A different kind of Eid

This year would be a different Aidilfitri altogether.

I would be in Australia for basically a Computer Science in Sport Symposium during the Aidilfitri holidays.  Will be flying off to Sydney and then onto Canberra on the first day of Aidilfitri itself so it leave me with a limited time to actually celebrate Eid.

On one hand, it would be different (read: difficult) to be away during the celebration but on the other hand, I relish the opportunity to pick on the brains of experts in computer/sports/mathematics/medical field.

So, I am taking this opportunity to wish all my dear family and friends, SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI, MAAF ZAHIR BATIN :)

How do Computer Science in Sports works? That would be another story altogether, huhuhu…

The black coffee and the hot, round bun

  In the course of my work, at times, I need to travel. I have been to all states on work related travel and this month I was summoned to the northern and southern region. I finally got the chance to travel to Kluang for an event, and it presents me with an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone; work and personal as I planned to meet up with an old friend, who are working there now.

I rendezvous with the rest of the team on the second day (actually its the night of the second day) as I am running a favor for a friend in the capital beforehand. Traveling on a weekday, has it perks, you could choose the best seat in the bus (we only have 11 people on board). I was not feeling sleepy, so I stayed online along the highway.

The 3.5hrs trip was uneventful, and I reached Kluang as the rest of the team finishes their dinner. We stayed at Nagaria Inn which is near to work site. On the way back, Baom briefed me on tomorrow's breakfast plan as apparently the hotel breakfast fare is a bit plain. I'm all for the team plan (but still planned to eat the 'so-called plain' fare).

Way past midnight we are joined by Samba, who are tied with arranging some last minute travel plan to Europe earlier in the day. Can't really sleep that night, which prompted me to work on some other things. Dozed off and woken up for my hotel breakfast - which REALLY is plain. But I am not one to waste food, so, I ate a little bit of everything.

The plan was to eat at the 'original' Kluang Rail Coffee' situated at  where else, Kluang Railway Station. It still retains its old school charm, heck, it looks old-school. Took the customary pictures, and ordered the famous 'kopi' and 'bun bakar' (coffee and toasted buns). The coffee leaves a bitter taste, while strangely complemented by the milk. The buns? What can I say, toasted with 'kaya', with a dollop of butter in between. Result? A winning combination.

I tried to squeeze in a meeting with my an old friend, but the short duration of this visit suggests that its not possible. Maybe next time eh? But at least, I can say this about the Kluang Rail Coffee. Been there, done that.

Show me the money...

I received the approved budget for this year a few days back. Finally, I say. But then again, the figures does not 'figures' gently in my plan. In short, my budget was reduced by more than 60% than what I actually applied two years back (in my organization, we applied for 2008 budget in 2006)

The things that got reduced a lot are on equipments and maintenance. In total, my equipment budget is cut by more than 600K and my maintenance budget cut by 120K. In the business where we rely on cutting edge technologies, a cut of 75% on equipments could stifle our development. And where equipments are concerned, a reduction in maintenance budget could put a stop to operations should some things broke down.

But, no use worrying about that, at least I am given some amount of budget to play with. After all, the current economic situation needs us to be more than careful with our spending. So now, it seems that my team will need to be more prudent in spending and reschedule some purchases. Or, what else, some creative accounting is in order. Work still have to go on, right?

Bila nak start kayuh basikal balik ni...

Nothing comes for free, young man...

I was informed that some people from an institution on the east coast will be visiting my humble outfit (office), and as the visit was rather informal I was not too worried as I could just give them some information on my operations off the cuff. As they were running late, I was already changed into my test gear, when they finally came about.

I welcomed all of them, and as I was only given 3 minutes to explain (in general) my operations, things go on quite fast. I was sharing information with them how my outfit could assist them, when THE question came.

'You would be assisting us for free then?', came the question from a young chap. I looked towards him and retorted, 'If you asked me, nothing is for free in this world. The things that you got for free wont be appreciated much, so everything has a price' I explained making a point. 'Other similar institution who are extended our expertise, are being charged a nominal fee, so I don't see any difference in your case'.

'My views on that does not necessarily reflect my boss's view but everything is negotiable' I ended the conversation and thanked them, as I need to continue with the planned test. If my stand seems impolite or brusque, so be it, but I need to put forth what my stand are. 

Nothing comes for free in this world.

Resolute about the resolution...

I know its a bit late, but in keeping with the spirit of New Year, its only natural for me to write down some new year resolutions (things to do better than last year perhaps?). I am not going to bore you with the usual so I will only put in my 2009 sports resolution. So here goes...

1. Cycle and row as much as possible in 2009 (basically kena work out la ye tak?)
2. Ride these climbs (in no particular order). Perez. Sempah. Broga. Kelawang. Fraser. Cameron?
3. Do at least a century ride (100 miles or 160 kilometers)
4. Starts running again (in preparation for No.5)
5. Do Powerman 2009 and hopefully finish within the stipulated time (nak try gak dapat medal)
6. Pick up swimming (in preparation for triathlon, hehe)
7. Do a cycling tour (maybe a few days ride with friends, kan guys?)
8. Influence as many friends possible to pick up cycling (Circle of Influence kan Bro Zizan?)

As at mid January 2009, the farthest I have cycled in a day is 100km (read here) and I have already done Perez, so I hope I am well in time to achieve those resolution before 31st Dec 2009. See you on the road in 2009...

And around we go...

There will not be any on-water session for the sailors today so I took the opportunity to cycle a longer distance. The past three days, it has been a mixed ride with two trips towards the airport and one, on Saturday, going around town. And I felt like taking a ride around the island.

I started a bit late, filling up with fuel before the ride. After all, I am expecting easily a 60 to 70km ride, if I got it right. Slowly warming up to the ride, when at the 5km mark, I heard an unmistakable sound of chains gliding over a drivetrain. "Nak ride pi mana?", came the question, from a triathlete (I guess) on an aerobar equipped bike.

I answered, "Tak tau lagi" as he passes me over. He is riding faster than me, but I felt that his moving his body too much. The first incline looms and suddenly he seems slowing down on it. I am inching slowly forward and suddenly I am by his side at the top of the hill. He must be surprised that I managed to catch him that he continues to speeding downhill.

The athlete in me wants to chase him down, but the more sensible side of me continues with my warm-up. Slowly increasing speed and I am feeling good, not forgetting to drink at specified interval crusing along Jalan Padang Matsirat. At the airport took the route towards Teluk Nibong. Inclined switchbacks were the staple of the route. I just love these kind of route.

After a good few kilometers of switchbacks I saw the most beautiful petrol station, just by the marina at Telaga Harbour. Stopped for a while and takes in the view. The cable car platform atop Mount Machincang can be seen in the distance. Next stop? But of course towards the cable car station.

Took the route to Mutiara, along the treetop lined road towards Oriental Geopark where the cable car station is. Stops to snap a few photos and were tempted to continue towards the Seven Wells, but not knowing where I will be heading, turn back and take the route along Jalan Teluk Ewa.

I think I should have gone towards Pantai Cenang (and check out the many hotels there), but took the inland route up north. The Teluk Ewa route was deserted except for the occasional car. It goes through a few villages, where rubber plantation is visible along the way.

Riding along I was tempted to go to Datai, and maybe visited the waterfalls but decided to trudge along towards Pantai Pasir Hitam. I saw a sign for Ibrahim Hussein Gallery, but I must have missed it earlier. Its a cool route, with the occasional village kids trying to race me on their bicycle. Hehehe...

After the LaFarge cement plant, I reached Pasir Hitam. the scenery is beautiful. I stopped at the public park there and took a few pictures. Then it happens. !@#$%!!! I dropped Sonny. I was trying to balance him on a ledge, but unfortunately its unbalanced, dropped and hit the lens on the wall. I could not retract Sonny's lens, it's jammed.

Tried to make it work again to no avail. Too bad, but still needs to continue. Hati panas je. Ride through the hot springs, along the way spotted a few nice views, but what to do, no cameras. The Wildlife Park and Galleria Perdana beckons but with no photo ops, decided not to stop. If Sonny was OK, definitely I would stop at every attraction. Sigh.

Approaching Kuah town after more than 2 hours riding (slowly, hehe) I planned to check out the banks so that I could do my banking obligation before its due :)  Cycling around Kuah, I spotted a few of my banks and proceeded to ride back when it struck. I broke a spoke on my rear wheel. Cheh, patah pulak but thankful that it broke nearing the finish.

Scotty limped through and after 2:45 on the bike, I reached base. Not too bad, for a 66km leisure ride. Hmm, now, would need to find out where can I repair my bike... Maybe, I'll ask Shahril then

And while we plan, God decides...

I am really disappointed. I was looking forward to this event, but it seems that I would need to take a rain check. I even invited CH (to return for the second time), Big (his first long ride) and Lei (kasi bakar sikit after all this years of not riding together) for this month major social ride.

A fortnight ago I was informed that I have to go to Langkawi. No problem. The proposed trip will be over 2 weeks which means I will be celebrating Eid Adha on the island. No problem. Only coming back to KL on the 12th. No problem. Travel to Langkawi on the 29th. No problem. As long as I go ride the November Ride the night before.

Then, a sudden change in plan. It was confirmed that I need to travel to Langkawi on 27th November. Tomorrow. One day before the November Ride. Babes in Bikeland? Aiyoh!!!

Bummer. I am definitely bringing Scotty to Langkawi with me.

And when you think that everything is dandy in the office...

A few days back I received an internal memo that informs me that I am to attend a contract extension/termination meeting with Admin and HR today. I was slotted in to come at 430pm. Hmm, I guess this is where HR will discuss with me on my colleagues contract whether it will be continued or, unfortunately terminated.

It should be a fairly straightforward affair as staffs evaluation forms has been completed and submitted a month back. And the time alloted, just 30mins, would mean that most probably its just to confirm rather than a full HR interview. Maybe, just maybe I could raise to them on my proposal to extend the contract of one of my staffs to two years rather than one. For the others, its the normal one year extension.

At 430pm as scheduled, I went into the meeting room and meet a committee of... three. Ceh. Only the Admin Director and two representative from HR. I was given a sheet on which it was written the condition that justifies a two year contract extension. And another form that summarises the staffs evaluation marks. The date they starts work etc. Nothing out of the ordinary there. Hey, what is that? One column caught my eye.

Number of days late to work from Jan-Sep 2008. And next to my name is the number..40. WHAT! That means I am late to work 40 times in the past nine month.

I am no angel, but I do think I do not came late that often. I need to recheck the attendance printout. Ceh! What else to do? I can only offer this with a straight face..

"Puan, maaf diatas apa yang berlaku. Saya akan berusaha untuk memperbaiki perkara ini, bukan hanya untuk diri saya malah akan juga memperingatkan rakan-rakan sekerja saya mengenainya..."

I really, really need to check those attendance sheet...

Latvija Pekina

On Thursday I was honored to be in the company of Mr Aldons Vrublevskis, the President of the Latvian Olympic Comittee. Some sort of the Latvian Tunku Imran. We first communicated a two weeks back thru email when he expressed his interest to visit our small organization as he would be in town for a convention.

My first encounter with anything Latvian came in the form of the lovely Ms Veronika Fedotova who visited us early this year. She shared some information regarding her work which do not differ much from what we do. And Mr V's visit is to continue where she left off, specifically to get more information and exchange ideas in sports biomechanics, sports medicine and sports nutrition.

With most of the bosses are away for the WEC, RoboMorf is kind enough to accompany Mr V on his short tour of the organization. We had good discussion all around and shared many of the similarities in our work. He shared his views on sports science, which he says is the key to sporting excellence. We could not agree enough.

Before he left, he presented us with a book, entitled Latvija Pekina which chronicles the 47 athletes who takes part in the Beijing Summer Olympics. Exclusive behind the scenes pictures. Latvia came back with a gold, a silver and a bronze where fittingly the BMX Olympic gold medallist, Maris Stromberg, is featured on the cover page. 

Maybe, we could do a similar coffee table pictorials for our Olympians. Maybe Datuk LCW could feature on the cover?

And the clock goes, tick, tock, tick, tock...

I do not really understand the need to have long meetings. Unfortunately, in the course of my work, meetings seems to form the staple of "things to do". I would like to think of myself as an aspiring scientific guy (the word scientist seems too distant) with some administrative function to boot - they trust me enough to let me run my own department, hmm.

To be given that kind of additional administrative responsibility is not the actual problem really, other than when...

1. I need to attend a meeting (administrative/finance/operations/etc in nature), that unfortunately...
2. starts later than the start time stated on the memo, which means...
3. the meeting will end later than expected, when sudedenly...
4. some wise guys JUST HAVE TO parrot and repeat what has been said earlier, or..
5. suddenly went off tangent and starts to regal us with some oft listened grandmother/'when I was younger..." stories, that...
6. will definitely lengthen the agony of listening to all these which...
7. has no connections whatsoever to what is REALLY being discussed in the meetings minutes of this..
8. sometimes ad-hoc meetings which could be done in a shorter time in the first place!

I have had some meetings that spans a whole day (that is not a workshop, mind you, just a normal monthly meeting), meeting held over two weeks (4.5hrs each part) with the average meeting last 4+ hours. Maybe for some people this is normal, but I do think the longer the meeting are, the harder it would be to keep ALL quorum to be genuinely interested in the meeting. Btw, I DO have a short attention span, hehehe. 

I do think meetings is where information are disseminated, tasks are divided among quorum, objective decided, deadlines reminded and updates reported. My own department weekly meeting tops out at 1hrs max, most of the times 30-45 minutes each. Keep It Short and Simple. So, whats your kind of meeting?

Third Year Itch

I have something to confess. At every third year, I would have some kind of itch. Not the scratchy kind but its no less disruptive. I became restless and at times, work will take a back seat. I crave new challenges. I need a change.

When I was working in a financial institution years back, the first three years was very challenging. then once The Project finishes, I seek newer challenges which I fortunately found in sports. I participated in national level championship, and went to the gym almost everyday. I find solace in the physical activities. 

That is how I survive another three years in the bank. At the end of that three year, I feel the need to find something new, which prompts me to continue my studies in economics at a university when the opportunity arise.

Fast forward to the present time. It has been three years since I joined this organization. It has been a very challenging environment, but somehow I feel that something is missing lately. Maybe I need some new challenges. Or just a break from my routine. Maybe I need to DO just that.

Snippets from Key-are-ra

Snippets from Kiara

AIM - To reinforce and expand expertise by aiming for 50% staff member to have post graduate qualification by 2012.

-There is two way to do this, either by increasing opportunity to further study OR fire everybody till we get the proposed percentage. Unfortunately, the second choice is the easier of the two to do, and require less money...

Quote. "We need to get the spine right, straightened up to get things moving..."

-Has it ever occur that maybe the spine has scoliosis? Who knows...hehehe :)

In one of the sessions, the participants are asked to wish unconditionally to the person sitting next to them.

-To wish unconditionally to others in retrospect is actually an exercise of wishing the same for ourself, as a form of positive reinforcement

Later, the participants are asked to tell the person sitting in front of them of at least three good things about that person (and will be told the same in return), and for the next person, and the next in succession

-It allows us to evaluate what and how we actually project ourself to others, while looking at ourself from other people's point of view. We would definitely know whether we have been successful in putting up a good facade/mask all this while.

Some courtesy needed please...

I am expecting a new staff to report to work a few days back, unfortunately I got an early morning text message that conveyed this message

"Greetings Mr Bon. I am John Doe and I'm supposed to report to your organization today. I regret to inform that i would not be able to join due to some other matter"

WTF! You already indicated acceptance of the offer we sent out, and on the very day you're supposed to report, send me a text message? And I'm to be cool about that. Actually, I am cool about that person not coming in to work (as that is his prerogative), what is lacking is the manner of how things are done.

For something this important ie declining a work offer etc, at least have the courtesy of :

1. Do not assume that text message will suffice, a call would be a better option
2. Other than calling me as the HOD, DO NOT forget to call Human Resource to inform (and DO NOT expect me to do it on your behalf)
3. Follow-up the calls with an official letter thanking the organization for the opportunity and explain the reason why you have to decline it (bluff if you have to)
4. On the phone, sound (terribly) upset on having to decline the offer and not giggling around while breaking the news. I am NOT your friend
5. If you know beforehand that you had problems reporting in on a specific date, call and discuss on the alternative dates if you are really serious on joining the organization. And not on the date itself, it shows poor planning.

I called John Doe and give him a piece of my mind. I am not at all slighted by what he did, but the manner that it is done, annoys me. If he cant join my department, I am sure its due to some valid reasons. Just remember to do the necessary things, properly.

As we step forward...

After waiting for almost a year, we finally welcome the newest addition to The Centre. Over the years, we lost four experienced staff, with the latest casualty, in late April after an unsuccessful negotiation.

While turnover of staffs are nothing new in any organization, the 'lost of expertise' by the departure of highly experienced staffs are something The Center could do without. In all, between them, they have almost 25 years of experience.

In meeting the new staffs, they are encouraged to speak up, not be afraid to ask questions and share their thoughts. While the current education system do not seem conducive to proactive learning, I do think some of our youngsters just need a push in the right direction.

Hopefully we can instill in the new staffs a culture of high performance, whether in service, research (which I need to be more involved in rather than administration) and learning (from our expert colleagues) while they are here, while pursuing this field as a career and not just as a job.

To the new addition to The Center, WELCOME ABOARD!

XII National Games

We have the tendency to build good sports facility, especially for international, regional or national sporting events, The National Games are held once every two years, and this year its in their 12th edition, at the new City of KT.

I was part of The Office team to go there, not on scientific capacity, more as an observer. The limited number of rooms available, means that we are lucky enough to have a bungalow to call our base. I was only there for two days, due to some urgent matters at home, but it was good visit.

The Main sports complex was huge, easily 7-8 stories high at its highest point, more or less modeled after the S.Alam stadium complex, with a nearby indoor stadium for gymnastics among other. The main stadium has a 48 lanes bowling alley and squash courts in its 'belly' to make it a multi sports complex.

Anyway, while I was there, the contractors are busy putting the finishing touch on the running lanes, jumps area and also electronics. It seems like a rushed job, and heard that it still hasn't certified by the world body and no test event has been run there prior to the Games. Quite surprising, but then again the organisers do plan a dry run a day before the competition due to start.

Anyway, two of the thing that came to mind are, the massive maintenance work needed for the sports complex and whether the sports complex (and its facilities) will be fully utilised after the Games. That, we'll just have to wait and see :)

Blinded?

Sometimes, it amazes me that a solution to a problem is so obvious, that we tend to overlook it.

Among the numerous meetings that i need to attend, is the management meeting. We met once a month, where top dogs meet us (supposedly middle dogs) to either share or seek information, delegate jobs or to discuss on pressing management matters. Due to the nature of the matters discussed, it not uncommon for the meeting to take more that a few hours.

In one of these meeting a couple of months back, our accountant updates the quorum that we are having difficulty to convince a few director's from a sister agency to agree to our suggestion with regards to financial matters, which we propose that we handle rather than them (due to our expertise and contacts on the matter). Our accountant were advised by their accountant to seek approval from individual 'reluctant' directors to expedite things.

Some of our director shares info that the CEO of that agency had agreed in principle (in another meeting) that we handles the accounts, but apparently the information has not got down to his directors. Our CEO asks the accountant, on the next course of action, which stumped him. 

He professed of not knowing how to further pursue the matter. Some of our directors chipped in and gives either well meaning suggestion or just pouring fire into the already tense situation. Pity that guy :)

I found it funny when the solution is so obvious. I raised my hand and suggested that our CEO wrote to the other CEO, explaining our stand and seek his agreement to the proposal (which he already agreed in principle). Get approval in writing, and make it a top-bottom directive from their CEO to the 'reluctant' agency directors.

Now, we're getting somewhere.

If you don't attend

If you're absent from a meeting, chances are some people will make a decision for you.

Most of the time, I will make an effort to attend all of the meeting that I need to attend either in my management, research, professional or my personal capacity.

It seems that this morning I need to attend a meeting with regards to a forthcoming international conference in April. The institute has been invited to talk about how we apply our specific know-how into the preparation of elite athletes. The meeting was supposed to discuss on the content of the keynote address, as we need to project that our work is basically integrated in nature.

Unfortunately for me, I was stuck with the Admin Director as I was passing over some documents to the Admin office. She chanced upon me, and invited me for a chat. Our chat revolves around day to day operations, to the expat staffs and overall views on the future of the institute. And I totally forgot about the former meeting.

Once I got back to office, Barry came over to my room, smiling, and commented that I should have been present in the meeting. Querying him on the reason, he answered that my name has been suggested to be the person to deliver the keynote address on our approach to elite athletes. Ouch! The meeting was of the opinion that a local might be the best candidate to deliver it, rather than an expat consultant. So its going to be me, and Leesa.

Bab also came and spoke to me about it. Prof R whom I meet later also said that he feels that me and Leesa would be the best person, to pull it together. I thank them for the opportunity and trust, and I hope I could do justice to the task given. After all, its all in a days work :)

A note to myself. Need to attend all those kind of meetings.

An alternative to work?

It seems that my life has been taken over by meetings.

On Monday, I was invited to my organization's 'Think Tank' meeting, which I'm attending for the first time. From what I know its a weekly affair, and the previous one took 3 hours, ending at 6pm. So for this week, it is started at 2pm so hopefully it could be wrapped up earlier. Unfortunately for me, it still ended up at 6pm. A four hour meeting? Sheesh!

One of my earlier management meetings have to be broken up over two days, on different weeks, each part taking almost 4 hours each. The same meeting  last month stretches from 930am til 215pm, complete with breakfast and even lunch. Its as if they had foresee that the meeting would be really, really long.

In contrast to my own departmental meeting, usually it took 1 hour max. So I can't really see the need for this long winded, weekly, fortnightly or monthly meeting. I do subscribe to the view that we should keep it short and simple. Decisions do need to be made, information needs to be disseminated but meetings doesn't have to be too long.

No wonder, people took meetings as the accepted alternative to work. I would rather be doing something else though :)

The measure of performance

How do you measure performance? In different times and situation, performance are measured using a multitude of tools. In a manufacturing or production line, the sheer number of product would make a good case of how to measure performance. In sports, either the long or short of it would measure performance, the farther you can throw or jump or the faster you finish a race would be the indicator.

Numerous tools have been introduced to that effect and every industry is not spared the thought train. Everybody want to know how to quantify performance, measure excellence etc, well you know the gist. Now, the term to use is KPI and KPT. Key Performance Target and Key Performance Indicator.

The story of KPI/KPT in my office is a long drawn one. The so called KPI/KPT bug has bitten the mother company so now everybody has to adhere. Not enough that we draw up our targets early in the year, it is now being constantly being monitored. Some company (the Provider) were roped in, some funny software were introduced and lo and behold, suddenly we need to put in our weekly task on a what else, weekly basis into the system.

Its not enough that the system proposed to us is inflexible, the developer (I do think they are more like the reseller) does not take the time to understand our business. They expected us to adapt to the system, rather than custom designing the system to our requirement. This is where I think the approach is flawed.

IMHO, a sales office works differently from a service oriented one, more so a construction company differs from a hospital. So the approach is multifaceted at best, and it should be individualised to reflect the difference in targets and indicators. We are constantly at loggerheads with The Provider, who almost certainly refused our feedback on how to make the system more user friendly in the first place. Its like talking to a brick wall. Really.

Today, I finished my 3rd departmental audit (done manually) and in an earlier meeting, the CEO of The Provider shared that a new KPI/KPT reporting system would be introduced early next year. WTF! Are our constant fighting with the system early Monday morning (to set task) and Friday evening (to update progress, achievement etc) over the past 1 year has come to naught?

Hows that for performance indicator and target? Hahaha...

Rojak week...

These past two days (and the previous week too) has been a whirlwind of sort. Endless meetings, discussions, review and appraisal, presentation, classes all vying for your attention. This week for instance, as of today, I have had 6 meetings, 4 discussions, 3 research review, 2 students appraisal, 2 classes and presentation, not to add my basketball training on Monday, canoeing on Tuesday and volleyball this afternoon... and the list will go on and on and on

But then again, I really like it to be like this, always being kept on my toes by my work. It do seems suffocating (to most people, and my colleagues) at times but I do prefer this rather than not having anything to do at all. I'm not the type who could while away their time doing nothing. If that happens, I could easily get sucked into the vast expanse of the web... hahaha. And that, my friend, that tend to happen often.

The rest of the week promises to continue on the same note. Need to process the tickets for the trip to Liepzig and Frankfurt (Jorgie has gotten a bit uneasy), approval for the two projects in May (Singapore and Ipoh), to clarify and resubmit the paperwork for the three big items rejected by Treasury last year, review the research papers sent in by the MSU Masters students and appraisal for MU and MUT intern. Good...

That reminds me, I DO need to do some paperwork for the half a million ringgit systems purchase next AND need to get it signed and submitted in time for the budget meeting tomorrow... and I need to be at Sunway early tomorrow morning.

Whats not to love about my job?
