"See- mah"
My boss enjoys calling me "See -Mah" (which is the pronunciation for my new designation the past few weeks)...which ..*ahem*...i shall endeavour to protest till kingdom come!! hahaha....
I mean...it sounds horrible lor...like " See Ma (look mum), i bought a new gadget!"...or if given a singlish twang to it...you have " Si- Ma" (aka...dead mum)....
Then again maybe i can view "See-Ma" to sound like those streetfighter character names hor...like some cool jap name or something...hahaha...as you can see..i'm trying to look at things positively...as I've a feeling my boss will NOT stop!!...RAARRR!!!....
I'm not TOTALLY unhappy lah...just that...well..it's the principle of it!! it sounds horrible!..=S
so yes...battle of wills! haha...
Actually after airshow, things have haven't settled somewhat. i guess it's coz the org is growing...and this is the expected period. ie. between the tiring airshow and just as headache AGM ( in sept)....so..i know..no way..my boss will 'disturb' the Christmas period for the expansion lor...
My boss has downloaded to me my larger responsibilities..about a month ago..and now it's sinking in...coz he officially announced them on Monday!
Still my fren has joined us since monday too...=) my counterpart..hee...She is an "Ack!" and I'm a "See-Ma"...haha...i hear her protesting already...LOL! hmmm...there's something fundamentally wrong here ....we have horrible shortforms of designations! haha..
I'm glad to report that we have not gone at each other's throats yet..haha...and i pray we never will. =) We are stronger united than apart... We are learning alot together..our scopes differ...but in everything else..the same--pioneering new things and coping with the unknown...we are first timers...and yet the responsibility is there...it is indeed a great opportunity...that i believe is given by God. =) we have to grow and learn fast!
But I'm reminded of Pst Phil's message almost a month 3 weeks ago in church. it was the few days after i got some clue of my the areas i am to delve into from my boss.
It couldnt' have come at a better time...it was one statement he made.
Whatever God has called you into ....He will give you the anointing you need to make it happen and last the distance, provided you surrender to Him. You may look at yourself today and say...."OOookkkaaayy....but are you sure...i don't have the skills/ abilities to do what you have called me to do..."
But God will anoint you to last the distance. =) He is a father that loves you and will not call you or position you into something, for the sole purpose of watching you suffer what!...=) We do not see as He sees...but thankfully, God who does see..is on my side..and a promise-keeping God!..=)
Amen!
tomorrow is friday already... the mountain ahead looks bleak...Trust in the Lord with all your heart...and lean not on your own understanding. =)
Oh...i think most readers here may be wondering am i really called "See- mah"???...Yes...it is my bosses way of saying "CMA' ---*growl*....
And what does CMA mean?...hehehe...u can ask me when u next meet me! =P

Staring at the tag...
Yes...i have been tagged. And for those readers here who do not know how it happened (because you do not read my bro in christ - Shen's blog)...Tagged means i need to share 5 things most people do not know about me....
HONESTLY....that is quite hard...LOL...i mean...after so many years in CG and church...all those games of sharing something about each other, fellowship time etc...abit hard leh...=)
i thought long and hard...long and hard...then long...then forgot about the hard...HAHAHA...until Shen drop a comment on my chat box...HAHAHA...to remind me...=P
Convicted...and simply coz i love this bro of mine, i'm willing to play along..hee...so the hard became harder...producing the following products:-
1) A hotel door latch-lock in HK was once broken in because of me
When i was young, about 4 to 7 years old, my dad was often posted to Hong Kong to work. So my mum would bring me over to visit. We stayed in hotels.
If i recall from the story my mum told me when i was older, was that i was left in the hotel room because i was tired from the boring things to do in HK (kid mah...no toys no fun...also it was always the same area we visited...)..so they left me inside to watch smurfs on cable. I was to latch the door from inside to be super safe and open it when my parents got back. You know the U shape one, that slides along a ball, usually gold colour? so that even if someone has a key to open the door, it is jammed by it after a certain distance?
So yes, guess what,...i fell asleep with the TV switched on super loud! My parents came back, but couldn't come in completely. They couldn't look into the room either given that small gap...so they kept trying to call me. But i was fast asleep and the TV was loud.
So they panicked. Thought something had happened to me, like i fell down and lost consciousness, etc...so they called the hotel to break open the door latch...
After all that drama, and noise...I WAS STILL ASLEEP when they finally got in...Hahahaha...i never knew till my mum told me when i was older.
2) I was in the local papers 3 times
Two times in Lianhe Zaobao, one was a feature on people and their pets, my primary school partner was on internship there and was to do a story. So she called me if i was ok to do it. there were photos of me bathing my 'now-passed away' sausage dog and me kissing my land tortise that is still alive today..haha...think this was when i was in sec 4.
The other was just a quote on a story covering the pre-univeristy seminar in JC times.
Last was a big pic of me..in the Forum section of the straits times when i was in university. It was at the auditorium when Lee KY came to have a forum. Dunno y the photographer pick me...as a general picture. article had nothing to do with me.
3) my hair morphed
I had very very straight hair when i was young. It's the type no need to comb and it just 'wraps around my head' straight and flat.
Now...you know me lah..natural curls...and look like a rooster/ pineapple top in the morning....
4) I could have died
This one my mum told me too. I remember being admitted to hospital i think in sec 1/2 for dengue fever. I was checked in immediately after the blood test. I recall taking a nap...since there was nothing to do. After all, i was not prepared to check in, so didnt bring anything to read.
then i recall waking up periodically,...but couldn't wake up fully...it's like the heavy sleep feeling...i was surrounded by many people...i kept phasing in and out. Couldn't say proper words, without drifting unconscious again. Felt people lifting my hand and talking around me...
It seems that the same afternoon, my fever hit dangerous levels at that point and i was being monitored. Possible brain damage/ death if it didnt subside. =S
Well I'm here....so...but..the brain damage bit...hmmm...now..that explains some things..hahaha
5) I was not squirmish when young
I spent many primary school recess breaks catching grasshoppers and dragon flies with my bare hands in my school field with a friend. (with out harming them)...keep them in a jar/ plastic bags with holes and leaves for the rest of the day, before releasing them when i'm going home.
had to hide them under my desk..there was once, the grasshopper in my bag kept jumping...so almost got caught by the teacher, coz of the noise and that it fell on the floor...
I caught toads at East Coast Park too...learn from my dad...who would bring me...i enjoyed it...released on the same night. never brought home. =)

Thank God!!!!!!
Today i had a free check up on my eyes worth $80. It's not the regular optometrist check, but goes further to check on pressure reaction, and xray photos were taken of my eye balls...weird..but interesting...coz i've heard that the eyeball can tell certain things about your health like high blood pressure, diabetes etc.
Anyway, straight to the point. I thought i had lazy eye the past year as my right eye i discovered was blurer than my left. Turned out, both my eyes are in good shape! Just that my left eye is my dominant eye.
And i have been judging my right eye harshly with a high standard, coz the clarity that i see with my left eye only...i expect the same clarity to be on my right eye correct?..that's the natural way to gauge mah...turns out..my right eye is fine...just that my standard i placed on it was too high...
i have very minor shortsightedness in both and astic in my right eye...but still i got 6/6 for both eyes!!...praise god!! the doc said...i dont' need glasses or any aids...and she recommends that i don't' bother trying. LOL!
The photo shot of the eye ball was cool too...i learned my eyes are healthy and happy...good nerves and blood flow, good colour..no weird patches (which could mean bleeding or clots). No sign of any diseases...yipee!
I have follicles at the inside base of my eyes which is normal in our urban environement...explains..the itchiness and tearing in contact to dust...so it's normal..nothing to worry about...hee...
One thing though...now that I'm typing on the comp...I'm linking something that the doc asked me....She noted that my corneas expand wider than normal when exposed to light...this is normal in young kids...but for adults should be smaller...so she asked me if i have problems in the day with glare.....do i feel disoriented in glare?...
No ah....but come to think of it....
it explains how come when i use the computer, i reduce the brightness to zero and it is still bright to me...LOL!...i better mention this to the doc next day...=) see if it explains anything...haha
OK...once again...praise god! =D

bald patch due to over scratching the head..hahaha...
i have archieved my mazda 2 car pics..hahaha...ok lah...they took up considerable 'main' space...besides, now into more serious thinking...
Buying a car is really not an easy decision. It is something that depreciates, so you have to be ready to make a financial loss.
As you all know, i've been toying with the idea and throwing it out in the past. But in the past 2-3 months, it has resurfaced and now with a wee bit more fire-power.
it is interesting to note that with my pondering, the govt has also lately been announcing intended changes to the car system. i.e. increase in ERP (this one we all know more to come), cutting the quota meaning higher COE and of course, yesterday's announcement that left my mind swimming was the proposed cash rebates instead of credit.
now natural reaction is that cash rebates are a better option. i.e. you can bail out of owning a car when you choose to. (provided the returns are positive..depending on other factors)...still we all know the govt is not stupid...and will look into things...i was thinking,...they may come up with something NEW..that will ADDITIONALLY PENALISE you for holding on to a car longer instead of opting for the cash rebate.
another thing i thought of was since they have considered the loophole those that have opted the cash rebates and then buying another car...they may have a restriction, say...after selling, you can't buy or own another car in the next two years. *gasp*
great...more headaches...as if there isnt' enough stress already. i mean, not only do you have headache now...when you reach that point of decision (come whatever they will announce) ...you have another set of problems...even if it is a few years away.
