你相信人定胜天，还是冥冥中自有安排？
我想像自己坐在世界的角落，像一只飞得累了的倦鸟，静静地看这世界的每一个动脉。看看人们如何为生活打拼，而我，却如置身事外，冷眼看世界。
后来倦鸟发现，自己怎么会微笑，怎么会掉泪？ 原来，自己从来没有离开过这个纷扰的世界。不要再自欺欺人了。

No Boss Day
Today my department is NBD! Don't know what is NBD? Oh...u must know this term. It means a NO BOSS DAY.
My bosses are having the GAC meeting in new HQ. We came in at 9am and all gaher near to our workstation and talk talk talk...all about dogs! It was started with Yan Tze brought in a doggie travel bag to second sell to Daphne. She bought the bag at more than RM100 and not using it anymore. It is still in a very good condition, almost look like a new one. So she is selling that bag to Daph. Then we talked about dog foods, dog house, dog mating process, and ...... tons of dog stories. It was, of course, never ended that fast untill around 10:30am. See how well a bunch of ladies can talk when they share common interest. No wonder there's a Chinese proverbs said:"2 ladies = a bunch of ducks!"

Unleash
I figured I can't always control Hilton by the leash since he is growing bigger each day. So, I started to let Hilton to walk around the neighborhood alone these days. He is now learning how to avoid from hitting by vehicles, not to border people passing by, and do not enter to others' houses.
In fact I should have let him learn all these when he was little. I was too protective and was so worried he would be hit by car. Now that he is so bg in size, people would rather scared he would attack. So far, Hilton has shown his friendliness to everyone, except one or two who attempted to hit him, and he was tried to defense by a few barks.
He looks really enjoy walking unleash because he has the freedom of movement and can run reallly fast from one end to another. You could see him resting relaxfully on the floor after the walk. And then fall asleep with snoresssssss...... :P

Hilton
After telling so many depressing stories, I think it's time to cheer up a bit by my gorgeous baby - Hilton!
He loves smelling the flowers...The owner could be worried of the flowers being eat by this big fellow. :P3As Agency?
The agency has really get on my nerves! What kind of client service is that? It's sucks!
Do you have an agency that works for you before which always need you to remind them on the deadline, call them to find out the outcome, if not they will never call back,....?
Me: Ms M, may I have your staff Ms. Mel's handphone number? (she was not in the office)
Ms M: Oh yeah, we just came out from a meeting and I will get her to call u.
So I was waiting for one hour, no one call me to follow up. And finally, I get on hold of Ms. Mel.
Me: Hi there, have you saw my email?
Ms. Mel: I have not look into it yet. What's that?
Me: ...the insert design, I have forwarded the changes requested by our partner to you earlier and told Ms M to get you call me asap. Anyway, can you look into it and get your creative people to revert to me asap.
Ms. Mel: I have to see how much is the changes, (sounds so impatience) ...
Me: You know that we are meeting deadline today and every minute we missed is the cause of delay. Could you please go through it now?
Ms. Mel: ......
Then, we both hung up the phone. And, I waited for another 20 minutes she didnt call me back (in my email, I reminded her a few times to call me before go ahead with the changes, as I have to explain to her before she goes wrong with it). So, I pick up the phone and ring her again.
She then sounded very impatience and said: I have already passed them to the creative team, what else that is not mentioned?
.......................................
Can someone assume that they know if they in fact dont really know what are the requirements? Is that how the 3As agency should work?
I believe the quality of staffs, the client services of the company is more important on top of all. Dont you think so?

看病
生病窝在家里无所事事，好多的回忆自然重现脑海里。
犹记得我刚到美国时，生病了，不能立刻看医生，还要和医生预约，而且不是每个医生都会愿意给你看病，必须是自己注册的医生。 那时，我自己开车到另一个小镇去。 到了那里才发现原来如此。 后来，Mary给我和他的医生预约，我又开车到另一个小镇去。看完医生，还要开车另一个小镇去买药。 程序有够复杂了吧。
现在想想，好像马来西亚的生活简单多了。至少生病时如此。

郁金香
生病的时候，天空是灰色的。
所以我把紫色郁金香搬来， 为灰色的天空增加一点色彩。
心中有个小小的梦想，希望漫游在一望无际的郁金香园里，呼吸它独有的芬芳。累了，就躺在花海里休息片刻；渴了，就以郁金香的花瓣盛水喝。
你也曾有过那么一个梦吧？

妈咪不理我
还好下了一场雨，短短十分钟，把空气里的尘埃洗去。 天气不见得凉爽， 但始终比较没那么热了。 我昏昏迷迷地睡了两天， 醒来吃药， 上厕所， 然后又回到房里休息。 Hilton 看了觉得奇怪，“为什么妈咪都不理我了”。
两度我到楼下去，发现它把我的豆奶都喝光了，还把整个客厅都弄得脏兮兮的。 最令我头痛的是它把整个晒衣架都弄翻过来。 它真够创意吧？
刚刚把它关进笼子里时， 它还给我一个好不情愿的表情。 看来它是真的太无聊了！

Risk Management Plan
My half working day today was spent on a Divisional Management Meeting and a big part of it was discussed about the Risk Management Plan. Out respected GM has ran through the brief of RMP a month ago and tasked all the department head to come out with a RMP for their respective department.
Mo was not in that 'education' section and I was told to convey the message to her. And that was a while ago we have completed the so call draft of our RMP and was forwarded to our big brother in the same team. Today, we came to this session where Mr RO wants to go through the RMP of each dept in front of everyone. Everyone here always refer to those who are in the meeting only. There's two new member in this division and therefore, the RMP session has unexpectedly dragging longger due to alot of objections and explaination and bla bla bla... It is, very tiring. But, if you see it from another angle, it's quite interesting. Some were quite neutral towards the ideas, some were quite opinionate, and some were quite offensive...and some...dunno. So,..it was a great session!
Another thing which I found interesting is different people looking at same thing differently. Some suggested that we should rephrase the sentence, the English is improper, ...but some commented that the meaning is understood as we are not in the English class, we don't have to be that particular in the way we write..... hmmm...I started to think I am one of the neutral fellow.
And I am now have to stay back in the office to edit my RMP so that it looks more like it is what it suppose to be. You dont know what I;m talking about? Doesn't matter here..it's just a diary anyway :) You dont have to scratch your head for this little matter

Life Values
Today at work, Ms N brought in a set of pokker card from her Leadership training. She insisted to let us pick the cards and see how much we (the whole team) share the same values in life. It has started with Ms M. I was the second one to pick my cards.
First I have filtered all the cards and put aside all the irrelavant cards. It's not easy to choose only 6 cards that represents your own values. I have 7 or 8 cards that I think are all important for me. Without dragging too long, I put away the Volunteering/charity and kept another 7. Then I had another problem choosing between Fun and Wisdom. I think Wisdom is very important but without Fun in life is very sad for a life. ... So, I chosed Fun. The last step was to choose 3 most priority within the 6 important values. And here are what I have chosen:
1) Family -family first
2) Balance - balance between work life and personal times
3) Passion - enthusiasm to things in life
4) Courage - willing to take step for the possible risks
5) Simplicity - being simple in life
6)Fun - enjoy life to the fullest
Some of them took such a long time to pick the cards. Mine was quick, only take me less than 5 minutes. I think I have the sense of what I want in life.

"Lao Su" - The mickey mouse
Hilton understand what is call 'Lao Su' in Mandarin instead of all other language. He doesnt understand 'rat', 'mickey mouse', .. but when I say in Mandarin, he immediately alert and would search everywhere for the rat. I love to see his face expression and reaction when he hear:"Lao Su"!
Then he would act like a big boy protecting mommy, wanna to catch it.

If I have to leave him
3:20am The idea of probably have to seperate with Hilton scared me. I woke up from dreams and tears was already flowing on my face. Again, the question of what do I pursuing in life appear to me. If I'm to be an ultimate traveller, I don't seems to be able to keep a dog, untill the day I settle down myself. But when will that be? I don't know.
For this uncertainty, am I going to give him away? There were many times before that I had an idea of giving him up; when he was tremendously destroyed my home furnitures or my belongings; when he didn't understand he shouldn't bite me or anyone. But I swayed that I would never gave him up. He is my child. My little one who is the most loyal to me no matter what, because he has only one person in life who love him and spoiled him. It's me.
For some people, this is sounds ridiculous! They don't understand the bond between an animal and a human being can be such strong and the love is so deep. Well, I can still remember how Ozzy was when the day when I am leaving Boston, most probably leaving his life forever. Tears was in his eyes that I saw so obvious he was depressed.
I still remember when I had little talk with my good friends in Boston: The human can talk on the phone or email, but Ozzy can't read and write u an email even if he miss you. He can only keep everything to himself, in the bottom of his heart!
But it was still okay for me to leave Ozzy because his family is still there with him. They love him. But who is here for Hilton if I'm leaving? I am the only family and only one for him.
God, can you show me what to do? I'm going to kiss him up, in the middle of the night now, to give him a big hug!
