All the events are packed up one after another... After our Auction event, we had to move to our new office, after moving, we have the Singapore Open, and we are having a few overseas roadshows. First was to KL, next will be Hong Kong and Jakarta. After that, I'm not sure where else are we going.
Been so hetic trying to get all the necessary items, brochures, etc ready, and liasing with the different suppliers to sent the delivery in time for the freight, and tryin to get in touch with the different freight companies.
I'm tied up to my neck with these things... And for the first time, I begin to start work with a cuppa cafe mocha. And getting more and more irritated by the same colleague I mention. I'll call her M from now on.
Well, Tuesday was a pretty normal day... Arranged to meet a friend for dinner, meeting at 630pm HarbourFront Bus interchange. So if I take the shuttle out at 615pm, will be just in time.
At 6pm, my OFFICIAL off duty time, I started packing my stuffs. Den M came and tell me, "Lynn, don't tell me you are goin off already? I've to teach you how to open up a new file for the filing system." WHA PIANG! Then I said, can't I do it tomorrow? It's very simple, I've done it before to open volume 2 for existing file. Then she say, tomorrow WHOLE day I won't be around, will be at the main office.
Then... She bagus, go and get my manager loh, so no choice, gotta stay and learn. And made me miss my bus! And guess how long I took to master it? Less than 1 min. I miss my stupid bus by exactly 1 min.
Does she think I got the IQ of a 1 year old? And the next morning, guess what? She appeared in front of me. FEEL like giving her a tight slap!
Anyway, met my fren and we went to a hawker centre near redhill mrt for dinner. I had Satay Beehoon. It was pretty nice, especially the squid. Its not rubbery. It cuts into 2 when you jus bite into it. Very nicely done.
Today... Again, busy with settling some issues with supplier, getting artwork done, getting approvals, etc... Sigh... Then my male manager became angry with me. FOR NOT doing his part of the work. Well, I'm suppose to report to both my male and female managers, so gotta do both their work lah... But my female manager side is all the marketing issues and everything needs to be in a rush cause of the tight deadlines. He felt its very unfair. Even emailed my female manager bout it. So now, its gonna be morning, I do the marketing work, after lunch, it'll be all the filing work.
I guess my male manager has been brainwashed by M. My female manager told me, the previous girl's job scope was mainly to help the marketing, only when she doesn't have much to do, then she help him with the filing. Even my designation is Marketing Support Assistant loh! Marketing!!... Not Filing...
I told him that I'm busy with liasing of the freight cause there are 3 different countries we are having roadshows. Then he told me that M said she's the one who's doing all the liasing. So why am I doing it! Wha, I almost screamed!!! I told him, NO! I've been the one doing all that! And he believes her more, cuz he repeated what M had told him.
Argh!!! I think the fengshui at my new office got some problem... Need to see what I can do to improve. I have no problems with other colleagues. ONLY M!
Tomorrow I resolve, NOT to TALK to her; unless absolutely necessary.
Well, I believe in karma. What goes around, comes around...
After the auction last Friday, I found out the highest bidder is a Pink IC holder, who stays in a hotel. Yup, the address stated is a hotel room, and she had bid for 2 plots of land! I wish I'm her.... or maybe become her god-daughter. HAHAH... dream on....
Anyway, life was terribly busy for me after that busy friday... Monday, Tuesday I had to finish packing up all the files in the office.... consisting of 12 2-door cupboards, with 4 shelves all packed up with files! Had to help my pregnant manager to pack her stuffs too... All in all I had to pack up over 60 carton boxes!
Wednesday the movers came in at 9 am to slowly move... So our table was only left with PC and some paper work to be done.
After the movers finish moving all the boxes, I stayed behind with my other manager to unpack some of the cartons which has all the files...
Thursday my other colleague went earlier in the day to the new office to try to clear up and clean up the office... In the early evening, all of us went over when the movers came to move our PCs and other final working stuffs.
We had to wipe the desks and try to unpack as much as we can as Friday is the auspicious day we start work at the new place. I stayed behind till 2130 with my manager to pack and unpack. At least there aren't as much boxes lying around my desk.
Friday... The day we start operating from the new office at Arrival Plaza, in Sentosa Cove itself. The bosses said to start work only from 9am onwards, so we weren't allowed to on the PC prior to that. So all of us just sat around and chatted. Then around 10 i think, we were told a simple "opening" ceremony will begin and we are to hold a cup of water in 1 hand and something from the office eg. file in another. We were told there will be a bigger opening ceremony when the shopping area is more filled with activities. Then my big boss walked through the ribbon at the main door way and all of us follwed suit. We had a small buffet from Delifrance, and some Old Chang Kee curry puffs, yam cake, chicken wings, fish balls and cakes from Polar. Had a really good meal. LOL...
After eating and chatting, we started working. Sigh~ I really want to complain! I'm sooo busy with my work, yet my other colleague very the not automatic one... Still dare to come and ask me to help her put HER files into the cupboard. Wha piang! She's in charge of those files and yet still come and "ask" me... It more like ordering me to do it. I'm not even under her. Our working relationship is, I cover her duties when she's not around and vice versa. But I doubt she'll cover mine when I'm not around.
Stupid woman.
And coming week is the Barclay's Singapore Open 2006. I'll be helping out at the booth for 2 or 3 days, and she's suppose to be covering my duties loh. Think she'll do it? I DOUBT IT! Sigh... And my weekend is gonna be burnt.
Saturday I woke up at 12 noon! Was sooo tired... Wanted to go out shopping but ended up jus stayin at home and watching tv the whole day.
Sunday afternoon I had to deliver 2 models from Sentosa Cove to Shangri-La Hotel. So I had to travel to Sentosa, meet the delivery person, go to the other end to our container where the model is kept, den head to the hotel. And the security was damn tight... So many police officers around as there was some ministers in the building. Took more than 45 min to manage to get to the ballroom where our exhibition booth is located. After settling everything, I took a cab to orchard, then sent my phone to repair.
For the 2nd time, the phone has the same problem. I think this will be my last clamphone. The image went blank when i open up the flip. Lucky the warranty's still there. I think I waited for more than 1 hour before I manage to see the CSO. Watched the whole Mr Bean cartoon series that's being shown.
After I settled my phone, I walked over to Takashimaya's Kinokuniya Book Store. Browsed a few books on crystals, and I bought a book on Tarot. Well, been neglecting my cards lately.. gotta start bonding with them soon....
Another week passed, another week's here... Another weekend coming, another weekend burned. Hopefully something interesting will happen at the S'pore Open! Hee... Maybe will get to see some of the rich and/or famous people.
