random blabbers

been meeting quite a few people in my dpt these months. many come and some have left. and i hv been assigned to be the buddy or mentor to these newbies. faced with an unhappy incident today. right in front of the boss A appears to be so confident. she doesnt need to tk down wat the boss is saying tho its just the first mth into her work. but then once of out the boss' eyes there i get phone calls from A asking me what to do. and in front of boss, A has already mentioned that she knws exactly what to do. apparently it gives the boss an impression that I learn thgs slow cos i hv been in the co for a period longer than her. Have tried to tell myself that maybe she is just unsure thats why need to ask again. but hey this is happening too many times to make me believe she is purely unsure. well i m just gg to be a nice buddy and teach her whatever she needs to know. at least i have fulfilled my responsibility.

work has been really bad in these recent mths. just because i m new to the working world, know less things and hence more questions, i hv gotten facial expressions telling me " oh this is so easy, u mean you dont knw? " and " oh stop asking" though not spoken, all these hurt. much more than hurtful words. well i wont say all the ppl in my co is like that. some are really nice and i really appreciate them for that.

and the most maddening thg is others can ask even stupider qn and not get such expressions just cos they will 'retaliate'. its just so unfair. well no matter what i just keep telling myself that i dont need the gain the favour of all these ppl. They may treat me badly but i knw I have God's favour and we are all precious in God's sight.

on a better note tmr i will be knocking off 1.5 hr earlier. claiming time off. well cheap thrill cos its only 1.5 hr earlier which means running out at 430 but well better than nothg. Maybe i will drop by town b4 heading home. need to destress. seriously i nv appreciated shopping alone until i started work. sometimes u feel so cooped up at work then i just wan to be alone. away from everythg and everybody.

and tmrs thu. and at least there is cG to look fwd to for thsi wkend! gdnite =D

Gestures can be small but they are real sweet =D

My mosquito catching session on Wed was really tiring. We were deployed to a place thats really far from the meeting pt. and thats not the worst. the worst was i was taking a break at the playground when i got bitten by some poisonous mosquito. why do i say poisonous? cos its been 3 days since i got the bites and they are so swollen still. :( but through this incident, one of my closest colleague suz really made my day today.
I reached office in the morning to see one tube of mopiko resting on my keyboard. Suz left it on my table cos yest i was complaining of this really itchy big fat mosquito bite on my back. and there the mopiko was sitting on my table the very next day i reached office. so touched :) its really a small gesture but its really the thought that counts. in a workplace its really difficult to find a gd friend.

being young is not always the best thg to happen on earth. why? some ppl just dont tk u seriously just cos u are younger, have less work experience.its like 2 ppl make the same mistake but the effects of the mistake is just so different. eg person A forgot to do sth for the boss. the boss would just remind her to do so and let her knw the consequences. Person B forgot to do the same thg. but guess wat happen? person B got scolded jokingly like wah u wan to die ah. this kind of thg also can forget blah blah blah...tho all this can come as a joke, however it will get really irritating if this preferential treatment gets into the picture too often.

ok tmr is cleaning day. i m gg to clean my room and pack all my old clothes and bags. its taking too much space in my hse. shall go sleep now to conserve as much energy as i can for tmr.

Thanksgiving and prayer requests for the week

This week has been a v productive week.

I managed to complete the church camp booklet despite the fact that this week is the mth end closing week and not to forget I need to 'take care' of my new colleague as work since I m her buddy. Though I didnt manage to sleep enough due to all these tasks, but I am really thankful to God for sustaining me. I felt tired but I could still function. Thank God for the motivation He has given me and definitely the wisdom He has bestowed upon me. =D

One last session of community service this week. Hopefully its really the LAST. at least hope its the last of this mth. >_<

New portfolio at work

This week we just got to know our new portfolio at work. Reshuffling of dpts under our care. Managed to throw away 4 of my dpts. But I was assigned 3 returns in return for the 4 dpts which were taken from me. Out of these 3 returns, 2 are due half yearly and 1 due quarterly. That means Oct and Apr of each year will be my busy-as-a-bumble-bee period again. Esp apr. with Audit, year end closing, I thk I gotta be prepared.

No doubt getting new assignment is a gd exposure as I get to learn more things. However, I wonder if i can manage. It took me almost half a year to get to understand the ops of the dpts under my care. Now that I m finally getting a better hold of things, I got to give up some of my dpts and get new assignments. Thankfully the person who is going to handover the assignments to me have done a clean job previously.

ok time to start with on my annual report. Laters!

First post of the year ;-)

Time really flies when u start working.I cant believe I have actually worked for 9 mths!! Well if you ask me how is working life I wouldnt say its bad but I wont say its exceptionally good either. Sometimes you can feel so disheartened when all the unsettled issues go the wrong way but on the opposite, when you have walked to the end of the tunnel, you really feel a great sense of accomplishment. And the only thg that keeps me going is this belief which was further enhanced upon during the last YAF: God put you in your workplace for a reason. He may put you there as a blessing to others or He may put you there to learn. Yes I do agree. After working in my current company for a few mths, I have "grown up". "grown up" in the sense of 1) being stronger in my accounting knowledge 2) learning hw to type tactful emails which at the same time is assertive and 3) being able to cope with many tasks all at the same time. and now that i have "grown up", I will be the buddy of my new colleague whos reporting to work on monday!! Hee so excited to have a new girl ard....hopefully we can click real well cos she'll be my diagonal neighbour :)

Well on a happier note, I have been on retail therapy for the past wkend and today!!! M)phosis sale is great! bought 3 tops and i went to this branded sale. got myself branded shoes that were on sale! $15 each and buy 3 get 1 free!!

And the happiest thg is I bought myself a pair of red heels today. Love them man. Been looking real hard as I have a small feet and its not easy to get a covered heels that fit my puny feet. Been really relaxed today... a simple half day out of the office certainly have cheered me up and definitely I can work better next wk. Cos next wk I do not have much time for work as there are too many activities lined up egs catch mozzies....

ok time to zzzz and get ready for a fresh sat cos tmr's a cg day!
