All for one

I am going to write all stories about my life in just one entry. Don't know how it will turn up, but I will definitely try... as time is always not enough for me nowadays... especially when I think of what has happened to Hani Mohsin, on 25th July 2006... may his soul rest in peace.. I don't want to waste any single second... but obviously I have to waste some seconds, for obvious reasons - dreaming that I have 25 hours a day, 8 days a week!

Where to start?

How about I lost my professional "baby sitter", so to speak, as Che Aa is now on her own, out of my house since 7th July 2006... She has been upgraded to serve a college, so bye-bye secondary school teacher title and say hello to a lecturer! Bravo, Congratulations, Tahniah.... Of course she's happy with her new rented semi-D house with 4 bedrooms, fully equipped with furniture, curtains, garden and not to mention electric gate - what else do you need? My 2nd girl, Kak Lina really really missed her, as she was barely 2 years old when Che Aa starts to stay with us... and she now lost her best friend! I must say, I have to thank Che Aa for doing such wonderful works with my kids, especially educating them while I'm not around! I love you dearly sis....

Then I discover that I am going to get more nieces/nephews.... yippeeeeee... Cik Yan & Mama Azidah are pregnant! The not so "wow" factor is that I have received "warning" from my mom-in-law, NOT to get pregnant and have any baby next year... coz the expected new borns are to join us in mid Jan and mid Mar 2007 ... a back-to-back confinement period for my MIL.... pity her... but no worries, kak Long (a.k.a eldest sis) is on the way to the rescue! I am not planning for my 4th just yet, as Adriana is just 1 year 5 months!

My consulting work is so far so good. Still am trying to improve and sell myself better. A cousin is running a consultancy firm as well, and has invited me to join in... I'll think and consider first.. so many options, so little time.. not to forget that I still have my masters programme to think about.... TO DO or NOT TO DO yet... hmmm a battle that only I, me & myself can resolve...how ??

Baby Adriana has developed her "defense" startegy rather well... to bite people who annoys her! There are times when "you know who" will take away her toys, her feeding bottle, her biscuits, etc etc... and being a baby still, what option does she has? The funny thing is, only Kak Lina will get bitten, not Adilah... maybe because physically, Adilah is bigger and tougher to chew! hahahaha... but I still adore them all...

I got a new toy, N71. Cool, can snap pictures and record videos whenever I like.... it comes with CD but am yet to complete studying all the available features... changing phone is not my call.. It's entirely up to "you know who". He just decide, buy and there comes changes! I am still consistently laughing at myself, whenever I make a fool (of myself) with this new N71... Darn.....!

Oh yes, my colleagues was accepted for their MSS (Mutual Separation Scheme). As the public in Malaysia may have known, MAS for the first time in history, if offering MSS to the staff! The good part - those who apply and got it are very happy (and very rich tooo00). The bad part - those who apply and was turn down - we have got to manage these devastated, frustated and angry colleagues.... I must agree that to certain extend, there's is so many "wrongs" than rights in this MSS exercise...

As of now, all I can say is, I just want to live my life to the fullest, love my family and myself! So to all of you out there, remember this - life is precious, use it well!

Can anyone help me to understand please?

I don't know if I am a bit emotional when it comes to the "successful single lady" issue - I have sisters who are really really doing well in their careers but not yet married and they are 30++ yrs old...

What is it so hard for people to understand that it is not their decision to still be single until now? Yes, they do want to settle down (maybe the time, the Mr/Miss right is yet to be met, the constraints, etc etc)... What right does the society has to be thinking that they don't want to??

Why can't people accept that it is OK, PERFECTLY OK for them
1. to manage things on their own (they are not disable... so don't treat them like one...)
2. to have a mind of their own (just because they are single, doesn't mean they can't think!)
3. to have their own circle of friends (who are honest, loyal and trustworthy friends)
4. to do what they like (they can be a book worm, a crazy computer geek, an activist, a social worker etc)
5. to be weird (other people do crazy weird stuff too....)
6. to be difficult sometimes (don't we all do that?)

So single successful ladies and men out there.... tell me... please enlighten me..... I am just "running" out of ideas to justify for your rights to just be who you are !

Why can't we love STATISTICS?

Everything that you do is a process
In every process there is data
Data can be continuous or attribute
Continuous data is easier to manage than attribute data
Attribute data is also powerful to determine performance
Performance can be monitored
Monitoring of data should start from the gauge itself
Inaccurate gauge mean inaccurate analysis
Always analyse data for process control and capabilities
Process capabilities keeps you on the target
Process control keeps your customer happy...........

And all of these ramblings has something got to do with statistics! What on earth am I talking about?

Note: Cik Aa is leaving for Sg. Petani - she's gonna be working for teaching college now... waaaa, no more partner for my mid-night chat on weekends!
