just came back from bangkok! sigh... I swear that bkk's air/food/water is really bad! everytime i go there, i'll come back with major zits!! HUGE/UNGLY/ RED and angry looking zits!!!!!
anwiae didn't really buy many things for myself during this trip...
- tailored 2 shirts, 2 skirts
- 3 pairs of heels
- 1 dress
- did mani and pedi
- 1 bag
- hair accessories
- stationaries for ppl
- 1 handphone pouch
thats all for myself.. but for my dearest twinkle, i bought her 20 packets of treats (singapore selling them for 3 for $10 , but i got them at like $1 per pack!!!! haha its made in thailand aniwae and those that i got from thailand were really fresh!!! like manufacturered 1 month ago.. and expiry is next year sept!!), 11 pairs of shoes (she wear hers out really fast) and 4 dresses(which i found out that they were to small for her cos she was overfed by my cousins when we were not ard!!!!!! TIME FOR A DIET!!!
anwiae pls don't take tiger airway cos its using the new budget airport in sg... its really bad... lousy selection of shops... think "hang ten &co" "mini toons" and "cheers"... i know ppl who take value are kinda poor.. but i'm sure we can still afford to get duty free make up.. even the slightly up market ones like MAC or shu umera.... or at least build a link to transport us to T1 or T2!!!! and the most amazing part is... when we arrive back in sg, the link from the plane and check out counter is like more than 300m long, no aircon linkway.. with grills... think zoo.. or ferry terminal! wtf man!! the airport taxes that we pay is even higher than cathay/garuda/thai airways! why are we subjected to such treatments!!
the cool part is there's the automatic check-in, check-out counter.. now u don't have to go through customs... just line up and scan your passport + thumb print (something like the MRT enterence where u tap your card) and u're ready to be put through!! haha.. cool shit rite!!
another interesting part is that we get a taste of what emerging the plane and walkin down the steps of the plane is like!! we always see presidents going down the flight of steps, waking at ppl on the run way!! haha... now i'm a VIP too!! we had the "honor" of walking down the steps and the liberaty to wave (we definately did not.. wait ppl think we crazy) down at ppl "receiving" us (i mean airport attendants). lala.. joyce and me being camera whores must take a picture of the moment that we emerge from the plane... haha... *sorry to those behind us.. we just can't help ourselves*

here's a quick update after a long long while ...
started work like 4 months ago... guess i took quite a while to get used to the idea work work as well as the schedules that i'm put into now.. but here's some stuff that has been happening in my life during the past 4 months
Started work in late june.. got into RS2 and had a disappointing start.. I was assigned to do internal audit (our department offers 2 services -- IA and ERM) instead of ERM. Damn sian cos the ERM team is obviously the fun team!!! first job was on NOL, we call it POM (policies operating manual).. and i've been poming since then!!!
its like WTF!! the whole pom thingy was supposed to end like in sept.. and its close to NOV!! sigh.. last i heard, the project will last till jan!! imagine i'll have to do POM for another 2-3 months?!?! *faint*
well.. at least on a whole, my department is fun! we have monthly drinking sessions (fully paid by our partners) , most of us attend company function like sports day and welcome nite (bloody shit! i kanna sabo on stage and promptly fell in front of everybody!! but who cares! i won 2nd prize leh!!)
mmm.. just think in the line of department retreat with plenty of booze (hard liquor/wine/beer) and a buffet (inclusive of 2 chef, lobster salad and satay roasters)
something i don't really understand is... our usual day start at 9am (even though official time is 8.30), go for 1 hour breakfast (after we set up our lappys), 2 hour lunch (typically we have our main course then drop by "wang jiao" or "mr teh tarik" for drinks) and 1 hour tea (lesser now cos partner complain!!), we end work at abt 6 plus 7, and we can claim all the taxi fares we want!! nice department and fantastic/generous partners aka boss... no hierachy system (seniors and managers behaves as if they're your good friends.. unlike in external audit) u get to report to managers/ partners straight... no office politics... SO, other than the miserable pay (which has constant increment of 400/800 alternate years) why would ppl wanna quit??!?!?!?? its kinda the perfect job for me.. u get to try different industries/functions when u're on different jobs, interact with ppl rather than stare at the computer screen the whole day... U get to decide your schedule/ where to work... etc.. and still the turn over rate is so high!!! we did a quick count today and realised that ever since i stepped in, 13 ppl has tendered their letter and left!!!!!! thats like 13 in 4 months!!
sigh... seeing peers leave the company is the saddest thing on earth... maybe i'm not used to ppl leaving.. thats why it kinda bothers me to see ppl leave.
sad.... (going for a going away session at 6.30pm... 2 more leaving)
