new projects ....

Bahija tried to source for more contracts / projects ..... one of them tendered, should know the result very soon. Tomorrow 2:30pm , Bahija will be meeting a new customer and business partners, I have to do a sales pitch to convince customer and partners why they should hire me. Luckily dah 'rejuvenated' a bit with some retail therapy treatment in Singapore last weekend, had a short getaway to the Sin-island, buang some duit, got some motivation to work harder now .... Hopefully I could do well in my presentation tomorrow, able to secure a short term contract on my table. gementar a bit juga , hope the customer and partners appreciate my little expertise here ...wish me luck !!!

Happier taxpayers ....

Thesesdays , a lot of my friends will come to me, told me 'Bahija, I'm happy that I received a letter and cheque from tax refund' , I'm happy for all of my friends. I see some good improvement in the tax system too..... this week, I'm doing health check on their system, my data showed that all the tax refund tables have increased in sizes, some even increased by > 110% - mean double growth leh. From system point of view , I would like to think that the application is coding well, capturing the right data in the right way, so that this growth is a positive growth which reflect same direction as the business growth, in this case, more tax refunds data because more people is getting the refunds. Bahija must closely monitor these 'huge' objects, ensuring they have ample room to grow yea :) .... my team mates have done great work , to tune the system, to tune the problematic issues - thesedays the CPU is good, can execute more tax transactions , hopefully can make more taxpayers happier ...

Those of you who think you may have tax refunds , but haven't receive any notification .... you may call or pay a personal visit , may be that can speed up your refund :)

April 14

April 14 - guess it's not an 'ong' day for me ...the numbers itself if read in cantonese meant 'mati sure mati'. Today I suggested to customer to make some changes in the production database - thinking to speed up the process, so that more things can be done within the batch window. That was in a way a 'stupid' suggestion , I ended up fixing the issues this whole night, plus I also rocked the customer batch windows... April is not the month to screw up with my customer database, as this month is super busy for the whole malaysian taxpayers :( ...

when I reached home , I was walking to the kitchen in the dark , 'blirk' - switched on lights, gosh - first time in my life , I terpijak the thing that I hate most or rather fear most - I terpijak a coakroach lah , aiyuhhhhhhhhh.....

what a bad day for me ....

EQ

For the past few weeks, working closely with my customers on evaluating a third party product. The tool is a good and super expensive tool, installed for many many many mths, no action taken...now that the license is going to expire .....customer asked me to help and feedback. So I tested, and discovered a long list of tasks , questions, messages, issues for the support folk. During this period also, I find that my EQ level is low ... tends to 'mang chang' fast .... hmm, got to go to cave, hibernate and meditate a bit ....must jaga EQ and image sikit :)

The reason I so mang chang is - I expect people to work at a faster speed and deliver better testing reports ... when others are not at the same page as me , I some how tak sabar ......hmmm. I'll have to slow down , let go and sabar a bit :)
