Suddenly, I just feel like MIA-ing for a period of time...

I felt lost... Once again, my sense of direction was gone... I don't know what's right and what's wrong...

I hated things to go this way. I can't help. No way... Haiz...

Maybe MIA-ing for a while would be fine... ...

I love my bosses & colleagues.

Haha! Sorry if I had made anyone confused. I love them as a family. Not those relationship. My relationship lover only got one and only which is my Darling.

I was taken aback and wasn't prepared for any birthday celebrations at office. I thought there will be none as my actual day falls on Sunday and I had taken leave earlier on 16th & 17th Apr.

But they prove me wrong. They had actually bring forward the celebration for me. My bosses actually wanted to take me out for lunch that day but I got another appointment so I 'flew' their kite. Ooops! I'm very naughty right? Luckily they are very understanding bosses. And during lunch time, they got a cake for me.

It's a yummy tiramisu from Bake Inc.

They even sang birthday song for me. I'm now filled with their wishes. :-)

Thank you very much to all my bosses & colleagues for celebrating my birthday in advance. :-)

P/S: It's always nice to know that there are someone out there remembers your birthday.

I took my April's unpaid leave today but it wasn't a worthwhile one. Coz I fell ill.

I guess it's due to the rain on Sunday. I went to Bright Hill & Yishun for prayers to my ancestors. On the way back at Yishun, there's a heavy downpour. So I got caught in the rain. Then upon reaching home, I let my bro and mum to go shower first as I think I can within the drench. Who knows, in the end I'm the only one down with a cold and sore throat.

Haiz... Just went to the doctor. She told me to rest more and drink more water. I hope I can get well by tomorrow and things won't be as what she has predicted. I might get a fever.

Now I'm going for a quick nap before going out with Mum to Jurong Medical Centre for her regular medical appt.

And hopefully tomorrow when I get back to work, I can claim MC and postpone my unpaid leave to be taken on another day. But it will still fall within this month.

I'm so tired of my job recently...

Some times things just always don't end the correct way it should be. I'm so pissed off with everything.

My manager was on leave today. And most of the time he was on leave, there are sure to be hiccups and I got to handle all. Lots of correspondence to do and everything got to be fast, fast, fast. Well, that's the scope of CSE which I don't mind.

I just cannot understand why they love giving me troubles. And usually at the odd hours. Haiz... All so 'coincidence'.

So today, I got the 'ball' again at the eleventh hour. My appointment with Joyce & Peili had almost cancel if I had not insisted. I almost teared again as I can't tolerate it. Then I start to have people in the office telling me that can't get it out and other problems.

Well, basically, different lvls have different powers. In the end when my manager called the respective departments and he manage to get things done. (P/S: And that why we call them managers right? Haha!) My staying back in the company ends up doing the documents for the delivery and all.

Lcukily I managed to rush them out by 6.30pm and got onto the cab at 6.40pm. Reach Plaza Singapura @ 7.30pm. The movie had just started. All thanks to GV's 20min advertisement which save my day.

My babes were also very kind to me. They help me to purchase some snacks - Nacho Cheese & Coke. :-D Especially to Joyce as she has to carry all the heavy items to the cinema for me.

Movie - Confessions of a Shopaholic
I love the movie. Love the way the girl shopped. Haha! How I wish I got the talents in spotting fashionable items and match it nicely. But sad to say, I will end up cashless & big hole in my pocket if I follow her way of buying things.

Personally, this movie is worth watching. Especially for the girls.
By the way, for more details of the movie, can check it out at my Sweetie's Blog. :-)

After the movie, Peili went to meet her friends while Joyce & I went for dinner. As I'm still trying to digest my Nachos Cheese, I only accompany her. She chooses Ajisen for her late dinner. I just took the ala carte side dish - California rolls.

We finished our dinner around 10pm. Try to walk around but shops are closed. So we head to the bus stop and took 106 back. Early night rest for the both of us.

Photos that we took on the way back home...

This year, I seem to be going through quite a number of trainings.

I just completed my 2nd training of the year. The course is called "ESS - Innovation & Enterprise (Supervisory)".

The duration of the course was 4 half days. I think this is good for me as I got time in the afternoon to complete my work. No overtime needed and my colleague won't be too stressful.

The whole module covers on being innovation and creative. Teaching employees how to have their ideas generated and speak up. And be creative and take initiative at work. It's fun throughout as we were told to design some products. I think my group was the best among all. Haha! We know how to attract our attention to our products. Even the other session knew what we have design and the trainer also comment that we can give it a thought in making it for sale. Haha! :-D

4 days past very quickly. I love this course. It's really nice. Just like a breakthrough from work. Training also allows us to mingle more with our colleagues and understand them when we didn't normally.

Now, I have got another additional certificate to add into my resume. :-)

I started to feel restless working...
I understand that lots of companies are under going restructuring and trying their best to cope with the current economy.

But too much off days are bad for us. It makes us restless and now, I'm feeling that working 5 full days a week is tiring.

I had just tried my best to fully utilised my unpaid leave for the 1st quarter of the year.
Now, I received another memo that there will be 6 days of unpaid leave for the 2nd quarter. 2days for each month respectively.

Well, it's planning time. I need to utilise the days properly.

I'm getting too engross with Hello Kitty.

For the past 3 months, I had bought the most number of Kitty items in my life. Weird right? How come it's so sudden that I started buying them?

Well I guess I'm too stress at work and I start to source for something I like. Hello Kitty is one that I kept the interest in my heart and never show it out as most of the time the merchandises are too expensive or the kitty looks fake. Recently, I started to see more and more pretty ones. So I start to collect those feasible items. :-)

This pair of ruler is for my workplace. Hehe! It brightens up my day alot.

As mentioned in the earlier posts, I wanted a stylus to match my NDS Lite. Finally I found it at a shop at Plaza Singapura. Only 1 piece left. :-) I think someone imported it from overseas. It's much cheaper than those selling at Comics Connection. And of course their design is different too. Not too sure about the quality.

There will be more Hello Kitty items to come. :-D

In view of the current trend, my company also send us for training.

The very first training session for the year is Personal Effectiveness (Supervisory).

It is under the Employability Skills System (Workplace Skills Series) which has been emphasized all the while.

The 2 days of training was very fun. There are more practical stuffs as compare to my previous training last year. I don't like stuffs that are very dry. They just simply can't be entered into my mind and I tend to fall asleep while listening to the trainer talking.

Although some of the points in the course - Personal Effectiveness was already made known to ourselves earlier but we had always cast it aside. Now, we are clearer on the points and can also enhance to make things better. Sometimes, we just need people to highlight the importance of things to us.

Now I'm starting think of courses that I wanted to go. But, do my company have any subsidies for it? It's a headache!!! And during this economy, can I request to go for training course subsidies by company???

Good News!

I passed the test which I took last friday.
Hehe! My score was one of the highest in the class. 94% I'm so happy!

Today was another test on the lessons we had on the past 3 days. The past 3 days lessons was more fun then the previous coz there's a practical lesson. It's a game that make us do some calculations and use the statistics to predict. And in this game, my team come out the top. :-)

Each of us got a prize money of $40. Hehe! I'm so happy.

But now I'm starting to worry about the test I did today. It's much more tougher then last friday as there is more calculations and the worst thing is that I don't understand how to use the calculations. Let's pray hard that I'll pass this round. Coz if I passed, it means that I have passed the whole module. :-)

Updated on 9th Dec - I have passed my test. :-D I got 84% this round. Not too bad I guess. Hehe! Now the next thing to worry is the project!!!

I have to go for the Six Sigma Green Belt course.
It will last me 6 days and there are 2 parts.

I had just complete the first part of the course last friday. Although the course was very enriching but it was so tiring for me. As I have to juggle between my work and studies. Especially now it's tougher coz I have do some updating for customer and my internal system. But luckily the course was conducted in the office premises which allows me to shift in and out conveniently and get things done.

The friday was such a stressful day for me as I have to study for test. Everything was still very new to me. I don't even understand after going back and read the textbook again.

Thus basically I took the test with high risk that I will fail coz the passing grade is 75%.
Haiz... all I can do it to pray hard that I can achieve a result with at least 80%.

Guess sooner or later I will die of heart failure while working here?

I was so pissed off yesterday. I can't swallow it. It's my first time that I confronted the people downstairs with such a tone. They are just simply too much.

I can feel my blood pressure went up as high as it could and my face was fuming with red anger. I don't think anyone has seen me in that before. I was actually tensing my nerves n muscles so hard that I was about to tremble.

It's all because of Ms A. I just ask her some question on the delivery date and she went down to tell Ms J which make her call me and ask what I don't agree on.
I don't know how Ms A rely msg. Definately that my intention wasn't bad. I just need some clarification. I'm just a customer service executive serving my customer and not one that suppose get whacked by internal.
Subsequently after Ms J put down the line with me, I call Ms A to ask her some other things but in the end I got told off and she just slammed the phone. She say that 'she's just a scheduler n not a planner'. If next time I got any questions, just look for Ms J.

It's a big joke of the day! Ms J is Ms A's superior. I don't know why they can't co-ordinate. Firstly, if Ms A can answer to my point, it won't turn out this way. Secondly, there's surely some communication problems.

After the hanged up, I try calling back once. But she refused to answer my call. I marched down and confronted her. This is not the attitude to work. I hated people to slam my call. It's a bad habit.

This confrontation created a number of awareness at the operation side. It's good n bad. Good is that at least the people there know that I'm not those that can be trifle with. Bad is that maybe I spoiled other's impression of me.

Haiz... ... This job is driving me crazy sometimes. But there are times that is fun too.

My body is starting to play tricks on me I guess.

Coz poor me don't know when my right eye turn sore yesterday. I only know it during lunch time when everyone start to comment about my red eye. Haiz.

No symptons of itchness or irritation was being felt.

Today, I did not go on medical leave even I start to feel a little discomfort with my right eye as my colleague was on leave and I did not want to spoil her mood. Anyway I'm feeling ok when I woke up. Everything was almost perfect. For precaution purpose, I even put on my specs for work. Coz I just can't fail today.

Luckily everything was smooth sailing for me till sunset.

I stayed in office alone till almost 8pm for overtime. Troubles seems to start. I can't even reach for any cab at the point of time. Even Darling wasn't there to give me support as he was busy. As I was getting frightened, I managed to get one. It was my 3rd try. I was actually shivering after the first 15mins of without any response.

Last night I went for a fabulous dinner. It was one of the nicest dinner I ever had so far.

Suddenly I realised this is the way which one can really pamper themselves with when they have the ability to do so.

How spendthrift one can be if they wanted to.

Now, I'm starting to miss the dishes. How I wish I can have the ability to enjoy this kind of lifestyle once every quarter of the year.

It's a real indulge for me...

How does it feels to be complimented by your own customers?

I can tell everyone of it it's great!
Especially those customers that are hard to be pleased and entertained.

I'm so happy today. My manager actually told me that he received positive reply from my customer with regards to me.

Comments given was that I'm very customer-oriented, friendly and responsible. And best of all, she even comment that I'm better then the previous CSE.

Feeling recognized and acknowledged by your customer was the best of all for all service line pple. Even in situation that your fellow colleagues shun you and always find faults with you, you will still feel better.

:-D Today is a very special day to me. I'm really love my work and with her compliments, I'm not afraid that all my efforts have gone to waste.

As the time goes by, I get to know more and more accusers in my office.
Sometimes I can't stand them. Just feel like slapping them hard in the face. Sorry to be so violent. But it's really pissed off working with them at point of time.

I believe some of them are just influence by the minority. Coz they mix with those black sheep too close and frequent due to work commitments.

This afternoon I got accused of changing delivery date which might make them miss the delivery.

It happened around 1pm when I was walking back to my seat after my lunch. Half-way through, I was stopped by Miss A. The 1st question that she popped was "Why I change the delivery date to today's delivery this morning." I was totally stunned by this question coz this morning, I was totally packed with many other minor stuff. I had totally no clue in the change. Well, I just replied her I got to go back and check as in my mind, I was thinking it might be my colleagues who had change it due to some reasons.

Once I reach my seat, I checked through the order and called her to check that I got the right item. And this time, Mr. B was beside her. Mr. B was the one who started all these. Miss A had her phone on speaker and so was mine. Thus everyone can heard us clear. While I was in the midst of checking, Mr. B got impatient and started to questioned me like a criminal. He started to ask me to see properly with the tone of questioning I'm blind.

At that moment, I couldn't hold my calm anymore. I went through the system and check on the changes made. Well, evidence was siding me. The last changes made was more than a week ago. I rebuke back at them. Then the both of them starting to say how come when they print the delivery schedule the previous day, the item was missing from the list. Well, my colleague who heard all these can't stand it anymore. She stand up for me and help me to rebuke back too.

I was actually fuming hot. If they can't see from the system, they should approach the IT staff. Not me. I'm not an IT guru. If I'm one, I won't be sitting there and talking to them with this amount of salary. Then the next question that was posted was, "Should they deliver the product today or not." Well, I shouldn't answer this too. It should be thrown to the Planning. They are the ones who commit those dates. I'm just passing info to customers. Haiz...

Case was closed 75% till here.

Being unable to swallow the anger that Miss A & Mr. B created, we went to tell my manager. He went down and find out the whole cause. Actually, the item was shown on the delivery schedule. Just that they overlooked and tick blindly. So who's at fault?

I should have be harsher? Should have told them off and ask them to look properly instead of me. I'm wondering whether they think I'm young and soft, so I'm good to eat? I had always try to be kind. But now I understand that it doesn't help. Especially in my current position, it doesn't pay to be kind. If we never retaliate today, they would have taken us as sick cat instead of leopards.

I have been working overtime recently as my colleague goes on leave and lots of things to be updated in the system.

I have been drained out. Really tired to continue on. Just half the month gone, I have been staying back for 5 of the days.

So to reward myself for all the hard work, I decided to go on leave next Monday & Tuesday.

I need a break! I will be recuperating in Malaysia! I'm going back for shopping and visiting.

Hope I can get lots of shopping therapy!!! Wish me all the best ok?

I just did something that I shouldn't have done earlier on in office.

I bared my heart out. It's really beyond my tolerance of some of the people there. They are really rare species as descibed by 'someone'.

This afternoon, I got insulted over the phone. It's not only insulting but humiliating too. I can't imagine how can a manager to do. I define the term 'MANAGER' as someone who can manage people and not someone who uses their mouth to humiliate or insult people. If this is the way that they have to do it, it's just too bad. Eventually there will only be colleagues and no friends at all.

By then, everyone will be on their own trying to cover their ass and pushing their blame all over.

Everything started this way.
I was doing an order which involve huge quantity where I got to split the figures. I got so stressed up on splitting the figures correctly and re-checking for numerous time with fear that I will key in wrong delivery date or quantity.

This evening, Manager J called me and asked me to draw out that particular order. First time I thought was "OMG! Did I key in the wrong item?" While I was drawing out the order and trying to check thru the particular item that was mentioned by Manager J, she was there trying to 'help' by offering me the S/O# etc which I already got. I replied her that I don't need it and I'm looking at the system. Being so impatient, she started to have the following phrases shooting out from her mouth.

"I wonder how you fare for your Maths in school."
"Your maths must be very poor."
"I think you sure to have failed your Maths."

When I start to reply her there are no mistakes, she insisted that there is. When I was going to insist on the 2nd time of my point of view, she finally realised that she have seen the wrong line item and answered me - "Never mind. Nothing. I see the wrong item." After that, no a single word of apology, the line just got cut.

The moment the line was off, my steam was boiling. I was flaming up. I can't tolerate stress and insult at the same time. I try very hard to keep myself cool but I can't. Full of difficulties as I have been tolerating Manager J's nuisance for the past 2 mths. This is not the 1st time she insulted me this way. Especially for my favourite subject in school. I can jolly throw her my E.Maths result for 'O' Levels. I gotten A2 for that. I wonder how good is hers.

I'm not a saint. Neither is she. She made mistakes where the materials were delivered to customer's site as I follow her blindly and key into the system. For that case, I still have to apologised to her and ask her for directions as I take her as my senior. Yet it doesn't pay to be kind. She never remembers all the kindness. I will not remember hers from now on. A tit for a tat.

She made me cried and make a fool out of myself in office. My colleague, manager and director all saw. They wondered why. After finding out the story from my side, my manager went down to ask her side of story. She insist that she was harmless. Everything was unintentional.

After that, when my colleague went to down, once again she ask her to ask me not to be so narrow minded. But how can I not be narrow minded. I understand there's a chinese saying that define as the speaker is harmless but the listener takes it as intentional. So being a near 40 years old in less than 5 years, does she understand that?

Nothing can heal my broken heart now. She's really evil no matter whether she is intentional or unintentional. How will her niece feels if she was humiliated that way. World is round. I'm now waiting for her turn to come. I shall not be the one to get back on her for this. I believe there are still justice riders around. I'm waiting for my hero...

I had a very emotional farewell at office yesterday.

I simply cannot control myself. My tears just flow so unexpectedly. Well, to add on fuel to the flames, once my tears starts to flow, it's hard to stop. While sending all the farewell email, I already got so emotional. Btw time I completed sending the email to all, my eyes were swollen. Even my boss got a shock. He was very surprised.

I failed my duties as an employee. I should have given my best even it's on my last day. But I didn't perform well as I'm too emotional. 3 years has allowed me to accumulated lots of feelings in the company. I grew up with it. My foundation in working life is built there. The admin and filing system are integrated by me, thus they are my baby. Asking me to abandon them now is so hurtful to me.

I am very grateful that many of my colleagues thinks so highly of me. I am so glad I have them with me for the past 3 years. Especially my counterparts in Germany.

Ending my sadness at my old office yesterday, today I start anew.

Entering the new workplace have just been like a girl walking on to a deserted island with no one around. Everyone has been looking at me wondering who I'm. It's weird feeling but I still can withstand those sights.

Those sights were only in the morning. Very fast, I got myself mingle with the colleagues and into their work pace. Quite tedious for a newcomer but I'm willing to learn. I had promise to give the best of myself in learning and contributing. I don't want shame my ex-boss's face. Letting the others think and speculate what kind of bad employee I am.

Brand new start = giving myself a new life. What has been past will be memories. I will always look forward to the future and no matter what happens in my new workplace, I will have to face it! "JiayOu! cInDy!"
