Description: [Not going to spend time here introducing myself. To my dear friends, relax, I didn't change my name to "Harmonie Wong". If you hadn't read my first entry, it's just a nick. However, there is a story behind. "Wong"was chosen because of family's history with the surname. As for "Harmonie", it's because of a numerology pairing with "Wong". You can read more abt it in my 1st entry. I know that the online world is not 100% secure, so won't be revealing too much. & my dear friends, rest assured that I'll not be mentioning yr real life names in this blog.]

Lessons at work

1) When "anything" means "testing"


When boss mentions "anything",

he is just testing u.

Hence, do not do nothing.


Yesterday, boss asked me to get a quotation from a vendor for an addition 1/2 day photoshoot of our clinics as I pointed out to him that it is unlikely we can have 30 shots of 4 different clinics done in 1 day.


Me: Any budget?

Boss: Anything lah.

(look at the quotation for 1 day photoshoot).

Boss : Should be around half the price. U ask them if they could charge cheaper.

Me: Do u want me to show you the amount they quoted when I receive their quotation or shall I pass the quotation directly to executive to raise PR and u check it out from there.

Boss: Directly pass it to exec.


However , instead of charging us half of what they quoted us for a full day shoot in the previous quiteation, the vendor also charge us half of what they quoted for the pics touch up services too.

Personally feel that they should not factor that it as we are just spreading out the photshoot of 30 different scene from the 1 full day to 1.5 days . So went to update boss abt the price quoted before he question abt it when he see PR.

After taking a look at the new quotation , he said: Anything lah.

(after working with boss for more than a month, we notice that there are times when boss like to crap and seems to test our response to his crap, so my response to that was:)


Me: yah, whatever .

Boss: Whatever , Anything lor.

I remembered Boss ever gave a serious talk on A-Grade and B-Grade performer and of cos I knw it is not wise to do nothing though he seems fine with "whatever & anything" the vendor quoted. So called by the vendor and queried abt the exra charges. It was rather easy as I have valid reasons to ask for the waiver of the extra charges.

Less than an hr later, boss passed by my workstation , and i passed him the lastest quotation -- $250 lesser than the previous.

Need not mention in detail abt his reaction, all i can say is that it was approved in less than 2 hours after my colleague had raised the PR.

2) It's a small world after all

Singapore is such as small world. It really could not be smaller when I found out that the candidate who applied for the post of Asst Manager used to be my ex-colleague from the 2nd company I had worked for. Not only that, she is also ex-classmate of my colleague who also reports to my boss.

Needless to say, boss did ask me for my opinion of her.

Though I was not close to her then, there wasn't any bad blood between us. As far as I know, she's a good worker , and definately can perform up to my boss's expectations.

As the sayings go:

"多一个朋友,好过多一个敌人”

"Always leave the company in a good name".

I could not imagine how awkward it would be if she is selected and we aren't on friendly terms .

Boss even asked me if i have any message to pass to her before he went to interview her. As for her second round of interview, he even ask me to fetch her to do some catching up and say I could meet her for breakfast .

what i dun understand was his comment:

“(if she joined us)会很好玩。你们两个都认识她”

ehh what exactly he meant by "好玩"
