Project @ Work

On Friday I actually have many things in mind to blog about, but due to time constraint at work I cannot blog. By this evening (Saturday), I have forgotten more than 50% of what I have in mind to blog...

The major part that I sort of remember what I wanted to blog on is work related and Project Management related... I was in a progress meeting this Friday morning, I must admit that I am truly amazed by the ability of my project head in tracking project progress.

There are many nitty gritty details in this major project. e.g. from procurement to application and system design, from each iterative prototyping to end-to-end module release schedule and etc... (too many tracks)

Then there is another episode where the vendor side feedback that their team is very demoralized too whenever they miss the deadline. I am aware of it, but there is truly no perfect balance between project client and project vendor requirement and schedule. Some of the problem just exist in project and it is tough to avoid.

We even discussed that in a project, we should always firm up the Information Architecture, Application Architecture and Technical Architecture before one can truly start coding for individual modules. Which may affect many other modules if there is any changes.

Vacation Thoughts

What am I waiting for?

1) Human are jus so funny, we will wait for something which we know is unrealistic, but just hope to seek a moment of happiness. During the wait or for that short term of get to gather...

2) Why is it that we always quarrel when we are close and we miss each other when we are so far away from each other?

3) What is the best way to past a weekend?
a) Plenty of Family time
b) Plenty of relax and rest time (even if it means wasting of time)
c) Plenty of excerise
d) Plenty of self organise time
e) Plenty of self improvement and learning program

4) Fear creeps in whenever I am left alone, feeling tired and loss... Fear that I'm not being loved and nothing to look forward to...

Ah Gong's Last Journey

Long time never blog... Busy with life... birth of my first baby, confinement, back to work and death of my grand father...

I am not extremely close to my grandfather, but still when face with the news of his death I feel something deep inside me. I do not know how to express that feeling, but I feel upset for him whenever I thought about the last part of his life.

Life haven't been good for him especially he is blinded for almost 20 years, nobody really cared if he feel bored staying home and he have to tolerate the scolding of his wife...For me I really lose touch with him since I went overseas study and followed by my parents move out of that horrible house.

Saturday nite, I was with my hubby at Ark cafe... At about 10pm, Dad called me and ask me to go fetch him to collect Ah Gong's NRIC and stuff from the nursing home as he had passed away. I rushed back and for the following 4 days, time pass very fast and I am always tired travelling across the road to next block where the wake is.

Second day after my grandfather passed away, I sent my hubby off at the airport for his 3 and the half weeks work related trip. I'm left alone with the baby and of course lucky my mum is always there to help, but this time is really my family affair so even mum is busy.

On the fifth day when the funeral takes place, I really feel that sadness, I cried when the 'Sai Gong' was chanting and the whole family walks a few rounds, round the coffin. During the walk sending Ah Gong off his last journey to Mandai Cremation Centre, I cried, think of his last few years of life was an upset one... and at the cremation viewing hall, my aunt cried really hard and we all cried I watch the coffin where my Ah Gong was sleeping in being sent in for cremation.
