I am rushing for my assignments as i am typing this blog. This year i seem to be more slack when planning for my assignments. Which means i have simply no motivation watsoever to do my assignments, nor do any research for it. Maybe its because the subjects that i am taking this year are all very essay orientated......lalala... no mood to write liao...

lala.... just came back from lunch... had to wait for anyone to come back from their lunch before i could go... so i was waiting patiently for my turn lor... then happily... my manager sent us an interesting email before she went for her lunch...

Well... it is actually an ordinary mail in that the contents are to remind us that the official lunch hrs are between 12-2pm. Wat makes it interesting is that the fact that we admin department has to do a rotating between us so that one groupd would have to go first, and the other groupd would have to stay around so that they can help to pick up the calls. But then.... when everyone is busy doing watever urgent things that they have to do... they might not be able to go off at a schedule time of 12pm on the dot...and with that... whoever is in the second grp will not be able to come back at 2pm shld they really take an hr lunch. So... my question here is that... whats the moral of the story?? I dont know.... i dont understand the meaning of rotated lunch... when the business itself doesnt function 24/7. I dont believe that other companies dun have lunch hrs, and even if nobody picks up the call.... i think that whoever is calling would be able to guess that its lunch break time.... so.. why is the need... INTERESTING...

half the pie... hahaha

Well.... yesterday i was supposed to do my assignments, but after i took my dinner at
home... i was suddenly possesed by the sleeping ghost and felt so sleepy that after a while
i went of to my bed to sleep instead of doing my assignment.... bad on me.... bad girl... Hee... saw this name converter on someone whom i knew blog page and i couldnt resist

I so feel like shit today... Even the time that i am supposed to have lunch also must be controlled by her. Sibei sianz de leh.. I feel so the manipulated. Like i am not supposed to have a mind of my own. Then its like i never do my work then i go off for lunch like that. It so makes me feel that i am an irresponsible person like that... Cannot make it leh..

I am so thinking that if i am a male technician then i probably wouldnt be treated like that. But then i shldnt be thinking this way... if i keep on thinking negative like last time while i was in the bank, then i wouldnt be able to adapt to my new work position again... which might eventually lead to another job hopping session.....

Wah liew eh..... just kanna some stupid shit thing for one of my collegue. She went for a meeting with the boss with some figures that she ask me to do a pivot table for her. I followed her instructions and came out with a pivot table, and i even asked her to check if that is what she wanted. Then she say ok...... Then after the meeting with the boss, she keep on chasing after my neck telling me that she has something urgent for me to do.. then i kanna bomb!!!

Then after the meeting with the boss, she keep on chasing after my neck telling me that she has something urgent for me to do.. then i kanna bomb!!! She showed me the figures from the pivot table that i had done for her. She told me that the boss feels that the figures are not correct as they are very the different from previous years. Then she tell me that the boss wans "US" to do a manual check of all the hardcopy documents to check if the figures are really correct. Then she ask me to do it... all by myself... she say boss tell "US" to do it... in the end is i do it. Then i already very the not happy that i am the one doing it... then i ask her when is the deadline for the thing... then she ask me to do it within two days....how the hell is that logically possible.!!!! Then hor... afterwards we find out that the figures that was used to compute the pivot table was wrong.... and that i was told to use a wrong column of figures... Then i told her that in this case... give me the correct figures and i will do a pivot table for her to show the boss again... she say no need.. just go ahead and check the papers as told by the boss.... THEN I BERI THE BEI SONG!!!! I tell her that since the data is wrong she shld just show the boss the correct figures and everything would be solved... and there would not be any wasted efforts to go through the pile of papers... then she like so the scarded that if the boss know do wrongly will die like that insist on not showing the boss the correct figures...with that.... MY VOLCANO EXPLODED!!!... and i told her that i wouldnt be able to finish this even if you give me a month to do it... ARGG..WAT THE FISH IS IT IN HIDING THE TRUTH FROM THE BOSS!!!!...

With that, i made my blood pressure rise so high that i started to have a terrible headache... THE END..

Lalala... today i got the assignment of doing the Petty Cash In Charge thingy... Its so stressful when you have to deal with money payments. Especially with cash payments and cash passing here and there. If missing any money will be madness one wor... Then is ding ding ding liao...

I seem to be doing things that i have never expected to do in my working life in this new job.... Which is administrative work....something which i have always taken for granted. Like for example there would always be someone who would help me to do money claims and payments.. or someone who will be there to do my pay slips..hehe. I am so going to appreciate what others have done to make my life more comfortable in the future man....

Well... its finally friday today and i managed to scrape through three first days in my
new company. Hmm.... did the boss's son just walked out off his room just to spy on what was i doing mah??? Interesting...

I feel that this job will be a test of my knowledge and my ability to handle stress and
difficult situations such as when the is a computer failure.. I really hope that i will get
a chance to learn as much as it is possible in this company before i move on to another
company again.

Well.... its time now to let me do some fake typing on the computer. Well, its my third day at my new place now. So far so good. But it seems that my reporting manager wants me to report everything that i have done or happened to her everyday. Yesterday, i left on time cause there were no urgent matters that needs to be solved. Then hor, when i went to inform her that i was leaving, i sort of got a sianzz face reply. So i scarded that she was unhappy that i am leaving on time without finishing my work properly.

Well.... i am feeling kinda of stressed out in my work here. I think that i am giving myself too much pressure to be responsible for all the IT related breakdowns that have happened.
How come suddenly got so the many ppl klkking all over the place. Walking up and walking down and walking up and walking down over and over again... like what i was doing just now...

Wah liew eh... just now i go do something for some person, then i forget to minimise this notepad thingy.... then the person come here see my screen and then happily reading loudly to herself somemore.... lalala...

another wah liew eh... that person who read my this notepad thingy somemore still go and take my mentos cool chews from my table automatically wor.... dunno to happy or unhappy also....happy is that can gam gam with the person then can have one comarde in crime, unhappy is that i feeling that person not so powerful in the company... so is not a powerful allie.... and somemore that person is also new in the company like me, so nobody noes her well enough... but it seems like hmm.... lets wait and see lar...

I going to tender my resignation today... suddenly i have no bad feeling for this job... suddenly i feel that its not so bad working here... and suddenly i dun mind shifting from desk to desk...
Isit because i have been sitting on the boss desk for two days straight that i feel more secure. Or isit because i have become more confident of taking up calls.... handling ppl... or isit i am not getting alot of irritating ppl.... to ruin everyones life... Or isit because i am scarded that i cannot get another position somewhere else with this pay that they are giving me...i think that is the main main reason that i am scarded...Money money money money... everything is revolving around money these days...and i have yet to give the monthly payment to dad for the installment of the car...maybe maybe... I simply have no confidence in my abilities... and i doubt there would be anyone who would give me 1.8 again...Sianzz...
But i have already told my boss liao... so i can back out of this liao.... so i will have to learn to my fullest abilities the things that are around here....the things that i can pick up here...i shldnt regret my decision... everything about life is about decision.... if i always regret... how to move on.... just as how i didnt move on earlier while i was in SIA... made me have a lack of adequate knowledge in IT support skills.... so its right... i must move on... move on to another place where i would enjoy myself more throughly...to perform to the best of my abilities... okok... its decided... all uncertainthties would have to be faced with courage...!!! ONWARDS!!!
Wah... so fast wanna interview new ppl liao..... they strong ar....haiyah best..it for their own good also... they better get the infrastructure ready for the new person... otherwise mad again...

Thursday, January 06, 2005

Haizz... today is thursday....my 4th day of work at my new place...
Wanted to put in all my feelings that i had on the first day but was too depressed to do so...

Really miss all my friends at SIA... all the people that i knew... all the ppl that knew me...haizz
Didnt realise how much their companionship meant to me until the very last moment...its as what people says "You dont know what you have until you lose them, so treasure every moment that you have."

Well... speaking about my new place... well... its located in a bank in Suntec... dun think i will disclose the banks name in case i get caught...working as an onsite helpdesk analyst...sounds nice right...."Analyst".. which means to analyse things... yup... and i am so analysing at my workplace... analysing what the heck the caller on the line is thinking....

Everyday i keep on asking myself a few questions "Is this what i really want? Is this what i want to pursue... is this the line of work that would allow me to show my fullest potential..will i shine through like i always do when i am concentrated on my work?? Do i regret my decision to leave SIA at a moment like this? Did i really want to leave SIA? Do i really want to climb up the social and corporate ladder and to rise among the talents??" all these questions keep bugging my mind...haizz...

Long ago while i was in SIA... everytime i kanna from mike.. i would feel like leaving and just leave the work for others to carry... but everytime something would stop me... i think its because i dunt want my friends to get too overloaded... too stressed...too frustrated...so i have always been unable to be successful in my job interviews.. and if i were to be quite successful... so thing would happen and i would lose the job.... haha... its as though GOD knew of the promise that i made to myself that i would only leave after the whole project was over...

But now my heart keeps on telling me to just run away... find somewhere else to hide... this job doesnt suit me.... i am not liked...not welcomed... Its so bad that i feel that i would explode or breakdown anytime soon... I was telling myself a year back that my status in SIA would never move forward... i would never be promoted... there would never be a pay rise...and i want to move to somewhere else where i can be promoted or at least go up one or two levels.. i dunt ask for more nor aspire to become a CEO... i just want to be rewarded for my hard work that i have given to the company...

And now that i have landed in a place where the possibility to move forward.... to be able to be rewarded for hard work... a place where i might get some recogniation... a place where promotion is possible....and i AM NOT HAPPY.... Why am i not happy???

Isit because i dont have a desk that i can call my own.... isit because i dont even have a chair to sit on.... isit because i dont feel welcome to their group.... isit because everyone seems so powerful and skillful.... isit because i dont even get a proper briefing from my boss....nor a proper orientation.... isit because everything is so restrictive... isit because i cant speak my mother tounge to anyone... isit because i was lazying around too much in SIA though i worked as hard.... isit because i dont feel comfortable to new places, new people, new attitudes...isit because there seems to be a lack of belonging that i feel....

WHY AM I FEELING THIS???? I used to be able to adjust... i used to be able to accept changes like the clouds accept the wind... i used to be able to cope with learning new things... i used to be power orientated.... i used to like a challenge...WHY??? WHY?? WHY???

My friends keep on telling me that its going to take sometime before i get used to the enviroment... but how do you get used to an enviroment where there is no proper place for you to work on... no proper place for me to even store my bag nor my cup...my paper, my book, my pens...NO.... i have nonthing.... I finally understand how some of my friends felt during their first week at Sia... but thats all too different too....Sia didnt expect us to work like experts on their second day at work.... didnt expect us not to call ourself a newbie...didnt exert pressure and stress on us..... ARGG.... i feel so depressed..... i am so sinking into depression..... DEPRESSION!!!!... haizz... i better stop this before i become obsessed...... arggggg....

Friday, December 31, 2004

Well... its finally the day... the day that i would be leaving SIA. The day that i wanted a few months back and now i kinda hate wanting to leave.

Went around asking those ppl that i wanna give presents wether they were going to be around on friday so that i can pass to them the presents and informing them of my departure from the company... and i was so sad and surprising to hear how much they wanted me to stay... Sebbie talked to me and asked me why i didnt wanna stay and went on to say how i could be offered a perm position and some scholarship to further my studies...blah blah... Then Devi also talked to me saying sad ps had been feeling after being informed of my impending departure... then she als sy she very sad that i am leaving and asked me why i didnt wanna stay... and that if i continued until march.. it could have given ps ample time to do something for my situation. Then i replied saying that ps had already talked to me about it and that i would definately be back if the opportunity arises... and that the reason that i wanted to leave was that the project have been completed and that there wasnt any more tasks for me to do....Then she told me to relax.. after working so hard for so long.... then i said that if they had told me about their plans earlier, i wouldnt have decided to leave the company.... blar blar blar...hohhoho

After the conversation with devi, i felt so touched that there were so many ppl that actually cared and treasured my existence in the company and they would like me to be around much much longer...if i werent going overseas...hehe..

Then after i went back to my place to do some things... taichi man told me that james was looking for me.... so i was thinking die liao... got problem liao...hehe.. so i called him and he said that he was coming down to look for me.... then he said that he heard that i was leaving on friday and he thanked me for all the work i have done.. all the help and he gave me ten points for my work.... hehe.. feel so proud... nobody has ever graded me before for my work... first time wor... so touched...even james is thankful for my work... haizz...

Why must everyone wait until the last day to appreciate me and thank me for my work... if they had done it earlier... i wouldnt have been in a rush to go..... hohohoho.....

Well...time really flies and it has been two and a half years that i have been in the company working under the flag of SAP data migration..i really miss everyone that has left even though i didnt show it on my face... it was really rare for a big group of ppl with the same ideas, similar backgrounds, and gender to be together working together...still remeber the first time we worked OT we worked until 8pm checking SAMEIS printout.... hehe

I miss wendy, lanxi, shannon, jerlyn, zwin, sarah, siti, siewfong, doris, eslynn, cindy.....the times we shared together be it short or long.... be it best of collegues...or just plain friends..

Haizz... have been crying on the bus trips for this past week... dunno why i feel so sad this time now that i am leaving with no worries and that everyone else that i knew were gone.... dunno why... isit because i know that we would be together seperated and that our fate has ended now and today..... its like god is telling be to be thankful and that you would never step back into Sia for the rest of your life..... its true its true...!!!

ok lar... i need to end this now to give myself time to cry my heart out...and finish writing all the goodbye cards....bye bye!!!
