7 Years in a Row

By Ers   July 07, 2012 // 1 comment
On my way home from the customer's site which by the way was very late, people were buzzing around the city and area around Suncorp Stadium, where the last origin game will be. I was excited about it but was quite disappointed because the I was not anywhere a telly. It would be late till I got home. Thankfully, it was just halftime when I set foot in our lounge. Queensland team, me being one, was ahead 6 points. After the half-time it was level to 20 and one of the Maroons did a field goal. It was historic. The stadium was all marooned, literally. Loads of logo golf balls won't find its way with the massive crowd. I'd say, I am a very proud fan.

Tummy Bug

By Ers   July 07, 2012 // 1 comment
The night I got back from being away for two nights, the little boy was ill. I was told he ate mix of food that didn't blend well together in his tummy. He's been sick 3 times before 12MN. I was worried of course but he weathered it like a trooper he is. Not too much whining. Another bout of sickness came around 3AM and I was not comfortable to leave him that day so I took a carer's leave, which my boss find didn't any problem despite the fact that one of our customers is going live (which people at work who are involved got a bronze bar so to speak). Thankfully, that day went really well. He was just perky as can be. Apparently, after talking to the staff at kindy a tummy bug is going around. Some of the kids at school were also sick. And an officemate of mine was also sick that week with the same cause. Thankfully, it didn't get any other of us at home.

Business Trip

By Ers   July 07, 2012 // No comments
I have been away from home for 2 nights in a row this week starting Monday. Our customer went live in their opening using our system. My two other colleagues went there to facilitate and assist. It was my first to be directly involved in the Go Live and yet despite my experience with just being a support at work while others are onsite, it was a pretty relax implementation. I reckon, it is attributed to the company really being ready for it plus the relationship that has been maintained all throughout. They went live on Thursday. I can say all the good things but then it will not be realistic then, is it. But I can only say something not so nice about the weather. Some mornings it was below zero but the use of ray ban 2132 during the day is still appropriate and for a tropical-blooded through and through it was a shock to my system. I had to use blankets and throw pillows as draught stopper. I survived.

Android Phone

By Ers   June 10, 2012 // No comments
My first smart phone is an Iphone and although I am not an apple products fan, I am quite happy with my phone. I didn't have to read the manual in details, I just checked how to operate it and everything went from there. Just this week, Mcj an android OS phone. It's quite good but oh how I don't like it. Those important settings and menu are not very explicit. I have a hard time deleting a contact - how weird is that? Oh well, it's just me I know. There are many who likes android OS tablets and phones - just like there are people who prefers different brand of stereo stand and stereo itself. Good thing, the phone is not mine. :)

Shopping List

By Ers   June 03, 2012 // No comments
How many of you use a shopping list when doing food shopping? How many of you religiously checking your shopping list when at the shops? There are many reasons that one should use a shopping list - savings, efficiency and most importantly for me, not forgetting anything. At one point, I have listed all the things that we need and use at home and then just tick those items that we need for the week. I have been good for a couple of weeks, then I got side-tracked, which means not printing the list before going to the shops. But deep down, I want to be some of those women who checks everything that gets into their shopping basket up to the last price, checking if they are buying liquid image summit series goggle. I have downloaded several apps to assist me but they are to tedious to update and keep up. So now, I am back to just listing what I can remember. Hopefully soon, I can make time and stick to my plan of using the shopping list.

New Haircut

By Ers   June 03, 2012 // No comments
I can't remember my last visit to a salon - it must have been sometime last year before we went back to the PHL. I know that you have to trim your hair every 6 weeks or so but I really can't spare so much of my weekends to sit and be snipped. Two months ago, Mcj trimmed my hair just to get rid of the un-ruly end. But this week I decided to give my favourite hair expert a visit. The funny thing when I was sitting getting ready to have my hair-cut, the customer next to me commented about my curly-dark hair and it seemed that if she had my hair, she wouldn't be there sitting. Oh well, frankly I liked my hair the way it was (per photo below) but it's winter and I want to put my hair down often - I want something new. Other than that, it'll just be put-up in a ponytail or hiding in riding helmets specifically my bike helmet.

Beauty of Life

By Ers   May 26, 2012 // No comments
Things happen for a reason and even these make us sad, bereft, lonely and down, the thought that there are reasons more worthwhile does not make one feel any better. But the pain ends eventually or more like it is ebbing down. But life goes on. And you move forward with the thought that what happened was for best for everyone. It does not make it less painful. Even dessy bridesmaid dresses provide little fun. Life is beautiful and full of surprises - I am comforted with the thought that we are expected to move forward.
Beautiful Things The most beautiful things in life, Can come out of the strangest places. They aren’t always the most obvious things, That’s why people need to look for them. Beautiful things, Like the compassion in one person’s heart, Or a smile you give a lonely man. Can make the biggest difference in this world. People take these beautiful things for granted, Expecting life to treat them kindly, Without giving any kindness in return. The most beautiful thing for me in this world, Is knowing that people love me, unconditionally. So next time you feel down, Think of all the love we share, And maybe, Life won’t seem that bad anymore. Rachel Brewer
