jus doodling

well.... jus updating so that I dont appear too lazy... anyway, C3 shld be in desaru now.... hai.... its a pity I cant join all of u.
Anyway, my presentation is on tue... and I've reserved the weekend to rehearse and prepare myself... think its a big thing... never presented in front of so many big shots before.... well.... dono lah... I'm amazingly calm abt it though.. Its strange actually. cos' when I had to present to my director previously, I was really nervous .... for the whole week..... but for this presentation... which is even bigger..... I'm strangely calm abt it... I believe it's cos' I've been asking ppl to pray that I'll be calm for my presentation and I'll be at peace.... so I credit it to God :)
Anyway, as for now, I'm still harbouring the hope of not being asked to present... I hope that the PS will decide that a presentation will not be necessary cos they had read the paper :P
well, but my AD said that ... "sure present one lah".... well that kinda dash my hope... but I still hv 3 days to prepare..... jus pray for me that I'll hav a super good memory so that I'll be able to remember wat I wrote in my briefing notes... and I'll stay calm and i'll be able to articulate well.

ok... let me share with u something interesting yesterday.......... my office is situated 10-15 min walk away from HQ.... yesterday alone, I walk to HQ 3 times and back..... wow! quite frustrating actually... esp. the last trip. ok, here's how it goes..... at 11am: I took a ride from my colleague to HQ to submit my presentation slides to my AD and director for approval.... so afterthat, we travelled back to office in her car... so that was not tat bad.... at 1230: we went for lunch. during lunch, I receive a call from my boss.... she ask me to replace the covering min I sent with my presentation slides to "for your information" instead of "for your approval" and include the briefing notes in the file.......hai.... so at 2pm: I walked from office to HQ (AD's office) to replace the doc... had quite a long chart with my AD.... went back to office.... and when I reach office... within 5 min.. I receive a call from my director..... (this is really rare!!!! director usu. dont talk to u on the phone directly.... so that kinda freak me out!!) ... he asked me to see him now!!! Iwas like... erm... ok..... so I frantically got all the document ready thinking that he has alot of comments to make abt the slides.... and in 10 min time... I walk back to HQ (director's office) ... perspiring and all........... anyway, I apologise for keeping him waiting.....(actually I purposely said that so that he will ask me why I took so long :P) and told him that I came from the institution office....... and he was really surprise.... he said that in that case.. he shldnt hv asked me to come over...... so he gave me his comments..... and guess wat... there were only ONE comment to ONE slide lah!!!! urrrrrhhhgghhghgh........ I was like.... "huh.. that's it?!!!" and he said yah!!! ... irritating lah...... anyway, I told him that actually I was at AD's office jus awhile ago b4 I went back to my office.... I think he felt abit bad lah... so he apologise..... well so that was nice... and he tried to make some small talk before I left..... still I felt pretty stupid lah... make me rush like mad for a simple... mini comment... well... but he dono I work across the street lah... and he apologise... which my colleague was surprise to hear... so I guess.... its not his fault.... but my colleague was like " u so daring to tell him that!" hahaha.... well that's me...... :P

anway,... jus wanna share somthing that my AD was sharing with me yesterday.... his a really nice guy.... very encouraging.... he said that since God had seen this project through thus far... and if God willing he will continue to see it through.... and that we are God's instrument in making a difference in these ppl's life! wow! then he said that he always commit it to God with that in mind and ask God to help him to present with clarity and convincingly.... and lastly, if they really turn down the idea... to ask God for an open and teachable heart.... so that I can learn from this experience.... :) wow... so nice.... so I ask him to remember me in prayer and he said of cos.... so sweet lah!

anyway, he was so sweet and encouraging... he told me tat the other day.... he and director and another AD was talking and director was commenting that a paper submitted to him from HR was really bad staff work.... quite badly done... and director commented that the paper I put up is good and that the writer obviously know wat is required and wat she's doing...... so he ask who wrote it... then my ADs.. said its me :)..... so he decided to tell me and encourage me.... ehehhehe.... so nice...

ok.... last thing to share.... this is something James wanted me to put in the blog so that whoever reads it can be alerted and help me if possible.... anyway, 2 days ago I was woken up by my headache... I think its a migraine cos its one sided...... and it didnt go away even after taking panadol.... it happened to me a few times b4,.... quite strange cos.... who wakes up from a headache rite...... I've never heard of anyone like that............. headache is suppose to go away when u rest and sleep.... not wake u up in the middle of ur sleep at 4am...... well... if anyone knows wat's happening... pls enlighten and diagnose me :)

tat's all folks.
