choices, choices, choices. so many different roads, which one should i choose? what shld i do?
it's always like these. when i've sort of, more or less, made a decision alr, another alternative comes along and messes with my mind. and then when im still deciding, more choices come along. and then i've no idea what to do alr... i need to find my advisor la. haha. but usually, i know that i've an answer in my heart. just that, im always afraid that my heart's answer might be the wrong one. i need reassurance.... sometimes, i wished i had a little more courage.
anyway. my cough has subsided. thank God for that. though im still having a "runny" nose. pls dnt ask me to catch my nose back like what someone did. haha. there are quite a few pple sneezing in the office, cos the office is sooo cold! one sneezing in front of me, another one behind me.. im "under attack" ah. haha.
what a week it has been...
anyway, have been rather busy at work, but still enjoying it. days passed faster when you're busy. 3 more weeks and school starts already. my last semester... hope it will not be one crazy "roller-coaster ride" semester..
sometimes, i wished i had a time-machine, to fast forward the down times, and replay the good times. but then, i know, every thing that happens, is a learning process. it is what that makes you grow. and i know that God will be there with me. and my friends too, as always.
had a good lunch tdy. went with 3 of my colleagues (all frm HR dept) to eat at a restaurant called 莆田 at Marina Square. the lunch was paid by the company. think it's some thanksgiving lunch or whatnot la. so we choose the place, we eat the food, they pay the bill. haha. so shuang right. i've only started work for around 2 wks, and got company lunch treat already. HAHA. had a nice time talking and joking with my colleagues over lunch, we laughed alot la. they can be really humorous. the things they say, their expressions when describing their stories and whatnots.
and i guess, when we are all so giggly, whatever you say is also funny.
my manager, hwee shu: xiao mei, how's yr 'chang mao'? ('chang mao' is lemon-grass in hokkien/teochew. i was eating lemon-grass jelly with fruits)
me: ..nt bad
colleague, sharon: you shldnt ask like that lor, shld ask "is your 'chang mao' DESSERT nice?" ... you suddenly say "how's your chang mao?" sounds so.... you know~...
and we all started laughing. laughed until my face so hot la. hahaha. (ok la, maybe you dnt get it. but nvm. haha. cos of the previous things they were saying, makes whatever that was said in this 'chang mao' conversation sound very funny)
i was uploading a newly submitted resume into the system tdy and i was super amused by the candidate's particulars. haha. the candidate's name is.... Ronald W. Macdonald. NO KIDDING! really! i thought i see wrongly la. and and, the address (overseas one la. cos foreigner mah.) is.. Cherry Lane. like, what?? cherry lane?! i mean, it's quite possible that there is such a street name overseas la. but you know. the idea of the name and the address just makes me feel super amused. and for a moment, i even wonder if the person is trying to be funny.. my colleague, anne, said "for all you know, maybe he's really related to the Macdonalds person ah.." [of cos she meant the person who started Macdonalds.. not the guy with 2 big feet and red hair. haha]
work has been quite good so far. the pple are funny and nice. and it gets more interesting as i start to hear more abt the inside news of the office. i guess they have no qualms abt telling me the "office politics". cos afterall, im a temp mah. haha.
and i still am amazed at how fast the days just go by. everyday i wake up at like 6.30am, feeling groggy and all, den wash up, go to work. and before i know it, a day is over alr. amazing hor? i guess when you're kept busy, time will fly like nobody's business.
haha. i'm a little amazed at how fast this week has passed. i guess when you're busy with something, time will just fly.
the office that im working in isn't really that big. it's kind of like a open concept [think teachers' room. it's smthg like that] there are 2 or 3 different depts all together. so like, on my left is my HR Executive, on my right [in a room] is my HR manager. behind me are the Finance people, in front of me are the Admin/Document Control people. yeah...
well, work has been not bad so far, i got to learn a few things from my colleagues. im glad that this temp job isn't some no-brainer temp job whereby you just see and type without using your brain..haha. so, im working at the HR dept. and there are only 3 people in the HR dept, including me. my colleagues are quite nice too. they're patient in teaching me all the stuffs. oh, and one of them is my senior. haha. she was from ngee ann poly too. i think she probably graduated a few years already, maybe before i even went into ngee ann.. [i've no idea how old is she la.. maybe late 20s/early 30s] but she is in the banking and finance course. and, we were both taught by ms koh for economics before too! haha. so coincidental.
so far, i would say that i enjoy doing this temp job even though i have to wake up quite early everyday [which is why im feeling tired everyday..] it feels kind of different from the other previous working experiences that i had. well, on monday everyone will be having a meeting together. think the Document Controller personnels want to brief us on some system procedures or smthg. cool. haha.
so, i've started my temp job today. and i must say, i like the view from the office window! i'm working at the 44th flr la, and the view is really nice. reminds me so so much of shanghai!!
done lots and lots of typing today. i think for the rest of the month, it will be like this too. i have a tiny feeling that my eye degree is going to go up by the end of this temp job.. haha.
first day of work, and im feeling a little tired already. hehe. but i guess i'll get used to it soon. gota go slp soon. the time that i've to wake up to go to work is even earlier than the time i have to wake up to go to sch la.. gdness.
