11:44PM - BITCH...
my new boss who has been around for only 1wk is damn eager
to prove herself without understanding the culture in PUB and
how things work ard here...
so far in almost 3yrs there i only broke down once cos that time
a notorious director yelled at me for nothing.. and today i broke
down once again... cos i was under alot of stress this week and
my new boss was a bitch...
i had to prepare press release, factsheet and faq for an event
tmr... and was told to do only on tue... and had to invite media
and all... i spend a few nites till 1-3am churning out those stupid
things... and all the eager beaver wanted to do was to score pts
with the bosses... new mah... but she forgot to build up her r/s
with her own ppl first and build her network b4 starting to be so
aggressive...
she had so many questions to ask abt so many things.. fine she
is new.. ok... but she wants answers like quick quick quick.. i m
not a walking encyclopedia or sth... certain things i have to
consult other colleagues from other dept b4 i can get an answer
so the whole wk i was searching for answers to her question..
as and when she suddenly thot of a qn she will drop an email..
after she is satisfied... she will come back a chase me for the impt
stuff which obviously i din have much time to do cos i put most of
the time searching for answers to her irritating qns...
she chase me via email... communicator... and even walking over
blardy idiot... i need reaction time too... damn impatient
the last straw came when she said that i should be doin the rsvp
instead of our corporate support officers... hellooo this is their job
can... and my other corporate support officer who does media
rsvp for the longest and she is very very good at it offered to call
the diff newspapers and all jus to confirm...
so that stupid woman was chasing me upside down for the updates
on which media gonna go down and i told her that my colleague is
gonna call and gimme the updates... and she told me.. "Dawn u
need to do sth... you cant jus expect Guan Li to it"... but all along
that colleague has been the one doin... that is one of her core job
function... and they way she said it was quite curt and she was
implying that i m not doin my job.... hellooo who wrote the press
release... who wrote the factsheet .. who wrote the FAQ... MEEEEE
she insisted that i call the media centres after office hour... call den
call lor... i tahan...
den after that she gave me that kinda pep talk like i should learn
and watever.. den she ask.. you have neva done this before.. i gave
her a "YA" in my black and TL face...den i looked away... watever
she say i jus ya ya ok ok ....
not gonna stoop to her level... she doesnt know wat i have done
in pub... this kinda simple things she think i cannot do... plsss ..
and she oso dunno how wide my network is in pub.... nvm i tahan
but i can tell you since she wanna show her capability she can
show all she want... but well... she can do it all the way from scratch
not gonna help her in anyway.... she jus triggered the evilness in
me and she is sooo gonna get it in due course... jus wait and see
Current mood: 
pissed off

Current mood: 
pessimistic
1:06AM - HOT DATE WITH YANG....
went on a hot date with the goat today and he was very late :P but lucky
i was smart enough to sense that he will be late so turn up at the meeting
place at 8.10pm instead of the agreed time of 7.45pm.
decided to call and see if the goat was.....
dawnut: hellooo... where are you? lost ah?
yang: hahaha... i got story to tell you
dawnut: (thinks)confirm lost!
dawnut: what story? i knew you will be late!
yang: no lah i gave my colleague a lift back home to yishun den another
one to sengkang... the sengkang one told me a short cut to amk but i
ended up at a dead end
dawnut: (laughing hysterically) HAHAHAHAH...where are you now?
yang: somewhere on SLE
dawnut: pls dun end up go back woodlands!
for the next 15min dawnut became live gps system and directed yang
safely to the agreed destination.
dawnut brought the deprived yang (who has been surviving on cup
noodles and thinks he is getting fat and hanging ard the shipyard with
uncles who chiong at nite clubs and banglas who will neva be interested
in him) for some hawker fare at the S11 at amk central... the greedy
twit ordered so much food.... (-_-)"
the first time after 6yrs we met was for lunch at bk with cindy a few
weeks back but somehow we could not remember why we decided to
meet and how we started chatting on msn.... we were pretty close back
in jc days... and we were trying to recollect how come we were so close
in jc... hahaha we cant even remember wat happen like a few wks back
how to remember wat happened 6yrs ago??? The only thing we could
remember after spending the evening together was that we were the
president and vice president of the single's club...hahaha.. and yes...
after 6yrs we have finally revived the club ...
den yang's sidekick brian came along to settle some insurance policies
and goodness... he was worse than woman lor... nagging at yang over
the phone for not returning his miss call instantaneously .... faint!! and
he made us walk over to mcdonalds to discuss the stuff cos he say very
unglam to do at coffee shop..=P anyway hang ard until abt 1130 den yang
gave me a lift home...
now to continue drafting my 2 factsheets and FAQ.... sigh....
Current mood: 
tired

11:47PM - TO THE ZOO
brought my family to the zoo today... it was a replacement for
last wk when i worked during family day... i remember that
when i was young, my parents used to bring me to the zoo
every year... until some point it stopped... since den i think i
haven been to the zoo until this yr.... which i had to go many
times bcos of family day site recce =P
anyway there wasnt anything much... jus the usual suspects
minus ah meng and the white tigers that were hidden away..
so it was more like a work out session walking round the zoo
for 2hrs... but thank goodness the weather was not too hot..
and i tell you the zoo was damn crowded!! cos got 2 family
days happening at one time... nea one and vasantham... and
i tell you the whole zoo smelt like indian food!! the 印度人s
were at every corner.... and my dad tot it was deepavali
holiday!!!... faintz...
i din manage to take any photos cos no nice background or
anything worth taking a pic with...
so this was how i spent my sunday.... but good thing i m on
time off tmr!! yeahhhhhhh

10:35PM - BURGERLICIOUS!!
decided not to go for yoga class today and jus rot at home...
realise that mum and dad had to attend a wedding dinner so
decided to cook for my sis and myself... so in the afternoon
after lunch... went to ntuc to see wat kinda inspiration i can
get ....
and this was wat i whipped up! Beef burger with egg, cheese
and bacon!! btw, i didnt buy ready made patties (if there are
such things)... i made them myself =P
i think it is quite yummy.. hahah..

12:17PM - BUG OFF??
after much observation... i realise that THAT guy keeps playing
the disappearing act... like i said i m no baby sitter and i dun
wanna play aunty agony either... be it acquaintances, friends or
whoever... if you take me for granted like i m there at your
disposal 24/7.... jus bug off pls... well i cant be sitting there and
guessing what you are thinking or what exactly you wanna do..
i m not a mind reader ....
really cannot say bad things abt ppl.... everytime i do that i will
receive his msn msg... watever...
i really appreciate ppl like keong, sua, mond etc etc who really
show that they appreciate things that i do... even a simple
thank you from them lets me feel their sincerity... and for someone
who sets friends as quite high up in the priority list, it is really
disheartening when you see that they take you for granted...
anyway... i hope no one tries to 'activate' the evilness in me
cos i think i have been really patient so far...

10:02PM - MUM'S GOT A NEW HYPOTHESIS
she used to say that the reason why i m single is bcos i m too choosy..
this morning as i tried to rebuke that i m not choosy but rather there is
nothing to choose from... she has decided to use an alternative
reasoning...
now she says that its my attitude... attitude of being garang and taking
the lead .... so i told her that is CHARACTER... not attitude.. how to
change? and she oso said that bcos of these.. all the guys that hang ard
me are like my jie meis... which i dun disagree... i m like their nanny,
aunt agony, etc etc like wat wb says i give the vibe that i know everything
and i m the person to look for when you have a problem.. great (-_-)"
so i reassured her that even though i remain single for the rest of my life
i will still provide for her... but she says cannot cos i will turn into a crazy
spinster... so after some thot i told her... ok if by 40 i m still unwanted
mayb i will jus hook up some ang mo... den she say cannot... cos i m not
the type ang mo like... their taste abit weird one...
good thing i had to rush off for yoga... so zoomed off in a flash.. =P

4:16PM - FLOATING AROUND....
i dun really know how to describe the feeling now... but kinda feel that
i m floating around not knowing where to land....
sometimes things happen when you least expect it... at the weirdest
time and all... mayb i have been la la-ing with me, myself and i for the
last 1.5yrs .... and getting quite used to that fact actually... it feels kinda
weird to think otherwise....
well i usually blabber off quite freely abt my expectations on how my
potential other half should look... my buddies should know.. cos its quite a
typical bimbo description! hahaha.... its my favourite tagline but i dun
really mean it lah... u all know lah horr... to be honest.. pleasant looking
to me will be good... i mean you gonna look at the person for the longest
and of course the chemistry and frequency etc which is much more impt
but now someone who more or less fits into my bimbotic description is
jus there b4 me.... although i m still trying to ascertain if he is overly nice
as or he is interested.... while i m still trying to figure that out... i m oso
grappling with fact that someone like that will actually appear before me..
well i m jus quite average.. not ultra gorgeous nor voluptuous... oso not
very happening... it's like why me? perhaps i m jus 'another girl' in the
radar? given his standard i m sure he wont have any problem getting
someone prettier and all...
okok i know you all will say dun think too much and jus let it come
naturally.... but it is quite hard ok... esp when it is sth unexpected and
catches you totally off guard!
okie i have said what i wanna say.... now will jus see wat happens...
Current mood: 
weird

9:52PM - A BREATHER AT LAST!
i am SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad that the mb opening is finally over!!!
can finally breathe... as usual... running ard like crazy sorting out
all sorta funny things... as if i was coordinating the whole nonsense
that aside... on sat we celebrated mister beng's bday at TIMBRE..
as his gym khaki, i bought him one of the most sinful thing on this
earth... a choc fudge cake! sugary with lotsa calories... ahahhaha..
timbre was a good choice i muz say bcos of the live band that was
awesome! the music and company was great!! jus that it can get a
little humid as it is all outdoors... but for the music.. well worth it!!
and as usual it is always good to stay sober so that you can watch
the funny antics from the guys when they start to get high! classic~
quite a good timing to have this bday celebration... cos i can unwind
at the same time...
this afternoon... rot ard to sing karaoke at the club cos my colleague
jio me... though i din sing much i was quite happy to sway to the
music...
overall quite a good weekend... and finally i dun have to say
"it is back to hell again tomorrow"
=)
Current mood: 
lethargic

10:04PM - UPDATES ON WHAT HAPPENED THIS WK
well as you can see i haven been updating my blog as often as i
should... but the past few wks have been crazy and chaotic.. lotsa
weekday nites burnt entertaining ppl at stupid MB... amongst other
things...
so now... i m jus gonna randomly mention or rant abt things that
happened in the last few days....
my family, frens, relatives, colleagues spent fri / sat / sun tearing
and punching holes in the family day ticket stubs... yes i happen to
be the chairperson for publicity and ticketing... anyway.. the event
organizer din deliver wat we wanted and made extra work for us
but well...no use grumbling.. so we were all tearing perforated stubs
until our arms were aching... i think there were a good 25,000 stubs
that we tore... i m sooooo glad that we finally finished it jus now and
i got my dad to send me to office to dump them so that i dun need
to figure out how to carry and ikea bag full of stubs to the office..
i could only managed to walk 10 steps with that big bag... i think i
burnt alot of energy jus tearing and punching holes... with that said
i missed gym classes for 3 days... argh...
yesterday morn when i thot that the long weekend might be a good
break for me... i was awaken by uncle calling me on my phone asking
me abt some nea request to put up extra banners for the joint event
this comin weekend... (to be honest i totally dislike working with our
counterparts... ) and so i thot that was it ... but uncle smsed me and
said that our counterpart wanted us to free off one of the 4 pillars we
are using so that they can put their banner up cos that pillar is next
to the stage.... see how selfish they are? my banners come in a
series of 4 designs.. how can i jus take out one... i will have to get
the contractor to take down all and re-adjust.. completely waste time
and money... of course i cant be bothered... and thankfully i found
the email that they said they didnt want any of the 4 pillars when i
asked!!! WHAHAHAHHAHA..... i m soooooo pleased.... as i have told
the gal... it is not fair for us to take responsibility for an error made
by them... and it is 1wk away from the event already and we have
many other things to sort out... where got time to go and relook and
be helpful....
on thur we held a joint press conference with nea and nparks and
the nparks dir was late can you believe it?!?!? i was the emcee/
facilitator for the press conference... thats my first time and i think
i did quite alright... i m still deliberating whether my current role is
what i will wanna do for the next 20yrs... i have had a couple of
encouraging words from my dir's secretary and the recep aunty on
my floor... they tell me i can dress well and have the personality
for a comms job... really? still trying to figure that out too...
i have been totally exhausted the past few weeks.. i jus need more
sleepppppppp..... i was telling WB that my new year resolution for
next yr is ... not to be part of any committee :D
there are many more things that happened the last few days.. but
well... too lazy to type it all out... heh

12:38AM - A WORKOUT-RRIFIC WEEKEND :D
i realise that i really enjoy going for classes at the gym... not that i m
becoming a gym buff or sth... but i realise that it's one activity that i
can do even if my khakis are not goin... and i can have fun, keep fit
and destress! and esp during weekends, it is easier to pass time...
this weekend i m gym hopping... went with WB to One Raffles Quay
for body attack class yest den had dinner at lau pa sat which had
live music! quite cool~ the only minus point .. the place was abit
stuffy...
den today me, karen, WB and HL went to the fitness first branch at
fusionpolis... karen and i did body attack and after that joined WB & HL
for aqua fit... the pregnant teacher could glide around the pool faster
than anyone of us! after that we were soooo hungry! so went to have
XO fish head bee hoon for erm tea-time? *slurp*
after that karen and i went to novena to meet another fren... we went
shopping b4 dinner and i bought 2 sets of gym wear from nike courtesy
of my mother... *grin* cos she asked me buy my own bday present.. so
this is round 1 ;) really like the gym bottoms from nike... the cut is really
good and flattering... as for the tops the cuts are varied... but managed
to pick out 2... bought abt $250 worth of stuff and got myself a nike
life-time membership ... hehe...
the schedule for tmr.... morn i will be attending the first lesson of
conversational malay at sengkang cc... when i finish the course i think i

10:43PM - MY NEW YEAR RESOLUTION....
well... my new year resolution for work next yr is to make sure that i m
not part of any committee for launches or opening related stuff... cos i
realise that i always end up doin more than what i ask for... practically
having my whole face in the pie...
so far, the heads of the committees i have been in have not much
leadership qualities to boast...although quite a number are nice colleagues
on a personal level but when it comes to managing a committee they are
clueless and some end up creating more mess than anything else...
i m quite happy in my new dept now doin something that is more brain
worthy.... but ultimately that is still not where my main interest lies but as
i work towards my first choice.... second choice is still not too bad for now..
bcos of a stupid opening comin up on 31 oct... i m goin round and round
like a road runner..doin things way way beyond my core job function and
doin other ppl's things too... when you have a person who is rash and
doesnt have clear definition of roles ... somebody will end up a big chunk
of the work....
and this round that somebody is me.... dealing with things that are obviously
not comms related... well at first i thot ok frens right... so help lo... but i
realise they expect you to do the whole blardy damn thing....
what irks me is i get "oh by right you are doin this... doin that" HELLO! wake
up your idea... by right i m NOT doin... by left i m oso NOT doin can... all
these ppl really need to understand what their responsibilities are...it seems
like i m the secretary for this committee which of course i m not...
i really duno wat to say.... i m jus sick and tired...come to think of it.. wat are
all these scholars up to??
