Pressure is building up.....

Sigh. Its been like a while in the new place and i can feel the pressure already building up gradually. Well... Abit the fast but still, wat I can say is that things are moving in a smooth pace towards hectic. hahahaha!
As everyone knows, that I m one person who cannot take tings that are too hectic. But wat to do? Living in this country has its perks and shyt. But hey! Who says there is a perfect place to live in this world?
Today already have to hit a target of 12 respondants for my project group 1 and then target another bout 12 more for another group. then target another 20++ more for the other 2 groups. Wah.... Alot siah. But this is the work i have to do. No choice. Its still better than my previous company as here things are laid out very clearly.
Wat else can I say... today seems to be a day where I ran out of words to say. Seldom such thing will happen to me as I'm always so full of crap.

Rite... Stop here lah.

Priceless!

I assume most of us have watched the TV Advert on that... i think... credit card advert where the final part is something which cost priceless. Ring a bell?
Ok.. this was wat happened last nite in the office while I was doing my so called virgin evening duty at my new job. It happened at around almost to knock off time.

Incident:
Buying Dinner - $8.80

Taking a Cab home - $9.70

Witnessing a showdown between Executive & Interviewer - Priceless

Its really a very wonderful experience for me as its something which somehow, I feel, was gonna happen sooner or later due to the nature of that interviewer. So, when she was kana 'backstabbed'... or should i say 'frontstabbed' by another interviewer right in front of everyone present, the expression on the problematic interviewer's face was really priceless. Wat I don't get it is that... y of all things and nature, knowing that you are only an interviewer & not an executive, go and take matters into your own hand and do things which are not even in your job scope?
Sometimes, I believe that in every one of us, there is always a bit of kaypohism regardless of whether u admit it or not. But one should always know the limit of it as to some ppl, they might find it very offending or irritating. So wat to do when such ppl are encountered? 2 solutions to it.
1. close an eye and ignore the everything
2. report it to the superior
Well.... I shall continue later as now work is commencing.

Monday Blues..... once again!

Its been said that once you follow your schedule of work... like from Mon - Fri with Sat and Sun as your rest day, everything follows suit! Well... how true can it get? cos sat and sun, nv really update cos need a short break.
Basically, last week has been really fruitful. Learn quite a few new things which didn't have that chance to learn on my other job. But its also been a real shock since there is alot of new things to absorb and procedure which I must remember. But I feel that this is one hell of a job since they are so systematic... yeah yeah yeah... been saying it since my last post but still I have to say.
Hmm.... watever.. Since its monday, I'm gonna jst keep this short and head back to work.

Vegetarin / Fish day?

A conversation excerpt earlier today:

Colleague(C): Err... Jeff, I'm going to Bugis to makan cos I need to buy something for later.
Me(M): Oh... Well, today is friday and today I'm having either vegetarian or fishy makan.
C: Huh? Oh... ya. You did mention before. Ok, so you will be having lunch yourself?
M: Hmm... Should be. Guess every friday I will be known as the Lone Ranger (sigh).
C: Ok. See you later.
M: Right.


So wats the big deal of me having vegetarian or fish on friday? To some ppl, they will be thinking that I'm some sort of pious person towards my religion or that its a rule of those staunch Catholics.
Wat the heck! No offense but.... SCREW THOSE PPL! Its jst my own lifestyle man! I 'borrowed' the idea from those 2 groups and put it to use to my own principle. Main reason is cos that from Sat till Thurs, my diet consist of alot of meat and other things so called will somehow jam up my system. So at least once a wk, I need to eat something which is so called have the 'power' to clear my digestive system. Ya... Rite! Load of Crap and Bullshit.
Believe it or not, every since I've started this ritual, my bowel system since to be working more smoothly...(ie. able to shyt more properly and constantly)
Pardon my so called crude language..... WAIT A MIN!!! Y the hell I need to say pardon my crude language?? This is my blog man! AARGH.... Screw it! Wat the fuck is wrong with me man!?? Think it could be too much well mannered ppl around me that I'm somehow affected by it.
Sux man! I'm thinking that very soon, I will become a sane person! NOOO!!!! I must stop that from happening! I'm known as the pure defination of INSANITY!!! There is no way I will become a SANE person.
Oh well... guess its back to work again. Now things are starting to get pile up on my desk. Shyt man!!! CCB!! need to do out the specs for the project which I'm co-in-charge of with my mentor!
C ya soon

What goes up, must come........

There is a saying which goes like this: "What goes up, must come down."
Suppose that meaning is for those ppl who is enjoying their life through some evilistic way and their world comes crashing down.
Well... to me, that saying can mean alot of things man! Like me for instance! Is already the 4th day at my present company and the reality has hit me real fast in my face like a big..... *SLAP*! Cos my Asst Field Manager has informed me that today, yes today, 24th of August, I will be tagging along my mentor for a job. WAT!!!??? SO FAST???!!!! thats how my heart and brain was responding yesterday. Below is a short version of my heart+mind response when she broke the news -

AFM: Jeffrey, tomorrow there will be a job briefing for your mentor.
ME (Verbally): Err... ok.
AFM: Since your mentor is involved, you are also automatically involved in it.
ME (heart+mind): WTF!!!???? I thought you said this is my so-called honeymoon period?
AFM: .... you will be sitting in with her and going through the job and briefing with the client and......
ME (heart+mind): Too fast! Too fast!! This is not Too Fast Too Furious!! This can't be happening.

So thats the pix I have in mind when I heard the news. Well... like the saying goes, what goes up, must come down... with a *SPLAT* for my case.
Generally, its been quite a pleasant wk so far. Nothing really crazy bout work jst that sometimes, I can be really so bored that I need to find some things to do. Even meaning to do delivery boy services. Hahahaha!!! But with the weather suddenly becoming so maddening hot these few days, I doubt its a good idea to run around. Whatever the outcome of this is sure not within my grasp as I'm only understudying my mentor. Hopefully, it won't really be a too fast too furious scene or surely, I would be crashing and burning soon.

LOST!?

Hello!! Where the heck have I been?? Almost another month before another post has been added.
Wat the heck. It jst seems that I'm becoming to be abit too lazy to update my blog. Sadly, its true cos life hasn't been too good or kind to me. Last post I've mentioned tat I'm leaving my job and going back to study rite? Well.... I somehow have changed my mind cos I gt a job offer from a big company who is allowing my to do my studies while I work full-time for them.
Seriously speaking, which company will actually be so nice to let their staff to pursue their studies?
Well, I'm not gonna reveal the company's name but all I can say is that it is a research company which has some standing in the world.
Currently my post is a Field Executive. EXECUTIVE is the word man! Wonderfully crafted for someone who is so new to the line of work. Well... no doubt the company looks very good and all but its still too early to tell as there is always the stress factor and also the normally present office politics.
Well... since I've only started with the company like... err... this is my 3rd day? Things still has the honeymoon period feeling and somehow I know it won't last too long. Seing how my colleagues work next to me and its kinda giving me the rough idea of how things will be like once I'm so called 'full-blown' into my work. No doubt I'm under a 3 month probation, its never so simple as this is gonna be the test period before the company confirm the status of me. Somehow I believe that I should be able to handle the job as I'm being taught rite from the start. 'AHH.... FRESSHHH MEAT!' Hahahaha
Hmm... I'm always the earliest one to the office but I feel that its a price which I have to pay as its only for bout a year! Somemore, my workplace is next to Sim Lim Sq and its even more closer to my home.
Ok... better stop now... most of my seniors are in the office le. Catch up again.
