Life Is But A Sojourn

Boohoo… Time to buck up!!!

There is so much to say… so much to complain… so much to boast… so much to be thankful about.

All these (missing) while, I’m like losing faith and hope, drifting away to nowhere. And sometimes, one really need a push to get inspired / motivated.

I’m just glad that I’m fortunate and blessed in many ways.

WORK
I have never been so busy and stress in my life. My work is super hectic and been staying late in the office just to get things done rightly. Thanks to that irresponsible fucker who left his shits in a big mess before leaving. I have to blame myself so taking things for granted for beliving he will get things done nicely before depart. I’m so goddamn wrong!! I just hope I can salvage as much as possible. And thank god for letting me to have a supportive and understanding boss!! I’ll be in Do-Not-Disturb mode till the D-Days from 20 – 23rd April.

BIRTHDAY
One year older. I’m so sad. . And I’m about to inaugurate into the grand 30 in another 2 years time. *Ops! Secret revealed* Oh gosh!!! What have I been doing for the past 28 years?  There’s so many things I’ve yet to fulfill. No time and no youth to waste… I have to buck up now… NOW!!!!

Still, I’m thankful to my mum who cooked the vermicelli with 2 big eggs for me and my husband who spent the day with me at the beaches. Also thanks to my friends who remembered my birthday and sent their birthday wishes to me via SMS and Facebook!!

LIFE
I’ll have to settle my work first. Then quickly decide whether to take up the baking course or the PR course. Then decide whether to travel and where. Then …………………………….

 

All the very best to myself. Oh yesh… I miss my sister Jamie. Can’t wait to see her after her Nepal trip!!!

‘Busy’ is not the word.

I hate this word ‘busy’. The more I hate, the more busy I become. That’s how the secret works.

Again, I have never-ending projects, tasks and lots of responsibilities. My boss has went for her maternity leave and I have to deal with the upper management for decision and approval for the projects I’m handling now. It is a challenge, really. 

Supposed to go back to office to settle some work, then I thought why should I? I’m not going to ruin my weekend in the office again! Work and life must be balance and this is what I have been lacked of. Next week I’ll be having courses from Monday to Thursday. Shiok? I don’t know if this sweet escape will turn out to be a disaster when I return to work?! Eeeeeww… Way NO! I’m keeping my fingers crossed!!!

So it is time to wind down the busy life and I’m looking forward to fly off to my 2nd year anniversary with hubby! We have been married for two years… so fast. Where are we going this time? Hee… (to be continue). :P 

Euphemism or Joke?

Tadaa!!~ I’m the Best Employee of the Month of August (BEOTM)! I want to thank to my dear boss Esther who nominated me! The reward is a cash cheque of $200!!! So happy happy! :)

I have no intention to share about me being nominated for the BEOTM with my colleagues, in case those sensitive ones think I’m boastful. But it just happened that my boss passed this cheque to me at my desk and ’Z' learnt about it. She congratulated to me and said I deserved this reward. I was like ”Ehh.. okay.. thanks.” :roll:

Then later before she left for the day, she jokingly told me to go back early, don’t stay late for work, don’t fight for the next BEOTM with ‘V’ as the both of us always stay late for work and give ‘V’ the chance to be the next BEOTM. I replied to her that staying late for work doesn’t mean you are the best but the quality of the work that counts. :-?

I really don’t fancy her joke at all. Although she said “just joking lah”… but it sounds like euphemism. And passing such “kidding” remarks is not her first time. I’m so sick of entertaining her. I don’t want to be rude and hope she can totally stop talking to me.

I miss the previous team where Val and Harriet was around. We worked in peace and no politics. Sighs. Ever since the new blood joined, so many things happened. Shitty.

The coming Monday I will be doing my yearly appraisal with my boss. I don’t know what’s in store for me but I hope good news coming to my way!!! Keeping my fingers crossed on this! :P

Tuesday at work

Lately my workplace seems to become more lively. Thanks to our new colleagues, Viona and Joanna, as they are really fun-loving people. We would joke and laugh… Most of the time we were teasing David as he should change his most controversial style (1. geeky grey hair 2. no dress sense… HAHAHA!!!) in order to meet his Miss “Mango” and/or “Cherry”. Hahaha!  At last, he heeded to our advise and finally spot a new hairstyle this week!

Hmmm… Should I post up his before and after photo? Heehee… :P

Ok Fine… I will respect his privacy. But hopefully he will get to know his Miss Mango real soon!

I can’t wait for Friday to come. Work as usual, busy, but glad that the address directory distribution are all done and over. *Phew* This is one of the major group project and imagine if I screw it out? But glad all done smoothly. The next big project is the 2009 calendar distribution. I think this may be a little complicated but pray hard everything goes on smoothly!!!

Most importantly is to keep myself happy! I’m so looking forward to my next shopping spree!!! :P
