Year 2004 is going to end. Quickly rap up here. What I found in me in this 2004.
Personality - I felt like I'm quite easy to let things turn me off, easily to get angry or dissapointed.
Health - Very bad this year, I break record of my 25 years of living, visit doctor the most this year. Health become weaker. Mainly due to work stress.
Relationship - Stepping into a new status of life soon. Many things started to change, get a new living of 2 and 2 become 1.
Work - This year really learn a lot after promoted, but still feel not enough. I also learn on
my department culture, relationship within manager and team, how to deal with different level of colleagues.
A good experience.
Family - Many new borns and marriage around, happy to see the babies are growing up.
Future In-Law family - Relationship getting better, but still not my ideal one yet. Needs lot of improvement for coming years.
Financial - Still enough to survive but my target for monthly saving plan was failed to achieve, this is very bad.
But getting better on how to pampered myself. Good or bad? need money too oh...
Friends - Own friends getting lesser and lesser, besides those close one are still contact frequently, mostly if
I not call them up they won't call me. But good things is those long lost friends, I mean those not keep in touch for
years are kept calling me up for gathering. Besides that, I also get to know some new friends.
Here share with you some of the moment from office in the last few days.

Farewell with Con Nee (Ying Fun, Michelle, Alice, Yee and Chew)
Finally and finally today I submit the resign letter to manager. I hand it to her after lunch. I don't know what to say, knock her door and give her the letter with a smile, then I walked away. Hmm...feeling hard, very very hard. Not more than half an hour later, she interkom me ask me go to her room, when I'm there, Asistant manager at her room too.
First thing she asked me whether I not happy working here and what makes me have such decision. So I told her all my reasons and she accept it without further asking more and she will inform me on my last day. As told Amilia and I, both hand in letter today. We went in her room after one another.
Check the account today, yippiee! bonus was bank in. But think won't enough for me also.
Buying many things to the new house. Start clean up the house now, since yesterday and every weekend..very tiring..we need to mud the holes on the wall, paint the whole house, clean all things which have fixed in...etc...luckily my dad and brother is there to help out too.
This morning step in office, colleagues come to me and wish me Merry Christmas with their Christmas gift. Now on top of my monitor and CPU full of gifts. Later department will have a Christmas Party lunch sponsor by boss. Tonight will join caroling team to go house to house.
My Christmas wishes:
Brandon will join me this year for Christmas celebration. I invited him every year, but all the years I celebrate alone with other church member. Lonely is becoz he is not wit me and the feeling is very different when ur most loves one is not with u. His joining for celebration already my greatest gift of the year.
Keep my family and friends safe and healthy and have a better year ahead.
Bless my marriage life a sweet and harmony one.
Company entertainment committee leader call up for meeting today, she announced that the team is going to retired, including herself, meaning that next year comittee faces no longer the same group of ppl. She gave each of us some words of appreciation for working together for 2 years time in organising event. Her words to me: "I likes you very much, Judy in a way that you are very reliable, thank you very much for staying up till today and help us in all event".
Well, actually my wish was half year ago I already want to quit the team, but she ask me to stay on till end of the year to wrap all events up nicely, so this is what I promise, and now I stay until today. Is year end now, not only me want to quit in fact 3/4 of the team want to quit. Left 3 fresh blood continue carry on the team...
Next Tuesday going to hand in resign letter, feeling hard to type it actually..very hard, first time, my first time writing resign letter...gosh..I don't want my words to be too harsh and direct. Although she have been treating me a bit unfair to others..but deep inside actually I'm having very very hard feel to leave the company and my teammate. The letter I'm writing now is fill up with words of gratitude and wishes, at least I feel better that way. Today I gave her a Christmas card as seasons greeting and next Tuesday give her resign letter, on the same day me and another of my colleague Amilia will give resign letter, I dunno how she feel by then. Both of us not purposely arrange to hand in on the same day, but we each have own reasons to leave and now is the time. 2 months notice, can leave less than 2 months time after deducted the balance leave days...Count down the days I'm leaving very very soon.
Final year already now. in this company. Today I gave them each a christmas small present as a wish to them for Merry Christmas and also as an token of appreciation for working on my projects. Aside happy aside miss...hhaiii...never talk much today due to having that mood, coz really having the feeling of very very miss them..
1st Christmas eve night, I'm not joining caroling team. coz I still haven't adjust my missing mood..need some quiet time...
This was last Friday, went to RedBox, Sunway with colleagues after work. Having a great time with them. Sing not much due to buffet dinner have take us times to finish. Thinking that I dun have much time left to be together with them in the same office. Guys..Is true that even when we are in office we damn fun to be with and joke with each other. This sweet memories will forever capture in my heart.
5 of us (Alice, Yee, Richard, Chew)
Did a lot of things on last weekend, shopping crazily wit cousin sis for 8 hours at KLCC and spend crazily. This year I bought most Christmas gift compare to last year. On Sunday went shop for lamp/lights and also Ikea to get some home deco item.
New house half done, only left the floor mozzec, cabinet, door, light and aircon not yet fix. I'm doing the curtain part, still not going to check out. After all those fix in, we then only get to electrical item and furniture in. Probably can move in before CNY.
Over the week, beside very busy with suddent work load, this never stop me from shopping for Christmas gift. These few nights have been busy wrapping up the gift bought, really treasure when wrapping it nicely. While I wrapping I only realise that I bought more than last year and year before..haha...Hopefully the small gift can bring out the meaning of celebrating Christmas to my frens. Suprisingly, my lovely cousin sis hand post me her early christmas gift and wishes to my office mailbox and I got that collect from the reception. This is my first Christmas gift of the year!
The shopping mall here are truly fill with christmas joy. Throughout the year in everywhere I noticed only Christmas season celebration ppl are more emphasize on. Even the lift music already change to Christmas carols. So warm every morning can listen to it, and start singing it inside my heart. The most eye-catching one is the apparel Esprit theme for this season is "Peace, Joy, Hope". Everyone see this is is to celebrate the Saviour Jesus Christ is born!
Today during lunch time, I even help to decorate the office christmas tree. Actually this is my very first time decoration it. Few of us, together hang up all the tree decoration item and get the small neon light on. Gazing at it after complete, feel joy in my heart.
Great news from the management, we entitle to have 1 day replacement public holiday on any day within a week after christmas this same goes to New Year holiday. Today just submit the leave form for 2 days off. Have some little spare time within work today, I took the time to manage my wedding dinner guest list.
Prayer to God: Father in heavenly, praise you in the name of God. Bless me with joy everyday and keep me in your safety hand. Pls lead me in doing more thing to prove that you are the true mighty God. Your born to the world is the great salvation to the universal. Hereby, I surrender all my family and friends onto your hand, God pls keep them in peace and healthy. Thats always my wish put upon you. Keep me safe tonight till the next day, in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
2 days ago I suffered leg ankle pain again. This time terrible coz the next day need to go Ipoh. The night before I feel like not going already, but I still pack up just hope that the next day will be better after apply some muscle release gel. Gosh! is getting more terrible. Before going, Brandon brought me to clinic to get some med to control and kill the pain. Doc said take 2 days to recover, he asked me to rest and not to walk too much.
This round going to Ipoh with Brandon's supplier. A annual dinner + factory visit. We went there by bus with other dealers. At noon, we reached Crickets lighter factory in Teluk Intan. The boss brought us round his whole factory, I can see now how a smaller and alim lighter produce from injap gas, to fix the top cap, QC check, printing design on it and packaging. The supervisor also explain to us along the way. Before we left, we each get a special edition of lighter, 5 in a each box, all having different design.
Crickets boss served us lunch at Lower Perak Club, Teluk Intan. Later went to visit Gua "Sam Poh". Check in hotel, we all stayed in Excelsior Hotel in the Ipoh town. At night Annual Dinner in "The Mouth Restaurant" at Green town. At the night, the boss serve his dealer Cigar. Each given a big cigar as souvenior. All cigar imported from Swiss. The whole restaurant fill with strong cigar puff. Even Brandon a non-smoker also start smoking. Ladies are also given a normal cigarrette size of coffee taste cigar to try, well I not dare to try. So I just take in the "second-hand" puff. The night all like big boss mouth having a big long cigar. Free flow are normal size of mild cigar. At the award time, the boss serve another round of cigar to the a few dealer. This good quality cigar was told that it store in a -20'C cold box.
Sunday after having breakfast, we leave Ipoh, back to KL. Today my leg feel better. But I need to get rid of this sickness, as this is my 3rd time. Very suffer every time. Is like u can't even walk properly and no mood is doing all things uuhh.. Tomorrow have make appointment with a leg therapy to check my leg.
Mat-Hatters Annual Dinner and Dance Night, at Pan Pacific, Glenmarie. My last annual dinner with this company, taken a lot of photo with colleagues. A very fun night. Another of better year of annual dinner. As a committee, running all night to do all things I assigned. Not eating much, but still very enjoy the whole environment. Not a lucky draw winner and also team performance winners.
Before
Committee as one who can leave early to get prepared, but end up I work until 5.30pm, need to rush for a delay project. End up I dress up in the office and reach there by 7pm. What happen is the person in charge who do data entry for this project giving her reason and she leave the office early with others to get prepare for annual dinner instead of finish her job first. End up I asked her to speak the manager becoz of her early leave, I dunno is noit my right to let her go or not, as her work not yet done, all stay but not herself!...guess what the boss agreed to let her go and left 30 thick q'naires to me which need to punch in. End up I got no choice, I seek for help from other colleagues, of coz since I so urgent some of "them" min keong help me to punch all data in, as I need to rush for another project tabulation too. After all finish my eye and brain blur..too rush all in a few hours. Faster I get myself dress up and go for the night.

Well, appraisal time 35 mins, so short in fact...step in the room when Manager call up at 4pm. Bring along the piece of form I wrote, pass to her, then she begin to review the score I hold in some job area. Half of it added 1 score others remain. Well, still quite satisfied with the score given, is the range of 7-9.
Listed also the job area I should covered and improved until next yr Dec. (oh.oh..I going to resign ya!..) sshh..no mention here ok...pretend like nothing...After that is time for me to talk and Manager talk. eem...pretty normal is not what I expected...She talked more than me and she can turn one of my bad point abt me in her own nice way..well ok..I dun really take that out voice out my reasons, coz whatever she say will be right and reasonable all time..the point is about "dun try to reject any job assign to u" ...her reason was an exec level should know how to plan time to slot in..damn! same dateline how to manage to do both in 1 day. Why me? why not give to other who do not have the same dateline...thats why I said she have her way. I dun sound any. Sometime the data processing work is she think that easy....like the previous day I got 3 projects in same dateline, coz of some delay and happen crash up all in 1 day. I didn't complain it. As I know is not what I want. But those project having same date before hand dun pass to same person la..this is not the matter that I know how to plan my time or no..to others also they should know that not try to give same person to handle same project dateline.
Another complain is about one of my regional job timing given is very short all the time and the problem I have with the having-her-own-world and straight-forward Researcher. Hope this is improved and not carry forward to the next person in-charge of this project after I leave.
Good luck my colleague. Sometime is very fed-up facing the "fake" faces..whereby manager having own fav team and all circumstances happen to her fav team to "them" they still feel good coz got at the back got protector there. well I just do whatever drop on me now. I just wan to leave in peaceful. (^_^),v

Gemini employees can have difficulty concentrating on one thing for long periods of time. They have quick-moving minds and love to talk and communicate their ideas with others. They thrive on social interaction -- even if their jobs don't particularly support it. You'll be able to find them wandering from desk to desk gossiping about all the sordid news in the office. They can be powerful persuaders in their speech and make ideal salespeople and mediators. They love to negotiate and can work out the best Deal for everyone involved.
When properly stimulated, they can manage to keep their wandering mind focused and actually be quite productive. When they are bored, bogged down with mundane detail- work, or forced to work with people who they consider droll, they can become mean-spirited and gossipy. Their moods can fluctuate vastly day to day, as well as their productivity.
It is really against their nature to be forced into an average workday schedule and environment. They are happier traveling. lf they are in an office they will need constant new stimulation.
Most will be wanting advancement if they see this as a way to escape the limitations of their jobs. This can motivate them to put extra effort into their job. If you work with a Gemini, try to avoid getting into any debates with them - they will surely win and it could end in some hard feelings on your part. They will need an accepting environment-one that supports their need for multi-tasking.
Trial Yogilates at this Yoga Studio Tmn. Desa. Wow...many stretching and pulling steps...nothing is easy in Yoga. I don't like it, I still prefer those aerobics kind of classes. Coz can move and hip around, Yoga is repeat the same step many many time and need more focus. I not sweat as much like I have during classes workout.
Gain body ache after 1 day trial, especially my shoulder, arm and thigh part. Yoga movement is more focus on abdominal and spine.
Still remember I crazily join all contest on last issue of CLEO, guess what I got call up from them and I won myself 2 complementary passes to Fitness First for 1 day workout from 7am - 7pm, only can attend FF Damansara Uptown. Will go with Carol this Saturday. Well, although this is not the prize I wish for, great that have something also la..
Call up from Pretty Bows, for the leafs I ordered are reach. But, a bit dissapointed that they have all are red one, not a single piece in maroon, this coz by the production site..duh...well I will go and check out, if it match with the pink background which I'm going to have it then I'll take all.
Last weekend, I have pampered myself with facial treatment by my wedding makeup artist. Quite satisfied with her service and product. Today will join my fren to try out Yogilates (Yoga+Pilates) in Tmn Desa ..something new...well just go try out first.
Also, by this week, need get my invitation card material ready and print comfirm. House key hopefully can take it really get renovation on.
This week and next week need to get ready for annual dinner lucky draw prize...uuhh...nothing special almost the same like last year.
