Back to work!

I took a week off from work for my trip to Siem Reap, and I am officially back to work today. Things seems to be light - but of course with a lil' hick-up on the label issue for the one of the LS model for Gxxxxxdt. Well, issue settled, and hopefully no CAPA will be issued & diverted back to CS again.

Without no obvious reason that I feel like checking on on of the items that I had released out last month. Items had been delayed due to some process issue, and was only completed end of last weekend. I happen to find the item had been completed, but using one of the wrong component. Wonder what will happen if I don't feel to be a busybody today? Seems like there is a lucky star either shinning on me, or the production team.. ^o^ sheer dumb luck I guess ...

Things seems to be good on the first day at work, and hopefully it will be smooth sailing (will you believe so?)... Hope the recharged energy will last long enough until our headcount stabilized..

Keep my fingers crossed!!

Recent Trip : Siem Reap

Siem Reap : Cambodia - I only got to know about this place when AL babbling that she wants to go to this place, right after our trip back from Bali on 2008. She wants to see Angkor Wat!! Ok, then I got the picture.. Angkor Wat is located at Siem Reap.

We touched down at Siem Reap International Airport around 8 am of 17 Jul and was greeted by our tour guide, a young Cambodian lady with the name of Chenna. We checked into SiemReapRooms- a small guest house run by a Brit name Phil. The Phil I know from work is a tall, and thin man and this Phil is tall and wide, well I would comment it's a lil bit like Jorn' size.. lol..

First stop - Tonle Sap Lake, known to be the largest fresh water lake in South East Asia. The boat ride from the jetty is slow due to the shallow water. It dry season had just ended, and Jul suppost to be the start of rainy season. Journey to the centre of the lake tooks us about 15 mins. When we reach the centre of the lake, it's amazingly huge. Acc to Chenna, the depth of the centre of the lake is only at 3 metres.

The people/ fisherman who live in the lake is full of hard ship. We say parents put their small kids (less than 5 years old) on the boat, and they peddle following the tourist boats - to sell canned drinks with the price of UDS 1/can. There's even a little girl with a phython on the hands, waiting hopefully for people to come and take pictures with her therefore she can charge for the service - USD 1 maybe?

We saw a lot of mothers having their young kids/ babies on the boat - again selling cheap beers, soft drinks... and maybe some local fruits. These parents keep on having children as they do not have any retirement plan/ fund. Their only hope for their pension funds - their numerous children. But seeing them living their life on the boat, and on the lake - it's almost impossible for them to have a better chance to live a better life. We are very fortunate!!

Life.. Full on uncertainty...

I had a shock last 2 weeks when one of my best friend told me that she is getting married out of a sudden. She is a 3rd party of a union and we are between "knows-about-it, but-never-question-about-it cos she never admitted the relationship with us.

Well, 'd plan was on for the past 18 mths and we knows nuts about it, and they had a 'lil one had comes - and she wants to perform the chinese ceremony for the sake of the parents & the close family.. We as a friend have no choice, but have to support her decision.

The plans were on, she is rushing here and there for all the arrangements, purchases and etc.. Not to forget the EGMs with family members concerning the "union" and the man is still attached. Why on earth this is happening to my friend?

On 02 Dec, we received her sms informing us that her 'lil one in 9 weeks old is no longer growing and the heart beat had stopped. A heartache to receive the news and she lost her 'lil one. And her plans still continues. Talking about the will of a hard-headed woman. About "The Man" - knows him not well, so I am reserving my comment bout him. All the guys comment on him is on the negative side.. We are doing it for the sake of our dear friend...

All of us suppose to be rejoice as my other friend's union is on this very weekend, and we really want to enjoy her nuptial and giving her our full blessing.

Will be seeing more pictures uploaded after the 6th....
