Mini skirt concept & la kopi sessions
have not been updating. actually have lots to update but too tired.
The tutorial on writing business papers conducted by my boss , which i "gate-crashed" (cos it was originally meant for training the executives only) on last Thurs was very enriching. I remembered how in my previous-previous-job, the monster ex-boss shove the responsibility of writing papers to me and did not give any guidelines on the specs. How could I even start. I was so helpless and frustrated over the task that i was practically whining to everyone that if i can write paper (which is usually done by graduates) then i should not be working in the organisation
liao.
Each of us were given more than 10 different sets of notes for our reference. Learnt
abt the standard format of writing internal and external papers, the common terms to use, the information required to support and justify the purchases as requested in the papers.
It was quite a serious tutorial lesson. Guessed the only time we laughed out loud when boss mentioned
abt his theory on writing papers. Quote him:
" Writing papers like a 'mini-skirt' concept --- Short enough to sustain interest, but long enough to cover main points."What a cheeky theory! However, those executives and I who are reporting to him did not dare to make any more comments
abt it while other executive who do not report to him added "
this (theory) definitely comes from a man!"*****************
Spend the weekend
(23-24 june) in a rather
tai-
tai way. On Sat evening, met up with the other
tais-
tais over dinner at
Sakae Sushi and followed by la-
kopi at
NYDC. Have not been catching up with them over a proper meal for a long time.
Great discovery of the day (shall i say Night) --
NYDC's Ugly Cake.It is called Ugly Cake cos it dun look nice . But it tastes great. I only have a small bite but that's enough for me to pass my judgement. That's the thing I like
abt NYDC -- the cakes. Be it cheese cake or brownies. You can't find fault with their cakes but some of their outlets' service sucks.
Have another la-
kopi session on Sun at Starbucks, RC. That was with another group of "
tais-
tais". This was the once-a-year gossiping+whining+sharing+catching-up
kopi session. This year's "session" also touched on
religion. And then to divorce, adultery and abuse. Which i also wondered how we can digress so much .
Hahahaha.
La-
kopi session ends
ard 6pm. Yet at 8pm, i had shifted to another "impromptu session" --
ktv session with friends. The ex called for it at the last minute, also asking my friends (
gor &
flutterby) to come along. Guessed he might have "
gian" to go singing before his one week holidays with family.
Gor and him together made a great "crap-
ers".
Flutterby came up with a question on how should a gal flirt and we thought she could get some serious views from the guys' perspective when
gor requested The Ex to sit beside him so that he can demo (pretending he's a gal).
Turned out to be CRAP! That lead to us (gals) protesting that what he did was "seduce", not "flirt". There's a difference between the two. No point asking the guys for their honest views when they are so "crappy",
