Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Walk beside me and be my friend.

Ramblings..

Working had been kinda nice this 2 weeks, heh, you didn't read wrongly. I actually get to slack after say 3pm and it's not that hectic anymore. But heard the second batch of ERS forms is coming so I better slack as much as I can now as I still haven't found permanent helpers to assist me in the coming busy season, bleah.

Anyway, I missed wearing sch uni. Keep repeating my clothes until I super sianz already, then those opened shoes' bad for sole man, my feet's skin peeling off liao..

Can't wait for CNY and SA carnival to come.. We go together kk?

Oh, next week Charmed season 6 final episode, must watch! Hehe.

And Karen be careful (P.s to Inez, hmm, 75 gals being AP? Maybe, hehe.)

I can't believe that I actually work for 1 month liao, wow.

Take care folks! Eat more and slack if you can, hahaha.

multi-tasking.. or not!!

karen ar.. so a.p ar.. think must b v messy at ur office.. think i'll faint in there if i step into ur office.. not tt my workplace is any better.. must b more careful ar.. does 75 gers haf a tendency to be a.p... as in accident prone.. hmm.. it must b running in your blood..
anw.. realise my job pays really low.. considering the work i'm undertaking.. emailing, helpdesk, doing trial reports, replying emails, registering, keying excel sheets, calling out to employers, calling problem forms.. wad the hell (hey i'm cursing).. and still have to be oh-so-nice to employers when it's their fault for delaying payment and registration.. and i'm not the cpf board!! wad's e point of venting your anger on me when it' s not up to me to waive off all those processing fees and late payment charges.. "great".. next week shall b worst.. when is going to be nearing the 14th of the mth and there's so many PH (ie cny) b4 14.. the whole of singapore's employers shall call in n complain: "your hotline very hard to get through leh!! #$%^& open more lines la!!" the thing is: u've got thru n u're holding up the line.
heh.. paiseh need to de-stress.. cos have made quite a lot of mistakes.. esp ytdy while multi-tasking.. going emails and trial reports.. emailed the wrong format email to 2 employers.. BIG SERIOUS MISTAKE.. ain't suppose to send confirmation to proceed submission when their GIRO's not approved but i did send.. in the end have to call them and in the most professional manner you can ignore the email and apologise for tt (btw the email add i use to send out has a signature: THIS IS A COMPUTED GENERATED EMAIL blah blah.. so i've become a computer -.-''') n i have to follow up the cases to ease my guilt.. hope there ain't any repercussions.. then the registration mistake.. troublesome too but rectified.. think was in a bad mood ytdy.. wonder my colleagues realise tt cos i always this stern-looking person there.. strange i refer them as colleagues not frens.. not tt the relationship wid them is like those of aquaintance.. but better than i just start out..
ok.. i feel better.. after trashing so much stuff here.. haha.. hopefully tml is a better day.. it can't b any worse.. was reading straits times urban section.. there's this part on office politics.. wonder is there any in my workplace.. backstabbers, apple-polisher... not v apparant to me.. mayb is a govt stat board.. so the best thing there is to find another job.. hoho..
oh rmbr to watch charmed/ desperate housewife/ american idol/ amazing race.. esp desperate housewife.. cos no sex n the city on free-to-air channels.. settle for next best thing?
n btw OT is when i made those registration mistakes.. so realise dun chiong so much.. no point when the next day you have to work more to rectify the errors you made.. so lesson 2 learned.. n i do appreciate 5 days work week.. no more weekend jobs for me.. lesson 3 learned..

hahx

i just got quite a cut on my elbow 'cos i accidentally scratch it against the metal thing that was supposed to hold the keyboard tray but the keyboard tray fell out. but i didn't curse at all this time...i was like ouch...rather pain...not a very deep cut though..but quite long...bah.

the people at my workplace only curse by saying stupid XXX, smelly XXX...in chi of 'cos. yah.

as a student, i have no comments about a five day week. but as an employee...i support a five day week totally! i don't mind working slightly half an hour later on weekdays and having lunch hours cut short...i just don't want to work on sat. so sian.

hello....

its been ages since i last come online to leave or write any msg...bleah...anw i agree wif jacq man...my time is oso damn screw up so hardly spend dat much..hah...but well when it comes to my off days n i nthg to do or juz so happen to go out...i'll spend..haha...

well karen,u mean ur office ppl really no one curse or wat meh?so cool...hah...coz ah at my work place cursing mildly or intensely is so common man...so im very used to it(im one of those who did d least cursing...hah...belive it or not.. :P) but my work place ah...can not show anger or watsoeva coz...im in d SERVICE industry where we'll b "ttack"by ppl from all walks of life..haha...sort of getting used to kena scolding n F at by them but we hafta smile n say "thank u"...haha...sad huh?..

titleless

yup karen, i cant choose OT too. and inez, i cant believe you actually wants to do OT. for me, when there's OT, it usually means that we cant close the shop in time. and at 11pm at night, all you want to do is to get home and not continue mopping and cleaning stuff.

you all office people, be thankful that you can curse (aloud or otherwise). all my cursings have to be replaced by smiles cos the customers are always right (yadda yadda). spent thirfts sia!! when you work weird hours like me, there's not much time to go out much less spend. hahaz... and the perk of working in F and B esp when you are new is that you can try stuff on the pretext of wanting to know how they taste like. plus i get two drinks (though limited in scope) per day. so next time if you all visit during non busy hours, i will try to smuggle for you kay? ;p

Blabbering

Haven't been updating at here for quite some time.. It's amusing to know that Karen's cursing when she hit the table or something, be more careful kay gal? Heh, I also curse (silently) when my killer stacks of paper fall to the floor. Inez can choose to do OT ah? I haven't even start OT-ing yet, so maybe I'm not as busy as I thought I was?

Working life is busy, sigh. Can't really believe that I didn't come online during my work week, haha. And I'm spending money faster than I'm earning them, especially on transport fees, I wanna be a child (in the govt's eyes) again, haha.

Anyone wanna catch a movie call me along k? My colleagues don't really go for those type of English movies that I do, sigh. Alfie, Shall We Dance?......

Me...

Hm...inez...you can actually choose to do OT. I can't. I can't decide whether i can do OT. If not, I'll do a lot. My boss won't let people OT for nothing. Only when they're like really close to the deadline yet still have a lot to do...then he asks them to do OT. Bah. But I will have a lot of OT-ing in mar/apr. Bleah...

The people around me don't utter any curse word. Not even in Chinese. But why do i keep cursing silently when i knock into things? It's not even mild words like s**t. Bah. I should either stop cursing or stop bumping into the edges of office tables or whatsoever.

Lesson to be learned

hey peeps!

was double-checking my dec salary just now.. and took out my bank book to check the amt.. guess wad.. it's actually negative value!! ok not real negative value.. but i spent more than i earn.. sianZ -.-''' that is so damn bad!! i think i need to go for some wealth management course or something.. mayb to console myself or sth.. at least i gave my parents pocket money for dec.. oh did i mention.. i still havent get my home theater system.. so where did my money go????!!!! mayb i shld really go and find weekend job and do more O.T...

(do it) anyway

people are often unreasonable, illogical and self centred; forgive them anyway.
if you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
if you are succesful, you will win some friends and some true enemies; succeed anway.
if you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.
when you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.
if you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.
the good you do today, people will forget tomorrow; do good anyway.
give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you've got anyway.
you see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. it was never between you and them anyway.

this poem was written by Mother Teresa and is engraved on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta.
