Business Trip

I can't wait for my business trip to take off in October! Although I will miss home, but i'll take it as a holiday for myself, during work. :D

I need some time to search for some fun places to visit during my stay once my accomodation is confirmed ! <3

TRAVEL!

I told baby that I've got One good and One bad news. He chose to hear the bad one first; That is, he's gonna stay in Singapore alone............................

And he sprung up asking, where are you going?
I told him: SHANG HAI !!!

And in fact, he's so happy for me - as much as I am!!! Just as I needed a holiday, and when i'm so broke to do so ~~~ *happys*

This time, to Shanghai... ALONE ........ FOR THREE WEEKS !! I'm gonna stay there over the weekends and so on. And Baby is so so glad for me :D So ... I was telling him that he could come over and bunk in during one of the weekends and we can go gai gai !! hehehee........

I'm so so excited !!
But ... I'm starting to miss my little ones. :(
It's okay, i'm so gonna find some stuff over there and bring it all back for them !! :D

Yea, three weeks, 08 Oct - 26 Oct 2012.
Who wanna bunk in with me for another weekend?

Not My Week.

This week is so totally not mine.
Work screwed up a big time and I feel like hiding at home.
It sucks.



I miss the boys.
So wanna hug them tight right now.

Work.

Sometimes we are so constrained that everything we do, make us feel so miserable. I think once in a while, people undergo such stage. Sigh... But what to do? I think this is life ..... Sometimes it's not for us to choose.

And to be frank, afterall, we are here just for a job, for a pay, for money to feed ourselves. We don't bear grudges. Even if one make mistakes. Change, and learn.

"I DON'T KNOW"

Alrights, I admit my mistake in overlooking the calendar. But I am aware that the whole team knows that I'm going on leave this Thursday and Friday I'm sure. And I seriously don't know WHY I didn't update the calendar and I can only conclude that I over look it.

We, humans make mistake.
Please don't come pointing finger at us saying that we are not responsible. Seriously, if I am not responsible, I won't even feel guilty and apologize at all! Why can't you have some understanding and just leave nasty words aside? It hurts you know?

And I already suggest since it's my mistake, I shall cover the morning's work load and make sure things go alright but you rejected my request and say I'm irresponsible! How can that be? Am I doing not right ? And  there you are trying to tell me that I shouldn't be working because I am on leave? WHAT THE HECK ???

I'm trying to come up with a solution for you to cover my mistakes and you bluntly rejected them AND calling me irresponsible. Then what else you want me to do now? Cancel my leave? AND, what are you doing to make IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE being MORE RESPONSIBLE? Fancy calling someone who look up to you so much irresonsible? God gracious !

Shitty morning, I'm starting to hate this work here!

Birthday / Jamie & Serene

Happy Birthday to them.

Yup, from my camera! :)

I'M ON DIET!! REMEMBER???
I only took a bite off the cake cox today is suppose to be my liquid diet day. Yes, liquid diet. But they're order MCDELIVERY for lunch. =.= I wanna die..... I thought i'm on halfday and they'll count me out but NO! They're gonna order at 10.30am.

OH NO ...... I'm gonna gulp a burger down!!
-sigh-

Dear Diary

I've been a lil' stressed up lately during work. Things don't seem to be as smooth sailing as the past months. I'm a little buffled, i'm a little tired. Everyday is wearing me out so much that I didn't get good sleep like how I use to .........

I need money.... badly.
Cos there are so many things I wanna do..

Niki hasn't been a good boy lately. Was it because I'm not draining enough energy of him? I admit I've not been a good mum to them cause I've been doing so little. I haven't even shower them this week! I know.... Niki didn't feel really clean and I kept scold him for lick his paws.

Its been a month since I last bring them out nicely.
I'm so guilty, but i'm so tired...

Working Attitude

I hate that thing.
We are all paid, and you are higher.
But why is it that that efforts coming from you are so minimal?

I thought by leaving for awhile will make you 'wake up' a little and put in more effort BUT NO. I was so wrong. But I didn't regret my decision. This only makes you look uglier. I really need to voice this out seriously... I can't be hanging here like that and making my life so miserable.

Well, back to work.
I'm so angry!!!

Responsibility.

We are suppose to help each other, backing up and clearing out work stuff for one another especially when our partners are on leave or not around. And I'm a little upset that you left all the work that's suppose to be done yesterday, to me for today.

Where is the responsibility?
I can understand that you no longer have the heart to continue working in here, but hey, you're still getting paid to work right now, so shoudnt you just do your part? I don't expect you to go an extra mile to clear everything, but those that needed to be done, has to be done right?

Many a times, she asked me if you have been helping out in my area and I covered you up by saying you did. But you know it yourself, what have you been doing? As a friend, I would love to see you doing well and better than this, but as a colleague, its a little unfair to me I feel. I could have just be frank and tell her that you didn't, but I didn't. I'm not those backstabbing sort. I'm not those political sort. But can you please don't take advantage of me? It sucks.

Imagine you are going off for a holiday meanwhile worrying about work piling up and your back up is not responsible, it's not fair!

Sighs... I can only keep quiet and finish it off right now.
What else can I say?

Business Trip: BANGKOK!!

My flight is BOOKED!!

YES!!

I will be attending a training session at Bangkok on 25th, 26th and 27th April, so i'll be flying off on 24th Evening!

AND....... I've told baby about this so HE IS JOINING ME!! Because we have decided to extend my stay there through the weekends!! hehe......... I'm so excited! And I have started sourcing for hotels etc again!

I have checked the air tickets, and I decided to fly baby on a SQ because its only a hundred bucks different compared to Jetstar. And, they have more flight schedules too. He will reach bangkok around 5.30pm (if his flight is on time) and we will meet at our hotel OR I can fetch him at the airport!

I haven't got my Training details yet so I'm not sure what time I can go off~ But my boss is catching the 6pm flight, she'll be going off at around 3pm. Lucky her. I told her I'll stay behind and finish the training, and keep her posted on stuff she missed out. I very hardworking hor!

Travelling means I will get extra allowance, so I can splurge a little! *grins* I'm lucky this two months :)

Meeting !

I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF TODAY!

Yes I had a long meeting with my market people today, customer through the phone! And this is the first time I'm handling my meeting alone !! And I'M SO HAPPY!!

I feel like I've travelled to Indonesia all alone and back!!! Just like my previous trip, and brought some sense of achievements back! OKAY i'm exexaggerating this whole thing ... BUT I DONT CARE!! I'm so proud and happy now !! HEHEHE... !!!

So, what happen was I felt in total control. Knowledge is so important that it feeds one with ample courage and confident when speaking, and there, the teaching and sharing comes into place. I felt like a leader!

And so, that marks another step to my business trip next month. Yes, boss have informed me that we might be travelling a week to Indonesia Jarkarta again (maybe with some customer's visit as well etc..) And that meeting will be a more important one there. And I believe if this one whole month I am not up till their standard, I'll be screwed dead when i'm there.

So, please bless me this two months!!
JIA YOU !! :D

Rants... about Work!

My wrong: Not informing you that there is an error in the order and it wasn't delivered to you even though Order was processed on 31st January. Reason being; I'm not aware that this is a local part and I am not suppose to do anything!


Your wrong: After 2 months, you didn't notice that this order wasn't delivered? You didn't follow that up! AND... I don't even know this wasn't part of my job scope! I just processed as per your request... And you didn't check your work! This is part of your job, not mine.


Conclusion:
After finding the fault in this order, you turn back and tell me "Next time please inform us earlier since this order was created on 31st Jan, and you now (13 March) inform us that there is an error"... when I didn't even know that it's not suppose to be process that way.


Funny people.
So I replied:

"Noted on my end.
Actually this order is weird because order looks normal – have PO and PR and have price, but was not sent out. I apologize on my neglect because I did not overcome this before. Actually Part does not exist in TSAB and DCA.

I will do more follow up closely in future

Please also note that I will cancel this order."

Tsk tsk tsk... And I still dont think that i'm in the wrong lo.

ANNUAL LEAVE

Everyone was called into our Manager's office just now.

"As there are many changes in the department right now, I will always hope full force is available during office hours. Therefore, please take note when you are applying for annual leave. Don't let your annual leave affect your work, or your colleague's work load.

Everyone have to prioritise your annual leave, and ask yourself do you really need to take this leave? Or you are just trying to clear your leaves? If you're just trying to clear your leave, then my advice to you is to hold it first....

And I know some of you already left very minimal days of leave left and its only March. Please save some in case you do not have enough for the year."

We are like ... WHAT??!! Take leave also cannot?? Sigh.... For people who have 34 days leave like my colleague, that can take a day's off from a 5 day work week almost everyweek (we have not add in Off-in-Lieu), she's trying to ask him to hold his leave clearing? And the funny thing is, we can only bring forward 10 days, and usually mid year and year end there're alot of business travellings... HOW??

Well... I do not have such problem yet.
So, just something to think about. :)

FINALLY ...

7 more hours to go, i'm counting down close!



Reluctant To Work......

........ because its baby's off day TODAY!!

I know I know.. And so I was late and missed my bus today. I really believe that the mind is very important.

But anyway, to be fair.. Work is not that bad afterall.
Yesterday noon was good afterall.. But because there are a few things on pending and I'm trying to get it resolved with my counterparts, I stayed back a little longer. Yeah, OT !!

Mum didn't cook, and on a positive note, I get to meet up baby for Dinner at Macs !! YAY* And a very last minute decision was to follow him down to his meeting. ;D Frankly speaking, it didn't bore me at all. Although I was at the computer the whole time playing facebook while they were in the meeting, I didn't feel bored at all.

I like it when I know that he is working, and busy with stuff. The last thing I wanna know is that I am distrupting their session. But baby say it didn't matter so *phew* !! :D

And through all these, it makes me feel like just nua beside baby this whole day today. But too bad, I gotta work. Sigh.......

I WANNNNNNA QUIT !!

No ... just some 气话.
I can never quit now.

Sigh .............
And that's the bad thing about having a female boss.
When she's not in good mood, everyone get it !
Duh ....

My colleagues and I are all so sian today.
We just feel like going home RIGHT NOW!

OKAY!   - i have to be appreciative.
The pay here is good, I got free transport, I have cheap lunch, I get bonuses and stuff, and I end work early. Done!

Bunnies!

SO BORED AT WORK!

Ask this question to my colleagues and they'll say the same thing. They've been complaining on how changes is taking place in our company and whether we'd stay this way for the next 3 years. They have plans to move on. Well, this is life. We adapt to changes.

So ..... we stare blankly into our screens when we don't feel like moving. YES, and we tell each other that. L O L. That's what we call, TEAM WORK.

And I was so bored (not because i'm lazy) because there is no emails and no work for me this very day. So I spent my time reading on blogs, and saw this SUPER CUTE bunny on Xia Xue's blog. She actually bought one home! <3

So, this was how I entertained myself today.

Tired Of Working.

When you feel like you're dragging yourself to work, something is very wrong.

And this something is bothering me this few days. It seems like I have been rather aimlessly doing my stuff and there is not much motivation to carry me on. The problems keep repeating itself and I can do nothing but to resolve them again and again. Why am I blamed when the things passed down to me is already a rotten one?

I can't help but feel sorry for myself until a point when I just don't feel like moving anymore. Starring at the screen became so often, that I have to rush my work through when datelines draws near.

I am restless this few days.
Work made me so worn out.

I Need A Break.

Busy Week !

I'm on duty this week.
Gotta be more alert.
God bless me.

-with loads of love <3

Standby Duty

I am starting my Standby Duty in one month's time and I am not prepared at all !

Standby Duty meaning, after office hours when a machine breaks down in countries among the South East Asia, we will have to arrange for repair immediately, to have the whatever part  that is broken down shipped to destination within the shortest time.

This is a 24-hour service provided by my company and we, the team of 7 mates, have to rotate our duties to serve our customer. Therefore, ...... Yes we'll have extra allowance, but understanding from all my colleagues that usually they will just stay at home in case there is any activation, and is usually stressed.

And the duty lasts for 7 days.
So for that one whole week, its best to stay at home.
I am looking forward, because of the allowance.
