A MESSAGE FROM HUBBY

honey, i dun know why i got the strong feeling, what we did last nite, sure kena this time. hehehe...

失憶老闆 2.0

my dear friends, if you guys have bosses who have short term memory lost, i can really understand your situation, i have one too...  *sad*

i admit that she's always packed and busy with her 'no-one-knows' schedules.  well, i'm just a small potato in the department, i need not to know what my boss is doing actually.  doesn't matter, it's not the main point.

there's a big project going on recently.  initially the project was started in HQ and i was handling all the proposal and approval papers, quotations and purchase orders and stuff like that.  when the project was about to kick start, appointment of project manager was required.  i have to consult my boss for the appointment, in case i'm the appointed one, i will need to negotiate my relocation to site during the project.  moreover, i'm not the user of site system, i need help from the user during SIT and UAT.

i explained clearly to my boss, what a project manager needs to ensure and do.  she considered for a while and appointed two, the user and i.  well, i think it's inappropriate to have 2 managers in a project, so i said no, it can allow only one.  how can 2 managers work on 1 set of proposal and approval papers, 1 set of quotations and purchase orders, which of us would be the contact point for vendors and partners?  i wonder if my boss knows what i have explained to her and i wonder if she knows the definition of a project manager??!

at last she appointed the user to be the project manager.  i was so relieved that it wasn't me as i have 2 concurrent projects running in HQ.  from that day onwards, i pass all proposal and approval papers to the project manager, explained to her how to go about it, submitting papers to the finance and regional, getting quotations from vendors, introducing her as the project manager to vendors and colleagues in other liaising departments and stuff like that.

as i don't know how the site system works, i volunteer to take charge of the integration part, from the site system to the system in HQ.  happy that the project manager and i have mutual understanding on the arrangement.  and i think i have done more than what i suppose to do.  i attended all pre kick start, kick start, UR and review meetings. imagine, i have never logged in that system, i have never gotten a chance to study how it works, basically i know nothing about that system.  joining them in the meeting is such a challenge to me, learning and catching up from zero and the same time.

guess what...  we left out my boss in our 'mutual understanding'.  she called me last night and scolded me like hell, yeah, like hell, for not submitting the proposal and approval papers to finance on time!  WTF!  this is one of the things that the project manager needs to take care of!  she said i got her wrong, the project manager is to take care only the UAT!  i need to take charge of the things in HQ.  F**K!  who says that??!  i explained to her during the appointment and now what??!  i never heard of a project manager only doing testing!!  i putih-putih kena 吊!

i hate it when she blames me for the fault caused by her short term memory lost!  s**t! this is not the first time, numerous times and i have lost count!  and i know this will keep on repeating as all the projects in hands need consult her for the next stage.  her versions of advice always keep me embarrassed and i feel stupid whenever i deal with other liaising departments, i need to keep on changing my user requirements.  i'm leading the developer team to nowhere as i'm wondering around the bushes, trying to figure out the versions of advice given by my boss.  in the end, i get 'you've got me wrong'!

*STUPID*

酒鬼老公

hubby has got so many nicknames for his drinks.

1. beer = blonde chick
2. bailey's + ice = sexy rabbit
3. ribena + vodka = bloody dracula

to be as creative as him, i created one for my drink.
*choya + ice = old geisha*

hahahahaha...

FATTY ANGRY BIRD

hubby is very good in imitating the expression of the angry bird.  so i always call him 'angry bird' and he has got so used to it that he will answer me every time i call him that.

just now he started a conversation that got me burst out laughing loud.

hubby: 老婆啊老婆, 我發覺到一件事... 我覺得我越來越似angry bird  :(

me: 哈哈哈哈哈!!!

主你是我力量

it's a sunday morning and i suppose to be in bed still.  woke up at 900, got myself washed up and did some cleaning up in the kitchen.  without me noticing, i started humming a song, didn't know what a song it was.  after a while, i realised it was a worship song i heard it on a TV show that i watched yesterday.

i can't describe how amazing the moment when i realised i was singing a worship song in the early morning, the first thing in the morning.  i've never done this before and i never know it could be so so amazing and touching.  Praise the Lord!

logged in FB, tried to catch up the latest news and gossips, especially good news on newborn babies.  there're a lot lately but i never get enough of baby photos  *cute cute*

it wasn't a good news...  a friend was depressed over 'something', i always afraid of asking what is that 'something' that always bothers her.  i think it's not so nice to keep asking her about something that she wanted so much to let go.  everytime, i react passively over her similar posts and comments.

she's a devoted buddhist and i never talk about God and Jesus in front of her.  but this time, i dedicated 2 worship songs to her via FB.  i'm not trying to 傳福音, i've experienced emotional healing through worship songs, i just wanted her to feel safe and secure after listening to the songs.  i hope she'll feel the same that i felt, i hope she'll be healed as i've been healed.  Praise the Lord!

Dear Father,

Thank you for the enlightenment that You bring to me this morning.  Thank you for once again making me realise how beautiful it is to worship you, o'God.  It is amazing that You put all notes and lyrics in my mind, as I never sing a Chinese worship song without lyrics with me.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, o'God for the joy that You give me this morning, in fact, everyday!  Praise the Lord!

Lord, I want to ask for Your blessing to be upon my best friend - Loh Wai Yee, may You fill her heart with comfort, security and words of wisdom.  o'God, she is emotionally depressed, no matter what makes her depressed, o'God, please lay Your healing power upon her, o'God.  I pray, I pray, I pray, o'God, that You set her free from her prison, that You show her ways to the real happiness, that You bless herself and her family to go through the hard days in unity.

I pray, I pray, I pray, in Jesus name, Amen.

Praise the Lord!







MY 1ST TIME @ COLUMBIA ASIA

after changing the appointment for the third time, finally the day for my gynae checkup has arrived.  my appointment time was set at 1500 but when it came to my turn, it was almost 1630 and the consultation took about 20 mins.

i'm quite comfortable with the doctor and i think i can entrust her to take care of me throughout my pregnancy.  she's a pretty straight-forward doctor, you could name it as commercial.  i think she's experienced enough and knows the best way to handle a first time patient like me, who is doing her the first prenatal checkup.

as expected, some questions on family history, abdominal scan, pap smear and prescription of folic acid were done.  the best thing was her acknowledgement that i'm ready to conceive.  all hubby and i need to do is relax, wait for the pre-ovulation (probably the 12th - 18th day from the last menstruation day) and do the 'activity' on an alternate day to increase the chance of getting the sperm to the ovum.

we've missed this month, gotta work harder the next month.  relax...  relax...

i'm planning for a daily dietary.  share with you once it's out.  before sharing the dietary, let me share with you the way columbia asia charges its patients.

first time patient:
registration: RM5.00 (for first time patient)
consultation: RM120.00
medical supplies: RM3.00 (equipment used for pap smear test)
laboratory: RM48.00 (pap smear test)
equipment charges: RM45.00 (scanner)
pharmacy: RM7.50 (folic acid 5mg x 30 tablets)
total bill: RM228.50

i think the bill should be quite standard for private hospitals.  mummies out there, is it?

ANGEL

i'm starting to explore into spanish songs.  this is my start of it, nice...  my angel is you.





IT'S A NEGATIVE

i've been feeling uncomfortable this lately, basically i've been experiencing symptoms of pregnancy.  after taking an online pregnancy test recommended by a friend, i think i should take a pregnancy test.

it's a negative when i took it this morning.  and i had a mixed feeling - i hope to be pregnant but at the same time i felt relief when it showed a negative result.  haiyo...  what is happening with me-leh?  can't understand...

try harder next month-lah...  努力する!!! 努力する!!! (努力!!! 努力!!!)
