frustrations..
I am soooo tired but i'm actually enjoying work, except for the boring seminars of course. For once in my life, i dun dread getting up so early in the morning to go to school/camp/work. The past few days brought more new slaves like chris, michele, clifford, bernedette and cassandra, which means more people to crap with. haha. Found out that cheryl lives super near me so we have been going to work tgt and apparently there have been some bitching about a particular someone of late. lol. The past 2 weeks have made me come to realise some things and now i'm starting to really evaluate what do i really wanna do. Talking to these "qian bei men" can be rather insightful actually. Gained some knowledge over the past few weeks. Feeling rather vexed over some issues but hopefully i can get them solved soon. Really crossing my fingers that things will work out eventually, but i can only blame myself if they don't. sigh.. Time to start looking for another job soon, probably need to save up as much money as possible for the future assuming all works out. Working at the APEC summit has probably helped a little with networking so maybe i can work with some of them again in the near future.. Thursday, February 19, 2009, 8:26 pm
APEC Summit 2009
Well, my 2 week assignment at the APEC summit commenced on monday, just four days ago although it feels like so much longer. but i must say, i'm sort of enjoying myself in a weird kind of way. Yes, the meetings the meetings i'm in are very long (at least 3 hours) and are VERY boring since it has nothing to do with me. Some of the delegates can be rather um, let's just say they aren't very nice. I shan't say who explicitly in case some crazy person is out there decides to sue me for defamation or smth. lol. There was one who decided to leave an apple core on the floor after eating. very disgusting i know, since i was the one who cleaned it up. and some of them look like they wanna bite your head off. There was even one who raised his eyebrows at one of the console guys VERY SUGGESTIVELY. HAHA! talk about inappropriate.. Of course, there are some who are quite nice. Was helping out this japanese guy today who was assisting the EC Chair. And he was damn polite lar, not like some. At the end, he even came to thank me for everything and gave me his namecard lol. Turned out his name is Takuo Kato, and he is the Deputy Director for International Economic Affairs in the Cabinet Office. I think i will most prob be meeting him tmr again. Have been working at least 12 hours everyday but too be honest, i rather work 12 hours a day like this than 8 hours at a desk. And the people i'm working with are damn nice and friendly lar. My meeting room ic is wendy who turned out to be fucking funny. We keep bitching about stuff at the back of the room and over the last couple of days she started to ask qian bian qi and lame jokes. and it is seriously fucking entertaining when we are damn bored in the room. And this has been spreading like nuts. We have been like asking everyone in the falcon room and some of the faces are damn funny sia. Even ying qing whom i thought won't talk much now is like talking quite a lot. 3 of us are just keep crapping at the back to self-entertain ourselves over the 3 hours. The people from Tricom are also damn good la, lol. everytime go back to the room is just to crap with ai lin and the rest. Shu wen is seriously FUCKING NICE, and damn "wen rou" like someone said. can't imagine her scolding people or losing her temper at all. Then there is xin wei who is like bloody tall. Was having lunch at the falcon room today and we were spreading the qian bian tis to everyone in the room la. was damn funny to see their reactions. Clifford was like thinking so much to one damn lame question until michele totally sian diao. then there was others like jasmine, who took over qing ying in the afternoon, xue ling, oxy and cheryl. this wendelicious is becoming a super celeb sia. lol. she was even msging qian bian tis to the other room ics during the meetings. lol. and she keeps flirting with bobby. HAHA. Ok, working at events like this seriously rocks although the pay is not say very high actually and the working hours are long. But i think the people u work with helps make up for all of that. and this wendy is crazy la, keeps taking taxi home everyday. but not bad la, i got free ride home. HAHA. if not i prob reach home at like 9pm. I think by the end of the whole event i'm like going to be friends with the security and the hotel staff too also. and the air conditioning is FARKING COLD. its like a bloody FREEZING FIELD in the hotel especially the Riverfront room where i'm in. and everyone keeps complaining to us of course. Heard from clifford that one of the China delegates complained that their winter isn't as cold as the rooms. LOL. Pardon the rather horrible writing because i'm too tired to type everything out nicely. Anyway, shall compile the list of qian bian tis so far: 1. Mantou and char siew bao went to watch a sad movie. Why did char siew bao cry and why mantou didnt? Cuz char siew bao has filling (feelings) and mantou doesn't. 2. Then, char siew bao went to watch another sad movie with ba zhang. why char siew bao cry but ba zhang dunno whether to cry or not. Cuz ba zhang has mixed fillings (feelings) 3. what is happy's surname? Lee. happy-lee (happily) 4. Where does happy like to go? Lucky plaza. happy-go-lucky. 5. how many friends does happy have? Happy tree (3) friends. 6. Lang lai le. guess a fruit. Peach- Yang tao (goat run away) 7. Yang lai le. guess another fruit Strawberry. Cao mei (no more grass) 8. who flies faster, ultraman or superman? ultraman, cuz he drive in manual gear (ultraman sticks out one hand and the other hand at the side while superman sticks out 2 hands to fly) i think there is like damn a lot more but can't think at the moment. shall continue the list when i rmb. LOL Friday, February 13, 2009, 8:31 pm
im turning into a workaholic. THE HORROR.
Well i didn't have to work today since yesterday was my last day at SIM. Was quite an eventful morning actually. THE BITCH fired pei liang. LOL. He couldn't come to work because his grandmother entered the ICU and this being the 2nd time he didn't come for work she decided to fire him and told him that it was "the management's decision". right. She just promoted herself to "the management" with a sentence. Why so serious? we are only temp staff.. The funny thing is i think Tracy from Success picked Si Hui to replace Pei Liang. This world is just so ironic. Well, i'm hoping that Si Hui gets the job. But beware of the bitchy shrew. tsk tsk. Nonetheless, Sharon from HE9 actually treated me lunch. Another irony eh, someone from another dept treating me lunch. lol. Went over to ngee ann poly for lunch again at the new food court with almost the whole of HE9 and yi long and tuck leng. I started off eating lunch alone and then it became 2 of us, then 4 of us and suddenly there were like 9 of us. lol The people from HE9 are all quite nice and friendly actually. and at least they are SOCIABLE. not like those from HE7 whom hardly ever talk. Sharon actually told me to come find her when im back in august for studies and we'll go back to ngee ann to eat. LOL. oh well. its over. ha. Anyway, I finally went to register for the LCCI bookkeeping and accounting course. Finally going to get to use my brain again. Its been seriously too long. Actually went to borrow an accounting textbook from derek today also. ha. shall go and read up a little later. Oh yeah, the briefing for the APEC summit went pretty well. I'm suppose to be the Meeting Room Assistant. Basically, i'm just there to help prepare the documents before each meeting and basically just help out with anything in the room i think. Not too sure actually, lol. Shall play it by ear once i start on monday. I'm suppose to be with another girl yi qing in the room together with my room ic, but she's the quiet type unfortunately. doubt we'll be talking much. and if i'm not wrong, we are suppose to remain in the rooms while the meetings are going on. so it will prob be an eye-opener. hopefully, or i will just fall asleep. Met some other people there thou, like benedict, christopher and andrew, all around the same age. was talking abt the usual crap like school, ns etc etc. A couple of them are awaiting their A levels. In the end all the guys sort of banded together and were just talking. Girls always so anti-social one. tsk tsk. not like guys. anywhere and everywhere also can bond. LOL. Talking to benedict made me realise that next week i'll be working at least 84 hours. ok, 77 hours if we minus 1 hour for lunch everyday which i hope they don't, since lunch is at the hotel and i doubt we'll take 1 hour to eat. but nonetheless, i will have at least 33 HOURS OF OT. $_$. LOL. too bad we are only working till thurs the following week so no more OT. =( I think i'm slowly turning into a workaholic. omfg. and my earphones are still spoilt!! argh, stupid logitech had to and take over UE! Apparently, after they took over they decided not to sell spare wires. so now i'm still waiting for a response on how i can go about repairing them. AND ITS ONLY THE GODDAMN WIRES WHICH ARE SPOILT, SO I JUST NEED TO REPLACE THEM WHICH TAKES LIKE 2 SECONDS ONLY AND I'M WAITING FOR LIKE 3 WEEKS ALREADY. and i can't live without my music when i'm outside so i'm back to using the awful stock earphones. Ok, they don't sound too bad actually but i need IEMS!! i need to cut out all the noise when im listening. =/ Went down to Jaben actually, was thinking of getting the sennheiser IE8 actually but changed my mind to the Westone 3. Sigh, but it costs 599. was thinking about getting a 2nd hand pair, but its still about 480 and i bought my UE EBs for about 350 only about 1.5 yrs ago. Zzz... Apparently, logitech jacked up all the UE prices. The TF10 cost 600 over bucks now. Zzzzzzz.... To get or not to get? money money money... its so funny..... LOL Wednesday, February 11, 2009, 9:34 am
work work
Anyhow, seems there will be a slight change in my plans. Decided to do LCCI bookkeeping and accounting course for the next few months instead of ACCA because of the timing and the costs. Shall reconsider ACCA again after my LCCI course. Think i'm going to register for Econs & Finance tmr as well in SIM. Turned out work wasn't so bad yesterday. It was more lively and not so mundane with the new temp staff there. Lol, yi long is the typical AJC student who don't talk much but Pei liang is quite funny. Made life more bearable. My lunch actually took more than an hour ytd, went over to ngee ann poly to eat with them and Tuck leng, another temp staff from another dept, Sharon and some other perm staff. Made me realise how dead and uninteractive my dept is. They barely even talk to each other sia. =/. Pei liang kept mocking yi long also abt his nerdiness. lol. "i play better (in soccer) when others are running as well" lol, wth is that suppose to mean? Too bad tmr is going to be my last day already. All the best to Pei Liang. like seriously. Hmm, seems that the sihui and the others met on monday. Seems like a long time since i last saw them, except sihui of course. Just saw him on sat. lol. They all seem like a distant memory.. far far away... anitha's face seems to be fading into the oblivions.. oh no.. but i can still hear her voice... lol. Ahh, anyway i need to get ready soon. Need to head over to the agency to do some paperwork. Monday, February 09, 2009, 7:55 pm
never judge a book by its cover
Well, THE BITCH is sort of the head of the department, but is still some small fry. So she is like taking charge of the temp staff, holding on to my timesheet etc. Lets see, THE BITCH is very short and small. like a female gnome. but don't let that fool you. she is ngiao as fuck. LOL. 1st incident: Last week, i had an interview for my APEC summit assignment on thurs. so i told her that i would take the morning off and come back in the afternoon. But noooo, according to THE BITCH, SIM doesn't have any half day policies so i have to serve the other four hours after work, even though i'm being paid by the hour. So in the end i worked till 7.30 on thurs and fri. I'm perfectly fine with working until 7.30 but the thing is turns out that Tuck Leng, a new temp staff from another dept went for an interview on fri afternoon and he didn't have to make up for the half day he lost. Ok fine, maybe because he was from an another dept, and the dept head wasn't THE BITCH. But, LOW AND BEHOLD, guess what? my colleague in the same dept is on HALF DAY TODAY. can someone pls spell THE BITCH please. No half day my ass. 2nd Incident: I went up to THE BITCH this morning to tell her that i can't come on wed because i have a briefing for the APEC summit. At first she said okay. But sometime in the afternoon she came to my desk and said "actually ah, by right u cannot go for another company thing, so i have to tell the management and see if they might say anything." Fuck. off. and. die. BITCH. I'M JUST A FREAKIN TEMP STAFF LA ZOMG... And for fuck sake, don't say that there might be urgent matters when there hasn't been any shit going on for the past 1 over month that i have been there. You guys even have to hunt high and low for papers for me to SHRED so that i have something to do. die BITCH. lol. So small yet so fucking ngiao. Okok, i shall stop my rantings about THE BITCH. My last day is this thurs anyway. so good riddance. lol. On a lighter note, my assignment for APEC summit has been confirmed! Can't believe i'm going to say this, but UNFORTUNATELY, it only starts next monday. At first they told me it will start this friday. So can't work this weekend. =/. ha. Looks like this weekend, need to go and get some decent formal wear then. Oh yeah, my working hours are from 16-26 FEB 7am-7pm everyday. Shiok sia. lol. But the waking up at 5am isn't going to be so shiok. And i think i shall go and register for my ACCA course this wednesday as well. Going to be tough catching up i think. But i think i can do it bah. haha. Shall start off with 2 modules first. Shall end off with.. DIE U BITCH. LOL. Every Word - Ercola feat. Daniella I’m turning in I think it’s time for me to go I’d let you in but I just wanna take it slow Look a little closer It’s not hard to know We got something more and that’s not typical When I first saw your face I didn’t look again I didn’t go there cuz I just got myself up again But you know what to say To take my breath away And I had no idea that things would change I’m saving up Every Word Keepin em together cuz they sound so good I’m holding onto Every Word That’s whats got me feeling alive yeah Every word you say is like it’s from a poem Sending me to places I have never known Something bout our vibe is like a chemical If we don’t do this right I think it might explode When I first saw your face I didn’t look again I didn’t go there cuz I just got myself up again But you know what to say To take my breath away And I had no idea that things would change I’m saving up Every Word Keepin em together cuz they sound so good I’m holding onto Every Word That’s whats got me feeling alive yeah Sunday, February 08, 2009, 10:33 pm
Feeling some motivation
The first 2 years were my JC years, which totally went down the drain all because i didn't study. And after doing some research over the past couple of days, i realised how much more i could have done over the last 2 years while in NS, especially since i was so damn fucking free. Nvm, i shall look to the future! I think i'm finally going to enrol for my course at SIM nextweek. After much consideration, i plan to either study Econs & Finance or Banking & Finance. Econs & Finance looks really content heavy thou, esp with the econs modules. My mother also encouraged me to take up some courses within these few months actually, so after doing some research, i intend to take up accounting too. I'll probably register for the ACCA course after i clarify some doubts soon. Well, my mother isn't pressuring me to do the exams but the courses aren't cheap so i think i shd definitely do the exams. My last day at SIM is also going to be this thurs. Got this 2 week assignment starting Fri at the APEC summit but apparently there are a lot of complications at the moment so i'm really crossing my fingers that everything will work out eventually. I'm actually looking forward to this job cuz i think it will be an experience. We are suppose to be working a 12 hour shift everyday and maybe all 14 days but i'm definitely okay with it since i'm so free anyway. Currently i'm feeling the motivation to do something proper with my life and make up for what happened in JC and hopefully this motivation will last over the next few years. lol. At least i don't procrastinate as much anymore ha. Nowadays, constantly looking for jobs to occupy my time. Wanted to go and work at Starbucks at nights and on weekends actually but unfortunately i didn't get any return calls(apparently the guy told me they have like 50 applicants a day)=/. So, looking for some tuition assignments now too. Hoping to get a call soon. lol. Decided to volunteer with this year's HELP camp too since sihui asked. Do some good work to help balance the bad karma out a bit. And now with ACCA, i'll prob have some night classes as well. On an another note, i thought i got over this issue but recently with this question keep popping up constantly i realise i have fully gotten over it. I know its all in the past, but somehow i just feel very guilty and kind of ashamed when people ask the question and i keep trying to avoid the question but its always inevitable. Zzz.... and i'm still secretly really hoping to find this group of people soon... lol..... |
