VinVin’s Tots

Although its a Thur nite and there’s a workshop to attend in town tmr, somehow juz have the inspiration to blog…heehee…Had switched to using public transport as the main source of avenue to get to work everyday (boohoohoo, no more free rides from "ahmad" :P) for a couple of months now and I must say, its quite an entertainment ride to work.

Hmm, lets get started with the 1st entertainment which will be the fashion show. OLs (office lady) of all ages in all sorts of get up will flocked the mrt cabins at almost every stop. I find pleasure in scrutinizing these OLs from their clothes ->bags->shoes->accessories->handphone/IPOD,muahahaha…Ok, u can say that I am damn evil but then again blame it on my working environment,hahaha. Can’t help if some OLs can’t dressed to save their own lives right.I’ve ever witnessed a couple a times, OLs who simply dun realised that they have grown a winny tinny too big for their tops. As a result, they are showcasing their tummy ba ba to everyone. Imagine being seated and right up close and personal is a lump of fair ba being exposed like nobody’s biz. Help!!

Apart from the fashion show, there is also -> The ruthless takes all game show.  Basically, participants in this show emerged as winners by occupying vacant seats in the shortest time possible. This always happened when I am alighthing at my station. Its not always the one who’s standing right infront of me that gets my seat. It all depends on how thick skin one can gets. Of course being ruthless does help. I’ve seen aunties using plastic bags to block the paths of others so that the aunties can quicly position themselves at the most strategically point as soon as their radar sensed I am alighting at the next stop.

I’ve tried to play along with these aunties a couple of times (evil me!) by purposely digging profusely into my bag as if I am looking for my Ezlink card to lead them to think that I am alighting (hahahaha!). Sometimes, I will purposely sit myself nearer to the door so that I can make my way just as the door is closing and the aunties won’t be able to react in time. Besides aunties, some irritating office uncles (not necessary have to be lao kok kok to be uncles ok) also will join in the ruthless game alongside the aunties. They really disgust me! WTH about showing the ladies some gentleman behaviour…Pui!

Oh well, these little entertainment do keep me well occupied during the short train journey. Otherwise wat else can I do?? Can’t zzz or read coz the journey is simply too short. And not to mention, I’ve got my trusty hp to provide me with nice music while keeping my eyes fixed on these interesting entertainment. But sometimes, really is no eye see wor…duhzz…

~Fashion is another form of art..Shouldn’t this be every woman’s principle?~

I am back!! Finally after a long long break, everyone’s friendly blogger is back in action. Hmm, but then again not sure how long will this blogger persevere (Hey, I am talking about blogging okay!). A quick update : (1) Finally found someone willing to take me for life and so went from Miss to Mrs (hahaha!) (2) Had fun planning a couple of months for an event that was done and over with in less than 6 hours. (3) Start of 3rd month at new workplace (still adjusting and learning).

Ok, think that pretty wraps up about moi, time to get onto other things. About work, since it has really been a 360 degrees change from my previous employment. Not only am I in a totally new field, but its also the most complex structure I’ve encountered to date. All along I’ve been working in subsidiaries/regional office. Never had I dreamt of having the chance to work in what is commonly known as a shared service environment.

Its a super dynamic working environment with changes taking place every minute. There are so many departments that have an impact on our work, so having emails flowing (and flooding) every now and then is considered a norm. Communication is considered quite a challenge especially for newbies. Emails have to be worded correctly and sent to the correct recipient so that people will get the correct message and know what the hell we are talking about.

The bit about being a newbie, people always wanna try and push their luck just to see how far can they go (to me, it all boils down to being insecure). And of course, now that I’ve got a small team to lead, can’t be hiding behind the back of my bosses all the time. No one likes confrontation but its inevitable in every work place. So, I guessed I just have to try and be level headed in every situation coz emotions really screw things up (big time!)

So far, I’ve been learning alot (simple things like using the printer/scanner to waging war) and time really flies when there are things to do. Despite still swimming in the deep end, I am glad that I didn’t succumb to temptation to take the easy way out on things. Its exactly the same situation as when I rather just continue to wear my old dusty grey sweater than to take out my brand new red and pink PUMA sports sweater for wear.  Its all about taking time to adjust and I believe that nothing is impossible unless we are talking about fetching down the stars from the sky!

Super Moi!
