My Boss started this thing called 'weekly toolbox' to sort of serve as one stop discussion for all in the department. Its scheduled every Wednesday morning. This is the second week we are having this.
Things has been bad for a couple of months and will not recover anytime soon. Our counterparts in this region starts to slow down and 2 OU is going for total shutdown.
3 OU in Europe are being put on sale. These are the top quartile units, and even then they could not sell it off yet. Many people will lost the place that they started. Being in a plant is like the beginning of everything in my career, many other top notch people started of from here. I know how it feels to lost the place where you start your journey, its sad, I know because I've lost my high school.
Things are not the same though, because we are an operating unit that generate revenue, and nowadays its all about the money. We have to live to the fact that one day, all things must come to and end. I hope the company that I am working here is not that soon. We, for the time being are still save due to Malaysian market. So does the other 3 refineries in Malaysia.
So much for the work talk, must get back to actual work.

BBGS Gala Reunion
Went to the BBGS Gala Reunion last night. It was held at once stood our alma mater, Pavillion. From batch of '98 only less than 15 of us showed up. None of us won the temptatious lucky draws (kinda sour grape about this..hehehe..). But that's not the main thing, seeing the spirit lives on last night was memorable. I did not bring any camera, so now waiting for Shaz to post it.
My favorite has got to be the choir singing 'Centenary Song'. I remember when I was in Form 4, I couldn't sing that song, I will be quickly reduced to tears everytime I sang that song, I don't know why. And then we went for Interstate Choral Speaking (representing KL) and we won!!! After that I can sing the song without shedding any tears. I love the song so much that once during orientation week in UiTM, I was asked to sing any song just to get one of the seniors' signature. I couldn't decide what song to sing so I sang the 'Centenary Song' ;)
There were also slide shows of old pictures from the rest of the girls. But somehow we (at least Hasliza and I) felt a bit disconnected, probably because there were no pictures from our time. All of the pictures are from 70's and 80's. On my personal point of view, the montage that Lily did last year during our batch reunion was the BEST. I realised have not posted it anywhere yet. (Shaz posted in FB, but tagging limited to 30 peoples).
I tried uploading but it failed, the montage was too big....isk..will try some other means.

H1N1
Received this mail from a colleague....
Forwarded by a friend of friend, Alhamdulillah, hamba Allah yang sorang ni is detail enough to jot down her experiences. Read on for our own benefit.
H1N1 story
High risk infection to person yg smooking, has atshma, children, pregnant woman
Beginner stage
Batuk, selsema, demam, sakit tekak, bila terbesin bunyi tak kuat...
Second Stage
Susah bernafas, simtom macam asthma but not asthma, at this stage if you touch the person, or breath in the same room 80% boleh kena...masa ni kena kuarantin...at hospital. Masalahnya sekarang dah ramai yg kena. hospital tak cukup katil & bilik kuarantin...Bila u pengsan macam nak mati baru dia org admitted.macam kes adik I.
Critical
Lung infection. Bila X ray we can see the virus covered the lung. Like my brother case. Very scary bila tengok x ray tu. At this stage u need oksigen with highest level, Strongest antivral..very high drug. At least 7 days oksigen kena bagi. % to recover depend to age, imune badan u. That's why kalau baby atau budak2 susah nak kata...normally die. My brother hari ni genap 8 hari..still need oksigen. Kesian dia. Masa tahap critical tu tercungap2 dia bernafas, sampai menangis..Sampai satu tahap dia berguling atas simen sbb dah tak tahan...sampai dia give up ..sampai dia blh cakap lebih baik Allah ambik nyawa dia...Itu lelaki tu..imagine kalau pompuan atau budak2. We all cuma blh tengok dia dari cermin...tak blh masuk dlm bilik kuarantin...Dr & nurse aje boleh masuh...siap pakai baju plastik. To support him, what we did bagi sms, bagi dia alquran biar dia baca so that dia tenang, bagi tasbih biar dia zikir ingat Allah & bagi Air yasin...Alhamdulillah pastu dia ok sikit.Ada hikmahnya...All the family member unite to support my brother fighting the virus.
Masalahnya hospital swasta tak terima H1N1 case, sekarang ni semua depend hospital kerajaan yg most of the doctors still young . The oldest dr in my brother ward was 28 years. All the Otai dah pergi private. Lepas tu plak this is the first time to treat H1N1 patient. At the same time dr bz with other case as well...1 doktor 5 patient...kat gov hospital...kesian dr2 tu...berhempas pulas nak selamatkan patient. I appreciate them, mmg very appreciate dia org jaga adik i dgn baik sekali..So far hospital Ampang is the best goverment hospital yg i jumpa..very efficient.Very quick action ..Even senior dia org dah pergi private & they don't have much experience , dia org tetap work hard give the best treatment to the patients..sampai tak balik rumah...tidor kat hospital.
Rasa nak peluk & cium dia org sebab selamatkan adik I...Thanks to Allah
Take care and just be aware of the people around us as well....(especially the high risk people)
p/s: its better to share this kind of info rather than those ridiculous anti-ISA propaganda and speculation about arwah Yasmin's biological state.

Hari Malas Sedunia......
After I realised that I screwed up, I felt demotivated and even downgraded to plain lazy.....this is getting really bad now that I am blogging about it. i was surfing and surfing and now I'm almost drown..
Hey I even googled on 'How to Overcome Laziness' kay? I did an online personality quiz as well. Bet many have tried this. The results is....(drumroll puh leezzz...)
Get to know yourself better
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
I need help....to re-boot myself maybe?

I feel bad
I screwed up at work. Something I did/ did not do/ or shouldn't have done. Trying to be honest and got caught up in the brouhaha with the top management. Ouch..this will not go away for a long time....**mn
May Allah Bless You
This is the second time I am writing obituary this year, within less than 1 month period. It is true, death can come knocking your door anytime,anyplace,anyhow.
She is a very well respected filmmaker. Her artpiece moved people, shows the unity among us, Malaysian. She was the pioneer on the new age movie making and although I have heard rumours (i.e doutbfull news) about her, she is the one that earns my respect compared to other Malay filmmakers.
Hope her movies will still be remembered as it is not just mere movies for entertainment, she educates her viewers as well. And for that long live education via film by Allahyarhammah Yasmin Ahmad. May you'll be accorded a place in Jannah, rest in peace and may Allah bless you. Al-Fatihah.
