Kinship..

Kinship... Maintenance of it is a daily affair and not a moment of effort

Life is so unpredictable..

28 April 2009, it has been exactly two months since my grandfather-in-law had moved on to the other side on 28 Feb.. Today, the most unfortunate events that could possibly happen has happened.. My grandmother in law, and that is his wife, had moved on to join him at the other side.. Nerved breaking news after I had happily pick up my Queen from work.. I dun really like her expression when she first board the car.. the worst had happened.. It was so suddenly, no known illness or slightest hint, she just sat on the sofa and moved on... Life seems so fragile and sudden...

Lele's first visit to the pool..

Pinky pinky bikini.. Estella's first sexy swimwear..

We thought that the trip to the pool are doomed to be shelved to next weekend after thunderous rainy afternoon while we searched for the prettiest swimwear.. Phew.. Sky made our day, its fair weather in the late afternoon.. Good weather for a pool swim without getting the unsightly tan..

Baby chair lunch..

After a long and torturing 6 months and 14 days, my little princess is able to sit on a baby chair while I enjoy lunch with my queen..

Well, she seems a little restless after a while..

My colleague's son Angus

Baby shower.. Its my colleague's turn to throw baby shower celebrations.. In chinese interpretation, it is a cause to celebrate the completion of the most fragile period of babyhood since birth.. Its only then i realise how big my little princess has grown in size and intellectual.. In comparison to Angus.

My new lens Tamron Autofocus 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) for Nikon DSLR Cameras

Here we go again... After adding SB600 to my ever increasing collection of camera accessories just over a fortnight ago, I had just increase my lenses population with Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 yesterday, its my first fast lens.


I came across this sale in CS buy and sell.. To my surprise, someone by the nick Markyen, put up a notice to sell this Tamron some $100 off RRP after purchasing it a month ago, meaning to say, the lens still have another 35 months of warranty to go..

Bullshit but still need to slog

I damn myself for engaging into a 8 years bond.. Running towards the end of 5 years.. I find the passion and fire for the job diminishing every single day.. I cannot leave, cannot pay to get out and have to "suck thumb" to drag myself to work every single day.. Yes, i have a bond obligations to honour.. But the way that the organisation treat their employee is simply bullshit.. I put in 110% in everything i do for the organisation.. But still my future is not decided by what is my performance at work but a loss of laptop.. What does one laptop with absolutely no confidential documents hurt to the organisation, and i am faulted with potential promotion delay for up to 3 years. This is more hurting on the fact that the laptop was stolen right inside the organisation's vehicle with a driver inside. I say my peace..

Trying period for both my wife and myself

What do we need to do to get our career kick start at mid-age? This period did not occur the smoothest career tempo for my Queen and myself.. My queen runs into the laziest "Miss Hollywood" as his immediate superior who only work on jobs that inherit limelight, those dim and unglamourous work was left to my wife.. and last minute ones too... for a few of the "tasks" were tasked at the eleventh hour.. Such convenience to get someone to take the blame..

For me... I recently got into some what I called "unlucky event" and got honour to be the scapegoat for the incident.. This had also resulted in my performance bonus, for last year good work that I had put in, being withheld until further notice by my policy department.. I just do not understand why would the organisation punish their employee for the slightest mistakes they commit, even though it did not compromise the organisation's position in any way...

My subordinate got into some scuffles while he was partying.. As young punks always get themselves into after downing mugs and mugs of alcohol, fights.. He was a victim of the STANDARD staring case as claimed by the other party, guess it is just an opening statement to find someone to beat up.. Of course, my guy did what I felt the most appropriate action, retaliate and punch his way out.. Guess what, he was stopped by the Police while running away from danger.. The Police could not officially conclude who had started the fight and hence gives the both of them stern warning in lieu of prosecution.. well even though the other punk got some previous track record of affray before this.. Guess what, the Police forwarded this decision to my organisation who decided to punish him for getting into trouble.. Despite numerous attempts to appeal to my HR that he was the victim, with no concrete evidence to prove his innocence, (Well if the Police cannot find any, how can I??) his promotion and bonuses SINCE last July was withheld until further notice by the Policy Department.. What bullshit!!! Ten months on and they cannot decide whether his bonus is forfeited..

Things can only be better... Lets pray hard for the turn of events..

A Useless wimp that work for me

Sometimes, it is so hard and difficult to function as a boss.. On one hand, i find it onus on me to groom people under my wings while the other hand killing his career to let him know not to take the organisation for a ride. Why is there such a wimp ever exist in this world? I just do not understand..

Estella's First Cereal

My Estella first Cereal... After 5 months, we finally decided to feed our little princess some solid food we bought from Cold Storage 2 nights ago.. Initially, I was so worried that she might puke everthing out, instead, she yearns for it after a few spoonful fed..

Her licking actions is sooooo cute.. my adorable princess..

Carrefour's promotion offer always never materialise at cashier.

Promotion, promotion.. Buy 2 at a cheaper price, and so says the price tag and the promotion card.
When I pay at the cashier, I was charged the usual price.. This is carrefour sales tactics, or seemingly so. The payment is never accurate for promotion items.. I have claimed a refund for similiar incidents, where i was overcharged on the items that i purchase, at least on ten other occasions. If i have not checked the receipt, i would never ever find out about it.

It is so frustration, there are times where i have to queue up at the customer service counter to get my refund for a problem created by carrefour. Fueling my anger further, my feedback on this on previous occasion never seems to entertain or i guess the management is simply cannot be bothered. If there computer system cannot handle the last minute arrangement for all promotions, then forget about it.. Rather than putting it up and lie to the customer that they are actually paying at a lower price or even getting a bargain.

Today, i visited carrefour again, the same old thing happened.. I decided to blow things up. I lost my cool on the inefficiency of the management, and demand an answer on how carrefour manage the accurate pricing and payment for promotion items. If they do not get back to me by next week, i would blow it and flash it in national papers, especially straits times. How many more ignorant customers will continue to be cheated on their money? Someone must take the first step.. I guess its me.. I just feel that It is just wrong to keep quiet on this unethical business tactics after so many past incidents and feedback made and nothing is done..

Money.. Root of all evil or catalyst of comfort?

Money money money.. It sound so funny.. In a rich man world..

Is it the root of all evil? But without it, life is full of misery too.. I certainly wont complain if I have plenty of it..

Well, money is also the source for disharmony not only for me and my wife but many other couples out there.. And it has also became one of the key reasons for divorce..

There is a constant comparison on how her colleagues were pampered by their husband, gifts, allowances, so on and so forth. But sometime, we failed to recognise the fact that we have different financial commitment and expenditure needs.. Haise, women..

Fortunately, for my wife only feel unbalance for a while and came back to reality after complaining..
