31 Dec 2004 & 1 Jan 2005
Happy New Year to All
Well, for the 1st time in my life, had attended the new year countdown outside my home . Shall talked abt it later.
31 Dec 2004
Back to office after a dayoff. Colleagues were like teasing me abt my new look. (cos i rebonded my hair). Haha, some teased that they thought i am a model, while some asked was it that i going to get married soon. Hmmm, having changed to wearing contacts and having straighter hair now, i guessed there is a significant change, but not that exaggerating that I look like another person.
Well, had told more colleagues abt my resignation (yeah, had tenered on 29 Dec). Some asked why wouldn’t I wait till I had gotten the company bonus then left When I told them where my future workplace is, all think that there is a better prospect for me there.
Also heard that my “gan-cheong” supervisor had walked into the GM office yester, an after they, they announced that this “3m tape” (an intern who is very “sticky”, hence the nic) will be transfer to my department. It may seem bitchy, but most of us do not like her, cos of her attitude. One was so “sian” that she remarked that she will find a big board and place in front of her cubicle, so that she will not be able to see “3M tape” face.
For me, I doubt that she can ever cover my duties properly, as she was more often seen chatting with the male colleagues than working. So I sort of went to the GM’s room, asked if I nee to hand over my duties to her. As expected, GM ask me why I left. Told him that the future place is located at a more accessible place for further studies. He said that if I stayed, they could arrange for early release on the days I need to attend classes. As the saying goes: It’s easier to o the talking than work. What he failed to understand is my immediate supervisor’s character, she would never like it if anyone leaver earlier than usual.
I also pointed out to him that there will be better jobscope at the new company ( sorta hint that I am fed up with all the “sai kang” I had to do here). What he said really make me wanna rolled my eyes. He said something like now is the initial period, as the company grows, yr job scope will change. Admin Assistant can be promoted to Assistant Manager (~ yeah, have to wait for more than 10 yrs lor). We have been genuine to you by giving you MI (pay increment)”.
See, now he mentioned abt the pay increment. I have known earlier that they expected my “repayment” after they awarded me the increment. Well, my decision still stands, I am going to leave. Wish me all the best!
31 Dec 2004, 8pm to 1 Jan 205 1.30pm
Had attended the countdown dinner at 木船 with Sips and Cyn. Quite fun actually. Singers were great, Music was great. Well I felt happy too, cos I was like some "恩人" to Sips. Chioed her to attend this event, let her got the chance to know more abt her idol, Jianhua(the 木船 singer). Luck was on our side too, as we were told to pick put one card each for lucky draw to play games. I actually dislike the card I picked out, as it was a "Number 4". But it was the lucky card which led to Sips to get close to Jianhua. Cos when A-du ( anotehr singer) draw a number from the bowl, it was my card number. I was like "oh no, why i so suay, had to go on stage to play some games". But..... they actually wanted me to get a friend sitting beside to go up stage to sing song. So got Sips to go upstage instead. That's how she was asked to sing a duet with another male patron, and Jianhua. At the end, Jianhua presented her a Winnie the Pooh bear. Hahahaha.
Heng they didn't actually want the person who got the lucky card to go up on stage, or Sips will kill me for this :P
I got got something in returned. We were told to write down our new year resolutions, and the most creatives ones would received a souvenir. Mines was picked out. Well, if u are interested to know what it was, it is sort of a musical box, in a shape of a 木船 , with a steering wheel and an anchor.
Sort of through the lady boss's arrangement, we gotta take pics with the singers, who were dressed up as Princes and Princesses for the countdown. Of cos, Sips got the chance to take another pic with her "Romeo", gotten his signature, and even his handphone number (with the help of Cyn's pick up line).
Hey Sips, u mentioned that he's 高不可攀, but he seems so easy-going, so soft-spoken down the stage ( a bit ironic right) so willing to take pics, and give out his handphone number. Hmmm, just read yr blog, is your relationship with SW in danger now? Guessed it was too early to think that one will wait for another for 5 years, but nobody made any promises right?
ok. gotta go out now. Shall write abt my 2004 reflections another time.
