Chose Life!

My fren’s baby just arrived!!! Yayyyy! Congratulations to both mommy n daddy.. Proud parents of a 3.22kg baby boy, arrived on 21st June 2005, Tuesday 3pm! Sorry i posted this announcement so late; was bz the whole week.. Visited them on wednesday n will b visiting them again tis sunday. =)

I’m not supposed to be working today.. But i am…. My stupid project is facing some problems the past few days and customer still wants it 2 b airlifted to US on MONDAY!!!

I couldnt attend my friend’s wedding this afternoon because of this bloody project! Talk abt bad day..

My colleagues n I were eating lunch in KFC when a half naked man barged in closely followed by a half naked woman.. all the time the lady was shouting, "abang! abang!". The man shrugged her off but she persisted n clug to his pants. He then slapped her on the face n left, wif the woman following; still shouting. At 1st we tot the lady molested the man n she was clinging to him beggin 4 help from us.. But err, on closer inspection, my manager said her eyes were glazed, like she was on drugs.. y else would some1 run ard half naked? (err, we r not exactly living near any beach - the nearest is abt 30-40km away?) The restaurant manager was so frightened tat as soon they left, she locked the main door. Everyone at the restaurant sat with mouth agape.. i was wonderin if i shd call the police; but we all agreed the police wont b bothered with family problems.

My grans now stayin wif us after her eye op. She’s so emotionally dependant on all of us. Everytime we r not ard the house, she’ll be whinning for us. Also, now she’s complaining abt rheumatism on her leg.. She wants us to take her to the doctors’… Errr.. btw, she does her doctor routine every week. doctor says she’s basically as fit as a fiddle, just that she wants our attention by complaining abt slight ailments.. Haiseh.. How come i think the older u get, the more childlike u bcome?

Woah.. So many things happening at once! Early this month, a school mate of mine got married in Klang. Great get-together we had there. Then, news came that one of my church frens is getting married this Saturday. Another colleague of mine the coming Sunday and after a telecon with my long-lost college fren (err, he didnt bother to call me after he started working.. Sheesshhh some fren.) found out that another college fren and ex-housemate is getting married in October. Further along the long list is my ex-colleague whom I’m close with; has gotten hitched; but would be having the wedding ceremony in M’cca in November. Walau!! And someone told me this year is a bad year to get married? Ok, that’s 5 weddings in 6 months! My pockets are badly burned now. So many angpows 2 give!

Then of course, the joyest occasion of all, one of my good frens is giving birth soon… To a baby boy! Doctor says she needs lotsa rest coz the baby would be two weeks early and she is having slight contractions. I’m eagerly waiting for an addition to our small group. Already we have a cute little girl (my god-daughter!) and now another small one. Hehehe. I would be praying for a safe delivery for both mother and child. Anyone wanna join me in prayer? Pls feel free to do so.

It’s another day of marathon driving… 66 km to day after work. Rushing up and down like a lunatic. My colleague says I’m crazy n tat i drove like a mad woman. Yeah rite. He could only manage that distance in 45 minutes whereas I manage it in 40 minutes. That 5 minutes of difference makes me a careless driver in his eyes. Sheesshh, I think his car’s gotta go for service. Either that, or he drives like a woman (err, no offence to all you gals out there.. I’m a woman too. And I drive like a woman *winks*). The distance is killing (pun intended)… my concentration in class. During the drive back, i usually escape to la la land, occasionally coming back to earth when some headlights at the back flashes. Hehehe, i hog the fast lane. Ok, terrible driver me.

Class was hectic as usual. Cant differentiate the nai, ta, masu form.. Argghh. Feel kinda embarrased coz most of the students are younger than me. But hey, at least I’m not the oldest there. There’s 2 gals there who r 5 years my senior.

Age is not a factor.. Its just a number that increases with your wrinkles. Whahahah. I must motto renshu shimasu. Jya, matta aite desyo.

Thanks so much for all who’d called me, msgd me to give me encouragement. Its great to have so many caring frens. =)

I guess I really lost it, ya? But hey, my colleagues now know that i’m no pushover.

Just emailed the final touches to the stupid project that caused me so much headache. My colleague at US (the one who got scolded) was quite cool abt my comments and he even consoled me; knowing how pressured i was. But he did add sayin that if the final changes are still not satisfying the customer; I’d to fly over there to talk to the big shots (hint some sarcasm here).. Yeah rite! They pay for my airfare and i wouldnt mind going there giving the customers a piece of my mind.

Yup, just been too emotional.. tat stupid project has just been too long.. Luckily the final touches were today.. Plus, the whole *darn* thing needs to be fabricated, tested and inspected by 3rd party ppl, and shipped out by air b4 the end of three weeks.. Sheesh… tat leaves us very little time to play abt.. plus, its a new design n for a special hazardous environment..

Now this baby is passed from my hands to production.. It’s their headache now. Hehe. Err, occasionally my headache too cause they’ll still call me down if there’s design problems. This darn thing is a new design to operate in a hazardous environment. Sigh. Pressure pressure.

Sigh.. i need a life.. but nvm, life is currently back to its normal swing.. I can take it now.. =) on the plus point, my director is not ard for the week.. Hehehehhehehe…. *evil laugh*
Thanks for your encouragements.. Appreciate it very much.

I got so angry today that I sent a sarcastic email to my boss and some overseas colleagues. Ok, not the wisest thing to do… I know.. I just got home; tired, hungry and frustrated.. Not to mention I earned a lecture from my boss due to my aforementioned deed. Those people are just so stupid! They hand us information bit by bit and then demands us to finish the amendments the same day! It’s been too long… I’m tired of doing the same project different small changes everyday!!!

Sigh… My boss told me that everyone had worked extremely hard for this project and that I shouldnt get emotional over it. He’s got a point there.. I guess I blew my top and now I’m a bit guilty coz I accused my colleagues of not doing their job properly. Too much effort has been put into this and I spoilt it by rousing everyone’s anger. Well, rightfully said..  I didnt have the patience I so desperately need. My temper has been on short fuse. Plus, my colleagues over in US would probably take my sarcastic comments and throw it back to my face.. Sheesh..

Life’s tough.. But I’m learning patience and endurance from the lessons God teaches me. This morning I was called by my boss to oversee another section that has new inexperienced vessel engineers… Extra workload… Not pleased. But he did say that I should feel honoured that my experties were so valuable to the company. Hehehe.. that made me feel a little happier. But it still didnt lessen my workload.. Sigh… I demand higher pay!!!!
