Time of change
Many changes are coming into my life.. As a summary, lately I had been busy with a few things:
1. Moving "house".. I should say moving office, from a small partition into my own room! Since my colleague is leaving is leaving for KL.. So as the "most senior" executive in my unit, I shall take over his room :) anyway, a new guy is coming.. and it has been the gossip topic ever since 1 week ago.. nobody knows where this new dude is from.. only knows he is from Sarawak (heck, Sarawak is a very big place).. and so, I also have to empty my space and my comp so that I can hand over to him on Monday.. I also had a lot of things to take over from the senior.. Actually those tasks he should have handed over to me when I first came in (he said so himself).. but due to I am too new that time, so now is better.. :D
2. Organising a farewell dinner for the senior.. I had been given the task as mentioned.. Since he had been a good friend, so I have decided to have a big one for him.. (even though some suggested places like hartz chicken, I dont think it is rather appropriate la..) so now I had to go to survery, get the price, collect money, make arrangements, confirm the order, etc..)
3. Thinking of how to divide the workload between my boss, myself and the new guy.. so that I may suggest to my boss.. unlike the old times, now I am the senior, so many things I have to start to take care.. I would very much like to ensure I do not have to go for the USP project anymore, as it is too much burden if I have to handle it together with the other major contracts.. not to mention if I handle it, I would have to go on lots of travelling also..
4. Assignments, projects.. assignments, projects... ouch! donno why the lecturers like to give those things when the sem is coming to a close.. pls la.. let ppl have a break ok? and unlike the rest.. my class' ppl are all working adults.. so work comes first ok? if really like to give so much work, at least make the sem longer la.. now we are using 3sem-a-year style.. which is not very fair.. ouch!

Does Management really know their Staffs? (Prim3: I do :P )
On walking into the factory, the MD noticed a youngboy leaning against the wall, doing nothing.
He approached the young man and calmly said to him,How much do you earn?"
The young man was quite amazed that he was asked such a personal question, he replied, none the less, "I earn $ 2 000.00 a month, Sir. Why?"
Without answering, the MD took out his wallet and removed $ 6000.00 cash then gave it to the young man and said:"Around here I pay people for working, not for standing around looking pretty! Here is 3 months 'salary', now GET OUT and don't come back".
The young man turned around and was quickly out of sight. Noticing a Few onlookers, the MD said in a very upset manner:"And that applies for everybody in this company".
He approached one of the onlookers and asked him,"Who's the young man that I just fired?" To which an amazing reply came of, "He was the pizza delivery man, Sir...!!!"He surprises... and walk away!!

Disappeared most of the time..
From Sunday 4 March 2007 until Thursday 15 March 2007, I had only been in Kuching for less than 1 day.. haha.. reason? I had to attend two training courses.. The first one is in Cameron Highlands at a TM resort. What is a TM resort? it's a resort specially built for TM staffs. There are many TM resorts around Malaysia: Penang, Cameron, Port Dickson, Fraser Hill, and Sabah. There used to be a TM resort in Kuching too.. But I heard the building very old, and so maybe it had been disqualified.
The Cameron Highlands course lasted one week and it was a continuation of the one in Penang, mainly about hardware and software maintenance of DEMS. During the course, I did went shopping.. haha.. bought many things.. tea, strawberry, strawberry juice concentrate, bookmarks, mata kucing, Cameron apples, etc.. wow.. it's the first time I did so much shopping.. haha.. but to tell the truth.. there were many places I had yet to go there.. including Bee farm, butterfly farm, strawberry farm, etc.. and in the strawberry farm, you actually get to pluck ur own strawberries and buy from them.. haha.. I did try something called water crest juice.. not bad.. it's a health drink btw.. The weather at Cameron is very cool.. much colder than in Genting.. and the air is very fresh.. this is the kind of environment every place should have.. instead of the hot air we get everyday.. -.-" i did take photos of the place and the things I bought.. will upload soon..
THe next course is in Multimedia College in KL. Nothing much to talk about here.. as usual anyway, the place is horrible.. the hostel is dirty.. if anyone stay there for one night.. i m sure they will complain.. and another thing is the toilets are shared.. so people had to go out and take their bath.. talk about that.. and I dare not go to their toilet.. if I got any business, big or small, I will just go downstairs where there's a very nice and clean toilet just beside the big lecture hall.. haha.. enough of the hostel, now for the food.. as expected, lots of hot stuff.. and dont know when did they changed cater.. the food is like.. haha.. I cant believe I actually put those things into my stomache.. oh well, I guess life's like that.. I cant expect to have good stuff when going to a place like that.. hope that's the last time I have to go there for a very long while!!!
I thought of going for the "Eye of Malaysia" (the big ferriswheel) while in MMC.. it's just nearby.. but the few times I wanted to go there.. the weather is like in a desert.. so had to cancel the thoughts.. many chance to go there next time anyway..

大家庭PART9
这次的大家庭系列，分为小弟和大老两部分。大老指的是：老大、老二和老三三人。
话说在过年期间，发生了一单命案。在美里有一位叫比得的小弟。他生前可说是大家庭里最能干的小弟。一直以来，有什么事情都是他一手搞定。可能因为这样，大家都很依赖他。大事小事，老大老二整天都叫他飞来飞去，忙个不停。很可惜，太被依赖，反而害了他。在一次的公干时，他忽然倒了。和他一起的同事送他到诊疗所途中，不幸去世了。虽然真正的原因不明，但应该是心脏病吧。因为这样，大老们失去了他们最可靠的人。大家庭可能因此要走下坡了！其他的小弟平时只会求助。你们太可恶了！！现在你们想求也不能了！！
说完小弟的事，论到大老们了。自从老三进入大家庭，他已经知道老二是个野心大的人。因为从第一天开始，老二就暗示他想离开大家庭，因为他想当老大。但因为这里的老大还年轻，他唯一能当老大的机会就只有到别的大家庭。老三的到来让他有机会离开。好吧，过了一年半。离开的时刻终于来了！老二收到了一个好offer。他终于能够提升自己的职位！但却得到吉隆坡！老二平时很讨厌那里的啊！本来以为他一定不接受。哪知？他竟然接受！！怎么可能？？只短短的一年半，老三还没从你身上学会全部啊！难道你就这样走了？五月一号，老二便要离开了。老三想想，只有两种感觉。
（一）有点恐惧。因为他不知日后能否应付得来。但这恐惧感很快便过去了。因为他认为，老二起初来时，也只有他和老大，那他又能应付？老三绝不输老二！他肯定能更胜一城楼！！
（二）有点伤心。毕竟老二是老三在大家庭里感情最好的朋友。可能因为年龄最近是他们吧。而且老二也教会了老三许多。突然要走，难免老三会伤心吧。虽然时日还有一个多月，那种依依不舍的感觉已到来。日后老三将会很寂寞吧。但老三也全心祝福老二，希望他会有个好前程吧。
另外还有一个感觉。那就是老三终于可以拥有他自己的房间了！！！！！ Enough said.. ;)
P/S: 还有，五月一号开始，老三不再是老三，而是老二 ;)
