Bad Day In Office

-
My day in office was bad today. First thing was that a client tried to put words in my mouth by sending an e-mail telling me that I have said that this particular item withholding tax rate is X%. I have documented in my email to her previously that the withholding tax rate for that item to be at the prevailing corporate tax rate. I called her up & told her in Mandarin, not to get me into trouble as I still need my job as my family needs my support. I feel that next time if I had a chance, I may just get back at u. It doesn't pay to be nice to u, as u have treated me so nasty. I shouldn't have given u my hp no. when u asked from me in the first instance, when I joined the company, cos u have been bugging me over my weeknites & weekends too. Looks like I may have to follow my Sister Elaine's method in setting up a " Nasty Pest" Caller Group. There are now several people I wish to put there.

Heard from my colleague, W that the prawn manager had told him that I walked like Charlie Chaplin. If that sounds familar, it was the same remark given to me by Q a few weeks back. Wonder who started it 1st? Anyway, I didn't hear from the horse's mouth, but if I were to hear it again, I guess it will be my time to bring it up to my bosses and let him see to the sacking.

Also heard from W that the manager said I "was acting to be busy". I am so sorry to disappoint u, but to say I am really busy and I don't think I report to u, as I report directly to my boss, so I greet u Mr is a respect to u, cos u are the most senior here. I feel that u should spend more time on spotting the mistakes made by your audit dept and not to cause us to lose more clients. Some of the mistakes which I spotted and reported to boss are considered to be amaetur and if it were to happen in my ex firm, u guys will be asked to leave.

I think I made the right choice to put my back up plan in action last week. If it doesn't work, I will stay on and continue for the sake of money and my birthday bash coming up. Although mum & Sis Elaine are against the back up plan, I feel that the back up can offer me with a greater exposure with a similar benefits package that I am holding onto now. Let's hope I be selected.

Elaine, my clients keep me going for my job.

I have some very good clients. One of them, a famous hairstylist in Singapore, his PA gave me durians & rambutans when he was in Malaysia & sent to my house personally.

Is it because of my gd work?

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
