My boss “shared” with us about discipline few weeks ago. The flexibility of working hour doesn’t mean can come in late everyday, and make it as a habit. We need to hold to discipline within our team. Talk about discipline huh?!

 

I started to “think” about it. He is the culprit that causes us NOT discipline. The team meetings or 1-1s time slot are being shifting around, and a lot of them become “ad-hoc” meetings. And now DEMAND us to open and share our calendar to him so that he know if he can overwrites other he THINK that it has lower priority meetings… I guess it’s just because he scheduled a REGULAR team meeting that crashed with my 1-1 with his boss. So he has to know exactly every meetings that we have in our calendar.

 

What if I allocated the time for my breakfast, lunch, rest, focus hours? Isn’t this is more important compare to meeting for a pass down session which can be done via email???

 

Is this a double standard of disciplinary that he talked about?

 

I am super reluctant to open and share my calendar. I’ll ignore this request for the time being. Just in case, my boss so geng to check the websites that I visited, and blogs that I updated from whatever log he got from company network and found this… Boss, my ex-boss said I am not an obedient engineer, and I believe I told you this. Please accept that not an obedient engineer is a valuable assets for your team, and I am one of them!

 

My, why an individual’s view so different when “upgrade” from engineer to manager?

我們的愛(our love)

I went to karaok alone yesterday. This song, somehow makes me cry.

Then, I suddenly know nothing about love. What love is all about? Can it be digitized? It would be best in a 2 value format, 1 or 0.

All alone in Penang

This weekend is a long weekend for me as my company is shutting down on Monday due to no business. It’s just sad that the world wide economy is still not making any progress yet. Besides that, Baby is in Cambodia now and Jup26 is back in KL. Leaving me all alone here in Penang. Hope both of them are having a good time there and miss me a tiny little bit.

While being bored at home, I was chatting with this friend of mine in KL. During our conversation, he encouraged me to not give up on love till I find that someone who I want to share my life with. It’s was really sweet of him but in reality check, things like this don’t happen. I told him that I do have a feeling for some but it’s just not mine to keep. He said never give up as there is one out there and why not try Aussie! Hehehe…. maybe I should huh? Not bad an idea…. Thanks for the idea, pal (you know who you are)!!
