met up with the iprs ppl at timbre @ Old School for a get-
together and also to celebrate Robing's belated bday.. we
had fun cam whoring and Pui joined us too after his gym
session... we came up with stupid quizzes and all to
entertain ourselves and it was jus great chit chatting,
laughing, eating with the great music and great company!
totally forgot about taking up dance lessons with Barbara
well i think she forgot too until we brooch the subject jus
now...hehe and i have agreed to take up Lindy Hop classes
with her when i get back from europe ...weeee.. gonna
ask mr hamburger if he is interested too ;) cos he has got
the groove!
photos from the outing are in karen's camera... so i guess
will need some time b4 i get time... will post up another
time...
yes yes thats what my frens tell me that i should remember... i m
DAWNUT! one strong dawnut that will not fall...
but still i need to bitch abt my boss.... i think i haven bitched abt her
for some time... i have been very good... whatever shit she ask me
to do i do... when she snide at me i just keep quiet... i m trying not
to have too much dealings with her... bo chap her as much as
possible... thank goodness i have my senior manager as buffer but
she herself aint having a good time with the boss either. i think she
dislikes our team for whatever reason...
take the event that ended last wk for example... everyone (including
the part-timer) had something to take charge off except me. i was
filed under MICELLANEOUS... even as i was planning and doing
quite abit for the new media part (i.e. facebook, flickr, youtube etc),
she just refuse to put me in charge and rather put a part-timer in
charge ...oh well....
earlier this wk we received an email from my boss that we will all be
getting 1.5days time off for work done during the event. However, my
designer later found out from my other colleagues that my boss sent
a separate email to my colleagues excluding me and my designer to
top up another 0.5 day... i think that is disgusting... i m not gian for
that 0.5day but clearly she is implying that we are not doin much.. i
dun think it is fair esp when she jus refuse to assign more roles to me
and den say that i din do much during the event... *puke*
she split the team up into media team and the corporate team.. my
senior manager, designer and myself are in the corporate team which
i reckon she is not very fond of... although she said the corporate
team will deal with collaterals and stuff... meaning annual report, the
magazine etc... but other than my designer... my senior manager and
i have no part in it... it is always the usual ppl doin and they are from
the media team... i mean den why do you have teams and diff job
scope when the division of work is obviously not clear...
i do enjoy the nature of the work here in general... but whether our
8 character clash or she dislikes me for whatever reason... she is
obviously showing favouratism and not even giving me opportunities
or rather not even AN opportunity...
it jus feels like i have dropped from heaven to hell... in the past when
i was in another dept, the jobscope may not be what i would really
like ... but at least the bosses gave all the so called "young people"
equal opportunities to take on diff projects and shine... sometimes
i do miss the times when i was given total responsibility to manage
and coordinate events etc... perhaps i m more cut out for events..
here, my boss makes me feel unappreciated... creativity being stifled..
redundant... stoopid...
the only saving grace is my senior manager who appreciates wat i do
and shares her experience with me and teaches me how to do things..
she is very experience in this field... as compared to my boss... i dun
mind goin the extra mile for my sm...cos she is a good leader... she
takes responsibility for her own actions and stands up for us at times..
my boss is a selfish twit... she is a made leader and not a born
leader since she came in... i dun expect good performance grading
and wontexpect to smell any promotion comin up anytime soon...i
m actually quite okie with getting my yearly increment and not
getting more responsibilities and rot my time away... take the money
every mth and perhaps start a small online hobby business thingy
which will make me happier...i should get back to it soon and continue
designing and making my own dolls and toys and stuff....
i shall work towards..."MISSY DAWNUT'S PLAYGROUND"..hopefully
i can get sth up by the end of this yr... :)

the week looongggg water week is finally over! I think I am still
suffering from post event fatigue... heh... last saturday after i
went with the foreign media to the tuas south incineration plant
(will post photos on it in my next post).. i went home after that
and knocked out for a good 4hrs and woke up jus in time for
dinner ... :p
quite a number of us worked like at least 12hrs a day for the
whole week... and my week started on 20jun with all the prep
work and ended on 27Jun after the hosted media went home.. it
was a different experience this yr as I was dealing with the
media and publicity related stuff... i was more busy on site
compared to last yr when i was dealing with spouse prog, forums
etc... i was more busy with prep work then...
was running ard quite abit and rushing against deadlines and
overcoming horrible internet access... had a chance to act as a
reporter when i went round the water expo with another colleague
and a videographer to interview delegates and trade visitors on
wat they tot abt the water week... and since my colleague is indian
and i m chinese bo bian i had to do the chinese interview (with my
horrible horrible chinese that GL had to translate the qns from
english to chinese for me and LY had to erm correct the sentence
structure with much disbelief) but i think i managed to pull it off
quite well.. hahahah... the only thing i was not used to was
introducing myself using my chinese name... it made my hair stand
hearing myself say my chinese name ... =X haha
here are some pics taken during the LKY Water Prize Ceremony
from left.. brother yap, max, ker, me, hanloong
ker and me
and this is my fav pic from the event :) pui and me... hee~ my
all time ommmm + supper buddy *grin*
i m actually feeling quite happy today... heehee... well i guess a
few things today made me smile and grin a little more...haven
been like this for some time...
i will be meeting angie for dinner and catch up session later.. and
i hope she remembers to bring my plug :p
finally goin with pui for ommm session tmr and of course it will
neva be complete w/o supper after that ;)
might be meeting up with Guy for dinner on Thur after trying to fix
this session for like wat 6mths?!??! bummer! his occasional rubbish
smses kept me entertained today~~
friday is a bday celebration and meet up with my diploma mates...
ho ho ho... so many things...
sat might be heading to wala wala if yang comes back according to
schedule... these days his life is unpredictable... he doesnt even noe
when he can come home! so poor thing (in a sarcastic tone)
he is in aussie for work btw...drowning himself in booze i think :p
also, earlier on was discussing with yang on our island rendezvous
at the end of the yr just got me all excited even though i noe i will
be quite broke after i m back from europe ... heh... bcos of cindy and
her romantic rendezvous on Rawa Island lah and my fren who sent
me the same web link as wat cindy sent to yang... so we felt it must
be a SIGN!
(goaty - pls follow up on the research to entertain yourself during
your 12hr shift when vicechair not ard to entertain you online)
finally... will be meeting pui and ms lim for post event bitching
session on sunday....
it is a packed weeek!!! heee~~ so happy :)
for those who missed the ad last mth... :)
got "the look" from someone... whatever~~
i feel bad that i have caused a disappointment yet again...
but at the same time, the other part of me felt a sense of
relief.. and i could finally sleep thru the nite last nite...
suddenly i felt a release... like a butterfly that can finally
come out of it's cocoon... i think the word butterfly cant
be a more apt description for me... being a social flutterfly
prob gives me the kind of gratification i want... laugh and
be the centre of attraction when i want to... flutter ard to
entertain and be entertained... completely no strings
attached...
my perception may not be main stream and it is hard to
explain why i do and think the way i do .. and i dont feel
obliged and do not wish to explain either bcos others dun
feel or see things the way i do ... and they will always
think it is wrong...
very often ppl try to impose their thinking on me just bcos
that is wat the majority thinks rather than listening to wat
i have to say... and even if they do listen they still think
their hypothesis and reasoning are right... oh well...
and given my character... in whatever i do and decisions i
make... i have neva looked back...
i m wat i m and i dun think i can change it and dun expect
other ppl to change for me... if sth doesnt fit or if it makes
me uncomfortable i have to stop it or move on cos it will
give me tremendous mental stress that i cant deal with...
it might cause others to look at me in a different light
possibly a -ve one.. but thats the way it is...
things i wanna tell myself....
no more _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
no more _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
no more _ _ _ _ _ _
and perhaps no more _ _ _ _ _ _
some random thots that are goin thru my head now...
i have always felt strongly that doin things for the sake of
doin and thinking that you like it and doin it bcos of passion
is entirely different... do it for yourself and not others...
i dun believe that chemistry can be cultivated fr scratch....
jus like dancing... 2 ppl taking a gazillion diff dance lessons
together doesnt necessarily give them dance chemistry..
they will jus be dancing technically but they wont exude the
kinda feel... its jus like goin thru the motion... wat makes
dancing even more enjoyable apart from being able to
execute the moves is to let yourself loose and jus dance! i
guess thats wat makes social dancing fun... :)
will be back in the social dance scene soon ;)
thanks yang for welcoming me back to the club with such
enthusiasm... your words are prob the best thing i have
heard in the last 2 wks : ) ... the club is now back in action
with the full team!! err aka u and me... hahaha...
does it mean i m wrong if i think or act differently from
everyone else?
thru the 3rd day of the event :S been working at least 12hrs
everyday... today is possibly the worse... firstly the aircon at
suntec was FREEZING... i was almost frozen to death.. if i
could i would have brought my blankie!
den i was throtting ard trying to catch chinese speaking ppl
at the water expo to get some soundbites (when my chinese
sucked big time and i had to consult the videographer uncle
on how to say designation in chinese).. but the whole place was
swarmed with more ang mohs...managed to get only one so
gotta try again tmr...
den went for this gala dinner at istana... the aircon marquee
was like a freezer too... and my heels kept sinking into the
lawn... i m using the hairdryer to blow my feet now as i m
typing this... they are cold!!
heh... on another note.. i realise that at such functions the
social flutterfly in dawnut jus comes out.. and she will 'waltz'
from table to table to entertain and be entertained by her
colleagues... she jus felt so carefree and seem to have burst
to life after a longggg time... i think she actually enjoys the
limelight being the centre of the crowd :p ...
that aside... after this event... i will be goin on my well deserved
trip next mth... and i terribly need to schedule to meet all my
frens soon!
lets see...
1) i still owe shifu his bday treat (his bday was in mar :P)
2) dinner with dashu and BQ
3) dinner with the cpf peepz
4) dinner with my hairstylist
5) post event bitching session with ms lim and ah pui
6) lunch with angie!! (hope it can happen tmr)
7) my monthly happy lunch with jas
8) vege lunch with Jun
9) gathering with uncle ulu and gang
okie i think the list is getting wayyy to longggg... gonna
stop here for now and see how many i can strike off e
check list in the next 2 wks,,,
bed time!
it is finally the 3rd day of the event... been running around the
past 3 days... tired~~ i jus wanna hibernate and see no one at
all.... i need a break....
i bought this HAPPY PINK namecard holder from the Katespade
sale! jus in time for the SIWW which starts early for me.. that
is tmr... hosting some foreign media for welcome dinner.. :S
it has been a rough two wks and the comin wk is gonna be
worse ... so i think i m in need of the retail therapy to provide
temporary happiness.. anyway i am still trying to make sense
of my "running around" schedule for the comin wk... i reckon
that i m gonna work at least 12hrs everyday... *sweats* cant
wait for next wk to be over!
had a bimbo club gathering at La Villa at River Valley and oso
to celebrate bimbo member and vice-chairbimbo's bday.. not
to mention some catching up, bitching and interrogation (of
Chairbimbo) too .. bleah~ :p
our gatherings will neva be complete w/o exchanging bimbo
gifts or doin bimbo things! bimbo secretary gave me some
little pots of mineral make up... and bimbo member gave me
a pot of la mer foundation, lime green katespade baggie with
polka dots and a hair curler! soooo bimbooo!!! i LIKE!
