blogs blogs blogs

told sophy i wun be blogging but still decided to blog...
read vin's blog and got some feedback tat i shldn't have blogged wat i blogged the last entry. yeah i agree with vin tat blogs aren't really where we can say wat we wanna say. but well think i've been irresponsible and say wat i wanna say mood these days. so i'm sorry if i offended anybody. feel silly for saying sorry but think skee's been an insenstive and bad girl so.. sorry...

tried to do nothing today.. feeling quite shiok.. throat a bit sore from the durian the previous night at geylang. hhrmm... discounting the booze and durian puff at bb's party. hee.. anyway met jianyong today for an appt.. he always never fails to amaze me how capable and humble he is. and of cos when he plays bball, he is at his shuai-est. after tat went to pacific coffee to rot and read my book. got a meeting at suntec mac for the new promotions coming up so couldn't rot too long either.

anyway jus met my new boss, vincent onli yesterday. he's in charge of Bugis Junction(BJ), Bugis Village(BJV) and also Suntec City(STC) stores. well by this, u can see that he is quite up there, of a certain level of calibre already huh. anyway my first impression of him isn't good lah. yes i agree with xiaoping that his pattern a bit similar to Cho (my last last Operations Director who's with breadtalk now). ah pek type. well he's 53. have to explain why my 1st impression not good cos i totally think he has zero PR skills. he doesn't greet the crew nor the managers. he is ruthlessly efficient and a bit naggy. seeing him look over our monthend report, i can onli see him asking questions and joseph who is accountable have nothing to say. he keep comparing us to the other 2 stores tat i wanted to tell him up straight, we are not them. we can't perform like them. anyway started to chat him up a bit but he was to leave already. anyway found out from raymond tat actually he's not tat bad. he's quite willing to teach if u are willing to learn. he's a good teacher cos he goes into minute details. he's a teochew lah.. hahaa sorry teochews are born to be a bit arrogant.. jus like yours truly. but well the meeting today went quite ok. he doesn't really rem me although we jus met like yesterday.. maybe i look different out of the uniform. ya he's efficient lah. usually i despise bosses who dun help when there's a crowd in. i heard tat he was one of those but well amazingly on sunday i saw him helping out at hashbrowns... so not too bad. well this boss.. hard to figure yet. hope i'll see more of him. compared to albert, my last boss, who runs the new store at changi terminal 1 now, vincent is so different. albert is so friendly... well maybe i shouldn't compare. sometimes i'm a bit tired of changing bosses every 6 months or 1 year. can't build up rapport and hard to adapt from one kind of expectations to other. but well it injects synergy and dynamism into the system. simon (my ever still fav, he's such a good boss tat though he's demanding, i can lay down my life for him), alison (very motherly and kind, more empowerment during her time perhaps), kris (demanding, on the ball but i like her although my colleagues think she's too hard bent on results and pushes things too far), albert(my dear fatherly boss who speaks japanese in his hong kee accent..impressive huh?) and now vincent.

anyway today was the start of McDonalds' customer relationship marketing campaign with the ezylink card thing. the system is quite complicated and mac spent a ton on the campaign. but well i can't deny tat, this puts mac even more ahead of other fast food restaurants. although i studied abt relationship marketing before. never really seen it in action b4. Fries promotion coming up too. think the national day weekend will be such a riot with so many promotions going on. jus working on national day... new floor manager winnie joined us from BJV. she looks pretty ok.. friendly hope she assimilate into our management team in no time. she's 19 so the youngest manager is now her.. so sad. my throne for 2 years gone already.. hahaha

anyway was wondering wat does being 21 mean? well means R(A) movies legally? anyway i watched 2 already heee.. love actually uncensored and untold scandal (Bae Yong Jun's butt was sexy). so no biggie. financial independence. i shld be taking over my own insurance policies (although my mama is still paying for it), sign my own documents and be responsible for my actions? well think right now, it doesn't really mean much to me. haha.. mama may be transferring one of her assets under her name to me too.. haha.. to reduce her income tax.. oopps.. well it's not illegal. jus a maybe. think i'm going to have a full-blown quarter life crisis again this year. like did nothing spectacular in my first 21 years of my life again. anyway think i'll be spending a quiet birthday hopefully i dun die at the hands of sophy and evil gang first. celebrating my chinese birthday with my family at some chinese restaurant with 2 tables for my mama, papa, choon, my grandmama, aunts and my counsins. cos mama and papa busy during my ang mo birthday. hahaha.. the booking will be so damn fun. wonder if they give any sampling of food first. the other time went to teochew city at centre pointfor grandmama's birthday. very cheap and food not too bad though slightly salty. maybe will go there again. combining with loomie for onine celebration. 21 wat a conflicting age. not young not old. 17 was always my fav age to remain at. perhaps becos of JC or maybe it's the iresponsible age still.

anyway today rotted at pacific coffee on top of citylink near the marina square one.. damn shiok finished one book there. love the music.. they played my fav soundtrack my best fren's wedding, oldies e.g. unforgetable, yesterday once more etc, jazz and even the forrest gump theme. so nice. there were times when i will jus close my eyes cuddled in the red sofa and jus listen to the music, enjoying the nothing to do, nothing to rush, nothing on my mind, jus relaxing feeling. long time since i felt tat way. like time stood still jus for me. i still rem there was a time after exams i jus sat in another corner at the same cafe and finished my harry potter. like wat they say in commercials, priceless...

anyway tmr think i better go swim.. hee cos thursday going to sentosa with the TU so mus get in shape.. hahaha a bit last min. wat the heck.. but also subjected to wat time i wake up too. long time since i can zzz til watever time i feel like it and until the sun is shining on my butt. then catching king arthur with sophy and maybe ck. having dinner/coffee with em after tat.. yeah.. our dear old em.. missed her man. also mus start to pack my table and sort my textbooks... vacuum... mop the floor. i think i tried my best to do nothing but mama will always make use of my time at home.. ahhaha.. smart woman. anyway mama has been working late so i guess i shld do the chores more often. wonder wat to buy for carol... hai.. wanted to buy her the tix to the sammi cheng's concert but buying one a bit weird buy 2 i will die.. heee.. we'll see.. anyway zzz already wan an da jia.. oyasuminase.. sorry rob can't take jap lang with ya already. singapore society sucking all my points..

skee the great
