Bowling Event

Had our company's bowling event today for the 4 depts. I had loads of fun!! First, we had dinner at East Coast Hawaiian BBQ. The food was quite good and we had some red wine and beer. I had 2 glasses and was far from being high but yet, people started saying that I was high which was total crap. I mean, I know my limit and 2 glasses ain't even getting anywhere. Was really pissed off when I heard that but nobody wanted to admit saying that. All I can say is that it's bullshit. I never knew that the VP of another dept was actually really entertaining. He told us jokes about his experience, his own country and stuff like that. He really made the atmosphere at my table a lot more relaxed and fun with his stories. He's really someone with no arrogance and can click with peers and subordinates. This is the kind of people and bosses whom I truly respect. Someone who knows his work and is able to communicate well with no airs. And this doesn't apply to everybody. Anyway, I ...

Mr Fighting

Been busy at work for the past 2 weeks. This week is also included. Very very tired.. My boss has started interviewing people for my position. Finally I can be rid of doing the very admin stuff. YEAH!! Haha. Ya, feeling happy and excited but also wondering when I can start learning more so that I can replace my supervisor to be team leader. I know I'm not up to standard yet but I'll work hard. I really will. Been telling myself that everyday. 1 day my dreams will come true.. Mum's death anniversary came and went. I won't deny the fact that I miss her loads. Teared a bit the night of her anniversary. 16 long years without her.. Sighz.. Wonder if she can see me now. Wonder if she knows how her daughter is and how hard her daughter is trying to prove herself to the family so as not to disappoint her. Wonder if she knows that her daughter has not let her down, that her daughter has graduated from university according to her wish and is working somewhere that she can be prou...

Stubborn Me

Today's not a very good day at work. Colleagues are unhelpful and they simply ignore me when I ask them questions or they just treat me as transparent. I know.. I've always been taken for granted at work. They come to me when they need my help but after that, who am I to them? Sighz.. Another sad part of my life. But I know I'll be strong and I'll do what I can at work. If that's the way they want to be, I don't think I can change them so I'll just have to do things on my own. :) I know I'll succeed in time to come. Today's Jason's birthday. Wished him a happy bday via sms at midnight. He said that I'm the only person who has wished him a happy bday all these years. That's 9 whole years! Haha. I wonder how I do that at times. It bewilders me too. I can never seem to forget his bday nor his house number. That's why I still call him to wish him Happy Bday. I mean, if I remember the date, then why not just do it? :p Called the other comp...

Turn of Events

Been wanting to blog but haven't had the time. Shall make this a quick update. By a turn of events, my boss is no longer transferring to the other dept. Yes, I'm happy about it. But JA wants to leave coz he's been offered a job at another company. I think there's more to come since we all applied at the same time. I'll be going for the interview on Thurs and somehow, I feel torn in between. Made up my mind over the weekend that I'll not leave my current company for a better future. If I get my transfer, I'll be learning something useful if I intend to stay in this industry. By going to the other company, I won't be learning much coz it's more or less the same as what I'm currently doing. I know, I'm fickle.. But to advance further in future, the wiser choice will be to stay on and fight it out. Pay wise, what I'm getting now is definitely below market and cannot be compared to outside but who knows what might happen 2 years down the road....
