What a sucky sucky day!

Superexcited played up today. He complained to Lao er and my manager saying that he had to turn down a demo to a potential client because we haven't got the demo site ready. I honestly don't know the way he complained, but that made Lao er and water tap turned panicky and cranky. And when they superexcited puts so much pressure on them, they turn... Simply annoying!

Superexcited said that IT is not proactive enough. We need to be chased, if not then we don't give them updates. For example on the page he asked little missy to work on. He said he hasn't heard anything from him, but the truth is, little missy had shown him last Friday but superexcited didn't like it, so little missy needs to rework it. Today is Tuesday. He complained this morning.

Second one which makes him really really angry was the fact that he had to turn down the demo request. He said it's been weeks and IT hasn't finished it. When Lao-er told us about it, Barbie girl said that we've only discussed it on Friday and we've just got the mock up yesterday morning. Lao er, exactly his wordings, "I don't care about any excuses, but this is a hundred thousand potential client, so it needs to be done. And when the director wants something done, you do it!". Woah woah.. what the....

The thing is, the directors knew we're gonna be asked for demo this week. And all along, superexcited has been checking the progress. Barbie girl has been working with him all these time and been given grief as his requirements keep changing all the time! Superexcited knows the progress, so why suddenly gets aggravated?? You know everything and had reviewed it last Friday! He reminds me of the boss in My Stupid Boss. Amnesia akut!

And then water tap. Because of all these proactive stuffs, he got me to fwd the notification emails that get sent when I update a task to the people within the campaign. But, the words he said to me was, "for the next 3 weeks, everytime you update a task, fwd that email to everyone in the campaign. Because people don't read those notification emails". Hearing that, what I thought was, those notifications emails get sent to notify you any updates. It's everyone's jobs to read it, why don't you fix the people who don't do it instead of spoonfeeding it to their mouth??? But I only said yes.

Then, when I updated the task, I forwarded the email to everyone within the task. Then came all these questions, Broken water tap: "Why did you send it to Slitherin? Why did you send it to Crown Prince? Why did you send to so many people??".

Purple Lady: "??? You said to send it to everyone within the project??! Slitherin is in the notification list, crown prince is in the project, all those people are in the notification list!".

Broken Water Tap: "you don't understand what I mean! Don't send to everyone! Just send to people who need to know!"

Purple Lady: (saying to myself how do I know what u mean? You only said send to everyone in the campaign!!) Well they are all in the project, shouldn't they all need to know?? You said they don't read those notifications.

Broken water tap: not everyone doesn't read those. Only me, creamer, Lao er, prick and poker face!

Purple Lady: how do I know who doesn't read those emails????

Broken water tap: I told you I didn't read those emails!

Purple Lady: yeah but how do I know who else doesn't???

Leaking water tap: me, prick, Lao er get so many emails so we don't check them. You have to think!

Purple Lady: ok, so I just send it to those 5?

Rusty broken water tap: "Don't take it per condition like that, every case is different! Send only if they are in the campaign!"

Purple Lady: YEAHHH I mean if any of those 5 are in the project!!! (duh?? You said not to take it as condition like that, while u didn't specify exactly what you want. Now when I said those 5, but with pre conditions they are in the project, you yell at me because I didnt specify!! JERKKKKKKK *throwing a big rock at him*)

Damn water tap: "I'll send the emails next time, you don't understand"

Purple Lady: (I'm gonna swallow you whole alive) !?@%#&+#++@??!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!

Get the idea??? Those 2 are ughhhhhhh when superexcited pressures them. Can't believe Lao-er said "i don't care about excuses"! Barbie girl didn't even give excuses, he was just stating facts! And damn water tapppppppppp this is the second time he turns annoying like this. And after that in the arvo he acts like nothing happened! I still wanna eat youuuuuuuuu -_-!!!!!!

We Don't Own YouTube....

Water tap told this story last night.

Our company created a video about our company. Superexcited then wants to put it up on YouTube. So Water tap set up a YouTube channel to put it up. This is how he told me last night in our VIP group:

Miss Green: Hey, I saw the company video last night. Did you guys make it or outsourced it?

Water Tap: We made it...

Little Miss Nice: I saw the video as well.. Poker Face posted it the other day.
They started working on it last year yeah? Lol Is superexcited happy with it

Purple Lady: I haven't seen it XD

Miss Green: Surprised they haven't shown it in your meeting :-p

Water Tap: They did. Purple Lady must be sleeping in the meeting ;P nah... She was away when they did.

Water Tap: I set up the YouTube channel. I spent literally one whole day with you-know-who adding copy.

He wanted everything centered ... And it was really hard to explain him that we don't own YouTube ...

Little Miss Nice (and everyone in the group I'm sure): LMAO!

Little Miss Nice: Not laughing at you. Just at you-know-who. He just really doesn't get somethings ay lol I can only imagine how annoyed you would have been

Purple Lady: Nahhh he was looking very happy all day. I don't know if it was genuinely happy or hopeless happy hahahahaha

Water Tap: ha ha

Purple Lady: I like that quote, "hard to explain to him that we don't own YouTube" lol

Water Tap: He wanted to stop the next videos playing after our company video...
I was like ...

Purple Lady: *rolling on the floor laughing* hhahahhaahhahahahaha XD

My Seriously Stupid Colleague

I've mention this stupid colleague of mine before, let's call him Dudul. Because of him I came up with this idea, that he doesn't have ANY right to be a smartass. In order to be a smartass, you need to be smart and an ass. He's an ass, but not smart. So therefore he doesn't have the right to act like a smartass.

He's complained about me twice already. He said I was rude to him. So instead of writing "Hi Dudul, You did notice the person who wrote that note was water tap, didn't you?" (which I did), I should have written, "Hi Dudul, How are you? You might not notice, but it was water tap who wrote that note, not me."

Funny that he didn't complain about me when I told him, "Sometimes you just have to use common sense" -> I was really subtle saying "You're so dumb! Use your brain, will you??". He only said, "But sometimes when I do use common sense, it's still not right!". That means your so called common sense is not the other people's common sense you dummy!!

The other day he put on a note on a task that I was working on. He said, "Don't work on this anymore guys, I checked, and it seems that it fixes itself". Upon reading that, I straight away thought, "There's no way it fixed itself! It's data issue, it won't fix itself!". So I ran my checks and I was right. The data was still wrong. He just didn't know what to check -_- then I replied, "Are you sure? Please check Amy Adams for 1 May and 3 May. It's still wrong". Later on he replied, "One team, one unit! We should always back each other up! Thank you Purple Lady, you're right it's still wrong". -_-!! The reason my alert was on was because it's YOU! Because it was him who said it was fixed! It's because he always, always, and always makes mistakes! So I don't trust anything he says be it "this page doesn't work" or "I've checked and it's correct".

Not long after that, he came when I was helping Little Missy debugging. While we were talking, he cut us out and asked if the data sent to us this morning has been summarized. First thing first, I definitely hate it when people cut me off and then say "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt". Once is still valid, but if it happens every.single.time. he comes? You definitely mean to interrupt. So don't you dare saying you didn't mean to! That's what Dudul does.

So, back to that data. We straight away checked, and even though I checked until 2 AM records, I couldn't find those files.

Then I asked, "What time did they come?" Dudul: "10?"
*little birdie flies by..... This convo happened at 9:30 AM.
Little Missy and I (looked at the clock and in sync turned and faced him): "Last night?"
Dudul: "Yes"
Me: (face saying you are an idiot)
Little Missy: "You consider last night this morning?"
Dudul: (laughing like he is not an idiot and it is a completely normal mistake that anyone normal makes) I haven't had my coffee guys.
Me (straight face): I never had coffee in the morning. Everyone in IT never had coffee in the morning *continuing in my mind with "and we work with brain and we don't get dumb in the morning"*
Dudul (excitedly and proudly): "Yeah, but I'm different with you guys! I'm an addict! I need caffeine! I have drunk coffee since I was 4!" -> is that a thing to be proud of??
Me and Little Missy: (speechlessly laughing. I was really really speechless)
Me: (saying in my mind) "Maybe that's why you become so stupid. Too much coffee! Who drinks coffee since he's 4??? You're supposed to drink milk, you stupid!!!"

Seriously if there is any nicorete for coffee addicts, I'm considering shoving it into his mouth! We'll see if he's still this stupid after that -_-"

50+ Years of Friendship. Don't we all want that?

Hi!!! I'm just back from my holiday in New Zealand. Overall it was a great holiday, not as relaxing as I wanted it to be, but I'm pretty sure my mandarin listening has improved lol which reminds me that I have to reply to my cousin's email in Mandarin ughhhh.. it will take me at least an hour to write -.-

Anyway, there is this quote I heard in Criminal Minds.
Reid: There's an old Buddhist saying that, when you meet your soulmate, remember that the act to bring you together was 500 years in the making. So always appreciate and be kind to each other.
Lewis: That's lovely.
Reid: There's a corollary for friends. When you meet a true friend, you will be bound together though space and time for 500 years.

During this trip, we met 5 older women traveling together. They have been friends since they were in kindergarten. They are still very good friends until now that they each have grandchild! They are also still as crazy as they were younger lol They all live on the same road and they travel every year just the 5 of them, leaving the husbands at home. They said, they can't act crazy if their husbands are around XD Now 1 of them is living in Melbourne to help taking care of her newborn grandchild, so this year, the other 4 flew from Shanghai to Melbourne to meet her and then go on tours to New Zealand, Sydney, Gold Coast, Canberra and Brisbane. I believe they are still on tours now.

I think they are very blessed to be friends like that. That's a 50+ years of friendship! We'd be lucky enough if we have 10+ friendship that's still going strong. I do have a couple of great friends from 10 years ago, and I do hope we can still be close in 10 years time, but I know it's not everyone's blessing to have it. I think in Chinese they say, 这是她们的福气. I hope they stay friends until the end :)

So, make sure to treasure our friends and not take them for granted. One day we might not be close anymore, or one day they might get tired of asking you out and getting rejected and finally give up. So when it's still on, why don't we keep going on?


For my bestie, we're both besties and "hubbies" lol so, meaning our meeting has been in the making for 500 years, plus now that we are bestfriends now, we'll still be stuck together for another 500 years. So that's 1000 years of friendship!! We've done well lol XD and yep, you heard it right, still another 500 years stuck with me my friend :P
