Raksasa

Sibeh raksasa, everything also want her hands on, everything she also wants to give approval. And because of this, she slowing me down on so many projects. Should I care? Absolutely not, because if in the end of the day something came up wrong, I will just answer "not me causing delay. It's the approval from RM delaying it ok?"

Sibeh raksasa, hari hari set up conference call. And she likes to scold people in conference call if someone disagree of her point of view. And, now is 1.38pm, supposed the conference call is from 1pm, she still not activated the conference call. 40 minutes late. Arghhh!!!!

Sibeh raksasa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Belated blog about a trip to 张家界

Only got time to update the trip we had to 张家界 late May.

We met a very friendly, honest driver. He is so young (younger than my sister), and, his car was quite upclass, and clean. And he treats us like king and queen, even bought us a map, and the price he quote us to bring us around, is not expensive at all (I did do some search on baidu before going to the trip, so I roughly know what's the price for certain stuff). We feel so glad to met him the night we arrived.

We went to so many mountains, mountains over mountain, cable car after cable car, and most mountain looks like a d*ck... if you get what I mean. Well, as soon as I made that ocmment during the trip, I slipped over a rock. I was standing on top of a big rock, beside me got river, and taking a photo. It was very painful when I fell, it's like someone slap my butt. So, I think the "mountain god" is punishing me for saying he looks like a d*ck. hahha... bleah. This is an outdoor elevator just built at the cliff. Damn siok!

Anyway, after 2 weeks liao, I feel so lazy to go over the detail again. Just paste the picture loh:) I really enjoyed this trip. It's very relaxing and close to nature trip.

妈妈和舅舅的寻根记

妈妈和舅舅来上海玩10天。妈妈是第三次来了，如果算上7年前举家来上海游玩的那一次，那就是第四次了。舅舅是第一次。他开玩笑的说，他是来寻根的。呵呵。

我的外婆和外公，都是纯真的上海人。基于某种原因，他们在很年轻的时候就来到南洋，就落地生根了。妈妈和舅舅都是在新加坡出生的。外婆一直都有写信联络她在中国的舅舅。但是，就仅仅是外婆在做联系咯，没有人在乎这件事，没有人过问中国的亲戚到底是怎么样的、住哪里？没有人知道这里还有什么人。

后来，外婆突然在7-8年前的一个夜晚，在睡梦中撒手人世。从此以后，就更没有人知道中国这边的connection了（外公早在10几年前就去世了）。

原来，人老了，真的想寻根的。我舅舅和妈妈这一趟，就有这么一丁点儿的想法。舅舅靠着他的记忆（他记得外婆时常写信的时候，地址是复兴西路xxx弄xxx号。他就问我，上海有没有这一条路呢？我说，当然有，地段不要太好哦！

我们周日下午，去了田子坊就到复兴西路，在出租车上倒数着弄堂数，突然，看到那个号码，心都要跳出来了。本来没有目的的到访，真没有想到竟然有这个弄，这个号，房子就在眼前。

下了车，舅舅先是狂拍了一轮照片。然后，他敲门。没有人应。舅舅就推门进去（舅舅胆子很大的）。里面还有一个房门，一个厨房，还有楼上。找到一个老头，和一个老太。老头很温顺，老太很上海女人，舌尖嘴利，她深怕我们取回房子（房子现在好像是归国家了，他们是住在这套房子里,free），把我们打发出去，说不认识我的曾舅舅（妈妈的妈妈的爸爸的弟弟还是哥哥）。

我的舅舅，回去待了几天，昨天说要去再找这个老头。真的狠巧，舅舅到的时候，老头正从外面回到家里，而且老太不在（老太不是老头的老婆，他们是不同的两户住客）。老头很友善，有问必答，告诉了我舅舅，曾舅舅曾经在哪里做事，叫我舅舅打去那边的人事部问一下。

我在百度搜了一下那个单位的电话号码，舅舅就打去问了（又是很胆子大的行为）。第一通电话，他们查下来，没有这个人，但是，那个人事部的人很热心，说可能是他们隔壁家的（next door, different company name by a bit)。舅舅就打去隔壁家的单位，他们竟然认识我们的曾舅舅（已经退休25年）！！给了我们他家的电话。我舅舅打过去，心里想，曾舅舅年纪这么大了，可能不在了（他已经90多岁数了）。So he asked for his son。接电话的是我的曾舅母，她说他不在。舅舅就想到搏一搏，就问我的曾舅舅在不在，她说“请等一下” next thing you know, my jiu jiu is talking to his grand jiu jiu... 他们约了明天见面！

整个寻根过程就是这样误打误撞下完成。首先，亏我舅舅这把年纪了还记得那个地址，然后是遇到好心的老头给我们指点，然后又是遇到他单位里好人，把电话给了我们，然后我那个曾舅舅竟然还活着！这一切都太妙了！

Good friend Aigie said I am a 1/4 shanghainese. I think think, no, not 1/4, I am 1/2 shanghainese, because my mom's side is 100% shanghainese. Wow... amazing leh... I am so excited about this root-finding incident. I can imagine how my mom and jiujiu is feeling now. It's like some important document went missing for so many years, and you finally found it back!

如果外婆还活着，该有多好。她做梦想也不会想到她的孙子，现在竟然在上海工作生活，她的孩子，竟然在这趟旅游找到失散的舅舅！

Naked in Facebook

My manager just added me to her facebook last week... so from now on I have to watch out my languae in facebook... bleah:(

In her understanding, I am very guai guai type, so, cannot use foul language.

In her understanding, I don't have conflict with colleagues except raksasa, so, I cannot bitch about colleagues on facebook (which I don't remember I have done that yet... anyway)

Aiyah, very mah fan lah now, I feel I don't have privacy liao:( But, takkan don't add her right? She will be curious if I don't add her... hor?

Hmmmm... this feels like I am just wearing bra-bra in front of her... almost naked. Tiu lah, cannot talk freely liao... help~~~~~~

orh si also ng duk han

Have you heard of this phrase "orh si also ng duk han"?

I have experienced this today. Mah de, I woke up by myself at 8.15am (the stupid alarm clock, I am gonna throw you away, you dumb ass, not functioning when I needed you most), annoyed, stressed, rushed and therefore, did not have my usual bangsai session. Arghh...

Just finished the S&M meeting, which is a great relief, although there are many many many more coming this month on ppt preparations, budget, cut budget, increase forecast, wah lao eh... why?? why??? Sei Guai Low dumb ass, why must you create global financial crisis?

Coming soon, the update on 张家界 during the dumpling festival: We visited many mountains, different shapes, different look, different cable cars (it's amazing, I finally concluded that China has the most advanced cable cars on the earth, I think), and, different height. I was very afraid of height, there's 1 cable car ride made my face turn white and I almost cried inside the cable car with hands shaking because the cable car was climbing across cliff, at45 to 60 degree inclination!
