miss mot

if times can really travel back, i will stay in Mot. though the pay is not my expectation.

after starting work at the new place, i realise money can't buy happiness..the happiness that Mot environment and colleagues could give, i can't get anymore.

so what i have the extra $$, when time is so hard to pass?

for eg, my manager was late and busy whole day that till 2pm, she managed to show me on how to use the system. Not forgetting to mention that she was on leave today without informing me or getting anyone to guide me.

thank goodness that i was smart enough to approach the temp girl(who was currently doing my role while i catch up) and another Business Unit Customer Service officer. and i learn more stuffs about this co. No AWS bonus for the past 2 yrs cos the co. is not doing well.

What kind of Bullsh** is this? AWS is complusory! this is the 1st time i heard such f***ing nonsense! I can't wait to leave this place. But no choice, I'm waiting for the bank to approve the loan so i need to hold on for another week.

Job search engine is on..anyone got a job for me?

my last day/dad is ok!!

Today is my last day in Motorola after being here for 3.5 yrs. This morning when I came in, I saw a gift on my desk and it was from one of the engineering manager whom I used to support during my admin days. The note state "Keep in touch Elaine, I will miss you".



Suddenly, tears flow down in my heart. I told myself not to cry today. I will still meet they all as and when I dropped by. The U9 banner supposed to come in only next week but my colleagues are getting the vendor to send in today so that I will be able to take a picture with the banner and team. All these small little things that they did really touched my heart. I felt so proud of myself and at the same time, agreed that I am lucky to have these people as my colleagues and friends. I felt appreciated.


Not forgetting that these people have been taking turns to buy me farewell breakfasts, lunches, dinners and drinks. Thank you all! (if you happen to read my blog)


And another good piece of news just came in. Dad felt chest pain so the dcotor told him to do another scan again via the microscope to his arteries. And the check will cost $800. So it's not a normal small checkup. But my brother just text me and said that Dad is ok, everything is normal.

I don't feel convinced so called up my dad.


Me: So how, what did the doctor say?
Dad:He said I'm ok, everything's normal.
Me:Then, what's the pain about?
Dad:Doc said the chest will be tight at times. So what's the purpose of your call?
Me: To ask about you lah.
Dad: Oh, that's nice of you! thank you!


Imagine my dad said thank you for the daughter to call and ask about his check up? He must be insane to say thank you to me.


Anyway, since the last April when he was admitted for the minor op to ballon his artery, Mum has been controlling his diet and I had been checking on my dad's meal as and when I am around.

good article to share

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, 'How do I know if I married the right person?' I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, 'It depends. Is that your husband?' In all seriousness, she answered 'How do you know?' Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind. Here's the answer. EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse / partner . You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies (unconventional behavior/habit). Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called 'falling' in love... Because it's happening TO YOU. People in love sometimes say, 'I was swept of my feet.' Think about the imagery of that __expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU. Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria (excitement) of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage. At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, 'Did I marry the right person?' And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't 'find' LASTING love. You have to 'make' it day in and day out. That's why we have the __expression 'the labor of love.' Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work. Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage. Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can 'make' love. Love in marriage is indeed a 'decision'... Not just a feeling. Remember this always:

'God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.'

miss you all

9 more days to my final day in Mot.. Really miss my colleagues and pals here..my breakfast, lunch, kopi, beer, ktv kakis.

They are super nice to me. And they have been saying words like "do you really bear in leaving us?" or "the happy moments are over soon". I'm really worried that my new colleagues were be the same like them..the jokes and fun we had.

Sad.

babies

To confess:

Yes, me and hubby got married because we felt it's time to add in members to our lives..Love is not about the 2 of us, it also about having babies and bringing them in as new members.
Frankly speaking, I'm kinda sad as we have been married for almost 3 mths but there isn't any good news..i know if i'm too stress, the chance of getting baby is lesser. But I just couldn't stop thinking abt it! Esp, every wkend when i play with my baobei nephew, and when i talked to Mummy Cynthia while she looking after her boy and girl..
