Weekend Started in Bad Mood

I was extremely tired of my work for the week. And here come Friday; I stayed a bit late in office to complete the tasks. When the time I back home, I was exhausted, so went to bed earlier. I was about to fall sleep... Suddenly.. bang.. bang... oh no.. house mates slamming the door again.. I was awaken, heart beating fast.. anxiously.. dragging myself.. I was too tired to be awake, but can not have a peace night for sleep, the disturbing noise last for quite some time. I not able to calm down, the noise too irritating, I felt like my heart will explode at anytime, as it was beating too fast... I felt so miserable.. crying in the dark... I don't know when it will stop; I don't understand why they need such a strong force to close the door... I don't know how I manage to survive after so many years... I burned the aromatherapy lamp beside my bed, the lavender fragrant calm me down... fall sleep.. The next day morning, wake up with dizziness and headache. Not feel like want t...

Japanese Style Casual Restaurant - Kirishima

A friend came to Penang from KL. As he stayed in Cititel, so we met up and having dinner at the Japanese restaurant of the hotel. I never been there, but heard the comments from others, said the food there is superb and the price is costly too. :P So many things that looks very yummy from the menu. While waiting for our set meal, we had some sushi and light snack first. :P The set meal portion is very large, but I managed to finish the serving, it is very delicious and I had enjoyed the meal very much. The meal cost RM138++, expensive but worth to try. ;) The food here is much nicer that those I had tried before. Yeah, my friend did tell the truth, this is one of the best Japanese restaurants. Kirishima deep fried potato cake unagi roll unagi set meal - the portion is big, but I manage to finish all. :P shashimi set meal

Coordination not in Place

I was wasted my time and effort, doing something that I knew it will be obsolete. Before I started the procedure, I asked for clarification from boss, due to document not reflected the new process yet, so follow previous step first. Sigh.. the document had been gone thru the review, but at that time, the key personnel did not give any feedback, they are the contact person that deal with the other party and have most of the detail of new process. When I wanted to implement the procedure, the document is updating, but for mean time, I have to follow previous steps first.. crap! crap! crap!!! I am wasting my time to perform the task that is going to be void, while waiting for them to give me updated guideline at very last minutes. Ya ya.. Manager’s time is precious; engineer's time can be wasted. This new process has been planned few months back, and expected to be implement at this project release. I was surprised that the date committed to each party is not sync. Party A plan for th...

Relaxing SPA

Sunday morning, good weather. I slept tight. This could be an amazing thing for me, who always suffer from sleeping problem. :P I had an appointment for SPA treatment, at Lucy Belle , E-Gate. I bought a voucher during July, when they had road show at New World Park. The voucher cost RM99, it is buy 1 free 3 treatment course. I choose to have body brush (massage), spa bath (jacuzzi), hot back and head spa. The normal price for all the treatment that I had for the day cost RM460!!! wahaha... I am so lucky!!!! The treatment started with muscle relief (松筋), the masseur told me most of the massage treatment will skip this part. If it is skipped, you might feel some pain after massage. The lady masseur very strong, but I felt very comfortable with the strength she put on me. :D Just nice with correct tactic and method. I had head spa (头刮) too, it helps to circulate blood of head, she used some tools to scratch my head. Then I went to spa bath. It is a mini jacuzzi bath tub. It is in a bath ...

Missing

Something is missing. Could it be I lost interest in my job? Could it be I was too too busy for past few weeks. Could it because of someone? Could it be my sleepless night that cause me so moody? Alone at home this weekend, I am hugging my bear bear, and feel missing... miserable.. :'(

At a Click of Finger

Feel so frustrated!!!! Boss thought all tasks can be done in just a finger click. For him, of course can be done. All he has to do is, write a sentence, send the mail to delegate the tasks. :( So, I need to be brilliant enough to interpret that one line sentence instruction. I think I am stupid, cause most of the time I can not get the clue what to do. The delegation info is too brief for us to understand task. :( If want to personally ask him, if you lucky enough, you will be able to catch him immediately to get further detail, else, you might need to wait for hours. Sick of waiting, sick of lacking info, sick of lots task pending. I already started the task at the first moment I got the list, and today, he sounds pathetic and asked, how come the submission not done yet? almost a week, since Monday. Adoi.. I got the list from him on Wednesday, don't know he purposely forgot the date or what? !@#$%^& I am very hurt, when the boss underestimate my capability, I am working very ...

Penang Bridge International Marathon

Mission Accomplished.. YEAH~~ I had participated in 25KM half marathon. I completed the run in 3 hours 45 minutes, although it was exceeding the 3.5 hours set by organizer, but I still get my certificate and medal. hehehe... certificate and medal I woke up before 3am, get prepared, be in registration counter at around 4am. The road to the starting point, Queensbay had been block. I parked my car to the nearest road block, and walked for 10 minutes to Queensbay, treat it as warm up before actual run. :D My category started at 5am. The participants of this year was much lesser than last year, or most of the people joined 10KM fun run? I ran for half way, until the checking point at Butterworth toll plaza, after made a U turn, I not manage to run anymore, but walked along the way back to ending point, at Queensbay again. I was surprised my stamina can cope for longer run compare to last year. hahaha.. yo.. keep it up!!! My muscles not feel, but the blister on my right foot is hurt. :( Hop...

Buffet Lunch at E&O

I had a buffet lunch at E&O Hotel , at their Sarkies Corner coffee shop. We reached there earlier, snapshot some photos before lunch time. :D I like the cozy environment there. Of course, I like the food there too. :P cozy surrounding @ E&O Hotel enjoy the sea breeze pondering... They served chicken herbal soup on the day. Wow, the smell and taste of the herb really good. I love their dessert. I took the photos of the dessert, before anyone touch it. By look at it, I can feel the taste will be very nice. :) We ate slowly, from 12 noon, stayed still 1.45pm. Try every single dishes? No lo, took a bite of each dish, but still not able to try all them, too full. There are lots of variety of food, and they serve quite a number of seafood. I like their teppanyaki, especially those fish that grill with minimum seasoning. yum.. yum.. Dessert time!!! oh.. the chocolate cake was just nice, not too sweet, the chocolaty mixing well with the cream. Fat??? well, I will think about it later. ...

Thoughts of my Career

I already lost my target in working life. Nowadays, working is merely my responsibility. I have to commit the tasks that assigned to me. I do not have passion to go further advance. I was not like this few years back. I had career vision, I knew what I want to achieve, I set the target and work hard and smart toward my objective. Well, that was the past. Now, I lost my motivation, I can not do what I plan to do. At the end of the year, we will have review session with boss, to evaluate the performance of the year, and planning for coming year. For me, the planning still pending as a plan. How come so difficult for me to implement those task? Am I not efficient? Or am I too efficient and need to take up more responsibilities? My interest is to involve myself to explore deeper to my domain knowledge, so that I can know how to improve my current working process, make it better, make it more productive. I am very tired of my daily routine. It is repeated exercises. Attend more meetings, e...

Friday Working Freak!!!

I awoke at 4++ am, tried to get back to sleep again, but failed. :( Since I have so many pending tasks, I login to company network and start my work of the day. It is Friday, and I start my work in such an early hour. :(( If only I can get off earlier today (cross my fingers). Last night, I continue my work from home after back from office, till 11.30pm. Boss is not around this week. I can eat snake?? No way... I have tasks to be completed, and some more, need to follow up those tasks of my boss while he is not around... pity me.. TOO LOADED, in term of workload, but not income... sigh.. Sky getting bright outside, time to wash-up and go to office. I know it is still very early, but I really have too many things to do. Next few weeks will be very busy for me too, as the project going to due. I NEED A BREAK.. I NEED HOLIDAY....

Valuable Time with Friends

Meeting up with some school mates today. I felt very glad to meet them. We seldom have such gathering since we left school or university. We paid a visit to a friend, who going to be a mother very soon. She is expecting the baby by next week. We had chit chatting for couple of hours. A friend brought her son together, if he was not making noise, I think our girls' talk will not end so soon. :P The next stop was Bukit Genting. Ya.. A nice and cozy place to enjoy Thai food. :) We ordered deep fried kangkung, claypot taufu, omelet, green curry, kelabu and tomyam seafood. The meal won't be perfect without dessert... oh.. what a wonderful meal!! I am grateful cause a friend treating us. :D some of the food that we ordered After the dinner, I went to a friend's house, continue chatting, browse photo... It was such a valuable time for me, to hang out with friends that seldom meet up, even all of us working in Penang. Do keep in touch ya.. ;)

Take a break

This had been a very busy week for me. The counterpart from Cheng Du visited Penang office. On top of my busy and ad hoc schedule, I needed to include the sharing session with them. I hardly to have time to take a break. :( Finally is weekend, I went to watch James Bond. If you do not like the previous episode, then I don't think you will like this one. Well, I guess their gadget lab been shutdown... :P No more Bond's gadget in the show. The fighting and chasing scenes quite a lot, from land to sea to air. For me and my friend, we were yawning during the show. You will like it, if you like action movie with lots of fighting scenes. The desktop in M's office is very impressive. The desktop is the desk, no mouse, use fingers to click and drag the icon or file. If wanna share on wider screen, can even drag to the monitor on the wall. Wow... so cool. :D I think one dialogue is missing in the show: "I am Bond, James Bond." I did not hear it in the show, or I missed i...

无辜小熊

无辜小熊,加入了我的抱抱家族。嘻嘻。。。 无辜小熊 我的床边,有大大小小的枕头或抱枕,或小熊。刚刚又添了个无辜小熊。 抱着软绵绵的小熊。。。 让寂寞时的我,有个人在陪伴着。 让冰冷的时候,也可以感到温暖。 当高兴的时候,可以对着它笑笑。 当悲伤的时候,可以抱着它哭泣。 当无聊的时候,可以对它发个愣。

WeekEND

This is a tiring weekend for me. I am not going to write too much of it, but will post some photos. sunset @ Gurney Having dinner at Taiwan Fast Food Restaurant, LG floor @ Gurney Plaza lamp decor the food, must try their beef noodles - the set come with drink and dessert Sunday morning, I went to Tzu Chi Charity Food Fair, held at Tapak Pesta. Wow.. so crowded, I tried very hard to get a car park, but have to walk some distance to get to the place. This year, they do not provide the take away packing bag, so, we have to bring our own container. This is to align with their recycle and environmental friendly theme. It was so hot and crowded. Tzu Chi Charity Food Fair

Back To School!!!

Yeah.. That was the theme of my company Dinner & Dance this year. The dinner was held at Bayview Beach Resort at Batu Ferrighi. Well, I was not wearing anything like student or teacher, but just to make myself to look young. Erm.. I do not need much effort for me to look young, right? I AM STILL YOUNG!!! hahaa... The foyer of the ballroom had photo corner, which was the study corner of kindergarten. :D The committees were so thoughtful, they prepared some old school time's games and the junk food for us. Good effort for us to remind us of our old time. ;) kid's corner games junk food There were quite a number of colleagues wearing like in school time. Most of them transformed themselves as student. Japanese student's costume is the most popular; I guess it is more fashionable. Besides student, we had scout, navy, teacher.... The dinner started with a film, starring by committees member, which brought us back to school time, the study, puppy love, ambitious to be eng...

回避眼前的离别

离人 - 林志炫 银色小船摇摇晃晃弯弯 悬在绒绒的天上 你的心事三三俩俩蓝蓝 停在我幽幽心上 你说情到深处人怎能不孤独 爱到浓时就牵肠挂肚 我的行李孤孤单单散散惹惆怅 离人放逐到边界 彷佛走入第五个季节 昼夜乱了和谐 潮泛任性涨退 字典里没春天 离人挥霍著眼泪 回避还在眼前的离别 你不敢想明天 我不肯说再见 有人说一次告别 天上就会有颗星又熄灭 银色小船摇摇晃晃弯弯 悬在绒绒的天上 你的心事三三俩俩蓝蓝 停在我幽幽心上 你说情到深处人怎能不孤独 爱到浓时就牵肠挂肚 我的行李孤孤单单散散惹惆怅 离人放逐到边界 彷佛走入第五个季节 昼夜乱了和谐 潮泛任性涨退 字典里没春天 离人挥霍著眼泪 回避还在眼前的离别 你不敢想明天 我不肯说再见 有人说一次告别 天上就会有颗星又熄灭
