Another mistake again...

I was sent to work today, while he go for his favourite pasttime, and I reckon he wouldn't forget to bring all the necessary items.

I got the address, the stuff ready (prepared by him). When I reach the area, I can't find the building, so I call him, instead he ask me call the customer. (i thought he already came down to meet the customer already?)

Anyway, call up the customer, I realise the address written by him is wrong, and worst! The stuff he prepared is wrong!

It is wrong size entirely. Wassup with him? As the owner, I believe you should at least put in that minimium of effort to ensure time and sweat is not wasted. And nowaday, petrol is so expensive.

I called him up, instead of admitting it is his mistake, he blame it on the customer who told him the wrong address and wrong size, I don't understand why?

Sorry for all this ranting, thing just not getting right...

any sense of urgency?

It seem to me like I'm a magician, i can perform magic and settle all problems.

But without team-work, it is always the case, "NO GO".

To work with someone without any sensitivity to their staff morale and needs, it is really tough.

this weekend, it gonna be another "holiday" for him and work for me? When this work is not my primary jobscope?? it seems to me that he would rather enjoy when there is job to be done??

Tough times...

After 3 months of planning and hardwork, it seem like results does not really comes as easy or fast enough. With the limited income now, I wonder how much longer I can "tahan" before I throw in the white cloth.

And now, I'm starting to do some manual work which I suppose was not under my jobscope, I thought a manual labourer would be cheaper to engage to help with those work? For once, while we were working hard for the entire day doing the manual work, the boss went sleeping and actually snore so loud while I was sweating away, covered with dust all over me.

For this week, it is even better program for me! Da boss go on another "holiday" trip for the next few days till weekend, leaving me alone to do all the manual jobs. No choice, I guess I'm just another employee? Boss can enjoy all he want while you sweat away, hmmm...

When ask about the future plan, it was just discuss lightly on the surface and just brush pass it, it seems to me like he isn't really bother with the "so-call" plan which could benefit me but only now, benefit him only??

Finally, a medal for Singapore

Table Tennis-Singapore set for rare medal

BEIJING, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Singapore was guaranteed their first Olympic medal since 1960—and only their second of all time—by beating South Korea on Friday to advance to the women’s team championship in table tennis.

A weightlifting silver in 1960 in Rome has stood as the city-state’s only Olympic medal.
Singapore’s women will face the winner of a semi-final between China and Hong Kong. If they lose the championship match on Sunday, they would still take home the silver.

Somewhat dulling the achievement for the country of 4.6 million, the players and coach that carried Singapore to victory were all imports from table tennis powerhouse China.

“I feel very honoured. I’ve been in Singapore for just over two years and can help it get an Olympic medal, at least a silver, for the first time in 48 years,” coach Liu Guodong said.
Fired up by a vocal pro-Singapore crowd, world number nine Feng Tianwei was the key player, launching the contest with a rapid-fire win in the first match and closing it with a classy and controlled victory in the tense final match.

Singapore beat the previously undefeated South Korea three matches to two in the best-of-five contest.

Fans were treated to perhaps the finest table tennis of the Olympics yet in a match between Beijing-born Li Jia Wei, Singapore’s top player at world number six, and Kim Kyung-ah, South Korea’s best at 11th.

CONTRASTING STYLES
The contrasting styles of Li’s aggressive topspin and Kim’s defensive chops proved the perfect blend for rallies that regularly topped 20 hits.

Li, who has been frazzled by nerves on big occasions before, showed impatience toward the end, rushing her forehand. Kim fell to her knees after sealing the win, 5-11 11-8 9-11 11-6 and 11-9.
But Li rebounded in the doubles match, pairing up with world number seven Wang Yue Gu to swat aside their Korean opponents.

Wang dropped the next match in straight games to Korea’s Dang Ye-seo, bringing Singapore’s unflappable Feng back to the table for the deciding match. Despite the acrobatics of Korea’s Park Mi-young, Feng prevailed 11-7 12-10 3-11 and 11-9, winning when the Korean committed a rare error, faulting on her serve.

“In a battle like that, everyone is nervous. So if you can just keep it cool, you’ve got an advantage,” Feng said
