Today is really a big office shake up. Our CFO called for a meeting at 6.20pm and made the below announcements:
1. Foreign import of my dept => Head of Finance (News of head of finance resignation came last Friday during Happy Hour)
2. Colleague N will be taking over the duties of foreign import => CFO mentioned that she is "promoted" makes me wonder is promotion in terms of job scope, pay or level or everything.
3. Colleague G from Finance will be transferred to my dept.
4. They will hire another person to replace colleague G.
My thoughts, mixed feelings on the "promotion" part on Colleague N. On 2nd thoughts, i know where i stand so i know the reason for not "promoting" me. My only concern is work rotation and major shuffle among job duties.... Sianz....
In fact, all these happenings made me more determined to leave the company. I m already panicking inside my heart when i knew the work i done will lead me to nowhere. Looking at how the management does things further disgusted me especially on the headcount freeze & stuff. Imagine they re cutting our pay to cut costs & yet they re talking about replacement? Makes no sense, spending $$ whereby it should not be spending.
PK is very supportive, his advice is for me to get the bonus & leave the company without a job if I really can't take it. During the last interview that i went, the potential employer is quite of sianz to hear about me having to give 2 months notice. Furthermore, resigning now is not a good option coz I need to serve 2 months notice & i will have to forgo my 13th mth AWS too.
Well, i guess i just have to be patient like what ah fry advised and adopt a wait & see approach. :)

So touched...
Piglet is turning 2 on this coming Saturday...
She is a lucky gal as she has received her birthday gifts before even the actual day.
What touched me the most is the Barney DVD she received from her Gonggong! Dad was complaining to me why she loves Barney so much coz he wanted to buy her a Snow White one.
I m touched by Dad's gestures as he is financially tight now and he still bothers to get something for her!

Someone from the office
I used to get along ok with this someone from the office - P. P just got promoted to the same level as SS (Smart Superior).
On my way out to lunch, I saw P at the lift lobby. Her fingernails was coated with crystals/stones that sparkled, her diamond rings on both hands also sparkled. At that moment, I was made even more dizzy by the sparkling stones that I really need to put on a pair of sunglasses to block out the glare. She was decked out in labels from head to toes.
Even since she has been promoted to the director level, she has been more flashy than ever in terms of her outward appearance and attitude. The most apt Chinese term to describe her is, "暴发户". I was thinking to myself, "Does power do this to people?" Looking at P's boss, A at Sr Director level doesn't behave in this manner and I still can joke & laugh with her but not P.
P just disgusts me to no point and I must say she is like a lesson for me, to learn how to be humble coz I might turn out to be like P and disgusts others to no point too. Now, I wonder how to reach the level like A?

Weddings, weddings
This month, I have 2 weddings to attend. One in Singapore while the other is in my Mum's hometown, Bentong, Pahang.
Told PK about the SG one as it was quite last minute. Originally, we re not invited as the affair was meant to be a small one as it was a 2nd marriage for my family friend. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the groom's side needs to add tables to the banquet, thus the invitation to us.
PK was like, how come 2nd marriage still like so grand? As based on our rationale, usually it will be a quiet affair but for my family friend, she has another wedding banquet & wedding photos taken. I was like, "Search me?"
As for the other wedding in Msia, it was long planned and it will be a church wedding cum lunch. It is also a family friend and I looked forward to it! As i really missed the weddings held in small towns where it is a more initimate affair! :)

Buey tahan PK....
Yesterday, I told PK that Mum bought the mattress so that she can have a better nite sleep if she 's bunking over at our place.
Then, we re discussing which mattress to throw for the daybed. Currently, the daybed has 2 mattresses, one is the standard that comes with the daybed & the other is the feather mattress pad over it.
So, I suggested that to throw both away. PK said no and that he wants to keep the feather mattress pad by exclaiming," 它跟了我这么久，有感情的ok!!!" I laughed loudly upon hearing his outburst!

Mum is bad... very bad...
Yesterday, I met up with Mum at Raffles City Shopping centre after work as Mum wants to get this Samsonite Cabin lugguage & Robinson card members has a special price for it.
So after the Ben & Jerry's Banana Spilt sundae we had, we went to check out the lugguage. In the end, we didn't get it coz its not big enough as a cabin size lugguage. We went to Coach to check out the keyfobs but it was closed for the day.
Then we went to Agnes B and checked out their bags. Mum & I were discussing about the bags' design & functionality. While I went to the mirror with a bag to see how it looks, there is this lady who looks pissed off with me for "sharing" the mirror space.
She was carrying this bag made of plastic (similar to my Harrods' plastic bag) and kept on admiring it in the mirror. We overheard her telling the sales assistant that she has been THINKING about this bag over last weekend & for the past few days.... Finally the lady put down the bag and I requested to see it...
The sales assistant told us the bag is a NEW ARRIVAL!! Well, the bag is nice but it doesn't deserve the $195 price tag. Guess what Mum said, "Aiya, this bag is only good as a SWIMMING BAG!!!"
The expression on that lady's face is priceless. We deduct that she wont buy the bag after hearing Mum's comments!

The Drummer Bee Lantern that plays Techno Music

Parents....
Recently, something happened on the home front that rendered alot of unhappiness among the siblings and the parent.
Last nite, Dad was patting Ms Piggy to sleep (usually Ms Piggy demands that from her fave Gong Gong) and he asked me about a family friend's upcoming wedding date. I mentioned to him that I dunno the date and he raised his voice to me,"I m not fooling around with you. I m talking serious."
I was like, "WTF" inside my mind and I retorted to him that I seriously DO NOT know the date coz i was not invited to the wedding. I got out of the room and went to complain to Mum about his action. Frankly speaking, he could have just got me to ask Mum when is the date instead of raising his voice & attempted to express to me how "SERIOUS" the matter is or rather showing me that he is the FATHER and I should not mess with him.
Mum told me that she doesn't feel like attending the wedding with him and fortunately, the family friend has kindly arranged both of them to sit separately at the wedding. I was like, "Ok" and chatted with Mum on a friend's mentality on something.
I was telling Mum that its a dilemma for me on how to treat Dad nicely. He gave us alot of problems yet he raised us and gave us an education. Furthermore in the past, he doted on his niece rather than Sis & I. Now, he loves Ms. Piggy more than anyone of us and will always be the first one to help me with Ms. Piggy.
Mum was asking telling me how difficult it is for her to face Dad now and she seriously can't stand the sight of Dad now. Seeing them in this kind of situation, there s nothing I can do as their problem is deeply rooted and been there for many years. All I could do now is be their messenger.
