1st

My favourite number - No. 1
Why? Cuz... I always wanted to be number one in anything, everything... haha =P

Now... 1st in every single month became one of the important dates in my life.
Hmm... We just have the habit to "collect" dates in our lives..
Hehehe~ =P

"Wet-day"

Finally, the time has come!
The time I have been waiting for since long long time ago!
The happiest day of the month - pay day!!! Yay~~~~

Felt I have died of "dryness" since beginning of the month and now, I've come alive again~ kekeke :P
That day was talking to my colleague..

Me: "Why this month, the time pass so slow 1? I very poor leh...."
Blur Sotong: "Aiyah... becuz you keep looking forward pay day, the more you kancheong, the slower you feel..."
Me: "Nvm, pay day on next Mon, woo hoo~!!"
Mama Sam: "Dun so happy 1st hor, you wouldn't know whether on Mon or Tues hor.."
Me: "I know boss is very considerate 1, he knows our 'difficulties' !! hahah~~"

But later I have to dry "a bit" - returning money to my colleague! :(

Did we have soft copy of all major retailers logo?

Fcuk up (case 2)

I was waiting for Ms. V's reply.... (I did the item list for her myself) and I waited until Thursday afternoon.. then only she says she will be going out to get the trays and ribbons - which means, I left Thursday afternoon to get the hampers done so that she can deliver out by Friday morning.

If I did not prepare the item list for her... am I gonna wait until Fri morning? Who's fault?
I tried to support her, get everything done (even not in my job scope), she didn't even say 'thank you" to me not show any appreciation at all!

I don't understand, why some people just like to make your life difficult when you're trying to help them!

Thanks

Ms S,

Thanks,

Fcuk up (case 1)

I was trying my best to help Ms. V for the Joint Promotion:-

1) Liaise with designer to rush out the artwork asap
2) Liaise with printing guy for the header board and entry form
3) Liaise with contractor for the floor display

The promotion kicks off on 1st July. I was trying my best to help her in anyway possible, keep rushing her to get buyer's approval and even, the printing guy called me twice so that he can help me to rush out everything on time. Why she doesn't show concern and taking her own sweet time???

Buyer's approval was on Thurs morning and I don't understand why she has to wait until Friday evening (knock off time 5.45PM) only confirm me?? If I knock off punctually, big possibility I only see her reply on Mon!! Having said that, we only left 2 days to rush everything for the promotion???

WTF?!
*even there was sth wrong with buyer's email timing, but I'm sure he replied on the same day!

Zzz

Yes, I admit... I've lost interest in my job since long long time ago..
There are many factors in it.. oh, pls don't ask me, thinking of it, such an "agony"..

So boring...
So tiring...
So sleepy...

Zzzzzz....

Gathering

Was supposed to attend a gathering with ex-classmates (Form 4/Form 5) on last Sat but I couldn't make it cuz I can't get any bus ticket going back, darn! No thanks to the kiasu-spirited netizen! Argh!!!

I kept postponing from May to June and now, I guess I have to postpone until Aug! Feel so bad cuz I was the one who suggested for the gathering and yet I couldn't make it last minute... *sigh*.. but I was lucky that most of them are considerate enough and understand my difficulties, arigatou~

Hope we can meet up in Aug, and all of them could make it this time! *winks*

Considerate

Maybe I am not as considerate as I think.. but sometimes I do think for people's feeling and yet, most of the time I got stucked in between - in between of 2 parties or more.

Sometimes I do feel tired... tired when I tried to put myself in someone's shoe and yet, my "goodwill" wasn't appreciated. Whatever I do, they are not based on what I think I will get in return. I just hope to "minimize" the impair to the lowest point possible...

Why can't people just "empathize" my efforts...? Perhaps, I was using the wrong way to "convey' my message...

Irritating

One can be very irritating sometimes.. like situation below:-

Ms. V : Shannen, I have a joint promotion coming up, kicks off on 1st July. I need header board and entry form. I know you will tell me you don't have enough time for printing and stuff... it's okay if the POS materials reach us few days late...

Ms. S : I'm afraid I could not meet your deadline. You know, from designing, seeking buyer's approval, amendment (if any) and finally printing, I need at least 2 weeks or more and now I left about 10 days to complete everything!

Ms. V : I will let you know the details asap.

Ms. S : Can you request logo from buyer so that I can feature it on the header board.

Ms. V : What kind of logo?

Ms. S : Logo like we asked from Giant for joint promotion.

Ms. V : How and where do I get the logo?

Ms. S feels this is the "stupidest" question that she ever heard. Why ? Ms. V is the channel manager and handling this account, and funniest part is, she doesn't know how to get it and ask me??

Ms. S : Of course you can ask from SS buyer or whom may concerns...

(After a while.... Ms. S received e-mail from Ms. V c/w logos attachment)

Ms. S : So many logos, which should I feature?

Ms. V : You think which 1 suitable, then you use that 1...

Ms. S shakes head... again, speechless..

Ms. S : Can you please confirm which logo to use to prevent any mistake and wasting time to do the amendment...

Ms. V : Nvm wat, anyhow.. you have to send the artwork to buyer for approval..

Ms. S : Yes, but then.. I don't want to waste time to change the logo, can you please confirm me ?

Ms. V : Okay... choose the 1 they used regularly, the logo with retailer's name at bottom..

Ms. S : Thanks..

Transform

I know you changed in many ways, be it mentality or maturity but I did not expect that "much".
Is this the real you or the brand new you?
In the past, you were trying to "conceal" your true self or "feign" someone who wasn't you?
No matter what, definately it takes time to "comprehend" and "accept" the differences now.
I guess, time is not the issue, matter the most is the willingness to be acquainted with all these "qualities" inside you, haha =P

I apologize on what I've told you last night. I know it wasn't fair for me to say that to you, afterall.. everyone is unique and has their own way of doing things. I could not agree more on the fact that, we shouldn't refer to a series of action and pinpoint that as the act of love or concern. I really appreciate that you accept me as who I am and thank you for all you've done so far, thank you.

If we have the same belief, I'm sure we can triumph over all the obstacles =)

Predestined

I think I am predestined with long-distance relationships.
Else, must be GOD enjoy making fun of me!
When I was "up" there, he was "down" here. When I'm "down" here, he's "up" there!

It is not easy to nurse a normal relationship and to nurture a long-distance relationship it is even harder. Whatever a normal relationship needs, you really need to work double harder to keep the relationship on-going.

You need to have faith in your partner in what-so-ever he/she does.
You need to trust him/her when he/she is going out with who-so-ever.
You need to endure the "lonesomeness" when you don't get to see him/her.
You need to have the same thought with your partner so that the relationship could "blossom".
You need to have the patience when he/she is busy with works.
You need to keep up with the passion so that the relationship will not turn "wilt".
You need to spend more either on the phone bill or transportation fee to "feel" your partner's "existence".
You need to...
You need to...
You need to...

Kudos to couples whom could withstand the loneliness and win the "battle"! Hehehehe =P

Imperfection

"Tell me what are my shortcomings?"
How are you gonna answer if someone asks you this?
To tell the truth or just answer perfunctorily?

Well, I seldom ask people this question because I know myself very well, I know what are my "imperfections" deep inside me =P But most importantly, I like to listen to worship more than critique =P, that's why I don't ask.. lalala =P

Don't need to ask me what are your flaws, you ought to know yourself better than anyone. You were asking me this question just to "ensure" yourself of the list you made? It doesn't mean anything for you to "ensure" without making efforts to "trounce" them. It doesn't change a bit by just knowing "them".. that's why I choose not to reply your sms, sorry. I hope you understand this.

GOD is fair, don't "ignore" your high merit while "searching' for your imperfections.

Sleepy

Oh my god, I am so sleepy right now! Luckily today is Saturday, I just need to "show face" for 4 hours then I can go home and continue to be "sleeping beauty" again! *Bonus* - My "area" here only me "working" on this weekend, so... whether I'm doing office work or doing my own stuff, nobody knows =P

Last night went to "Suntec Entertainment City" with my colleagues. Only the name sounds "chio", just another newly opened karaokie + Thai disco (blood sucker). Last night wasn't really fun, not like the way we used to be - doing crazy stuff at the karaokie which we often go... this time around, they wanna try out the new place (still the same area), turned out to be - it is more expensive and whatever you want to replenish like tidbits you need to pay (each time)... "kiamsiap bos"!

We left the place around 2am... it was almost 2.30am by the time I got home. Still need to "drag" my body to wash.. my landlady still ask me "You still want to bathe...?" (YOU SAY LEH?) =.= I was so stinky with all the smoke smell! No thanks to my colleagues loh!

There was lightning around 5am+ when I was "meeting" my prince charming in the dream.. argh, disturbing me sleeping (dating)!!! I'm afraid of lightning in the dark, especially when I'm sleeping alone.. have to cover both of my ears with my blanket, then continue dating... eh no, I mean sleeping. =P Then, my alarm clock keeps ringing and I have no idea how many times I have to snooze it... and go back to sleep!! I knew I'm gonna be late today, be it since today is Saturday!!! Yay!! I ended up reaching office around 9.10am =P

Countdown: 1.5 hours to go!

June

June! Another 6 months to 2010!
Well, recently a bit tied-up with works... have to handle from 1 end to another end, that could be tiring and frustrating at times especially involves many parties and you seek for co-operation from every one of them..

Well, subside the works.. I have many things to look forward to! Penang trip, ex-classmate gathering, Mum's birthday, DD's birthday, X'mas celebration, own birthday, BKK trip (if possible), next year's CNY.. wow! Just can't wait! Hehe :P

Albeit so many celebrations are waiting for me, at the same time, I'm gonna broke to the core from now onwards! :~~
