On medical leave due to my coughs and flu. Fetch the kids from school and they kept me company the whole day.
Tuesday - Feb 13th
Back to work with a lot to do. First thing first, we had to do some retest for BDM project. Unfortunately, it took us longer than expected. I thought we could finish everything in a couple of hours but we ended up spending the whole day doing 3 rounds of test due to technical problems! I was concerned that we still have this sort of problems when we're 2 weeks away from going live.
Had an ad-hoc meeting to discuss this and we all decided to have another round of test on Wed.
Wednesday - Feb 14th
Today is actually the planned go-live date but due to issues regarding DC migration, we had to postpone it.
Started the test early and we had one of the IT girl to tag along with the testers to keep a close eye on anything and everything. We were done by 5pm and I had no choice but to close an eye and nod my head in agreement to conclude UAT.
Then comes the preparation for Project Board Meeting. The Dutchman helped to prepare the slides while i get my hands dirty on some documents to be signed during the event. Stayed back till almost 10pm with him and Syam. Went back feeling all tired and sicker than ever.
Thursday - Feb 15th
Today's D-Day. Project Board Meeting was scheduled at 10am and i have not seen the slides for the presentation. The Dutchman ran us through the slides 20 mins before the meeting and i didn't have the time to properly think about the things i wanna say to the Project Board. Oh well. What will be, will be.
Yep. What will be, will be. The meeting was fine albeit the endless questions from the Board. 2 out of 3 documents were approved and signed on. Presentation went well. Project Board were happy and i didn't faint or cough like a mad person. Yey!
Had lunch with the project team courtesy of the Project BE. We had dim sum buffet at Istana Hotel and of course, yee sang for the coming Chinese New Year celebration. After all the hard work i've put on this project for the last couple of days, i would say this treat is well-deserved. Everyone left the restaurant feeling full and content.
Syam feasting on dessert. Little did he know that he'll need to slave till late to finish my test script. Hahah!Another late night for the 3 of us. The Dutchman walked me to my car and bid goodbye while Syam went to dinner with his friends.
I went home tired and nothing close to better.
Friday - Feb 16th
Quiet morning - ICW meeting was canceled and that gave me more time to work on the test script. Spent the whole morning with Syam, trying to get the test script updated and ready to be signed by 2.30pm.
By the way, a wisdom tooth decided to make an appearance and caused me nothing but throbbing pain. By lunch time, i could not even eat like a normal person. To make it worse, the school called and the damsel in distress had missed her ride - again!!
So off i went to fetch her and this time around, launched my bullets on her for missing her ride! I had less than an hour to brave through Friday-lunchtime-traffic and still make it in time for my 2.30pm meeting. I was 10 mins late and as expected, i was among the few people to be there almost-on-time. We had a good discussion about implementation and the rest of the meeting was more of a happy chatting rather than business talk. This is what you get when you have a meeting prior to a long break.
Anyway, i'd like to wish you all a Happy Lunar New Year and to those not celebrating, enjoy the long break.
