sad to say, i feel like i have only colleagues made at cv and none of any friends.
unlike sls. but that is just pure luck. cv is reality- that is the way it is. if I don't stand up for myself, no one else will. that's why i will always reply an email that marks me down unreasonably. even if it comes from a manager. if it comes from a manager, all the more i need to i need to correct their fallacies.
it is an eye opener to hear the finance mgr scream n scold like a old female chinese teacher. tragic.
anyway... my luck or fate or life, is not bad. been sent to bkk for 9 days of training due to the merger. the integration period is an eye opening experience. using 2 laptops. learning new processess. and speaking a different lingo. the new ppl i met and remembered are quite cool. they are the big shots like GMs and managers of other countries... maybe i will leave good impression such that they will ask for me to do an internal transfer. WOO HOOOO.
but still, no one's job is secured untill you get a letter of appointment. I THINK. i might not need to tender. i may be retrenched.
may be up . may be down. but it is how you make the best out of it that matters.

excited/enchanted
my fave new song from taylor swift: enchanted. a sweet simple song that probably can never never never go out of style unless BGR goes out of syle.
i am excited. i am off to bkk for company's training for next 9 days! off to meet folks from other countries that i also seen in email & nvr gave a second thought abt their real persons. off to trian and i hope nobody ask me qtns so that i can keep my mouth shut & avoid career sucidal moves.
don't ask me why it's bkk AGAIN- i just have this lovely enchanted fate with bkk, i guess. I had stop wondering why do i get so many signs of bkk in year 2011. (even the nearest meeting room to me, literately behind me, is named BKK). But if this should be the last time! hurhurhur.
my priority is to enjoy every minute of it (what training??!! I will most prob be people watching and daydreaming if I can get away from it). super warped, huh. but guess what I DONT CARE. woo hoooooooo. (unless i am threatened with immediate resignation. ok, then i care.)
The sq flight is at 4pm ; we will have a hotel room to each of us. Sounds like with the merger, the budget for such training is pretty big.
nonetheless, i am still sending out resumes at this time. how long has it been since i declared i wanna quit? since last nov? lol. its been abt 6 months then & i get nought reactions from the resumes that i sent (maybe 10 of them).
i believe in my instincts & i dont have a strong instinct that asking me to stay. BUT just one that is asking me stay , wait and see. & that's what i am going to do. wait&see. & clinging to strands of hope.

what next?
i am glad i went to korea... i came back mesmerized with its pop culture. & now, i am like some teenager nursing a teenage crush on 東方神起. "Keep Your Head Down" totally converted me into a fan. i am looping Keep Your Head Down since ... many hours ago. this 2 menber version of the group aint too bad!
& What happens when we lost GY as a minister? Who will replace him...?
First day going to work at MBC tomorrow! The mechanical action of going to
work , definitely qualifies as going to work for the first time. from my seat i have an unblocked view of the roads, building and sea view. That's a perk! But... i have a pay a price for it, cause my country head sits behind me!

things to remind myself
#1- bosses are humans only. & they suck as much as I do. specifically- their time mgt. #2- smile and act friendly at those above mentioned human beings even those i despise them as bosses. They are great human beings! But I think they can be much better bosses. #3- bosses are humans only. & they practise favouritism. I pity the one whom she did not favour. She told me what a bad grade she got... i REALLY feel for her. I hope she will bounce back and be a better person. OK i am done dissing them! Do i have any happy news? BF agreed to go for a R&R holiday with me! HAHA! any holiday is always good news (maybe except the one with bosses). No more shopping but wanna do massage and staring at the calm seas (no tsunamis, please). Sometime in MAY. maybe a resort in Cambodia. My portfolio expanded and I am gonna treat this as good news, cause it helps when i am updating my resume. :DDDDDD

mid-twenties crisis
i used to think i handle stress quite well- i simply blocked them out and refuse to admit that they exist. what stress??? I dont feel stressed even tho my face is having breakouts! I do it so well, that people think i am always happy. and ask me why am i always happy. cause i think happiness is a choice. one simply choose to be happy. there is no reason not to make this choice! now i am stressed with my work, cause i always feel i cant finish things on time. i have to deal with a egotistical sales manager who i dont respect. i am working 12 hrs a day and i dont like it and resent it to the max. i certainly dont feel happy n i try not to let it show excessively. then, what next? I have a boyfriend who always suggest breaking up when we run into unhappy situations. its already the ... 3rd or 4th time. I am so tempted to say YES LETS BREAK UP. FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE!! Thanks for suggesting this, at a time when I am already so super vexed with things in life. Thanks for making it worse! I AM SO SUPER FED UP as it is and i still have to work , look for a new jobs and deal with a 31 year old's childish tantrums? And what is the root of all this evil?? Seriously, why do i still want to work? What do I work for? i am having a mid-twenties crisis. Why am i at the prime of my life & yet I have so much resentment & unhappiness deep inside me? One thing has to go & i already know what is that; i just duno when will it happen!!!!!!

thoughts...
I will miss bangkok even before i reach and leave there cause i am nvr paying for my way there within the next 2 years. So... I will miss BKK.
I am surprised that my vendors has become such good friends with me that they get me (and only me) souveniers from their overseas trip. I do think its cause I treat them with sincerity and respect.
My colleagues says my pattern is so easy to guess.... not a compliment but that is just me. someone who duno how to pretend; who is simple minded and duno how to scheme to save her skin.
Today, we were having a group discussion near my table... and when i thought the focus isnt on me, that i can just apply some lip balm without any noticing & I was promptly proven wrong. My mgr just have to asked A : "What are you looking at?"
"he is looking at Eve applying her lipstick"replied the sales manager. And I spurned around from the tiny mirror on my desk and caught his eye & just felt like this has got to be the most ridiculous conversation abt me! & we broke into laughter because underneath it all, we must pitying A for being single for so long with out a girlfriend that he can get distracted with someone who is applying lipstick with her back facing him. & I felt embarrassed that someone was staring at me!
I wish A luck in finding his True Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
& lastly, maybe i will dream of U 2.

phd colleague
it is really a honour with to be colleagues with such brainy people, i feel in awe & have quite a lot of repect for him. I was just musing to him, will China one day take over the world, the way US is... will China be THE superpower & even replace US as THE superpower?
No. China will nvr take over the world, the way US does, he said. So why why? He gave such a good example. China will nvr take over the world cause it simply isnt in the genes! They are possibly the smartest people who invented the wheel, created chinese langauge, produced gun powder, which was only ultilized as fireworks, untill the ang moh transformed it into proper gun powder. Chinese has travelled to the different continents, but they live there as immigrants n hardly as coloniel masters of the land!!!
Such is the teaching of Confucious and other great philosophers who believe in benevolence & buddhism, taosim. Not that I have the true meaning of buddishm n taoism, not that I ever studied that but i duno... thats how i make sense of it. ChineSe people are just born to benevolent and peace loving! I mean, not like Chinese people created gas chambers or genocides????
it was fun talking to him.
& I finally had my long awaited appraisal. I had honestly told my boss that i have intention to leave simply because i do not want work in maple city. I superduper hope with all my heart that i will receive a call next week. But anyway... with or without good news, the manager will still email n update me. That's a sensible gesture which unfortunately isnt done by most hr personnel. heh.
i have to say i am very impressed by CV's regular printer. The amt of commitment n service level really earns him a thumb up. So that how u can afford to charge a premium for a mass , non differenciate product. SERVICE! Deliverying color proof at 10pm to clients' place is a regular trip that he makes. Helping clients complete super short timeline is a help he will offer. I'd like to think of him as a friend, cause he gives me good advice. Sometimes, i think our conversations are funny because we always want to clarify what capacity are we speaking in? Is it the professional business-client relationship or just plain friendship?
Anyway i am not sure if i wanna be so committed to work as he is. Till now, I still think work isnt life. life is more than work... n i dont wanna work so hard.
So i have to find a job whereby it isnt work to me. It is just part of my life. A necessary part which I will look forward n cant live without.
Maybe my supplier found it.
And if there is good supplier, there is bound to be bad supplier. Or maybe suppliers which i just cant clique. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. it took me 5 sms, asking for the same thing & yet I still couldnt have my answer! So whats wrong with me OR her????
Finally went thru my appraisal & i've got a 10 percent increment, due to the expanded job scope! whoo-hooooo!! Its the second time that I've got a 10 percent increment. i am lucky cause i am always landed in company who believes in the potential that i have and wants to nurture. Thank you.

Love my self & Like others
i love myself enough not to force myself to do things that bring me no joy! I guess this is very typical of gen Y... n guess what I AM A GEN Y.
Went to jovis's one year old birthday bash!!
Here are the 3 friends from sec sch whom i know whom turned up.... ooops, one of which is moi. Nothing changed, except we dont wear spectacles where possible & i put makeup where possible.
Went to jovis's one year old birthday bash!!
Here are the 3 friends from sec sch whom i know whom turned up.... ooops, one of which is moi. Nothing changed, except we dont wear spectacles where possible & i put makeup where possible.Alysa says she is going to europe at the end of the year! I am definitely jealous and envious and will be planning a shopping list for her to see if she can help buy some lust items. HAH.
Best friends forever! & no... none of us wanna count the years we had been friends.
I like 黄丽玲's songs (some anyway). Powerful, emotive & catchy- I am humming it always non-stop & look forward to K-ing her songs!
I like the k-drama Prosecutor Princess. I only watch 4 episodes but typically i bet, in essence, it will be how the rich, spoilt female leads who always screws up as a prosecutor rise from the ashes and become a good Prosecutor in the end. (not that I read the show's synopsis).Throw in 2 dashing male leads & you have a addictive love triangle to speculate. So i end up wondering, why do 2 such perfect guys end up fighting over 1 not-so-perfect spoilt rich lady whose biggest fear in life is that her daddy will burn away her entire walk-in closet.
Sigh. You can blame the rest of the mere female mortals for dreaminsg abt perfect prince charming.
Not that prince charming exists.
I admire my another colleague who is single and self-declared looking out and putting her words into action. i think its takes so much guts and bravery just to voice out the fact that, yes, I NEED A MAN IN MY LIFE! She deserves to be rewarded just for the fact that she is brave enought to say that out loud in a non whining manner!

i know what i want
i know what i want...
hence i am not satisfied , contented nor happy.
i wonder what will happen within the next 4 weeks. i wonder if i will suffer instantanous combustion or explosion. cause i have to say, it get just a tiny bit unbearable with each passing day. i am nearing my limit. i cant wait for the day when i can just throw the letter officially wash my hands outta this.
today they were talking abt gen y people n their tendecies to job hop after a year or two. eyes turned to stare at me & it gets a bit awkard. hurhur.
i envy my ex-colleague who made yet another company switch, earning much much more, in his words.

korea's winter
winter in 2011 was especially freezzzing... it was minus ten. The tour guide told us that its the first time that the HAN JIANG had frozen so badly.
my favourite pic was this candid photo which costs us five USD. FIVE USD. very overpriced. but we bought it still to support the kid who took the photo.
so yup. we managed to see snow, have snow fight and made snow man. & be supremely cold during the 7 days there.
but it is just fun. I nvr had a holiday which wasnt fun. hurhurhurhurhuhruhrhurrr.

alex got us presents from the states and i am so jealous and envious that he managed to spend some time the states being a student and a holiday maker. I wanna go toooooooooo.
i need a pay raise. i need a new job more.
anyway, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
life is good. even tho i look tired, suffers from stress induced acne and headache and shop too much bacause i subconsciously undergo retail therapy.
anyway i think i know what the cause of the above; so i have a direction. I just hope I have the time and opportunity.

impatience
I am tired of coordinating work. Tired of being just a coordinator when I used to be in a brand exec position. When can I move up again?
They asked me how do I see myself in the next 12 months. Gawd, I think I am gonna tell them that I cant see myself there beyond the next 3 months.
I am impatient. I wanna go back to FMCG.
My colleagues bought balloons for me as birthday presents. Truly a surprise. My first thought was that they had attached the balloons at the wrong person's desk. How cyncial. I ought to be nicer to one of colleagues who bought the balloon for me. hahahahah. I am super cynical of him & he deserves more credit & brownie points after this kind gesture.
Oh well... overall, my colleagues are really nice cool ppl.
The mktg dpt is planning a 3d2n escapade. I hope we'll be able to pull it off (while i am still officially with them).

we r all lucky
come think of it... we are all lucky if
- if we have a job (regardless if you like it or not)
- if we have a healthy, complete normal family & friends(like me.)
- if you are healthy in every sense of the word (like me.)
Have I been complaining? Suddenly, I duno what I should complain abt. I could have it so much so much more worse. Am pausing for a while to give thanks for all I have.
OK.
A while has paused.
Guess I will get back to the cycle of ranting & complaining just to vent.

The last few days of 2010
I'd never thought abt how long my blog will last... now I would say, not for long. But I duno when I'll stop. I rather live with one less dateline.
The last few week of Dec 2010, went to Tampines/Century Sq... so I decided to try to Freshness Burger, franchised from Japan. Not that I notice Freshness Burger during my few days in Japan... I remember seeing MOS but not Freshness.
It turned out to be MOS BURGER at premium price. Probably they will justify it by serving us in a restaurant setting with nice, chillout atmostphere and flowers on the table.
I ordered Teriyaki Chicken burger. Which doesnt taste that different from MOS!
This is BACON & EGG Hamburger... which my BF said was delish.
I love onions! So we ordered onion rings (from HOKKAIDO) as stated on the menu. Is onions from HOKKAIDO different? Yes, I guess. It taste different from those speed-fry onions rings in BK. I can taste freshness in this :D

On New Year's Eve... bolted out from office the moment I can... to catch up with the firewire pals (who didnt have prior engagement) hurhr.
We had Indian Food! Muthu's Curry refused to top up our bowl of PAPADAM despite us asking & them agreeing TWICE. How's that for unfulfillment?
I know my face is rounder significantly! Thanks to the five kg I gain at CV. I attribute to the more sedentry lifestyle I have now. Sigh. My goal is to exercise more from now; losing weight is a mere by-product which I need.
We , kelly & me; especially me, ranted and poured out of resentment towards our work to our 2 listeners. I mean... it is not that I dun recognise that I am a great place whereby I have loads to learn. Maybe cause I feel I dont really belong; not like the way I did at SLS.

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.

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.

I finally realize the topshop makeup is in SG and i bought a couple of stuff to try! Retail therapy yet again.

after event drinking session
The after-event drinking session was more fun than I thought. I guess the few drinks loosen me up & i laugh more easily and more loudly than I would have in normal circumstances. Still it was business more than anything.
Oh yes, I think I did flirted mildly since he started first, at least in my opinion, & on hind sight I think it's been a long time since I did that cause... there simply wast any eligible male from the last time till now. Lucky my boss wasnt around. hurhurhur.
14th nov is the last day. Hope we can end it with a nice last note. And yet I had never been more aware of Murphy's Law.
another month to BKK! I wonder will my thai friend keep his word & bring me around & show his hosptality. I guess if he doesnt, it prob means I was mistaken when I thought he was a friend for keeps. :S
I want to go shopping!!
I need to lose weight!!!!!!!!!! I mean the sole reason is not because I am overweight but I really wanna fit into my old clothes!

urban decay portion
i like the packaging... so i had a photo as a keepsake:)
been wanting to try the urban decay eyeshadow portion since i know of this cult favourite!
been wanting to try the urban decay eyeshadow portion since i know of this cult favourite!
the fact that it comes with travel size mascara, lip gloss and lip stick sealed the deal for me. I am such a sucker for travel size products/samples.
there is just this thing abt traveling & me. some people see traveling as a waste of money cause they just wanna things that are tangible to them. but i wanna see the world for myself more than anything!
