damn tl le
I: hey! why dun u return me the file. i will go amend every single page to correct the title then when i am done i return u the file
SI: no need lah. u just amend the page will do
I: No. since u keep saying the title is wrong, and u need me to amend tt page so tt u can fill in the $$, i think i would prefer to amend the affected pages with the incorrect title
SI: no need lah. tt one can take time to amend. amend the glaring one first
I: no. what if the big boss happened to flip thru the doc. and spot the mistake. i rather one shot amend now
SI: ok. i return u the file now u amend for me
I:ok

I: i also need to amend lor. i need time. once i am ready i call u tomolo
SI:very simple changes. now can do rite?
I: u just go back, i will call u when i am done
SI: erm...ok...i call u tomolo then
I: its i call u when i am done.
SI: ok. i call u
I: i already said i call u. so why u call me
SI: why i cannot call u
I: when i am done, i will call u. u call me. i not ready then call for wat
SI: why dun u give me the soft copy, i amend faster. i can control the timing
I: no. i will not forward u the soft copy. its my work. i should be the one doing not u
SI: why u so rigid?
I: its not me ok. u kept insisting tt the title is wrong and u cannot use the existing hard copy to fill in the $$. so i got to amend all the incorrect pages lor. to make sure tt everything is in order before i give it back to u
SI: then u forward me the soft copy lah. i amend
I: no. dun u get it? its my work, how can u do it for me? imagine, i ask u for ur dwgs, then i do the designing work for u. will u allow me to do it?
SI: tts 2 different issues!!
WTF!!
where got 2 different issues!!
he simply dun get it
and he is getting on my nerves
and driving me up the wall into my grave.........sigh

all these happened in one day.....TODAY

i was so very the upset
coz not sure abt u, but once i raise my voice, i will get all worked up
and then the mood will be spoilt and tts it
want to cry

is it so difficult to understand......NO MEANS NO
not tt i dun want to help
but whats wrong with striking out the words tt u dun need and just write the word u want?
and why in front of boss said OK but behind insisted tt i must change

since u started it, saying tt the title is wrong and therefore cannot use it
then i played along lor, i also insist tt i want to correct all the wrongs before i submit it back to him to get approval......dun come and say tt i am rigid......u try to be funny first so i follow suit

seriously, i think either he change or i change
something is wrong somewhere....
but am i at fault?
or he simply pissed me off.....
arrrgggghhhhhhh

still have got 14 months to go once the project kick off
wtf!!
stuck with a SI
sigh
might as well make the best out of it......
must think of a way to thrash this issue out
