I may chicken out and don’t want to resign…NO WAY! And after that, she still doesn’t want to give me peaceful time, she called me up in the afternoon, pastering me with my remaining leaves. She said I have too much leaves and eventhough I offset all leaves, I still have extra leaves and this will make Finance has hard time to calculate my pay for me. Hello, u thought Finance people so useless huh! C’on, they just pay based on formula, won’t make any mistake! I control my temper, else I will shout over the phone. But this fella keep pastering me, until I cann’t stand and I told her I don’t want to discuss this with her again, asked her to check with HR! Then I hang up the phone!C'on, i am leaving and why can't she just leave me alone. I wont blame her for not talking to me....i will feel happier in fact.

I had my exit interview with HR on 1st Feb and i told HR what she told me, she sense it, she bla bla bla...the HR personnel look at me, give me blank look. I also even add in salt and pepper by saying this is very unprofessional, right? And she agree with me! And i told her what my manager's explanation for the job reclassification and also review ranking, HR told me whatever reasons that my manager gave me WAS WRONG!!! So what say you....work for such a always cannot convince you then choose to confuse you manager, will you have a peaveful day, will you have a bright future?

And on 1st Feb, we had farewell lunch. I don't want to attend it, but because the manager asked one of my close lunch buddy to arrange it, so don't want him to be in difficult position, so we went for it WITH HER! We met one of the old colleague and when the old colleague dropped by to say hi, the manager even said "hope that the next job that i have will be better!" Apa lar her, no one ask her to give any comment, why can't she just keep quiet and eat her food...and THANKS to that great friend, he replied to her saying " DEFINATELY she will". Hahahahaha....with such a simple comment, this make HER to shut her mouth. Whoever eat chillipadi, whoever feel the heat lah!

whether i make the correct move to leave Agilent or not, i am not sure...but one thing for sure is, i make the CORRECT move by leaving her GROUP, by LEAVING her GREAT supervision!!!

What makes me change job

Never thought that i will tender my resignation. After working in Agilent for 6 yrs and 3 months, on one fine day, 28th Jan 2008, i walked to my manager with an envelope in my hand, hand it over to her, YES, i tender my resignation.

Without any pre-alert, i being asked to move to another field which is consider quite new for me. Can i say NO? Nope, it's top down decision, whether i want it or not, i need to follow the instruction. So, effective 1st Sep 2007, i moved to procurement team, still as Solution Engineer, instead of supporting planning, i am being assigned to support procurement. At the same time, there is one mentor being assigned to me. During the time, i started to hate my job, but i need the money, so i just keep quiet, do whatever the manager or the mentor ask me to do, be it from "study how to link oracle table" til become other people's assistant to schedule meeting or to take note testing results!

Well, everything has a limit. The thing that triggers me to look for other job is the yearly review result. I had the worst comment and review, never had such a big joke throughout my entire career life. It's zero increment and with the lowest rank! I do try to tell myself, "it's just a review, and i will do it better this year", but, at the end, i lost to myself. I cannot overcome myself, so in order to make myself not so miserable, i start to look for a job.

Out of sudden, a head hunter called me up and tells me about this job. Without any hesitation, i told the head hunter go ahead to submit my application to the hiring company. And GOD hear me, within few days, i actually received 5 interview requests from various companies. I put high hope on this company's interview, and the rest of the companies' interviews, i just attend it for fun, after all, it has been 6 yrs i never attend any interview mah!

The job offer came in in just 2 days time. Even though i have some hard time during the interview, but at the end, i got the job! BINGO, thank you GOD, you hear me!!!

When i send out goodbye mail, i received lots of response from colleagues, all of them said it's a surprise to them. Well, it's a surprise to me too! I NEVER expect i will resign from Agilent, but......i have no choice!

A confusing tag for all prettie mummies

Get tagged by Sasha for this prettie mummies tag.

The rule to the e-mail was that, once you have been hit, you have to hit 5 pretty Moms, including the one who thought of you today & sent it to you. The idea is that if you get hit again, You will know you are really pretty!

So I thought lets just turn this into a tag instead. But that "hit" part won't work very well in a tag. So instead of giving a "hit" to the one who tag you, you add your name at the bottom of the tagged persons list, and without bumping the person at the top or bumping anyone off and let the list grow.

Prettiest Mom

Hit 5 pretty moms on your list to let them know they are pretty!

Before I was a Mom

I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom

I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom

I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom

I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom -

I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom -

I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

Now tag 5 persons who you think is a special Mom.

Here's the first chain of tag :
1. Lovelymummy
