Damn.. feel so stressed and worn-out working here. Looks like I’m not able to take hardships after all. Time to rant about my work!!!!
(1) Working Environment..
a. Solemn - can't even listen to songs in earpiece..
b. No privacy - no partitions from other colleagues' table..
(2) Rules and Regulations..
a. Punctuality - can't be late for even a few minutes.. will kena deduct 2 times bonus.. For me.. my record is average late for 2 times a month..
b. Sick Leave - Can't take MC even if really sick.. heard from colleagues that they never took MC in their 20 plus years here, they took leave instead if they are sick! U know why? Coz they will deduct 2 times bonus.
(3) Welfare
a. Poor Welfare - company doctor and polyclinics only
b. Annual Leave - pathetic number of days of Annual Leave
(4) Work Scope
a. Only 1/4 of my work is marketing related. Asked to do Accounts Payable and Payroll for PT staff. Damn! Waste of my working knowledge..
(5) Work Procedure
a. No personal email/internet access - Have to use a shared email/internet PC.. have to queue up for it sometimes.. and have to print out everyone’s email in that PC.. so besides my own work, I still have to do this kinda crap..
(6) Iniquitous Senior cum Manager
a. Kena nagged and shoot from her even whether I'm in the right or wrong. If I talk back, will kena more from her. (So what I can do is to keep my mouth shut even if she’s wrong)
b. Always kena spied by her (listen to my tele-conversation, notice my behaviour etc.. siao right?)
c. Asked me to greet bosses and colleagues (This one also have to say meh? Treat me like school child lor)
d. Tell me to keep my work area clean.
These are just some things I can't stand. Other problems faced I didn't mentioned here is because I feel that those problems will also arise if I work in other companies. Ok. Time to update my resume and plunge into the job hunting phase again
+~+~+~+~
Went to see The One to ask about my career and family last night. Was told that I was too stressed and I can't take so much baggage. And to stop lamenting on how misfortune I am as everyone goes through this phase and this phase will pass by soon. He said to stay happy and smile at the person and not to curse at the person, though how much I hate him/her inside. Yes, He even knows that I keep tend to bottle up my feelings. He said have to relieve myself of my unhappiness by pouring out to someone. But I told Him it's difficult to find someone to talk to around me. He answered saying that there's someone whom I can speak to around me.. But I find no such person around me.. He just wants me to bear with the current situation. But I find it hard to endure. Was asked to pray to 'Hu Ye' and burn some paper money.. Wah liew.. I couldn't light all of the matchsticks that they provide. Not too sure is that a bad omen?? Finally, I borrowed a lighter from them. And dunno whether did all the paper money gotten lighted or not.. coz it was my first time doing it alone.. in my life of 25 years.. hope it has.. as I really want to see improvement in my life. And some procedures which I have to follow.. and He will help me to improve my life. I hope it will and I’m sure to go back to thank Him.
+~+~+~+~
I know he's trying hard for our future but I do think it's hard to succeed. Yes he’s changed a lot for the better, but sometimes I feel it's not enough. I need something more than just love. I need security which he can't provide currently, and I mean financial security. I really do not know what lies ahead..
+~+~+~+~
I wanna reformat my pc.. coz a lot of website can't surf think there’s a serious problem with my pc.. oh no.. I just realize my photos in HK aren’t uploaded yet.. Lazy me..

Nowadays, seldom have the heart nor energy to blog... Even when i'm not working-out at Amore, i would be glued to the TV straight after i reached home.. i like "Liao Zai" on Ch U from Mon-Fri, 10pm. And i also like the HK drama on SCV Ch 55 8pm currently "Into Thin Air" acted by Miao Qiao Wei, Melissa Ng, Bernice Liew. Would find myself anticipating for the ending..
Bad & lousy days for me! First i had such a bad experience at Amore, bugis branch yesterday. Shouldn't have went there in the first place. U know what, i got forfeited for a class which i didn't book for in the first place and that was on 2 Sept at Jurong Point branch. This is like so long ago and when i went to extend my package coz of my trip, no one informed me at all. And the counter girl still dare to say i have to check with the branch to see which class i book on that day.. i told her that it will be so troublesome lor.. I sort of like make a scene at the counter.. wah piangz.. Anyway the girl told me will let me know on Tues when her manager got back, if not, i had to check with Jurong Point Branch myself. Feeling anguish, i called JP branch the next day and in the end, they added back two days for me, which is back to normal. In conclusion, poor system & bad CS @ Amore. Then secondly, met a naggy security guard at my Aunt's condo while attempting to swim with my buds.. makes my blood boil even more.. Though it's part of my fault lah, but i shouted at her machiam i am right lolz!
Met up with my ex-uni mates for a pool session cum dinner last Sat. Surprisingly, still played quite well despite haven played for few years already. We had dinner at Crystal Jade Kitchen @ Suntec City and i ordered Wanton Mee.. very nice.. plus some side dishes.. feel the portion is rather small and expensive wor.
Held my company event at the Wedding Fair @ Takashimaya - 20 to 22 Oct.. Had such a bad experience with the organiser.. Not even organised at all.. and made me wait for such a long time for the setting up of our booth. Booz! Thumbs down.. don't think i will be working with them for future events! And the crowd is disappointing. Perhaps the location of the booth isn't ideal in the first place. But thanks to some nice people i got to know through the booth, it's not so boring manning the booth lah. =)
ANd got to watch a fashion parade by some of the mediacorpe artises. But no Felicia Chin leh!
