My Weekend

The Man is gone for two days badminton tournament. The boy is down with fever. He screamed when I wanted to turn to NTV7 for my weekly, my only show, my 1:30 pm Grey's Anatomy. I only get to see it at 2:00, when his lids finally closed.

I switched on and Meredith was already taken out from the water by McDreamy. He fought for her life, then she was shoved into the ER. (So, you always get to be pushed out the ER when it is the one you loved inside there0 All the best guys were there, Chief, Bailey. Burke came a bit late with Shepherd's ex wife, while McDreamy was totally out of control until the steamy-Mark-Sloane came and held his shoulder, then he cried. Totally sad! But the men look steamier when they were sad.

I cried when Alex pasted on the board all the picture of the deads and the family broke down when they could ID them. It was overwhelming.

Chrstina didn't get to tell Meredith that she was finally engaged, that was why she was so sad. I immediately rememebered a special someone who wrote that one day when we were old and watching our grandkids playing, we will find out that we will regret things that we didn't say more than the things we did. Lebey kurang lah. Then I remember from the My Best Friend's Wedding (that still remain my favorite all time), "Say it, say it right there, or the moment will pass".

The doctors are also forgetting the war of the Chief-post. Shepherd is totally accepting that Burke is the best (which I agreed that Burke is the smartest and the best) when Burke came in to him knowing that Meredith is in the ER.

"She's in there".
Shepherd was silence, nodded his head. God his eyes were so sexy!
"What do you need ?", Burke.
"I need you to go in there".

This time, it ended as Meredith in a room with Denny Dequette (which Gartblue finds sexy and I cannnot really understand why) and the bomb guy. Tapi sure tak mati punyalah!

See you guys sometime.

10 Things I Hate About The New Boss

1. He showed his watch to us and said, 'This is not a real rolex, this is lolex only'. Everybody knows he doesn't buy cheap stuff.

2. He stayed away from us when we ate the durians claiming that it is making him nauseatic.

3. He said, "I want to instill the spirit of excellence performance in your mind" the very night we stayed up late just to welcome him after the BOD meeting and do his stupid post mortem.

4. He walked away when he is supposed to be the open forum panel. Takut la tu orang tanya pasal contracts! Penakut.

5. He walked away when he is supposed to be the open forum panel and told us that he just got to be there for a meeting with Legal. Everybody knows that the Legal dept is not CEO whose meeting can't be rescheduled. Penakut and ingat pandai.

6. He treated our VP, whom he had just found out that is the same grade of him, very badly. He didn't sit with him on the bus, he walked away freely macam tu je without properly escorting the VP. Kesian pulak tengok Dato' VP jalan sorang sorang.

7. He loves overseas trips. He tries to arrange as many that he can. Be it the 'fact finding mission' or the stupid FIDIC. People in procurement told me that he's been trying to arrange for overseas trips for FIDIC which is not neccesary.

8. He, after his 100th day, still didn't request for us to brief him explicitly of all the contractual terms. What he knows then?

9. He berlagak pandai in the price negotation meeting. Then bile kena hentam with suppliers on some facts, he stumbled.

10. He made us do 5S but look at his room, boxes laying around unpacked.

But when I looked at his face that was in pain, and thought of his lonely live without kids, I immediately feel the pang of sympathy in my heart towards him. Kesian gila tengok dia. Lonely, in pain and most apparently, not likeable.

Tough eh!

This Year Coal Retreat

I was around! I was around!

Been busy running the yearly retreat. I wrote about that two years ago, I wrote about another one last year. This year, I think, is the most efficiently organized.

I wrote Sihin a speech for dinner. In the dinner so-called-appreciation-speech, I made him thank Ida. Both were thrilled. Ida was thrilled. I think she deserved that.

I look fabulous during Dinner! hehe.. Ajin came over to do make-up for Ena and I joined in afterwards. She only spent like, twenty minutes, on my face and voila! I looked different. Everyone stopped (even the VIP table) talking and looked at me when I came in. I think I look too white and my hair was funny. Enjoyed it, anyway. Gartblue is the only mom-of-four who came and she looked like she was enjoying herself! Yang perempuan lain, tak nampak muka.

Jalilah (not a real name) was a realy bitch to us. First, she didn't help at all. Then, she didn't allow her staff help. Then she made us do that stupid 5S meeting and urged us for a minutes of meeting to be delivered to her on Friday, the day where we ran like cicak kudung making sure all the papers are organized accordingly into the folders.

Hodilay Villa Hotel (not a real name) was also a real pain to us. First, they told us that there will be a wedding a night before the conference. I always spent the night rearranging the laptops and wires and testing the AVs and all, but told my guys that we'll start at 11 pm after the dinner is over. However, at 9pm, we realized that there wasn't any dinner! I didn't want to fume much, we started right on and stopped at 2:30 something. I made everyone rehearsed and went through the programme over and over again.

I thank God that it went smooth, anyway.

After All These Years, I'm Still In Love With

Vince

He is the first winner of Akademi Fantasia.

His every concert in AF was absolutely fantastic. His voice, his dance, and most of all that I like is he enjoyed every bit of it. That is sincere. That is the true entertainer.

Amazingly, his video clips are even more enjoyable. There are stories in every of the clips. I know, the stories are lame, but it is better viewed rather than the clips where singer stood around a lake and sing or shake her booty.

After all these years, I'm still in love with him. Simply because I enjoyed the way he shows his passsion and his true soul. Bring me another winners, but everytime I watched his video clips, I still melt.
