End of Life & Counting my Blessings

Life came to and end:
1. My SONY Discman.. Which served me for 4 years plus or 5…sob sob. now no more CD player to play CD in my room.
But, I just realized it's my bro who bought/paid that for me back then.. How blessed..

2. My Adidas pink water bottle is threatening to end its service too.. When I squeeze it, feels like water spurting out through a very tiny hole, which I can't see.
But I was already quite amazed that this bottle lived beyond its expected or normal counterpart life span!!
Previously all my including red Manchester United, Black Nike, what else.. A green plastic bottle. Serve me up to six month only! And the tip of the bottle will malfunction and cause leak. But this amazing blessed PINK ADIDAS bottle, without realising served me from mid/late 2004 up till now 2006!! Wah, almost 1 year plus..
Amazing.. Clap clap clap. Love the sweet color..
Next time I'll buy a nice purple or deep sea color Nalgene maybe..

3. My mini cactuses on my workplace desktop has started blooming babies again! After like a period of dryness and sign of dying off (coz probably I forgot/didn't water it? And everytime I water them, I'm afraid they'll get oo much water and die.) And some are babies of the first batch of babies which grew like rabbit ears out from the main stem..what a joy!! To see them. So cute!!
Actually I had only 1 pot, given by my boss when we shifted to new office. Everyone also gets a pot. But because I put mine on the upper part of my desk top where there's heat, and there were growth (condusive environment), 2 other collegues who don't own desktops but laptops put theirs for nurturing on my desktop. Another collegue left the company and gave hers to my comp. And now I have 4!!!.
will put pic in another time and will try capture pic of the recent one now!!
(the pic of it ard 5-6 months ago)..

4. Today had my first teleconference meeting for a project study. Gotta take minutes. At the end, my collegue helped me to bring up or clarify and clear up any issues pertaining my new responsibilities of handling DCCF/Queries for Thailand site. As it's a new transfer and there maybe outstanding stuff that was not cleared before I take up the job, and also to see if it'll be too heavy for me. In from there, th discussion brought up to whether my role as CPA should be the one to follow-up on the sites to chase and get back the Queries on time or the CRAs should be doing it. In my heart, oh no, follow-upping on queries trying to call, fax the sites where the people can be quite uncontactable, and slow to do things especially Mal can kill you! If not take up your whole day! Not to mention there were numerous sites for each country. And I hate doing that! I really prayed in my heart that time, God.. Please please don't let me do the job..the senior CRA was pro the CPA helping to F.UP as they will be travelling and thank God my project manager prefers the CRAs to follow-up. And in the end, my job stays free from the nightmare. I'll just do the faxing, and inform CRAs bout what needs to be F.Uped. PTL!!!


5. What else..
Think there's something else but I forgot.

Anyway, today finally I got to approach my boss to apply for leave of my church camp in early June. Realised I need to inform him earlier before he tries to put or push back the coming regional CRA training from end May to June! Heared news but he hasn't fix it yet.
I don't want to miss the training week le..
I gave him the form at end of the day, and found out that he's already intending to have the training week in 1st week of June. So does it clash??
YES!!! Arrghh!!! (will miss the last 2 days if 1 go off on Thurs & Fri) God. Nvm, I'm still praying hard. If not, I'll have to make a choice and execute my plan already in time..
God PLEASE???
