Mourning Monday

Yes,that’s right! No typo and nothing wrong with your vision either. It was a typical Monday yesterday. I was preoccupied with work, and then suddenly I got a call from mum. She relayed a terrible, shocking news that left me broken-hearted and devastated for the rest of the day. *cry* Towards the evening, it rained heavily…as if mourning my loss ...*cry again* Hubby was also shocked when I told him that our beloved pet dog, CHEBONG has left us at such young age, 10 months in Dog Years .

Our Chebong was a hybrid dog, Dachshund + kampung breed. Very short legs, short hair, short snout and small ears.

I don’t remember when exactly these pics were taken, but probably when he’s 1 or 2 months old. I don’t have his grown-up pics though. He was born a few days after I delivered Vanessa. Maybe it is true after all that if we photographed our pet, it will shortened their life span...just like Urang Ranau mentioned in one of her older post. Anyway, look at how cute and adorable he is was…see I’m still referring to him in present tense. Just this morning, hubby called out his name before he realized that Chebong was no longer with us. *sigh* Need some time to get use to him not being around anymore. Yesterday morning, he was his usual self, playful and no sign of any illnesses, hearty appetite (finished up his meal and also the others’ meal). He must have eaten something poisonous or toxin that resulted to his sudden death, couldn’t find any other explanation.

But whatever it is, he will be TRULY, SADLY, DEEPLY MISSED BUT ALWAYS REMEMBERED by us and the neighbours. Now, I am still sad…but not as sad as yesterday. Maybe this is the reason some people never kept a pet…to avoid the heartache when their beloved pet left them *sob *

Now, in memory of Chebong, here’s are the 10 things I love about him :-

[1] cute ~ simply adorable

[2] big appetite ~ ever so helpful towards the others... to “clean” their bowl *smile*

[3] playful ~ chase after mum’s chicken with the others

[4] irresistible ~ even the cats loves to play with him

[5] outgoing ~ no shy-shy one

[6] clownish ~ never failed to make us laughed at his antic

[7] friendly ~ wont bite if his hair is stroked

[8] loud ~ some times his bark is too loud for his size

[9] curious ~ went upstairs to checkout the rooms

[10] mischievous ~ some times he took home garbage from neighbours

My Birthday Story

Added a year to my age…Am I a year WISER?? Errk, hope so. But wiser or not, I am DEFINITELY a year OLDER and…GRATEFUL that I am still breathing.

The celebration was the same as the years before...all in MODERATION. But this year’s a little DIFFERENT.

Actually, we (hubby, baby & me) celebrated it a day earlier…went jalan2 around KK, looking around for a nice dress to wear to a friend’s upcoming wedding & makan at Secret Recipe.

Anyway, here’s the chronology of event on Aug, 04: -

MORNING –Woke up early like usual, expect hubby to wish me “Happy Birthday”…nope, no wish from him. *sad* . He drove me to work…along the way still hoping he’ll wish me…nothing also. *disappointed * Towards noon, FINALLY, got his sms (after all the hint-hint *grin*…buruk o kan! )

NOON – Got a few SURPRISES from hubby! 1st, he took the day off (thought he was going to work after dropping me at office). 2nd, he sent a bouquet of FLOWERS to my office…I came out of washroom suddenly saw an antie (with sweat on her forehead…pity her, looked all around the building for my office..) sitting in front of my table with a bouquet in her hand, smiling, waiting for me. Me, couldn’t stop smiling, grinning & blushing...Thank You Dear! Colleagues got excited too. Cheers & wishes from them…probably they just realized that its my birthday! Doh?!…(Typical of them, you expect MALE colleague can remember our birthday meh?!) 3rd, he came to fetch me home… with BABY in tow…(normally, I took the bus, due to time constraint & the distance of our office plus the traffic jam…can’t wait for hubby, otherwise, baby at home miss her mommy too much already & pity my mum also, too tired taking care of baby for 9hrs, mum not young anymore…) Luckily, I DON’T HAVE to take the bus today. IMAGINE, me with the bouquet walking to the bus stand, people staring, who knows I may bump into somebody I know…errkk,malunya! Too much attention la wey…

NIGHT - 4th, opened the fridge & there is a CAKE for me…how sweet *smile * It ought to be one sweet day for me…Baby was kuai2 during the day, no complaint from mum. Then suddenly at NIGHT , baby became SUPER CRANKY, aiyah! She wants to cling on my waist saja, cry and refuse her daddy & grandma…until I cannot do the house chores. Until 9:00pm, she’s still awake, but took her to bed also, b/fed & lulled her to sleep…sang her all the kiddies songs I know…don’t know how many times I repeated the same songs, lost count already! Eventually, we BOTH fall asleep, didn’t realize what time though. Luckily, I am on leave next day, so I’ll do the chores tomorrow. * wink-wink*

So, that was my birthday story. Stale already by now, wanted to post it earlier but can’t find the time. Busy, busy, busy.

A Special Day

Today is Monday.
Today is August, 04.
Today is special.
Today is my birthday.

29 years ago, on this date
A healthy baby was born
With a pair of legs, hands, eyes, ears
One nose, one mouth, and a few strands of hair

She makes friends, she dated
She got engaged, she got married
She got pregnant, she gave birth
She become a mother herself

Now, with a family of her own
She journey through life
Embracing a new experience called motherhood
The ultimate challenge of a woman

No matter how young she is, no matter how old she is
In her mother’s heart, in her mother’s eyes
She is and always will be, the same baby girl
Born 29 years ago.

Fuming Friday

Arrrghh…got to get it off my chest! I’m pretty pissed off with our agent in Labuan since yesterday. (Pls refer previous post-Tag, Q&A No.10 & 11.) Spent half of my Friday with the same feeling.

Ok, here’s the scenario of my daily task to help you understand my distress…

[1] Received call/notification from HQ on New Case (any problem related to computers…)
[2] Assigned technician/agent (for outstation cases, e.g Labuan, Tawau, Sandakan etc.) to attend the case
[3] Tech/agent attend to the case, do whatever he has to do to resolve the case, issue a Service Report (SR) after job is done, keep me posted with the progress (time in/out, SR#, action/resolution taken etc…) via phone / e-mail / fax
[4] Me, update (key in data) the system from time to time...

This one particular guy is DIFFICULT to work with. Been asking about the details from him since few days ago regarding a case which happened last Friday.(Luckily, he did manage to solve the case on the same day though. *relief* ) This is the standard answer he gave me : SR not issued yet. Nantilah. Reminded him again, he said : Nanti petang sikit. Not in office now. Until I go off at 6pm yesterday, still nothing. Even smsed to remind him before I left.

Came to office this morning, hoping that he had e-mailed me the details. Guess what??? Yup, you’re right, still nothing, nil, zero, nada…*sigh* and HQ is already urging me to update the system. In fact, been nagging me since yesterday but what can I do, don’t have the details yet. FINALLY, I got his e-mail around 10am and had the system updated promptly. * Sigh with relief*. PEACE at last.

I really, really don’t understand how this guy does his job. If it is too much for him to e-mail, then tell me over the phone sajalah. He doesn’t have to spend a cent pun, cos I’m the one calling mah. What is so difficult?! I'm NOT even asking him for the hardcopy. The details is good enough already *sigh*

It will be A LOT easier if he issued the SR when he first attended the case and get it signed by the customer on that day itself. Rather than going back for 2nd time. Dua kali kerja. If only he got it done the first time, he should be able to give the details when asked for . I can update system on time. HQ happy. Everybody happy. End of story.

This guy probably gets fed-up with me for calling him several times in a day (only during office hour ok, otherwise he’ll think I’m stalking him pulak..) can tell from his voice mah.. But what to do, he ask for it. HQ nag me, I nag him back lor… If only he is more co-operative, then we wont have to go through all this CRAP. You see, NOBODY likes being nagged, its DAMN IRRITATING!

I’ve sent e-mail about the difficulty in working with this guy to one counterpart in the HQ. Don’t know how far it gets circulated. But, according to one senior colleague, the HQ people are aware of this guy’s working style. Apparently, all the Admin before me have faced the same situation. The reason he is still retained is that we are unable to find new agent in Labuan yet. So, have to bear with him...GOD HAVE MERCY…*faint*
