Thoughts of Wandering JM

I feel tired of working from home sometimes. As much as I enjoy the benefits of not having to commute to office and face traffic jam every day and had the opportunity to wake up a bit later than usual 5.30am... it gets tiring too. I have always love to separate work and home environment. But with WFH, there is no line between these two. My room is my personal space and work space nowadays and that just throw off the balance for me. & I don't like it. Since yesterday evening, my feelings to work are just off. I can't explain it but I do not have the "drive" to work and I am unable to concentrate. I do have things to do but it's not much... Thought of taking leave today but I have to present some work at 2.30pm. So, I decided to take time off tomorrow. To chill and take a break from work.  Before COVID-19 pandemic, we actually save our annual leaves for travel and that helps us to refresh. But now since we could not travel as usual and with MCO being implemented...

Of Unwanted Assignment - Part 1 Sometimes I wish I am doing something else. Something more fulfilling to myself than the work I'm doing now. Things that I actually have interest to work on, especially to increase my knowledge, skill and experience. I'm not sure when will I get the chance to change my current scope of work to those job again. I crave for it but at the same time I am losing my confidence on my technical knowledge and I wonder if I could still do the job well.  Two years and counting since I last did anything related to drilling. 2018 was a hard year for me work wise. When I was patiently waiting to received information on upcoming project, I was suddenly assigned to work with WM Joint Venture (WMJV) team. The news came one day after my birthday and I was truly devastated by it. Since the end of my project in 2017, I was looking forward for this upcoming project as I used to take care of the field during my internship as Production Technologist back in 2011. It f...

MCO Day - lost count WFH Day - lost count I have been thinking of topics i would like to write in this blog and promise myself that I would switch on my personal laptop and actually write it. But thinking without actually moving to do it, won't bear any fruits. Hence, the blog has been empty since April. So much of being excited to create a new blog in March, a fresh start so to say. (well actually, i couldn't remember my blogdrive password hence the new blog.) I used to write my thoughts almost everyday. Mostly on how i feels and usually on the people i have crush on at that particular moment. Back when I was in school, I kept a diary and write my rebellious feelings there. When I was angry, you can actually see it from my handwriting... all BIG, CAPITAL LETTERS and full of AARRGGGHHH and exclamation marks!!!! When i read it back few years ago, i laughed and also got embarrassed by my own "kid-likes" expression that i decided to burned all my diaries. hahaha Defin...

MCO Day - 24 WFH Day - 19 I'm starting to feel a little restless, a little loss, a little emotional and a lot tired. The best is to keep myself and my mind occupied. But I'm not sure what I want to do and even if I do know what to do, I'm just mentally and physically tired to do it too. Sleeping sounds good but once I lie down, I couldn't sleep until 2 hours later. It's so frustrating. & so today we get confirmation from our Prime Minister that the MCO will be extended to 28 April. Oh my. When I heard it this evening, I can't help myself to sigh dejectedly. Another 2 weeks of being stuck at home (which is okay for me) and it also means another 2 weeks of WFH (noooooo) . I'm so tired of this wfh. Admittedly, wfh is more tiring than working in the office. On normal days, I usually go back home by 5.00 pm. But with this wfh (this week especially) , I'm still working at 5.30 pm - 6.00 pm, and some days I continue working at night. Not only that,...

MCO Day 14 WFH Day 11 2 weeks since MCO was announced by the Prime Minister and let's just admit that we are getting bored of being stuck at home. I have no issue with staying at home to be honest, I'm actually enjoying the time I have with family and with myself. But it is so "human" of us to feel rebellious when we are force to do something. The more you say don't, the more we would like to do it. Ah, wouldn't it be nice if we could go out? What I truly get bored of is actually working at home. I always like to have that demarcation or boundary between work and home. Since 2018 when I was transferred into a non-technical role, I started to draw the line between work and personal space. I rarely do work at home since most things could wait till I'm in office. I may replied to some urgent emails but I always tried my best not to do it at home. The results of doing this is simply a happier me . On the 16th of March, my department decided to ...
