Back to Office

Today is Saturday and i "have to" back to office to do some work. The whole office is so quiet and i know cuz every Saturday and Sunday most of my colleague are not coming in to do work. Except one colleague, Mr. A and he will "Ocassionaly" come in and do his work. There is rules said that we have to come in to work on Saturday or Sunday. Then just dun come in lar! I drag my sis along to "teman". We supposed to come in around 10.30am but becuz she woked up late this morning. After out breakfast + lunch then only we come in. She brought he laptop along and edit her PowerPoint slide presentation for the coming Wednesday class. She very good in preparing the slides and she can add very nice effects on them. I just left her alone with her work and i continue with mine. I just finbished my work and about to go home. Before i go home, i thought of checking mails and blogging. As my house internet connection was damn slow (using TM Net mar!) somemore dial-up! The office is much much more faster than that. Of course i will do the blogging here lar!

Not going anyway later. Probaly just go home, take a noon nap or watching Astro. Astro dun have nice programs to watch on Saturday afternoon. Mum is not cooking for dinner tonight. Maybe will bring her out for dinner or maybe just "Ta Bao" mixed-rice or mee from the nearby kopitiam. See how lar. All depends on mum. If she is feel like cooking, then she will cook!

I am going Mid Valley with JL tomorrow for celebrating her 25th birthday! I told her "dah old liao!"! Looking forward to go tomorrow cuz the last time i went to Mid Valley was like 2 months ago. What's we going to have for lunch? We always have problems when we are in Mid Valley as there do have many choice of foods/restaurants! Just let the birthday girl to decide lar!

Got Nothing!

Just got back from the place where we suppose to collect samples. When we left our office, the weather was good but when we almost to reach the place, it started to rain. My boss have been there 2 years ago with my colleague and I thought she still remember where to turn and can reach there on time without searching for the place. I was wrong! She just forgot the way and made the wrong turning and ended we spent almost 15 minutes to search the place. Finally we reached there and the sky already turned dark and we know it going to rain heavily soon. We have to wait for the person in-charge at the lobby for another 15 minutes. They put a self-service machine at their lobby and we can choose to have coffee or Milo. Not bad, at least we got serve some drinks while waiting for him. Finally he was there and he introduced us to another person. Mr. AH and after that he just left us with the Mr. AH. Then he “disappeared”! Mr. AH was a nice man and he brought us to the plant where we suppose to collect our samples. Guess what? On the away there, it rained heavily with the thunder storm. The worse part was the person in-charge who spoke him on the phone for the past 1 week, just called him Mr. SM. Mr. SM he forgot to inform the Plant Manager what kind of samples we want (I already told him few times on the phone!) and the Plant Manager just sent out all the samples that we needed. Now, we have no more samples to collect. It was raining heavily with the thunder storm, so we cannot go at the site to collect another type of samples. Ended we left there with “NOTHING”! The nice Mr. AH said will get all the samples ready by next Monday morning. So, we have to go again on Monday morning! The worst part is my boss want me to go her house (I think she wants me to drive her there!). Please lar, my car is a smallest car in Malaysia. Need to collects dunno how many bottles of samples plus fetching her and maybe another colleague? Just wondering my car still can move or not?! So Monday morning, go there again!

Tak Jadi

The trip for sample collection in this afternoon was cancelled due to the heavy rain in PJ. From my office to the place we are planning to go are in the heavy rain. My boss was right. No point if we go there and then cannot go to the site to collect the samples. It’s quite dangerous if we collecting the samples in the heavy rain and I am sure the Plant Manager also not allow us to do that. I called the person in-charge and told him that it was raining heavily and can we still go to collect the samples? He said: “Yah, you are right!” Then I suggested tomorrow morning but he said cannot cuz they have visitors in the morning. Then he said tomorrow after 3pm will be fine if we can come to collect the samples. What if tomorrow rain again at 3-4pm? How about Monday? He seems like busy and he asked me to discuss with my boss first and get back to him. I told my boss about this and she also agreed that tomorrow afternoon might rain again. She told me to inform him that if tomorrow (after 3pm) is not raining then we will be there and if rain, then we will goes on Monday morning. Ok, when I tried to called him and he already wasn’t in his office. No one answered the call. What to do? I have to call him tomorrow morning and just hope that tomorrow’s weather will be fine so we can carry on with out plan. Cuz I can’t wait anymore, I need the samples for sending to do analysis and also to continue with my work. I really hope for a sunny day tomorrow afternoon!

Got the reply

Finally i got to call him for the sample collection. He said he was "so busy" and he actually forgot to ask his Plant Manager regarding the samples collection. He asked me to left my phone number and he will reply me shortly. Ok, fine! i trust him again! I waited for about half an hour. Finally he called me and said that i can come to collect the samples this afternoon. I was like "Hah? Today?". Cuz i didn't expect to go today. Then he said since the person in-charge is there and free for today. Then I told him should be alright but i need to inform my boss first. If not later when she found out i do all the things alone and without informing her, sure she will "mengamuk pula!". I am expecting i will be going alone to the samples collection as all my collegue were not free. My boss was in a good mood this morning and she said will go with me and the most important is she will drive there. All i need to do is to get ready all the empty bottles, plastic begs and some old newspapers. Confirm, we are going in less than an hour time. Just hope that everything will be smooth on this journey to the samples collection. Will be back for blogging this evening if i am not too tire when i get back to office! :)

Good News

My boss just called and she said a letter said that i got the extention for my scholarships. Yes! I feel so happy! I was worry that i can't get the extention, if really cannot then i might need to pay on my own for the coming semester fees! Thank God, i got it!

Another good news was my bos finally allow me to send my samples out to NUS and a local lab for analysis. This will cost about RM500-RM600. She keep asking me whether is that necessary to analyze all the samples components? I told her it will be better if can get that data and these data will help in future work. Then she said: "Like that then ok lar." Thanks, Boss! She wants me to send as soon as possible. Of course can lar, cuz i already contact the person in-charge and got the quotation from them. What i need to do is to get my sample ready for sending.

For the past few days, i was trying to contact a person in-charge for some sample collection. I have spoken to him on the phone on last Friday, then he said no problem and he can provide me thw samples. Then he asked me to get back to him on this Monday to confirm the date for samples collection. I called him on Monday and he asked me to call again on Tuesday morning. Everything seems to be fine (according to his respond on phone), then i called on Tuesday morning. I called and called until today. No one pick up the phone. I think that is the direct phone line for him as i called previously, he was the one pick up the phone call.

Is he trying to avoid answering call? Or he is just too busy and wasn't in his room? Or he is on medical leave for both days?

I told my boss about it and she suggested me to send him a polite e-mail (of course lar! if not a rude e-mail meh?!) and tell him that i have been trying to contact him for the past 2 days and hope that he can reply to me as we need the samples urgently for our work. I did, typed the e-mail and send to him. Still he has no reply! I will wait and see, if he would reply me by tomorrow. If i can get the samples by this week, then i can get the samples done and send them out to NUS and local lab for the analysis. If can't, then i have to send in the samples separately and this will be more expensive and i have to wait longer for the analysis data. What can i do? Just wait and see!

Feeling so tire now. Alone in the office and all my collegues left already. I can't leave the office now cuz afternoon school going to end and will be the real traffic jams along the roads that have schools. In order to reach home, I have to pass by 1 primary and 3 secondary schools and you can imagine how many cars jams outside these schools. All rich kids from rich family. Parents waited them outside the schoold with big and imported cars (most of them) and this really cause a serious jams on the road. Just wondering where is all the traffic police? Can't they be there to do the duty? Help out for the terrible traffics lar! "Tak payah buat kerja- kah?"

Good Old Memories @ Taman Selera

Today i had lunch with JL @ Taman Selera Food Court, PJ Old Town. We were kind of disappointed cuz the famous "Hak Kah Yong Tau Fu" & "Hai Nan Chicken Rice" stall were closed. Not only this 2 stalls were closed, others stalls also were closed! Why??? We were wondering why??? Luckily the delicious "Ais Kacang" stall was opened. We didn't have much choice for our lunch. I ordered fried rice and JL ordered mee from "Ng Teow Le" stalls. This stall is famous for their fried rice, according to my friends. We used to have lunch there very often about 8 years ago. We used to took BM tuition at Cikgu Nazir class 2-3 times per week. After school, JL, me and others friends used to take B6 school bus from our school to Old Town. Then we will have lunch at Taman Selera. Time pass really fast and that was like long time ago. After i left my secondary school, i still have lunch at there often cuz i will go to the PJ library after my pre-U class. Still with friends but not JL cuz she was studied in Inti after F5. Taman Selera Food Court really have a lot of good memories for me. The place still the same, most of the stalls still there and the food still as delicious as last time. Maybe i should have lunch or dinner there more often as the foods there were not expensive and most important was have nice food there!
