Gong Xi Fa Chai

I would like to wish all my Chinese friends and blog visitor a Happy Chinese New Year and Gong Xi Fa Chai. May the coming year bring you all much luck, fortune and prosperity in yours and your loved one’s lives.

As per standard operating procedure around this time of the year, I would be on standby duty again so that my Chinese colleagues could go on their New Years break in peace. Of course this means that I would need to stay within KL city limits and be able to respond to calls when they come in. Hopefully this year would be the same as pervious years when no calls come in especially instead of just responsible for my own team as I was in pervious years, I have to be responsible for our whole operations in KL for our support account this standby period. This will be big shoes to fill but if I do well then it would surely reflect well when my performance review period comes up in April.

At first I was thinking that I may be spending the holidays at my parents place in Selayang but I guess now I’m keeping that plan open at the moment. I still owe my apartment a sprucing up after months (closed to years for some corners) of neglect. My curtains for example needs to be burned by now! (They’re that bad). I’m thinking of going out idea-shopping at IKEA with my mum tomorrow since I’m also in the market for a new bed to replace the one I currently use.

Any who, do have a great time with the family if you’re attending the reunion dinner with them tonight and have a great celebration with them. For the rest of us who get the 4 day weekend, do enjoy yourselves. Stay safe everyone and make sure if you plan to party, you plan to party responsibly. Don’t be another statistic in the yearly on the road butcher’s bill.
