Time to say farewell

When I was told that you want to meet us for a farewell lunch, I'm neither surprise or calm about it. I guess it's time for you to go, after almost 3 years and 9 months with this company. Your last day with the company is 29-Feb, leaving on 2-March. Thanks for sharing the fun with the pre-sales team, e.g. vendor sponsored free visit to Bintan, meal treats... 

You said you wanted to go back to your hometown to help your parents with their home rice business. Being the eldest child in the family bears heaps of responsibilities, isn't it? Your other younger sister and brother are in overseas, working and studying, so you don't get much choice, right? You said you want to get married next year, even though your bf wants to do it this year. You said you will "force" him to come back to your home country, is he doing well in Oz? Any work opportunities when he go back? You said your bf don't like this place, which has people living in prison-liked blocks of flats.

Do eat more and get fatten up. Do remember me and add me to your facebook to keep in touch. If you ever come back here again, do look for me, and perhaps, I can meet you when I visit your country in future.

I'll miss you. Take care, dear.

To do list

I have completed the setup of that Windows 2008 servers and setup the alert notifications, the system was rolled out to the users last week. What a relief! I still have to do something about setting up the backup, because Wins2008 is not supported by the current netbackup software.

Next on the list would be the McAfee VirusScan client upgrade for the development servers, the ePO for the server and Netbackup server upgrade. The new Netbackup server software needs to be tested and if fine, I will have to deploy it in the PRD environment. Also, need to work on the SMTP alert using SNMP for that BMC monitoring.

That's all for the major 'to do' tasks for the next 3 months.

Sleepless nights...

I can't sleep, not just tonight, but since weeks ago, and it's getting worst.

I just cannot sleep, simply lying on the bed, close my eyes couldn't get me to sleep. Counting sheeps? Nope, doesn't work at all.

There seems to be heaps of things going on in my mind, my relationship, family matters, work, etc. they just go round and round in there. I'm getting headaches sometimes, what's going on???

I came back from work yesterday, and was not in a good mood because my boss was leaving the team to work on another project, and she wanted me to take over some of the stuff she had been doing. Really, I don't like the things that I have to do, I feel that she should hand them over to her boss! Not ME!

All these years at work, I have been helping people, my bosses, peers, etc, while they got to advance upwards, I don't get it! Not fair. Maybe I should ask for a transfer, I have my own career goals, I want to advance up too!
