Obama

I don't know why, I don't know what's wrong, I only know that I'm excited, excited Obama became the first African-American president in U.S. I don't know why am I excited? Why am I searching high and low, or shall I say, I'm following his news ever since he won in the election. Obama, the African-American Makes History, Obama gets down to work after historic day, Obama and Michelle dance during the Southern Ball in Washington, Obama this and Obama that.....and bla bla..even he is not our country's president.

Majority people have high expectation on Obama, hoping him will fulfill the promises he promised. While some of them, doubt with his leadership, wonder what can he change? Well, I think everybody deserve for a chance, before a person become an expert, he/she once was a learner as well, as green as the field in the farm. Yes, maybe he is inexperienced, he has a lot of issues to handle and he is in the world of peril. With the current situation, no harm to give him a chance to try, he may success to solve all the problems, or he may fail. No one know, only him, the God will know. And most all the issues that needed his attention, unable to resolve in a day, or short term. So I think is unfair to judge or doubt with his leadership at this moment.

To me, I'm excited to know how will his leadership will go, how he solve the issues, and where will he lead the US, at this moment, I'm excited, and I have high hope on him, I believe he can make it, he has my full support, I do hope some miracle will happen in his leadership. He is my idol at this moment.

However, too much expectation on Obama, where I think is unhealthy. Too much tension, stress, is not healthy. Should give his some space, some period to proof himself. After a certain period, then we can judge whether he is doing a good job or not.

Whatever and however, I will continue to support Obama, hoping to see all the changes. I believe he can make it :) Maybe God bless him and American will support him, cause he was chosen by them. Obama, ganbatte ne!!

Someone banged my car and runaway/ndevo

9.15pm, I received a call from Andy. He told he had bad news to tell me. I wondered what was that? Friendly speaking, I don't like or shall I say, I'm scare of bad news. He told me someone banged our car, on the front right side and runawayyyyyyy....

Arggg...Due to AD, we spent a lot of money, haven't recovered from the financial pain, then Christmas came...So many things need to buy. Thought after Christmas, can have some break...whose know, Chinese New Year (CNY) on the way!! CNY need to spend more than Christmas...we are still struggling for the "angpow" budget, here we got another bad news. Someone banged our car and runaway!! We need to look for money again to fix it. But where? Due to economic downturn, that's no increment, no bonus and so on for me. And Andy business is so slow and bad. We are trying very hard and be careful with our expenses, we really need to save for our raining day. Yet, I got this bad news in the evening.

I'm trying very hard to think positive, no increment or bonus is still bearable as the global economic crisis, I should be thankful I still have a job. At least till now, I'm not in the retrenchment list yet. Whatever stuff I need to buy, I think twice, whether is a need or want. I just want to ensure, we spend on the right stuff. We have debts to pay like mortgage, car loan, Andy's business loan, allowance to our parents, our daily expenses and so on.

I really run out of mind and ideas what I shall do!! I don't even dare to go for a local diving trip, even I craving for that, I need a break, I need to dive in the water, I need rejuvenate. But I know I can't...one of the brother told me, God will handle the storm. I'm just unsure how long can we last especially Andy's business.

Andy has rented a shop and run his own business where he learned 7 years from the previous employer. Andy is very creative and some of the items sale in the shop handmade by him. His little shop ndevo arts & crafts where he puts a lot of efforts, passion, avid it will success. He changes the shop display every 2 months, he is try to bring new items to spoil his customer choice, he has very good customer service. Unfortunately, global economic crisis attack in his second year of business. He has not recover or earn any money yet, he is still struggle very hard, still floating and drowning in his business. He has rental, staff salary, bank loan, utilities to pay and so on. He works very hard, early morning he left the house like 8am and reach home 10pm, if that's flea market or bazaar, he will 7 days in a week. Well, I have been praying very hard for him, hoping God will help him out, continue to help him.

1st MC in 2009

I was sick from weekend till today. Had very bad migraine, fever and slight flu.
And I was back to parent's home. I feel so bad, I didn't help my mum anything, I was resting the whole day. My mum did the houseworks.. I feel so bad. Mum also not feeling well, not fit as previously, yet she can do. Why am I so weak? I just couldn't stand with the migraine, is killing me.

Today, I went to clinic to see doctor and got the medication. After medication, I felt much better, but I feel so fatigue...no energy!!

1st MC in 2009. I hope I will recover soon and healthy for thru out the whole year

I need to rant

I'm not sure what's wrong with me, whether I'm too much stress with my work or I'm hormone change where my menses is going to pay me a visit.

But I know, I need to rant...... I think the human surrounding me is driving me crazy.

First case
I need to work on a project with a colleague in oversea. To me she is very nice, very thoughtful, helpful and sweet. BUT when come to work, I just can't believe how rigid she is. I know some of the items we need to standardized but not all the items. Every country has their own requirement. Therefore that's "deviation" need to apply to suit with each country if they can't follow the certain standard. She insist I have to follow "Exactly". I explained to her what's the reasons we can't follow the standard and hoping to apply deviation. Then she was trying so hard to convince and asking for all the unnecessary reason just to support her idea. Other than that, she also requesting me pull those "not useful" report just to support it. I really need to halt it, I feel so irritating. She keep on using her country as a benchmark/standard and require others countries to follow. Where I think this is not the right way. She should have some survey and get all countries to send in their data, then she study it and come out with a standard policy where minimum fulfill each country requirements. Then this is standard policy and everybody can use it. If she claim that have to follow the standard policy, then why in her own country, that's added more policy to suit her country. If is a standard policy where every country have to follow, then shouldn't her country should set as an example to follow straightly rather than amended it?

Second case
Doesn't mean you are not doing the job, you may simply change it and don't consider the person who person the tasks. This is very selfish. My superior wanted us to changed some policy just to comply with the standard policy. I told him, we can't. Not only it doesn't suit with our local requirement, but it also will cause us more works due to the changes. It doesn't fit in the "simplified the works" and "reduce the workload". And most of the things, they only see in front of their foot, not the future. It couldn't be you invest so much in a system, and you only want to use only for 5 years? It should longer than that!!! And is a selfish thinking to proceed with a decision and because it doesn't affect you much and you are not the one who do the tasks. Is wasting of manpower, time, energy and etc. It because I don't do, other people is doing, therefore, it doesn't make any big deal if the workload increase. Actually, whatever decision make, it doesn't affect me, cause I'm just a project manager for this task, I'm not running the tasks.. But I just pity of the team who performing the tasks. Because the wrong decision make, then have to re-do again, is wasting a lot of time, sources and etc.

I really don't understand how they think. Isn't that when we plan a project, it should be look in long term than short term especially it need a big capital to run the project. Need to study the pros and cons, try to work to minimize the cons and avoid rushing making the decision.

Sighhhhhh... Can I reject to be the project manager for this projecttttttttttt!!!!!

Hoping tomorrow will be a better day

Smart Gal

It was the fist day of job in 2009. Not very busy, still manageable.
At night when I was online, I chatted with one of my net friend.
To me, she is very smart, cute and intelligent. Hmmm...you must be wonder why i made such a comments.

She is in earlier 20, married last year to a Singaporean man. Therefore, she needs to leave her lovely family and country to stay with her husband. While chatting, she told me her husband don't like to eat fish, don't like to drink water, always drink cold herbal tea and so on.

To her, husband doesn't like to eat fish is the main concern. As all of us aware, fish has good nutrition and protein. She here is the trick. When they went out for dinner, she will purposely order spicy fish dish. Half way eating, she will claimed she can't finish, due to too spicy. So the husband was indirectly 'force' to finish the food. Isn't that is the smart way rather than request it directly :)

That's another case. Drinking cool herbal tea is not good for health. One day, the mother in law (MIL) boiled herbal tea. She told her MIL that she prefer to have the the herbal tea in room temperature. When she took the herbal tea, she asked her MIL where is her husband's herbal tea? The MIL told her it was in the refrigerator. Immediately she told her MIL the husband would like to have his meal now. It was ten minutes later the herbal tea was store in the refrigerator, therefore the tea is in chill. She will prepared the meal for her husband and got him to drink the herbal tea in chill rather than cool. Isn't that is an intelligent action? It doesn't offend anyone yet still manage to get the objective done.

Hmmm... I should learn from her..Smart wife!! No need to trigger my hot temperature, no need to raise my voice, no offend anyone and reach my objective..

Wish me good luck !!!
