20-23 May 2005 ( work, park, Monday at the Ark)
Woke up with less than 2 hrs of sleep.Actually, I should have abt 3 hrs of sleep, but somehow there are lots of things on my mind. (reflections, thoughts, and so on). Seems I am “in the mood”, better jot them down now in case I’ll forget. Hmm think I will split all these into two entries.
Events first:
Friday 20 MayNot a good day at work, cos had to work despite my cramps as my partner was on MC. Instructed the aunty subordinate to do work, yet she refused to do. Whoa! Open defiance sia! Ask her to sent despatch, yet she said she was giddy and if the big boss insist, she is willing to pay $5 herself to call despatch. Not gonna to fall for her trap so I sent the despatch as the other PA is having stomach upset too. Actually she isn’t sick, for she ate laksa at lunch and was walking so happily when I took back the package from her.
In the afternoon, had asked her to follow up on the donations. Before even approaching the colleagues , she first gave lots of excuses on how they won’t donate…. (piang!)
J (my partner) called me, to check on the situation. And seems like she expected it. I was advised to write a summary of what happened. It seems like when my partner is back, we’ll have a confrontation with her, showing her our records of all her “misconducts”, and if she still exhibits attitude problems, we’ll have to talk to our supervisor abt it.
Yes that’s the
“ultimatum” . We had given her too many chances. We din reported abt her when our supervisor check with us if we still face problems with her. Last month, when my partner actually wanted to initiate a meeting with her, I had suggested to call it off, as I feel that she will be even more defensive if we point out abt her attitude. But we both know that by calling off the “counseling session”, one of either will lost our temper one day.
I am the sort who though will try to bear with all sort of stupid situations, whine abt it to my friends, but still won’t bring the matter up to upper management. If I do, then that person is really a hopeless case liao. There is no point for me to defend him or her.
My partner and I know the reason behind her defiance—her pride. She wasn’t convinced that after 20 years of working experience, she had to listen to our instructions. We aren’t “excited” abt having a subordinate under us either. Most of the time, my partner and I are happy working together without getting her involved.
Working at this present company is actually quite enjoyable, except when you come to working with her. Perhaps someone always have to “plays the villian” ……
Sat 21 MayOk had written the part abt the encounter with someone. Back to the part on the meeting with gor. Haha, dunno gor is reading this now…
Anyway gor was telling me abt a rough storyline of the comics series he had in mind.Really fascinated by the story. Haha but can’t mention here in case anyone steal the
Hai, that reminds me of the two stories ideas I had in mind years ago. Till now, didn’t have the chance and courage to work on one………
Sun 22 MayWent to Pasir Ris park in the afternoon to attend the TXY Sports Day. Actually, the games started in the morning. Aiyah, since I am in a "semi retired" stage, can come at any time I want. Haha
Captain's Ball match started an hour behind the schedule. My group won the prelimary match, but to Qun Yings during the second round . Hehe dun wanna mention the state of my clothes after the two matches.
Had a bbq session in the evenings. Keke while the guys built the fire, the gals was the prawns, marinate the chicken wings and peel prawns. Haha we tried to bullied the boys to carried pails of water for us to do the washing. The dirtied water was then used to watered the bushes nearby. Wondering if the plants are still surviving now...... :P
Left the BBQ slightly after 8pm (our group had almost finished all the food by then) , saw a 不速之客 alighting from the bus as we are abt to board.....
Mon 23 MayNo Monday blues, as it is a public holiday too. But woke up with a stiff neck lor. Arm and legs muscles feel slightly cramp, but I am rather pleased. keke cos that means the muscles are more toned. Measured my waistline, and haha ,lost half an inch leh.
Met W at AMK so that we can take bus service 74 to Adam Road. I was going to bring her to the Island Creamery for ice cream. Wooo Wooo.
Hmmm, we had a scoop of Teh Tarik ( relly good), Holicks, Very Berry and Burnt Banana ice-cream. Sitting in the air-conditioned corridor, looking at the sunny scene outside the shop while enjoying our delicious ice cream, really felt like we are in enjoying life in heaven.....
Perhsps we were feeling too "high" that we forgotten abt counting calories, for we went straight ahead to Macs for a proper dinner right after the ice-cream session.
Shared a cab to Muchuan, and we reached there quite early. The door was closed , and there wasn't any waiters in sight. However the Mon-sters were there. Hence we stood outside the door, hoping on of them would see us to give us any cue whether we could go in. Turned out that Mr Cool Guy got down the stage to retrieve something, Welly and I were like chanting "转过头，转过头！", hoping he would see us peering outside the entrance. (of course he was unable to hear us).
Fortunately, he turned around and we were given the permission to go in. ML suddenly feel stressed abt practice some songs in front of us. So we pretended to go away. Actually W and I were hiding at the corner in forgot of the cashier counter, 偷听他们唱歌。
Upon hearing the sounds of
"Mo-cha, Mo cha, Mo cha", I understood why ML asked me to "siam". Cos they were practicing the song I requested --"和世界面对面" . 他们练习了一遍又一遍，我和W都感觉到他们的用心与努力。
( hmm I am feeling kinda tired now, so will cut the story short :P)
Ok, what happened taht evening was that we (1o of us) joined up 4 tables, and wrote down our Table No. as 47 (14+ 15+18). Had sort of a mini celebration for Jiahao. But he had to share the limelight with another gal by the name of Cherilyn ( or sounds something like that lah) who was also celebrating her birthday with her friends at MC.
Hmm, for the first time, Jianhua dared to "flirt" with Sips from the stage, joking that he'll look at her while he sing the next song. Sips had some comments regarding his action, shall leave it to her to elaborate abt it on her blog.
I was rather surprised that W. and her colleagues "sabo" Peishan too sing on stage as a "farewell gift", as W had asked me to recommended some nice songs abt farewell or friendships and she thought of sending a special dedication to her. Haha, what a way to make her remember the farewell. :P
Went for a game of pool after their performance. After the 3rd application of YokoYoko on my stiff meck, it finally seems to take effects. And just in time too. Keke I was rather gian" to play, as I hadn't be playing for more than half a year. (though I need to use very special method as I can't interpret straight lines). Was feeling a bit "zhuai" and "shiok" cos I beat Ah Du . ( of cos i dun dare to play with the two experts Sips mentioned though). Aiyoh Sips, u missed out the scene where they look at me skeptically when i tried to shoot with the "backhand pose", and the ball went it.
Ok lah, maybe I waas a bit lucky. hahah. but maybe I wasn't that stress playing the first game as i thought that since they are rather good at pool, I 'll just anyhow play, cos no matter how I play, my skills still far behind them.
At my next turn, pair up with Sips , and play against Ah Du and Jiahao. Think the more serious I treat a game, the worse I performed . Was very "dui "at my last shot, the white ball went into the pocket instead of the last striped ball I was aiming for, hence giving the opposing team a "ball in hand" , which led to their winning shot. 并不是在意游戏的输赢，只是觉得我对不起我的师傅们。 haha. I have lots of "shi-fus" who taught me how to play pool. To make a long story short, it was because quite a few friends had taught me how to play pool, but realising that i really can't aim with my eyes, a group of them had found only method that suits me is to measure with the cue, pull back, and just shoot. (there's no point for me to bend down and aim with the help of using eyes.)
Will post abt Tue's event at my other private blog.
