someone irritating..

One question.. What type of person is irritating you? Or should I ask what type of person is most irritating you?

I have working in my current job for 2 months, knowing some new colleagues which are friendly and helpful.. been joining them for lunch almost every day and so far still getting quite well along.. there is a guy who is very popular in our floor because he is a super talkative and humorous, always make jokes around with others and making everyone laugh.. honestly at the beginning I am quite enjoy to chat and joke with him, but time passing.. I found that he is quite a busybody person, who likes to talk something bad about others behind, not really respect others especially to ladies, and almost everyone also he wants to command, not sure what he has commended about me behind. . haha!! Honestly he is quite irritating me now, although we all are still going lunch together but I will just listen to them and try to talk less and giving command..

Beside him, there is another colleague also having the same attitude like him who like to give nick names to others and like to talk something behind others .. in my work I have to duel with him quite often so I can’t ignore him, what I can do is just talk about works and less talking about others.. he is one of my lunch partner also..

Nowadays, I didn’t join them for lunch that often.. I have going out with other colleague in the same floor who never join us for lunch.. although they are not that talkative and joking but I feel comfortable with them and we can even chat something else beside talking bad and busybody of others..

I can’t say that I am not a busybody person but to me there is always a limitation, once crossed my border than I will feel irritating and even feel bad for myself.. there are lot of other thing to talk and discuss but not just talking about bad thing of other people..
It is good to have communication between colleagues but at is it is a more healthy one .. Bless!!

my very first deployment..

I am required to back to office to do the deployment last Saturday morning at 730am.. (OMG!! 730am..!!) it is much earlier than my usual working hours and moreover it is on Saturday, one of the day that only I can sleep late.. anyway I have no choice but must come because my colleague got something on and she couldn’t make it..
Getting a bit nervous because this is the first time that I do deployment alone without my colleague around.. it is a deployment into production system so it anything goes wrong, by no choice we have to perform a fallback to roll the system to the status before the deployment.. so, frankly, quite stress..!!

I can’t really sleep well on Friday night, going to bed around 12+ and woke up at 6am.. reached office around 715am and I am the first one arrive.. another colleague from another unit will be here with me because she is the one hold all the user IDs.. so she is in on time and we manage to start the deployment at 730am.. in fact we can start at 8am but I requested her to be in 30 mins earlier because it is my first time doing and I may need extra time and just want to make sure I won’t make any mistake and do it slowly and safely..

Everything going quite smooth and we manage to complete everything by 915am and users are expecting to use the system at 930am.. we are 15 mins ahead and no users calling and chase us .. haha!! Anyway the first time is going well.. I am sure there will be lots coming, one thing I just hope that they won’t put the deployment on Saturday morning again but make it during weekdays morning.. I need my beautiful sleep over the weekend..

Mt. Bromo

It’s time to think and maybe plan for my trip again for this year.. due to the current economy crisis, so definitely can’t go somewhere far and expensive.. so the budget of the trip is about 1.5k to max 2k, it depends where I go and how is the shopping there..

So far, we have booked the tickets somewhere mid of June to Bangkok with friends.. Bangkok always be the first choice when I planned for a short and cheap trip.. this gonna be my 7 or 8 bkk trips already, haha!! What I love most is the foods there, which is much tasty, much cheaper than here.. the bazaar there is much more interesting than here too, the variety is like 100 times more than here, haha!! And the people there also very friendly.. opps.. I shouldn’t compared bkk and here too much.. but the most important is still airasia always offers cheap fare to bkk, haha!!
We all are expecting the bkk trip in June for foods, shopping, massages and etc… for my 2 girlfriends, sure they all getting very excited to buy some gym wears which have more designs and cheaper than here and also their inner wears which they have spent hours there to select their inner wears in ‘La Sensa’ in our previous trip, haha!!

My colleague has forwarded me an email about a place in east Java, Indonesia – ‘Mt.Bromo’ the active volcano which not really known by lot of locals, honestly I only known this place after the email from him.. he proposed a trip there somewhere in Nov, and the good news is airasia has flight direct to Surabaya which is the nearest city to the volcano.. beside the volcano, there is a Hindu temple at the bottom of the mt and also there is sand sea which cause by the eruption of the valcono.. from the photos he attached in the email looks damn beautiful and great thing is to hike up to the peak early morning, reached the peak in the morning to see the beautiful sunrise.. must bring a nice camera to snap some beautiful sunrise photos.. we are planned for the trip in Nov and just hope airasia can offers cheap fare to Surabaya and can help us to save some for the trip.. for more infor of mt.

meetings..

I am attending more meetings recently.. for most of the meetings that I have attended so far, I just a listener because I am just in the job less than 2 months, so lot of things I am still not that familiar, and usually I am just there and listen to them..

I have to say that most of them who attending meeting would like to express themselves very much to get attention, especially in the project meeting with users.. after 2 project meetings with users, omg!! I can really see how those users push their responsibilities and chase IS to solve their outstanding issues.. usually people are talking quite loud in the meeting, and there will be a small groups discussing among them in the meeting.. why they have to talk so loud? Try to get more attention? Or just to make they more powerful to push others to work for them..?? or they are frustrated of the pending of outstanding issues? Or… I dunno.. I notice that one of the young lady (maybe in her late 20s or early 30s) who are really hot tempers and easily raise up her voice in the meeting, my colleague told me that have to be alert to her because of her characters.. on the other hand, another lady who also attending meeting who are more professional in the way she talks and cooperation..

Actually in a meeting we can see how professional the person is and how cooperate he/she with others and of coz we also can see that person characteristics.. It is really noisy in the meeting and I am sure those noise really can make someone getting more stress.. so far I am still ok with those noise, but once I am getting more involve into the project, sure those noise going to be very annoying and sure will feel stress and dislike to attend meetings..

red wine..

Last weekend was a busy working weekend for me because of system cutover and user testing.. I work till 12 something mid night in Saturday night and back to office at 8 morning in Sunday, really not enough sleep.. my mind and my body both are completely tired when I am back to office in Sunday morning and what make it worst is the air con is not working over the weekend, the whole floor is only rely on one unit of air con, although we all are wearing like going to beach, with short, t-shirt and slipper, but still feel very warm inside the office, luckily only 6-8 of us here, if everyone are here than I really can’t imagine the heat here..

I left office in the afternoon and leave to gym to attend bodystep class, trying out the new release and it is so-so only, not really like the songs of the new release, none of the song really impress me.. anyway I am still quite enjoy it because first time doing and the instructor on the stage is fun and bitchy, haha.. (you know who you are, dude..)

After gym, I attend my close buddy – JC birthday dinner in Hakka restaurant.. ZZ brought a bottle of red wine to cheers.. as usual the foods there are great and we does enjoyed the red wine very much.. I am a lousy drinker, I felt quite high although just a few glasses.. I still felt high when I reached home that night, and also a bit dizzy and like wanna faint when doing my iron.. I guess could be the red wine and not enough sleep..

Slept quite well that night, but still feel a bit dizzy next day morning.. the thing only gone and my mind is only clear after my lunch, haha.. so next time it is better to have red wine on Friday or Saturday night than I can sleep till enough the next day..

EARTH HOUR - 28Mar2009 - 830pm to 930pm

28/8/09@830pm is EARTH HOUR.. Please turn off light for an hour 830pm-930pm..!! I am not really clear about the history of EARTH HOUR, but I do remembered I saw in newspaper 2-3 years ago where Sydney was the first country which support this activity where the photo show the opera house and harbor bridge lights all were turned off for an hour..
This activity seems getting more popular now where more countries are participating in this activity, even in Malaysia.. this year, a lot of turn off light activities in EARTH HOUR.. lot of malls or landmarks are participating too, emails are forwarding to remind people to participate for EARTH HOUR too.. few of my friends are getting very excited to turn off light for an hour, wondering why?? Haha..!!

For myself, I will participate if at that hour I am at home.. I have been informed that I have to back to office to work on Saturday afternoon and I was telling my friend that I will turn off the light at 830pm for an hour even in the office.. hehe!! Of coz I wish I no need to stay till so late.. in fact, I really pass the EARTH HOUR in office with few of my colleagues, we did turn off light at 830pm, but juz for a few minutes because we need to continue our works, can’t see the keyboard, haha!!

We did look out from the window during EARTH HOUR, we can see the KL Tower is turn off, only left a few small lights on the top.. of coz street and traffic lights are still on.. not completely dark.. well, hope the EARTH HOUR will still be popular next year, and I hope I no need to turn off office lights next year, haha!!

losing a bit weights..

My friends said I am getting slimmer lately, I not really noticed that, it could due to I am busy in work and don’t have time to go gym.. I have more time in gym when I am with my previous job, usually I can make it 5 times a week in gym.. but with the new one, I can only make it 2 times a week during weekdays and it getting worst past 3 weeks where I have to stay and work till almost 10pm everyday.. no gym, no pump muscles, no cardio, no running..

Another reason it could be I have my dinner earlier now, usually I will go out to get something to eat or dinner around 6+ before I continue to work.. so by the time I back home and sleep, its already almost 6 hours after dinner, hehe.. usually they advised 4 hours before bed time shouldn’t take anything heavy meal.. so I make it!!

Although it is good to lose a bit of weights, but I would still try to go to gym whenever I have time, especially over the weekend. I think guy shouldn’t be too thin, should be a more lean and no matter what you wear it will look nicer..
