决战保龄球

星期五晚,公司举办了一场保龄球赛,眼见工作伙伴们都兴致勃勃,我也不顾背痛的困扰,报名去也。
到了球场,才发现这是一场团体赛,每球队都以F1车队命名。我这才忧心起来,若我表现不好,连累队友,那该如何?于是,立即明察暗访,来个“大起低”, 经过一番努力,把形势弄清后,
我的心才开始定下来。结论 - 我这组“法拉利”其实一点都不“法拉利”,除了衣服颜色像以外,实力相去甚远,简直是一组杂牌兵,要赢比赛,谈何容易。

比赛开始后,大家都各展所长,用尽十八般武艺,在球场上厮杀。这时,我才放下的“忧心”又开始不安分了,原来我是彻彻底底不可能进行这项运动的。一开始把手中的保龄球举起的动作还好,但接下来一连串的动作对一个有背疾的人来说,简直就是恶梦。要有效的让滚出的保龄球维持直线,击中保龄樽;又要顾及保护背部,将疼痛减到最低点,对我来说可是相当吃力,结果我的得分是超低的,三场的总和只有161。

比赛结束后,大会公布成绩,蛮意外也挺讽刺的,他们不只是宣布了最高分的团队及个人,他们也公布了分数最低的男女参赛者。

当然,我是入围竞选最低分的男参赛者之一,最后也不负众望,很荣幸夺得个人有史以来最特别的奖项及RM50.00的奖励。

Making A Call

Make a call seems like an easy job. Pick up the phone, dial the number, then either get connected, and talk to the person; or can't get the person due to line busy, no service and etc.

How about when you really need to talk to someone, and you couldn't get him? Due to some project issues, I need to discuss with the project manager who based in Myanmar. Made a call on Thursday afternoon, was told it was Myanmar public holiday, the Project manager is not in office, and advise me to call his mobile in Myanmar. Unfortunately can't get through.

Drag til this morning, tried the office number again, and realized the project manager is actually back in Malaysia for holiday, and will be back in Myanmar on coming Saturday. Since it is so urgent, I tried to call the rest to see if any of them got his KL mobile number, and seems like no one has his contact. Finally got his secretary, and realize he is on the flight to Bangkok. Finally got his Thailand mobile number, and will give him a call in a short while when he departures in Bangkok.

Gosh, have you ever try to call a person using 3 countries number in 24 hours??

Renovation

As mentioned earlier, planning to move into new condo, so lots of things got to do. For the past 2 months, besides struggle with works, how to use my limited budget to built up my dream house is also one big task.

Caryn and I have lots of quarrel on to the renovation, from kitchen cabinet to prayer cabinet, from plaster ceiling to painting. Every little thing can be the cause of quarrel. It was frustrating, and very demotivating. However, I guess we both learnt a lot from these quarrel. In a way, it did helps to strengthen our relationship.

I guess, this renovation plan not only about the house, it is also about our soul.

FAT

When you see this title, what will you think?
People who works in my industry will probably know FAT is actually stand for Factory Acceptance Test.
Recently, we are preparing very hard on FAT for one metering system involved 3 parties, Myanmar, Malaysia and Thailand. This week we have started with the testing, and struggled with the customer. It is quite frustrated because these people don't really have confident in us because their initial plan is to get UK vendor to execute the job. So, they have tonnes of questions and comments while the testing is being performed. These has slowed the progress, and we were the one who were blamed.
Really hope FAT can be completed as smooth as possible, and get the system delivered to Myanmar on time.
p/s : I will normally turn "fat "after FAT, any idea why? :)

5 minutes of a day

That day left a comment in friends blog, complaining too much work load, too little time to write blog, or maybe too tire to write blog. Then, he has suggested just to take a few minutes from lunch time to write a few words.

Guess, it is quite true, short or long doesn't really matter, the content does.

Just like our life, to be forever young, or to be immortal isn't that important; most important is to live a meaningful life.

Salute to those who has contributed their life to the world.
