The above pic is my boss, the father of the baby that I always love to show here. The pic was taken with my new nokia phone, the resolution is cool isnt it? Besides the image quality, the MP3 is surprisingly clear, and the bluetooth technology means I am able to exchange pics with my frens without wasting MMS $$$. And the phone was bought after getting a further discount of $100 (not $70 this time!) from M1 when I told them I really wanna terminate my line.

Shucks, I duno why I have been feeling light in my head for the past couple of days, especially today, tat I experienced several times of fainting spells. I hope its due to my busy schedule at work and not anything else. And yeah, my work has never been this busy ever since i started work 10 months ago. In the past, I was still able to stone in my room, surf the net, chat on the msn.. but now, I hardly have the time to even sit by my table and check emails.

My IT department is well known to be very unapproachable and pushy in their work. Asking the IT specialists to do work is as good as begging the impossible. Unfortunately, I have quite a lot of problems that only the IT ppl could help me, and I have no choice but to approach them for them. I decided to use wat my brother taught me, to 'flirt' with the gals to get things done. And i grabbed my manager along (see how yandao he is!).

True enough, it worked! I din know if I sound sacrastic or apple polishing, but what i did today was repeatedly praising one of the IT gals on how helpful and nice she was in front of my manager. Although she responded that she is not into ppl sucking up, she got really very happy and patiently taught me steps by steps on how to generate some results using the SAP system. Her sudden helpfulness and patience made my manager's jaws drop, haha. Usually, it will take weeks for them to customise a program for us, but today, she rushed it out for us within an hr. I guess sweet talk really helps to a great extent.

I have nv imagined that I could get this busy at work. Though busy, I do feel some satisfaction at work. And lately, there seem to be quite a lot of job opportunities flying around, and i am getting quite tempted to switch job. However, changing job will also mean giving up a lot of things. Giving up the nice colleagues, good pay and 'comfort zone' which I have gradually and painstaking constructed over the past 10 mths. Well, I feel at our age, we just need to challenge ourselves as much as possible.
