I had a mean diarrhea today. I couldn't sleep, I was in pain, I practically slept in the toilet, ended up not going to work because I could not even drag myself up to get dress.
And the best part is, one of my staff tendered her 24 hours resignation, letting me know via SMS with a little thank you note. The whole process of terminating her on the system... argh! If not for the exotic belly dancing going on in my gut and the repeated visits to the throne...
Unless if they had something like this...
Like I said, its a thankless process, people resign left and right this year. Forking awesome. More shat for me to bear, I have to get more people soon to be prepared for October campaign. Even though by end of October I will bit my adieu to them, I want to make sure things are done right at least while I am around.
Why do I care right? Saving my pals' asses that's why. At this point of time, I don't know how to motivate the team. I am just scared of a chain reaction or some sort. It will be like trying to close the holes in a sinking boat. The training takes forever, when somebody leaves it takes a long time to recover the same efficiency.
Thus, me being stupidly apologetic of quitting to certain people. Meh, that is a different story now... I am just the white elephant anyway.
I don't want to be like this dude :
I kept thinking about it. But finally, I've done it. The craziest stunt I have ever pulled in my entire life.
I tendered my resignation last Friday.
I didn't update about it earlier because my boss asked me to think about it again during the weekend.
2 years versus 2 days, I let myself think about it between looking at Jobstreet, emailing friends, chatting, twittering, watching Japanese Dorama and getting scolding from my mother for spending the whole day in the room like a nutcase that I am.
So come Monday, I reported in and went through my day as always. Work that I have grown to despise so much inside. Silently calculating 2 months from 21st of August 2009. Which will be the longest stretch of 2 months of my life.
Then at 9.00pm, my boss finally messaged me. "So, you are really going to leave me, aren't you?"
Nani kore? I am watching too many Japanese serials now I am getting weird message from my boss too.
"Leaving XXXX, we are still friends as long as you want to stay as my friend," I responded. I always leave the ball on the other side of the court for stuff like friendship.
"I am crying inside that you are leaving."
Sonna... what am I suppose to say? "Would you rather keep a friend who is in pain by your side?"
My boss has always been my boss from the beginning. When I joined in, I reported to him. He was there through the six months of hell. I cried to him in my frustration during the difficult period of the migration. But once BAU, he had to leave for a different team within the same department. I myself changed through three different bosses but somehow, I settled back to him about a year after I was promoted, by that time he was promoted as well. For the span of 4 years plus, it is almost like I have always been reporting to him. From his view, as we are both Scorpios, we have so many things in common. My actions he would always understand because he would do the same thing, except this one. Me resigning, it was a huge body slam to him but I never meant to give him such grief, my anger and pain never came from him. I guess, he is there as a collateral damage.
"You have to tell me how to do this, I don't know which form to use." He needed to process my resignation but since he was promoted 2 years ago, he hasn't had an external attrition that warrant him to process it, while I have gone through too many thanks to my thankless process.
"Let's see. You need to complete the notification of resignation form, my leave card, the resignation letter, you need to sign, name and date it on the date you accepted it, and also terminate me on the Peoplesoft, 2 months from the date of the letter." I deftly told him the steps. It did not escape me how morbid it is as I walk-through the process on how to terminate myself. I wonder how many people go through this bizarre moment in their life when they resign.
"Want me to process it?" I offered.
"No, I'll do it. So that the thought of you leaving will finally settle down in my head." he refused. "How do I terminate on Peoplesoft?"
I explained "From 21st of August, plus 2 months. My last physical date will be 20th October, so termination date should be 21st October."
"What happen if you do it wrong?"
"They will tell you the correct way then you have to do it again."
"Do I need to do this tonight?" Funny that a reverse role happened on my termination on the system.
"Yes, or 3 working days from the date you received the letter. Either way."
":("
Thus, the conversation between me and my boss, spanning the messaging system then later on in person before reverting back on the messaging system.
Either he is playing around so I feel guilty and decided to retract my resignation, or he is genuinely sad...
Deep inside, I am swaying but the thought of doing this for another 2 months strengthened my resolve again.
I also had a talk with my AVP.
His advice "Don't let your emotion dictate your decision."
So true, but I have gone completely bonkers here. He couldn't even understand the extent of it...
Ok, some do try to 'protect' themselves with the mask. But the crowd was something else, at a few points, people could hardly move. If someone suddenly shouted BOMB!! there could be death today.
Another angle of the madness. Ooh babies, they should have known better to bring young children in such a highly crowded place like this.
Colourful choices of drinks from left to right, melon, corn, sirap, keladi and bandung. All with the goodness of added preservatives, colorings and artificial flavours but what the heck, as if I even care about all that!
Ayam percik, the legs. I bought one of this. I haven't eaten it yet, its in the rice cooker being kept warm for sahur.
I bought one of this too. The breast and side part.
I could have taken a much better picture quality as there were countless array of kuih muih, all in different colours you can think off. I doubt they can sell all of them in one afternoon, so what happen to the rest?
The stuff they sell on the stick. The usual food fan fair for pasar malam also on sale during Ramadhan. Fish balls, crab balls, prawn balls, crab sticks, hot dogs, quail eggs, dimsum, wanton wantan, anything they can stuck a stick through is here.
This is only 1/25 of what on sale, there are repeat shows but there are so many other stuff on sale, tapping on Malaysia consumerism during Ramadhan month. One rejoicing factor to me to have other races joining in the fun, yes, I am all in for the Ramadhan bazaar food escapade. Just have to be careful on your expenditure though.
For this afternoon alone, I had Kuih tepong komak RM2, Murtabak RM10, Ayam Percik RM9, Soy drink RM4. Just four items and I spent RM25, can't be spending this much daily on bazaar haul. I have another 29 days to go.
Selamat Berpuasa Ramadhan Al-Mubaraq everyone!
We spend a night at a Bungalow in PD yesterday. Best woo!!!!
But I was spooked out because while there were many residence around, the house itself is a little tucked away by the seaside. Awesome to hear the waves crashing the beach and ebbing away. While it is still swimable, the sea was pretty rough and when the tide rolls in, it is only 1 or 2 metres away from the gate of the house. The house itself is on higher ground, you have to descend down the pathway to get to the beach.
The house was built in the 1950's and it is huge. It has three bedrooms with its own bath in each. The best feature of the house I guess is the living room which overlooks the sea, it has five sliding door panels.
Huge trees surrounded the house. It is super shady and the environmentalist in my heart marvels that the trees managed to grow so big but my typical Malay believes of the supernatural is spooked by this. The best part is the sliding door which is like super wide has no curtain what so ever. Wondered what things outside could see the inside at night HUHUHU!
I didn't take any pictures there, believe it because I was thinking what if I found some mysterious things in the background HAHAHA!!! I couldn't make myself go out alone even, I had to ask my brother to send me to the shop at 9.00pm. Penakut gila tak aku?
We left the house at around 11.00 am and made our way back. Stopped by PD town for lunch at Kopitiam Pak Lang.

The set up for children. Note the funny pose of the foreground subject.
Great fun! The flowers were gorgeous and doing their best to look great under the unrelenting sun. Everything were really beautifully set up but my N80 did not give them justice.
