In office~ Alone

Yes, it's the holiday period and all, bosses are not around in the office, taking a stroll somehwhere in France or HK or even at home. Unlike me, I am here alone surrounded by chocolates and more chocolates (bound to grew fatter one day). Time really flies and here I have been with Piaget for about 9 months. But I only like enjoyed 3 months here, because most of the time I was pissed, tired and simply can't be bothered with the rules and regulations from the management.

Nonetheless, I am glad that my blog is still working and I am still updating the bits and pieces of my life into a little URL.

Ok, let me conclude 2006 with a light note. It had been a relatively great year with so many new experiences, new job, new friends and new attitude. The one thing I need to highlight is the 'torture' of being back in school. Yes, and I really mean torture, because I simply have no time to enjoy the finer things in school, I just skim through school and work for the past 3 mths and exams + projects had been a real challenge for me. Not that I do not have time to do, it's that everything clashes. Whenever I have project submission, there will bound to be an event around the corner or some impt sales deadlines to meet. It's just been very very very busy for me. But yet I will try to squeeze time for JF and of course my other loved ones. Hope they see the real effort *wink*. Other than school, news click-able friends which I got to know had been a real blessings. To mention afew, there is gab & jacq from school, there is angela & jacq ng from JF's army friends. Although the friendship had been short and kinda distance, but the fun and laughter we had together is still fresh in my memory. It make me realise how fun it is to be young and socialising. hehe~

Of course, I need to talk about my 22nd birthday, which just passed gently. I had been excellent. I had spent with different peps on different days doing different things. On Friday, 22 Dec, I was out with Angela, Jason, Jacqueline, Andy & JF for a nice romantic dinner @ indochine by the river. Then we headed opposite for a little beer and KTV-ing. Overall, it was fun, taking stupid photos and receiving ridiculous present like purple furry lingerine and a timberboy vibrator.. hmm.. and the comment from Angela was that 'You must use it k'. Aiyo.. how open can these girls be. anws, shall not emphasize further. but JF was sweet, he actually dedicated a song for me @ the restaurant and had the singer wishing me happy birthday in front of the entire dinner crowd. Although most of her words were muffled, but the impt words like 'happy birthday', 'enjoy urself' and blah blah could be heard. It was nice and fuzzy inside. Next on the actual day, 23 Dec, I spent it with all my closest friends, like kel, michie, jolene, sush & my other sec sch friends. Afternoon was another round of KTV-ing and dinner @ marche and boardgames @ minds cafe @ boat quay. FUN was the word i should use to describe the board games session. The finale was a battle of the sexes of roundd of Jenga. Of course the girls won!! And the guys had to shake their bon bon on chairs in the cafe and tell us we're so beautiful.. haa! And the best part, I had it all videographed down. haha~ Ya, everything was unexpectedly enjoyable.

To those who had wished me happy birthday or merry xmas or simply there with me. I can never THANK YOU enuff!My love & blessings extend to you and your loved ones as well.. Have a HAPPY NEW YR!

Excuses

I don't understand, why can't they themselves access to the world wide web and reply to emails. If things are so urgent, why didn't they brief me before they go. All they did was talk about the weather there, the hotel they're staying, and the shopping. I don't understand. And here they all, smsing me every now & then, instructing me to do this and that. It's a waste of time and things are screwing up. Stocks are not arriving from the right places and no one is following thru with HQ and yes.. I am super pissed. Not to mention, tired.

Want me to write directly to HQ, then keep asking me to ask from them politely. When did I ever ask abruptly and rudely? When I write to them bowing my head down to them, who is going to give a f*cK about me? That's why blood is boiling inside me. Everyone replied me, like I deserve that kinda attitude, like what ever I did/asked was wrong (not to mention, those are instructions from all my boss!!!!)

3 days they were gone, only Thomas with his blackberry is able to access to emails. The rest are internet-disable!? Then why they brought their laptops with them? to play games? isn't there internet cafes? isn't there hotel internet access? Arghh.. somemore HQ is in the same time zone as them. And they're unable to communicate with them, unless thru me, who have no f*cuking idea what's going on!

Argh.. I am so pissed.. May the sky rain. Revive me!!!

why am I so piss-able recently?

Recently when I talk to her, my being will feel uneasy, and I just feel like !#!$@$@#$@$&*%.. Don't ask me why. Maybe because of her attitude.. what's the big f**k.

urgh...

Exploding Tummy

I finally have some peace & quiet to update my blog. And I conclude that there is something wrong with my computer at home. I seriously couldn’t post anything at home. It was terrible, and that was what contribute to my previous blog failures. And plus I had typed a whole chunk of things on Sunday evening and it’s all down the drain. @!$!$!@#$!@!#!%^#

Monday went by smoothly with so many things to do, because 1 thing, Lisa was not around to handle a lot of things, thus, as her assistant, I need to call this person, email that person, do this and undo that. But time passes very fast, which is something I am glad of. And now it’s the 2nd half of Tuesday and soon, the wonderful weekend will come.

I am starving right now, and I have no idea whether anyone will be lunching with me, because if my ex-lunch khaki (Alethea) had resigned like 2 mths ago. And I am left with inconsistent lunching-mates, who depends on their availability to makan with me. Nonetheless, I still at times enjoy to eat alone, to make plans to shop here and eat there. But sometimes, I felt so miserable, having to walk down orchard road, feeling lonely and hungry. But have no freaking idea where to head. Aiyea.. I just wish that I find some consistent lunch mates soon. Maybe I am too anti-social. Don’t know why, I can be really quiet at times, when I am with people whom I don’t really know or when I just have nothing to contribute to the crowd. It feels intimidating, and I dampens my mood and confidence. Even when I try to speak up, my voice/tone will tremble and break. And then I just close my mouth for good. How I wish I can be like someone who can speak their mind and who do not need to think phrase the conversation in the brain for 5 secs before speaking. Yes, I am someone like that. I am slow to think and afraid to say and pronounce wrongly. I am just a idiot.

Ok.. shall go with Lynn for lunch now. Lucky she called me. Be back ltr to continue..

I am back! Had pepperlunch @ shaw, fulfilling… hee.. Shall head back to my excel reports and emails.

New friend

I had convinced myself to eat fish soup with rice over lunch just now. When I was scrolling over to Scotts during my miserable 1 hr lunch break, I was comtemplating whether to have pasta mania or fish soup. Pasta, more yummy and got cushioned seats, but more carbo. Fish soup = healthy, not fulfilling, of course no cushioned seats and not yummy. But in the end, I convinced myself to take the healthier & cheaper choice. And now, after 2 hrs, I am regretting my earlier choice, now I am hungry and somethin is shouting at me over at the take beside me.. <> Yes, its calling over for me to come eat them. I shall not look at them.

Anyway, enuff of my dieting plan. I am pretty sure, it won't succeed in the end. Let me jot down my last night encounter at my course orientation. It all started at 7pm and when I enter this small computer lab, I just saw a crowd of confused & lonely individuals. All were either busy ready the course materials or staring blankly at the PC in front of them. So after marking my attendance (been a long time since I done that), I sat beside this girl with weird-shapped black spectacles. Although, I totally lost and confused and have freaking no-idea what to do with the PC in-font of me, prompting for a login password, I acted cool and steady. I casually flipped thru my course notes and this blue introduction booklet, instantly I grew bored. That's when this nice aussie lecturer noticed my obvious 'LOST' face, came over and tell me that I can login to the computer and activate my student account online. OKay.. finally I have something to do, while waiting for those sickening latecomers.

10mins after 7pm, the powerpoint presentation began with all the introduction & blah x 3. I almost fell asleep again. Finally after 1/2 hr, its over. When everyone else are ready to pick & go, the weird girl beside me & I realised, we are supposed to enroll for our units online by that evening. Opps... we panicked, looking around for helpful souls, until I raised my hand & checked with one of the programme in-charge. We quickly followed thru the steps and while doing so, we chatted and helped each other when we're stuck somewhere. And at last, both of us enrolled. And just when me and this girl is packing, she realised that we have to registered for our tutorial classes. argh.. once again, we put down our stuffs and went to the front of the class to look for the timeslot to plant our names on..We're 2 blur sotongs, but at least we have one another.

Finally at 8pm, we can walk out of the door with 2 huge files hugged tight in our arms and we chatted until we reached ground floor. She's a optimertist @ NUH. oh.. her name is jacqueline. And he boyfriend drive a 2 seater sports car, which I conincidentally saw when I was waiting with her for her BF.. WOH.. ok shall not envy her, my bf also have a 2-seater ma (motorbike).. hehe.. Anw, I am finding myself looking forward to school on Thursday..

Wish me luck ya..

Again....

I had always wanted to restart my blog, over and over again and yet whenever I did, something will happen to my computer and the page will hang and then blah blah blah, need to restart com, reload the page and type the bloody entire post again.. So I m really praying that this time, it will succeed, if not, I think I will never never NEVER create a blog again.

And plus my office is so quiet and my seating is right next to the opening of our little cubicle, everyone can see me blogging if they walk pass, especially if my BIG boss (thomas) comes around, I will be doomed! Anyway, he's a really nice, handsome ang mo, or rather french, who is really very easy-going and humourous, but abit on the stingy side, cause, he's irregardlessly still a typical ang mo, who count everything right down to each cent. I had been here for over 5 mths now, and this place is not too bad, except that maybe.. erm.. the job itself is boring. Imagine day-in & day-out, I need to create purchase orders, liaise with logistics on the delivery of products, assist my mktg manager to do reports, be stand-in @ the boutique when they're short-handed, & handle those misc. things. And now, maybe this time of the year, sales is quiet, mkt is slow, thus, I m practically sitting around with only air to work with. And also because all the managers are going over to NICE, in france for a world meet in early oct, and all the FY08 forecast and reports will come after this meeting, thus, now, its the slow period. Forgot to inform you guys that my brand, PIAGET, has 1 general manager (thomas), 3 managers (Jimmy-Coms, Lisa-Mktg/Retail, Janice-Sales), and me, the assistant to all of the above. YEs, now you can see how the hierachy works right, I m the tiny fry in this small organisation. But I always feel that I am indispensable. (jus being optimistic)...

Anyway, shall talk abt work next time. I m here to announce my re-entry into the blogging world.. be prepared for more then..

heaps of blessings to all..
