It's my habit of checking my laptop screen for emails before i start with anything else. I did the same today; without even sitting and putting down my bag. So, i have 3 mails in my Thunderbird - this one is especially for office's correspondences. 2 from the COO and 1 from MatBlurr. My personal mails - yahoo especially, holds easily more than 20mails per day - mostly from the shopping2 thingy; which i would easily click and erase without even looking at them.
~ the COO mail :
1st email says : I did asked you what are the changes made by xxx 2 weeks ago did’nt I.
2nd email says : I have reviewed the revised xx and it find that the amendment is acceptable to us. Please make two prints and get xxx to sign.
It happened about 2 weeks ago. Our client had sent an agreement - a revised agreement actually, because we've signed the earlier one and they gave a revised version after few days saying that they've realised some mistake on their part. The revised version was supposed to be signed and returned to them during a meeting about 11 days ago. Okay, my mistake was, i emailed the agreement to my head, assuming that he is the right person to go through the document. I was told later that i should send the agreement to our COO - where he'll thoroughly scan the document & later get the CEO to sign. So i did. I emailed the COO 2 days after i received the agreement from the client - on the 8th of Nov; which was supposed to be the day of the meeting. I appologised to the client, knowing that it was a mistake on my part.
Last friday (16th Nov), there was still no sign that the COO has look at the document. I went to his room to gently remind him about the agreement. He asked me what changes has the client made & wanted me to print it out and discuss it with him. I told him that whatever changes they've made can be seen at the document itself - they have not 'accept'ed all the changes they've made, so anything they did can easily be traced by reading the document. I left his office after that conversation for a friday 'spiritual enhancement class'. I was a bit angin, his job is to go through the document, not to sign it anyway. If i were to sit and discuss the agreement with him - i might as well do it myself. I don't need him in the picture anymore. Unless, he's the one signing the document, yes - i'll sit down and go through the agreement for him. I don't understand reading legal text anyway, so if i were to go through the document - i'm gonna need a gugel translator next to me.
Yesterday (19th Nov), i sent an email to the COO, reminding him that the agreement was supposed to be returned to the client 10 days ago. Well, i might not use a sopan2 word, but i know i wasn't rude or used harsh words. It was just a reminder for him to read the document. I guess he must've been very annoyed with my constant bugging; hence the 1st email was written in such manner. But, '2 weeks ago'?? I think he must've lost his sense of time and space!
The 1st email was only sent to me alone. The 2nd one was sent 7 minutes later, cced to my head and CEO. Hmmm...i wonder, it takes only 7 minutes to go through the documents? And you took dayyssss to do it? So, i la yang nampak salah sebab tak discuss dengan dia sekarang? Because of me la benda tu lambat ye...? ish..ish...ishhh...
~ MatBlurr's mail :
MatBlurr is now in Bintulu. He'll be stucked there until early next year for a project. Since the team went there few weeks ago, i'll be receiving mails from them everyday. The project manager will email their progress to me so that i'll know what's happening & report their progress to the client. Since the PM is now in back in KL for a while, MatBlurr took the role & email to me, or rather the whole team to report their progress.
I have problem - not only now, but i always have problem reading his mails. I won't get the info straight away. I always have to read his email more than twice to really understand what he's trying to say. I'm not saying that he has problem with his language. I'm not a good writer anyway; but i'd prefer a straight forward email. Just state whatever the main points are - forget the bombastic words or the lengthy sentences; it'll make me loose my focus. By the time i finish reading the sentence, i have already forgotten whatever was written earlier. Mana lagi nak faham ayat, nak grab info pun tak dapat. I surrendered - forget the mail, and go on with my work.
I spoke to the PM later and he asked if i got any email from Bintulu. Yes, i said; but i have problem understanding it. And he laughed at my statement.

mari bercuti
I've just came back from the airport sebab menghantar PK sekeluarga bercoti. After all the chaos at airport tadi - biasa la kan, keluarga tu kalau tak kelam kabut memang tak sah!...; anyway, i decided not to go to office memandangkan my mood telah dibawa bercuti bersama. haha...i malas plak nak drive ke KL, baik rehat2 dengan budak berbulu kat rumah.
Disebabkan lokasi kediaman kami yang elit ni (haha...sila jangan pindah ke kawasan kami ye, nanti jam jalan!) agak mudah untuk ke airport, maka untuk menghantar dan mengambil orang dari airport bukanlah satu pekerjaan yang rumit. It's a pleasure for me kalau kena ke airport. Positive moods are everywhere. Orang nak bercuti mesti rasa gumbira. Orang yang balik bercuti pun mood mesti tengah baik. So, menumpang rasa gembira orang adalah sangat baik untuk kesihatan kita ye. As i told PK this morning; datang ke airport ni macam ada musim. Kadang2 kerap je kena gi airport, seminggu lebih dari sekali hantar orang pun ada...kadang2 lama takde sapa nak pegi mana2. And, until end of this year i know i have a few more trips to the airport; starting with another one this weekend.
I haven't post anything about my apartment kan. I decided to do some renovation to my house, so I moved out into PK's other house. A heart-throbbing process as i need to smuggle the 17 FCs out from my house & into this highly secure building. I just hope that the cctv doesn't catch me with the carrier and such. Nowadays, my routine has changed. I woke up early, clean the house, get myself prepared and out by 6.15 after ensuring every doors and windows are locked. I'll drive to my own house to feed the FCs at my parking lot, if the time permits, i'll climb up to check on the renovation progress, and then, i'll move on to PK's place to pick her up. In the evening, we'll stop again at my house to feed the FCs before sending PK home. I'll have to make my way through the traffic to reach the house before i change my profession again to being a bibik to the FCs. The house-cleaning process is a must before i go on with my own mandi, solat and ironing routine. By the time i finish everything, i barely have any more energy to have my dinner. I can't depend on the tv programmes for entertainment, so usually i'll find myself woke up in the middle of the night still wearing my spectacle and a book on top of me. Sangat2 takde life. But, one thing i know for sure - rupanya ada drama korea kat tv2 pukul 4 pagi!
The renovation is going on well so far. I'm satisfied with the contractor - tak banyak hal, very easy to deal with, though i think i'm spending more each day. Not to blame on the contractor though; the decision is still mine kan? Anyway, the fact that the house is already more than 10 years - what do u expect? Tak kan la semua benda nak tahan lama kan. My guess is that the house will be ready for us to move back in couple of weeks, maybe earlier. Maybe i won't move in immediately. I need to sort out things sementara the FCs are not around. It's easier that way. Kalau tak ramai sangat nak tolong kemas. I hope that the place is still fresh & berkilauan by the time PK balik nanti...haha.
Kalau rajin i'll post some photos nanti, if not sapa2 nak tengok gambar (kalau ada) sila la cari saya di cubicle nanti ye. Sekian. Selamat bercuti untuk PK sekeluarga, dengan ucapan...sila pegang beg itam tu kuat2!
