I need a double...

Seriously I do... Aiyo... I need to be in my office to get certain things done... but I also need to be at Pekan to conduct some fitment... and then I need to arrange for another vehicle analysis out of office but in Klang Valley... and I need to prepare documents for my colleague while I am out of office which is in my company PC and which the additional info needs to be gotten from the actual vehicle itself which is parked in the basement in which the building I am not in at the moment coz I am doing the other stuff outside.. and to top it all off.. I got business visitors from Thailand which I am suppose to have a meeting with in the office on the day which I need to be out but in... Oh isnt it just confusing...
I need to help in time management at this point... but then again it is not that I dont manage my time well but all things love happening at the same time making it virtually impossible for me to do all at one go... This is the biggest reason why I really need a partner with me in my dept.. It always happens in such a way... when there is nothing urgent then no problem occurs.. but when you have urgent matters.. it is made worse with all the occuring problems... I just cant split myself into 2 or 3 or 4 to be available to attend everything and be on top of everything... My boss has really got to see this la... haai.. really need to sit down and talk about all this with my boss... God... when is Shee's replacement coming in... At least that would reduce one of the urgent jobs in which I need to complete... Aiyo..stress nye...
Like at this moment... I am at work... reason why I can type this posting is coz I am waiting for a supplier who is suppose to come at 1430 to have a meeting with me along with confirmation of certain improvements made on the part... but he is late... and I have another vendor who is suppose to come at 1530 which I then pushed to 1600 coz the earlier supplier is late... it is now 1515 and still no sign of the first vendor... and upon the arrival of the second vendor I need to remove all the door trim of the vehicle... exchange some parts and put everything back together.. after that I need to send him back to his office... in Shah Alam.... and after that I need to rush to DHL warehouse in Subang to collect some urgent parts which I then need to deliver to Pekan tomorrow while I have a trial fitment there as well... While I am there tomorrow, I also need to be here in the office to check on the vehicle which will come tomorrow to confirm some part number which I obviously cant do without seeing the vehicle... Wonderful right? So all my schedules are overlapping and everything is urgent... Aiyo... :(
What else? I need to go Pekan on Monday as well for another trial fitment as well as finish the documents I need to finish with the info of the vehicle which I have yet to have laid eyes on... Wonderful right? Then I need to be out of the office again the entire day on Tuesday while still having the urgent documents pending because I have not seen the vehicle... I could have postponed the Monday fitment to Wednesday but then my guest from Thailand is visiting on Wednesday... So now... which is more important? Aiyo... difficult la... how la to juggle everything? :(
On top of that I need to concern myself on all the weird and wonderful problems that is constantly occuring around me... :(
HELP!! I need some HELP!! Will somebody just get me so HELP?!! Anyone knows how to clone? Or brainwash my boss into hiring?

When/How will we really know....

Wanted to blog something on this title.. but then somehow or rather cant seem to piece the words together... So many things can be broached under this title....
Maybe one day when I do find the words to piece together or find another way I could simplify what is running through my mind when I think of this title, then I would write about it.. for now I shall just leave the title there... :)
Make your own story and conclusion....

I am so highly stressed

There is no other way to describe how I am feeling at this point except that I am highly stressed... Stressed and upset... What is worse is that there is nothing I can do to relieve it... :(
I have been placed in a situation that something under my responsibility has been idiotic enough to screw up big time but since it is my responsibilty, all fingers are still pointing back at me.
What stresses me is not the fingers being pointed but the fact that I can do nothing about it... The problem needs to be overcomed but there is no possibility of overcoming it at this point... There is just no alternative... Even if I can explain why it happened in the first place, I cant rectify the problem. Unfortunately, it is the rectification which is highly crucial at this point.
I just dont know what to do.... There is no one I can turn to... I am just stuck in this situation with no means of getting myself out.... None whatsoever...
For all the effort I have been putting into all this... it is all just not going to matter coz what will reflect in everyones mind and memory from now on is this problem and how I am unable to solve it....
I am not trying to push responsibility but it isn't my fault this problem occurs... I was just not aware coz all other parties involved did not bother to rope me in to discuss the matter nor pre-warn me... I was only informed when it was too late and now I am looked at to rescue the problem... I suppose in a sense it is my fault for not being aware but how was I to be aware when there wasnt any signs of a problem in the first place... It cant be that I spend every minute and hour of my working time monitoring each and every responsibility(this is not people) of mine down to the date and time they do everything... they are suppose to be grown adults with brains of their own.... I expect that they would be independant enough to function and yet smart enough to report a problem if there is one potentially to happen instead of wait for it to blow up in their faces and leave the pieces for me to pick up...
If the situation had a plausible solution, I would not be so stressed.... Angry but not stressed... but now there is no light at the end of the tunnel... I do hope that light will appear.....
I am praying God would create a miracle and somehow or rather something would be able to be done to solve all this.... but for now... All I can do is wait and see.... Hold my tears back... and wait... (ya...stupid habit... when I am highly stressed and angry, I cry to release... yes it is immature... yes it is childish... yes it is not professional... I am working on it... It is just a very hard habit to kick... so bear with me...)

Story on behalf...

I've got another funny story to tell.. well technically it is not my story to tell la.. but since Elaine doesnt have a blog and I tot the story was quite funny I decided to tell on her behalf...
A few week ago when Elaine got back from work and as usual went up to her room, she noticed that her room smelt weird.. There was a sort of musky smell which she could not pin point what which was coming out of her air-conditioning unit.. So she decided to just keep it on for a while to cool her room and switch it off again..
Then the next day, she decided to do the same thing... She switch it on and suddenly something flew out of th air conditioning unit.... She was thinking " What the....?" it flew and landed under her teddy bear.. So she picked the bear out to see what was it that flew out... probably some chunk of dust or something.. When she saw what it was she scream... "Aaaaaahhh!!!!!" it was a roach... a huge one... Eeeeps... she straight away jumped out of her bed and the roach went running around the room as well... She went looking for shieldtox and sprayed the whole room coz she couldnt find it.... haha!! didnt go in back for a few hours...
When she went in, the roach was still nowhere in sight... unfortunately she still needed to sleep so she went back into bed... thinking the fella might have just ran away not to come back again..
Few days went by without a roach in sight... she comfortably thought it was gone forever...
So one day when she came home and headed to her room again... she opened the door and took a step in to switch on the lights... *some paper crackling sound* and she stepped on something... Not knowing what it was since it was dark she proceeded to switch the lights on... Guess what she saw? haha!! The roach right under her feet.. Ewww.. "Aaaaaaarrrrggghhhhh!!!" she screamed her lungs out for the whole house and the neighbours to hear as well.. haha!! funny... She said she didnt feel the wet insides when she stepped on it coz she didnt step on the way yet... haha!! Ewww... so anyway... roach was dead and Elaine's bedroom is once again safe... :)

Something Funny....

Last Saturday was Ai Li's birthday... she turns 30 this year..HAPPY BIRTHDAY AI LI!!! oops.. now everyone knows... hehe!! never mind la.. she looks extremely young.. ppl usually mistaken her for my younger sister so the age thing is just a number to her..
First things first.. must give a bit of background... every year my sister will announce her birthday to the whole family well in advance so that no one forgets... One month before... then 2 weeks before... then one week before... and a few days before.. haha!! ya.. she is obssessed that ppl dont forget.. hehe!!
So this year.. she did the same.. and since we went down to Singapore a couple of weeks ago she repeated it to my elder sis..
So midnight struck and her birthday came... we all wished her heppi birthday except for Ai May... tick tock tick tock... Ai Li waited... still no call.. she waited til 2 plus in the morning I think... and still no call.. she merajuk liao... but never mind.. give chance.. maybe tomorrow morning..
So morning came... she woke up and tick tock tick tock... and still no call... she merajuk to the extreme liao.. then mum asked me to msg my sister to ask for that day's date... that was about 2pm... then we went out for a hair cut.. sister wanted a total makeover for her hair on her 30th birthday... so at about 3pm I got a reply from Ai May... guess what the msg said? " 15 Sep" and nothing else... so I replied back... "And....?" I was laughing by then... Ai May really forgot and Ai Li was pouting... haha!! Then about 10 mins later I got a call from Ai May.. " Oh my God!! I forgot!!! Aiyo... I totally forgot...... etc" haha!! I was laughing my head off by that time... Ai Li was merajukking like small kid and pouting already... haha!!
So anyway... Ai May called her and wished her... but then not without paying a price... Ai Li asked Ai May to sponsor/partially sponsor the hair makeover which came up to RM400.... she rebonded and coloured her hair.. good thing the stylist is my fren or else it would cost much more... and that is also with the haircut itself being free... Ai May ask, how much Ai Li wanted her to sponsor and Ai Li asked her back... " How guilty do you feel to have forgotten my birthday... how much is that guilt worth?" hhaahah!! So in the end Ai May said she will pay SGD150... so Ai Li was heppi back again... But it was just so hilarious... If you could only see Ai Li's face... haha!!! ;)

Balik Kampung!!

Merdeka!! Merdeka!! Merdeka!! Yaay!! Long weekend... oops.. how un-patriotic I am... hehe!! Anyway.... last minute plan... Ai Li was given a half day off by her company on Thursday (30 Aug 2007) because they were located in KL and there was going to be road closures around that area... So Ai Li was excited since it became and even longer break... So she suggested for us to balik kampung.... kampung being Singapore...
No, I am not Singaporean whole nor half... just that my maternal side has long shifted to Singapore to live.. They have been there since before I was born... The whole lot of them.. Grandfather, Grandmother, Uncles, Aunties and cousins... Plus my sis Ai May is also there now so its kampung to me... So I took half day leave on Thursday too so that we could have an early start...
Ai Li insisted we used the second link so that we do not get caught in the jam... so off we went.. Dad drove all the way until right before the second link and Ai Li took over the wheel... obviously everyone thought that she would know the way since she insisted on that route.. See see she say she dun know... and who had to come to the rescue? Who else.. Ai Chin la... all those trips into Singapore during uni days were not wasted afterall.. I had a fairly good sense of direction in Singapore.. though I didnt really know the way but I managed to get us to my sister's house... No thanks to my dad who just kept on complaining.. saying we were lost, why dun we call ai may and ask for directions, why dun we call my cousin to ask for directions.. etc..
But I insisted we were not lost... We really werent.. we might be taking a slightly longer route but I assure you I knew my way... hmmph... dad didnt believe.. :( So sad...
So what did we do there? Well the main reason dad agreed was because he arranged for a golf game on Friday... As for the rest of us, there wasnt much of an agenda.. Arrived on thursday night... Ai May was watching this Taiwanese serial... We sat and watch along.. then everyone went to sleep coz tomorrow is a working day but Ai Li and I stay awake to continue watch... Fuiyoo.. guess what time we slept? 0530.. haha!! Talk about getting more sleep during the holidays... not for us apparently.. hhehe!! And that also we didnt finish the series yet.. Woke up at 1400 the next day and continued... completed the series finally... haha!! So that was the whole of Friday.. we did go out for dinner but that was about it.. How uneventful... But hey.. isnt that what you do on a holiday.. relax and vege out.. especially when you balik kampung... I know Singapore is not the normal kampung but it is still kampung to us... No need to go anywhere wan...
Then came Saturday... Dad wanted to catch a movie... So we booked Bourne Ultimatum.... But first we went to Central.. this new mall at Clarke Quay... not so great..weird layout... nothing nice to see or buy though me and Ai May did buy the same ring each... it was cheap... relatively la.. So then we went to Vivo City.. also a new mall..a huge one at that... Decided to have lunch at this place called Bosses... In chinese the wording was 'Hak Se Wui'... mind my han yu pinyin.. didnt learn... but I think you know what I mean... so I was thinking.. shouldnt the place be called 'Triads' instead..? Took some photos with my phone so mind the clarity... hehe!! Place was quite nice.. food was not too bad.. Dim Sum was on half price after 1400... cool...

Bosses... Cool logo huh? Using camera phone so not too clear...

Hanging Lanterns... Nice....

Me and Mummy....

Rarely occurance.. Ai May, Ai Li & Ai Chin.. in sequence...

Papa & Ai May...

Some of the food.. this one is so full with spring onions.. Eww...
XO Char Siew Sow.... Yummy...

Fish and Toufu Dumpling...
3 Mushroom Chee Cheong Fun.. Nice.. All Gone... hehe!!

Cute Teapot and cup right?

Then we went off the Singapore Plaza to watch movie... saw ppl buying nachos with cheese dip.. couldnt resist so bought some myself.. sinfully fattening.. but yum yum... hehe!! The show was quite good too... We came across something funny while at the cinema...

At the Platinum Card line...

While my bro-in-law was in line to collect our tickets he was lining up at the line next to the platinum card reservation line.. and there was a few young teenagers or youths in the line and right behind them was this older man... So the older man taps one of the youngers ones on the shoulder and said... " Excuse me... but this line is only for platinum card holders"... Guess what happened next? All the young kids in that line turned around and flashed their platinum card at him... hahaha!! farnie... they just didnt say a word and just whipped out their card... haha!! goes to show... don't underestimate the buying power of the younger generation.. they are armed with mummy and daddy's platinum cards... :D
We actually saw another funny thing while taking the MRT around... I didnt manage to snap a picture of the first station.. but I did find a postcard with the same msg.. so this is what it says...


All over the station it was saying.. dun eat poultry skin.. dun eat rice cooked with coconut milk... dun eat pastries... dun each fried food... all the msg was saying that it was bad for your health...

But then..... we stepped off the train to change lines and guess what the next station was full of?

Now how can you fight with that? hahaah!! I think the government's warning has fallen onto deaf ears.. or more like blind eyes... haha!! Burger King dont care... but then again I think the health ad was a bit overboard.. I dont think all those stuff are unhealthy... as long as you take them in moderations... right? What is the point of living and eating if you need to avoid all those?

Oh one more picture... this one is precious... It has not been seen done for over 30 years...

hehe!! my dad on public transportation.. He hasnt done this since he was in high school taking the bus... hahah!!!
So then Sunday came by... last day to Singapore.. didnt do much..had lunch.. visited grandma and headed straight home... Thank God my dad doesnt trust my driving so he drove all the way... It was jam from Malacca to Nilai.. Ouch... poor daddy... hehe!!

One final photo... cute traffic light on the last day... hehe!!
