Back in around Feb/March I posted a request for help to recover my blog. However I didn't get any response and so I stopped posting for months. Tonight I had the urge to try once more before I move on to another platform. I posted another request for help.
Within an hour, I've got the solution and totally recovered my blog!
As simple as removing two lines of script (simple because a kind user helped to state which lines), but for someone who doesn't know peanuts about script - I wouldn't have known what went wrong.
Thank you kind stranger! :)
You're definitely in my 5 Gratefuls for today.
I found out that my other blog Potions Junkie was lost.. disappeared to no-where-land and for a very very long time; have been trying to recover it. Of course it didn't work and I'm sad.
Lost the mood to continue blogging for a while.. though often my mind is churning out thoughts I would want to remember. It has been a hectic 7 months.. sometimes confusing, sometimes fulfilling.
I'm re-prioritizing my life goals at the moment. Taking time to work on a few projects that I've had in mind for a long time.
~and yeah, I'm considering Wordpress now! *I am sulking at you, Blogger!*
:P

Its been another long day today. C-h-a-o-t-i-c at work, really I'm praying things will return to normal soon.
Managing people opens up an entirely new perspective for me. Its no longer how good am I / how efficient am I / how well I perform my job function. Its now how well can my team members function and support the business.
How should I juggle between keeping my peeps happy, yet at the same time meeting the business needs?
Hardwork, and mindset shift. And pots of patience and an open heart.
I have an employee who is under-performing. As the lead, I am responsible to see where are the gaps, and I don't fancy honey coating my feedback. The Confused is well aware that he is under immense scrutinization by The Boss after several complaints made against him by another team.
I took him in as I believe he should be given a proper chance to learn and prove himself. But yes, indeed he is prone to make mistakes. And this cannot go on, unless he wants to be kicked out; and I know he wants this job.
How do you deliver the message that says you're not doing a good job; but without tearing him apart? Tactfulness. Yeah, easier said than done buddy.
This is the first time my peep broke down in front of me. And there and then I knew he really needs help. His confidence are shattered and he still mind about what others feedback-ed on him before. He is shouldering the burden of not letting go alone.
When you are not happy at work, you can't perform.
When you do not understand your job function, you can't perform.
When your confidence is in pieces and you cannot pick them up, you simply can't perform.
With 3 teams to focus on - I need all the sleep I can get to take on this new challenge. Welcome to the world of people managing, Foxy!
When I wake up tomorrow, I'm sure The Confused would be a better person :)
I'm so used to my usual locker, my usual treadmill, rowing machine, abs shaper, the studio.. and then there are the shower rooms, that huge blast of warm shower...
So I'm gonna leave all that?
Hmm how does an extra of RM90 a month sounds like? Cool eh?
It could go into my holiday fund (think Japan!), a manicure or a new nail color, a new pack of mask or even an extra skin goodies? Not bad eh?
Considering:
- I haven't visited The Gym in more than 3 months. The Work has taken 13 hours of my waking time. I no longer have the mental and physical strength to drive to The Gym.
- The journey to The Gym take about 50mins with the after work traffic. Crazy if you ask me. You'd say I could fill that 50 with Kegels first.. but still..
- My favourite Yoga teacher no longer teach there. Awww sad, but I really only adore yoga as my form of workout. Driving 50 mins to The Gym so that I could run on the treadmill is just plain insane! At the same time paying 90 bucks!
So yeah, its final. Goodbye The Gym!
I'll remember our better times.. like the meeting 3-4 times a week. Like we did constant yoga and balance classes. Like the kickboxing lesson. Like chilling out with the papers and a cup of tea :)
