tesa Last Durian Party

tesa has been organizing durian party since past 2 years. We had another one last Friday, this will be the last durian party organized by tesa before her shutting down. Everyone just put aside the sadness of the company future and enjoyed the party so much.

Beside 150pcs of durian, there were mangoesteen, rambutan and langsat, each 50kg. We have 2 voluntarily men to open the durian for everyone there. Pity them to be the first one to open the durian but the last to taste it..... this is tesa spirit. We finished everything in an hour and everyone shown a thumb up for it.

Em..... yummy! D24 & 101.

We gotta miss the party next year.

New Clothes For Her....

He he…. I find another solid reason to go shopping now. Audrey needs new clothes as I find many of her clothes inside the wardrobe couldn't fit her, she grows! It’s time to replace and keep her old clothes inside the box before passing down to her sister. Poor Shannen, got to wear her sister’s old clothes (still in good condition) for at least next few years. Not only garments, but her sister’s shoes and toys also will be passed down to her to save mummy’s pocket.

This remind me when I was young, I used to be the one who always got 2nd or 3rd hand garments from all my elder sisters. No choice I’m the youngest daughter in the family, I understand why my mum would not like to spend new items on me. And today, I’m still having the pleasure to screen through and bring back some unwanted clothes from my 3rd sister. Most of her unwanted clothes are in good condition, some even brand new and she got many reasons to give it away like not fitting her, out of fashion, colleagues/someone are having the same clothes, no chance to wear it & etc. I’m more than happier to get those FOC clothes from her every year end or during her spring cleaning. It save me a lot. Thanks!

Ops…drag too far already. Talking about getting new clothes for Audrey, wondering anymore sales coming these few weeks. Em….already have an idea where to shop for her new clothes……Branded Outlet at Ikano. I love the design of clothes they sell in this store and you will find the price quite reasonable except a half cut label being tagged on the clothes. Some people really care and mind of that but not me.

How about buying her clothes online? Em... I'm not convinced to do so without have it on hand (to turn around), feel it and try it to check the fitnesses. Am I too 'out'..... :P

Mummy, I can't see it.....

OMG, we just discovered Audrey is having eyes sight problem. Recently she did complaint her eyes were pain when studying. At first I thought she might probably be too tired and didn’t get enough sleep. But after my 3rd follow up on her about this, I suspected something wrong with her eyes sight. I wish it’s not true.

We did a test yesterday night by asking her to read alphabetical from big font to smaller font (like those poster used by Paediatric Ophthalmology). She can’t tell the alphabetical after reached certain level of font which I could see it clearly. It’s breaking heart news to us. I’m stunned for few minutes to figure out whether we can do something to get her eyes sight back to normal, just any…..

We will be bringing her to England Optical shop for eyes test tonight, will then decide whether to send her for eyes specialist (ISEC) in Mid Valley later on.

Unforgettable Day - 5th June 2009

No doubt I knew it much earlier, but still the official announcement fell on this date. Our MD and 2 others VP came and made announcement of closing down the plant in front of all the employee at about 3.10pm.

Everyone looked calm after being notified and it's within my expectation. But 3 of them (MD & VPs) looked a bit nervous and worried if workers can't accept the decision made by the board. Their worried are too much. Our workers are very timid and not outspoken especially facing "mat salleh". Of course, heroin is out there to speak on their behalf. But you need strong and collective response to make something miracle happen.

I could see some sad faces around. But due to the rumors went around before hand, no surprises for everyone when official announcement being released. One thing I noticed was when the shut down being announced followed by the severance package, no one could actually fight for reason of shutting down. I think the package has keep their mouth shut. Of course management did explained the reason was due to economic slow down that make us suffer but all the while we are doing well except for Q1'09 which recorded negative margin. We just couldn't understand the future vision the board have in mind.

After the gathering, some of the crews (ladies operator) who already been working here for at least 15 years cried out from their heart. They have hard feeling to close the factory.

How do I feel? After 9 years and 9 months working with this company, I never aspect this will be the 'ending' for her. When think of the effort we have put in the past years to make the company become profitable, and all this will soon turn to ash in another 6 months, my heart feels pain.

My plan? Em.....aggressively searching job now. Wish me luck.

tesa slogan : Says 'yes' to tesa........but why tesa says 'no' to us now? :(

Yeee....Geram-nya!

Just have a quarrel with someone in the company. This fellow is so sensitive that he thought I like to find fault on him. Keep on saying that he lost credibility and trust to others due to my action taken last 2 days. Am I that powerful to make a management team member lost his trust to others so easily, em....I'm Power Puff Girl.

What I did was just counter checked on the work that he claimed already done and want us to issue official order and make payment to supplier. I think he's syndrome down. He thought for a job costs few thousand could be justified easily with his signature on the invoice. How can I talk to a fellow that got no brain? How to make him understand that we are MNC with proper procedure and policy to follow. I'm still thinking that I'm doing the right thing as per my job description and within my job responsibility. He's trying to twist around.

He said he feels so annoying when someone told him that I don't trust him. Come on, he himself shall think why I have such perception towards him. What have he done that make us (not only me) feel so? To me, it's very simple, if you think you didn't commit to any hanky-panky kind of thing, you shouldn't be threatened by others action. Unless "he got shit over his body", means done something not sincere/dishonest.

Our company got such a "future" also need to thank him for his contribution.

Daddy's Gal

Every time when we go outing or shopping, hubby will be the one looking after his daughters, Shannen & Audrey as he know mummy will be busy keeping her eyes on something else. But now Audrey is big enough that we just let her move around as long as within our eyes sight. Furthermore, if with the presence of her cousin sister (Yen Yee), she will no longer following us holding our hands. So hubby's concentration now is on this little 'bulat'. She still requires our attention. Nowadays, she like to walk by her own without holding our hand. She doesn't feel scare if we are out of her eyes sight. She will just walking around to find us. Unlike her sister, Audrey who will start crying when she can't see us when she was at Shannen's age.

Shannen is 'generous' in giving kisses to daddy when being requested. Daddy will then show off happily to mummy.... :D

Taman Warisan Pertanian

We were stretching our heads for places to go last two weekend. Due to it will be quite a big group of us, we wish to find a place that is less crowd and preferable we are not there before. At last, my BIL suggested we go Taman Warisan Pertanian located at Putrajaya and later on we can have our dinner at Alamanda.

This parkland was actually a big land that plant many different type of tropical fruits. For 'sua ku' people like me, I find it quite interesting as I could see the fruits trees that I might not been seeing so far. We walked along the pathway to see the fruits trees. For each type of fruits, they have allocated piece of land for it. Visitors are not allowed to pick or plug the fruits because all the fruits there are meant for selling to visitors (fruits stall located at the entrance). All of us especially the children enjoyed exploring this land.

Ciku's tree

Jackfruit's tree

Noni's tree

The weather was warm and sunny even though it's 6pm. All of us were sweating and hungry. So we decided to stop halfway without completing the whole journey. Since it's free entry, we can come back as and when we like.

Shannen so excited as food will be served soon
