questions

Yesterday 2 people asked me some weird questions...

Q1 - In the morning when I was taking the lift up to the office, there is another lady in the lift with me. I recognise her, her office is also in the same level as mine. Out of the blue, she asked me whether I am doing sales. I said no and in the back of my mind I was thinking do I look like I am doing sales when I was dressing down with just jeans, a black T-shirt and sandals. I am really curious why she asked me that question.

Q2 - At night around 8plus my boss called me in the office. As my colleague is leaving end of the week, my boss was asking me about the status for the recruitment of the new qs. As it is now towards the end of the year, there are not much applicants and so far I only interviewed 2 people. Then my boss asked me, "why not I pay you more then you do all by yourself?" #$%^&*@ Of course I did not say yes to his suggestion. How on earth am I going to do 2 person's workload??!! I am not superwoman. Now I really have to pray hard that there will be more applicants. :(

death note

Me and jackson went to catch "Death Note" last night. It was quite an interesting movie. The storyline followed quite closely to the manga except that Light is a high school student in the manga rather than an uni law student in the movie. Towards the end of the movie, there is a twist of plot and the movie ended with Light wanting to join in the Investigating Unit. So there is will be a part 2 coming up and of course I will be watching it to know what the twist of the plot will lead us to.

I enjoyed the show very much and it seems like the trend now is to produce shows from manga, just like "Gong" which was a huge success. I find the manga shows are very witty and funny and the storyline is rather unusual, something different from the usual TV dramas and movie.

Looking forward to part 2...

ndsl + prank?

Borrowed ndsl from my nephew...yes nephew! my cousin got him a ndsl which I am yearning to get. so I decide to borrow from him to test play then decide whether to get or not. Also got my bro to borrow 'brain age' from his boss to test play too. There is the result....a brain age of 37! Good? The ideal age will be 20, so I am not far from it.


Just saw a small highlight of the latest game in 8days for ds which is 'cooking mama'. Looks very fun and it is tempting me to go get a ndsl! The urge and temptation is really killing me! Who is going to save me? Haha!

Just receive a sms from M saying that ZX is now in coma in a KL hospital. Later on D called me to explain the whole thing to me as R told her everything. Apparently ZX was in a business trip in KL and he was involved in a car incident. Because of this, ZX's family is in need of money as they want to send him back to Spore and the cost of getting a helicopter is US$20,000! Upon hearing this both D and me was puzzled and in doubt. However when D called M to confirm about the news, M scolded D for not believing as nobody will play such a prank especially on a friend's life. According to R, they are trying to raise a total of $5,000, so 10-15 people will have come out with $500 each. So should we believe?

Anyway after much discussion, M will go and get the hospital name and we will get V who is now living KL to hop over to the hospital to vertify the whole thing. Hopefully tomorrow we can get an answer.

coordinator?

In the afternoon, I received a sms from a client. It read like this "You have to inform all the sub con for xxx renovation and give them the schedule." *faint*

I am not the coordinator for the project! I am only the qs...starting to find work here very vexing. On top of my qs roles, I have to be part time coordinator and also part time purchaser. Why the work system here has changed so drastically? Because of the lack of coordinators and increase in projects? Then why in the first place we accepted so much project? Sigh!

Really getting sick of the work...want to escape from work and take a good rest...but I doubt I have that luxury of time. :(

bad friday again

So many problems with work lately especially when Vivo City is having their soft launch on 7th! Need to rush to complete a couple of shops but there is too many projects and not enough coordinators. In the end I have to be part-time coordinator, helping our PM to coordinate abit of the fixtures for Fancl. All in all we have 4 projects in Vivo City and another 2 more in Parkway and Novena Square.

Then got a duno-whether-good-or-bad news yesterday, my qs colleague has tendered his resignation. That means I have to work with another new colleague and most likely Ihave to teach that person from scratch. However now is Oct, dont know whether there will be many job appliciants for this position. It seems the construction industry is lack of qs now, not to mention interior works. Sigh. But I feel happy for my colleague as he is able to move on to a better job with better prospects, pay and benefits.

Starting to feel tired already, tomorrow is my off day but I dont feel like coming back...
