Relaxing Friday

29th Feb 2008,So fast its another week oredi.

It is good to start off our day feeling good and everything we touches on will be smooth sailing.

Well, I observed that most of the managers today looked very relax and complaisant. Coz no meeting ma...our Big Boss not in today that's why. Or else I will see some tends faces around or after the meeting some or their faces showing not too promising or sour sob. Well its only normal to sit in higher chair. Especially, seeing my boss today very at ease and happier. Wanna know why? Coz last friday's mtg not very pleasant lor. Buta....buta other people's fault my boss kena scolding. Poor fellow! Actually, due to one "siow jin". And that bitch get promoted to handle my boss failure of the program. Wah! I must salute her man. Her charms must be too good to be true.

But today, my boss said 12.00 noon ask me got things to eat. So I pointed to our titbits corner for some CNY cookies. He told us he was hungry...I replied him saying coz he is too happy and relax so hungry faster. He said too free coz no meeting. Everyone in our dept had a great laugh.

12.30pm the bell rang and its time for us to go for lunch. So happy always lunch time comes or teabreak comes I am very happy. Usually, Hong Hai Meng(my best pal)he is seated in front of me and my boss will go for lunch. Today, we went to BJC coz Hong Hai Meng wanted to exchange his CD. We ate at McD coz bcoz of me time of lent I cannot take meat during fridays ma so ma request to Fillet (fish bun) My boss belanja us. So kind of him. He is very kind wan but at times very geram when he cannot see certain people's fault and ended getting himself into trouble for sheltering those people. Other than that we have the "Greatest Boss In The Entire World". :)

I think I am so blessed to be in Process Engineering. All of us mind our own thing. Only me and my assistant are the only female around as we are surrounded by males species. Thank God for that. I hope it stays that way.

I'm enjoying my cup of hot coffee at my desk. Coz its so cold and comfy. Really nice. We normally dun have teabreak in the afternoon on fridays. Coz we already enjoy 2 hours lunch time. That's why lor! Thank God I manage to find a packet of coffee (3-1). Ooh! so good not so sleepy anymore.

Counting down my time to go back....another 45 mins. Hope this friday ends well! Looking forward to my weekend.

Into Someone Else's Shoes

28.02.2008- I write about putting ourselves into other's shoes meaning understanding how the other person feel when something unpleasant happens to them. I always put myself into other people's shoes as the old favourite saying.

But then...most times when I am affected by problems I feel I don't get the same response as I give unto people. Recently, being hit by some unpleasant experienced and its difficult for me to descript it out. Yes, people always say do good and you will receive good. I always does things with least expectation. I dun think its good to expect anything in return. Its good to reliase what goes around comes around. At least God gives me some hope to let that person feel how is it like to get hurt so badly. Being wrongly accused. Of course I don't hope for that but things just happens for a reason. I'm glad to tell that person, now you know how is like to be in my shoes.

If everyone were to have this practice sharing people feeling and putting yourself into other's shoes this world would be a better place to live in. But its not like that.

I am very sad actually to see people suffer on account of others. Yet they cannot do anything but to just eat the humble pie. Its happening in my organization.
Feeling helpless I really cannot do much.

Everyone Deserve the best in life

27.02.2008 went to pick Jessica my good friend up after work. She cannot tahan anymore going crazy oredi. Coz! staying home too long makes her crazy....not bcoz of family but feet too itchy dee. hahahah....gezzzz!

Something Funny Happen..relates to my boss's sms

Reach office at 7.15am. I guess I was the earliest. As the saying goes early birds catches the worm. I went into my office organised my stuff and listen to my walkman mobile for my favorite song. At about 7.30am my boss walked in. He said wah! why am I so early? Well, well coz outside our plant they are fixing the roads so need to grap a nice lot for me beloved car.

Being sick and tired of the canteen food, we had Tim Sum for breakfast. Yummy Yummy of course!. While eating my boss showed me the Toyota Production System write up he did and explain those things I have doubts especially the principles in japanese. They are explained in the book itself. Then, his phone rang...later he told me to help him send email out that he will be out of the plant for today for his father in law fell down and condition then was pretty bad. So he took emergency leave today.

See the funny thing in my company is that there are few ladies who admire my boss. Then something happen during my Project A Meeting which this story was related to me after my meeting by my production mgr (a lady). She said the Logistic & Planning Mgr (another lady/the bitch)showed her my boss sms to her. You know what? Not even a personal sms....its just informing some task need to overseas properly by few respective managers. They also wants to compete who has and who does not. Haiz! Funny as it may get. The production manager ask me why my boss took leave. So I told her that his father in law fell down lor. Then she said why my boss didn't sms her but sms to that bitch. I told her why don't she later give a call to him. Haiz....Haiz....I think this people nothing to do besides eat, sleep and gossip. That's why that bitch over look my customer's order for almost a month. Gizzzz! Terrible.....OPps! actually I'm not suppose to comment bad about people during month of lent. Excuse my bad manners.

Hmm.....so i just gave her an encouraging word that my boss had accidently send to the wrong person and happens they (2 ladies) whom happen to be my boss's admirer hahahaha....surname is OOI.....

I felt a little pity and sorry for them. This is another "Cheap Flick" for today. Hear .....hear....coming back to reality and serious topic on his father in law......
hope that his father in law will out live his fall and be well again sooner than he knows.

Honda "Power of Dreams"

13th Jan 2008...my friend Kelvin exchanged car with me. His car is of course a much better one then mine. Actually we were chatting over msn and I just jokingly asked him when can I have a ride in his new Honda Civic? He said lend you also can. Ya right! usually people would just say that and don't mean it. So I just pass and to my surprise I received a call from him asking me if the next day we exchange cars is possible? I said "huh...you really serious ar" and he said ya. I drove my Honda City to his office and we swap there. He said I could have it for 1 week wor. hahahahah....very trusting of him. But he is a very nice person. Very helpful and everytime I kacau him also he will attend to my needs.

Anyway, tell you the feeling in that car is super great! Wah! till now still imagine when lah can i afford this car lah. Everyday counting my way. But my car is like coming to 3rd year only. And I'm thinking of changing....die lah! Never mind....just work harder for more classes. heheheheh....for who knows when I least expect I get to change to my dream car.

See my requirement is very simple and not really high. I go for things that I can afford. I think that is fair lah. After all one must know how to enjoy ma.

This friend of mine is so good until he personally wash & polish my car for me. Aiyo! I'm so pai sei to let people lend me car put petrol and some give me money to put petrol for his car wor....he is very kind lah.

Thanks to Kelvin....I will always remember the nice experienced of his car and of course to a wonderful person like Kelvin.

My happening weekend started on Fri 22 till 25th

22nd Feb...took 1/2 day to attend an interview @ Vista Point. It was a great looking company but surprise to find out that they could not pay to my expected. Its a subsidiary of Flex. But they guy or rather uncle looking gentleman who interviewed me was rather nice. Well, I guess he had to for his staff made me waited for an hour. If its not better then where I am I just won't take the leap. The job he is offering me is actually a co-ordinator's job. I can do that job anytime if they pay me my expected salary or be reasonable with their salary lor. I see no point lah since they are so "Ku Hon". haiz! nvm lah...wait for another opportunity lah! Naturally we would want to upgrade from honda city to honda civic right or not?

Actually, now that I'm a little cool off from the friday incident. I can expressed out actually I sometimes don't understand my boss. He sided the logistic woman for not doing her job. This is not right I felt at that time. Being the second time around I couldn't take it anymore so i exploded lah!...Haiz! after thinking over I wrote back to appologize to my boss since he is still my boss i respected his decision. Dat night I met up with my yoga mates. One of my close friend, Tang Yee, told me...Andrea Tan you should not be harping on your unhappiness. Try to speak more positive out then you will receive more positive and attract more positive people in your life. OoH! I think her advised really prick me to reliase its true. So no matter what on Monday onwards...I don't wanna say bad about other people. The bad characters in my company I will just avoid them. I will just do what I'm suppose to do, other then that msn with my friends, update my blog and stay happy and positive all the time. Life is more meaningful this way. We were at Bagan for dinner after my class at Danz Club. Stayed to listen to Ross's beautiful voice singing Whitney Houston's numbers to entertain us.

23rd Feb 2008

We celebrated Lucy's belated b'day at Feng Wei Restaurant. Yummy! the food. Thanks Lucy for treating all of us. Love Ya!

25th Feb 2008
During b'fast my colleague Kim told me that on friday last their meeting with Dato turn up Dato walk out of the meeting room. B4 walking out he scolded my boss for he covers Operations and he has the managers under him so he should take all the responsibilities. Pity him also lah. But a part of me thinks that what he did to me reflects what his managers put him into trouble that makes Dato not so good perception on him. He is too trusting over his unperformer managers and don't know how to see who is supporting him all these while. I was a little disappointed in my boss. But not anymore....I feel I should stay firm on how I feel just do my task and enjoy my daily life. I received that bitch email, her staff wrote to me and my boss also reply to my appology email. I just read and put them a side. I don't want to take things so seriously from now on.
So i don't get hurt so easily by these people in my company. I mean I still have a handful still nice to me.

Live is short and temporary only in this world. So enjoy to the fullest.

This weekend is another happening week for me.

Customer draw back tooling

Todate...20th Feb 2008 @ 10am ...our long staying customer finally came to have a disscussion to take back their tooling from us. Due to cost factor. Now doing biz is not ez. Everyone is talking about cost reduction. Haiz! Well, its not really matter to be actually but as a loyal employee I feel for my company. This is one of the high runner for us. Now just bcoz the kid found its real parents they are taking it back. Naturally if u are human we will share some emotions.

Well, I tot my boss (PS) able to talk them back but cc in vain. Haiz! even my MD was in attendance but also can't do much. I use to look up to my MD as a smart and caliber individual although he has a funny character but recently I find that he is nicer when is not working time. I have been hurt by him many times. Due to my parents so close to he and his wife I always tell myself to tolorate. And show my ulmost respect to him. I am beginning to loose this feeling. Most people like "fong hei chor". This is scary if one wants to continue on in this company. What should I do next? Do I owe my company my loyalty and life? A lot to think for the future. 10 years yet status co....salary still not to my expectation. Very sad lor! Thank God for giving me another alternative..."yoga" (helps in my destressing, keeping fit and extra income) But I like his wife, auntie amy (more like a mother to me) kind, gentle and humble.

New Projects are getting hard to get these days...coz its so competitive. Will we face down turn and if we cannot secure new projects wif our cost being so high den slowly but surely sad to say we will be in deep shit.

I really love this company so much. But if the end is coming in my fore sight. I need to exculate to greener pasture. If anyone of my frens could help look around for me...I would really appreciate that.

Clubbing Overtime....

Lately dunno why feeling so stress and cannot even explain out. Yes day in/out I have classes and suppose to distress but cc cannot also. Thanks to my best fren Jess, she accompanied me to SS. There I release la....till the first time I had too much. Drank neat mainly. hahaha....terror hor! So, till my limits was up...i went to the toilet. My other fren Jo waited so long and wonder why I din come out from the toilet. Came to get me. Aiyo! never like dat b4 la. After throwing out I felt better. Thank God got these 2 frens to take care of me.

Next day feeling wind all over. When for a good massage. kekekeke!

Den the following week went again....followed by the next and the next......
Enjoyed the new band really good. Jess introduce some new frens to me. They are clubbing kakis also. I know people said most guys going to clubs are not good coz they fetch their target and dump them following morning. Well...I'm not afraid coz I feel I'm always safe with Jess. Hmm.....thanks Jess. You're the greatest. Cheers!
