bitching/ranting me

Before I rant, its time to give thanks first.

It's nice to see strangers in bangkok who are concern & care for tourists like me n my friend. The tuk-tuk drive told us to hug and hold onto our bags for dear life cause he knows motorists can just snatch our bag if we don't do so. He told us all this despite our obvious language gap cause he cant master a english word besides " bag".

How nice of him!

We were lost ... not sure how to get back to hotel cause things looks different in the dark. heh. I wanted to cut across the pratunam market cause it would be a straight line distance, but pratunam market isnt made up of straight forward grids, apparently. Hence it is nice that an Auntie asked us where do we wanna go & ask us to just take the long route which is easier courtesy of the fact that it would be at least brighter. heh.

i wanted to go Chinatown & we were just asking around this chinese couple running a TCM shop what is the best way to go. Beyond giving us directions, they wrote CHINATOWN in thai so that we can show it the tuktuk driver in case he doesnt know. And also told us that chinatown is the place for buying gold & is full of good food in terms of places for dinner.

I couldnt finish the seseme balls-snack that I bought so I decided to pass it to the tuk tuk driver who gave us a good price to go chinatown. It is nice to see him really being happy abt it. I thought its nice tht he didnt reject my "leftovers". Sigh... things that different living environment do to you.



ok... what do I wanna rant abt? just abt my work. don't like her top-down; i-know-it-all , loud attitude. dont like her saying "what??!! the supplier is going on leave AGAIN? you should stress her more!! HAHAHA!"like it's such a funny joke. gawd. I nvr get the fact she is joking cause she sound so serious. she sound like her hobby is making suppliers miserable. AND THAT IS NOT ME.

also, why should i chase for ans when people dont even read email??? why do I want to make my job harder when people cant be bothered to do their part of job??? most importantly, why do i want to do more when people are trying so damm hard to do as little as possible?

what is the point of doing a sales forecast when you cant keep to that? felt damm good questioning this to the head of sales. heck. pls do your job well and so that stock level isnt a worry or a "concern"or a ïssue".

some1 left again and he told me that HR didnt handle his leaving in a positive way. gosh. this is the 2nd time I am told that HR creating bad PR for ourselves. Apparently HR raised their voice at him. tsk tsk tsk. Our HR cant even maintain their professionalism to talk over things in a cool calm way. How tragic.

i got a gentle warning (delivered in a LOUD voice) that i cant wear knee length pants. ON A FRIDAY. i wanna curse & swear! it's friday! i really wanna check which part of our employee handbook says we cant wear knee length pants to work on Friday. It makes me miss my ex-place EVEN more.

to think she asked "who wouldnt mind sharing a room with me".... erm, i hate to tell her, i literately do not know who.

My colleague could tell that I am different from the first few months I came in. HAHAHAHHA. How true. I am beyond giving them "face". I am showing my true chili padi colors! Which my professional mktg mgr already observed that in me months ago.

Suddenly, I pity my mgr. And I feel that my mgr simply have too much to do; she doesnt have time for the itsy-bitsy stuff. She has things she cant complete. She misses out (almost) on families' birthday. But at the end of the day I think she still like her job.

Cant say that for myself though. I am just thinking I will tender the moment the bonus is bank into my account. 3 months away.

life's a blue. almost

Polaroids are very popular. You can see them almost at every event. & maybe the most beautiful thing is that Polariods are capable of emcompassing details.

At Nandos... love the freee meal & the cute chicken mascot.

At my D&D whereby I won a PSP & dont really know what is the best way to deal with it. I wanna sell it away.... but dunno to who.


At my first event at CIBA VISION, before I gain any weight and was at my photogenic best... ;C
So... it's time to declare I am too stressed at where I am & I want OUT! out of the sense of duty & resposibility and looking at the numerous tracking. I wan my skinny self back. & I still cant fit into my old stuff even tho i try to climb as many stairs as I can. Sigh.
on a happier note... I finally realize the topshop makeup is in SG and i bought a couple of stuff to try! Retail therapy yet again.

harlow blog. it feels like a long time since i was here.

aug- hong kong. with girl friends this time! confirmed!
dec- penang with BF. or somewhere short & cheap. :D not sure if he will be stationed overseas, but i already have a plan if he does get stationed overseas. i will just meet him somewhere near him but outside of Sg during some... convenient time. hohohohoo.

4 trips in a year. that's just ideal!

2 more weeks to bkk. I wanna go to the sunflower festival thingy for who says bkk is only abt shopping & eating & also because the festival coincides with our days there- just nice!? wish me luck that I will find my way there. anyway, anything is possible as long as i have baht? lol.
