This WeEk..

fast... one week goin to be over again..this is is quite interesting as i have done quite a fair bit of things..i have presented the flow to a bunch of managers.. of course with the assistance of my boss.. and i have learnt to do the change report.. and best of all..boss wrote me the email below:

======================================
Honestly good job done by you even though Yong/Henry not around and you do the follow up.
To me, after 3 months or so, I fine that you learn fast, speak and communicate well with all levels of staff.
True to the heart, I did not make a mistake in selection, even though making an effort to follow up with you on your employment.
Keep it UP. Thanks for the on-going good result and support.

"doing little thing good is toward doing big thing better"

====================================

cool huh...heeee..i take this as encouragement for me to work.. at least feel motivated to work..

boss asked me to write down my contribution so far as he will compile it and ask out big boss to convert me to perm staff.. cool cool..

so.. i shall continue to KANBATE.. for my employment.. haaaa..

NighT saFAri @ GeYLanG..

Today we had tennis game ..thomas, jenna, Yong, Jeffrey and i.. we still crooked.. cant play well.. serving is ok.. but still not good in playing..

Thomas is picking up real fast.. he can serve even this is the first time he ever play tennis.. clap clap..

we had our 2 hours picking balls game.. cos most of the time pick balls..pheww.. anyway.. we r quite serious abt picking up.. so Yong n i will go n buy the racket..
after the game, we went geylang for dinner.. Thomas's suggestion. we had the famous taiwanese "mian sian", then eat tauhua, n "you tiao" n some taiwanese biscuits.. very very nice..no wonder people say food in geylang very nice..

then Thomas brought us all walk across the buildings where many prostitute r doing their business.. sometimes really dunno to pity them or wat.. b'cos of money those young gers have to wear sexily and line up along the road for man to pick.. some will go n pull the guy's hand...so the 2 guys more worried than us.. haaa..

still feel so "geli" cos.. many indian workers n old uncle approach those prostitute.. yeakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk... cannot imagine further..

anyway.. eye opening lah.. as we said this is our night safari Geylang tour.. haaa..

another weekend happily spent..:) i love my life..

B@sS n Me..

i think my boss favour me.. i think it's my sixth sense.. cos he treat me better and always treat me makan..bring me to meetings.. share opinions to me..

maybe cos his favourites--> Thomas is my buddy ? that's why i also become his favourite? haaa.. anyway, as long as he is ok with me im ok with him..

actually, i really find him a very unusual manager.. he always share his experiences.. sometimes he tends to repeat wat he already said .. wat to do 52 years old uncle.. but his motivation and drives really something i admire.. who can be so motivated in work n in life like he is ? i think most people at 52 already tot of retiring.. not so aggresive..quite rare to know someone like this.. so full of hope in life ..


eventhough he has the strange temper.. for 3 months im there.. this is happening twice i think.. n i heard sooo much bad things abt him.. how his staff dislike him.. how secretive he is.. n the way he always ask people to eat his left over.. n stuff... those r true actually.... anyway.. no one will NOT talk bad abt their boss.. so very normal..

However.. i find myself respect this guy..something abt him that make me respect him and loyal to him as his staff..

abt 9 more months to go..i shall continue to enjoy my days here.. a very unusual working experience..:))

WorK...

mm.. i think im beginning to love my job..im learning new things now.. i get to do hands on..get to try on script..get to execute 'change'.. meanwhile im helping boss to do the management staff.. charts, documentaion, draft email, power point.. i feel more useful day by day.. not too busy yet occupied.. heeee.. still can have coffee break and have fun..

Good good.. boss say wanna me to go swift course.. basic course.. mm.. he always say sending me to course but till now haven go any.. chehhh.. anyway, i think he is planning for it..hopefully i get to go.. make myself value added..

crazy abt tennis game..sunday we shall have our tennis day.. heee..

recently, a x-col online in yahoo.. get to chat with her.. find out that she is not balancing her life.. why i said that ? mm.. cos she just gave birth to a boy in feb and now she is back to work life..her baby is left in m'sia with her parents.. i tot she must be goin home very frequently.. since she definitely miss her baby ?
but seems like she is so occupied with her life.. like go to her MLM business thing, go exercise and so on rather than go home n spend time with her baby.. then i asked she wont miss her baby ? she said miss but busy..

haaaa.. maybe it is always easy to say than doing it.. i may think she is not that responsible as a mother.. just in charge of giving birth.. the rest dun care.. but when this is happening to myself..im not sure if i'll b like her ?

anyway..it is always hard to balance work n family.. wonder how our parents do it.. that's why they are forever the BEST !!

GoOD Life...;-)

i think im darn lucky.. cos my job is so relax now..haaa.. excpet for documentation , database restoration, some change and request to do.. basically im enjoying life..

for the whole of last week, almost every lunchim eating for free.. either it's vendor's treat or boss treat or Jeffrey's treat..n we always can have coffee break.

today again vendor's treat.. we had lunch at Jack's place..really pity the vendor.. but they need our deal.. they already got a lot though.. so my boss always find chance to get some free meals.

anyway.. makan is makan.. work still need to do.. after such a heavy lunch.. sleepy like hell.. even at 5pm my boss said.. very full hor..see lah.. eat so much n i have to do more exercise to balance.. sigh.. the consequence of enjoying food ..

im starting to learn how to do more CHANGE (work)..so.. CC not around i get the chance to learn.. good also.. heee.. we have been quite peaceful recently while CC not around.. else he is very noisy !!

Enjoying life....enjoy my work life.. really dunno where to find such job.. haaaa..

SunDaY....

Yesterday gathering had been a mistake for me..shouldn't have gone for it..cos it was bored and not interesting..people is trying to boast so much abt their career.. their whatever whatever..n talked until 3 plus in the morning..

so, i have to cancel badminton game cos cant wake up on time.. sigh..anyway, my sis n i went gym today.. we had our treadmill jogging.. and sauna. feel much better..and we have our chatting abt frens.. interesting to see how my sister share the same opinions as me .. heee.. eventhough we always argue n argue.. haaa

Today JL bought the $80 movies tickets for 10 tickets. nowadays watching movies in cinema is $9.50 per person. so now we only paying $8 per ticket. much more worth it..
we started with Mr & Mrs Smith. Good one.. brad Pitt still drop dead gorgeous.. so good looking.. Angelina Jolins still as sexy ever..man all nose bleed when see her..

Next movie is batman...waiting for my sis's company movie ticket.. $5.50 per ticket if get.. hoo..

GOIn bLInD..

It's been months since i wear contact lense.. after the conjunctivitis im very sensitive abt contact lense.. cured already but still feel uncomfortable when wear one...

I still have many daily softlens left over.. yest went exercise, so tot of clearing these stocks.. so i weat one pair.. nothing is wrong until when i try to remove them my right eyes lense broke.. probably cos my nail? but left side can b removed easily.

So i try harder to get it out.. n the lense broke into smaller pieces..chan liao lor.. i cant see any lense inside my eyes but i keep feeling like somthing inside when i blink my eyes..n the portion above my eye ball turn red.. worried that i'll get sore eyes again.. phewww..

today, decided to see doc cos still feel not comfortable..chan chan...
the stupid doc shine torch light to see also cant confirm. he said it could b i rub too hard that injured the eyes.. OR it could b that the lense stick inside the white portion of my eyes.. cos he said he can see a layer n red red.. so he refer me to see eyes specialist to confirm tmw.. sigh.. k lor.. no choice

told my mum.. expected.. get scolding.. sob sob.. she asked me to throw the lense away.. NEVER wear again..sigh.. k lor..

so i apply eye drops now.. hopefully tmw better..:(

NuA @ Home..

Decided to forgo the teaching offer..fax the reject letter to them..n i shall remain in IT for some time..

people ask me why in the first place apply this position. I tot of the following:

point 1: At some point in my life, i felt bottleneck in my career, i cant see
where i will b few years down the road.
point 2: Im eyeing at the stability in Government job.
point 3: I have this little passion for teaching n children.
point 4: Im currently on a contract job, i fear the possibility of have to look for
another job again. dread the process. so im hoping for a permanent job.
point 5: The Application for this position is easy. Online.


Why i reject now ? i tot of the following answers:

point 1: I guess after all im still comfortable in IT world ? at least im
comfortable in my current job now.
point 2: 3 years Bond involved. How if i really hate this job? I'll be miserable.
I've been bonded b4 so i understand how it felt to want to leave but cant
point 3: maybe i'll just teach something else ? instead of goin to formal
institution like this ? like SN they all said, maybe i should teach yoga one day, since i like this form of exercise. Do n teach something i like ?
point 4: I guess life is never so smooth sailing. If i dun get a perm job by next
year, i'll have to go through the job search again. only for the better i hope.
point 5: I din expect to get this offer so easily.< 10 min interview.
Point 6: No one thinks im suitable to be teacher :( even my mum who always wanted me to be teacher said "ARE YOU SURE?" cos all along i dun want to b teacher and suddenly i apply now...the feedback from people around me make me hesitate. Maybe afterall im not the type to be teacher?

So.. life goes on. Another decision made. Hopefully this is right.

Been feeling like this recently:

"like heart have sour feeling
Like thinking whether he miss or not..
Feeling like so miserable.."

heee..nice to know he miss.. love.. deeply.

I guess all women in love will want lots of attention from their guy ? im no exception. I may say nvm but still i hope he make the effort to find out abt how i feel.. that's why man always say dun understand woman.. cos we just want them to guess instead of telling them directly ?!?

Disaster RecoVery..

First time ever im participated in a DR.. so cool.. still system team are the busiest .. operational n network just do small little parts..

i getto try to run some startup script sin some countries.. and learn some file sending scripts..the rest of the time.. me,Tom, Yong.. eat(got buffet), talk.. and see people..and that's the most we do.. haaa.. n get money for that..

anyway.. we stayed till abt 5:30.. after that also feel tired cos too much of talking ? n eating? tom bought lots of tit-bits too.. stuff chocolates n sweet to me.. im gonna be one very fat woman soon !!!

tom been trying to recommend me to system team, haaa.. kind of him. so if i finish my contract .. i may have chance to join database or system team.. that's not a bad idea.

k..been updating pretty frequent lately..free mah.. hooo

MakAnIng..

Four Gers outing..so long never go out just the 4 of us..Suh's treat cos she was promoted recently.. great salary increment.. hoo.. she happy n we happy for her..

we have known each other since 1998 ( NTU first year )

Suh.. always the leader among us. she still is now. maybe cos she speaks louder? higher in volume.. haaa.. but she is the one who is very analytical. that's why she is a planner.she is too carefree to find a bf.. she said she wants to be free, wants to explore more life before she settles down.

JF..always have so much info from people around her..esp her col's private life.. phew.. she knows too much abt sex life.. haaaa.. wants to travel around the world.. now she wants to work in europe or japan.. she also thk having a bf will tie her down.. she said unless she found an expat who is willing to travel with her... she dun really like guy who is too guai.. we concluded guys she like would be like Raymond, TL those type.. who makes her laugh a lot and a bit "huai" type.. heee


ML..always the baby among us, cos she is like never grow up from her physical look.. always so 'natural'.. no make up.. no trendy clothes.. she only interested with people esp guy with high education, high rank, work in big company, all high high profile..i thk she is being too realistic..maybe what she is aftering is not wat im aftering..i'm choosing to be low-profile.. normal life.. so i feel there's a gap btw us.. haaaa..

anyway.. great to still keep in close contact with my these 3 frens..we may be heading to different directions of our life.. but always for the better i guess ..

May we still be frens n still be able to meet up and spend some chit-chat time in coffee bean in the next 5.. 10.. 20 years.

piccy taken.. Ml not included as she doesn't want to be taken

AnoTher WeEk..

Well..this week was a busier week..

mon-wed boss not suppose to be in, but he called back everyday.
Monday he called and asked why i din go tennis last sat..
Tuesday he called, asked ,me to meet with boss to discuss with our follow-ups
Wednesday, really big one.. power failure and he rushed back to office with slippers n hawaiin shorts...

so basically, i still see/hear him everyday..

Thursday.. his face like charcoal whole day.. cos of the power failure incidents.. he needs to report to boss and lots of explaining to do..

Friday.. he din sleep much cos early morning they have some hardware power source installation and he is worried to death..

so.. we worked according to his mood.. if sunny.. we all happier.. if cloudy we all worried too.. so his dog get scolding the most.. everyday stand in his office n let him scold.. ghaaaaa pity him... boss only do that to him n not to others.. so we all tot the problem must be himself not boss..

n this week, i got the offer letter..wonder why now i dun feel like teaching anymore..so i guess most likely i'll reject and reapply when i want to.. give myself a bit more time in IT ? i dunno.. so in dilemma...sigh..hate to make decisions

This sat MUSt go tennis cos boss been telling me more than 3 times .. must go tennis.. wonder y our attendance so important to him..anyway i've paid for it so i'll go.. not b'cos he asked me to..

shall meet up with suh, JF n Ml this sat for lunch.. will consult them abt the offer i got.. hopefully their advise will help me to decide..


sunday shall have DR, got to go back to work..they said not much to do.. just go there eat, watch movie and get money.. heeee

But.. he still call back today and told me.."you din go tennis on sat ??" wah lao.. he is mad.. he said the coach told him.. he jokingly said this is our individual performance.. slap slap..

Sat went tree top walk.. and got lost.. purposely din choose the long path we took the last time i went with suh they all.. tot choosing the normal path will lead us out.. who knows.. make us walk round the gold field and got stuck for so long.. n wasted my $10 cos i have no energy to go tennis after this super-long walk..
