4/12/07
-Changed my job scope again. =/. This time round, heard from my dept manager that i no longer need to cover the work for Mr. Tay while he's on leave. I'd be touching on Import permits.
-Therefore, attached to this malay guy to learn how to deal with permits. This malay is kinda fun to work with. He looks like the heck-care kind of guy and i think he really is.
-In addition, i heard from my manager that this import permit thingy is easier to deal with compared to the work im covering for Mr. Tay. So i was kinda glad.
-Well, it is less tense and more relaxed, i'd say. But till today, im still very shaky as to wad to do. This permit thingy is also very impt. If i dun handle them well, and the containers get detained at the port, customers would have to pay the demurrage/detention fines and complain. Like wth rite?
-Hence, as a very inexperienced intern who hardly has got any exposure to permits, it's stressful to work here. But the malay guy reassured that he'd be more than happy to guide me and help me to handle the permits, so im kinda reassured. And also, he told me that the word "Overtime aka OT", never exist in the import dept. So yeah!!!
-After that, i went to Marina Square and met up with darling. She was late><... Haha, but once i saw her, all the troubles and stress seem to lighten by quite abit=DD... Always looking foward to meeting her =).
-We walked around the mall for like 10 mins before proceeding to Suntec to find tanch, wq, and kapo. Took us a freaking long time to find KFC, where the 3 guys were at.
-When we finally found KFC, we were like wth, dint we just pass by tis place-_-'''? And Kapo, upon seeing us coming together gave a sian 1/2 face. I think he's jealous! Wahaha!
-Wq told me that he has gotten into Pes E-.-'' while Chee How got into a pending status, D. Damn envy of wq! Knn, cb NS, put me in Pes B. Go and die pls! Arghhh!
-Jingjing came also a moment later. We chatted for awhile before kapo and wq went home.
-The rest of us, Jingjing, tanch, darling and i went to the esplanade to lang man ji xia. rotfl!
-The rooftop was kinda crowded. We were kinda sians 1/2, upon seeing the crowd. After that, Jingjing with tanch, and darling with me, went separate ways to zi you huo dong.
-Darling and i found a quiet area to er ren shi jie. Unfortunately, 2 fucking security guards better known as TP came 10 mins later, disturbing us! WTH PLEASE?!
-So we went to find jingjing+tanch, and to enjoy the breeze. Really very romantic, i'd say. It's gonna be perfect if the crowds decrease to just us. Lmao!
-Caught the last bus home. Miss darling alot!><
5/12/07
-Work today was really pressurising! In the morning, i told my manager that i wanted to take leave from the 27th to 31st Dec to go overseas.. She said she'd check with the HR dept 1st.
-I've got to "take my hat off" for the efficiency of my company. 10 mins into telling my manager i wanted the leave, my lecturer gave me a call.
Ng Thiam Chye: Eh ah, yk, i heard that you have been taking a lot of leaves for your attachment.
YongKang: Where got? So far, took only for the Hari Raya leave in lieu, 2 days MC and 1 for my NS medical.
Ng Thiam Chye: No, i mean, the leaves u are going to take after that. Are u taking any?
YongKang: Yah, im taking leave for after Christmas.
Ng Thiam Chye: Eh! if it's not official like NS medical etc, i'd wouldnt approve of it also. You got to rmb that u have to fulfill 1000hours of IAP for this sem. *Blah blah blah blah*...
YongKang: Eh, ok lor....
-Yup, alot more were said, but the leave thingy is the main issue here. I was really freaked out, and very emo during work. One of my darkest days in years. Saddddd!
-Working wise was crap also. While doing the permits, i realise a number of customers dint submit theirs, and i'd to call them and rush them for it.
-The customer who made me really dulan was Abbot Laboratories. Knn, calling them can really make yr blood boil. Transfer my call here and there. After that, they told me, i dun really know about the import dept in here. Is there a mistake or something. I was really like wth?!!!! They told me tt they'd call me back later, which i dint receive any-.-''
-I told the malay guy who taught me. He replied, "aiya, dun care already. Just submit can already. Let them pay the demurrage charges themselves." Lols, i was like, hahaha. wth can
-So working under tremendous stress is not good de. I miss my laopo, i was freaked out by my lecturer, and lastly, by my really unclear and limited knowledge equipped for my current task. STRESS PLEASE! But stress also bo bian. Work is lidat de. Kao!
-After work, went to find laopo. She's such a darling please. She actually cooked for me! How touching can this get? Gosh! And i was asked to head down to her hse. Freaking nervous lahh
-But her family members are friendly de. So im kinda relieved. But still abit nervous, scared and shy. Lmao!
-Tanch and jingjing came also. Darling invited me to take a look at her photo albums. Haha, she's really very adorable as a child. And she kept whining that she gets uglier as she grows older. -_-
-No lor, if yr ugly, why so many pple want to woo u sia? Im insecure pls =P... She's like where got ugly lor? In fact, she's really very chio to me lah! like the perfect gf can?! xD
-After that, we went downstairs for a walk. Played at the fitness corner and chatted. While tanch sent jingjing home, darling and i were chatting at the void deck. She told me how she developed a phobia for creepy crawlies esp paper wasp, when she was younger.
-Very interesting and funny. I guess each of us has their own fears. Likewise, im scared of ghosts and needles. ><
-Left for home at around 11.20pm and really tired at home. Called darling and slept.
-As for now, im supposed to be calling customers again. But im really not in the mood to do so. That's why im bloggin. Hais! Tmr is friday. Looking foward to it! Whee. =D
