Fitness (7 - 13 Feb)
Gemini
Gemini’s weakness is the lungs, so make sure that you practise deep breathing. Unfortunately, this means you have a hard time shutting off your thoughts and relaxing. The next time your mind is racing, slow down with a yoga class and this will also help with your lungs. If you’re not seeing the fitness results you’d like, satisfy your analytical side by keeping a fitness journal to assess your exercise habits.
SO VERY TRUE!!

wonderful sleep
i had a wonderful time sleeping last night. its been long since i last had such a peaceful sleep.
happy happy................
i went for acupunture yesterday- that was the 2nd time. the needles are at least 2 inches long. i have not seen them. only had them on on my back.... for 15 mins.
the feeling was just like ant bite. i'm serious :)
also went for the bottles treatment. lit fire on bottle and place it on one's shoulder. the duration is 5 mins. once done i have a lot of circles on my back. most of them are DARK circles... shows how unhealthy i am..... scary..need to get rid of all the toxic in my body..
this is the health and body maintenance phase. not sure if i have enough sessions before going back to KL.
in the event it wasnt enough then i shall be back in penang again in April :)
this year CNY is slightly different...why? Valentine's Day fall on the 1st Day of CNY. That we could name it double happiness. but CNY comes first definitely...
this is the 3rd week after the last sight. there are 2 more full weeks before packing back to the city. then i do not know how many weeks more to count down. i do not have control and do not want to gain control. maybe its best just to let it flow on its own and let the time tell us what is the best next step to take.
on another note..some people in my company are getting increment this time for offcycle adjustment. why did i say some? its hard to believe that although one is a finance staff but if their HC are sponsored by business they are not considered finance; in conclusion no salary adjustment for those ppl.
I AM ONE OF THEM!
I SEE now how unfair the world can be....how much effort has been rendered and yet the return is not minimal. It is NONE.
sad to say this but this is what that is happening...

lessons to learn in life
There are many if not a lot.
We learn as we go through our lives. After all that has happened i understand myself more. I did not believe it when i was once told im a perfectionist. Someone whom i know for not so long ago. i think i'm in my qtr life crisis now...
And then recently i've been to a few parties and was told something along those lines.
It may not be the way i was brought up. Just maybe how i have been telling myself what to do and what not to do. And to do it means 100%.
This is not wrong. But there is nothing in the world that is perfect.
I was chatting on msn with a friend.
me: wah 50% only pass. i cannot achieve another 50% already
friend: i din ask u achieve 100%
me: hahaha
friend: 70-80% lol
when he replied me "i din ask u to achieve 100%", it is as though sometime struck my mind.... oh man...i'm still thinking of 100%. only perfectionists think that way.... 80% or even 90% is good enough..we do not have to go all the way to 100%. It is not doable but it may or may not be perfect? (up to judgement)
after all these past few days it was as though i woke up from my dream.. the perfect world...i want to fall back on the 70% to 80% world...i hope i am not too late.
I'm AWAKE NOW...
and i need to adapt to it because afterall "The world is NEVER PERFECT"
Change is a good thing....change for the better.
yesterday i finally spoke to my manager...blurted out all the concerns that i may have. it was such a relieve but i will have to give her time to speak to that woman and give that woman time to improve on.
it was used to be 3 of us who handle all escalations. one left. 2 of us left and pulled thru a lot for the past 4 months until help finally came when she hired 2 extra headcount to help on the escalations.
in total there are 4HDs. the plan is for my other colleague to be moved out from the SP so that she can focus on her LP. And i will be leading the 2 new HDs. I do not have any issue working with one of them but that WOMAN. its a disaster when i'm put into a team with her.
the mystery was resolved yesterday when my manager told me she was a team lead in her ex company leading 4 other analysts. upon joining our team she sort of like downgraded i supposed (being led by myself and another colleague.) well... like it or not you may be a team lead in your past experience but since you have ZERO pricing experience. then sorry you have to listen to us. both us are aware we are not a team lead or watsoever. she chose selective hearing and disrespect both of us given who we are- an analyst who has a few yrs of experience who is not even a team lead and now needing to guide her who WAS a team lead.
seriously hiring someone like this is a major problem to both of us. i could not foresee how i can work with her on a day to day basis. 8 hours a day when i see her more often than i see my parents. its either she leave or i leave. the best resort is to transit all jobs over to them both and start looking for a job internally. in the event if that can't happen last resort leave the company.
In short the traits of that WOMAN is
-disrecpectful
-act smart
-VERY dependant (like to be spoonfed)
-not alert
-no initiative
-rude(bad body language and rude tone when she speaks)
-calculative
-no team work
-irresponsible
-childish
It may be surprising to find out SHE IS A 30Y.O WOMAN WITH A 2Y.O KID. Having those traits above seems like a TEENAGER; freshly baked from the OVEN.
unfortunately it is not.....

*********
it's good to also learn not to hire someone via phone interview. Always need the FTF interaction to read the body language. At least 2 rounds of screening will do good.
Its always easy to get someone in but its almost imposibble to move them out; unless they resign.

deep thought
been to Taiwan...back for almost 5 weeks. done that. overjoyed..
upon return food poisoning, emotional breakdown, stress....
this cycle has been revolving since last yr. guess now its serious already and it has to be stopped.
family-career-relationship-financial matter. it needs to be solved one by one.
career matter - no longer need to deal with tht woman. DONE. Pending the off cycle adjustment.
relationship - he loves me or he loves me not still bare. strange guy he is...
family - health and wealth all intertwined in this category to be solved as time goes by.
just need to relax stay focus and will be able to pull it thru.....
hopefully....
