To: You
finally, you've decided to take flight. you have been persistent, much to my surprise. i don't know how persistent you would be till... guess everyone has their patience. i understand.
not as if i didn't consider you, but just that there's always something holding me back. enjoyed your company all these while, and i'm happy to leave it as it has been. just that, i'm sorry i can't grant you what you wanted.
your analogy about my weekends' available was spot on. i didnt want to tell you much, neither do i want you to know anything. coz' i just liked the way we were.
it is your decision and i respect that. perhaps that is actually the best for you, like what i told you many times before. i won't start pointing fingers or anything like that. i'll clear my balance with you, and it should draw the lines clear enough. hope there'll be no hard feelings.... i know i won't.
thanks for being there. thank you. :)

tired
have been a really shag-out month. i think it's no joke that i clocked 28 hours of OT for this month! 8 hours a day, and 28 hours is actually equivalent to, erm, additional 4 more working days? so instead of the usual 20 or 22 working days, i'm working almost up to 26 days a month! wah... really really tired eh. it has come to the extend where i don't even want to step out of my house over the weekends. i only wanted to sleep in....
anyway, my department is undergoing some major restructuring. since my team is considered under Marketing, yes, my team would change abit; mostly on the Directors and Managers though. i'm really grateful that my Boss would still remain. however, i may not be reporting to her directly.
now the thing is, during this transition, i opted to change abit of my job scope. basically whatever i'm doing would still remain, and i didnt take up additional responsibility, but the things i'll be handling would have more challenge.
then again, the whole restructuring may not be very pleasant for at least till mid next year. this is because we're trapped in this scenario:
my new reporting boss is ET and she will be reporting to my current Boss, AL. ET is heavily pregnant with twins and will be going on her maternity leave at the end of June, and will be extending her leave till Dec. so she would only be back onboard Jan next year. my team has initially 4 people, including ET and AL, and only 3 of us would be doing the groundwork. so when ET goes on leave for a wholesome 6 months, her workload would have to be split among another colleague and me.
the best part is, AL is pregnant too!
now she's in her 1st trimester, and due to her weak health, it took her great length to finally get pregnant. so all of us are trying to give her lesser stress. however, when ET is not around, her workload would have to split among me and another colleague named Lee. we're trying to pull another person in to help but she has very little knowledge of the work we're doing. hence, that's where Lee and I would have to handle most of the work on top of our own responsibilities.
and it is about time for ET to be back from her leave, it would be also about time for AL to go on HER maternity leave!
gawd....
with the workload, lack of manpower, i still have 12 more days of leave to clear. how? i don't even know how i'm going to take leave... well, not as if i got any plans yet. but there're no guarantee that i can bring forward my outstandings.
i'm mentality prepared of the new challenge i'm soon to take up. however, ET's maternity leave would make my current job even more challenging. imagine having to juggle someone else's work for the next 6 months, i'm not sure whether i can tahan. and in addition, ET is not participating in any part of the handover coz' she won't be in for the next 6 months. so when she's back next year, we won't handover to her immediately too...
it seems like this whole "ordeal" would only end when AL is back from her maternity leave... and that's most likely in May 2010.
maybe by that time, i'll asked for a pay raise, AND a deserving promotion.
and i didn't managed to clear my last module. i don't know if it's wise for me to enrol next semester, when ET would have gone for her maternaty leave. even though it's only 1 module, but i'm wondering if i should just concentrate on work till things get better....

updates
nothing much to do on a Sat weekend, so trying to spend some quality time for myself. so i uploaded the pics to my Lappie, and here goes... not in any order:
Fuji would not have appreciated the bed. he would prefer my bed than beds like that. however, Scrabbie is more accommodating. easy to please, i believe. haa... or perhaps, Scrabbie felt this would be a luxurious for him, compared to the pillow he used to rest on.
Scrabbles got a scratch on his cheek and near his left eye, Fuji had his gum bleeding. finally both of them were hiding their tails when i called out to them to wash their wound. after that, they sat at different corners of the house, licking their wounded pride. hahaha... i guess it'll take a while more to be REAL friends.
and lastly, my new refurbished room!!!
i didn't engaged any help to move my furnitures; proudly done by yours truly. not easy, but it is definitely satisfying.
changed the table to something smaller to give my room more walking space, the foldable table where my Lappie is sitting right now, and most importantly, The Bean Bag! imagine me in the 1st picture, exactly where i am when i'm typing this post. of coz', when i'm done, i keep my Beanie and table to one corner.
loving my room more and more... woot! getting cosier...
anyway, i'll be changing the window shades to new blinds. the shades are pretty filthy already, and i can't wash it. so i bought new blinds when i was at Ikea that time.
okay, that's more or less it. trying to find a good time to see if i can get an aircon. the weather has been kind to me somehow coz' i can still sleep just with a fan. i'm still pushing my tolerance level. and when the time comes where my trusty fan is insufficient, i'll grab my credit card and get an aircon fixed for real.
i bought a new bed for Scrabbles when i went to Ikea to do some window shopping... i believe he's very happy with it, coz' i took this picture on the day i bought it home...
went out with Tim to Suntec for some chill-out session 2 weeks ago... then we went to the arcade and ended up catching these!! hahaha... i caught those 2 on the left, and he managed to catch the last one on the right. it's can really rewarding, especially when you see the clamps held on to your prize tight enough and release it to you through the gutter.
i gave my Stitch to Tim to put in his car. after all, the Mickey Mouse is somewhat "out of place". right now, Mickey is sitting happily on my new bed frame. :D
On last Sat, i went out with my family to have some Mother's Day dinner. didn't buy her anything this year coz' i really not know what to get her. so i guess i'll wait till her next bday, then get her something. :P
anyway, i brought Scrabbles to meet Fuji! this was the scene where both of them got dead tired after lots of playing. otherwise, you think they'll rest next to each other like that? dream on! hahahaha....
don't know what triggered them; not too long after i took this picture, they fought. i was watching TV and they were fighting on my feet. i managed to pull them apart and both kena whacking from me.

ever since so much hoo-haa for some mundane blog post from me, i can't help feeling abit wary about posting my thoughts. i'll never know what would have offended anyone out there. oh well, luckily i don't depend on this blog entirely, otherwise i would've prolly find myself in a spot where i have no other channels for me to say my thoughts.
i'm right now in my dumps. a few of you would prolly know coz' i've shared with you when you've asked. still coping, finding my way around. just perhaps i haven't given up...
-----
anyways, i've did some serious shopping spree and ended up spending quite alot this month. gonna face the music, mainly myself, when the bills screamed at my face. basically, i did some refurbishing of my room! happy happy!
i bought a new bed frame for easier cleaning, a new dressing table (but more of just a simple and smaller table top with no mirror or drawers), a DIY bean bag, and a small foldable table for my lappie. so at this very moment, i'm plopped comfortably on my bean bag and my lappie is resting on the foldable table, happily typing away. HEE! and of coz, i did some major shifting in my room to give more space for the bean bag. now, i lack of an aircon installed and a full length mirror which i intend to plant it behind the doors of my wardrobe, and TA-DA! my long loooong awaited little heaven, found in this puny 3-room apartment.
when my room is all done up, i'll post some pictures...
till then, no more public hols to look forward to, so just hang in there yar? LOL...

then again, i do hope those 3 are among your reliable friends who can give SOUND advice when you need help. if not, i think don't waste so much time on them... hehehehe....
