Late Upset Problems...

Sorri guys if u plp r waiting for me to post some stories here, yet i hve not update any entries in the recent weeks...

Here is some things tat i wan to voice out, which is something i'm veri upset abt...

Viewing the punch cards of my departmental colleagues, if i am to compare abt late-ness, i am not the first, not the second, and not even the third... If tok abt absenting-for-almoz-everyday-in-the-month competition, i am not even qualify for tat...

To start the story...

I am late on Thursday, Friday & Saturday... I am a person, which i strongly feel for myself, will only once in a blue moon late... Yet, when i'm late for these three days... Plp r saying n hitting tis topic, on why am i late, why i should be late, i can't be late, i must not be late... Hitting tis topic for one day, i can pretend to be deaf... But hitting tis topic for three consectative days... I get veri frustrating...

Perhaps, now, after u read, u may say... "Of coz, u r late!!! Den u deserve to be hit by these judgement..."

Now allowed mi to explain why i'm late...
Recently, many huge jobs fall into my hands, which is deco on Shopping Malls, for Mid-Autumn Festival, Hari Raya, Deepavali, Christmas & Chinese New Year... In order to make the mall, looking impressively decorated... U need to deco it with ornaments... There is one whole-sale shop @ Concourse, tat ur company alias to purchase huge quantity of stuffs from them... In order to do deco-ings... I need to noe wat deco ornaments did the shop provide? I need to noe, wat colors they have? What sizes they hve? How these ornaments look like? How expensive is these ornaments? Dun expect mi, dunno all these things... Den superimpose on watever i like on the Mall... Till at the end of the day, Boss disapprove it on how tat Mall is decorated... Coz using too much expensive stuffs... Den need mi to redo the thing again at lower budget... Double work rite!

So on Thursday, i wake up, two hours earlier den i normally wake for work... To make my way to Concourse wif Sales colleague... We went into the shop, and tat person-in-charge, starting chatting wif us, and selling watever items he hve... He is long-winded.. Talk alot, and i didn't noe tat he can drag us for so long... By the time he finish, the other shops in Concourse, mostly closed shop liao... And after tis concourse trip, by the time i reach company, of coz i'm late...

When we get out of the shop, finishing the questions tat we wan to ask... We make ur way to see other shop... And there is one shop tat we see, selling cool-looking lanterns... But the shop is closed, and we wan to noe the price for the lantern etc... Same thing applied when we walk passby some other shops... The shop r closed... But from the window panel... We see they got sell some things tat i will like to ask them abt...

So, on Friday, i wake up earlier oso, make my way to concourse myself, to visit the shops, to ask price, to take photos, to get namecard etc... After all these, den i make my way to office... And again i'm late...

On Friday, i work till the next day early morning 8am... By rite... I need to come into office at 1pm... But for three consectative nitz... I dun sleep enf liao... Tat why, i didn't come in at 1pm on Saturday...

These r the reason why i late for the three days... And i'm the person tat rarely late... Den out of sudden i'm late during these three days... Plp start saying & questioning, why i am late? why should i be late? I can't be late! I muz not be late! Nitz shift plp nowadays hve no government, like to come wat time, den come wat time! I hve urgent job now... He need to be here... I hve client coming down... He need to help mi wif the client... TIS IS SO ANNOYING!!!

I am not late, be coz i go to Concourse to drink Kopi, or i go Concourse for love dating... I go there for work related stuffs... Tat why i'm late... I am human, not superman (Tis is how my production crew always call mi)... I can help to do as many things i can... But at certain point in time... I still need sleep... During army days... I can sleep as princely as 12 hours per day, and i still find it insufficient... Now, going in working society... Everyday, i juz say i sleep minimum 6 hours...

For tis topic... Hearing all those remarks, i felt veri internal bleeding... So i call to my GM on Saturday evening to speak up... Hearing wat i hve to say, she more or less noe wat i'm trying to say to defend myself... Hope she can help mi to defend mi in the morning from any inconsiderate comments...

----------------------------------------------------------


On Saturday, again i got wake up from endless calls... Asking mi to come to office now, coz they hve client waiting for mi now... Den i say, okie lah... I wake up now... At tat time, it is 2pm... I sleep at 10:30am, wake up at 2pm...

It is a client from the Zoo... Tis is not the first time i met her... She is quite a nice person to chitchat wif... She need to make some amendments to the artwork tat i proofed for her last night... Tat is why i need to be there to help her to do the changes...Tis is my second time meeting her... My first time impression given to her, is like a well-mannered guy... Meeting tis time, she find mi like super polite oso...

While waiting for mi to come out from another round of re-proofing... She tok to mi, abt a junior guy tat she juz hired to be her assistant... And she find tis guy too ya-ya (Arrogent)...

Tis person juz work for less den a month... Den he hve the cheek to tell her, her skills n software is facing out... Need to upgrade... While conducting a meeting wif their Art director, she herself is jotting down the key points in her notebook, yet tat ya-ya guy juz sit there, fold his arms to listen... After the meeting... She ask him... "Well, why dun u take out pen n paper to jot down the details? Can u remember everything..." Tat ya-ya guy answered, "Of coz... So tat is the standard of the Art director... Looks like i can oso be Art director soon..." She said, at tat time, they r at Clark Quey... Hearing tis, she had great desire to push tat guy down to swim along the Singapore River... She said, for many times, she ask him to do things... And when he completed, he always bypass her to submit to the higher management, without showing her the artwork first... For many times, she need to speak out fiercely to order him to do things... And at times, when his work is rejected, he felt upset... Den tis lady, she say she sms him, "Life is like tat, dun take it too hard... blah blah blah..." Den tis ya-ya guy reply her, "Life shouldn't be like tat... Blah blah blah some unfriendly words here..." She showed mi the message tat tis ya-ya guy sent to her...

Wow... One great paragraph on top... When she was telling mi all tis... I am tinking, why r u telling mi all these... In between her conversation, she had asked mi two times, if i hve any artwork portfolio to show her now... Coz she find mi noe-ing color management skills, which will be an added advantage to work wif her... Den i ask her back, "Are u trying to dig mi over... Monica will kill mi if she finds out..."

So after the blah blah story chatting... And i finally done wif one option, which she approved on the color for the actual printing... She abt to make her leave... She still dun give up... Wan to ask for my handphone number... My brain "1..2..3" for a moment... Den i say okie to give her... She oso stuff her handphone number to mi, ask mi can always call her to get free Zoo tickets if i wan to come to zoo... I am like Haha at tat time...

The impression tat i hve for zoo, is smelly... Second last time to zoo, is before i enlisted to army... Gone there wif JiaXiong, XiaoYing & Fengyi... And at tat time... I find the zoo... wow... So smelly... Yikes...

The last time there, is during army days, which we need to go there for a run... The impression i get, is still smelly... Haha... Give mi free tickets to zoo huh... Haha...

The Click...

Finally...
I watch one good movie for tis year round liao...

I remember the last two movies tat i watch during July and tis month... Damn disappointing... "Dragon Tiger Gate" & "My Super Ex-Girlfriend"... Both i gave them a rating of B onli...

I heard wonderful reviews from the Yes933 DJs... So i'm rather looking forward for tat movie, My Super Ex-Girlfriend... However, after watching it... I'm rather disappointed by how the story is made, and how the story ended... Somehow, for such an interesting idea, it shouldn't be made and sqeeze into onli a one and a half hours movie... It can stretch to two... In order to add more scenes inbetween... The ending is bad oso...

Haiz...

Yup, regarding the good movie tat i mention... Is CLICK...
Actually... My group & i r juz finding some things to do for the nitz... Either movie or KTV... So we went to cathay to see which movie available... And we found tis movie, n decided to go for tis...

Initially i'm still tinking if tis is a lame laughing movie... But it turn out tat i'm wrong... Somehow, tis movie is veri educating for working adults... It educate plp, dun always placed ur work as first priority in ur life... Always spend quality time wif ur family... Otherwise u may feel regret when u grow old... The movie, until the ending part, show how regretting Michael Newman (Starring Adam Sandler) is, on how hard he tried to win back his ex-wife... However till the end, Michael Newman's lifespan ended... Before he died, he passed a tissue paper to his ex-wife, written "Will u still love mi in the morning?"... Tis is something tat they done during their first hot date, which happened thirty years ago... His ex-wife got very touched, and replied wif the same reply, "Forever ever Babe..." Until the veri last part, the rain, the sobbing son & daughter, the almoz die-ing Micheal, and the forgiving ex-wife... I felt so touching at tis moment...

Tis is one movie, tat u wun noe how good it is, by juz watching its trailer... I watch the trailer, but somehow, it dun spell out the good words tat tis movie should hve...

Watch it, and u will noe how good tis movie is...
Rating A+ from mi...

BBQ Event On National Day, And Pls Pray Hard For Mi...

I muz admit i hve gone lazier n lazier to make my blog entries liao... Sometime, i hve some fresh hot stuffs to tell, yet i fail to update it immediately on tat day... Coz i feeling sleepy, and wan to go to sleep more den anythings else... Haha...

Tis week wednesday, on National Day... Ur company organise an BBQ event AGAIN at EastCoast... Hmmm... Not really a company event coz Boss is not involved in tis BBQ at all... It's a BBQ tat we organise urself, and the Sales colleagues will be paying entirely themselves for watever spent during tat day... Coz, for tis year NDP, i muz admit, we made a fabulous victory when compare wif the previous year... Previous year is like everything crop up... Tis year is like everything goes smoothly, and we clinched more deals den last year... Tat is why we own plp organise tis BBQ to hve fun on tat nitz...

Since i mentioned we own plp organise tis BBQ... Those tat r not invited to tis BBQ, means we dun really click well wif tat person... Perhaps, 90% of the plp there dun wish him to turn up... Coz if we invite him, it turn up tat watever we talk during the nitz... All sounds so fake liao... Spoiling the mood...

For those tat noe, abt the smart alec tat i mentioned in last entry... Somehow, he done many things tat made plp eye sore... I wonder how many plp is talking bad abt him at his back now... Some of the new Sales colleagues... Somehow they find suckie talking to him, and pass their stuffs to mi during the nitz to do... Meaning more work load for mi, which i find is not right... His atitude has gone funkie, which made WS oso angry abt him...

1) On one day, he went out for lunch for 3 hours... And later we find out tat we went for an interview... Tats y it took him three hours for his "lunch"... After noeing tis... Ken is damn angry abt tis... WS oso felt such actions is too much liao...

2) Two days later, at ard 2++pm... He suddenly pack his bag, punch his card and go off... WS is surprised to see tis, ask him if he's leaving now... He replied he had an appointment and need to leave now... Nobody noes if he actually apply for an urgent half day leave for tis leaving anot...

3) Last month, on some nitz, new Sales colleagues, ask mi to do some stuffs for them, which adds up the pile of jobs tat i need to do for the nitz... I ask them why didn't update smart alec before hand, so tat he will arrange them to be fallen into my hands... They say they dare not ask him... Coz now ask him do stuffs, is like oweing him millions of dollars like tat...

4) Few days ago... Cheryl came asking mi to do some stuffs at nitz... Which she highlighted she nearly engage a fierce quarrel in the afternoon... She ask the smart alec to give her the measurement... Den the smart alec replied her... "You sales do really understand wat u r toking abt anot...??? I can't stand the nonsense tat ur plp r saying... blah blah blah (Later parts which Cheryl told mi... forget liao)"... Cheryl came to mi the previous nitz... Asking mi to give her the measurements... I gave her, but apparently she need more precious measurement on some areas... SO she ask smart alec to give her on the other day afternoon... And tats the answer she gets back... OMG... Apparently the artwork tat smart alec done for her, is not in correct ratio proportion... But he got one side actual measurement... Which he can based on tat measurement to find a ratio percentage, so tat he can based on tat ratio percentage to estimate other length measurement... He fail to see tis, thus fire blasting Cheryl... Haiz...

5) There is one day tat WS is veri angry abt... Smart alec sit there, kick his leg and engage on a phone call for more den one hour... When there's lots of stuffs running at tat time... WS is veri angry on tat day, saying tat he tink himself is boss, kick leg chitchat phone calls huh... Laura see him so free... Thus pass him one veri urgent job which needs to go out tmr morning... Passed to him in the morning... Can spent forever time doing until i came, passed to mi to do... It's two huge banners, which need sewing... And he still hvn't finish the colormatching... And expect mi to finish it... The concern here is tat, by the time i done the colormatching... By the time i finishing printing... Is there still got production crew to help mi to the sewing... Stupid right, to drag one job until so late, and expect mi to pick up the rubbish... Muz do everything fast and send for printing, before i can even go off for my meal... Haiz...

6) Previously, we r saying Manager becoming the serving net receptionist... Now he is slowing joining the team... Haa...

Today, or Monday, may hve some things happening... Allow mi to sit on my chair to watch the chain of events happening...

Veri soon, i will be posting some good news abt mi here liao... Do wait... Pls pray hard for mi...

Devil Inside Me...

Looks like it is a norm tat plp tends to get lots of troubles when they get to work in the outside world... Coz in the outside world, u no longer is the ultimate prince & princess in ur own world liao...

Sometimes, i will do some analyze my situation wif my frenz... Den i find mine is actually less trouble, as compare to them... Perhaps i dun hve female bossy boss screaming at mi... I dun hve irritated manager from other department, asking mi to do his job first wif priority... I can smack back wif a NO to whoever air-con plp tat i find, they r trying to get an advantage on mi... Blah blah blah...

Last 2 weeks ago, on weekends, i'm veri angry on some arrangements tat the smart alec planned for mi n my partner... So angry tat i called back to him on Sunday, to scold scold scold... On Tuesday, my flame is ignited again... And i call back to him to scold scold scold...

Things tat r passed to mi to handle... I will make sure i handle them entirely well... I wun do half way, and passed to someone to followup, to sabo him... I will make sure i do everything entirely well...

Juz like the NDP Decos for the 4 shopping centers job... Since i do the job from the start... I will do everything myself... And not sabo-ing other plp... Coz even i ask plp to follow up... There is always the risk of tat person dun understand some bit n pieces infomation, den do the wrong things... For tis job... I even hve to go back office to do misc paper works during Saturday & Sunday, n i can't believe tat the smart Alec dare to ask mi to help him do unfinish stuffs, since i'm in office... Not say i am heartless... I came back during Sunday, is becoz i hve stuffs to do... Not happy go lucky come back office to drink coffee... And u hve the chick to ask mi do stuffs, when tat thing may spend mi 4 hrs of more to do... Indeed he is simply skin too itch to ask a scolding from mi...

Like wat i say in my second paragraph... Perhaps now i dun hve the intense trouble tat my frenz r facing... I oso dun hve some things tat i wan to hve now...

I dun hve the time to find a GF...
I dun hve the charm to find a GF...
I dun hve driving license...
I dun hve the courage to be a bad guy...

In order to achieve these things... I am slowly starting wif my plans... Why? Coz i am a evil person... I hve a devil living inside mi, which is always controlling my mind...

I can be a good frenz... But i can't be a good colleague... Clever plp should understand wat i am trying to say here liao...

Last month, i got two of my grand tenders awarded (40 000 peanuts above)... Nose long long...
Tis month, i submitted one, the other coming soon... Hope i get those tenders oso... Den my nose can long long again... Haha... Juz joking...
