Another Tired Day Yesterday ...

These few days we ( my colleagues and me ) are really tired rush for the implementation of the new packaging concept launching in the customer place. Due to lack of manpower here, our whole team only have 8 people but we have to do R&D, PR/CS , Purchaser, Logistic, Production, Advisor, QC / QA, DCU and other. Like what we say in chinese "Include the mountain include the sea" (包山包海)type of job lah ...

But it is good to learn thing lah ... Learn how to work under extreme pressure ... ^_^ .... Another skill that i learn here is drinking skill .. Almost every night we will order 青岛beer during the dinner ... Then sure that the drinking level will be improved lah ...

Continue working without any holiday for quite sometime already ... I think the whole team also feel tired already .. Hope that there is some new manpower coming in soon else very difficult to control the situation here ... Really hope that this weekend have some time off so that can go to the town to look around ... Till today still dont have the time to really walk around in the town areas ..and also the beach even alhtough the beach is just across the road, one block from the apartment i stay now ....

View my picture in the room with a tired face ....*_* ...



The room is still okay lah ..
