Meet Up With Ex Colleague

-

Yesterday was another long day for me as my manager and me as we still have many Form Bs & Form B1s to be cleared. We were stuck with 2 audit jobs, that were on an urgent basis. It meant that we had to work till about 7.30pm. It didn’t help that my senior may be going on leave due to some personal matters at home.

But I still found time to meet up with my ex colleague, SC, who resigned abruptly two months ago. We had a good chat for about 4 hours, where he shared with me the reasons about his abrupt resignation. Apparently, it made me felt that I may have played a part in it, but SC was quite positive to say, even if THAT PERSON didn’t make life difficult for him at work, he would have left the job sooner or later as he had problems adapting himself to the environment.

He also encouraged me to break away from my shell, and try to interact more with my colleagues so as to make my working at the office smoother. He noted that my colleagues at the audit department may have the mistaken belief that I was at fault for the incident, mentioned in the “Notes to The Financial Statements” that caused my relationship with the rest of the audit department colleagues to be strained. THAT PERSON seems to like playing “office politics”, going around telling my audit department colleagues and secretarial department colleagues that I am a difficult person to get along with. Nowadays, Paul is having lunch alone nowadays as some people fear having lunch with me nowadays.

I have tried my best to correct this, but I guess it takes time to change my colleagues’ perception about me. Maybe, all will change for the better from 1 April.

It is good to see SC so happy in his new job. I hereby wish him all the best for his new job!!!

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.
