Long Time.

Sorry readers...not been updating my blog for quite a while now. Been busy with the work and all and also adjusting to the fasting month. Its been very difficult the past few days especially when your body craves for food and ciggies. But its okay now. Sleepless, sorry about the planned hangout before puasa, time just flew by without realising. Nanti saja tah ah? And thanks for the wonderful comment.

Gadgetski must be already in the groove in his studies, Kambo must be studying like never before....oik kambo your blogs are deeeeeep man!!! sometimes I dunno what'chaaaaaaa (pinjam the slogan from gadgetski) talking about, 0013 is umm...where is he now ah? Jetsetting to his next destination I guess, Bob hope is enjoying his deserved vacation in Hengland, and I think the contractors for the site is screaming for updates.

Office life is less hectic now, as there are more employees. At the moment pretty much happy with the performance, but still need a couple of trainings before they are up to my requirements. At least I can have my mini breaks and have more time with my family.

Future looks pretty much okay, and I must stay on top of things, otherwise alot will be lost and I dont deserve it. Time flies and its already September. I must have my small vacation with my family in December as I promised them. I think we deserve a nice vacation by the end of the year. It has been quite hectic year, full of surprises and some disappointments, but hey...as they say C'est La Vie! (This is Life!)

I think my french lingo is gone and lost forever. I dont think I will be able to pick it up much anymore. Talking of picking up....when the heck am I going to do my exercises huh? Konon kan main golf semula starting puasa ani!?!?! Mana? Mana? Indaaaa ada....nah nah nah.....! It never came around. Will try lah. Dunno when, but definitely will have to try.

Maaan so many things to do but so little time.... Bah till next time....Adios Muchachos and senoritas whoever you may be!

My thoughts at the moment.....

I know its been a while since I last wrote. Been extremely busy with projects and all in KB & bandar and been working late into the night and had a severe migraine 3 days ago which didn't want to go away after taking panadol a couple of times. It only went off like 4am in the morning. And by that time, I had to wake up at 7 in the morning to do the work in office all over again. So it was not really a pleasant day to start off with.

Yes, I guess I am overworked and awkwardly inefficient at this time and I guess I need to hire good people around me to help half my work and give me some time with my family.

I had a medical check up on the 3rd of September and even with my prescription of 2 high blood pressure pills, my blood pressure is still high at 150/100 and the Doctor prescribed me a different pill to take together with my current pill. That means 3 pills altogether to be taken for the day!

Here are my thoughts of the moment:

- To establish a Support Operations team for my company to do the logistics, the accounts and the general management of the company

- To hire Technical Operations team and do the maintenance, projects and other technical matters and fire the useless immediately.

- To start doing activities as soon as possible to lower my high blood pressure and my overall well-being.

- To open up my ground floor to the public by providing real coffee beans brewed coffee, tit bits, cybercafe and a mini mart functionality for daily income.

- To set up my office properly to cater for newcomers and project managers both local or foreign.

- To get additional servers to cater the company setup

- To think of a good school for my daughter to give her all her available options for her future. Her current school is very good no doubt providing her with an excellent foundation, but I am more worried on her religious training, her mother tongue and the opportunity work her way to the best school the government can offer; ie the Science School and her govt scholarship opportunities.

- The upcoming projects in KB which will make me go haywire in my current setup unless the above is implemented.

GROAN!

My girl got her yellow!

8th September 2007

My girl got through her Taek Won Do test, remembered all her moves was promoted to Yellow belt! Good going my dearest! Both babu & ayah is so proud of you!

Aside from her Taek Won Do, she was promoted to the next intermediate level in her ballet at Studio Scene early this year, and she joins in Art Classes too. Poor babu tired out mostly sending & fetching you from your extra-curricular activities. But those are the sacrifices we have to make to make sure you have your fun and life full of your chosen activities.

In a Swimming Competition (Brunei Swimming Club Competition) for the first time....

2nd September 2007

My poor lil' 5 year old daughter suddenly stopped 3/4 of a way out of a 50 meter free style swimming competition for the category 9 years and under whilst being in 2nd position with only half a stoke away and catching up to a 9 year old girl in front of her(the girl who eventually ended up with 6 medals for the under 9 category). Her choking on water had her stopped half way to the finish line in which she could easily have won, but she pushed herself till the finishing line eventually coming in 4th. She also lost the 4X50meters relay due to one of her team mates didn't touch the wall.
With support from her parents and grandparents, her cousins and Aunts, even her coaches, we were routing and cheering for her shouting with enthusiasm. We were disappointed in the end nevertheless we were all very proud of what she could have achieved and her determination to finish a tough race considering that she was the youngest in the group, albeit the youngest to represent the Brunei National Swimming Scheme.
My dearest daughter, I know how disappointed you may feel, but its just a step up to your future. There is always many other opportunities later on as both babu and ayah knows that you have done your best and we know what you can achieve and proud of your determination. Just by being chosen to represent the National Scheme at your age is already amazing as it is and we will always support you whatever you do. Even ayah, uncle Sham and and Uncle Kambo didnt get to do what you did at your age. So chins up baby, you do us all proud!

I will not overlook the possibility of lawyers or even media involvement, because after years of experience, I don't know of any shame. You think I care? I have every right to be pissed off!
