Skipping the VPN Token Training from CIS, I went to Republic Polytechnic for a sharing session on their paperless payment process. This is the first time I've seen a Finance Office paper-less. What amazes me was the fence-less construction in the School. Indeed a designer award construction, the institution looked totally different from the other Polytechnics! They even have an own lake within the campus and this made the stressful work and studying life in campus more peaceful.
Met up with my dear ex-colleagues Sandy and Mei Yee Foo, who are working there now for lunch and ohmy~ Words can't describe how wonderful it was to see them again. *Misses* indeed to their suan-ings and sisterly care for me. =]
However misses I have, we have to learn to accept and let go in all situations in life. I guess this had happened too much ever since my journey here in SP, so much that I am kind of immune to all the movements already. Coming back to the office after a long "break" from office environment only to receive the news that my partner will be transferring to a new centre really startled me.
Mixed feelings I had and is still having now, but glad thing is that she's still intact in campus, and that I know that she's always there to help when I'm in doubt. Just that I have no official reasons to bother her with every thing in our operations. Work aside, I am sad that my wonderful working partner and cubicle mate will be "leaving" the office. No more gossips, screams and laughter in my little corner soon.
Sighs....

Disco Fever!
It's the annual Oldies meet up and I am SO happy!! With the light sticks that Ah Mel brought, Ah Bui and myself totally indulged in our world of K-POP; screaming and grooving to the max.
I was extremely thrilled when there's KOnglish in one of the K-POP MVs we selected. How wonderful it'll be if there's KOnglish in ALL K-POP songs! =D
Walked around ION with Toby after the screams and was quite disappointed to see the indifferent prices on the price tags even during the GSS period. Sighs, have not much to look forward to the shopping with BD tomorrow after tonight's experience.

| Love Sweets from Hokkaido - Wishes from Toby He~ I'm a no-sweet person but "have" to eat this as this is meaningful and just when I was about to pop in one of the sweets, that sweet dropped! *cries* does that mean I won't have any luck in finding my other half? I have to go to the extend of the previous unsuccessful relationship I had to console myself. Ended up popping another one and this time it was done with caution. XD |

Graduation 2012
Cheerios to all the ushers, marshalls, sparcs and bouncers who made the annual Graduation ceremony possible! Without the wonderful cooperation, the ceremony wouldn't end with praises from the Director of Academic Studies.
This year's Graduation is definitely more experiencing and exciting being one of the ushers-in-charge. I was assigned to take care of the medallists, prize winners, medallists' guests and of course the other graduants' guests. We've encountered angry and nasty guests, attitude and uncooperative ones and of course, nice and pleasant ones.
It was fun talking over the walkie-talkie and laughing alone hearing the funny comments and conversation from the other ushers-in-charge. One instance was the speech by the guest of honour, where the guest speaker actually prepared 8 pages long of speech and slides! It was so long and we were so worried that the late-guests might be impatient waiting outside the hall! However, we cracked a few jokes over our walkie-talkie that "we need lecture notes~" in the hall in future.
The most memorable session was PACE's session. Only a handful of students since most of the graduands withdrew from the ceremony as they are mostly working adults, we had a hard time filling up the hall with guests. And because of that, we broke the rule of "no children under age 7 allowed into the Convention Hall", and invited some from the auditorium to the hall.
Wrong decision made indeed. Serves us right for breaking the rule. The kids were running about in the hall even during the guest speaker is speaking and this was so embarrassing. Pregnant graduands were seen and one unforgettable incident is that one of the graduands actually forgotten to collect her rope and had to "kapok" the mannequin's! ROFL!!
Tired but fun, this is indeed the most memorable events I participated in SP so far.

Music Talent!
I stumbled upon this Youtube video from Facebook and mygosh! This guy is real good! It started off with my Yoga Lin's song - 自然醒 and just as I was about to close the window, thinking it's some song cover that I've already heard, this guy in singlet appeared!
It's not about the guy, but about the materials and how amazing he made use of the simplest objects that is always around us. Textbooks, pillow, biscuit tin covers.... The "drum" melody that came out was totally beautiful.
Concept could be adapted from the Korea's Stomp, but who cares as long as the perfomance earns your cheer and wonderful comments. Claps to Benjamin!

Friend Leaving
"Sibling"-Ship
Mr Yeo marked a semicolon in his relationship with his ex-girlfriend and just when he thought the relationship might be better during/after the cooling period, situation turned worse and he pronounce "dead" in this 2.5yrs relationship. I've been through this and the only advice to him is "face it".
My friend is going back to where she belong and this means I'll increase my level as a quirkyalone very soon. But halt.... Does that mean I'll have more chances to travel? =]

Work Anxiety
I'm seriously feeling useless in every projects that I'm involved. The minimal comments I gave was always ignored/rejected and the feeling of being treated like an immature working adult sucks. 6 years of working experience and yet I'm being treated like a small kid. Anything to do with my looks? I second that. Just because I choose to behave bubbly when talking to my colleagues and be silent in most discussion/decision making doesn't mean I have no adequate judgement that I ought to show.Colleagues are being non-cooperative and this causes a delay in my work that the auditor need. My fault? Why is it so that arrows are always pointing at me when I am just a worker. I really drag being in a coordinator role in every job that I've done. I am utterly disappointed with the management, still. Always not knowing (or don't even give a damn) to the things that I'm doing. Just because as an OCD, I clear my tray (my fault again for hating to see things laying in my in-tray?) fast and my documents are always neatly placed on my desk; I am being seen as though I don't have work to do? Nonsense.
Nevertheless, I'm actually happy that the complaints in my outstanding tasks was brought up to my Director. Had some workaround to my bored down tasks as such, but hopefully she see the unfair spread of workload in the office, which I have been hinting her.
I am having goosebumps with the phrases "you get what I mean?" and "educate". I am not to blame for having a dazed or blur look, mind you!
Getaways-hiccups
Another lesson learned when having such short-notice holiday plans. 1st thing is to check your passport's validity and if you need a Visa to that country. =[ |
