Spider pig...spider pig

Had a fantastic week. A great movie & company really makes my day. :)

Steven drove down to somerset with Alex to have lunch with me on thursday. It was very sweet of them. Then we met again yesterday together with YT and we caught The Simpsons. It's darn hilarious. It's been a long time since i had a great laughter. Alex and me were laughing loudly but YT seems abit quiet. She probably didn't like cartoons.
Check out the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-O7Nteshv4 "Spider pig, spider pig. Does whatever a spider pig does. look out...he's spiderpig." LOL

After the movie, we went to look for Mag and the banking ladies who were at the KTV. Alex appeared strange when he heard KTV and then he revealed that some of the male colleagues brought him there previously and he was shocked. They went to the improper one if u know what i'm talking about. Shucks. scared the poor boy. "I've got VERY NICE colleagues.." Alex joked.

Elaine came down to meet us at the KTV and we proceed to Ice Cold Bar for drinks. Their chicken wings are yummy! She's been travelling to US alot and she got a coach bag for USD150! Levis jeans at USD20. so cheap...i also want to go!! She even went to Korea. how lucky. anyway, after we left the co. the corp comms manager resigned, 1 manager from retail resigned n 3 guys from service dept resigned. Way to go!! i think we spread the virus..opps. nay..the market is very hot now.

Meeting jozua, uncle L and HL tmr for our monthly food distribution. So glad Uncle L got a job. It's been tough. i feel like sleeping again..got a mild hang-over from last nite's drinks. zhen mei you yong.
till then. Zzzzzzz.

New Beginning

The only similarity between my ex and current co. is the place is just as freezing! Brrr. thankfully i've got 2 jackets with me in the office.
With the new job in town, i'm inclined to spend more. I tell myself with the additional pay increment i can afford more things so i bought and bought and bought. You can't imagine how much i've spent recently:

- Chest of drawers $250
- Clothes $150
- Shoes $60
- Dermabrasion package $430
- Unbilled items from Japan (thanks to Chris) which easily comes up to $100.
- Contact lense solution, cotton wool, , masks etc - $50

And then the loan shark (aka mom) starts to demand an increase for her monthly "protection fee". :(

It's ok i tell myself, at least the new job doesnt require me to carry heavy goods. I've been doing allocation and pricing, generating reports, collating statistics and other minor projects. It's all good and i can relate why i need to do these. It's definitely more focused than the previous job. However the moral in new co is low though due to high turnover rate. But i dont think i will let that affect me. The colleagues felt that the co. was disorganised but i didnt tell them that WN's much more worse. What's this compared to WN. Haha. it helps when u come from a tougher background i guess.

So jeffrey the salesman for SG& MY has left us. My boss Pete asked if i mind to help out with the SG sales while he handles the MY ones before the next person comes onboard. As such, I've been meeting a few customers with my boss last week and he's really good. The confidence he exludes is just amazing. No wonder he got promoted.

Colleagues are ok but i'm still the youngest in my team as one of them is calling me "xiao mei" all the time and that reminds me of my ex-colleagues. When i log in on my MSN, my ex colleagues are all messaging me telling me how much they missed me. Awwwww. so sweet. Even the german intern misses me ;p (ya..that cute little boy). I miss them too but again it's the same feeling when i left IF for WN. I always miss the staff. So this time round, i'm coping better. People come and go in your lives all the time. I just have to get used to it.

Ok. i better go prepare now.meeting my sec friends for a bday celebration.. We are having XO crab beehoon. Muahhaaha! till then peeps!
