Home Sweet Home

I will keep my mouth shut from now onwards!

2010-09-22T21:56:00.003+08:00

Glad that i have this little corner of mine to let me vent out my frustration, upset-ness, angry-ness as well as share my happiness.

Today, i got no clue what trigger the fire between me and my boss. All started with, i drop him an email telling him i will be working from another office. All these while, he is ok if we were to work from another office. But today...i receive an sarcastic email from him saying that if i am having intention to move to new job, then we do not need to talk about this. HUH? What? Talk what??

So i get piss off and replied his email saying that as of now, i have NO intention to move on to any new job, BUT, if he wants me to move out from his team, then i am OK! And instead of confronting me, he spoke to another manager of him and that manager become our messenger and break the ice and put off the fire between me and my boss. So i called my boss per his request, and he apologies to me saying he gets frustrated over on other issue, and not on me, and he doesn't mean to send out that email....Well, what can i do. I just say "ok". For those who know mandarin, 覆水难收 (spilled water can't be collected back), and whatever that said out which hurt people, no matter how many sorryssssssssss you said, it's still there. I told myself no point cried over spilled milk. ok...life move on...

In the afternoon, got an email from boss asking all of us to do some update. And the busy body me told him that actually we have one file in our shared folder. And for don't know what reason, he want to grumble on me to another person, he typed the message in my IM screen. The message doesn't seems to me, it sounds like he is typing to someone and saying that i always give negative feedback when he ask us to do something. Oh well well..lesson learn in hard way, NEVER and EVER be BUSY BODY. But, to be professional, i act as if i don't see the message and act dumb and offer help to consolidate the data for him.

And at this moment, when i get time to sit down and think over what happened on me today, i feel it's time for me to move on. Since he sees the messages from me at negative way, no point for me to keep working with him, the trust is not there anymore. I recalled back...i offer my help to consolidate data for him few times, and this is what i get in return. This is what he think about me. Why can't he put thing at positive way. When i told him we have data in shared point, why can't he just ask me whether are those data up to date? Why he needs to think that i refuse to do for him? Sometimes when he ask us to do some update, i will ask for a standard format, so that all of us in sync, so probably i am too busy body and he thought i reluctant to do and ask for excuses. I can't understand him. Maybe this is our communication gap or we are not meant to work together.

And from today onwards, i will keep QUIET and do whatever thing he wants WITHOUT asking for more info. I feel upset, down, frustrated, helpless, hopeless......but glad that i have 2 sweetheart at home to cheer me up. Both of them are in their lala-land. Gosh, today is mid-autumn festival and it's raining heavily out there, see, GOD also cry for me. Thank you GOD, at least u hear me!

A bad lunch at Waka City Bayview

2010-07-09T21:46:00.009+08:00

I attended training at town area and decided to go to Waka in City Bayview hotel for lunch. Previosuly, Waka is at Rasa Sayang hotel, however, the hotel was closed for upgrade, as such, Waka moved to City Bayview hotel. Ever since the moved, hubb told me the food quality is no longer there, but i would like to try it myself before i can conclude anything.

It has been a while i wanted to go to Waka for lunch, but somehow, never make it..until last month when i attended training at town area, we went there for lunch. First time step into the restaurant, was kinda vacant, never mind...so we sat down and order our food. Food quite nice, and when we made payment, the lady told us about their promotional set lunch instead of normal set lunch. What a dang..the waitress NEVER tell us about the promotion set lunch which as ramen as one of the choice. So we decided to give Waka another visit when we had our training this week.

Second visit, reached the restaurant around 12 noon, when the waitress served us, again, she didn't mention about the promotional set lunch until we asked. So we ordered 2 sets of tepanyaki beef and one spicy ramen. Waiting waiting waiting...has been more than 30 mins, then only i see the so called chef walk out from the kitchen, start to do our tepanyaki. I am not sure that guy is the chef or part time chef.....

So wait wait and wait..finally we see waitress walk out from kitchen with one claypot. And guess what, she served the other table which come later than us. One of my friend was pissed off and call the waitress, and the waitress pretend not hearing her and my friend need to raise her voice then only the waitress come to our table. My friend asked why the lady being served before us, and the waitress told us that they call in advance to do their booking. And the waitress didn't even apologies with my friend for not responding to her call. Well, yes..the other lady call to book in advance, but we waited for so long, so even though the 2 ramens being brought out from kitchen with less than 1 minute apart, to me, i feel they should serve us before the other lady. When we waited for our food, we hardly see ANY waitress in the restaurant, don't know where they hide themselves, and i even need to request for green tea refill. *thought this should be done automatically right?*

ok, here come our beef. First bite, COLD, second bite..it's as hard as WOOD. Eat the rice, it's as hard as uncooked rice. So continue to eat until i can't stand anymore, my gum was so pain, the beef is so hard. And for the first time, i decided not to finish my food. I am not very fussy when come to food, those who know me, can tell from my size, right? LOL! But this time, i really dissapointed with the beef, so i only forced myself to eat half of it.

We are late for the training, so quickly proceed to pay money, but again, waited and yelled, no one actually want to come to us. Fire on....at first i just want to let go...but while waiting, i think think and think..feel not willing to pay for the beef in full price. After about 3 minutes, i can see a human walking towards us and NO APOLOGIES for bad service. And the lady that attended to us is the lady that we want to complain!That lady is the one who ignore my friend. Duh!! And again, that lady seems has deaf ears and i was so mad and started to complain about the food.

M: Me; W: Waitress; F: Friend
F: Why when i called you just now and you ignore me, i called u so many times.
W: *the waitress again pretend not hearing my friend*
M: The beef is very hard, as hard as wood. This is the worst beef that i ever had, i call it WOOD instead of beef. And i don't think i should be charged the full price.
W: Oh...the beef still there?
M: i didn't finish mine, but she * i pointing to my other friend* finished hers.
W: Why didn't you guys inform us after we served the food?
M: huh? inform you and wait for another 30 mins ??
W: sorry, we have some problem with our kitchen crew.
M: well, don't tell me your problem. You should at least maintain the Waka Standard.
F: I see this Ms Phang from D*** ordering quite a number pax of food from Waka, do you want us to call this Ms Phang and tell her our bad experience?
W: What about if i give u 20% discount
M: Nope, i think i deserve more than 20%
W: So what do you think?
M: 50%
W: *paused for a while, must be cursing for my barbarian-ness* What about i don't charge your portion and i only charge your friends meal.
F: I only complain with the service , not on the food.
M: well, it's up to you. Net net, i feel disappointed with this so call Waka standard. Firstly, the beef is cold, secondly the beef is hard.

So at the end, we being charged 1 free tepanyaki beef, 80% for the other set beef tepanyaki and full price for the spicy ramen. I don't mean to ask for free meal but with that type of service attitude, i don't think it's worth of money. I don't think i will never go back to Waka for food again! Had super bad experience and the wooden beef make my gum so painful.

Maybank oh Maybank!

2010-07-03T16:00:00.003+08:00

I thought i am the only person who is so bad luck where my ATM card is faulty. But today when i went to Maybank in QBM, realized that i am not alone! Lots of Maybank ATM card holder face the same problem aka, the ATM card can't get processed by Maybank ATM machine!! However, i get a better treatment as compare to them.

I had problem with my ATM card for almost 3 mths, ** so long until i lost track**. First time, i wasn't able to withdraw money from Tesco ATM machine, so thought it's the problem with the machine. And before i make the conclusion, i slot my card into other bank's ATM machine to confirm my card isn't faulty, and yes...i am right, other ATM machine able to recognise my card and allow me to do the transaction. So wait wait wait...following week, try my luck at the same ATM machine in Tesco, also cannot. Then noticed that the person in front and behind me also unable to do any trasaction as well. So i make a conclusion ~ that ATM machine has problem and not yet fixed. Went to QBM's Maybank ATM machine, able to withdraw money. Then happy go shopping!

Next mth, again, die hard customer, went back to the same ATM machine in Tesco, SAME, cannot do any transaction. Went to QBM's Maybank ATM machine, also NOT able to withdraw money. A bit on fire. So went to QBM Maybank customer service to check, the lady very unfriendly and super unhelpful. She just use eraser to clean the chip on the ATM card and kept telling me there isn't anything wrong with my card. Hello, i also can tell that there isn't anything wrong with my card as my card is in super good shape and condition. And she told me, if i would like to have my card replace, i need to pay RM12..WHAT????? And if i go back to the bank where i have my open my account, i may get to waive for the charges. Since i open my account at the Bukit Jambul branch, so i went to the Maybak at i-Avenue. The front desk lady also tell me the same story, "nothing wrong with my card" and she asked me to try with their machine. To my surprise, i am able to withdraw money. So i checked with her, and according to her, nowadays Maybank is engaging third party to maintain all their ATM machines and not all ATM machines being well calibrated. Ok...fine..accept the explanation. And that lady doesn't want to replace my ATM card for me.

3rd mth, went to QBM Maybank ATM machine to withdraw money. WHAT??? Still unable! So fire burning and it's already after their wrking hour but since i see there's people in the bank, so i walked in and talked to one of a male officer. And ahem...with this, i apply some of my soft and barbarian skill, i told him my card doesn't allow my to withdraw money and tell him my story bla bla...this nice malay guy, he listened to me and help me to troubleshoot, and i pretend innocent and below is our conversation,
M: Me; O : Officer

M:My card can't be processed by the ATM machine.
O: Oh..what error message do you see?
M: It says something like "ask me to check with the bank"
O: oh....
M: Actually i have this problem for almost 3 mths...** then i bla bla bla with my story**
O: oh, ok ok, let me check your card for you *8so, tik tok tik tok, he punched in the card detail and do some checking for me" Hmm...there isn't any block at your card, everything seems fine.
M: but i can't withdraw money, if i want to replace my ATM card, do i need to pay?
O: yes, you need to pay RM12
M: huh? RM12...but u see, my card is in good shape and condition, nothing wrong...it's the Maybank ATM machine has problem**take opportunity to hentam **
O: But now everyone go home already, you come tomorrow and i replace for you
M: Then do i need to pay or not?
O: Nope, no need, i can do it for you FOC, but tomorrow i am not working
M: Eerrrm...then how?
O: Never mind, you wait for a while, i ask my colleague to settle it for you
M: ok ok, thanks, so FOC right?
O: Yes, will do it FOC for you.

yeah..happily walked to Sub Way and order "today's special" for myself and walked to Old Town Kopitiam to meet with hubb.

Voila...so simple, and i save RM12. Not that i don't have RM12, but i don't feel worth paying it. And today when i went there to get my card replace, i see at least 5 people coming in with sour face, saying their ATM card cannot get processed. And the customer service rep just tell them, "you need to replace your ATM card and pay RM12" and those people just agree to pay without any question. If you are Maybank ATM card holder and if your card not working (provided your card is in good shape) PLEASE DO NOT PAY for the card replacement charges. Stand on your own feet , be firm and insist them to replace it for you FOC! Apply some soft barbarian skill, ok! LOL!

And another lesson learn is, go to see a male officer rather than lady officer. They are more friendly, LOL!

My biggest fear for now...

2010-02-22T09:20:00.002+08:00

Guess what...i'm being attacked by chicken pox virus on last Wed, which is also 4th day of CNY, what a day! Well, this wasn't that bad yet...the fear that i am having is, after i got to know that i had chicken pox and at the same time found out that my small little one, 16 mths old daughter yet to get her chicken pox vaccination, what a big DANG for me. So quickly, on last Thursday i send her for chicken pox vaccination, i know it's too late, but what else can i do? That's the only thing that i can do for her, and hoping she will not get the virus from me.

I tried to avoid contact with the 2 kids so much, but, the more u avoid, the more they will come to you. For both kids though. I really feel bad that i need to turn them down when they want to hug me or sometimes they just want to touch me, but i afraid that may broke the blister, so i wont let them touch me either. At night, usually i will let Kaitlyn sleep on my hand, she likes to request me to put my hand on the bed and she sleeps on it. But for these few days, i can't do so, i need to cover myself with the blanket like rice dumpling, then she will sleep on the blanket on top of me. Thank GOD, she is such an understanding girl, she doesn't make lots of fuss when she can't sleep on the same bed with me..however, middle of the night, she will move herself and sleep next to me. **slapped forehead**

As for Kelvin, since he can understand me better than his sister, so i told him i am having "bacteria" on my whole body, so he can't come near me, LOL! And he does whine at night, want me to sleep with him, but after i remind him about the "bacteria" story, he will go to his lala-land happily by himself.

I hope none of the kids will get infected by this chicken pox virus!!!!

Soooo dissappointed with Jaya Jusco service

2009-11-14T14:24:00.002+08:00

There was a sales at Jaya Jusco on last Saturday, 7th Nov and since we need to stock up diaper for Kaitlyn, so we went to Jusco after breakfast. We reached Jusco around 1130am, and straight i proceed to look for Mamy Poko L size. Look high and low, left and right, up and down, can't find any jumbo pack L size Mamy Poko. Get fed up already as this is not FIRST TIME i encouter such problem with Jaya Jusco. I will say 7 out of 10 times when they advertise there is sales of Mamy Poko, i will have hard time getting the size that i want.

It's only around 1130am, and the queue is already very long. So, i asked hubb to queue at the check out counter as the queue is very very long, and i went to Information counter to check with them what type of promotion they are having when i don't see any jumbo Mamy Poko being displayed on the shelf. The reception at information counter told me " I don't know, this is not my counter, you need to ask Mamy Poko promoter" I get even more angry and i told him i don't care whether he know what is happening or not, i want to talk with the manager on duty, then only he told me he will get the Mamy Poko promoter to come to information counter to talk to me. Waited for a while, no one come and i told him i am not going to stand there and wait, i don't have much time to fool around with them. And he even asked me to sit and wait...DUH!

After a while, here come the Mamy Poko promoter, she walk with window shopping style , look here and there, and come to approach me. When i told her i am looking for Mamy Poko L and XL size, she told me NO STOCK!!! WHAT??????? and she said only has size smaller than L and ask me whether i want it or not. (use brain ok...if my kids can wear M size, then what for i jump up and down to look for L size?) And i asked her whether will she restock the diapers later today? And she said " I tak tahu!" WHAT????????? Angry already la and i scolded her and tell her " if this is the case, you better don't advertise in newspaper saying u have sales of all range of Mamy Poko diapers", and i told her i really feel cheated by the advertisement , furthermore this is not the first time i can't find the diapers that i want on sales day. I really get very dissapointed with Jusco's service, and i really never expect such a customer experience from Jusco.

I remember once, Tesco having crazy sales on diapers and the size of diapers that i want is out of stock, the information counter lady is so nice that she take the trouble to check for me when the new stock will arrive.

So, i rather pay more and no more shopping at Jaya Jusco, unless i have no choice!

Let's have fun!

2009-10-28T11:33:00.002+08:00

Bye Bye bitter life

2009-10-16T15:35:00.003+08:00

It's my last day in J. I don't have mixed feeling, the only feeling that i have is HAPPY!!!! Happy!!! and Happy!!!

And i can't really wait to leave office by 12 noon. In case you wonder why 12 noon and not 5pm, let me tell you.

My dear boss want us to work on Sunday for half day, and to compensate the half day of Sunday, we get second half off on Friday. But u think can have epace mind on Friday second half when the rest of the world still working? Of course no way, still need to entertain phone call or email from work...duh! Tipu orang punya half day off!

ok, back to my story

Boss called me and asked me to return the laptop to her before i leave office and at the same time, she asked me to return the calculator!! WHAT?? Calculator???? She said calculator is one of the starter kit that company give to us!! WHAT??? I must be loosing my memory. I don't recall HR gave me any calculator as starter kit. And i told her, No calculator given to me when i join. Then u know what, she said some people they just go buy a RM10 calculator and give back to the company. WTF!! Company NEVER give me one, and now want me to buy one give back?? I already pay the company RM10k+ for short notice penalty, and now still want to get RM10 from me...duh!!! And since my senior, she left her calculator to me when she leave the company, so together with the laptop i gave back to OV.

When she sees the calculator, she's so happy..she happily said to me
"just now you said no calculator, and how come now got calculator"

I told her,
" This calculator is given by Cindy to me when she left the company"

She happily said,
"See, i told you, the company gave u guys calculator in the starter kit"

I was like, WHAT??? my english is too bad or what...i said "Cindy" gave to me..not Company!!! Duh. You know what, this OV, she doesn't allow us to purchase stationary from company. She said "go grab from hotel when u stay in hotel, no need to buy one!" WAH LAU EH! And each of our desk, there's one white board beside us, for the whiteboard marker also SENDIRI BELI! So when i leave, of course i bring along my whiteboard markers la, throw away also happier than give to her! All my pens, papers, bla bla, i bring home too! Leaving behind nothing to her!

Anyhow, glad that i am leaving!!! And going to start my new journey in life!

.
.
.
.
I am requesting to leave my existing company with short notice. With this, i need to pay the short notice penalty. I will need to pay for around 1.5 mths salary. Still pending for our C&B officer to let me know the amount.

During this time period, "she" still bug me a lot! And last Wednesday, customer escalated as my replacement didn't respond to their email. "She" called me up and scolded me WHY i didn't ask my replacement to reply customer's email. I was like , "WHAT???" Why do i need to remind my replacement to reply email? I thought he suppose to know what he's suppose to do! I was so mad and i slam the phone! So piss off...

Never mind, another week to go!

Flash back on the "day"

2009-09-12T16:24:00.004+08:00

Monday (7th Sep 2009), "she" asked me to see her. Guess what is the topic for the discussion?

S: "she" ; M : Me

S: your replacement will be here today, so what you want to do. You have 2 choices,
a) You tender resignation
b) I fire you

M: **keep quiet, I wanted to tell her i will tender, but i still want to see what else she will do to me and what else she wants to say to me. so as per what i expect, she continue with her "valuable" talk**

S: You not worth the money the company paying you. You not qualify to hold the current position that you are holding.

M: **deep in my heart, i am laughing** why? Because she is the one who interviewed me, she is the one who hire me!! So if she thinks i am not worth the money and not qualify to hold my current position, so means that she judge me wrongly when she interviewed me! LOL! Oh..what a big mistake she had done in her life!

S: During that time, because we desperate need someone to backfill the person who's leaving, that's why we are willing to pay you that much.

M: **still keep quiet** who cares u r desperate looking for people or whatsoever. bottom line is, the company willing to pay me the salary that i asked for...so if you think i am overpaid, then u should have hilight this to the HR when you want to hire me

S: you don't have such a big head, you should wear such a big hat. You are not worth the money that the company pay you.

M: **Duh** 佛都有火. (Buddha also got fire) But i still remain cool and keep showing her my silly face. Since i already decided to tender, what for i go justify and clarify and explain to her so much.

she continue fi li fa la talk non stop and i listen half don't listen half until don't sure for how long, finally she ler me go. she asked me to tell her my final decision by end of the day.

Oh yeah, before i left, she said:-
S: I want you to train up the replacement and then come to me and tell me whether he can handle the job or not.

M: **who cares! Again, u r the one who hire him, and you go and access him! I am leaving anyway, i don't even bother whether he will be able to handle the job or not, coz this is none of my business**

For the whole session, i just "ummm", "ok". and nothing much. What else u want me to say. Beg her? Cry in front of her? Or what knee down and apologies?" If i do so, i must be losing my mind !

Later i went to my desk, check on the chat archive between me and my replacement, he rold me he will be here on Tuesday (8th Sep 2009). I don't even bother to let her know that she's wrong, coz she may scold me back saying i gave her wrong info bla bla. She always has her own reason to scold me, as to her, i am stupid, i am dumb. And she is the greatest of all! So who cares!

What have i done on this auspicious day 09/09/09

2009-09-09T20:35:00.003+08:00

With this, i hope good luck will come to me and follow me as long as i wish!

How much does happiness cost?

2009-07-12T23:46:00.003+08:00

Can someone tell me how much do i need to pay for a day of happy at work?
I am more than willing and happy to pay for it.

Can someone tell me how to avoid get blame for things that not under my job scope?
I am more than happy to pay you if you can give me to tips or hints.

Can someone tell me how to how to get out from this messy place?
I am more than happy to pay you if you can get me out from this place.

I know, money is not everything, but without money, everything also cannot do.
That's why i am still stuck here even though i am not happy! even though my life is so miserable! even though everyday i go to work with happy face, and the moment i step into my work place, my back started to get shoot now and then!

If everyone don't have to work, how nice!
If money can buy happiness, how nice!
If i have money and power to shut these people away, HOW NICE!

my 2 kids

2009-04-03T16:25:00.005+08:00

For don't know what reason, my 2 kids seems have very good relation with Ms Goh and uncle James. When Kaitlyn sees uncle James, she will be very excited and she will show the "come, carry me" sign.

But again, with those people who has blood relation, they don't seems bother to know their grandkids progress. Well, maybe they do get update from their son. And one thing that i am SURE is, they NEVR spend any single cent on my 2 kids!ARGH!!!

Even when strangers see my kids, some will play with them. And again, why the paternal grandparents has no feel on them. Maybe like friend said, it's better for them don't come over as me and them do not have any chemistry in between.

I need your input

2009-04-03T16:15:00.003+08:00

Chat with a friend on my thought of resign and stay at home.
He said, as long as hubby can support the household expenses, then can consider. But, actually my case is more complicated, as the problem is myslef.

First, i cannot let go my salary;
Second, i cannot let go my income;
Third, i cannot let go my wages;
so overall conclusion is, i cannot let go my pay!

So how?

And he said it took him 2 yrs to think over his wife's proposal to be full time house wife. So does it means i need to nag hubb for another few ore yrs before he agree to let me become full time housewife? No no, i don't want to be full time housewife, i want to be full time MUMMY. Because my full time housewife = maid; as full time housewife need to wash clothes, sweep floor, mop floor, cook, iron clothes...eww ; whereas full time mummy is just send, pick up kids from school, play with them, supervise them on their homework. Am i right? LOL!

So continue to work or continue to appeal for full time mummy application??

Welcome to 'si lai' club!

Is this what i want?

2009-03-26T23:15:00.002+08:00

Recently, i being assigned something new in my job. And things started to change, my nightmare come...

First of all, i being escalated by the customer for no reason...darn
Second, again i bring escalated by the customer for no reason...double darn...
Third, Fourth will be same too....

I really have no idea why that lady keep biting at me. Friend said, maybe she afraid of me will go complain on her, so she complain and back stab me first. Well, frankly, ever since i start to take up this new assignment, i feel very upset, unhappy, and every night i have to work til late night, midnight, and i am working now. While waiting for data loading, i sneak and update my blog. Feel so guilty as i didn't update my kids blog promptly. I will try my best to update theirs.

Usually i will be in the room with the 2 kids, tugging both of them at the same time. One hand hugging Kaitlyn and the other hand pat Kelvin. But for these few night, i need to shut my ears as Kelvin will cry so badly when he doesn't see me in the room when he wants to sleep.While i am typing this, i heard Kelvin crying in the room. But, i can't walk into the room, coz when he sees me, he will cry even louder. so i will leave to hubb to handle him.

As for Kaitlyn, mom needs to help me tug her to sleep. Every night, mom will let her sleep in cradle in her house, then send her home and make sure she's still sleeping when she reached our house so that i can continue to do my work without interruption. And u know what, i used to nurse her before she sleeps, and for these few days, because i am so tight up with my FOREVER unfinished job, so i didn't nurse her, mom bottle feed her and tug her to bed. And i noticed that, for those night that i didn't nurse her before she sleeps, when she wakes up at middle of the night, she will look around as if she is looking for something and when i go near her, she will throw me a SWEET smile middle of the night and continue to sleep. My heart sank when i see her doing so. I feel so guilty.

I am not sure what i should do next!
I am so upset at work, and i am having 2 upset kids at home. All because of me. Sometimes i am so frustrated coz i need to stay late and get my job done and i am so tired, so i will be a bit frustrated when Kelvin wants to play with me. I will just shut him off. I am such a lousy and bad mom! As for hubb, i hardly talk to him nowadays, coz i feel exhausted and tired, and i don't know how and what to tell him. I don't want to bring the unhappiness from work back home, but my face and expression betray me! I am such a lousy wife at the same time too!

PLEASE tell me, what should i do. Seriously, if my company ever offer VSS again, i will TAKE IT without any DOUBT. I am willingly to forgo my pay and what i want is happy life. I am very tired and exhausted. GOD, HELP ME if you HEAR ME!

I am here!!

2009-03-13T16:18:00.002+08:00

Hello all....i am still alive and kicking.

Back to work on January09 from my maternity leave and temporary doing some easy job, kicking and shaking my legs for the past 2 months plus and then now being assign on a new assignment, actually is doing back the previous role as global demand planner. The only different is taking care another business unit and this business unit is more towards buy and sell, so again different as the business uni that i handle before i go for maternity leave...hello...u still there with me or already confuse by me?

ok, in summary, i am now picking up something new and quite busy. Still adjusting myself to the working world as i have been in dreamland for quite some time. So pls bear with me, i will be ow in updating my baby blog and personal blog.

Me and my new look

2009-02-12T16:07:00.004+08:00

One fine day ~ 9 of Feb, i decided to go ahead for hair cut, so asked hubb to drop me at the hair saloon. He thought i am going for hair trim, so when he picked me up, he get shocked seeing me with short hair...yeah! I really go for a REAL hair CUT! Feel so fresh now. Economy is bad mah..so must save some hair shampoo!! yeah right!

So now, no worry that Kelvina nd Kaitlyn will pull my hairs! And no need to worry what hair pin to use to match with my clothes every morning!

My hair used to be that long......

and now, it's become like this!

It's hurt til bottom of my feet!

2008-10-29T22:56:00.004+08:00

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

2008-09-16T10:48:00.002+08:00

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

2008-09-09T09:42:00.002+08:00

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!

2008-08-02T22:06:00.000+08:00

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!!!

2008-07-08T15:59:00.003+08:00

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 !

2008-07-08T10:50:00.003+08:00

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

2008-06-23T15:46:00.002+08:00

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!

2008-06-19T11:11:00.003+08:00

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!!

2008-06-13T11:09:00.002+08:00

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??

2008-06-06T11:22:00.007+08:00

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!

If....Then...How??

2008-06-05T13:31:00.004+08:00

If....
i don't work
Then...
i wont get tortured by HER!
How...
to get myself escape from HER?

If...
I don't work
Then ...
I have no income...
How...
to buy more things for my 2 kids?

If...
I don't work
Then...
I can sleep more, eat more and enjoy myself
How...
To enjoy if i don't have my own income?? Hmm..

I always envy friends who don't have to work, but my friends always told me that they envy me coz i have my own income! Sigh..it's like u see me good i see u good. Whatever bitter thing, only we ourselves know. I told friend how tired i am at work place and she tells me how tired she is being a housewife. I guess only those real tai tai will enjoy being housewife!

So i am waiting for the day when i can be tai tai...yeah yeah, wait long long ya!
I always dream of stop working for few months after i deliver my second baby, but yiaks, yesterday there is an announcement on patrol's price. And somemore there is rumors saying electricity bill will goes up, this will goes up that will goes up...but then i never hear people said our salary will goes up x% FOR SURE! So...u say, how to aim for early retirement and be tai tai. Unless tonight, i strike lottery, a significant amount of lottery!!!

Ok, back to reality now...continue to work! Work work work like bull just to earn the peanut income !!

Yum yum Mangosteen!

2008-05-21T13:31:00.002+08:00

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...

2008-05-16T15:07:00.002+08:00

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!

2008-05-16T15:04:00.002+08:00

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.

yummie yummie fruit from friend....

2008-05-10T13:30:00.002+08:00

An old friend of mine, (yes, old friend.....coz we know each other for almost 7 ~ 8 yrs, consider old or not, hahaha! but both of us very young, ok) dropped me a surprise phone call in the morning telling me she managed to get me 1kilo of amupla from Jelutong market.

And as soon as we reached home, i quickly checked with mom where is the ampula, and when i see those ampula, i get shocked!! Man....she gets me big ampula!!! Mom asked whether want to turn those ampula into juice or not, and i told her, NOPE!!! I wanna bite it, one bite one bite one bite...yum yum! And to my surprise, my little sweetie ask for a bite when he sees me eating the ampula. I guess must be the way i eat it attracted his attention. And to our surprise, he loves it too, and keep asking for more!

Again Angeline, thanks for the wonderful fruit, it makes me feel so happy after eating it!!!

Will let you know what is in my next crave list ya!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

This round...my prgnancy crave list

2008-05-09T11:05:00.003+08:00

Yesterday, i had lunch with Aurelia's dad, KT. He doesn't know i am pregnant, i manage to hide my tummy from his sharp eyes during the past 2 lunch date with him. Until yesterday he said how come recently i keep posting all sorts of challenging question to him, ask him where can i get this and that...and i told him i crave for this and that, and he said high chance that i pregnant.

So....... at the end, i told him the truth!! And guess what, he make me crave for pan mee!! So at the end we, yes, only me and him, ok, went out for pan mee lunch date. We don't mean to go out dating secretly, ok, hey...i am telling u guys that we are dating...so we don't do anything under table, we date under hot sun...but yesterday the weather so cooling, so we dated under he roof!

During lunch, he asked me whether i ever think or crave for satay! Hmm.....i told him,as of this moment, not yet. HAHAHAHAHAAHA...and here is the list of craving that i have...

jeruk mango
markisa juice
acar
laksa + fried rice
ham chim peng

and..latest is desperate for AMPULA!!!!

Come to think of it, when i preggie with Kelvin, i don't crave for food, i do prefer chicken over fish but not crave for chicken. But this time...all funny crave will come into my mind out of sudden!

So fun!! coz i get to give all my friends all sort of challenging question, "when can i get this ?"
HAHAHA!

yeah yeah!! ampula, yum yum

2008-05-08T11:00:00.000+08:00

craved for ampula for few days, and on Wednesday nite, during dinner time, i told Kelvin that mummy want to eat ampula, and to my surprise, my mom told me that she and dad found it from the fruit stall outside Mandarin cafe. FUYOH!!!

Dad took it out from the fridge while mom helped me to remove the skin of the ampula...see, this is one of the privileage preggie will get from parents! YEAH!!! And immediate after my dinner, i wallop all the ampula, it's about 6 ampula. yum yum, happy happy and happy!

However, after finishing all the ampulas...i told hubb, i seems like eaten too much food and my tummy very FULL!!!! And feeling cannot move and want to sleep!! Another privilage for preggie, eat, sleep, eat and sleep!

So for that night, i went to sleep with happy face, coz i ate ampula already!! However, i still crave for ampula!! If u know where i can get it, do let me know ya!!!

Help help!! Preggie craving for ampula

2008-05-06T13:04:00.002+08:00

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

2008-04-30T13:42:00.002+08:00

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!

2008-04-30T10:17:00.004+08:00

I am in holiday mood now, so lazy to work. How i wish today i just need to work half day, then can go home to sleep. I NEED lots of sleep!

Yesterday midnight wake up around 2am, having mild gastric, so lazy to wake up, try to sleep, but cannot. So end up, wake up and take a cup of warm fresh milk, then only manage to continue to sleep.

This morning, so lazy to wake up after my dear alarm clock wake me up! Laze around for a while then only drag myself out from the bed. At work now, feel wanna vomit, probably i am allergy to work!!! YEAH!!! Any cure for this allergy?

Tomorrow is public holiday, and hubb plan to bring our little sweetie pie to Youth Park. However, i wish that our little one can sleep a little bit more, wake up around 8 something instead of 7 something as i NEED more sleep, HAHA! If you happen to drop by Youth Park tomorrow, u will see a sleepy dinosaur keep yawning and one adult busy chasing after a toddler! And do pop by and say Hi to me in chase i am busying yawning and didn't notice your appearance.

Shy Shy baby

2008-04-29T16:32:00.001+08:00

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

2008-04-29T14:35:00.005+08:00

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...

2008-04-29T13:40:00.001+08:00

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!

2008-04-18T09:02:00.005+08:00

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

2008-04-18T08:40:00.002+08:00

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

Acar Acar...yum yum

2008-04-15T11:09:00.002+08:00

Saw this acar pic from Sasha's blog and make me suddenly CRAVE for it. Keep thinking of acar the whole day.

When i get back to my parents house for dinner, saw a bowl of acar on the dining table!! WOW, ACAR!!! YUM YUM!!! Luckily aunt bought acar for dinner, help to kill my crave for Acar...else i will be thinking of acar throughout the night!!

So, Sasha, what's next?!! HAHAHAHA!

My resignation story

2008-02-04T14:34:00.003+08:00

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

2008-02-03T14:08:00.000+08:00

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

2008-01-22T15:36:00.000+08:00

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.

No mood

2007-12-07T20:35:00.000+08:00

I'm in bad shape these few days...

Received my performance feedback review and it was sucks!!! But in fact, it's what i predicted but i don't wish it comes truth. But anyhow, i did! DARN!!

I started to hate my current job. It's very hard to work when you hate whatever you are doing now. But, i have a son waiting for me at home and recently we decided to buy a house and the deal actually came truth. So i cannot walk out from my job. Frankly, if i don't have any commitment, i will walk out from where i'm working.

No matter what, life still move on, cannot let the small hiccup ruin my life, i have a cute little pie waiting for me at home.

Yippie, finally...we bought landed property

2007-12-04T20:41:00.000+08:00

After few months of house hunting activity, finally....we found it...we found it

Actually, this house never come into our consideration, and it's totally out of our initial budget. And how come i'm so happy and excited with it? The story is...

One fine day, me who has itchy hand, flip through the advertisement in the local Chinese newspaper and saw the advertisement on a 2 1/2 storey house for sale. So, i just call up for fun, ask for the price and schedule for house viewing.

So, on that day, me and hubby went to see the house. First glance, we like it. The owner renovated and maintain the house nicely. The down side is the price that the owner ask for is very high, then we negotiate, negotiate and negotiate...and even send my accountant mom to talk to the owners who both husband and wife are tuition center owner. When need to deal with teacher, most people will a bit afraid as usually they are really good in doing mathematics, and this is what we faced. That's why i asked my accountant mom to talk to the owner....and after few days' negotiation, finally, we came to a conclusion...YES, we got it!!!

In return, one of the request from the owner is, he will continue to rent the house with us until his new house is ready. He bought a new house at Bay Garden at Queensbay. So, we will let him stay in the house until his new house is ready, but of course, he will be tenant and we will be the owner and...we will collect rental from him!!! wwwuuuaaahhhh, he will help us to pay half of the housing loan for at least 6 months, better than nothing...:p

And...what will happen to our current apartment? Hubb and I love this apt sooo much, and we decided to keep this apt and probably rent it out. Anyone who come accross to know anybody want to rent an apt, can let me know ya :)

GOD hear me or co-incident?

2007-11-25T20:58:00.000+08:00

After i fully breastfeed my lil boy for 1 yr, hubb gives green light that i can slowly start to kick in formula milk.

Somehow rather, the process to introduce formula milk and stop expressing milk seems to be a smooth sailing process to me.

I had bad fever on the day after my lil boy's BIG ONE. I need to take fever and flu medicine. I hate to take medicines while breastfeeding. Furthermore, the medicine will make me drowsy and dry up a bit of my milk supply, so hubb and I decided to give formula milk a try as i afraid all my frozen milk will get consumed up. To our surprise, our lil boy take formula milk happily. And since i need more rest at night, so i stop direct feed my lil boy as well. He doesn't make any fuss when he can't latch on and sleep. He took the formula milk from bottle, then go to his lala-land happily. Maybe he can sense that mummy is sick, so he want to let mummy have good rest.

As for stop expressing, i don't like this very much. The incident that make me stop expressing is, my lil boy was infected by airborne virus, and he vomit, fever, diarrhea for almost a week. I'm busy taking care of him, worry about his condition, and thus, no mood to express milk. And since there isn't any pain at my breasts when i didn't express milk for 3 days, so i take it done deal, am not going to express anymore.

So today is 8th day of not expressing milk, no engorgement, no breast pain..I would like to announce the closure of Joanne's Milk Factory!

Lil Kelvin, you will still get to take mummy's breast milk, but those are frozen. The frozen breast milk can last you for around 2 weeks. After that, there will be no more mummy' s milk milk ya!

I do enjoy the breastfeeding moment that i have with my lil one, but life goes on, i need to stop it sometime. And seems like GOD hear me..or it's just co-incident?

You and your kid

2007-11-12T16:18:00.001+08:00

Nowadays, lots of parents getting more and more kiasu, they like to compare their kid with others. As long as their kid loose out in some aspect compare to the other kid, they will feel uneasy and start to think how to make their kid smarter than others.

Come to think of it, our own childhood is so fun, so meaningful. We don’t have to learn piano, ballet, drawing at young age. In fact, most of us pick up additional language such as mandarin or English at school. However, nowadays parents tend to speak in more than 1 language to their kids. And hardly you will see kids playing at the backyard with other kids. Most of the time, the kid will be sitting at home, staring computer, playing computer games. Where does the childhood happiness goes to?

I still remember, my childhood is, I spend most of my time playing with my cousins. We will run around in the house, the compound beside the house. To us, we don’t have to worry mummy will come after us with a big cane, ask us to go study MRC, abacus, bla bla. Me and my cousin like to play cooking game, we will use small pen knife and cut the tree leaves into small pieces, imitate what grandma do while she’s preparing food for us. I will run around the house with my teddy bear, whereas nowadays, hardly will see all these scene.

Will I become one of the kiasu parent? I don’t know, seriously I don’t know. One side of me telling me don’t overstress the child, the other side of me telling me if I don’t build good foundation for my kid, he will suffer when he goes to school…..

I extracted this from one of the file that a colleague of mine recently share with me,
Mainly it’s saying, if you love your kid, let them be themselves, don’t program them according to what you want them to be, let them explore their own capability and be themselves!

I need new curtain

The old curtain in the living room has been with us since we moved into our apt. I think it's time for us to change it as the color not as nice as before. I found there is a website providing instruction on making roman curtain. Uh huh, u think i will do it myself? YES, you are absolutely wrong! hahaha!

Am going to get some so called professional to do it for me. It looks easy but trust me, for people like me who doesn't know how to operate the swing machine well, the roman curtain will ended up into roman dustbin! Don't waste our time and effort, pay and get some expert to do it for us!

This is another site which provide some sample of curtains. I love roman curtain and roller blind soooo much. Anyway, don't think i will go for roman curtain in my living room. The simple and conventional curtain will do as i already have one roman curtain at my second living room cum dining area, and roller blind in my master bedroom. Price for roman curtain and roller blind a bit costly, but of course, if i can afford, i wish to have roman curtain for my entire house.

Bye bye, my dear dog

2007-11-05T09:15:00.000+08:00

It was a super tough day for me. As i need to make the toughest decision, to put or not to put my dear dog to sleep.

On 27th Sep evening, suddenly we heard Maggie scream in pain and lye on the floor motionless, gosh, it's really scared me like hell, luckily dad was at home. He quickly massage for Maggie, gave her some warm water to drink, wrap her in towel and slowly, Maggie recover. Geez, what's wrong with her...For the next few days, she doesn't has good appetite to eat, but slowly, her appetite gets recovered. So i thought she's ok and didn't bring her to see vet.

Wed 31st Oct , when i back from work, dad told me he send Maggie to vet, when i look at Maggie, gosh, she's real sick! When i walk to her, she can't even open her eyes, i called her name out and she lift her head up and try to open her eyes to look at me. Oh gosh, she really look sick. I was hoping she will gets better after the treatment from first vet.

Thu 1st Nov, when i back from work, Maggie looks more and more sick. She refuse to take any food besides water. She has no strength to walk properly but she still try her best to walk to get water from her bowl. I keep telling her to be tough and i will bring her to see another vet on Friday since i'll be off from work.

Fri 2nd Nov, after having dim sum breakfast, i headed to parents house, still Maggie's condition not improving. So i send her to Dr Pava's vet. When Mrs Dr Pava sees her, her first reaction was "oh, she's really sick!", "she's dehydrated terribly!" She then proceed to check on Maggie and initial suspect was UTI, and i feel a bit relief after hearing that, but deep down in my heart, i don't it's not as simple as UTI. But i choose to believe that she's having UTI problem, and hope that she will gets better after it. Mrs Dr Pava gave her 2 injections, one is to provide glucose, nutrients to her as she's not taking any food since Wed, and the other injection is through cervix into womb. She seems a bit energetic after the injection and she can open her eyes better. I kept injecting dog food to her every 4 hrs.

Sat 3rd Nov, when i reached parent house, my the other dog, Boyboy greeted me with crying sound. Gosh, i started to get panic as from my past experience, it's not a good sign. Previously, when i heard such thing from any of my dogs, means something bad will happen to one of them. When Pipi and Maggie Sr almost passed away, Bobo behave real weird and keep crying softly. I quickly rushed into the house and didn't see Maggie in the house, even more panic, then aunt told me Maggie is outside the house and she diarrhea earlier. Gosh, diarrhea, Mrs Dr Pava said she CANNOT vomit or diarrhea as she's already terribly dehydrated. So again, i rushed her to Dr Pava's vet. This time Dr Pava attended us and when he sees Maggie, he kept quiet for a while, then he listen to her heartbeat, then he shake his head and tell me,

"if you ask for my opinion, frankly i will tell you, no point treating her as her internal organs not functioning well anymore. I will give you 2 suggestions,

1st suggestion, give her daily treatment which will be injecting glucose and nutrients to her, to keep her away from dehydration. And also high dosage of antibiotic for the liver infection

2nd suggestion, put her to sleep"

My mind suddenly blank. Actually i do think of put her to sleep when i sees her suffer so bad, and of course i wish i'm wrong. When i heard 2nd suggestion from Dr Pava, i really don't know what to do. I told him let me go back and think about it and will come back to him later if i decided. Dr Pava is very kind, he keep explaining to us and keep telling us if it's due to religious and we don't want to go for opt2, it's ok. But at the same time, he kept telling us, no point go for opt1 as we will suffer and the dog too. Luckily i manage to control myself in vet's clinic, didn't let my tears burst out. So me and hubb brought Maggie back and i can't hold on to my tears anymore.

When we reached h0me, i called dad and he said go ahead with opt2. So in order not to let Maggie suffer any further, me and hubb brought her back to vet again. This time, we brought Mimi along too as mom said she saw Mimi vomit a bit. We afraid Mimi may get infected by bacteria. When i carry Maggie into the car, she cried softly in pain. She cried because pain or she know what i'm going to do to her? When we reached Dr Pava's clinic, Maggie really restless, she don't even move at all, and her breathing gets slower and slower and she seems like losing her body heat. Dr Pava gave her 2 injections, first is to relax her muscles, make her feel comfortable and second injection is to stop her brain and lung. After her first injection, i can see Maggie breathing normally, and slowly, she passed some urine. After few mins, Dr Pava gave her second injection which will stop her brain and lung. Very soon after second injection, within 1~2 seconds, there isn't any abdomen movement. Maggie IS GONE! She is so sick that she doesn’t even take her last breath, gasp for oxygen!!

Although the whole procedure took about 5 mins, but i felt that it's more than that. Dr Pava said the owner is requested to be there when the vet put the pet to sleep. As he wants the owner to witness the whole procedure, it's not a painful procedure like what others describe.

One thing that touched my heart is, when Maggie is sick, Mimi sort like taking care of her, and the night before she passed away, Mimi went to see Maggie and lead Maggie towards her pillow, asked Maggie to sleep on her pillow. And where Mimi sleeps? This little rascal she then sleep on sofa in living room.

Dear Maggie,

I hope you wont bangry with mummy for making such a decision. You are such a wonderful dog to all of us. We love you very much.

I still remember the moment we brought you back from the seller. You are such a small dog, i started to fed you with one small dog biscuit and very soon you started to eat one small bowl of dog biscuit, then one medium bowl of dog biscuit. There is one time that mummu needs to work late for quite sometime, so everyday you will help mummy to "entertain" Terence. Everyday you will wait for him at the main door, when you sees him there, you will wave and back, asking us to open the gate for him.Then you will wait for him outside the room when he changes his pants, then you will wait for him outside the bathroom when he takes his shower. Then you will sit beside him quietly when he takes his meal. After that you will sit beside him when he watches TV. You are such a wonderful dog!

May you will have a better life outwhere. Rest in peace, my dearest dog!

My story

2007-11-01T16:39:00.000+08:00

Come, let me share some "interesting" story with you guys!

Today, i had a "meaningful" conversation with my manager.

M : Manager
J : Me

Ok, 2:15pm, after back from wee wee, i went to her place. She showed me one of the Green Belt project documentation from one of our colleague. She read skip read skip the document, and towards the end,

M: Probably you can join this Green Belt project as they need someone to assist them in pulling data. The current guy that who suppose work on this is overload
J: (Quiet, as i don't feel like talking to her)
M: Well, as the project member for this, you need to know the procurement data as they are doing data clean up now. (Her reaction was like , "i don't think u can handle it!")
J: ( Again, i don't talk, just force myself to smile back at her)
M: How familiar are you with the PLM database
J: (thought of telling her i uses PLM for almost 6 yrs!) Errm, i uses PLM database when i was in Planning team
M: Which table you uses?
J: (Hello, there is tonnes of tables in PLM) Mostly planning related to generate planning report
M: (ask me to learn link table again! duh!) You need to master the data model and probably need to link multiple tables to get the data
J: (always ask me to link table! duh!! sian loh!) Ok ok
M: If i ask the guy to give u his original SQL script, will it help? Are you able to execute it?
J: (Wei, hit the execute button will do mah! Tot i am really that computer illiterate!) Well, better, i don't have to start to write the query from scratch!
M: You think about it and let me know your decision
J: (wah lau-eh, ask me to think and consider, thought she's suppose to assign thing for me to do???) Ok
M: If you don't want to involve in the project, probably i will reject the request, because we have resource constraint
J: (WHAT???!!!!!! Blame on me pula! Again, smile at her) Ok

Next topic
M : What do you think about current arrangement?
J: Well, not much involvement in project, so i can't comment much or feedback much
M: Oh yeah yeahhh.....we need content expert in the projects
J: (ok fine!!! what else u expect me to say when u keep saying me not content expert for procurement! Force me to go over procurement, leaving my planning knowledge behind and now keep hitting me saying i don't have procurement knowledge!)
M: Do you receive the face to face meeting invitation?
J: I think i do...but not for next week, it's week after next
M: You are not the official resource for the project, so you are not invited to next week's meeting. Let me check with the meeting organizer whether you can join the meeting or not as you know, you are not the official resource, so it's not go good for you to join them in meeting room
J: (DUH!!!!!!!! me not official resource!! When u guys force me to come over, you said i will be helping in this project!!) It's ok, since me not official resource!
M: Do you think i should ask BH to loop you in into his emails and meeting with the US folks?
J: (me piss off with her previous comment) If they really need my help, then loop me in, else NO NEED!

Next Topic
M: About next week's dinner, you have difficulty arranging transportation
J: Yes, i need to pick my son from nursery
M: Maybe u can leave earlier to pick up your son. (Leave early? those who know my previous problem, you think i can leave early?
J: (just keep quiet)
M: Well, maybe we can do it this way, whoever come first eat first, come later eat later, and those cannot come, it's ok
J: (u said it's team dinner and u said so!!!!! not sincere at all! Btw, i booked table for normal dinner, how come be come first eat first...those come late eat table and chair??? So i keep quiet and force myself to SMILE...)
M: do you have any question for me?
J: Yes, about the new salary pay range
M: Eh, out already meh?
J: YES, it's out already. I spoke with ex-boss earlier and he said it's out
M: oh ok ok , let me check and get back to you

M: Can you elaborate more
J: (wah lau, me on fire liao!) ta da ta da ta da...
M: Well, yeah, this is the way we did it
J : NOPE, this is not what i understand from previous manager! They do consider their previous working experience...
M: Only those relevant.
J: Yes, me has planning experience for 6 YRS!! And you guys didn't consider it at all!!!
M: (again all piss off talk)

And at last she said probably i can lead planning project...WHAT???!!! Force me to move to procurement, and no assignment for me and now want to throw me back to planning..tot me s ball is it!!! ARGH!!!!

Help me, what the heck is this!!! So piss off!!!

Cool down, me going back now to see my sweet little pie!!!

A Day in the Zoo

2007-10-11T09:30:00.000+08:00

**All the characters in this blog are merely fictional,any similarities to anyone in real life are mere coincidence**

One sunny day,since i have nothing better to do, so i go to the nearby "AT" Zoo.
When i was there, i saw a parrot talking to a goat by the name "Scape", in another word, parrot talking to a scapegoat. Their conversation is roughly on the allegation that the chicken in the jungle made on the scapegoat, and the parrot become the messenger between the two. The chicken in the jungle is so high class that she can't walk out from the jungle and talk to the scapegoat.

P- Parrot
C- Chicken in the jungle
S - Scapegoat

P : I talked to C after our conversation, and she understand the whole situation
already, are you ok with that?
S : (Of course not ok lah!!! Who will feel happy after being stab for unknown reason)
Well, to me, i personally feel that if someone happen to make a unjust
accusation on another person, he/she should apologies personally with that
person and not go through someone else to pass the message
P: (As expect, the P will side C) Oh no no no, she didn't make any accusation on
you,she just ask
S: Well , to me, making a statement without any solid reason or proof is consider
as accusation. And why at the first place she make such a statement on me?
P: Oh, she saw you few times coming in late and ONE TIME go off early
S: Oh, the few times coming in late and ONE time go off early , so she can simply
make a conclusion!
P: expected again! show the chicken look!) Oh, maybe that day when i talked to you,
my tone not very good, i apologies if i am too rough
S: Oh, no no, your tone is just nice, you don't seems offense me or anything. It's
her statement that make me feel uneasy

Scapegoat kept telling the parrot that her tone is just nice, nothing wrong with her tone, yet the parrot keep saying it's her problem, bla bla bla...and finally...

P: I apologies on behalf of the chick
S: NO!!! It's nothing relate to you. It's between me and her NOT me and you!!!
P: (Keep quiet for a while! Again, apologies again!)
S: (DUH!!!! Waste of breath! I better go back and sleep!) OK!

Then Scapegoat walk away.....

Come to think of it, it sounds quite similar to our real life,
Chicken in the jungle - Manager's Manager
Parrot - Manager
Scapegoat - Employee

Manager and their manager always RIGHT! They can say anything they want. And with the word SORRY, they will expect we forget whatever they said. BUT...If we do something wrong and no matter how we say SORRY to them, we are dead meat! They will REMEMBER our FAULT FOREVER and EVER, until the day they die!

I remember mom taught me, we need to apologies to people sincerely, personally if we happen to do something wrong on the other person. We cannot just walk away and hope that time will clear off everything.

Hmm...could it be, the higher you climb, the more things need to be downloaded into your brain, so you delete the morale value that we learn from school???

I want to be a manager

2007-10-04T09:32:00.000+08:00

Before today, if you ask me whether i want to be a technical person or people manager, without hesitate, i will tell you, "I want to be technical person!" But, remember, there is 2 fix constants in this world, which is 1. People will die 2. Change. So AFTER yesterday's "meaningful" conversation with my superior, i change my mind, I WANT TO BE MANAGER!!!!! You must be wondering what makes me change my mind. Let me tell you few good points to be manager.

Manager doesn't need to know much
Manager can SIMPLY make their OWN ASSUMPTION BASED ON WHATEVER they think
Manager can come to work late and go off early, reason "busy with off hr meeting"
Manager can do WHATEVER they like with justification "It's good for you and the company"

So, what should i wait any longer? Since there is so many good points to become manager, of course i want to change my career path. Ok, let me tell you what makes me change my mind!!!!! Pls turn your cellphone, pager, house phone, tv, radio off....sit back relax and enjoy yourself!

Yesterday, my manager (M) told me, her boss (YS) ask her what's wrong with me.
Before this, let me briefly describe the character of the story to you, like what we used to do when we watch movie.
LYS - she's a dungu manager, where she has SINGLE eye lids but she likes to put 2 patches of
BLACK eye shadows on her eyes, so from far, people thought she has BIG EYES...hiaks.
M - she is our manager but she act like highly paid admin to us, everything also don't know
J - me me me....
M is my manager, J is me

M: YS asked me "What's wrong with Joanne, how come she comes to work late and leave
early?"
J: (i puzzled and immediately piss off by this statement) Huh? I usually come in before most
of our team mate and usually the last one to leave.
M: Hmm..then how come YS says so?
J: (Oh..i know) Oh, could it be last Friday she sees me walk in around 9 something? I brought
my son to see doc as he is not feeling well
M : hmm...maybe
J: By the way, she must be coming in after me and leave almost same time as me, then only
she can see me coming in late and leave early...right?
M: (keep quiet...expected, as she doesn't has her own opinion)
J : And also, i car pool with hubby, u think possible for me to come in late and leave early?
M : Oh yeah hor...yeah yeah yeah...(well, again, her usual response, DUH!)
J : oh..could it be she sees me carrying my big bag that i keep my milk bag? And usually when
i go to Mother's room, i carry the bag together with my water container, she thought me
just come in when she sees me in the morning, and she thought me going back when she
sees me in the afternoon. I express milk 2 times in office
M: (Again with the same expression) Oh yeah yeah, maybe....
M : How many times your express milk in office?
J : 2 times
M : You still breastfeeding your son? He's turning one soon right?
J : Yes, still breastfeed
M: No plan to stop yet?
J : (hubby actually said can gradually stop, but i'm not going to tell M) No plan to stop yet,
will continue bf until no supply
M: (pause for a while) Actually, it's good...good that you can continue and still have supply.
good good...
J : DUH!

KNS, MF..Pardon my language..i feel upset with this stupid accusation!!!
First, they forced me to move to another area and i just follow whatever their instruction, didn't make any complain or noise...and now find fault with me..DUH!!!!!!!

Then, i walk back to my place, jump up and down ...when i told my team mate about our conversation, most of their reaction was

"Since when u come in late and leave early so often!"
"die lah, Joanne comes in around 8am and goes back after 5:30pm, yet the mgmt says she comes in late and goes back early, then next time we all have to come by 7am and go back by 7pm!!!"

Bla bla bla bla bla...then i went to mother's room to express milk! And also consult my english teacher on how to draft a nice email to chicken in the jungle as i feel unfair with such an accusation on thing that i didn't do!!!!!!!

After that, i drop LYS an email, tracked she read it or not..i send the mail at 5.28pm and she read it at 6:33pm. Until now, she hasn't reply my mail yet. Maybe she needs to ask her hubby or her group of "consultant" to draft the email. What do you expect, the higher you climb, the less intelligent you will be!!! Hahahahaaaaa...

So at the end, YES, i WANT TO BE MANAGER!!!

Yeah!! My first cake!

2007-09-17T16:07:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I made biscuit cake, too bad, my baby boy don't get to taste it as it contains egg.
**No worry, mummy will make one for u when u officially start to eat egg. **

And too bad, i am too excited with my first creation, and i forget to take any pic at all. YES YES, i never make any cake before, this is my first time doing it! During my stay in US, i am glad to have good housemate and friend who can cook and bake well, so i don't have to pick up baking skill, and now, i am slowly learning so that i can make some for my son and hubby in future! Will see how huh! Could be ended up hubb suggest me to buy from bakery! hahaha!

It's fairly simple, otherwise i won't think of trying it. Here is what you need :-
1 block of butter (~250gm)
30 pcs crackers
6 eggs
a bit of sugar (based on own judgement)

1.Mix the butter and egg together
2.smash the crackers
3.Mix 1 & 2 together
4. Pour 3 on a plate
5. Steam for 15 ~ 20 mins

Then..ta daa...finish! Easy right?
But, i tell you, the process of cleaning is a bit messy as you need to clean the butter from your blender or whatever you use to mix the egg and butter.

Dad said it's a bit oily, i think maybe the biscuit that i bought contain a bit more of oil compare to other cracker, and i uses 1 book of butter...so it taste a bit oily when it's serve hot.
I put some in fridge and brought to office to share with friends, so far all good comments :)
Maybe it's kept in fridge overnight, so all the oily get harden a bit compare to when it's still hot? who knows..!

And i am too excited til i forget to take single pic of my first creation.

I need a new wallet

2007-09-09T17:17:00.000+08:00

I've been looking for new purse for quite sometime, however, still unable to find a purse that i like.

Today, i walk into Braun Buffel outlet in QBM, and i found few that i like. All the while i thought the price will be very expensive, to my surprise, the purse is at RM200 range. Hmm...due to i am in hurry to rush back to see my sweetie pie, so i just glance through and will make a trip back there again!! :)

Coffee and me

2007-09-09T16:47:00.000+08:00

I stopped taking coffee 6 mths before preggie and didn't take any until today....i broke the rule!!
Hubb and i went to Starbucks at QBM as he needs to get some vouchers. As he tried to purchase Stabucks voucher from the Midvally outlet when we were in KL sometime in Mar07, the store manager told him that Strabucks don't see gift voucher???!!!! I remembered i saw the Starbucks voucher from one of the credit cards redemption catalog.

So, today as we pass by Starbucks at QBM, i told hubby to try our luck to check with the store manager, to our surprise, they do sell voucher!! Duh ! As we were waiting for the store manager to get us the voucher, again, we try our luck to ask whether any free beverage for us...ta daa!!!The store manager gave each of us a cup of medium size coffee. I am not sure what coffee they gave us, but i can tell, there is strong vanilla flavor, strong milk taste and also, i can feel there is some red beans, yummie though!

Besides, i spotted the sandwich displayed at the counter, looks yummie though. Hmm....will go there another time to try on the sandwich!

Baby Nursery decoration

2007-08-30T14:32:00.000+08:00

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

2007-08-28T15:40:00.000+08:00

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

2007-08-28T15:13:00.000+08:00

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!

Still working in the same company, same dept, sit on the same chair, working from the same cubicle using the same laptop, the only different is report to diffent boss , handle different thing, isn't that interesting and cool?

Something about my job

2007-08-14T10:43:00.000+08:00

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?

2007-08-07T20:50:00.000+08:00

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

What is mother's love means?

2007-07-27T15:07:00.000+08:00

Recently, when you read newspapers, seems like everyday also have some article about kid.

Mishandling of maid causing 6 mths old baby fall off from bed, and caused leg fractured.

Poor little baby, both legs need to be hang up, it must be very hard for the baby as he wont be able to turn himself as and when he wants to. Personally, i don't agree with the idea leave the baby alone at home with the maid. Maid is an outsider, how could we simply leave our baby to an outsider? Falling off from bed can caused leg fracture? hmm.....can we or should we trust what the maid say?

Parents tortured the baby til dead
This is even more scary. I always don't understand, how can parents kill/torture their own kid. No doubt, sometime it's very hard to handle kid, but, we need to be patience when dealing with kid. And, another thing which i cannot understand is, how could a mother hurt their own kid. The mother should have strong bonding with the kid as she is the one who carries the baby in her womb for 9 months.......

dear mummies, if you decide don't want your own kid, don't hurt them, just send them to welfare department and let the people there help your kid to find a good and better home, ok? Duh! Pls think twice before you "play" with your partner, and ...pls invest in good quality "raincoat" ok!

Mother's love

2007-07-12T14:15:00.000+08:00

All the while, i thought as a mother, she should be the one protecting her child from being hurt, until recently, there is one case whereby the mother doesn't comply with her role and responsibility as mother. If you are one of the follower of this case, don't you think that the little girl is so so so cute!!!But ....

As a mother, she should protect her child,
but, she is so evil minded,
instead of protecting the lovely child,
she choose to protect the JOBLESS boyfriend of her!

The little girl suppose to be happily run around , play with her toys, get pampered by everyone, but now, she is resting in peace.....
The most interesting point is,
the mother can make up the whole story to cover up what the boyfriend did!
She told everyone that she lost the girl at Bayan Baru carpark.
And at last, guess what.....the final story is....the cruel boyfriend of her, he "killed" the little girl and cut her into pieces....

When i first heard of this, my first impression was,
"WHAT!!! How could you leave your 3 yrs old little girl unattended and you yourself walk away to look for parking attendant?"
"Can't you drive along to look for the parking attendant?"

The case still under investigation and i feel that since the mother so useless, just send her and the bf to dead. Don't waste any time and effort to find out the actual.

Poor little girl, it's good that you leave this horrible family. Hope you will find a better family after reborn.

Do You Need to Lose Weight?

2007-07-11T14:03:00.000+08:00

Your Weight is Ideal

Your BMI is 20.2 - a healthy BMI falls between 18.5 and 25

Congratulations, you are the perfect weight for your height.
Even though you may not be entirely happy with your weight, you are healthy.
So gain or lose a few pounds if you want, but don't go too crazy!

Don't agree? Blame the government standards we based this test on!

Do You Need to Lose Weight?

Tagged By Yan for a topic that i choose to ignore ever since i gave birth. Are you over weight, under weight or perfect!

Well, mine still within the range, so i guess i can slow down my diet plan and eat as if i am preggie. No way! I can't afford to eat as if i'm preggie...must control a bit, else i will look like penguin.

Went to MNG sales with Angeline, when i look at those dress or top.....how i wish i did control my diet after gave birth, more hardworking in exercising, bla bla bla......i tried few tops, it's either too low cut or it makes me look as if i am pregnant ..so end up, only walk out with one white hand bag! hahahaha..Oops, side track a bit, now, back to weight....ahem, no plan to go on diet! hahahaha!!

Now, i would like to pass the tag to few people :-

How to tell if i cook

2007-06-29T15:27:00.000+08:00

How to tell that i'm the one who's doing the cooking ...

I may burn the pot...ask Terence how well i burn the pot that he just bought for less than a week
will spill the water all over the stove, and may forget to wipe away the stain

Should be more than enough points to tell whether i am the cook of the day or not, right!

I don't really enjoy cooking, but i admire those who can cook, bake.....BUT, i enjoy EATING! While we were courting, hubb did the cooking MOST OF THE TIME and me in charge of eating :) But now, i cook!! I cook for my lovely son!!! Thanks baby, so far you LOVE the porridge that mummy cook for you.....hahahaha, coz he never expose to any other food besides those cook by me ...and he's purely on veggie porridge!!So no need any special skill to cook food for my baby.

Apa ini!

2007-06-29T15:20:00.000+08:00

Sometime, i don't understand....

When you go apply for a job, they will tell you..."sorry, you are not qualify for this position because you don't have relevant experience, you don't have the qualification that we are looking for....bla bla..." thousand and one reasons...

and sometime, in the org, u will see...someone being appointed to work at the position that he/she NEVER has experience before...but the hiring manager will have ONLY ONE reason to justify why he/she qualify for the position. They will say "he/she has wide experience in bla bla bla bla bla, that's why he/she is qualify for this position"

Funny boh...

this is workplace and this is politic, and this is how good your "shoe polishing" skill kick in

Alamak - I am so "proud" of myself

2007-05-30T11:26:00.000+08:00

Forgot to blog these incidents til Angie reminded me...

I ter-cook the porridge and burn the new pot!
We bought a new cooking pot last Sunday...so happy, got new pot for me to play with...who knows, it only manage to serve us for 2 days. Why? Because on Tuesday i cooked porridge for Kelvin and walk away for a while and the porridge overburn!! And there is overburn stain in the pot..no matter how i wash it, it's still there....sign of my victory! Good job !!

Alamak...another incident happen when i work from home today.

Since i send the slow cooker to Kelvin's nursery, so i only have rice cooker at home. After checking with my GUY colleague, Loo, that i can cook barley in rice cooker, then the smart me, procced to cook with rice cooker. Here is the story:-

1st attempt: put barley into rice cooker with water, then happily attending telecon. After tcon, go check at the rice cooker..alamak, barley becomes rice
2nd attempt: Add PLENTY of water into rice cooker, then happily continue to work. Ehh..heard funny sound from kitchen. Alamak, barley water all over the kitchen floor. Aiyoh, Loo didn't tell me that i need to watch at the rice cooker....So, i got chance to play with the big mop that Terence just bought few weeks ago. I need to seperate the "hair" of the mop into three portions and slowly squeeze dry portion by portion.Bb, i salute u, the mop is so big and heavy leh!
3rd attempt:pandai pandai throw one piece of rock sugar into rice cooker. 10 mins later, go taste the barley water...wah lau eh..so SWEET!

Bb, no worry, i clean up the mess already..but i will keep some SWEETheart barley water for u later ya...hahaha

Something about Me and HIM

2007-05-24T20:35:00.000+08:00

Being tagged by Evan's Mummy to list down 5 things that i draw Terence mad and 5 things that he draw me mad. When i knew she's doing this tag, i told her not to tag me, but since we were friends for sooooo long, so she tends to ignore what i said, and tagged me right after she's done with hers. So nice of her......but then ask me to list down 5 things, so little.....Can i write more?NO WAY, u think i will wash my dirty laundry in public? Hmm, if you wanna know more, then drop my link more frequent ya!

Ok, let me start with 5 things that he draws me mad:-

He spends lots of time in the loo. Sometime, i think of putting web cam in the loo to see what he's doing in there. I don't understand how come hubb can read in the loo, it's so uncomfy in there....duh...oh man oh man, i can't understand the reason u spend so much time in there. Maybe you should share your feeling reading in loo with me and "maybe" one day, i may follow you, read in loo! hahaha..hiaks
Playing with Kelvin at night. Hubb likes to play with Kelvin on the bed. When our little boy gets excited, he will refuse to sleep. Then, i will in trouble. Coz if Kelvin doesn't sleep, then i can't sleep too!! And me love sleeping soooo much, i can go into my sweet dreamland less than 1 min after i lay on the bed. cool huh!
"Hello!!!....wei!!!....."when he's watching TV, he will tend to shut her ears off from me. But, he can hear the TV conversation very well. I think he's imaging himself as one of the actors in the movie, that's why he ignore me!
Work work work and work. Long long time ago, before we have broadband at home, both of us rarely work from home after office hours. But now, since we have broadband at home, so most of the time, he will sit in front of computer, work work and work....i know because of me, he has to reach office late and leave office early, but then after office hour, should allocate time for family ,agree?
Mumbling to himself. Sometime when i talk to him, he did response back to me, but he's mumbling to himself and i have to "huh? huh? huh?" for several times until i piss off. Nowadays i'm sitting at the backseat with our little prince Kelvin, so whenever he talked to me when we are in the car, i wont be able to hear it clearly as hubb is a soft spoken guy, so i have to listen very hard then only know what he's saying.

Time to list down 5 things that i draw him mad :-

"ok boh?" I like to ask for his opinion when come to the time i need to make decision. Or, sometime, in the morning, when i dressed up to go work, i will ask him "ok boh?". When he reply "ok", i will follow by another question "are u sure ok" hahaha...ask him yet still doubt on his feedback
Sleep sleep sleep. I LOVE sleeping. I remember. before having Kelvin, i can sleep til lunch time during weekend. Then after lunch, continue to sleep again
Leaving my thing everywhere. I tend to leave my thing everywhere, and when i need it, i will ask hubb. And if he doesn't know where i put it, i will complain complain and complain saying he doesn't help me to remember when i put it bla bla bla..and in actual fact, i may forget to let him know where i place those thing though :p
Shoes Shoe more and more! "Bb, let's go shopping. I wanna buy shoes!! "Buying shoes is my hobby. When I'm wearing blue dress, i will make sure my shoes is at least blue or white color; when I'm wearing black dress, i will make sure my shoes is black; when I'm yellow dress, i will make sure my show is beige color,etc ; gosh, if u have chance, come to my house and see how i conquer hubb's shoe rack!
Shopping !! Can i say most lady like to shop? I am a great shopper! Wherever u bring me to, i will buy something from there. Don't believe, ask my hubby. I can walk into bakery, come out with big and small bag; i can go into small grocery shop, come out with a small bag of something. So, no need to tell when i am in shopping mall!! Of course with lots of lots of big bags!

Phew...took me almost an hr to come out with 5 things for each of us as i need to re-prioritize, re-filter, rethink,re-bla bla bla each points. See, i ter-type 5 things from each of us...so u get to know something about us.

Bb, hope you wont angry with me when u read this blog. Come to think of it, if there is nothing that make each of us mad on each others, then where the spark will comes from, right? No one is perfect in this world, that is why me and you ended up as husband and wife coz we love each other's uniqueness. haha! agree?

What a day!!

2007-05-18T14:48:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was a ter-day for me....why? Let me tell you...

I am suppose to attend a telecon at 8am, but i ter-sleep
I am suppose to send yahoo msg to Mr A, but i ter-send to Ms B

And it's the first day i cook porridge for Kelvin, so friend warned me, don't ter-cook til the porridge become rice cake

Affair

2007-05-11T15:27:00.000+08:00

Friend of mine told me that she suspects her hubby cheat on her....and asked for my opinion.

Well well, when come to such serious thing, me out of idea. I don't know how to help her. Seek advise from other friend, and most of them said confront the hubby. But i tell you ya, 99% the hubby will deny...so no point ask. Might as well close one eye pretend know nothing. But, again, how could you pretend?Hard right?

Being a woman is not an easy job, especially for those with kids. You need to act as mummy to your kid, wife and girlfriend to your hubby. Must play multi role..interesting leh!To maintain a family is not an easy job.

Gimme RM1800

2007-05-11T15:15:00.000+08:00

Gimme RM1800...wow, what i'm going to do with that amount of money?

Last week, went to Sequins and the tauke soh approached me, keep asking me to go for double eye lid surgery....it's RM1800!! Wah lau eh...just a 10 mins thingy, and it cost RM1800. She keep ask me to do, well well, if it's RM180, ok lah, i can decide on the spot, but RM1800 wor....

Hmm...u think hubby will sponsor me that amout of money? Don't think so leh...

But then hior , if i go for double eye lids surgery, next time when i bring mr Chiang junior out, people will wonder, how come the daddy mummy both with double eye lids but the baby single eye lids...hahahahaha

Gosh, has been long time i didn't go for facial...i miss the moment. The momet u sleep on the bed, someone massage for you, picit the pimples for you, picit the black head for you...and when u are done with the facial, you come out like a red lobster caused from the picit picit mah.
After deliver mr Chiang junior, aunty liao mah..so didn't bother to go for facial ....cannot cannot must go liao, else face will full with dead skin...but when to go..one good excuse is NO TIME!!!

Captain jump ship!! Titanic liao lah!

2007-05-04T20:57:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, we received meeting invitation from our tauke in US. He is also my direct report boss. As we screen through the recepients list, we found out that he invited all of his staffs to the meeting...sooooo as usual, we started to speculate..

"tauke got new role?"
"new tauke joining the team?"

Today, 9am!!! It's the time, it's the time!!

Tauke told us that he accepted new role and will move to his new role by June.
Oh no!! Captain jump ship!!! Titanic liao lah....

Sooo, the next question from us will be,
"who will be our new boss?"
"Will we report to local manager"

Since i have 1:1 with tauke today at 1pm, so i asked him...
At the same time, tauke asked me,
"What are the reaction for those in Penang?" hahahaha....so, i told him, "When we receive the meeting inv, we started to brainstorm possible outcome and jump ship is one of the possible outcome that we thought during the brainstorming seasson!!" haahahaha

Tauke is working with his tauke to sort out who will "adopt" us. And in 2 weeks time, we will know who is our new boss. Wish me luck!

Of all, i HATE org change the most!!! Duh!!! Hate this sssssoooo much...new tauke, new style....sigh...but this is part of life...have to face it.WISH me luck plsssssssssssssss!!!

Home alone with Kelvin - Day 2

2007-05-03T15:48:00.000+08:00

Yesterday night little Kelvin cry very very teruk and loud and night. Looking for daddy? i think yeap. This little Kelvin, very manja one, especially to the daddy. He will laugh out loud when he sees the daddy.

Hubb called back 3 times...first time is when he reached hotel, second time is after his dinner and third time is before i go to bed, and his supper time. We chatted for a while only.

I hope tonite little Kelvin will be better than yday night. Wish me and little Kelvin luck.

Hope hubb can come back ASAP....so that me and little Kelvin won't miss him for sooooo long....it's many many days and hours, u know!

Hubby check in to Indonesia's Shang-ri La Hotel SAFELY

2007-05-02T20:07:00.000+08:00

Finally, after few hours of long waiting, i managed to talk to hubby. Hubb call back around 7:35pm Malaysia time. He is in hotel now. According to him, the security check outside the hotel very tight. When the cab reached hotel, 5 to 6 police checked the car thoroughly. I think they afraid of terrorism. Anyhow, glad that hubb reached the hotel safely.

I passed the phone to Vin boy and he looked puzzle again when he heard hubb's voice over the phone. We talked for a while only as hubb will go for dinner with a colleagues of him who also in Indonesia.

Doubt i will be able to chat with hubb over the net tonite as there is NO Internet connection in the room. The WIFI is only available at the lounge area.Will see how....if not, we will use the convention way, EMAIL.....

Home alone with Kelvin - Day 1

2007-05-02T14:53:00.000+08:00

Today is Day 1 me home alone with Kelvin.

We send Terence to airport around 1:10pm today. Kelvin shouted at daddy when he sees him walk away from us. Hmm...wonder how hubby feels huh. This is first time we gotta seperate with one another after Kelvin borned.

Hmm...i will definately miss him, but wonder will he misses us? hmm...mmuuuaaaahhhh from me and Vin boy

Work From Home

2007-04-30T11:00:00.000+08:00

As tomorrow and day after tomorrow will be holiday for Agilent, sooo lots of people will on leave on today. As most of my colleagues on leave today, so i stay at home and work from home....

Nothing exciting about my job, as usual, read mail, delete mail, reply mail...but one exciting thing is....

Guess what i did? I fix the wall attachable hanger kit for washing kits in hubb's toilet. Bought it from Thye Huat last Tuesday. I put some soap at the back of the adsorption base coz i read from one magazine, by doing so, it will make the adsorption base to stay on to the wall better wor..will see how...will see when i will heard a loud noise from hubb's toi when he put his thing into the hanger.

Home alone with Kelvin

2007-04-30T10:11:00.000+08:00

In 2 more days time, i gotta be home alone with Kelvin. Terence will be going to Indonesia for business trip. This will be the FIRST time me home alone with Kelvin since he's borned. I am not sure whether i can handle Vin boy at night or not as every night, he needs daddy and mummy to sleep beside him for a while, before he decides to sleep. And sometime when he make lots of noise, Terence will be the one "kau tim" him, especially if Vin boy has nightmare and cry out loud.

Wish me luck!

Adventist's Paed clinic

2007-04-30T09:38:00.000+08:00

sigh, i don't understand why the Paed clinic in Adventist don't allow us to make appointment. I was there yesterday and the clinic so crowded. Parents carry their baby walk around, some of them sleep in parents' arm....pity those kids.

I reached there around 11:30am, got my number and the nurse asked me to come back after 1 hour. Outside is raining, and what you expect me to do? I can't bring the baby to elsewhere besides walking around in the hospital. And it's Sunday, everywhere is so crowded in the hospital. Me and hubby need to take turn carry our little baby and keep entertaining him else he will get bored and make noise.

Met one ex-colleagues there, she told me she waited to 3 hrs!!! WHAT!! I will go crazy if i have to wait for 3 hrs with my baby there.

I think they should implement appointment system so that all the poor daddy and mummy don't have to wait long at the paed clinic. I wish one day they will let us make appointment.

Winnie the Pooh container

2007-04-29T22:53:00.000+08:00

yeah yeah....hubby bought contact lense multi purpose solution last Sat and it comes with a Winnie the Pooh container...but then..that container is tall and thin shape, so can only feed in small biscuits. Inside, it's mocha biscuit. Hubb don't allow me to eat as hubb afraid our little boy may get impacted by the mocha....sigh...i curi curi tasted few, it's nice though. Well wel, i turn the bottle upside down to search for mocha word in the ingredients, but can't find. Told hubb, but he still wont let me eat it...Never mind, he will finish the biscuit and leave the container for me :)

"Excellent" customer service

2007-04-27T21:24:00.000+08:00

Went to HSBC panel lawyer firm this morning with mom.Hmm, the lawyer firm is Presgrave & Matthews.

Ok, we reached there around 10:40am.

Reception : Yes, can i help you?
Mom: I'm looking for Ms XXX.
Reception : do you have appointment with her?
Mom: Yes, the HSBC officer arranged it for us.
Reception : Pls have a sit

Happily, me and mom sit on the sofa.

1 min later, a lady came out. My first impression is,
"ehhh...this lady can boh? Can she really help us?"
Why i think so? Because the way she dress up looks like going for shopping, doesn't look like those pro who works in lawyer firm.
When she open her mouth and talk, i almost faitned. She seems to be as blur as me...well, to those who know me, you know lah, me blur blur most of the time one mah :p
Then mom told her we are bla bla bla, then she walk in.

A while later, another lady comes out. She bring us into a meeting room and told us one of her colleagues will come and assist us. Then, another lady comes in.
Me a bit on fire. Can't the suppose to be person come out and talk to us? Why must they make fool of us and let different people come to us and tell us another person will come and assist us.

The lady asked for our IC and another lady come in with a big stack of documents. Again, my impression is, "eh.....this lady can boh?"
So, she started to talk, bla bla bla, as if she is so pro in all the documents. After few sentence, she excused herself and the second lady that asissted us came in and told us that the colleague who spoke to us just now need to go for meeting and ask us to come back later.

WHAT!!!! me on fire liao lah!!!
So i said to her, "YOU TIME IS TIME AND OUR TIME IS NOT TIME HUH!!!" Then i walked out and gave her a good STARE!!!

WHAT LAWYER FIRM IS THIS!!! WASTE OF MY TIME!!! And somemore now is income tax filing season. Mom and me have to look for parking lot so hard...then, this is what we get...duh!!!!

Steamboat Dinner -hiaks

2007-04-26T21:10:00.000+08:00

Went for the steamboat shop opposite Sg Dua McD for dinner buffet with colleagues, to our surprise, the expected value of the food not there anymore. First, price increase, secondly, the food quality and quantity drop. While we are eating, suddenly the shop people pop by and asked

shop ppl - P; one of us - w

P:your table 6 or 7 person?
w:7
P: Is everyone here?
w: yes
P: Total is RM126

wah lau eh, so kiasu, afraid we wont pay for the food. So, colleague paid first while the rest of us don't bother much, continue eating...hahaha

They do not refill food quickly, there is delay in food replenishment. Those "expensive" item such as prawn does not get refilled. Even those fish ball also didn't get refill. Sooo ended up, we eat noodle, veggie...well, well, usually i wont eat noodle when i go for steamboat buffet, but then, i have nothing else to eat, i've eaten most of the food there...oh yeah, they do serve fried mee and bee hoon....and the bee hoon all stick together, sigh

And, to your surprise, this shop is forever pack with customers everytime i pass by that road. Sigh, i guess, could be there is no other choice of cheap steamboat buffet shop around Bayan Lepas area.

Sigh, if i know about the "wonderful" service and food, i wont suggest to have dinner there. To my fellow frens who had dinner together, SORRY for choosing this lousy place, we should have drive all the way to Nagore place for Kim steamboat buffet. No no no BIG THANKS,i wont go back to that shop again.
