Blue~

It's been a month plus now~ I'm still feeling blue~

The work is never-ending and it's piling up like nobody's business. I really wonder how they survived the heaps of sh*t work everyday. Maybe I'm too concerned over them? Cos sumtimes I see people don't really care about their fully packed cabinets. I still have 1 year and 11 months to go... and it's really tough starting out. I think those who think that our job is not challenging enough can come and join me... cos it's too challenging to even imagine how it's like.

Mum ever asked me before "So when is your off day?" cos I'm back home just to sleep and next day I'm off to work again. I told her there's no fixed off day for me although it was supposed to be "office hour". She said "What kind of job is that? Where got like that wan?" I told her "Bo Bian leh..." and then I kept wondering "What kind of job is this?"

People are leaving the place cos they can't take it anymore. I heard complaints everyday around me with only a handful of motivational words. But it doesn't help much. Maybe it'll keep me motivated for that day... but when it comes back to reality, the feeling remains the same.

The thoughts came back to me again~ should I or should I not? But I should not fail the expectations from those who have trust in me. I will see how the 1st 3 months go bah~ life is so miserable for me now *sigh*

1st Doll-House

This is my 1st doll-house.... *ahem* ya I know it's kinda childish~ but as long as I'm happy fixing it piece by piece, who cares? Anyway, it's really fun to fix the wooden parts together from scratch.

I'm Breathing

Yeah!! Finally I felt alive and breathing for the whole of this week~

Got the time to do the necessary stuff at my own pace and plan something for the weekend, which for the past two weeks, I only have the sunday to rest at home.

Okay... let's hope for the best! By the way this is my office desk... where I spent more time here than at home... for the past two weeks~

Getting Lucky Again

Am I lucky? Tell me after you read this...

Today I went to have my haircut at J8 after having lunch with Shirlene. She then went back to her own house cos she need to teach her cousin homework. She brought one set of our house key with her and I don't... and I totally forgot about it.

After my haircut I decided to go home instead of going to her house cos my stomach felt weird (meaning I need to sit on my 'throne'). So when I reached my doorstep, I realised I dun have the house key with me!! But I could see my own key on the study table in front of the door. It's so near and yet so far... and the distance can't be reached by using a typical broom (cos I saw two along the corridor). The only tool was something long... like "The Bamboo Stick" (those used for hanging clothes of cos). So I tried to look around the corridors at other floors but there was none. Although the chance of finding one is quite slim, but the hope is there~

Eventually after walking down 3 floors, the hope became so thin that I decided to go Shirlene's house to visit her 'throne' instead (dun forget at that time my stomach was still feeling weird). When I reached the void deck, I used my last hope to check the letterbox area where there was this dustbin and people usually like to discard their items there. And there lies my HOPE... "The Red Bamboo Stick" was waiting for me!!! Hahaha... can you imagine how happy I was?

So finally I managed to use the beloved red bamboo and got my key on the study table. I wonder if the people in the opposite block noticed my "bamboo actions" hahaha... I'm like commiting some kind of daylight HouseBreaking at my own house. Anyway now my stomach is fine and I am a happy person again~ so what's your opinion?

Sadz...

Juz had my 2nd War on 11 July 07~ it was considered a better tour than the 1st... but it made me felt lousy over an issue. Got my team-mate into a sh*t hole when he had to help me refer someone to another agency... and it took him almost 7 hours!!

I wonder why it had to take so long (about 4 hrs) to see a doctor at one of our Singapore's phychiatric centre. It's so inefficient but people have no choice but to endure the damn long waiting hours. But if they were to come and wait at my organisation for some kind of service, complaint letters would be flying in if we let them wait for too long... well, life is unfair~ so it's very hard to explain certain things in a logical way.

Anyway, I haven been resting well these two weeks. I'm practically working EVERYDAY, even on Sunday although I tried not to step into my office. But I was working from home. I could feel the stress that the guys are having from the current job, no wonder so many of them wanted to step down from the post, and some even wanted to resign. Purely from my team, 1 guys just tendered his resignation, 1 just told OC that he's resigning, 1 will be leaving for another unit, and a few kept having negative feedbacks about the job. I guess it was a wrong time for me to join the unit... it's so demoralising~ and I feel kinda moody since yesterday... *sobz*

1st of all, I felt really bad that I let my team guy suffered the 7 hrs plus (due to the long referral).

Secondly, I really spent too much time on the job... that I only left the office when the moon had appeared, to sleep at home and maybe had dinner before I reached home. Sooner or later, I'm gonna be a person with no life!!

Thirdly, imagine your team-mates are leaving one at a time when you just joined the team... it's like from 10 men becoming 6 men now~ manpower's really tight, which means the number of people to consult is lesser. Summore their workload had to be distributed to the others, adding on to the existing ones~ thereby increasing the stress level.

Will I be able to endure for the 2 years posting? They said if we can handle the 1st 3 months, we can do it for long... I really have doubts about myself~ but I will try to do it...

1st War

I had survived the 1st "war" of my new work environment!!

Let me count the hours I'm awake (physically) from 3rd July to 4th July... 37 hours wor~

I felt like I was some kind of Octopus... cos there were so many calls to answer at one time and I only can use one ear to listen (although I had three different handphones with me on duty). It was really a test on my multi-tasking ability. Whenever I finished answering a call, there would be like at least 2 miss calls (maximum is 5) from it. Anyway... it was really an exciting experience for my 1st duty~ so many things to learn and do (even though I already have 8 years plus of working experience in the related field). Learning is a never-ending process k?

It was really funny when I tried to at least complete one of the tasks that I was supposed to do after my 24 hour shift, in the office. Eyes were on the labby screen, fingers on the keyboard typing but my mind was actually sleeping. I dun understand what I typed at all... but I tried my best and finally I left my office at 6.50pm and slept at 8pm. What a looong day for me~ (and there's more to come... OMG)

Pics At Sentosa

Finally I can upload pictures taken by Adrian using his "powderful" camera at Sentosa. Actually must also compliment on his "powderful" skills if not next time he dowan to be our photographer liao *hehe*

Err... is he looking at us?

Shir: I wonder if his sideburn will come off the face?
Sze: Sorry Sir... please forgive her~

Because of Shir, I have to pay them "protection fees" *sigh*

This was my "throne" in ancient times

I must have owed them "something" in my previous life~

Speak No Evil - See No Evil - Hear No Evil

Sitting down with the "Ah Pek" to relax awhile

Care for some steamboat with ingredients displayed for ages liao?

Scary atmosphere among the "people"??

Nothing to describe this pic except for "cool"~

Maybe you guys can buy the numbers for 4D... lucky lucky~

Luge-ing in action after all the excitment... this is the ending point actually~
