Its my first event of the year (YES, 5 days after CNY). There have been several hurdles throughout the planning process, but I’m glad most of them have been overcome. Its important for me, so pls pray for me and hope that for the next 2 days, everything will run smoothly.
Once again, thanks to my beautiful wife who is supporting me silently, I know she wants me to be by her side, but she knows that for now, I can’t.
2009 will be my worst CNY, simply no mood to enjoy at all. Whenever I thought of this super long holidays (Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday), I will really start to become worried, cause it means that the things that I want people to do will stop moving as everyone s in holiday mood. The worst thing was I slept at 4am on the first day of CNY because everytime I start to close my eyes, I will think of my work. When I go visiting, I’ll also think of my work. Actually, I’ve been doing my office stuff since CNY eve. I guess I just need to perserve and pull through this difficult period, counting down to another 3 more days.
Haha, and I actually went back to office today. According to one of the email I received, its a good day to start work for those people who horoscope is a DOG. If I start work tomorrow, it will only be average, so being superstitious, I make it to office today for about a few hours.
Anyway, wish me luck for my event on this coming weekend!
On CNY Eve, I received a SMS from a friend saying that he wanted to nominate himself for Best Staff & Support Officer for the year. The reason, cause I got it last year and he doesn’t want to lose to me and what’s more, he wants to show off to the staff in his unit that he can really make it. He also felt that he has given alot for the past year (I think when you work, don’t think about any awards or recognition first, concentrate on what you are doing, if it comes it will come).
Personally, I think what disturbs me most was how he wanted to tap on my “group project” (for info, though its termed at group project, but I’m the one who is consolidating all the information, doing the programming, liasing and ensuring the project will be up and running by 1 March) for the coming award.
To me, it feels good to be given an award, but it got to be given by the bosses and management. So when the bosses tells you about your nomination, it will come as a pleasant surprise and you will feel good and proud about it. But telling your boss that you want to nominate yourself is something that I will never do, cause its not the bosses who are recognising you, its you recognising yourself, which I don’t feel shiok about it.
After this incident, I don’t know why but felt scary. Are people around me always competing with me? Why do people wants to compete with me and worst still, free-loading the things that I’ve done on themselves?
Since our last checkup, Dr Benjamin has updated us that the baby is now in the ready position, however, yet to be engaged. This is a piece of good news, so at least we know that baby will be coming out a few days before or on time.
During the scan, Dr Benjamin said that its a little princess and we can get the girly stuff. If it’s not a girl he said, he will give us a full refund on the girly stuff that we bought. After the checkup, we went to book our delivery package. After 2 years, the package increased by $600, it currently cost $4380 for Class A1 that we booked.
With all that have been told to us, we are proud to announce that the name of the baby girl is Ezanne Pang. We now have Ethan, next Ezanne and in the years to come… another child with the name starting with E. Oh, if you want to ask me what’s the meaning, I’m afraid we do not have. We got the name from one of the Baby Names website and under the meaning column, it was empty.
After my event this coming week, we will start the final countdown to the arrival of Ezanne and in case if it turns out to be a boy, we’ve got the name ready too. Our next checkup is next week so stay tune for more updates.
Can some experts out there advise me if my prawn is pregnant? I always got a feeling that it is…
I heard this song from 大嘴巴 for at least 3 times a day. Can you imagine, I only listen to Yes 933 when I’m driving and I can actually listen to this song for 3 times… But well, catchy tunes and the video, still not bad lah…
It has been some time since I last shared discount coupons with everyone. Here is Swensen 1 for 1 Gold Rush. By the way, Swensen is open during CNY.
There seems to be so much to do and I’ve got soe much to update for the blog, but it seems I’ve only got 24hrs a day to do it.
But no worries, since the holidays are round the corner, it means I can stay up alittle later than usual to finish up my stuff and blog. There are just too many things that I want to blog.
Since morning till now, I supposed I’ve received more than 30 phone calls. Sound exaggerating, I think it is, but it seems inevitable since everyone was looking for me for something. And the battery life for my phone seems to have shorten, from morning till now, its left about 2 bars only…
Actually this is my strategy. I am on leave today, so I went back to office last night, to clear my email, send them to people and wait for their response. Somehow or rather, I expected them to call me to ask certain questions, so at least, even if I am not in office checking email, they still called me to clarify and send me what I wanted (haha, that’s the power of Out of office message).
But at times, I’m just so irritated by the phone that I threw my temper again and who is the victim when I threw my temper? My poor wife, Jingyi…
