My new plant! What's e name?

After shifting to new office, i have a new location which allow me have the window ledge to plant. I bought this plant today, it will blossm with sunlight. But i have no ideas what this plant call.

My colleague said it is called "nine o'clock flower" in chinese....

I repot into a bigger and nicer pot from ikea!
Nice!

finally after 2 hours it is straight!

My new workstation

This is my workstation. Is at a corner with angle window ledge.

This workstation is infront of mine, decorated.

Everything has been unpacked from boxes.

New office at #35

Now we are all much closer to one another. Cramp together... with not much free space...

Old Office after shifting

This is our old office @ #31 after shifting on Monday.

Last Day at #31 HBL section

Yesterday was our Last Day @#31 HBL Section. This was the messy before our last minute packing. Come Monday, all these will be gone! We have been here since 2nd Jan 2003 till 17 April 2009. Hope to take some pictures on Monday.

Stupid TESTING

Yesterday my colleague told me we have to come back to office on ONE SUNDAY in MAY to do testing. Time is not confirm until the day itself. But there were 2 set of time. 2-11pm if they can migrate on time. Worst case will be 8-4am (not too sure) but sure is till 4am! OMG! they must be mad!

I was not there at the briefing. BUT was very angry over the compensating. We will only be compensated for the hours we were back. Eg: 6 hrs , we get 6 hrs off! HEY! HEY! it is a SUNDAY and MAY past MIDNIGHT! DONT they know the compensating outside! double for sunday and triple for past midnight! Come to think they are so big so super not well fare!

Cannot terminate a temp staff due to the stuipd HR guideline. NOW expect us perm staff to come back to work on Sunday and may drag over to midnight, yet not compensating us accordingly! SHITY!

My African Violet

These were taken today, more flowers coming out. Tomorrow we will shifting up! Tomorrow is THE DAY! Busying doing last minutes packing!

The maid agency called to inform me that they have gotten the passport! YEAH! no need to wait 2.5 months.....So now they can process my application, probably i will have a helper in 2 weeks.....hahahahah......

Search for new maid

I have been to employ a maid on Monday, but because she do NOT have a passport, I may have to wait up to 2.5 months! No choice lah, since the maids i have search online do not suit me and hardly can find one that satisfy "us", so wait loh! And I will still be buzy in coming months lah. I can post so many write-up these few days is because I m not working, at home taking care of my 2 little sick ones!.

HP Pavilion

I bought the HP Pavilion from the IT show 2 weeks ago and have been using it coming to 1 week, but there is a problem surface already. Intermittent Wireless! I have been disconnected quite frequently, sometime I just need to relaunch the IE, sometime i need to restart the system. So i went into HP Consumer Support Forum and found that this is a widespread HP problem! hazi...

I have email the support yesterday, but have not received any reply.

But my hubby has a Compaq Presario for 1 year plus, seems like do not have this problem. Just wanna share with all should u considering a notebook! It can be quite irritating, especially during blogging and posting!

My New Notebook is here!

Last week was the IT show and I bought a HP Notebook, and it was delivered to me just now....And now i m using it to blog, YEAH!....heehee....

********************************************

Gloria has got the HFMD dont know from where since it is school holiday this week, the lucky thing was only confined to mouth ulcers and nowhere else....so i need to stay at home next Monday to Wednesday and bring her doc to confirm that she has no more ulcers then she can go to school! It is too risky to bring her to my mum place with the other 2 and I have no helper so no choice but to stay at home to take care of her!

Maid serach has began!

It time for me to sit down and look for another maid since she cant come back now. It has been like an annual affair for me, i m so tired! To start all over again, to learn to trust another person, to learn to communicate to another person, to teach all over again, all these need time, effort, patient and feeling! I try to not to put in feeling but each time i failed. I just cant prevent that or act or not to have feeling for another person who is helping, living with me! It is just so difficult because I m not a person who have no feeling.
