Clarification

There, dun say I bo sim lah. Slipped my mind mah. Meet up soon yeah! The pic below is not Eugene for Christ's sake.

Y must Johnhawk send me this idiotic photo frm out of nowhere last nite? This was taken more than a year ago. Didn't noe tat was his camera and of cos i dunno him then. There's nothing more between me and this guy above (and also some other). Mayb 1 day u might see him walking down the street with some other gal. It's absolutely non of my business. Juz dun mistake her as me. I repeat there's no more affliliation whatsoever between us. End of story.

Felt very sleepy at work today. Guess this is wat happens when u rest for a day in the middle of the week. Many things awaiting me to file and key in after i return today. Chai Li also took half day off yest. Suppliers bought us curry puffs and lychees today. Shouldn't have told Chris i was going JB. Should have known tat words will get around and she's kinda KPO. Lol... I guess bo bian cos they r mostly Malaysians so their ears will light up at the words of JB.

I wanna stand up and face the world :)

JB

The trip to JB was fruitful. I got 2 tops frm, no surprise, Mango again. They are having sale as well. It's much neater and there are more sizes and selection though the store is not very big. Was able to find wat i cannot get in S'pore Mango. I got a pair of heels frm Vincci as well. Nice, look classy. Black with Gold, a nice combi. Nv tot tat these 2 colors could work b4 but they did. Hehe... Then we settled for lunch at Coffee Bean cos the fish & chips restorant has closed down.

The sun was damn blazing. It's only a causeway difference and the degrees are like world's apart. I'm not kidding. If you think the weather in S'pore is humid and hot, try JB. I think i got a shade darker seriously. I was perspiring like mad. Can't stand the heat. It'll give me heat rash. There wasn't much jam at the causeway either. So the traffic wasn't tat bad.

Oh well, it's back to work again tmr...

(Note to Self : I dun deserve this type of treatment so Fuck back to Him)

Wen=Wendy

I guessed I have cleared up most of the work by now. There is absolutely nothing much they have on their plates for me. Really a smart choice for me to take off tmr. Enter a new character into the office politics. Welcome Wen, the HR manager. She had quite a long talk with Julie this morn. 2 main things tat came across are: She wanna get her daughter into the a/c dept (meaning even my temp position is endangered) and asked Julie to be wary as Alice might not be here for long (which Alice nv said b4). Well-known for being a back-stabber and making things difficult for u when u have stepped on her toes...

Haiz... Dun wish to get myself entangled in all these shits. But both times i step out of office, i was seen by the big boss. Though he said Hi, smiled and all, who knows wat he thinks deep down. Lucky my time there is limited now. Looking fwd to going JB tmr. Wonder how much i should bring... THIS IS NOT A HINT TO ROB ME PLS!

Step smsed me today, saying Geri will be back frm US and they are having a gathering on Fri after work. Asked Yu Fen along but she thinks tat it's kinda awkward. So i shalln't be going anywhere on Fri cos Charmed has returned! I'm glad I have finished watching Full House cos it's been taken down frm Youtube due to some copyright infringement. Below is the link to my fav song at the moment, Superwoman (The MTV is not tat fantastic though):

Gelare

Finally had the ice-cream waffle at Gelare. it's half-price for the waffles cos today is Tuesday! It tastes really good. (Pai seh it's my first time there. Said i was a country bumpkin already). I had it with Cookies n Cream while B had Chocolate Overload. Yummy... Good stuff. Shall upload the pics later (as usual). Saw an imitation Guess watch at Holland V selling at 18 bucks. Swear i'll get one at Thai. Believe it's cheaper over there. The hotel thingy is so cumbersome to settle...

Yeah i'm taking a day off on Thur. Less 1 day pay but i think it's worth it. Yet to inform them but will tell Julie tmr lah. Vivian said her tentative last day is next fri. Kinda fast man... The new mango top i wore today is like suffocating me. It's so tight and i took size M already. Oh boy, the flu is also killing me. Been blowing my nose like mad. Think i shall turn in soon. Tat's all for today. Short and sweet :)

Showdown

Yest was THE showdown. Didn't expect it to be so soon. Alice emailed Julie regarding confidentiality of certain documents which she has left on her table unlocked the previous day. At the same time, she also bcc our big boss. Tat was the most evil man. Julie pulled a black face the whole morn (apparently after seeing the email but she doesn't noe it was sent to the boss unless she was reprimanded) and asked Alice into her room after lunch. Started off with Julie saying things like Alice could have come straight to confront or talk to her etc. I only managed to hear a teeny bit then the door was closed and even locked! The rest of us were quite taken back. Things had gotten so solemn. Dunno wat happened inside... But when the door opens, Julie was suddenly all nice and talking to Alice again, offering her things to eat etc. I find it all very fake though...

Another shocker: Chris has tendered her resignation. Seems like everyone is leaving. Haha... Left Chai Li and Ms Soh. So Chris will be leaving around same time as my assignment ends. Really despise small Pte Ltd Co now. I noe i am stereotyping but i can't help it. These 2 months have shown me 2 incompetent, lousy Pte Ltd Co. If the Co was successful, then the turnover rate wouldn't be so high. I will definitely look for MNCs for perm jobs in future.

After work, I headed to town again. Supposed to meet Kok Hong, Jason and Yu Fen. Ended up with Jason only. Yu Fen cannot stay for dinner and Kok Hong didn't wanna come after he heard Jason was coming. So petty... I bough another skirt frm Mango. We had dinner at Din Tai Fung. Thanks for being such a great pal, Jason. U noe wat i mean. We took quite a few photos with Yu fen also. Stupid blogger dunno y unable to upload pics. I got so many pics frm previous entries yet to be posted too.

B will back today :)

Office politics

The atmosphere in my office feels so different nowadays. Everyone is so hostile around Julie (my FM). This morning a supplier who's been bugging us for a long time called. Chris ans the phone. She told them we'll be making payment for the Feb invoices. They exclaimed,"Wat abt the Mar invoices huh?". Chris explained to them tat we r only employees and have to take instructions frm the higher levels (Julie had earlier said tat we shall make pymt for Feb only due to cashflow problems). So the call was transferred to Julie. Julie ans and told the person tat she is not sure abt this as Chai Li is the one making pymts. She put the person on hold but did not transfer the call to Chai Li. WTF! This gal got clever. She came out to talk to Vivian, Larry and Chai Li, pretending to be busy AGAIN. The call got reverted bk to Chris. Chris repeated the same things and tsf the call once again to Julie. Julie refused to pick up other calls after tat also.

It is damn irritating. I sat right outside her room. The phone has been ringing off the hooks. She's obviously there but too scared or something to pick up calls. Fucking hell... I also getting pissed off at her. Sometimes i'll look into her room on purpose, like willing her to pick up the call. Alice went in to talk to her b4 lunch, explaining tat the documents are urgent and thus require approval & signature asap. She was fuming and did not have much appetite for lunch. Alice said she's going to have a showdown with Julie one of these days when she could take it no more. Lunch hour is the only leisure time tat we are able to talk freely now. Otherwise, i'll juz be sniggering to myself when i see them coming close to a conflict with Julie in office. Can't take it man. Haha... Scared i might laugh out loud one of these days. It's like watching a show unfold right b4 my eyes. Vivian caught my eye a few times and smiled too. Lucky i'm not involved in all these shit and i only got abt a month more there. Morale is seriously dipping in my dept. Nobody likes to work under such a supervisor.

Few points to note if u wanna be a manager in future:

Mango Sale

Yes, i still live up to my name. Got a sms frm Mango today saying tat their sale will start tmr. I fwd tat msg to Dianna and she told me she'll be going down immed after work today. Today was actually meant exclusively for members only. So there i was, thanks to Dian's sis cos she is a member. This is the first time tat i'm there for the members' sale. There were still loads of selections and sizes and more importantly, they were NOT tat messy yet. But then again, this season's clothes really suck. I ended up buying a baby-doll top only at half price. Dian also got 1 top only. Haiz... One good thing is tat we can save up for our individual trips. Oh well, better than nothing. I tot i wouldn't even be at this semi-annual sale at all due to work. We then had dinner at a HK cuisine restaurant called Central. It's located at the basement of Taka. Not tat exp but the food also not tat great. I had some instant noodle fried with egg and luncheon meat. Tat alone costs abt 6-7 bucks. Charles & Keith as well as other shops are also coming up with wedges. Hope there'll be one to my fancy soon. As usual, i bought some breads frm Breadtalk for breakfast and lunch tmr. Then, we headed home.

My office politic is heating up. Seems like most of us are turning against our finance manager. She's a newcomer. But she slacks alot and always push her tasks/resposibilities to other ppl. Getting high pay for nothing sia. The cheques/invoices etc tat we have prepared and require approval and signature by the bigger boss are still in her room. They have been there for almost a week. Dunno wat she's doing. It doesn't take long to check thru them and pass to the higher level. Guess she's plain lazy. They say she's always stoning but acts busy with so many documents laid out on her table as if she got many things to do. Haha... She has even shifted her monitor such tat we cannot see wat she's doing. Chris said Julie surfed many websites unrelated to work e.g. Pizza Hut! (according to her logs) and even printed ice-creams advs etc. Such a loser. Think she should have set a good example as a manager...

Oh and Chai Li told me today tat my agency only charge them $8/h, meaning they only earn a miserable amt. Stupid agency! They could have charged $9 or $9.50 just like other agencies. Then I would have been able to earn more also. Damn...

Guess

Has anyone noticed tat Guess bags are manufactured in China? No idea y they cost so much though for something 'made in china'. Damn... it's juz the brand. Cheat my money sia... Nv ever buy them during regular period. Must always wait for the sale cos they always mark down alot by nearly 50%. So far i only bought tat only bag (left on the pic of my previous 2 posts) at the fucking non-sale price of $159.90. And i saw it on the racks this GSS. Haiz... Dun talk abt this liao. Lucky it's the only one tat i saw.

Think i'm going to be a Guess-fanatic too. But it's for bags only. Dun own any of their clothes or shoes at the moment. Was contemplating their luggages. Quite affordable, i think. Cos bags already cost over 100 and the luggages also around 100 plus. (Someone going to berate me on how often i use tat luggage liao :p) But i tot it would come in handy for the Bangkok trip. Hmmm...

Anyway, I have taken some clearer pics of my DKNY watch the other day...

Library

Intended to take a bus down to TPY to meet B. But it was kinda late and B picked me up halfway. He was driving today. Hence, we went to the library at Orchard instead. Made us rush for nothing. Tot the library closes at 5 but it closes at 9 instead. Return the books but couldn't find back the book tat i want. Only saw the receipt after i got home. The lib doubles my loan limit so i could have borrowed more. After tat, we had an early dinner at Mac and shop around for his belt. Finally settled on the one at G2ooo. Heard frm Yufen tat mng sale is tmr. But nv see them packing today lei. Oh well... Not like i'm going anyway. Gotta work...

Headed to east coast for a drink later. Wanted to go Cabana but no parking lots and there were many fines around on other cars. Bought Hoegarden frm 7-eleven and drove to last car park to drink there. Dun be mistaken. No hanky-panky there. haha... I took over the wheels frm there and drove all the way to Tuas. B had such a good sleep hor? *hint hint* Totally reminds me of the good old driving lessons days. (private joke). Haha... Surprisingly i nv buy anything today also. Tat's a good sign. Really gotta save up. Should upload the pics by tmr...

Bugis Street

Met up with Carisse today and went shopping at Bugis. We practically covered almost every inch of the shopping centre and more. She brought me to the new shopping paradise opp of Breadtalk, called Icon. It has 6 stories. The place is kinda cramp though. There's very little space for u to walk around and the shops are very small as well. Nothing fantastic there... But it started me off with the wedges/heels-searching. The pair tat i saw there resembles those at Pazzion.


Some Jap gigantic dolls for some new ice-cream. damn exp lei a cone cost abt $4. I wouldn't try though. weird flavors like green tea...


We went on to shop at Bugis Street and OG. Saw the heels there as well but none suits my size. Lucky i nv buy on impulse. Saw another pair of wedges with similar design cheaper by 15 bucks too. But there's no size for me also when i came back to buy. We went to get bubble tea and go OG first b4 returning. I bought another Guess bag. No surprise, really. Haha... Dun even have to consider this time round cos it's 50% off. Bought it straight away. A pity tat i couldn't get my hands on the wedges. They are quite nice to me. Oh well... Guess i have to look around or maybe wait for new designs... Spent a total of 75.90 today. Ka-ching...



Which is nicer? i still prefer the one on the left...

Omen

Went to watch omen yest with Jason. The ending is kinda expected. Satan never dies... But it is abit complicated in the middle cos we r not sure which priest was the one at the hospital. There were 2 of them. The seats at Tiong Bahru is quite lousy. Jason had a hard time sitting still throughout the show cos the space was not wide enough for his long legs. After tat, we went to the new Tiong Bahru mkt for dinner. can't find the char siew rice i wanted though. Jason said he's nv been there. Should hang out with me more often, dude. Haha... I'll bring u to more delicacies. B4 i met him, I even managed to do a 15-min shopping and bought a peddle-pusher. Am i the shopping queen or wat? Lol...

B calls me when i was on the train. He juz knocked off. We met at the prata shop near my house. He ate while i had Teh-Tarik. Gosh i have been on the comp for too long. U noe how the number pad on keyboard differs frm tat of a phone? The rows of 1, 2 ,3 and 7,8,9 are opposite. I have become so accustomed to keying in invoices tat i press the wrong numbers when i call people nowadays. Horrible...

As for today, nothing much eventful. Parcus, frm a supplier co, asks to see me. This is the first time someone actually asks for me at the reception. Found it weird when the receptionist calls me and said he's looking for me regarding some invoices. Weird guy, actually brought the invoices down himself. I tot he was only joking over the phone or will send his man down. Guess some ppl r really desperate for money. Haha... Right now, i'm awaiting curry for dinner. Hehe...

Seems like the ppl in my office r taking turns to be absent frm the office. Today, Chris is on MC. Learnt frm Alice (e new coll) tat Chris is not on the list of payroll tat she prepared yest. Dunno wat tat means. She's not part of the a/c dept? They say she's managed by the 3rd floor. Hmmm... No wonder she's not familiar with the work of invoices etc.

My dad picked me up after work. So sweet rite? Haha... Dun envy me. I noe my dad is the best. Initially i tot which car was horning at me sia. Then i saw a familiar Nissan. Vivian told me there's an adv for mystery shopper in the Classified today. But i can't seem to find it in the paper. I looked thru it many times and even asked my bro to look for me as well. Sounds good to be paid while u shop. I noe yufen is one but changi airport is too far away for me...

NUS advert


NUS made it to the ST forum once again. The bizad advert has created some controversy. Some ppl like it very much while others hate it like hell. It's abt some ang moh receiving a mail (acceptance to NUS Bizad) and exclaiming to her mother she's coming to S'pore. Think it doesn't really have an effect on me cos firstly, i'm not living overseas. Secondly, I'm already in NUS Biz! Haha... Not being arrogant here. But it really nv occur to me tat being part of NUS is something so glamorous and to be honored abt. Well, i guess i should start feeling tat way then. Haha...

Is advertising making NUS a commodity? Tat was a question posed by a writer in the papers. Hmmm... In my opinion, all organisations need some forms of promotion, be it non-profit, profit and also edu institutions. So advertising should be beneficial as it raises the popularity and more ppl will choose it. But i do think tat the adv is kinda cheesy too. Mayb the adv needs to be improved on...

I have finally completed the 80 over cheques today. It's not as simple as juz writing out the cheque. Still must print PV with all the invoices details, sign, stamp 'PAID' as well as update bank records. Waiting for the boss to approve. Then i shall sort them out tmr and call the suppliers up. This is the part tat i like - seems to be reaping ur harvest. LOL...

Wonderful weekend

Only 1 word to describe my weekend. Wonderful. It was the most relaxing. Didn't do much, juz eat & eat - Get fat! Lol... Started off with Katong laksa yest evening. It was nice but pretty small serving. Beng wanted to add tat the service was damn lousy. The auntie totally ignored him initially and was kinda arrogant when talking/passing of money etc. The couple seated next to us also suffered almost the same treatment. The guy ordered laksa and went back to his seat already. After tat, the auntie called out 'Whose laksa?'. She insisted on not serving even though there was no queue cos it was self-service i suppose. Then she asked whether they have paid after taking their bowl and have returned to their seats. Aiyoh... No system of keeping things in track at all.

Then, we went Cold Storage to get some chips. Went bk to watch Fearless by Jet Lee on DVD. But Beng was side-tracked by the Xbox and started to play some racing game. I was laughing my ass off watching him play. His first few rounds were damn hilarious. Kept banging into lamp posts, walls and even nabbed by police. Haha... But it really wasn't easy. I tried my hands at it. I even got turned around back to the starting point direction and dunno how to reverse back. He got better at it after a few more practices and some guidance. Haha...

Wanted to go Robinson for some mid nite shopping but it was pouring outside. Eventually we did watch Fearless. Feeling hungry again after the show. Headed to bukit timah for some pratas but it started to drizzle abit again. Therefore, we did not managed to eat there. Only took a spin round Adam Road. Haha... We ended up at Cold Storage again. Bought the sugar coated bread tat i have been lusting after and ICE-CREAM! Imagine cold weather plus cold dessert. Yummy...

B & I got the same habit nowadays. We will read b4 we sleep. Woke up around 11 this morn. This afternoon was also a lazy one. Rainy weather again. We chilled at Ya Kun Kaya Toast cos Breadtalk did not have the choc bread tat B wants. I did get a bread for work tmr. Sat down for some cheese toast, coffee and tea. Their toasts are nice. Watched the people and cars passing by. Kinda dreamy. Haha...

Then I'm back home for dinner. Did some chores like ironing. Loads of working wear has piled up over the weeks. Right now, i'm applying my Kose white mask (it's black in color though, no idea y they call it white mask. not tat i can see the whitening effect also) while blogging. Needa do some personal grooming once in a while. I have been lazy recently. Haha... Should apply hot oil on my hair next week too... Tat's if i rem. Off to bed soon...

Another episode of THE AGENCY

Ok brace yourself this is the longest entry ever...
As usual, this morn i call up my agency. I asked Irene how come not money has not come into my a/c yet. She tot i was talking abt these 2 weeks timesheets. I said it's regarding the shortfall amt. Created hell lotsa trouble. I was transferred to the a/c dept. The gal who spoke to me insisted tat they have done an internet transfer last friday and they have the confirmation slip. She also got my correct a/c no. I am also certain tat there was no such transaction tat went thru for my a/c. Nevertheless, she wants me to update my bank book and call up my bank. Ok i did tat afterward. But this is wat happened in the midst of our conversation where we start to hot up:

I demanded an explanation as to why such a thing happened in the first place. Know wat her reply was? "Everybody makes mistake, right?" Like duh?? I hate generalisation. Juz admit tat it was YOUR mistake, bitch!

Caroline (i learnt her name later): We dun intend to take ur money. In fact, we wanted to pay u along with the next pay check. But since u called up last fri and wanted it immed, so we did an int transfer (I nv said i need it immed and was juz calling to find out last fri. Damn it! Dun wanna admit their fault and still put words in my mouth. And if they sincerely wanna pay me during the next payout, y didn't anyone inform me of it? I bet my ass like they really will bank it in if i nv call in the first place.)
Me: You guys have no integrity.
Caroline, abit taken aback: How can u say tat? u r tarnishing our co's reputation.
Me: This is not defamation and i got proof of it. (thinking to myself 'do they have a reputation to begin with?') LOL...
Caroline: Furthermore, u r working for us.
Me: Tat's y i wanna quit! U guys made a mistake, nv even apologise and still dare to raise voice at me.
She started to quieten down, asked me Irene(my agent) nv say sorry meh? I said no and she said she will check tat out. Right again, as if she will...

Anyway, i did the checking with my bank and then called her bk. The guy at DBS told me tat the money would bounce back to their a/c since it nv came thru. Carol said she would check her internet banking records and do either an ATM deposit or OTC during lunch. Fine, i am pleased with tat answer.

But more confusion followed. Another gal frm JMC called Michelle buzzed me during lunch and said her colls r at the bank. They are, however, unable to bank in the money as there is something wrong with the a/c no. The bank teller gave them another a/c no or so she said. I called DBS once again and then called Mich back. My call was cut off when i was talking halfway with her cos i was in the lift. Call bk again. This time Irene came to the phone. Can tell she was exasperated already. LOL... Said she asked Wen, the HR manager in APP, to do her a big favor by passing me the money first. So this is how the whole thing was settled.

Tat's not it. Practically the whole office noe abt it already. When i came bk frm lunch, Chai Li told me tat the temps there get at least 7 to 7.50 (She was also one of the temps in the past and converted to perm). WTF!!! I am so cheated... I wish the co would juz take me in directly and need not go thru tat fucked-up agency. I need a better proposition man. Badly.

Indochine at Wisma

So i was at Indonchine of Wisma last nite. Didn't really drink much. Leslie ordered a jug of Carlsberg and the 3 of us, meaning YS, Leslie and me, shared. The rest of the frenz there are frm NYP. I dunno them. Another of YS's fren is KC, also some police commissioner soemthing. Leslie is looking to recruit tutors for various subjects. Anybody interested to be one, esp those living in the East? The whole nite they were making lame jokes with regards to racism and other stuffs. We even had supper at Newton after tat. They ordered seafood like stingray and crabs and also kan kong and mee goreng. I wanted to bring my camera but forgot. Therefore, I have no photo to upload.

Life is so unfair. Why r some ppl juz born rich? I often ponder abt this. But i noe there's no ans to it. Why is Yong Sheng given a car by his dad even b4 he got his licence? Such a good life. Anyway, he & Leslie insisted on giving treats. Feel so pai seh, esp with YH. He's always doing tat on the occasions tat we go out. Thanks alot guys! I guess i am blessed with rich frenz but not myself.

It has been raining almost the whole day since morning. Didn't really wanna get out of bed this morn. It was such a nice weather to sleep in. I wondered to myself why am i working so hard when it's my holiday and i should be enjoying it. Contemplating whether it should be my last day tmr. I'm feeling so lazy right now. And when i see my bro sleeping in and also naps when i come home after work...Aww... it makes things worse...

Job Offer

Received a call this evening frm another agency. Offered me a position also as accounts asst at Fortune 500 which he said is a subidiary of some MNC. Sounds good at first. It's at Tanjong Pagar but the pay is lower than my current one after CPF. So i dun think this is a wise move. I also told the guy abt my fucked-up agency. Spread the word around this industry...

Will call my stupid agency again this fri if the money is still not in. I dun wanna be an idiot, working for nothing. The issue now is abt integrity and trustworthiness. I'll ask to speak to their manager/supervisor this time round since tat usless 'senior' consultant is so incompetent. She did not mention tat it will come in with my next payout or anything. In fact, she said that she'll transfer the amt immediately. By cheque, machine or internet banking, the money should be in already. I can safely say tat i'm quite familiar with the banking system. Therefore, I'll go on to fight for my right...

Yong Sheng says wanna go Indochine later. So i shall update more abt tat tmr...

We had almost the entire cafe to ourselves cos it was still kinda early and ppl had not gather there yet. Wanted to have ice-cream waffle at Gelare cos today is tuesday which means it is half price. But both of us are so full and couldn't eat anymore. We decided to have it on another Tuesday.
Holland Village
The money supposed to be transferred from my agency is still not into my account yet. If i'm an auditor, i'll definitely be prejudiced against their accounts. Make sure to check thoroughly.

DKNY

Went shopping in town with Dianna & Yu Fen yest. Separately, not together. So can imagine how tired i was to shop frm noon till nite. I met Dian at Shaw Towers since she was doing her pedicure there. The color tat she chose this time round looks the same to me as the previous time lei. Dian & I went to Guess and CK boutiques. Though both of us tried some of the clothes at Guess, she bought a top but i didn't. I'm looking more for bags, shoes and watches. But overall, I'm happy with my purchases. Bought a DKNY watch for $100 which i think is a good bargain since the usual price is $235. Dian also has 1 DKNY watch which she bought last week(same bargain also $100). She told me she got it from Taka. Tat's y we went over to have a look. We combed the whole of Tangs but to no avail (the entire 3rd floor sells watches but i can't find one to my liking). Bought working pants frm Topshop and some lingerie as well. Spending close to $200 already. Die man...

After tat, Dian meet her bf while i went off to meet yu fen. Our main priority were the Dan Brown book and dinner. But still we shopped around at the same time. We headed to Robinson[the sales NOT worth waiting for] first. Helped Yu fen looked around for a mascara. Hope the one tat i recommend will work for her and her lashes wun droop down anymore. Let me noe the result :) Haha... we were in & out of the fitting room for numerous times also. Had dinner at long john again. Haha but i will nv mind lah. After tat, me & yu fen were walking around OG. I saw 1 of my guess bags on the racks for sale at 95 bucks. I bought it for $160. Damn it! Lucky i have yu fen with me. Otherwise, I would be ranting on and on abt the guess bag and succumb to other watch temptations. Thanks for dragging me away and reminding me that i juz got a watch today. Yu Fen also has a DKNY watch. Tat makes the 3 of us. Haha... Didn't take a photo of Dian's watch though. Finally, we chilled out at Starbucks cos yu fen has a craving for coffee or mocha to be exact...

Me & Yu Fen chilling outside OG

No idea why the watches pic cannot be uploaded.

will try again the next time...

Threaten = Inform

Fucked my agency early this morn. I called Irene and demanded an explanation for the shortfall in my pay. Inititially she said it could be due to CPF. I said impossible, i signed a form stating no CPF rem? (Pathetic small Pte Ltd co require tat) Both of us jolly well noe tat. And i continued 'Dun give me tat. CPF is 20% and the shortfall amt is not 20%'. I did my homework thoroughly, u see. She said has to wait for a/c dept to come in then she can find out and she'll get bk to me later. I asked her later is wat time? If I dun get a reply by today, then this will be my last day. She asked me back is this a threat? Haha... i was both sarcastic & sweet in a way. My reply: Oh no! I'm juz letting u noe (informing) tat i'll quit if i dun get my full pay. But is this mistake 'intentional' or pure carelessness? Tat was my priority. She called bk within 10 mins and said will transfer the shortfall into my a/c immediately. However, she did not give me an explanation as to why my a/c was credited with the wrong amt. Some more, she still dare to raise her voice at me.

FYI - The agency's name is JMC Employment Agency. It's located at Peninsula Plaza. Never ever approach them, ppl. For the record, this is not defamation/slander/libel. I got facts to support it (timesheets). Don't fool around with Linda or I'll make sure tat u come down. Hard.

Perhaps some of u might think tat i was rather harsh with them. But frm experience, I can tell u tat u got to stand firm when u go after ppl for money. I dun see anything wrong with going after my hard-earned money also. A credible and trustworthy company should not cheat clients even if it's not a big amt. Furthermore, it is my first payout and this kind of thing happened already. How can I go on to trust them?

Therefore, I'm on the lookout for other jobs again. If there is a good offer that comes by, i'll definitely jump boat...

Poly ex-schmate

Here I am blogging away at work. Guess who i met at lunch? Patricia! Long time nv see her. She's working in a shipping co at Toh Guan too. Said she seldom come out for lunch. That's y this is the first time i saw her. She's my poly ex-schmate. Used to work together in Deutsche Bank too. Such a coincidence.

Chris's bf's sis has passed away while her husband is in a coma. Very poor thing. He woke up once but fell bk to sleep again. Think he doesn't noe tat his wife has passed away. They even had a kid. They were involved in a bike accident in KL. (*Hint hint, b* now i wonder how u ride all the way to cambodia & bk). Heard he banged against the wall of a highway underpass so as to avoid a car or something. My condolences to them...

I headed to the library after work. And after tat, we had fish & chips as usual at West Coast. No, make it that I'm the one who had fish & chips while Beng had chicken cutlet. He wanted chop lei but i ordered wrongly. Sorry... Think my hearing also got problem liao. The damn agency has short- paid me! Shall call them tmr. If they dun give me reasonable explanation, I'm going to quit on the spot. The contract doesn't intimidate me anymore...
