this post has been stucked in my 'draft' inbox for quite some time.. cos i dun really have a time to sit down n write.. haha.. so, pls note that this will be quite a long post.. it's supposed to be a summary post for my Aug.. now already mid Sep liao.. hahah..
oh ya.. as i m writing as of today, 19 Sep.. i suddenly recalled that today marks the 2nd yr of working life as a perm.. so fast.. but at the same time, i feel like i've been working for many yrs liao.. lol.. the worklife has really made me feel that i m not that young anymore.. i got tired more easily.. as such, there are quite a number of things which i wanted to do, but ended up no time, no energy to do.. sigh...
anyway, back to the focus of this post:
August = wat a month.. full of ups and downs.. got joys, laughters n anger.. super busy mth indeed..
=angriest moment in my work life=i was informed abt the job rotation on 10aug (note the word 'informed') on 11aug, my ex-colleague told me that she saw a job ad which is quite similar to my job scope. she thought either my buddy or myself is leaving the company, hence got this ad. at that point of time, i was boiling mad... it is so rare that they acted so fast in hiring new staff.. it's the very next day u know?!
i was not given a chance to say 'no' to this job rotation at all!! regardless i agree or not, they will still go ahead with the hiring of my replacement.. i feel sooooooo not being respected.. hated the way they handled this case.. not that job rotation is not good - i am quite supportive of this as i can learn new things and at the same time, i am already quite sick of my current job scope.. but.. what if i am not ready for this job rotation? what if i am not agreeable? there is really no chance of saying 'no'.. so angry..
so now, i'm doing my current job, learning my new job scope - doing abit hand-ons and getting training.. hope my replacement will come in by oct.. otherwise.... haiz.... i hope it wont come to the stage where i need to work both scope.. will get crazy de!! replacement better come in by end of sep, so that i can handover my things to her while i am in my current position.. otherwise, it will be quite tough for me to handover while i am working on my new portfolio.. haiz..
anyway, as of today, heard my replacement is coming in mid-Oct.. and i am changing my workstation on 1 Oct.. so this will mean from now till my replacement is in, i am doing both my current and new portfolio.. crazy!! if my current portfolio has not been so overloaded, i am still ok with this.. but now, it's peak period for my current portfolio ler *pout* i have been working OT for the last week, with no breaks at all (except for lunch).. so exhausting.. morning do my work, after lunch go for training, after training ended, it is usually near knockoff time, but i couldn't go as i need to clear some of my current work, otherwise it will pile up.. haiz.. should i be grateful that my replacement is not here yet - as i do not need to make time to teach her my current job?
as i am already super busy during working hours, so meaning to say, i need to burn some of my weekends to prepare the handover document for my replacement.. sianz... so reluctant to do!!
think i've grumbled enough.. got to stop here.. otherwise, this will become a grumble post.. haha..
=sweet bday surprises=had wonderful surprises from dear dear..
he appeared outside my house at 12am with a bouquet of roses, followed by a cake then a big teddy bear =) he said that the bear can keep me company while he is away for 2 mths (still got 2+ wks to go!).. hee.. anyway, the only thing that spoilt the whole atmosphere was - he put the exact no. of candles on the cake!! so 'insensitive' =p
on the night of my bday, he brought me to this atas dining place, he didnt want to let me know the venue, only to inform me to wear nicer. hmmm.. but as we are reaching the car park, i roughly know the dining place liao, still i remained as i'm unaware.. hee.. i think he knew i know liao =x the atmosphere of the dining place was so good that at that point of time, i thought i am a 千金小姐.. lol.. beautiful sceneric view, delicious and exquisite dishes and most importantly, dear dear is with me ^^
=happy gatherings=Aug is always a happening mth.. that's y it's also one of my fav months! hee..
there are many Aug babies around me esp in our P&Ps grp.. keke.. so we have 2 bday gatherings together.. so fun to gather together lo.. but the fun time is always so short *pout*
besides bday gatherings, i met up with my ex-colleague too.. did some catch ups and chatting.. feel sorry for her that she was backstabbed by her colleague thus, ended up being asked to leave after a few mths work there only.. that colleague of her is so horrible! luckily, she has been offered a few jobs now.. all sound much better than that horrible workplace..
had a few ktv sessions too.. so happy =) (sidetrack: i seriously need 1 now.. so stressed!! who wants to go with me? pls pardon my awful singing.. hehe..)
oh.. there was a team bonding cooking session in Aug.. but i've missed it as i was sick.. so sad =(
=jap exam=i was soooo not confident taking the Int4 exam.. worried that i will fail it.. cos i didnt have much time doing revising.. luckily, i managed to pass it with a very borderline scoring.. haiz..
i've thought of stopping at this stage due my result is so poor and i dunno if i managed to squeeze out time, but, if i stopped here, it will be quite wasted? oso, there is a mth before the next level, i can use this time to catch up.. so i decided to advance to the next level.. which i quite regretted now.. haiz.. i think i'll be super busy with work next mth.. wl~ i think i'll need a year to complete PA1.. haiz..
=jap trip=yeah! it's confirmed.. so looking forward to it, but at the same time, dun want it to come so fast..
all becos of the stupid job rotation which upset my whole plan.. 1st, it upset my Jap class, then helping with the preparation for Bro's wedding, then the whole mini renovation/tidying of house.. now this trip.. haiz..
with the new job scope, my peak period is always mid mth.. i hope i can clear as much as possible.. as there is no one to cover my job except for my new sup who is always tied up with work.. i have not officially applied leave as the approving sup is still my current de.. or maybe i shld go ahead to apply? anyway, i have verbally mentioned to my new sup, all she said is that i need to make sure i have finished all the letters/contracts that are supposed to submit to payroll (by 15th) before i go.. looking at the calenday, 15 Dec is a Wed, which means I have to settle all those by 10 Dec, Fri but usually it'll be quite hard.. cos approvals etc usually come in nearer to 15 Dec.. gosh.. jialat.. maybe i shld go to work on 11Dec, Sat to see how much more i can clear.. hmmm..
back to topic.. i know this trip will be very enjoyable unless anything crops up *touch wood*.. keke.. abit pity is that we are only going for 7 days.. cannot go too many places otherwise it will be quite rushing, then might as well go for package tour which will be cheaper overall.. hurhur.. hopefully can catch a glimpse of snow during the stay there.. hehe..
anyway, i think i'll be very broke after this trip.. haha.. i'm starting my saving plan for this trip though.. hopefully can offset abit..
