My annual leave entitlement

因 为 要 在 六 月 的 学 校 假 期 带 孩 子 们 去 马 来 西 亚 的 云 顶 高 原, 所 以 我 便 在 两 个 星 期 前 呈 交 了 我 的 休 假 通 知 单. 我 的 新 老 板 却 不 敢 批!

I verbally asked him twice and he just do not want to approve my leave application. The third time, I decided to write an official e-mail to him, explaining the reason of taking leave – my family and me are going to Malaysia for a short holiday. This is the only week my children are available for holiday. I copy my e-mail to my former boss, who is now the head of our consumer unit and my boss’s boss. According to my former boss, he spoke to my new boss and told him to approve my annual leave. He even suggested to him to discuss with me and not through e-mailing here and there which is no good for communication within the same department. BUT, my new boss just approved my leave quietly without even spoke to me anything concerning this matter. This is the blockage of the communication!
Another matter, my new boss told me that our VP said no one is allowed to take leave after Labour Day and continue for long weekend. So he could not approve my leave application for 02/05/2008. Because Labour Day (01/05/08) falls on Thursday, if employee takes a day off on Friday, they could enjoy long weekend. This is without HR confirmation. I checked this matter with our HR manager and was told that the management passed no such rule and the HR manager has also spoken to my new boss. Guest what he told her ??? ‘He has approved my leave’ HAHAHA! Gods knows.
The problem is if my boss got the wrong information, he should at least clarify with his staff but he chooses not to. This is another blockage of the communication. How are we, his subordinate going to trust him in future ?

For this his long weekend, my boss will be going to visit clients in KL (his family is there). What a perfect arrangement! LOL

Remembrance

Dear my beloved hubby

I dream of you again last night, and I want to tell you :

WE HAVE NOT TURNED WEAKER BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT AROUND WITH US
WE HAVE BECOME STRONGER BECAUSE OF YOU

我 们 不 会 因 为 你 的 离 去 而 变 得 软 弱

我 们 会 因 为 你 不 在 而 变 得 更 坚 强

Hearing Test Clear

Yesterday I went to TTSH for my 2nd review on the ear's hearing test. The doctor gave me a clean report and assured me that that the 'spinning' that I felt is not a problem. But if I still feel the spinning and it becomes severe, then I could go back to check, otherwise, NO review is needed!

It is the particles in the inner ears that sometimes could not receive the signals fats enough. So it may have a minute of delay and caused the 'spinning' effect.

Occassionally, if I turned suddenly or I felt excited, I felt my surrounding - the wall, the furniture all 'spinning'. But it only occurred for a minute, and I always tried to cool down, close my eyes and the 'spin' will go off.
