VinVin’s Tots

Its tat time of the year again..Meaning time to mit up wif old frenz and get together to haf fun..Well, all of us are not tat young anymore, so clubbin is definitely not our cuppa tea..Our gathering is more subtle, in the sense - we find a place to haf a good dinner and den proceed to haf drinks to continue our chit chat (we are all gals lor, can go on n on n on..like Energizer, hahaha)..

Tis year we haf arranged to haf our annual dinner at Kbox (Cineleisure)…Buffet and KTV at the same time, wat more can we asked for *bling bling* Its a perfect combination!!! Been a long time since I had a KTV session wif the gals…Its extremely special coz its the 1st time I am mitin up wif Qi who was MIA at last year gathering…So yah, almost 2 years since we last saw each other..Luckily we’ve been kipin in contact via email so at least dun feel tat distant wif each othr…lol

Anyway, I met up wif Seb at Lido b4 proceedin to Cineleisure to mit up wif Fion..The buffet was supposed to start at 6pm but when we finally rched the place, its almost 6.40pm…And to my surprise, Qi was waitin for us at the entrance wif Jason!!! The last time I saw him was at his weddin dinner abt 2.5 years ago…hahaha…Not bad mah, get to mit up wif 2 old poly mates at 1 go…kekeke

And so the 4 of us kip ourselves busy eatin n singing while waitin for the othr 2 gals to show up…Jason stayed arnd for abt 20mins and was off for another appt..Wat a hardworkin guy..Hey Seb, time to learn from Jason okie…(lol) Time seemed to fly and by 9pm, Kat managed to show up…Poor gal was held up at work…Well, at least she’s not the last one to show up..Leng oni left her office in Tampines at 9pm and showed up 30mins later..All flustered and pissed…But at least we were kind hearted enuf to save some sashimi for her..She even managed to sing 2 songs lor!!

After the KTV, we met up wif Marcus and Pauline!! 2 of my polymates I’ve not for the past 5 years (at least)…So the whole group of us made our way to the Coffee Club at California fitness…I noe its a Fri nite so I m not expectin to get seats the moment we rched dere but den we ended up gettin pissed and went to TCC instead…Seriously hor, some ppl reali dunno hw to do business..

Dere were 7 of us and we saw 2 tables of customers went off…The waitress instead of givin us the seats, gave it to a group of 4 queuing behind us…Duhzz..Pls lah, wif some common sense she can squeeze the 7 of us into the 2 tables lor..We juz wanna haf drinks, not eat lor..Den we informed her tat dere will juz b 5 of us since the long wait was quite a torture for some of us…She still contd to ignore us and gave available tables to the ppl behind us…Such "good" service rite…In a huff, we went to TCC instead and we managed to get seats within split seconds of reaching dere…Tis juz shows how impt it is to employ ppl who not oni can work but oso street smart…For nothing, the Coffee Club lost 7 potential customers..I dunno, mayb they are makin such good profits tat they can turn their noses up at customers..Its the 1st time tat I’ve walked off from a Q…And it probably will b a long long long time b4 I frequent any Coffee Club branch again…Lol

Anyway, the lot of us spent the next hour takin pics and havin drinks at TCC…By the time we were done, its past 12midnite…Been a long time since we hanged out till tat late…kekeke…Reminds of the time we used to hang out every Fri nite at Boat quay during our poly days…Boozing and singing non stop…Haiz..The good old days…One thing to b glad abt is tat we all make efforts to attend the annual dinner altot some gotta bring work back or gotta rush from work, but it reali shows how much we treasured the opportunity to get 2gether =)

To all the gals : Happy 10th year of Frenship!! Hope tat 2007 will be a great year for all of U..Those singles will find their true love and the married one will haf a baby soon *wink*  ^-^

~Frenz, those who remain behind when every1 else is gone~

As you can read for urself..Yesh..The internet connection at my office is still not functioning well, so another day went by without any MSN (Argghhh!!!!)..Can u imagine me sittin rite infront of the PC hopin (n prayin hard) tat the MSN will juz allow me to log in???? Haiz…*sob sob*

Well, I still managed to surf some S’pore websites like AsiaOne (at least still can get updates on wats happenin on our sunny island)..But den simply cant understand y the OM juz wun do something abt the internet thingy…I mean I dun seem to haf any problems going online at the comfort of my home, so it simply means tat mayb some tuning nid to b done to our office network so tat we can start to get our life back on track (in the office)..heehee

Anyway, it was a super rainy dae again (wats new..Duhzzz)…Tot it will b quite a good day to go out for lunch..Who noes, it started to drizzle as soon as we reached the makan place…And it continued to rain cats n dogs as the umbrella-less us find shelter at the bus stop n hopped tat some taxi drivers will spot the 4 of us flaggin madly at them from the bus stop…Unfortunately for us, some lucky ppl (wif umbrellas of coz) managed to "intercept" a few taxis from right under our noses..And dunno isit our luck or wat, some1 left an umbrella at the bus stop and so with our lucky find, we finally managed to get a taxi back to office..Phew..

Anyway, tmr is my day off!!! Yeah yeah, dun envy me…At least my boss is still kind enuf to let us haf a choice of either having the day on last Fri or tmr…Tokin abt being kind, it will b even better if he had given us a 13th mth bonus..Yepz, me dun haf 13th mth bonus de..Sad hor..I mean after being "pampered" at my ex coy where we not oni haf 13th mth but oso PB n SB rite b4 CNY..We always felt like we haf strike 4D whenever we get our PB n SB..hahaha

Oh yeah, alot of events haf happened during the past few days…My ex colleague Noelle has given birth to a baby gal on the morning of Boxing Day and we’re gonna visit mummy n baby tis sat noon…Cant wait to mit up wif my ex colleagues =)   And my new staff has finally made up her mind to tender…Yepz, she was still waverin on Tues and den yest mornin she made her decision clear…Well, I guess not every1 can survive well in a "no secret" enviroment ..Mayb when next time when I feel like throwin out my "grievances", I will blog abt my new "playground"…muahahaha

~Counting down to 2007 as we recall the good and the bad tat has happened during an eventful 2006~

2dae must b the most boring workin dae for me…Argghh!!! Imagine no access to MSN and internet…How to survive??? *faint* Acty, I was able to log on to MSN arnd 8 plus but after tat (despite doin all I can like checkin the cables, settin up new connection etc), MSN simply refused to give me some face…Duhzz…

Anyway, it wasnt till late noon when a kind soul (thanx little A) informed me tat network connections in Asia were disrupted due to an earthquake in Taiwan..Ok, at least I noe wat the hell is goin on…The most frustrating point gotta b when my office mgr (OM) throw these words my way when I asked her to check on my internet connections…In her exact words " Every1 is using the same connection, U juz gotta try ur luck"…Huh?? Wats tat supposed to mean ah?? Try my luck?? Siao ah, if every1 is facin the same problem den gotta b the network rite…If dunno juz sae dunno lor, wat for put on tat kinda "I dunno but I must pretend I noe" attitude…

Simply cant understand some ppl..If dun haf mood to work den dun work lor…Tis OM of mine is currently on 21 days MC due to a hand injury suffered during a multiple cars accident on a rainy day…(Dear drivers out dere do take xtra care on the road, esp in tis super rainy weather ^-^) So, she can acty nurse her injury at the comfort of her home (esp in tis kinda weather, shiok to slp n slp n slp…kekeke) but instead, she chose to come back to work..Well, if she has make tis choice (and nobody is pointin a knife at her) at least show some professionalism lah..

Sometimes hor, reali dun understand y ppl like to bring their nonsense from home to work…Yet these ppl like to kip emphasizin to other ppl to b professional (meaning work is work, personal life is personal life)…Say equals to nvr say…muahahaha…So now can u imagine the loads of rubbish tat I’ve gotta faced everyday…And tats y MSN n internet is so so so impt to me..Helps me to relieve stress lor :P  heehee…

Wah, suddenly realised tat I’ve written quite a long blog..hehehe..Seems like the temporary bloggin block durin the festive period is gone..But with the upcomin long weekend, mayb the block will appear again…Hmm, time to reflect abt 2006 and tink abt the upcoming 2007..Till den, rem to cover urself with thick blankets in tis cold cold nite…

~On tis cold cold nite, I wished tat the stars will look after all my frenz and kip them safe and sound as they slp thru the nite~

On the eve of X’mas, I’ve learnt a very impt lesson *drum roll*~ never try to go to Orchard Road..Its a mayhem!!! I’ve went dere expectin to experience massive traffic jam not human jam!! Omg, its look like 1/2 of the population were at Ochard…I’ve tot walkin past Lucky Plaza was tough, jostling with the crowd tat seems to comprise of mainly foreign workers & families…

Things started to get worst at Paragon..Dere was this musical performance right at the entrance of Paragon and walking simply became squeezing and pushin our way thru…And den juz at the perfect moment, it started to drizzle (duhzz)…"Gan cheong" parents began whippin out their trusty brollies to shelter their kids frm the rain..It wasnt reali a downpour but still those parents seemed to tink tat their kids were made of sugar and would simply melt away without the shelter..muahahaha

And den dere was tis mother infront of me who was attemptin to shelter her kid’s balloon!! Yah, balloon…not the kid..(was kinda wondering if the prices for balloons haf gone up these days and the mother was quite well dressed, in fact she was wearing a dress fit for attending wedding dinner) Well, she was so dedicated to her task tat she din realised she’s sort of attackin me with her brolly..And even when I yelled at her she simply Bo Chup…OMG..Din noe tat brollies are made of sound proof material…Anyway, my DD pig went to tap her brolly den she apologised..Duhzz…

Seriously, I tink tat parents with young kids shouldnt attempt to go Orchard during festive periods…Imagine the poor kid being dragged thru mountains of bodies..And so often we read in the newspaper tat the increase in cases of theft, pickpocket and molest always occur at crowded places durin festive periods..Its time parents spare a tot for their kids…No doubt the lightings and X’mas decorations are fabulous at nite..But den, these stuff were put up way b4 X’mas eve, so why must ppl wait till X’mas eve den go down dere to take photos??? Guess, mayb some ppl reali do like to "kuey shiou" at the expense of their family members and loved ones..How lovin…Hahahaha (sacarstic luff)

~My 1st Xmas Eve @ Timbre with my Dear Frenz & DD pig~

Yepz, ur eyes aren’t playin tricks on u…I’ve juz watched the highly anticipated sequel of the YEAR!!! muahahaha…*evil me* Well, all I can sae is tat its definitely worth the wait (tink the gap btwn part 1 & 2 was like a couple of months apart)…Simply too temptin for me, couldn’t resist catchin the preview…kekeke…

Its now 4am of X’mas Eve and yipee yipee!! I’ve got my X’mas prezzie from DD pig…*drum roll pls* Its a Nike watch!!! Juz wat I’ve wanted all the while, hehehe =) And I’ve got him a couple of working attire from G2000 ^-^ Well, I must admit tat I was kinda caught off guard by DD pig when he gave me the prezzie..I was browsing thru some clothes and when I went to the changing room, he went to get the watch…Blur me din suspect a single thingy even when I couldnt find him at the games shop..Guess I must be too worn out from the VB games..lol *Thanks DD for the watch, simply loved it*

Was busy hangin out wif Leng, who is finally back from her disastrous trip to Europe in the mornin…We went to get our pedi and manicure done at Tampines and she poured out all her "grievances" & "sufferings" she had endured for the past 10 days in Europe…Poor Leng, her hotel room was broken into in Germany and everything happened when she was having her b/fast at the hotel’s restaurant…Pretty huge loss for her, not oni did she lost 800euros and some swiss francs but all her credit cards as well..Guess, tis reali wasn’t a good year for her to travel…

After lunch, we went to get my X’mas prezzie =) *tats wat frenz are for*  Den its time to head for the beach…The weather is pretty good 2dae (othr than for the drizzle in the mornin)..Was hesistating abt playin VB coz juz did my pedi and manicure..Well, finaly couldnt resist the calling (from VB) and played some games…Acty, it was juz 3 games…Oh well, din reali intend to play so was fine wif the no. of games played…And, I’ve finally met the mysterious player tat I’ve been hearin abt but yet to meet..I must sae tat he’s reali a good player..Quick on his feet and deadly wif his spikes..Definitely live up to his reputation (Little A, I noe who is the guy u r tokin abt le..lol)

*Yawn*..Hmm, looks like the sleep bug has given me a nite kiss…Time to visit dreamland…Its has been a great day and wat else can be better than knowin wats the ending of Death Note 2 like…heehee..

~We create the day tat we wanna haf, we lived out the life we wanna live~

*Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way* Yeah Yeah Yeah!!! 4 more days to X’mas…To date, I’ve received 4 prezzies..courtesy of my staff…heehee..Well well well, wat can I sae..I m well-loved!! (hahaha, super thick skinned me :P)

Prezzies started to pour in after lunch..And my FC bought us a log cake frm BreadTalk…How to work when I’m being pampered like tat??? heehee… Holiday mood is certainly in the air, especially since half of the office will b having their holiday time off tmr…Mine will b on the 29th coz DD pig is havin his off on tat day too…muahahaha =) Hmm, I wonder wat will DD pig get for me..Not really expecting a big gift from him coz like wat jie shi ling sae, Bdae is more impt than X’mas so the big prezzie shld b reserved for Bdae..Totally agree with her..*high 5*

2dae’s weather is pretty good, at least till now still no sighting of raindrops (big or small)…kekeke…Hmm, suddenly tot abt my X’mas last year..It was spent in Taipei…Yepz, me n my best buddy Leng flew to Taipei on the eve eve of X’mas and we really shopped ourselves broke…It was super cold in Taipei, arnd 9 degrees at nite..And we went shoppin for warmer clothings the minute we’ve settled our accomodation..Bbbrrrr….Nearly became an ice pop sickle…lol..It was the 1st time tat I’ve spent X’mas overseas and altot the X’mas mood in Taipei wasnt tat strong as compared to our sunny island, but it was still a memorable experience =)

Another memorable X’mas experience would be the time when my ex dept was "invited" to perform a X’mas song infront of approximately 1000 ppl…YES!!! Its 1000 ppl!!!! *faint* Consider tat as my 1st public singin debut bah (too bad last time dun haf Project Superstar)..altot dere were applause after our performance, but I tink the employees were simply glad tat they could attack the buffet table rather than appreciatin our singing…Haiz..The biggest malu incident of my workin life…Duhzz…Who shld I thank ah, for giving me the opportunity to sing b4 such a big group of audience…No prize for the right answer…*Drum roll* Digimon & Devil!!!! Yah, it was all done in the name of apple polishing..Yepz, wats new..duhzz..Poor us (little soldiers) were sacrificed (yet again) as Devil & Digimon tried their utmost best to get into the good books of the management…*sob sob sob* Till tis fateful day, I can still rem the song tat we sang "We wish u a merry X’mas, we wish u a merry X’mas…blah blah blah"

Well, its almost time to pack up n go hme, kekeke..Yepz, tis blog is written again during office hours *wink wink*  Hey, dun tell on me hor…Everyone is in holiday mood leh, wat to do…Its time to b merry and haf fun

~A Time to Celebrate Being Young & Alive~

Yoz, finally our sunny island is gettin some attention frm Grandpa Sun after 24 hrs of non stop raining..Yeah Yeah Yeah!!!! Hmm, since when d we experienced 24 hrs of downpour after downpour….Not as far as I could recall…

Anyway, hope tat Grandpa Sun wun go on a strike again any sooner coz we are countin down to X’mas!! Yepz, no one would wanna haf a wet X’mas or X’mas eve, hehehe…Toking abt X’mas, still undecided abt wat to get for DD Pig..PS3 would b the best gift, but den its its too damn EXPENSIVE!!!! Imagine payin over 1000 bucks for a gaming machine and tat does not include games lor…Haiz..I will nvr ever ever ever truly understand the complicated r/ship btwn guys and the gaming machines…kekeke…For me, I juz wanna play cute cute games..tats all..so simple rite…hahaha

Tink I m gg to b or m already sick..Imagine poor me treading thru the flood and braving myself against the sweeping rain wif my trusty (and cute ^-^) umbrella on my way home yesterday…Wat an unglam sight…Cant understand y dun anyone do anything abt the pot holes tat seemed to sprouting out like no one’s biz…Dun the rental tat we pay cover maintenance of the surrounding structures like roads??? Dun mean tat juz becoz dere seemed to b more ppl driving than walking, the landlord can assumed tat ppl aren’t hindered by those uneven, ugly pot holes…Duhzzz…

How I wished one day some VIPs will b walking along the stretch of road near my office and den some speed demons will juz zoom past and "SPLASH" !!! Hahahaha…wat a sight it will b..Imagine VIPs drenched from head to toe in their power suits…muahahaha…*evil laugh* But den, the ppl here seemed to rely on wheels more than our trusty two legs, so guess tat day might nvr ever come..*sigh*

Fri is Dong Zhi (lunar calendar)..Time to eat Tang Yuan!!! *Mai Tang Yuan, Mai Tang Yuan* I’ve been cuttin down on my meals these few days all in the hope tat I can squeeze more Tang Yuans down my tummy…kekeke..Juz kidding, me seriously nid to lose some weight esp since haven’t been workin out and playin VB…I miss VB!!! I miss the Sand!! I miss being a Mua Chee!!! kekeke

*Burped* Juz finished my lunch –> Nissin Cup Noodle in Prawn Flavour…hahaha…Poor us, no proper lunch fr tis week due to an unexpected and unfortunate event…Our office’s one n oni hope of tao baoing lunch was dashed when our office mgr was involved in a multiple cars accident during the weekend..Poor us..*Boo hoo hoo* Gotta survive on Cup noodles for the whole of tis week…Meantime, hopefully we get to lose some weight…How ironic rite..Well, tis is wat we call life..

~We’ve Got the Sun, We’ve Got the Moon,We’ve Got the Stars and We’ve got each other~

Its mon again…wat a totally wasted weekend..Wasted in the sense tat it rained non stop so totally no VB for me!!! Yepz, went to the beach yest, but the moment we arrived at the court, rain drops started pouring down on us…Argghh!!! So dere goes my plan to shed off some pounds..To worsen things, I went on a sushi binge on Sat..Haiz haiz haiz..Looks like its fated tat I will contd to balloon till I go "pop"…*sob sob sob*

Thanx to my mummy who wannna try out the $0.10/plate sushi, the 4 of us ( includin daddy n DD pig) made our way on a abt to rain n yet not gg to rain Sat noon to Revenue House…And lucky us, we managed to get seats as soon as we reached…*phew* Guess the rest of the S’poreans must b busy shoppin for Xmas gifts n for once dere is no major Q!!! Yeah Yeah!! =)

Gotta sae tat I was impressed by the layout of the restaurant…Altot it din seemed tat spacious frm the outlook, it can reali housed quite a number of ppl…The way the kitchen was presented was quite a sight too, considerin tat diners get a full view of wat the chefs r doing..And tat dun juz refers to the makin of sushis but othr stuff like cooking of stone pot rice, BBQing the seafood etc..And a table of 4 juz gotta order ala carte items up to the value of $10.00, they get to enjoy unlimited plates of sushis at $0.10 per plate!!! *Yummy yum yum*…heehee…

Haiz, tot tat by gg down to the beach for VB yest could help to eliminate some of the "sins" accumulated from Sat binge..Who noes…(Yes, Heaven noes)..And so the grp of us sat at coffee bean, prayin very hard tat the rain will stop (tink some of us din pray hard enuf)..By 4+, the rain is still pouring so no choice but to find alternatives to spend our Sun…And yes like true S’poreans, we made our way to Vivo and den to Geylang for dim sum dinner…Sinful ah..Half way thru dinner, the uncle in white uniform and on bike came to "chase" ppl who haf illegally parked their cars..And yes, DD pig n uncle H went "poof" into their cars and zoomed off…Kekeke…It was kinda funny lookin at them tryin to make their way onto the main traffic with the uncle in white hot on their heels :p

Next stop, drinks at Kallang Mac..Nothing sinful, juz Lipton tea w/o milk..It was hilarious listenin to KouLou tok abt his job..Din noe it was so interesting..hahaha…And yes, now we noe u’ve got good aim..muahahaha…

Wasted Sun? Hmm, I guessed it was not so wasted afterall…Its been quite a while since we all had the chance to sit down n chat and nothin beats tat on a cold, rainy Sun evening…Hopefully, the sun will come out to play soon so tat we can go out n play too…kekeke…I missed the beach, I missed the sand, I missed the sun, I missed VB!!!!

~A time to work, A time to play, A time for us to celebrate and cherish wat we haf~

Its Fri mornin and here I m writing my blog instead of doing work..heehee…sshhh, dun let my bosses noe ok..Anyway, they are on holidays…muahahaha…

Other than my mgr (61 yr old dowager) who bugs me once in awhile, guessed the week has been quite a breeze, at work I mean…But hey, I worked my butt off last Thur and Fri leh..Rushing out the accts oni to discover tat my new staff made some mistakes here n dere, left out tis n tat and my Big Boss sae he will review it on Mon!!! These fickle minded ppl, tryin to test my blood pressure isit…Luckily, I m a trained SOLDIER!! yeah yeah..I gotta kip emphasizin tat point..coz my last blog had prompted a couple of my comrades to get started on their blogs..Yepz, its time for the world to noe the truth…muahaha…

Some ppl asked :"y wanna bring up old issues since everyone is happy now"…Well, its not really abt washin dirty linen in the public, its abt sharing of tots and feelings… Its been a long 6 yrs and after all tat had happened, cant blame ppl for recalling and wantin to share how they feel and tink rite…Everyone nid a space to let out those cooped up feelings…And as long as no major damages done to any1 (no real names used), I guessed its pretty alrite

Ok, enuf of the post blog "grumblin"..Dun wanna turn into ah soh tat soon…heehee…*Forever young, I wan to b forever young*  Still tryin to crack my head wat to do next..I mean tryin to search for things to do in the office…hahaha…dun envy me :P  Uncle H juz called me to let me noe tat he n Onz are at Expo for the Nike Sale!!! How totful of him to inform me…Duhzz…But its oni 11am and the sale starts at 12pm!! Hahaha..Kiasu uncle H

Oh, nearly 4gt to mention..13/12/06 was a significant day for me n DD pig..Its our 6mths anniversary!! *throw confetti*..Well, we din reali celebrated it in a big way…No gifts, juz a simple dinner and movie…After the movie we gotta braved our way through floods at MS to get to the carpark..Yes, ur eyes din play tricks on u…It was floodin at MS!!!! Not inside the shoppin mall..Duhzz…Anyway, wrote a complaint to the management yest, hopefully they will look into the matter…

Wah, time for lunch already..Wonder wat to eat..Nid to kip a close watch on my diet already…Still haf a couple of Xmas gatherings next 2 weeks…Haiz..I m turnin into a fat piggy…I nid my VB fix and I will b back on my workout classes soon…after CNY..tats quite soon rite…heehee :p

~We Live To Eat, Sleep And Enjoy Life~

Wonder wats up wf the weather these days…Its always thunder, lightning and heavy downpour in the east near to 5pm…Isit a sign to OT?? Well, ppl do haf the assumption tat its the year end and yes..the accts ppl gotta work their butts off so tat their appraisals will look nicey nicey which will in turn lead to big fat pockets next yr…

Well, tis sort of brings me down memory lane to my 6 years of "battlefield" experience in my ex coy (yah, it was longer than the Jap invasion of S’pore)…So many incidents had happened and if they were compiled and published, it would haf been a hotseller and the author could jolly well live off the royalties for a couple of years…muahahaha

It wasnt a battlefield when I 1st joined..In fact it was a nice, warm and cosy kampong…Ppl are frendly, helpful and always on the lookout for one another…Altot we were clockin alot of OT, no one was complainin coz we were happy workin wf each othr…

Things started to go frm bad to worse with the inclusion of a new staff…Acty, it wasnt completely her fault but things sort of all linked to her…And of coz the "Devil" ways of doing things din help either..Soon the new gal was the pet "Digimon"…Btw, "Devil" is the nick for my Lady Boss, in case some of you r wonderin…heehee

Anyway, from kampong it became a battlefield…The old staff are "forced" to become soldiers overnite…Everyday we will wonder if we will tread on some unexploded mines and we gotta constantly watch our own backs in case some knives were thrown our way but we din noticed it, coz we were too busy lookin at wat we were stepping on…Disasters await those who stepped on the tails of "Digimon" & "Devil" by accident…

Dere was tis casualty, whom we regarded highly as a real warrior..She was given the death sentence a couple of times but she hanged on even when she was heavily humiliated…Wat kinda humiliation you might wonder…Well, the "Devil" sent 1 of her reluctant execs to search through the work station of the warrior in full view of the rest of the staff and tats not the end..The "Devil" even called up othr depts to chk on the whereabouts of the warrior!!!

OMG..How far will someone go to destroy the self respect on another…And the warrior was given a big fat D for her appraisals on numerous occassions…I must admit tat everybody do make mistakes in their work, but den to the extent of giving a D (which means 0 bonus!!) its kinda too much to stomach..Imagine workin hard for 12 mths oni to step on the toes (or tail) of the Mighty One up dere and bye bye to your hard earned $$…Life is unfair and tat just sums up the whole thingy…sigh

Its juz a matter of time tat gangs start to form as ppl try to build up their own army of defence…Sometimes I do wonder if frenship still exists in the dept and the constant fear of "Wat if I offend the Digimon or Devil" is forever hangin above my head…But u might ask y dun ppl leave since its such an unbearable place..Y allow urself to b humiliated and bow to "Devil" & "Digimon"..Well, altot dere were different camps but den workin and suffering together for so many years, we were all bonded..thru the sufferings and hardships…No one understands wat we had gone thru best other than our comrades…

Sometimes I do wonder how low can one go to secure their own ricebowls…Even if it means sacrificin frenship?? Even if it means lickin your boss’ toes non stop and waggin the tail everytime the boss appears??? Yes, we are all struggling everyday to make sure tat we dun get strike off Santa’s list at the end of the year but at no expense of othrs..Y cant ppl juz understand tat othrs r juz earning peanuts to kip their days going..Y make life so unbearable for othrs..Sometimes I haf tis idea tat we were living in the Qing dynasty and at the mercy of an Empress and her eunuch..hahaha

It din came as a surprise to many tat someone did eventually decided enuf was enuf n its time to leave for greener pastures..And many soon followed the lead..Now, we are all happily workin in better environments and breathing fresh air once more…And yes, nothing can get us down coz we are trained SOLDIERS!!!

True tat I reali missed those days of monkeyin arnd during OT, having countless buffets during dept gatherings, cheering my comrades on as they took part in KTV and running competitions…I missed those days so much so much…But I guessed all good things do haf to come to an end..But we are still in contact and yes those 6 yrs were indeed a good learning experience…No doubt the bonus was good but den all the $$ was used to replenish ammunition and nursed our injuries (our little self respect)..Super lose lose situation…I’ve learnt alot of valuable lessons and seen the worst of human humiliation..To tis day I still wondered, does the "Devil" ever feel remorseful abt the way she treats us…But den again, she’s nt called the "Devil" for nothing…hahaha

She will juz contd to fool herself, her bosses and current staff tat the high turnover of staff tat haf worked for > 5yrs is becoz she’s givin us chances to soar higher…Yeah yeah yeah..she can sae watever she like..we dun care…y shld we??? we are better off than she can ever imagine…Even after we’ve left, she still "very very concern" abt hw we are getting on..Never tot she’s so "nice"…And so sorry to disappoint her tat we are all in good health, adaptin well to our new environment and happy wf wat we haf…Guess who’s having the last laugh..No prize fr the right answer..heehee

~We worked hard, we fought hard and victory is sweet~
