back at kl

Stayed in my hometown for 3 days. Non stop eating in every 2 hours and feeling bored all the time. By saturday evening I was bored to death. I was screaming from my brain by 8pm on saturday, I constantly whining how BORED I AM but My parents non stop watching Korea drama series from day to night. It was unbelieveable as I never expect my mom will turn to drama addict now. I do think she should focus on her hobby rather focus on watching tv all day long. Yet, she claim she is busy with housework.hmmmmm, this is so wrong.

Due to boredom and nothing to do at my hometown, I slept at 10pm. This is a record for me as I never sleep for early unless I am SICK!! Man, I am more as city person rather than town person. I'm glad to be in KL city now.!!

My dad is getting better as he is walking slowly but he is getting old. I do think his leg will remain fragile as he aged. On 2007, he was healthy and fit. Just 1 fall from the ladder, his health plummet down and he start to get heart attacks several times within 1 year. It is miracle that he can still walk and eat by himself. I just hope he will one day able to talk well again as he still slur in his speech after the heart attacks. This time of my visit, he is not agitated and feeling calmer. He don't get piss off and threathen ppl out of frustration and. anger.

Came back at 2.30pm on sunday

on Leave

Yeah!! I'm on leave tomorrow and going back to hometown. It have so long since CNY, that I went back home. I feel like my childhood home is getting smaller and smaller each time I goes back home. I wondering it is due to expansion on my waist line. :P

I feel quite tired and not spending much time with my parents. I'm wondering what can cook for them during the 3 days. I told A that I wish to cook this and that for my parents, he just laugh as he feel I talk a lot of wanting to cook this and that all the time but in the end...my lazy ass won't move an inch and laze around like a pig. Which I will deny that I'm quite lazy bum 90% of the time.

weekly pass time

Lately was super busy with workload as need to QC data, interact with colleagues in KL and overseas offices, facilitate on new requests from left and right, interviewing candidates, help on team members performance and having meetings with boss, other teams and own team.

It is surely hectic and plenty of outstanding tasks still remain untouch. After written this down, I realised that I have been work quite a lot but it seem quite not enough.

It is now 1.30 am yet I still not tired in this humid condition. Surely is hard to sleep with such weather. Even I have air-con, but I do not intend to use it as I might constantly use as time passes by. I rather get use the humidity now.

Some ppl really can sleep so easily, I wonder they can do that.

greener pasture

It is time to move to new office from 14/F to 11/F. So many people do not wish to move, therefore my team need to sacrifice and move down. All the team are protect and defended by their own leade, yet my team is isolated.

My MD asked to choose who I pick to be under and decide move on the greener path as I feel so tired in arguing with R all the time. It has been 10 years where I have worked with him, yet he dont provide any postive results for the team.
R always take care of his own interest and always ignore his team growth. That's why the team remain the same since the day 1. I feel frustrated as each time I try to do some postive changes. He constantly halt my growth as he fear his own career in danger.

Old Generation

In recent years, found younger generation mindset are different from the older generation. Based on the dream job they wish to have is different.

During my parents time, they just glad if they have job to provide food on the table to their family members daily. My parents time, they have hardship since birth till they have us.

My mom childhood time:
1) Rear chickens at below of her rent kampung house to get eggs and sell chickens so that she have money to feed her siblings
2) Iron other peoples to pay her school fees, and interesting part is last time no electric iron, only charcoal iron where it is not easy with such heavy old antic iron. The money goes to pay her and her siblings school fees.
3) Wake up in the early morning before everyone wake up to boil water and cook 3 meals a day for her 9 family members. As my grandpa need to find a job daily and it is not easily to find a decent job. Getting any job is a blessing.

My dad childhood time:
1) My grandma passed away when my dad was only 6 years old - during WWII where my grandma try to escape from the japs
2) Motherless and no love from his step mom, he always need to search for his daily food from the jungles. whatever he able to find and edible at very young age. Sometimes, he will follow the father/pasters from the churches to get food.
3) No money to buy clothes and shoes for himself as his dad is always aways from home and his stepmom disallow him to eat anything from home and no money provided to him. He has no money to buy a decent shoes/slipper. Once, she hit my dad with a piece of wood with a nail till his eyes bleed and his eye sight has been bad since then
4) Always go hunger as when he unable to convince the food stall owner that he will pay in monthly basis time to time when he get his salary.

My parents never complain about their hardship, yet they work so hard to provide us whatever we needs/wants so that we will not go through what they have gone through. I have to admit that sometime I never appreciate what they have done for me as human always never thought of others' hardship till they face it themselves.

As people grow older, you will need to sit down and think on what others and your parents have done for you. Try to appreciate them by treating them back nice and care. I dont think they want money in return based on what they have given us. They will be proud of us if we able to take care of ourselve well and love them back in return on what they have done for us.

I'm not good daughter as I should be. Do hope I will change to be a better person so that I able to give back what my parents has done for me and thanking them in proper by giving them my attention onto them. When parents are old, they dont demand much as they just want their children to love them as much they love their children.  What is the use of arguing and fighting all the time with your parents all the time as life too short. How long your parent will be there for you? A question should be pop time to time to remind oneself how precious time is. Time flies very fast! act, dont whine.

Decision on who to pick in the company

It is monday again. After my MD asked me to make the decision on who I shall pick. Well, I know who I will pick already. I just pray I will able to work with him better than my old boss who try to attack me for 10 years.

Praying all the time, Please do pray for me too. AMEN!!
