Picking Up...

It's been a long time since I updated my blog. I knew this (stop blogging) would happen. All due to my laziness and busyness.

Finally got a chance to update my blog and let my friends know what I am up to these days.

All along, I knew that I wasn't working in the most effective business but never was I so discouraged by the things that happened these few weeks. I am beginning to see some serious problem that this company has.

1. A Director Who Likes To Backstab (A Wolf In Sheep Skin)
Let me elaborate... Recently, I encounter a small technical problem and asked him (the director, also the youngest brother of the big boss) for help. He actually say he don't know how to operate the machine. Eventually I got my supplier to teach me how to operate the machine. Actually he knows how to operate the machine. Just that he does not want to teach me. 3hrs after I used the machine, he offered to do another thing for me, using that machine. Where got so stupid??

2. A Mother & Daughter Who Don't Communicate
This is a classic. Both the mother and daughter are directors (also the younger sister and niece of the big boss) in my company. I have to take orders from either of them, both of them?....argh....I'm confused myself... well... the daughter said that if she's not around and I needed an answer immediately, I should ask her mother. Then I got scolding for doing so because her mother's decision was not her decision. She said, "She (the mother) don't know anything, so don't ask her." Fine, I thought. I decided to just take orders from her (the daughter). Guess what? The mother scolded me for making the decision approved by her daughter saying, "Next time ask me, she (the daughter) don't know anything. She very blur." Where did the love between mother and daughter went?

3. A Lazy Woman Who Still Wants Authority
Recently, I got scolded again. The daughter, whom in my eyes is a lazy woman who wants to control everything, doesn't see her own mistake. She wanted a report on the work progress and so I gave it to her every week. I would suppose she will read it. Then one day she scolded me for doing the wrong thing. I highlighted to her that I have mentioned it in my report and she did not say it was wrong. Guess what again? She said, "The report is just a guideline. It does not mean anything!" So what's with the report? For me to kill time????!!!! She obviously don't read!

4. Still The Lazy Woman
That same lazy woman on the pretext of furthering her studies decided to resign. But she hung on to her directorship and have me reporting to her. I was told that she's just a consultant now. I guess that's just her excuse for coming in for 4hrs a week and still have lots of authority.

5. The Same Lazy Woman Who Doubles As A Backstabber
When a management employee resigns, she will send a backstabbing email to his/her business partners to ask them to stop contacting him/her. Doesn't she realise that she's been labelled 'The Backstabber", "The Evil One" in the industry? Retribution!

6. A Fine Line Between Being Exploited And Multi-tasking.
My big boss' daughter is setting up her own business. I have to help her make namecards! This is crazy. My GM (not part of the family, thank God!) said, "it's good to learn more." Does it mean that I have to thank them for exploiting me???

Sigh....but why am I still here? I know everywhere there will be people like that. But for sure, anywhere is high chance better than here.

I am in awe....

I was watching Arts Central on Wednesday night. I was actually supposed to have a chat with my mother. In the end, I worked late and she was already asleep. I thought might as well watch TV. Never a TV fan, I made the right choice. The first programme was about trekking, the sceneries were breathtaking (yes, even on TV). How I wish I can be there myself. The show was about trekking in Switzerland and Austria. Oh...the adventure, the nature, the excitement and even the exhaustion blew my mind away! Being a travelogue host is really not a bad deal at all.

The second show was Planet Earth. The view from my google box was already heavenly. I can't imagine physically there in the caves. David Attenbourgh's VO was a value-added point to Planet Earth.

The whole show made me want to quit my job right away and move on to be a travelogue host. I wonder if David would want to hire me...sponsors, anyone?

天啊！我是五花肉！

昨天和朋友一同去吃宵夜。边吃边谈到肉。其中有位朋友很瘦。他说不想变“排骨”。说着说着，他家就开始谈到自己要用什么肉来代表自己。朋友当中我最胖了。

我是“五花肉”！

减肥是我一生的职业。。。

又有人要结婚了。减肥行动展开了。这次想在两个月内减5kg。

曾经有朋友说减肥是女人一生的职业。对我而言，减肥是必然，必须，必要的！我要求不高，不渴望supermodel的身材。天啊！赐我Halle Berry的身材吧！Oops...胸没她的大。。。

安静。。。

今天，朋友放我飞机。明明约好了却没出现。 自己便一个人静静得在繁忙的城市里漫步。自己一个人的感觉还不错。时间变慢了。我对周围的事物也变得敏感多了。一边走，一边发掘自己。
我发现自己是个什么样的人。喜欢什么，讨厌什么，希望得到什么。。。

原来自己一个人的时间是多么的重要。

走着走着，我开始在想我未来的‘他’。不知道我们之间能不能有安静的存在。彼此能不能享受之间的空气，之间的宁静。那个时刻，应该是两人最美好的时刻吧。什么话都不说，用心去感受周围，感觉彼此。。。

不用我说，你也知道我爱你。。。

我是空中小姐？

今天陪朋友到一家航空公司举办的walk in interview。开始抱着一种好玩的心态，想去见识cabin crew面试是怎样的。其实昨晚就有意思想亲身体验。

我花了＄18拍了一张全身照。可是照片中出现的是一头充满睡意，咪咪眼，头发凌乱的肥猪（我啦！）

第一关：高度（难不倒我）

第二关：小组讨论（我只说了一句话！完了，完了！）

最后，长得漂亮，又说了很多话的女生进入了2nd interview

我？你说呢？

回家睡觉咯。。。

Finally finished walking 45km last week!

This is a long overdued blog entry. I should have done it last Saturday after my completion of 45km walk. Compared to the people I walked with, my 45km is nothing. The whole route is 101km. I gave up during the last leg of the walkaton because of the blisters on both my feet. I took pictures (of my blisters) but reckon them to be too be too gross to be posted online.

I was wondering what pushed them forward, taking each step that might have drawn pain. For me, it's just a personal challenge, to add something to my milestone. I did it willingly. For them, it could be their future at stake. But for those who walked till the end, you have my vote for being one of the most determined people I have ever seen.

Man, I look forward to the next challenge to come.....
