Keep Life Simple After Being Retrenchment

From blog of friend, I got to know Qimonda was officially closed yesterday. I can feel what he felt when he heard "... You are no longer employee of Qimonda..."

Because I was once being retrenched in 2001. It was a retrenchment effective in 24 hours. Who was in the list was called one after another came out from GM's room. Nobody knew who was going to be the next. Unfortunately, I was the last name to be called.

Everyone was shocked because it happened in such a unexpected situation. "Didn't we just have our office expanded?" "And hadn't we taken few software programmers not long ago?" "Is it really that bad?" At one time, there were so many questions in my mind and others'. I could not believe that I got to leave this company and my dearest colleagues and teams in such a hurry.

Our eyes were red and wet. We were speechless because we knew once we said some words, we couldn't stop our tears. It's really a hardwork for me to say farewell to others. I forgot how I left the office that evening ...

But it was not over, as it's about knock off time, I got to come back tomorrow to bring away my stuffs. I had to come back again, to pack my stuffs, and said good bye again to colleagues who were stayed.

"Do you have so many things to be cleared up from your workplace?"

Yeah, I used to deco my workspace with personal stuffs so I felt belonging. But it is not anymore since then, except those to be tuck-in. I learn that workspace is just a place to work, job can be gone in second, I shall not keep too many personal things so I can take minor time to clean it before I leave. So is life, which is full of uncertainty!

We shall keep things (and secret) as little as possible so we can leave at any time without bother. But we shall keep good memories as many as we can so we can take it away with our breath.

However, being retrenched is not a damn bad thing in life. And it's definitely not a evaluation of your past performance in works. It's a chance for you to re-plan your future and adjust your mind. Take this chance to learn the uncertainty of life. So you would cherish your next chance of being recruited. So you won't easily give up your coming job in future.

Always be aware of the impact which economy crisis can bring to you. Do you have enough saving to survive while jobless? Luckily I could depend on my husband who worked while I were jobless. But who you can depend on if you don't have enough saving?

To whoever has lost their job, I do wishing you good lucks, always be optimistic and having enough saving to overcome the hard time.

Keep up your strength for next fight! And keep your life simple from now on.

New Year 2009

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!

Today I am at home because I am taking my MC leave after undergoing the minor surgery yesterday to remove a lump from my breast. I had it one in my right breast 10 years ago. This time it is found in my left breast. I just discovered it early of January 2009. Well, a HAPPY NEW YEAR gift to me... what a shock to me when my hand felt a lump in my left breast! Oh, God, please bless me so it's not a harmful one. The report will come out on 21/01/2009. Doctor said it should be fine. Ok.

Friend complained that I haven't updated my blog for few months already... really no time for that because my little girl will disturb me as she is interested in pressing keyboard and moving the mouse. Besides, I am not a night cat and I can't fight with the sleep God just for updating my blog. (^.^) Btw, our PC at home is damn slow! We have no intent to upgrade it in short time.

(I and Yen are same kind. We seldom switch on our PC at home after work, after facing the monitor while day in the office. Unless.... we are still single. ha...)

My girl is getting up soon. Got to stop here. BYE!

26/10/2008, Tanjung Balau again. (^_^)

06/09/2008 Tanjung Balau - A nice place for picnic

I know this place from internet. Since it's very near to Desaru, we put it into our place-to-go plan while we were heading to Teluk Ramunia that day.

You can get there by turn left to the junction 500m before juction to Desaru. Or take 9pm route when you reach at the roundabout to Desaru.

Tanjung Balau doesn't has white sand or yellowish sand like Desaru. It more likes Air Papan. But it's a safer place for children to play water if compare to Desaru. Moreover, there is a tower for life guard to monitor the tide so they will warn people to get back to shore if the current is not safe for swimmers.

Another very important good point is the wash room and shower room is clean and well maintained. It is definitely better than Desaru's wash room that I dare not to use it last 2 years. (But I am not sure if they have renovated the toilet so far.)

We have been there for 3 times. Tanjung Balau is definitely the good choice for picnic as it has a grass field.

Somehow, we could still see some people left without throwing their trash to the dustbin that was provided by the management.

Below is the link to photos which we took at Tanjung Balau:

03/09/2008 Trip to Cameron Highland and Damai Laut Cancelled

We suppose to make our second visit to Cameron Highland and first visit to Pulau Pangkor and Damai Laut this weekend. But now the trip is cancelled becos my son is confirmed having chickenpox yesterday! (^o^)

Quite disappointed about it but think in other way, we are lucky enough to discover it few days before the trip. :-)

This is the second time that we have to give up our holiday to some places last minutes. First time was our car is broken down on the way back from shop where we bought some snacks for next day trip to KL. Can u imagine if it broke down half way we heading to KL?

Here are some photos we had taken during our first visit to Cameron Highland:
