DAY 1 of SALES

today its a thursday, really makes me wonder. these customers who are queuing non stop in my store, don't they need to work??? the queue is really unbelievable, it can go on and on around my store. even for other depts. im super tired. the pain from my sprained wrist is acting up again and i injured my thumb 'cause of the stupid security tag releaser. broke some of my nails. :( we have set a new record in our company again! we topped today! hehe.

heard from my col may have bonus, damn, what the heck at the month of my notice period??? not fated i guess. haha. received a call for interview next week, my ex mgr asking me over to lee hwa, another ex mgr asking me to go over to sell jewelry as well and one of my regular customer suggested me to cross over to sell luxury watches. i donno. lost again. bored i guess. let me go over genting first. need to take a breathe there. a place cheap and able to relieve myself from the stress i have. haha.

STOCKTAKE

clocked out at 2am. all due to discrepancies! it doesn't pay to be nice and helpful. that B**** strikes again. haha.

seeing my staff calculating the stocktake papers instead of keying in(as i need to make sure everything runs well at my wkplace), i asked her. she told me that the papers were handed to her without summing up. which is not our normal practice. The managers should be the one tabulating and handle it to us to key in. seeing her busy and in a bad mood, decided to calculate for my staff. poor thing she was having terrible cramps. that B... gathered the whole dept and stood around me when the aircon was off. was so HOT already still gather around me.

she has been screaming and shouting at her staff all the while whenever there is discrepancy. now, gathered them and told them off and she looked at me in such a way to ask me to comment on what went wrong. i commented, she told me off in front of them saying i was raising my voice and she should be the one making a big fuss, not me. DUH! i just kept quiet, actually want to add on a line, ' u are already making a big fuss and think there is something wrong with this stocktake's organisation.' haha. anyway, i did not, i guess the guys would be sensible to know that i went up to help them and being told off in the end. haha. yah, they did tell me that though, thanked and asked me to ignore her.

from the way she handles matter and organising staff etc, felt that she is just treating them as STAFF not a TEAM. whatever. this will be my last week and i will enjoy as much as i can at my workplace. i will definitely miss all of my colleagues. a place full of laughters and experiences. :)

Ministry of Sound is Goood...!

R n B Room from MOS.

MOS rocks man! when i saw the queue, my friends and i almost wanted to back out. haha. happened to see one of my ex colleague and hence, 'cut the queue'. :P it's really a very big place full of well-dressed and very good looking people! eye opener man. no wonder MOS is internationally well-known. they have different rooms spinning different genres of music. if you do not like the music at the main dance floor, you can walk around and check out other rooms to see whether you like the music. met my ex mgr who is getting married tommorrow, he made me drank. i have not been drinking these months man. hmmph. :| anyway, 'cause he is getting married, hence obliged him. haha.

my HK hairstylist-ex bf was being featured by the Straits Times today (22 nov). haha. he SMS and told me about it, out of curiosity, i went to buy a copy. read the contents and laughed. whatever he told me about his career, his life and how he started was on the papers. i remembered that i was shocked when i dropped by his apartment to pass him a present that i bought for him from bangkok, his room is so clean and neat! but he did not even have a hairdryer in his room at all (esp. he has shoulder-length hair)!! i was telling him, how can he go out w/o drying his hair etc. even though his apartment is so near Orchard?? he went to buy a hair dryer in the end and SMS me. cute right? some guys really do things beyond your imagination man. he still SMS and asked me how i am doing, go movies etc. he is quiet but frank. i do not like guys who say things which they do not mean. :) erm.. yah he can be boring at times but when he is trying his best to converse with me using mandarin which he does not speak frequently. laughter comes along when he pronounces words wrongly and 'direct translation' from cantonese to mandarin. he has been trying to learn english as a way to upgrade himself as well as to converse better with me. kept grumbling that he is trying hard to learn english and ask me to converse with him. haha. guess i should go and brush up my cantonese as well. he is a nice guy, i would say, just too quiet at times but when he want to talk, he will speak non stop in 'mandarin mixed english'. haha... got to rest. next week gonna be super busy!! ta~

my store's X'mas Party 2005

my team!



Men's team!



Sally and me finishing up the icecream logcake! Yummy!!

i have gt a cup from the gift exchange. haha. very fun though. haiz.. sad to say. this will be my last x'mas party with them. another 11 days to bummer days. hehe.

Dr Phil's Test.

my personality from Dr Phil's test;

Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful and practical.  They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it  takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

haha.. sounds true. Oprah scored 38 while i scored 31, still under the same category. haha. but like what T**** and shi have said i should not expect the same kind of treatment that I have done for them and towards me. i have to lower my expectations towards my bf and frds, what comes next. i became a person without expectations. *confused*

another 12 days and im jobless...

haha.. after slogging non stop for 3 years, think its time for me to take a break. will be going to genting(my fave place, not for gambling but a place to relax). felt my pc is terribly 'sick', needs to send to my bro, Dr Berfie Tan to receive treatment. hehe. was listening to some songs, the ones he sang as well, i know its unhealthy to think of the past. how i wish there's a 'meng po tang'(a soup to erase all your memories), i will drink it all and move on. oh well, it has been 6 years. perhaps im just weird. as for mr koh, he is not in my memory anymore. he is a jerk.

someone promised me that he will make something for me as my birthday present. as installments for 5 years ahead, it will be a HOUSE! :P haha! take your time. its ok. just a present. even though, u give me a paper crane, i will accept it. :) just hope it is something not bought from the shelf. *winks*

my friend who just came from KL, wants me to accompany her to buy things. promised to call at 12pm. its 4pm already! i don't even know what to do now. anyway, have to head down my school to hand in my research proposal and settle the school fees installment. *faint* got to pay 1k for dec, jan, mar, apr due to overlap installments. super broke. haiz.

Things that happened on my 2005 bd

2. received a total of 20 sms of bd greetings, 3 friendster bd msgs, 5 msn bd wishes.

boring huh. nothing much about my bd. Lots of gd things happened. I believe my life will change from next year onwards and turn for the better. gt to slp. tired again....

Finished my research survey prosposal at LAST!

I kept dragging and dragging. wasted so much time and in the end, I stayed home on my birthday to finish it up. The proposal is done, it is the 25 questions-questionnaire that is wasting my time! who would take so much time to finish such a lengthy questionnaire. unless u give me a S$100 cash voucher for that or the prizes given are damn attractive. all right, I 'proposed' to give a pair of air tickets, IPOD Nano and a year free to travel all around..........on SBS buses! hahaha. now that I am done. I can concentrate on job hunting at ease already. Have to head down to SIM to hand in my assignment and pay my next sem's school fees. Don't even know whether I have passed my last exam but I'm able to promote to the next sem. weird. Anyway, I will be getting my results next jan which is next month, hope I pass so I won't have to pay for the subpaper. gonna be jobless, will be a pauper. haha.

now waiting for my friend to come home and out for dinner. only had my last night's birthday cake till now and I feel really hungry, don't know why I did not feel hungry at all when I was doing my questionnaire same goes for when I was working at another store. I am able not to eat for the whole day, rushing my paperwork and other stuff, only realised that I am hungry after I am off work. haha. Good slimming sanctury workplace where you can earn money and slim down at the same time! haha.

My birthday!

My surprise birthday cake from my sis!!

was *hinting* my sis indirectly that I was feeling so sad that I do not have cake to cut at midnight. she told me she was at home already. I was like haiz... she actually went to central and bought a cake for me!! my SIS man! she is kinda lazy and of cos a 'money-saver', so I was very touched when I saw the cake. Had a small celebration at home.

Thanks,T**** for dropping by after work. I understand that you are facing problems at work but believe me there will be a sliver lining in the cloud. Glad to hear that some of my cozmates are doing well in the industry, sometimes I really hope I can be like them and crave a career path on my own. I feel proud of them. :) Thanks,angelin for helping me place the candles and singing birthday songs from english to chinese but no cantonese. haha.

I am very disappointed that my best friend who came back from Australia for vacation, did not even receive any call or sms from her. I have been calling her all these years to wish her on her birthday.... I understand that her sister is in the midst of wedding preparation but she is not the one getting married.. think a phone call won't take up too much time and I did msg her to ask her out for dinner. Sad to say, no reply even till now. Just felt that she has her priority of her bf over me now. anyway, I maybe just a friend but to her, her bf maybe her future husband. :(



My colleague and I whose birthday falls on the same date and year! We will not forget each other's birthday for sure.


Happy Birthday!!!

Vote for my friend's film if u like it.

http://www.canon.com.sg/dvfest/vote/bestfilm/film13.html

Kinda like the film. just that due to web streaming and the resolution is compromised else I believe that it would be nice to watch it in full screen in high res. u guys can watch it and do vote if u like it. thanks!

what a SURPRISE! received my 2nd bd present!!!

Was caught in surprise by my best friend, Fanni and her bf. I was watching my fave drama serial on channel 8, suddenly received a call from her asking for my sis. (weird) then heard a knock on my door, opened the door and I saw her. haha. Thanks for the surprise. She gave me a nice bag(gd for CNY, as what she proposed, a Victoria Secret's underwear, a mini chalkboard, a luxurious candle and not forgetting her nice packaging. haha. felt kinda bad that I didn't have time to shop for her present. I was packed with my work probs and stuff... nvm.. shall find some nice present for her for x'mas! thanks, Mitch for sending her and dropping by my place. :) u will have nice x'mas present as well! (I hope, I won't be broke then...keke)

I am left with the 25 questions questionnaire and I am done for my research survey essay!!! Minmin has finished hers already. I am really amazed by her high efficiency at our schoolwork man! gonna rush my essay before my birthday entertainment starts tommorrow night after work. haha. ciaoz!

i feel so sleepy....

im doing my essay now. procastinating....

limitations:
1) not more than 3 pages
2) not more than 2500 words
3) too much to write

really summarising it to the max already. haha. i was thinking whether i will encounter any surprises this year. hopefully not the flowers which i hated most, i will remember this incident for life. my 'presumed' best friend told a guy that i like blue roses (DUH!) and the delivery guy came knocking on my door early in the morning (i was 'recovering' from my first breakup then). initially, i thought was my bf but turns out to be a guy who has been admiring me for sometime. he is a great company but can't bring myself to accept him when i have not even get over one.

one of my close friend is pushing me to find a job asap. i know i need a job to pay my school fees but i seemed to be troubled over my work. i have no idea what is going on within myself. i have been emailing resume all over the place, no replies. i felt kinda dejected. just feel like escaping from work and just study, be a student! haha. but can't live without money. what a world i am in now. what a life.

don't know how to break the news to my staff that i will be leaving at the end of the month, i do not want to affect their morales. i kept joking with them, if they do not behave, i will leave them and they do improve day by day which made me even more upset to leave them. i have my own career interest and given the hours i am working now. i am not able to give my best shot at studies as well. crazy life! next year will be a better year! feel like listening to the songs he sang.. nah...back to my essay....

received my first birthday wish...

Kinda surprised... for the past 5 years, not a single birthday wish from him (don think he actually bother to remember though) but he did for this year and was the earliest. Thanks, Eugene. Appreciated it. Perhaps due to the friendster birthday reminder, thats why he remembered. haha.

heard some sad stuff from one of my close frds, come to think of her brave front and strong character, one still can't win over the hands of fate. from the first time we met till now, all along I can see that she is always in happiness but still I felt somehow deep inside her heart, there's a spot that she would feel down. things that she said, makes me really ponder how would I react if I were to be in her situation. perhaps being single is a bliss, for what I know for now. throughout the whole year, I may have male friends out there for me but I feel I am not prepared to start a relationship. Initially, I was thinking rather sad to be alone but being in a relationship, I hate quarreling and stuff. I just want a peaceful relationship which I can spend quality time with this special person. sad to say, the guys whom I have come across, they do not feel the same way as I do. Communication and simplicity are the essence to a relationship. Although, I did have a 'peaceful' relationship of 4 years but I am always the one who cheers my guy on but he let me down in the end by being irresponsible at work. To some, this may not be related to our relationship but it shows a person's responsibility towards commitment. I do think a lot, which may not be healthy as well. I will try not to in future. :)



My dinner! Nice huh... got to continue with my essay! ta!

sorry to my blog readers..

hi everyone, especially to Mr T****, my blog has been UPDATED.. have been dozing off while typing my blog recently. guess I am too tired.. haha. tell u guys something, I have thrown my essay question paper accidentally with my presentation papers after last presentation. haha. thanks to SUNNY for saving me from the rubbish bin monster which ate my paper! got to rush my essay for submission on 19 december. will update some images for u guys.. as the saying goes, a painting(picture, in this case) says a thousand words. tata!

efforts & commitment > appreciation

how fast time flies. i have graduated from my polytechnic education unknowingly for more than 3 years. having to work for 3 1/4 years, only @ this point, I realised that my presence is not being appreciated. contributions and efforts put in are being taken for granted. I do not expect any form of appreciation as in remuneration but at least care and concern.

I guess this is happening at most of the companies in sg. sad to say but I can understand. which company can go that extend to show care and concern during the notice period? I believe that they should be professional to do that. my friend's company does. she works for one of the major telco company in sg. imagine the size of her company and mine. haha.

my birthday is approaching again. no bf again. i think no form of celebration will apply as well. sometimes working at orchard can be stressful, seeing couples walking along orchard road's xmas lights and looking at the lights made me feel so lonely at heart. A lonely xmas and birthday again...
