snippets here and there
1) Got bullied at work again. When there is trouble, ppl start covering there a**es. Not that I really want to use that word, it was the designer who said to me taht i have to learnt to cover that.
In summary, what happen was a freelance stylist got so upset after seeing the layout of her story. Too bad it had been sent for printing and we can't made the changes. She demand an explanation on y wasn't the file sent to her first before printing as she had requested earlier.
The fact was, when she first request it, I had check with " Designer A" and was told the file layout was not finalised yet. I did mention once it is done, i need to sent the file to writer for checking.
Yesterday, the writer sent the reminder again, so this time i checked, and was shocked to find out that file was already sent for printing. only designer B was there and she claim she did not know anything abt it.
Today checked with designer A, she said she dunno I need to sent the file to writer. So now the blame was pushed to me that it was my fault that I didnt check with them again.
I had to admit that it was partly my fault that I did not check with them after a few days. But they are also at fault too, for sending out files without letting me know, yet the reason they push the blame to me was "you are the coordinator', it's yr job to coordinate between freelancer and us.
Oh yeah, so I am the coordinator, so y wasn't I inform when you all had sent the files.
At the end, i was given the advice by one of them: "next time u must learn to cover yr a**"
oh yeah, so u all always cover yr A**. if everyone one does that, who's repsonsible?
I went back to my desk, without arguing or defending myself, but in my heart, i was feeling very 委屈(wei3 qu1).
Stupid of me right, even after 2 years of working experience in my previous company, i still had not learnt the harshness in the working world.
Am I too naive and innocent?????????

2) Guys, sorry to say that, but I think most guys lack of general knowledge when it come to beauty and health products.
They think that: all cream are the same, be it body firming treatment cream or hand lotion .
Why I said that leh, read on ...
Afternoon, when I was on the way leading our new art director (a male this time, and married one) the way to the petty cash counter, he first mention that the new magazine, Her World Body is a good buy, cos there were 2 free gifts which market value was worth more that the cost of the mag ($6). one was the bottle of GNC Vit C tablets, 100 tablets of 500mg each. Another was the Nivea firming treatment cream ( specially state here: not sample size), targeting at females who want to make their skin (especially the flabby areas) firmer and toner.
Then he asked me a question. " For Vit C tablets, do you suck it or swallow it"
Me thinking:
Huh? Like that u dunno arh. Read the instructions on the bottle. Anyway, there is no much difference between sucking or chewing the tablets. it will be going to yr body's digestive system anyway?
he added on: Cos i was sucking this one and find it very sour, so dunno if the proper way was to swallow it.
Duh!!!!
Then one the way back, he told me he bought the magazine after seeing that we won't be getting a free copy of it ( we often got free magazines of our publications),and said the free gifts were worth it.
In my mind, I was wondering did he pass the free Nivea firming cream to his wife. Then he said, the cream was also good.
I was like
"Huh? u used it?".
"yah. working in air-conditioned office makes my hands very dry. So I used it on my hand."
"but that one is firming cream, you know, not the hand lotion....." (alamak, attached with the magazine was a card already got this big card which read " Firming cream. Firms your skin contour,And a pic of a femal model showing her toned legs)
"is it. Oh, then I better give my wife......"
**********************************
Din't eat much these few days, cos my stomach was bloated with gas due to gastric problems, The food and snacks didn't seem appetising anymore. Dunno how to get rid of the "wind' in my body., was like burping now and then.
My colleagues thought I was joining them in their "dieting & weight loss regime" due to "peer pressure".
Just an update on their weight lost methods. The one who tried Cambridge diet had stopped it. It did work, she lost 5 pounds in 3 days, but she really can't take it anymore, cos the mind is not working . Her mind is always wandering off during that period. Maybe due to sudden drop in glucose level.
Others had bought boxes of this FANCL slimming drinks which claims to boost yr metabolism and aid u to lose weight.
Their lunch were light meals, and even when they eat Yong Dao Fu , they ate the Yong Dao Fu in plain soup, without rice or noodles.
Normally i ate and snacked a lot to keep my body warm during office hours. Now with all the gases in my stomach, i dun feel like eating even I was hungry. If it persists, I'll sure lose weight . no need to buy Fancl slimming drinks or Cambridge diet.
Now my collars bones seems like protuding....
