My sleepless night(s)

From the past couple of days, I've been having difficulties in getting a good night sleep and this eventually led to one of the most head splitting headache and migraine ever experienced. I'm not sure the exact cause of my difficulty, it could be that I’m too stressed out about my work as the workload pile on or there's to many mosquitoes requesting for blood donation or it could be that I'm feeling anxious about the wedding as the wedding date is getting closer by the second. Whatever the reason is, I do hope it won't last long as sleep deprivation will be detrimental to the state of my mental faculty…It proved to be one of the main causes that’ll get me easily agitated.

Yesterday was very hectic, I attended a meeting at Melaka for technical clarification for the proposal that I’d sent earlier. I'd to elaborate and explained further about the technical aspect of my proposal for almost 3 hours without any breaks in between. I could've sworn that all the sales personnel and procurement executive will doze off if they were given a pillow each. The only team that was enthusiastic about asking question was their technical and support team. Fortunately it went smoothly until my clarification ended and commercial clarification started. Of course in this part of the world, when we say commercial clarification what it really meant is the possibility of reducing the price or in other words the customer is asking for further discount. Our sales team was asked about the best price that they could extend to this particular client, but they retorted with a very short and crude answer “That’s the best price we can give you, no more discounts!” It’s the way that our sales team conveys the message to the client that caught them by surprise and was taken aback by it. Things are getting slightly out of hand and pretty tense but the sales team managed to pull the deal through, by the looks of it we will have to deploy our engineers for the installation in about 3-4 weeks.

From Melaka we quickly rushed to Cyberjaya to check the status of deployment progress on our clustering project, everything is in order though we faced quite a few hiccups during the first initial stages. I reached home about 8 p.m feeling drowsy and exhausted and slept at around 12 p.m after checking my email.

*Just had dinner at Saisaki, although they are offering 20% discounts but I must say that the food freshness and quality has dropped quite drastically from my previous visits. I guess the food quality was reduced in tandem with the price discounts.
