A Day at Jurong Bird Park

Was given two complimentary passes by supplier (8 entries) to the Bird Park and had a family outing (sis couldn't make it as she's studying for test...) since it was quite sometime we had one :) Not that i longed to visit Bird Park (what's so interesting about the boring birds?!?), just that i'm quite a family girl *winks* hehe! Well family to me is almost everything and whenever there's a chance to strengthen the bond (be it a simple breakfast on a sat morning, a short trip like this to places of interest or the recent holiday getaway to Taiwan) i will make it happen~

Here are some nice pictures to share, enjoy!

Long weekend's coming!

Was already looking forward to my long weekend even before this week begins as i'll be off from 21-24 Oct!! Haha! Don't envy :p keke! Thinking of how to spend it fruitfully and not waste my precious 4 days lalala~ I deserve this break as i will be bz bz bz this week...Colleague is clearing leave, oh man...Endure :(

Was kind of worried this morning when i saw a msg from my Hawaii friend as his place was affected by a 6.6 magnitude quake. But thank god he's fine when he called during lunch time. The electricity, network connection and water supply were gone hence he got to find his way in the darkness, being cut off from the outside world for a few hours and not having his bath today! :p (remember to brush your teeth though~)

Reality is always cruel

Instead of a lobo day, i was occupied with a product training by my colleague from The States. He touched down yesterday and this is his first trip to S'pore. Talking about this, i was quite disgusted and pissed off with my local management at the way they handle things. I shall share with you how i felt on this whole incident.

Firstly, if it wasn't I who raised up, i think no one bothers (not even HR) to make arrangement for this poor guy on his accommodation, airport pick up, programs lineup etc just because his position is only a Product Specialist...Why did i say so? Well, one of my colleagues told me that our Area Sales Manager (Mr A) actually commented this "He's not VP, why should i ferry him around?!" Hei!! What kind of remark is that? Out from a manager's mouth? He's afterall one of us and did lend you helping hands when you need it!! I felt sooo ashamed working under Mr A! Now i know if he really had a wedding dinner to attend when he rejected to pick him up from the airport......

This wasn't bad enough. Let me tell you another example and this time was from our MD. Over lunch today, he flashed us an evil grin and delibrately spoke in mandarin infront of my USA colleague. "You know what? He's very shua gu (mountain tortise in hokkien, meaning not being exposed to the outside world) as his passport is brand new!!"

Hei Mr MD, does that mean he's only constrained within his good old America?! Pls for goodness sake, NO!! Can you pls have a broader perspective when you look at things and not jumped into quick conclusion? Oh yah, MD was supposed to send him back to the hotel BUT he left him w/o informing...RUDE. In the end, I called a cab for him and he left the office with a sad face of course...

Can you imagine your first trip to a foreign country and being treated in this way? Being pushed around like nobody's child, being so helpless and yet got to put on a strong front so that these bunch of people dare not look down on you further? Sad isn't it? But I always believe "What goes around comes around...." So it's better to put yourself into others' shoe and feel as if you were them...

Kiss Goodbye~

Remember my Lee Hom entry? Think i'm gonna "Kiss Goodbye" to him since the chance of finding a kaki to go with is getting slimmer each day... :( Heard that 90% of the tickets are being sold out! Gosh...Never realised there are so many Lee Hom fans out there!! He was at Bugis Junction this afternoon but i wasn't there to catch a glimpse of him as i said i'm not really a die hard fan of his :p Won't want to squeeze with those youngsters and end up perspiring haha! Got better and more meaningful things to do though :p~
