Retrenchment letter to home?

Just heard that a guy in kulim received retrenchment letter in home. Well, i dont think thats the appropriate way to inform the employee for such news. One of my senior said he felt no problem with that and said thats only my personal view... hmm.... is it? I dont think everyone is really want family know about their retrenchment (for whatever reason they have). Giving the letter in office at least leave the employees a choice to decide whether they want to inform the news to their family. Anyway, thats only my personal opinion.

Pulau Ketam gathering -> disappointingly dropped

This is the third time i organize my ex-coursemates gathering. Well, its not that i like to do it but because nobody else willing to take the responsibility. This activity is used to organize by me, yuanwen, kangboon and seowli. However, the participation rate is always low. The first SCC gathering was succeed with 7 participants, 2nd one is better, with 13 participants. This round is a bit bad because with only 7 participants, few of them felt want to pull out. With no choice i think this year the gathering will most probably be canceled. Its quite disappointing actually. I wonder that how long this activity can survive as most of the people treat this event with very low priority. Seowli is furious last night and told me that she doesnt want to do it again in future. Sigh....

First half performance report

I got my first half year 2006 performance feedback last friday. Surprisingly my feedbacks are good and all are positive. There are 2 things that i need to focus and improve :- my presentation skill and be more proactive. Thats thrue that my presentation skill is sucks. I cant really express well in English. About proactiveness.... hmm... i admit that i am not aggressive enough. Anyway, I was really happy with the report :)

What happened in Weekend?

I shocked when i open my blog today. It had been 3 days i didnt update it... hmmm ... was that long? i remembered is only 2 days.. Am i losing my memory again? .. :(

Anyway, i didnt go any place this weekend. Its tired as i went out almost every week last month. Felt want to cut my hairs but lazied to go out.

Last night my housemate's, Raj, car tyre flat but he failed to unscrew the nuts in order to replace it. LOL. He and Adrian (My another housemate) worked on it for an hour but still failed to do it. They put the spanner on tyre nut and both step on it and swung, LOL. But the nut was still tightly sticked on its place without any rotation at all! I wonder how it was screwed on the tyre last time, it was so tight!

Finally Raj called up his rescue team, Jeff and Stephen. After another 30 minutes, eventually the 4 guys defeated the 5 stubborn nuts. LOL.

Short term memory lost --> STML

I have very serious STML recently. I wonder why that would happen. For example today i have been forgotten a lot of things.

1. This morning one of my net-friend say hi to me and then ask me to see her display picture, sincei never know her look. But due to my office only allowing windows messenger that does not support display picture feature, i cant see her picture there. After I came back from lunch, I message her to ask her why she messaged me this morning. The funny part was i recalled it after 10 minutes and message her again to tell her what i recalled. hmmm....

2. My colleague bought me lunch and I thought want to pay her after finished the food. As after finished the food we raised up some discussion and I forgot about it. Then when came out from cafe and walking back to lab, i recalled the payment and thought want to pay her in lab. After I came out from toilet and I totally forgot about that. She talked with me again for 30minutes but i didnt recall anything about the payment. I recalled it again after I reached home and felt want to sms her after bath.... again, forgotten, until now I only recall it!!! because i am writing this blog ... eventually, the sms was sent 5 minutes ago. LOL

A new couple

Last night surprisingly knew that Enigma and Margaret already attached to each other. Thats a good news to me. As before they meet each other, I already sensed that they are interesting to each other. Therefore i made myself as busybody to help them get closer to each other. I arranged an appointment for them and that was a good one for them. Eventually my effort rewarded, they already started their new stage of relationship for a week. I wish them can be loving each other forever. Ya, I love to see couples who live in sweet. :)

Stomach-ache

I had diarhea this morning. My stomach started felt pain when i just reached office. Then i straightaway rush to toilet and spent half an hour there. This made me missed my programming training. I went toilet 3 times today. Even now i am still feeling there is gas in my stomach. But i cant recall that i ate anything wrong last night. Thats weird...

My niece

My 2nd sis-in-law sent me my niece pictures, she is so cute ... but i never seen her since her born. Hopefully can meet her in October during holidays.

Margaret farewell meet

Margaret is going to HongKong to study for 4 months. Therefore we who always chat in the Penang forum group chat decided to do a farewell dinner for her. There were 8 of us attended the dinner last night in Tesco Pizza Hut - Me, Enigma, Dragon, Cat, Huisy, Margaret, Apple and Zhuan. This was the first time i meet most of them as well (I met Enigma, Margaret, and Apple before). Huisy is very much shorter than I expected, LOL. Anyway, the dinner was not bad. They also did a integrated photo as shown below for Margaret. Looks not bad huh....

After dinner Margaret had to go back with her parents, then Zhuan was going back to Alor Setar, the rest of us then decided to go for KTV. We got a room in Oriental and then sang for 4 hours there. Enigma was sleeping most of the time. Cat and Dragon drink and smoke quite lot (they declared that they seldom do that). Are they having lots of problem and get stress? hmmm... i not sure. I think I cant help much as well. I reached home around 5am and straightaway collapsed on my bed :)
