• Bad Flu Attack

  04.02.10 |Myself| Permalink | 2 Comments

  I am having a terrible flu, first day started a excruciating sore throat and headache. I slept early and next day, the sore throat was gone but my nose were stuff. I had a hard time sleeping because I cannot breathe. Headache was still on. Thank goodness, I got a MC.

  Third day, the nose is runny and stuffy but I still have to work to clear my stuff. Good thing, I can work from home.

  I still cannot breath with the stuffy nose. Then I remembered I got a bottle of nasal drop. Actually it was my children. I put a drop in each nose and miraculously it was clear. I could breathe again and slept like a log. Woke up, nose stuffy again. Sigh. Thank goodness it is Friday!

• Weird Dreams

  Once in a while I have the same weird dreams. I am not sure you have it too. I am always getting a full bladder and tried to locate a toilet. When I found one, it is usually dirty or it has no door. Worst is one time, I could not find any and I had to do it at some weird places. Do you have this kind of dream?

  Yes, when I wake up, 99% my bladder is full and I need the toilet. Once I even dream I did go to the toilet and urinated but my bladder was still full. Nope I didn’t urinate on my bed. It is really strange. Anyway, I will tried not to drink too much water before sleep to avoid these weird dreams.

• Catching Up With Reading

  10.23.09 |Myself| Permalink | Comments Off on Catching Up With Reading

  I am not a person who can read a book from cover to cover unless it is a comic book. I have read many books but never finished reading it. Most of the time I will scan read and skip chapters. Do you do that?

  
  
  

  However I need to read to learn the latest and upgrade myself. I have so many books that I want to read but I don’t have a lot of time. Look at the stack of books I have to read to prepare my big task next year. I am already sweating now. I have been called to take up the Sunday School as a superintendent. So pray for me.

  Not to mention, I also need to read books related to work. I am so glad with the technology today, I can just do a quick reading on the Internet for the latest techie news. Sad to say, many young people read a lot of stuff from the net but not actually reading a book. For me I still prefer the good old book.

  Now I wished there is an osmosis process to transfer the books stuff to my brain just like that. Ok I am dreaming…..

• Sleepy Time Zone

  10.07.09 |Myself| Permalink | Comments Off on Sleepy Time Zone

  I have a sleepy time zone. I get very sleepy when it is around 7pm – 10pm. The other day I had a meeting at 9:30pm and I was really sleepy at 8pm. I could hardly open my eyes. However I took a short nap but it was not sufficient. I had to wash my face.

  After the meeting, I was so alert and not sleepy. I can go on working till very late up to 4am. What’s wrong with me? Even if I sleep early at 9pm, I still get sleepy the next day at 7pm.

  Maybe I have the sleepy time zone. By the way, no matter how early I sleep, I still cannot wake up early in the morning. Yeah I am not a morning person. I am the owl!

• Not My Day

  Two days ago, someone called me up to say there is a big problem with his PC. He told me that all his web applications cannot run. He was blaming the network, he has to blame something right. It wasn’t the network as I tried accessing some URL and it was successful.

  Next, he told me it was the application problem. It cannot be because 3 web applications cannot run. After I did some troubleshooting, I found out the scripting doesn’t work on the browser. Conclusion, the browser was the culprit. I checked the setting to ensure scripting is enabled and even set the lowest security. The browser still remains problematic.

  After a few hours of troubleshooting and running out of workable idea, I asked him to install firefox. With firefox, all his web applications work.

  However, he still needs the IE to be fixed. Today basically I asked him to reformat the PC because the IE is corrupted big time. He even installed IE7 and still all his applications didn’t work. Funny thing is that there is no version, product id and info showing in the IE about box.

  Oh well, I didn’t give up and thought maybe reapplying XP Service Pack 2, it may get it to work. After applying the XP Service Pack 2, it restarted the PC. Now it is still in processing mode and never got to the login screen, after an hour. Bumma, now he really has to reformat the PC. It is just not my day with fixing things.

  I am still keeping my finger cross, that it will complete processing and go to the login screen. Tomorrow will be a new day!

  Today is the final workday for year 2008. I am not looking forward to year 2009 as you and I know, bad times have hit us. Let’s hope the economy will picked up and go back to normal.

  I will go off for Christmas and New Year break. However, my director just given the department a task to capture our holidays moments. Now I am really scratching my head on what I should take. Should I take a picture

  1. Of me sleeping?
  2. Of me having a good meal?
  3. Of me shopping?
  4. Of me relaxing in a SPA or near a pool?
  5. Of me sun bathing?

  Any good ideas? I am not told what the prize would be but he was serious about this task.

  Anyway, to everyone:

  Have A GREAT holidays! A Blessed Christmas! A Joyous New Year!

• Can’t Drink Coffee

  09.26.08 |Myself| Permalink | Comments Off on Can’t Drink Coffee

  Many people are addicted to coffee and my mom is one too. However I cannot drink coffee. I remembered when I was young, I was okay with coffee. It did no harm to me right until my University days. It happened one day when I had those boxed coffee drink with milk. I was sick for the whole day.

  After that, whenever I a sip coffee, I will be sick. I will feel nausea, heart pound faster and just not myself. I am not sure why but it seems that my body system cannot accept coffee. If you say it is caffeine but I can take coke or tea. What’s with coffee that I cannot take? Someone told me that coffee is too heaty for me.

  I do love the smell of coffee but just can’t take it. My mom can take coffee like 3 times a day. I wonder does my children have coffee problem.

  I just accidentally drank coffee as I speak because I thought the free cup coming from the vending machine was milk tea. Oooh I am going to feel sick. 🙁

  
  
  

• Felt The Pinch

  08.06.08 |Economy, Myself, School| Permalink | Comments Off on Felt The Pinch

  When petrol price went up, I didn’t feel anything. When food price went up, I didn’t feel anything. When café food went up, I didn’t feel anything.

  Today, I felt the pinch. This morning I didn’t have time to go for morning breakfast at my local kopitiam. I decided that I will go to office and get something to eat. First I went to the vending machine to get my usual cup of milo. I put in 60 sen and a cuppa of hot water came out. Darn vending machine was out of order. Never mind, I scroll down to my office convenient store to buy a small pack of 3-in-1 milo powder. It cost RM1.00 (40% marked up). I also went to the café to get a piece of marble cake, it costs another RM1.00. Total spend: Rm2.60 and my tummy still growling.

  I should have gone for the local mamak store, eat 1 piece of roti canai and a glass of teh tarik ice. Total cost: RM1.80 with a happy tummy. Sigh!

  People are suffering and what does our gomen doing? They are more concern with the darn politics and internal affairs. No one taking care of the haze (people’s health), no one taking care of the poor people, no one taking care of upgrading kebangsaan schools and the children education system. I feel more than a pinch!

• Rubik Cube

  I started playing Rubik cube when it was first introduce to public that was in 1980. I remembered mine came with a formula sheet. My brother and I learn the formula since then. I played it so much that I was told by the school prefect not to bring it to school.

  Anyway, the formula stayed with me all these years. There was one step I forgotten exactly how to do but I improvise. Oh I love solving this type of problem solving gadgets. It is fun and makes my adrenaline high. 😉

  
  

  
  

• Bad Habit

  I always like to buy milo or teh tarik from my office vending machine. However I have a bad habit. When I insert the coins to the vending machine, I like to insert the bigger coins first. It is not very smart of me to do because once the vending machine ate up my coins. End up, I will loosing the higher value money.

  I am trying to change my bad habit but sometimes the hand work faster than my brain. Lets hope I can train my hand to wait for my brain signal.
