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...

bad friday

Today is really not a good day for me. In the morning, I just discovered that the MacDonalds near the Kallang Mrt has reinstated! That means I have lost my one and only place to get breakfast while on my way to office. Sigh! No more fish fillet burger or saugage mcmuffin on Saturday mornings. That area is going to enbloc, thats why the shop tenants are starting to move out as I guess the HDB blocks are going to be demolished very soon.

Next, 2 of my colleagues asked me the same question - "did you tell the sliding door contractor when to install or when is the handover date for the shop?" wtf! I am not the site coordinator and I have already give the contact of the contractor to our coordinator. It is up to him to arrange with the contractor when to install the door. If I am going to arrange all these things, I might as well be the site coordinator and not QS! Why dont they asked him that question, why me?

Next, I am having flu (dont know what kind) and my throat feels tickish. Wanted to go home early but work is keeping me back in the office.

Finally, it is friday night and I am still stuck in office with flu. Hopefully I will be getting tomorrow as will be going to JB with sis and jackson. Sis is going there for her annual eye checkup so me and jackson are her bodyguards. Haha!

Ok, enough of blogging, time to get back to work....

my ddung

Finally got my ddung gal! All thanks to sandy! She ordered from a china buyer and got her dad to bring back for us when he was there. So there is she!

She is dressed in a checked dress with a embroided apron and carries a straw bag. She is so cute!

Jackson scolded me for getting another doll...but who can resist her charms...definately not me...haha!

fave things

There is Mica. She is showing off her favourite things. That is her favourite brown knee length boots and also her brown suede sling bag. She love them to bits!

touch down

Finally I was back in Spore, touched down last sun afternoon. Only managed to get a 2 hrs nap and I have to get prepared to attend a wedding dinner at Sentosa. The serving of the food was very slow, our last dish was served at 11pm! By the time I got home, it was already 12am! Tired! Then on sat night, the contractor took us to a club, had some drinks and head back to hotel around 2am. The next morning I have to wake up at 7am as we need to leave for the airport at 8.30am. Therefore I took morning half day leave on Monday so that I can catch up with my sleep. Hehe!

As for my trip to Jakarta, it was tiring. Being inside the car and stuck in the traffic jam for 2 hrs is unbearing! Jakarta is really famous for their traffic jams! I think there are more cars than people there! At anytime of the day, there sure to have jams. Other than that there is nothing much to comment about Jakarta as the places I went is either Senayan City or the hotel - is business trip, cant ask for more. Well, the pro of going on a business trip is that one doesnt need to be in office slogging away but the con is that when you are back in office, one has a hill of work to clear. That is my situation at work now. Sigh!

sad + jakarta

Yesterday I received a terrible news from J from sydney. She said Y's baby son had passed away in the morning. Sob Sob. What a way to start the day. I really felt sad for Y, dont know how is she coping. Last heard from J is that Y had been crying almost every minute. I hope Y will be able to pull herself through. Thinking back, I think it is also a relief for her and the baby, they have suffered too much.

As for jakarta, I will be there for a business trip with my boss. I will be going there next thurs and coming back on sun. But I think I better changed and come back on sat as on 10th, I have a wedding dinner to attend.

edited : cant change the flight because ticket has been issued already. Sigh.

ddung gal

Isnt she a cutie? She is a ddung gal, a new doll released from Korea. Chanced upon her while I was reading a blythe friend's blog. Been trying to find her information/history from the internet but the official website is in Korean. However from the pics I saw from the website, it seems like the doll originated from a cartoon in which ddung was a four year old girl. No wonder she is so cute. She is definately cheaper than Blythe doll. Speaking of blythes, it seems I have been neglecting them. Too tied up with work, sigh! Hope I can play with them more often, if not they will be collecting dust in my cabinet. Haha!

click + drunk gal

Last saturday, I went to watch 'Click'. It was a nice show and it got a morale to it - family should come 1st before work. Hmmm...wonder how does this theory applies to all employees? For the employers, they would be thinking that the employees should place work before family. That will defines one as a responsible worker. Bosses will think that their workers should put in more time in their work. But what will happen to their family/personal time? - zero! Because by the time they finish wpork and go home, it will be time for bed and the next morning the same routine starts all over again...typical singaporean life...

As for the drunk gal, it is refering to my sis. She got drunk again on sat night. Therefore I was woken up from my sleep at 3am to bring her up from downstairs. She was really dead drunk, keep saying she wants to vomit but nothing came out of her mouth. Haha! That reminds me of the times I was drunk too but it was donkey years ago. I havnt been going to clubbing since CNY. So aftermy bro and I brought her home and get her to sleep, I decide to work since I wouldnt sleep. Finally finish the BQ which was due today. By the time i finish it was already 6am. So went to sleep and woke up around 12pm...Haha!

late night + flat hunting

It is almost 10pm but I am still in office slogging away. Basically, I have been working till 10 or 10plus everyday (except for sat & sun). Sigh! Work seems to be neverending and before I can finish what I have on hand, new work start to queue up already. Dont know when I can return to my normal work time - reaching home before 9pm so that I can eat my dinner and watch some TV to relax. These days, when I reach home, it is almost 11pm. Most of the time I will skip dinner and go straight to bed to get some reading to lull me to sleep.

For my flat hunting, it is not really very fruitful. We managed to view the not-so-old (more than 5, less than 10 yrs old)4R flats in amk. However, we do not fancy the layout especially the master bedroom. The space for the wardrobe is small, the most can only have 3 doors. OMG! How can it fit all the clothes and stuffs? *faint* Well the coming sat, will be going to view the 5R flat. Have to start saving very hard because the flats are not cheap! 300K for 4R and 400k for 5R!
