Stress?

Past two weeks has been quite stressful for me. My maid still have not arrive yet. Which mean I need to take leave to babysit my daughter. The most tiring is when I need to take care of my daughter in the morning and then continue to work on my night shift. Mind you my shift is for 12 hours.

My wife? She's in government service. With all the bureaucracy, it's pretty hard for her to take leave. Hopefully the maid will and know how to do a good job. If not, more stress.

Talking about government service, I've been dealing with two government agencies these past two-weeks. Below is my feedback:

KWSP Taman Shamelin Perkasa:

1. I went there to withdraw my EPF Account 2. The first time I went there, I've got all the documents needed except that I need to photocopy my Sales and Purchase agreement (SPA) and the bank loan letter offer (LO). So I'm unable to withdraw.

2. I went back to EPF. This time with the copy of the SPA and LO. I've got all the documents needed except the original copy of the SPA and the LO. Arghhhhhh! So, I'm unable to withdraw.


3. So, I need to go there again (not yet).

4. The EPF customer representative at the counter was fast and courteous. Besides, it was also due to some negligence from my part. So, I've got no big problem with EPF.


Immigration Department:

This is to get the Temporary Employment Visiting Pass for my maid. My feedback:

1. First, I went to Immigration Department in Damansara. Conclusion = it SUCK BIG TIME and a TOTAL SHIT. Do not go there unless you want to waste your time with a REALLY LOUSY SERVICE.

2. You will have difficulty to find parking space and need to brave a terrible traffic jam. Actually, I've no problem with the parking and the traffic as the Immigration Dept have no control on it but they do have control on their employees. Let me emphasize, Foreign Worker Division Malaysian Immigration Department have a LOUSY SERVICE, SUCK BIG TIME and a TOTAL SHIT.

3. I don't want/need to elaborate which part of the service is lousy as they SUCK BIG TIME and a TOTAL SHIT! I just don't want/need to waste my time on them anymore.

4. FRUSTATED with Immigration Department in Damansara, I decided that they're a hopeless bunch of people. Yes if any of you read this, you are HOPELESS. I went to Immigration Department in Putrajaya instead.

5. Conclusion, Immigration Department in Putrajaya = EXCELLENT.


Writing about the Immigration Department triggered my stress back. I better do something else.

New Year's resolution

It sounds so cliche. Whenever new year is coming (in this case, it has already came), you will hear a lot on New Year's resolution. Well, I beg to differ. At least for me, this is my first time making a new year's resolution.

In my company where I'm working, come new year, we'll set a new bunch of objectives to meet for the rest of the year and we'll then review it every quarter throughout the year. In this case, for my personal objectives, I will only review it at the end of the year.

Objectives:

1. Obtain at least one professional cert. My target is CCNP. I need to pass four exam papers to be able to obtain it. Looks like I need to pass at least one paper quaterly.

2. Invest in another property. This will be a bit hard since I will also employ a maid which mean higher monthly expenses. But we will see if this is achievable during my performance review at the end of the year.

3. Memorize Surah As-Sajdah from the Holy Qur'an together with its meaning. I hope that in the midst of the strive to achieve better quality of life in this world, I will not forget why I'm here in the first place.

That's all the objectives that I've set for 2010. We'll review it in December 2010 or January 2011. Till then. Ciao.
