Only my data is needed?

I received an email from my boss yesterday as I was approaching the end of my working hours
(My boss sits in KL; operating from the HQ)

His request was very simple; asking me to consolidate the data for the reporting of last quarter's results and inclusive of year-to-date and also, to forecast up to September (which is the end of the fiscal year in my company)

Surprisingly, the email was only to me and my other colleague; the one who was constantly MIA was in the CC loop along with my admin and two other managers.

Initially, I was definitely wondering, why only me?
Why do I need to be the only one to consolidate?
Why does that colleague get away everytime?

But I thought again; and I think I know why
I look at the positive side and I think it looks better

Maybe I am the only one with data, after all? Hahaha...
And maybe, it doesn't really matter whether he has data or not? =P

Furthermore, he is in CC loop and I am sure he will definitely say that he is not supposed to do anything since he is in CC loop

This is one person that thinks CC and To are always the same; because even when the email is really addressed TO him, he still ignores....
So I guess, nobody wants to waste time asking him to do anything, perhaps

Now, doesn't things look much better? :D

P.S.: I am not being mean...it IS the truth!

Taking it all in a stride

Things keep happening to me recently especially at work
Then I am worried about my poor old grandmother who is severely ill; something which the whole family is helpless about as we cannot do much to rectify the situation

At work, I am thrown into a huge cauldron of fire and I have to swim my way out by myself
(refer to my primary Angelstar Blog Haven blog for the story)

I am all alone these days; I feel so alone although I know I am not alone as besides Almighty Father and all the beautiful angels and saints around me, I still have my family and good/best friends who are all supporting me in one way or another, telling me not to give up

I cannot be with them physically but I can sense their concern and their worries about me, and I know they are all praying for my well-being

I feel touched and do not worry as I did not lose hope or the grip on myself

When times are tough, the tough gets going
It is not like some people say, "It cannot be helped"
Oh yes, things can be helped

We are in control of the situation
Things happen, so what
We can't let the effects control our minds and limbs and not do anything about it

We need to do something about it
Even if we need to be in sweat and tears
But as long as we tried our best, who is there to stand there and judge us?

Perhaps it's my faith, and my never-giving up attitude or maybe it's even my experiences so far which has certainly helped to mould my mindset and my character along the way to make me a stronger person like who I am today

Unfortunate things do happen sometimes; or for some, all the time but yet, there is always a fortune out of it
God is fair and merciful

There is always a silver lining beneath every cloud
And for me, the silver lining is to learn to be independent and to be stronger/mature and I truly appreciate the people around me even more

I thank God for all the lovely blessings besides the unfortunate luck at the moment

When we are depressed over things which happened in an untimely manner, think of those who are in even worse state than us; those who are constantly depressed over a roof over their heads, food for their stomach and the fates of their surviving family members.

When I think of all these, I pray for them and thank God for the blessings bestowed upon me

Don't you think that we have a lot to thank for?
So, I will not let myself in despair...I must stand up on my own
I must pick up
I must work it all out

In all, I must take everything in a stride and hold my head up!

Thanks for all the encouragement!~

Welcoming new little cousin!

A recent addition to my maternal family is the adorable little cousin who was born to my youngest uncle four months ago.
He is such a joyful baby; who could not stop smiling at everyone and that immediately put him on the top of the popularity list

SO CUTE! who could resist this little baby; with his tiny fingers and toes and who is still wondering why he cannot crawl yet.

He loves to bow down and put his head down to to sniff at the mattress in front of him, which just tickles everyone to laughter

It is a lovely and joyous creation of God; amazing and miraculous at the same time at how helpless a newborn is and yet we grow into thinking and sensible adults; shouldering responsibilities along the way, and yet, when we grow old, we are yet again helpless and dependent before we are sent back to God himself...

It is truly an amazing journey; and how God had drawn our pictures even before we are born

~Live your life to the fullest that when you were born, you were the only one crying and everyone around you is smiling and when you leave the world, you are the one smiling while everyone around you is crying~
I really love this quote

To baby cousin, may you grow up to be a good, smart, responsible and sensible man who will be the future pillar of the nation!
Adorable....
