Resolution Review

Summary of what I achieve from my resolution:

  • Pay increment
  • Take more challenge : do new thing (reporting, etc)
  • Take language course
  • Save $$
  • Start APAW ( A photo a week) - I managed to start, but I didn't manage to end it. :p

  • Drink calcium milk weekly
  • Take off contact lenses daily
  • Sleep before 1am (weekday)
  • Sleep before 3am (weekend)
  • Join marathon 10 km by end of 2010 (at least once) - I did join some marathon even though I didn't manage to run 10 km in the end.. I only join 7.5km Cancer Fund Raise Run (I forgot what is the event name) and 5km Shape Run.


Failed to do:
  • Expenses tracking

  • Join mission trip
  • Read books (1 book in 2 months) - only read on the first half of 2010
  • Be a CL
  • Exercise once a week (at least once in 2 wk) - I did more exercise in 2010 but still failed because is not that regular :(
  • Join dance class
  • Weight loss - This is the worst instead of losing I am gaining! :(

2010 Resolution Review

Oh no it is almost time to review my 2010 resolution...
Umm...

Hopefully the outcome will not be so bad. :)

(to be continued...)

My Christmas

My Christmas this year is a little bit different with last year.
I have my Xmas spirit earlier compared to last year which was very very late until I had to do last minute shopping. This year is very contrast because I finished my shopping much much earlier. I think around early December.

This year I don't have time to create my own Christmas E-card to be sent to my friends and clients and colleagues...
Well, I'm still using last Xmas E-card as my laptop wallpaper :p.
Hopefully I can create one for CNY or Valentine's Day! :)

Well with this entry I also want to wish all of you who read my blog:

MERRY CHRISTMAS
&
HAPPY NEW YEAR

May in the following year you all still read my blog. Haha..
I wish you success and great year ahead!

My Xmas Gift

I bought this for my own Xmas gift!!!
I have been eyeing for this oven for quite sometime. I have been gone down to Courts to check on the item and to compare it with other models but they run out of stock. I get them to call me when the new stock coming but when tonite I went to NEX Fairprice Xtra, I saw this oven and to my excitement it is only $79.
Courts advertised it for $108. I was planning to get the 28L which is below $100.
I am so excited and happy until when I was having dinner I kept thinking to go down to fairprice.

Without hesitation I bought this. Actually the promotion is purchase with purchase. I have to purchase $25 of others item before I can buy it at $79. This what the promotion auntie told me.
So I pick one oven and shop around for the ingredients and other baking tools. :)
Happily I walked to the cashier to pay but the cashier boy told me that my oven is not a promotional item and it is not purchase with purchase. Even if purchase with purchase is at least buy $100 first before can buy the oven at $79. There is a bit miscommunication there but finally manage to sort it out. Fiuh! :)

Tomorrow I'm gonna try to bake cookies! Yay! So happy! :)

Holiday Mood

I keep receiving auto responder email from my clients.
They have been starting their holiday! Aaa.. I want to..
My Boss is going holiday for a week next week, and my colleague will be on leave to.

I don't plan to go anywhere this Xmas.
I was saving my $$ to buy something. Guess what...
I want to buy an oven! Yay I'm gonna start my new hobby of baking cake, cookies, muffin and brownies! :)

Ok lah, actually my mom asking me to go back to attend my cousin wedding.
But she was so persistent asking me to go back I kinda feel suspicious. She must have ulterior motive! I decided to stay here.
But I promised her that I will be back by end of Jan for CNY for 2 weeks! Gosh!
Sigh!
Actually my only motive to go back during CNY is to attend my best friend's wedding.
I have no mood to go back hometown. I kinda lazy to answer my mom's questions and relative's question regarding my life partner.
All same question even they know the answer they still keep asking me!
I'm tired answering them hence I block them all in messenger. :(

I do not want to go back home!

New Colleague

Today I'm gonna blog about my new colleague.
Well I hope that he doesn't read my blog else he will hate me but never mind.

There is this one new colleague joined last month to be a "Senior" Programmer.
As the word "Senior" is there, all of us expect that he will be very skillful with years of experience.
After sometime my previous boss left, we all struggle to survive and finally we all thought that the new savior has come to our office. Yay!
But we are all surprised!!

On his first day I gave him training about the product that I handle because he supposed to start work immediately without honeymoon period in office.
Okay to my horror:
1. He didn't write note on the things I explained to him even though I have mentioned to him that we do not have manuals for all the things I explained to him. Our manual is for user and not very detail for a technical thing.
2. He started YAWNING. OMG! Can not be that my training is so boring what? Earlier on in the training I have mentioned him the thing I briefed him, he supposed to start to do that immediately. He should be TAKING NOTES instead of YAWNING!
3. He received phone calls during the training and I have to pause my training and wait for him to finish with his phonecall from his bloody previous company. If he still wants to support his previous company, he should not quit in the first place!
Okay la, this point I can tolerate since it only first day working, maybe can still tolerate for a week lor.
4. My GM gave him a notebook and this guy asked me where to plug in the network cable on his notebook. SWT! This is a bad sign!
5. He was required to install software for him to do programming and he still asked me on how to install this and that. Isn't he a programmer? A senior programmer some more how come he doesn't even know how to install his own software that he supposed to be familiar or even expert with that software. If you are a visual basic programmer, you should know how to install visual basic program right? But he ask me whether he should install the service pack too! Gosh!
Okay the next thing is that he ask how to install SQL Server. Die!

A few days after that, my colleague gave him the source code and we had a short meeting on what he should do with that source code.
After struggling to copy the source code, registering the library, etc, open the program and he supposed to know what to do, he start doing his things. Some day after that he asked me on how to get the things out. WHATTTT! The logic he should think himself what? I have given him every piece of puzzle he needs and I have told him what picture the puzzle should be when it was properly arranged. He is not supposed to ask me how to arrange the puzzle to get the picture!
A big big shock for me.

Okay to tell you all, the second day of work he was late!

Argh! Damn!
He supposed to be a help to all of us but it is the opposite!
