Selling and Buying

As a conclusion from our brainstorming yesterday, cp and i both agree that it's either ipad or netbook. Of course i will go for netbook, looking from the price vs capacity and usability. And of course i also wish cp gets her ipad since it's more useful to her (kids) later when back from the trip. So, let's see what will we get in next 2 months later.

Secondly, GF1. I have spread the news for selling it but somehow, I am getting the same model with the different of lens. Yes i want pancake now, no more kit lens please. Just the lens itself is crazy expensive, about 70% of the price for buying total set with 1 body and 1 pancake lens. That's why i rather let go the old set with high selling price, and get the new set paying with lower price for the lens.

It's complicated but after my calculation, it worth the value. Somehow, I cant GF1 in the market anymore... Shit.

Extended! Wahahaaaaa!!!

Yesterday was a fruitful day. Despite of my mistake for forgetting the passport, and also unable to pick up the dry clean due to the delay of a heavy rain. I am still happy to the extend of excited because my Japan ticket is extended 4 more days without any charges! The initial duration was only 8 days, and now it's 12 days in total!

In fact the maximum days I can extend is 7 days before, plus another 7 days after. Which in turn is 22 DAYS in total if i utilize all! Although it is still possible but judging from my current role, it is very difficult to away from office for more than 2 weeks. On another hand, I dont think i can afford the expenses for this long period of time. Although i seriously wish to.

Somehow cp told me there is another promo coming tomorrow, let's plan for next year!

Our Nation

Our nation is getting a little over these days. School trouble that involves not only within students but teacher and parent, whom eventually resulted something way extended than just discipline. And of course the slapping of girls for fighting over boys, hair cutting for warning, triad community that attacks and hired innocent boys and girls, parent over controlling the school till the government involvement etc.

These are all just within the school. What about the society? It is rather sick. The enhancement of neighbor quarreling that resulted in a group fight, also the shop owner that over marked the territory due to the super blooming business that causes brutal abuse of the neighbor shop owner. These are all nonsense happening from our community and i think it's better we keep the contact of Austin personal injury lawyer now, and who knows one day either of us will involve..?

HK Disneyland

It was rather a last minute decision. My cousins been talking about bringing their kids to vacation since years ago but was unable to make time for it. Mainly it's due to the different schedule for the kids and also parent. Due to the succeed of school transfer, this fading resumed within a snap. Of course ever since we moved nearer, we are naturally in the invite list. And there we go, a group of 12 with 6 adults and 6 kids.

Although my memory to HK geographically is rather blur or to the extend of lost, I was still the unofficial tour guide due to I have travel there the most amongst the group. And also, because i have friends there - what a reason.. After all, it was a nice trip travelling with family but my impression to both HK disneyland and HK in generally had totally dropped. Mainly because of the cina mari, secondly, I just dont feel fantasy in disney at all. I think money and materialistic had washed away my innocence.

Popo

She slipped during night bowel movement, immediately sent to nearby clinic for dripping and continued for 2 days. Condition didnt seem improve but started weaken. Few days later she was admit to GH and still, no big issue until the blood transfusion happened. Perhaps its a rejection as she never admitted, not to mentioned transfusion. This obviously a huge change to her body and nobody including the doctor will expect this to happen. She turned from weak to critical and transferred to Concentrated Care Unit with the declaration of critical 48 hours.

All my family members flying back from outstation, and I even met those who missed or lost in almost 5 years. Our heart fallen and our sky turned dark at that moment. Thankfully and gratefully, her situation improved after a good rest in CCU. Situation began to better and few days later, she was able to talk as usual but just that, unable to walk freely as before.

Somehow she was discharged. This is the most ever good news we had, but her condition still dont seem good. Worries still there. My main wish now is none other than her and everyone in perfect condition.

Change Management

I may not be the perfect person to write this post but i am definitely not the least favorite because basically my work (or to be exact my rice bowl) is around this topic - ITIL. I am ITIL v3 foundation certified and been involved in this field ever since i first started my career.

In ITIL there are 3 major module - Incident, Problem and Change. As it names, incident is to be an impact on service or a failure of a CI that might impact service (copied from google). Well to give a layman term, basically it means you got a problem with your system, log a ticket to helpdesk, they attend you. The ticket is the incident. Problem in my definition means RCA - root cause analysis. So to speak, means analyse the root cause. Change? To make it simple, just think of adding an emotion icon to your webpage. It sounds easy to us but in corporate world, you need a series of approval in order to get it done. With that also means you need a Change management software to ensure the progress and approvals are being tracked.

A good CMS can allow the analyst to fill in the time/plan/rollback/outage etc. Wanna know more? Ask me. hehe...
