Farewell, my dear colleagues

Time really flies like nobody business...
It was 4 and 1/2 years ago when this senior colleague interviewed me
and offered me the temporary position in Philips.
And before my contract ended, I was offered a permanent contract in
another position but in the same dept.
Oh gosh... But now, this senior colleague who worked for this company
for 34 long years... will be having his last day on 31st Mar 2009.
I still remembered the day I took up the perm job is 1st April 2005.
That was so long ago...
And how ironic that on 1st Apr 2009, he will not be in our dept anymore.
Blame it on the current economic crisis...
Blame it on the manager who decided to make him the "scapegoat"
Blame it on the company policy of cutting cost...
Blame it on .... anything...
Well... I sincerely wish him all the best in his future.
He will enjoyed his life and travelled all around (going to London & Paris in April)
Hopefully, he can take this opportunity to take a long good break...
Thank you Fung Swee for all your guidance and teaching.
I will always remember you for as long as I live...
Au Ming, you will also be leaving...
but you are a very good table tennis player and a friend to have.
Steven, wish you have a "good early retirement" and may you be
healthy and happy always... Enjoy the good break...

Dear colleagues...
I am happy to know you all in this life...
Even though I might be a bit "aggressive and rude" towards you.
But I seriously love all your teaching and sharing of experience.
Take care and keep in touch...
I miss you all...

What a night...

It's Friday...
Yue was asking if I can go for a drink with her tonight...
I told her np but will have to be after the dinner with my colleagues..
Then suddenly around 7plus, my sister sms me that the other younger twin sister
was hospitalised due to low red blood cell.
OMG.... so many things happening...
I still went for dinner with my colleagues at Toa Payoh...
However, they were meeting Roger as well after his night course...
But I have to rush down to hospital to visit my sister before the time is over.
Then I sms Yue that I will go down later after visiting my sister...
When I reached there, I saw a group of people leaving...
I supposed they are my sister's friend or colleagues...
And I was right... haha... cause I asked my sister when I was in her room.
She seem so weak... and fragile.
Haiz... Pray that she will get well soon...

Then I took a taxi to meet Kwok, Yue & April...
They were at Canto Rock Pub drinking and deciding to switch to another Pub nearby.
Then we choose to drink at Archipeglo Pub... just opposite the street.
We were playing poker card (Dai Dee) happily when there was a big "Ang Mo"
who came to sit down without "our invitation".
He seem drunk... and started to talk rubbish when we suggested to play poker with him. As time goes by... he is becoming more and more agressive and all his words is
so vuglar and so rude... Basket... How I wish he can get lost...
Then suddenly, he said many thing which is kind of "sexual harassment" to my female
friends... I kindly asked him to sit another place and we do not want to talk to such
person... He seem unhappy and asked me why so serious etc...
The manager was here trying to invite that Ang Mo (from Scotland which claimed to be)
to settle his bill and leave the place at once..
He tried to push the manager and wanted to throw a punch but he fell over instead
to Kwok lap. I almost wanted to confront him and scold him vuglarity.
If I didnt control my anger and emotion at that time, I will already throw a
punch at him... Zzzzz

I picked up my hp and checked with the manager if I should call the police.
He kindly told me to go ahead... and I dialed 999.
When that Ang Mo saw that "we were serious", he tried to pick his bag and go away.
But he fell down once again... lol.. looking so clusmy and stupid..
Within 5min, the police car arrived.
They took down our statement and my contact just in case they needed me for
assistance. I kindly obliged.
After that, Kwok went home at around 2.15am cause he needed to attend a concert
that very morning... haha...

So we went to K-box for some singing session...
I was sleepy and slept on the seat....
Faint... it was 6am...
Time to go home...
What a night of "happening event"

I hope that Heaven can bless my younger twin sister to recover
and faster discharged from hospital...
May the force and strength be with her...
God bless....

Interactive Quality Town Meeting

The Quality Town Meeting still proceed today even though the big boss
from Holland is not able to make it due to some very serious issue...
The entire day was spend doing the presentation and questions slides...
We do not even have a single rehearsal on the coordination part...
OMG... the manager presentation slides was also passed to use this morning
at 11.30am. The event started at 1.30pm...
Wa piangz... everything was in a rush siah...
As usual, my manager asked to check his own presentation slides so many times
that I guessed he is just so afraid to show the wrong input... haha...
Our first question using the "Electronic Voting Device" was a BIG cock up.
Haha.. cause the audience anyhow pressed the button without hearing the signal
"You may start voting"... and caused the whole system to "crash"
Luckily, we managed to remedy it on the spot in a short time.
As for the rest of the presentation, there was a minor "screwed up"
due to the lacking of coordination with the manager... haha
The rest of the questions which used the voting device
went quite smoothly...
Cause I was the one who control the presentation and have to
complie the final results of the voting to be shown on the screen immediately.
Phew... so happy and glad that it was all over...
Anyway, the whole Town Meeting was quite ok since we do
not have any rehersal at all...
Hope for the next Town Meeting, please do not ask me to do the
presentation because it should be the turn for other commitee member liao...
Haha... God bless... ^^

Big Boss Not Coming...

Yes... Haha...received email that the Quality big boss (from Holland)
had cancelled his trip to Singapore due to some unforeseen circumstances.
At least, the presentation will be less stressful
Especially after the assurance from our own Dept Quality Manager that
he does not want it to be "Perfect" and just a simple one will do....
yippee.... hooray....
And he almost want to say the 7-letter words "Fxxxxxx"...
such as... That big boss is "Fxxxxxxx" getting on my nerves
Which he didnt mentioned it... as he "paused" his statement
in front of the organising committee... haha ... it was pretty cool...
Well... feeling more peace and happier after the short discussion...keke
It's just put a bigger smile on my face... =D

Be Inspired & Be Grateful

I feel ashamed and gulity of myself after watching this video.
A man without limbs can be so positive and determined in life...
Yet, I am always feeling so much troubled because of trival little things..
Time for me to wake up, Mr Lim...
Hope all of you can be inspired by this video...
Let all learn something from this person....
God bless =)

Full Moon Night

Just went for a jog after 10.30pm when I reached home from work.
I told myself I must make it under 30min timing tonight...
Guess what... I almost failed... that mean I succeed...
OMG... I stopped almost from the 2nd round onward....
Don't understand how I managed to clock under 30min...
Anyway... maybe it is the full moon tonight keke...
So guess somebody up there listening to my prayer
and helped me to "stop that time" ....
Final timing is 29min 56.02 sec... Gosh...
it was 1min faster than my previous run (on Sunday) haha...
I must make it under 29min for the next 2 run...
But I must say that the moon is so lovely and I saw
north star... 3 stars in a line with another 2 stars in between...
It was so beautiful....
And I also saw one of the star shinning so brightly...
At that moment, I make a wish...
Actually I make 3 wishes.. haha.. Greedy me...
Well... Hope it will come true...
Cheers =)

Crystal Jade "New Year Lunch"

Suddenly, remember that last Friday, 6th Feb we have our lunch at
Crystal Jade in Toa Payoh Central.
I was the facilitator for my section this year... Faint
Therefore, whatever people day program, I am representing my section...
OMG... Very suay... haha
Anyway, our boss decide to treat us FOC.
It was agreed initially that he foot 50% of the bills and
the rest will be spilt equally among us...
Well, the food is quite good in my view except
that there was no air con halfway through the lunch...
and the waiting time for our food took 45min... faint...
We were one of the earliest batch of customers but they served
the food to other first... Sianz...
Anyway, it was good to have a lunch together as a section.
*By the way, my leader did not come as he was on his final 3rd week
of hospitalisation leave... Really know how to "geng" haha
