BMW Gate Crash Failed

a.

Yesterday was fun fun fun @ work.

Firstly, the thought of gate crashing BMW showroom already made me going ga ga. Brought along my camera and all. All ready to barge in and steal a few photos.
What surprises me was... the showroom was very silent when we reached. Like no big happening going on there. Regardless, me and Edw still bravely walked around with our cameras and sniffing around.

This is not Nick nor Robert from BMW Sauber... So.. Who are they, wearing the Sauber Tee??::Till today, we havent got any idea... So we went back downstairs grabbed a seat. Not long later, someone whom Edw knew came up and asked if we took any pictures. I was like, "Huh? You mean they ALREADY came???" "They took the lift." came the reply... Wah, you guys should see Edw's and my startled faces.

We waited at the escalator but they went by lift. Very funny and Dumb.

Edw then went back for discussion shortly and... I FIRST TIME HAD LUNCH WITH SALES!

I owe Lawrence more and more money now. He fought for paying my packed lunch. $4.50 and I'm gonna feel indebted. Anyway, it was really nice to dine with them, jokes and laughters. :)

Then I busy with the Color Plates in showroom, Ta-Da, my finished work::Then the rest did the frontal display..Under the hot Sun, of course, I went back and hid in my office. That pretty much sums up my fun day @ Work yesterday!

Today, I successfully left office at 545pm, because all the big shots left for F1! Yay! Very rare I get to do this, in fact, its the first time. :p

Alright, getting ready for a ear-drums bursting weekend! Woot!!

Proud to have.....

...... Namecards!!!

Aiya, like so sua-ku, I know. But I first time ever then have my namecards printed mah! Back in those days in Khongguan, nobody has namecards. Only the directors have. So I always tell them, "Sorry, I do not have namecards."

Now? I have EIGHT boxes of namecards. 2 boxes of each design. I am so happy!

Okay, I am going to charge my camera battery, planning for some excitement tomorrow. Wooo.. another long day in office tomorrow.. Hmm...

So wishing to be not so tired

a.

Been really tired. So, that's all for weekends. 2.5hrs more to end-of-sunday.

Just came back from JB shopping again. Bought contact lenses, pads and more pads (they're cheap!).

Tomorrow, start of work again.. Sigh....

Oh ya, this is the EIGHTH day of my bruise....Doesnt look healing at all eh? Still measuring at 7cm in diameters. LOL.

time to catch up with Mel

a.

It has been a long time since i last went out on weekend! Especially on a weekend night, with friends..

Started the day by meeting Christine, my replacement for Khongguan, at Jurong Point for lunch. Had a nice long chat, digging gossips from her about Khongguan staff. Heh^^ Pretty interesting. She was like me in the past, being young n fresh out in the working society, not knowing what she wants exactly. But now at least I know I want to be s.o.m.e.b.o.d.y.. So I cheered her up, work hard, just like what I am doing for now. Sacrifice my TV dramas and home-cooked dinners, just for work.

Then went meet Mel, finally. We had failed in meeting up a couple of times. Boo. This time, finally succeeded. Walked Orchard till my legs were pretty tired, thankfully was wearing flatties. How rare to wear flatties now. Work environment does not allow me to be dressed shabbily now.

Only bought two long-sleeves tees, bracelet and one nose stud. Because I have been surviving without income for 3.5months already. Next weekend is finally my payday! Yippe!! *jumps with joy*

mel and me at Sushi Tei @ Taka::
Then came along Lawrence..::
Dont know why he came over to join us though. Haha. He is my now colleague, Peugeot S.C.. Very sociable guy.

Went over to Clarke Quay and small world. His friends are Mel's friends. Not all but few. Small small world. Hee.

And here I am, back home at 1am+.

Yawn... Okway, got to get sleep. JB shopping tomorrow! Yeah!!!

I knew I didnt like I.T.

a.

I have always like men who are good in I.T.. Either that or maybe smart and knowledgeable in some softwares. Because I know nuts about I.T., I admire men with such knowledge. HAHA.

Yesterday was my first event @ LandRover showroom. It went pretty well except I was too tired to do PR-related. The whole morning I am just trying to burn some video clips into DVD which can be played on DVD player! How to?!!! Failed so many times.

Went ClarkeQuay for lunch and that was relaxing. But the moment I stepped back to office, come again, DVD burning. Stress* Operating the projector was just as worse. I never got it right. Remember the times, I was always the one to order people around to get it fixed, now that I need to get it fixed myself, I cant.

Organising events has always been my forte and love, but.... not the technical stuff lar.

Lawrence was sweet to come up chit chat with me, destress me abit. Haha. Never knew ah-seng can be hardworking at work. Anyway..

One more week to F1~ How exciting.

Ciao, showering and out to meet Christine for lunch before my shopping starts. :p

Squeezing time

b.

Yes, busy, very busy. So busy I have to even work through my mobile phone after working hours. So busy I have to get into my office email from home. Boo. I hope all these would be alot better after I settled down on my data, the spreadshitz, the advertisement arrangements, etc etc. But I believe afterwhich, more things will come in. ZZzzz..

On a brighter note, as each day passes, it only meant I am closer to pay day!! Shopping! And say bye bye to no-income days. 3.5months without income yet have to pay my school loan, parents' allowances and my own expenses wasnt easy. 9 more days to be fred from poverty~

Kudos to Glenn for this afternoon for providing a acrobat helpline. Haha. Though he didnt helped much. But not because his knowledge is insufficient but because my PC does not have the necessary programs. :p

Oh and nope! I cannot bury myself in work. I need to find some excitement.... Ok... I see what I can do...

PAIN inflicting balls

a.

It is very rare of me to wake at 9am+ on a Sunday. But I did for today. :)

Arrived Yishun at 11.15am. Had lunch at FoodMall in NorthPoint. Took a bus to Khatib....

And the PAINtball begins.

While all were still clean and 'nicely dressed'::

Had a self-timer group shot, again, while all are still clean but dressed in clothes we might be throwing away after the game::First 2 groups to feel the PAIN. I was then, still hyped::After my second battle... phew::Jelly looking at me, it must be my stupid pose again::I got attacked, AT THE BUTT, after my 3rd game. Like LS, i know. Got blueblack okie?!::Some of the group photos::One last group photo on the battle field!::My big swelling painful bruise on my thigh!!::It was fun nevertheless.

Pain but worth the money and trip, for a try.

Alright, time for bed soon after packing my stuff to be brought to office tomorrow. Looking forward to work but at the same time, dread going to work. The journey to and fro, really kills!

Tired

b.

It's either because I haven't been working for the past 9 weeks or waking up is a chore, that made me sooo tired everyday after work. Or maybe it's because of the long journey to and fro. Or maybe, it is really my work duties that drained me each day.

I have so much to catch up on and my secretarial occupational hazard just came back. Overly meticulous and Kiasu. I am still trying to adjust myself into the (Sales and) Marketing environment.

Lunch-ing alone everyday just makes my day worse. Not because I'm anti-social, but because I didn't talk to my colleagues from the same office at all till today. The only people I dine with so far are all the managers.

This evening when I left the building, MD still waved byebye at me while he was on the phone. I must say my MD is quite a handsome-looking young man. Like Eurasian.

Tomorrow will be having Sales dinner @ ECP. Only Peugeot Sales people, my Marketing manager and myself. Wonder how it would turn out.

Oh! And I hope it's only PMS that I am constantly thinking of two persons. Isn't a pleasant feeling, in fact, a disturbance. Brrgh

p.s. i love you

a.

Brillant story plot.

Yup, I only got to watch it like last weekend, despite the fact I had been saying I want to watch even before when the show started screening in the theatres.

Again, it made me wonder, where is my Mr. one-in-a-million? Would there be someone who loves me as much to actually plan my path after his death? Maybe that is why this is a movie, not a reality.

Okway.. Going for badminton then heading to Tampines to visit my Auntie.

Enjoyment despite Work

a.

Really tired. Havent felt this way for a long long time.. Always feeling sleep is never enough. Always feeling lethargic. Always using up the brain juices. Always feeling time is too short.

Yes, I started working this Monday. Terror. I didnt know working can be this tough and tiring.

Monday was basically orientation. So many faces I have to put to names and that is provided I remember the names. My bosses have been nice. Remembering the car models of three different brands is a little tough, whatsmore I have to know each and every of their competitors.

But it is a console, after work, went Timbre to meet Eric and Halbert. Babe last minute had to withdraw. A night of different stories to share. And I only reached home at 1am+!

Tuesday waking at 6.30am is VERY tough. Yawned non stop all the way to work. I couldnt concentrate at work due to lack of sleep! Ha! Which was pretty much serves me right!

After work, it rained. I walked in rain while everyone else on the streets watched me. I had no choice, rushing for my Tuesday class. That pretty much sums up my Tuesday.

Wednesday was slightly better. At work, realised Facebook is blocked by company. Ouch! Reality of corporate society. Was bored enough by the fact I cant surf the websites I want then I had to lunch alone. Agony. Walked the entire AnchorPoint. Bought 2 breads. I suddenly thought of Beng while walking alone in the mall. Strange.

Finally a day straight to home after work. Slept really well that night.

Thursday at work was just me busy-ing with my 19th Sept event. Coordination of logistics. Tiring. But lunch was very satisfying! Ate at Vivo with JN. Great breakaway from the office. Heh^^

Night time, Eric came and send me to Asian Diver Party held at HardRockCafe. Wasnt very impresssed with the layout though. In fact, pretty bad programs as compared to its previous parties.

Me and Corine::Me and Eric::Another late night.

Friday, waking up is as usual, pretty tough. This could be my worst day of my 5 new working days. And my most fun day. Contrast.

I drove the Peugeot 1007! I havent been driving for 1year plus! From office to Tuas and back to office. Journey is awesome. Here goes..

Had to test drive as a passenger around my office for 15minutes with the Peugeot Sales AM-Julian. When he left the car, it was my turn... I got lost in my office carpark. Circled around B2 numerous times before I found the Exit to B1. Did illegal reverse driving in B1 because I got lost again. I just wasted 15minutes. I took it as test drive and/or refreshing driving.

First destination, Jalan Buroh. I ended up at Jurong Island. Boo. Dad and I 'fought' on the phone MANY times. Over route directions. Ha. Upon reaching the factory, cool, parallel parking lar! What to do? Die also have to park before I can get down and go into the office. Luckily my driving instincts kicked in, I managed to park swee swee.

Second destination, Benoi Road. Didnt horlan because was on the phone with dad. Parking was much simpler. Big open space with no cars. Then again, maybe that's not the car park. Ha. Who cares? I was desperate to complete my first mission given by my male boss!

Last destination, Tuas Avenue. Again, didnt horlan because my driving just got much better. And of course, because dad was on phone giving directions. Parking was cool, I blocked everyone elses' cars just outside their workshop. Best is, the receptionist had to give me directions back to AYE from their office. Ha. How embarrassing.

I got horned! BEEEEEE! @#$#@%$&^%*&^* Was using phone sms while driving up a mild slope. Peugeot has such a different technology that I didnt get used to so... I rolled back instead of moving forward which I didnt realised. The car behind horn furiously. Haha. Then I looked up my rear mirror, and it awakened me, "This is Peugeot, not any other brands!" Then I flashed back memory, I was 'warned' by Julian the difference of Peugeot. Oops.

Remarkable experience. Driving again ever since I last drove in 2006. The things about Peugeot 1007 are such that, its brakes were too sensitive for me especially when driving with heels, the pick up was amazingly slower than I thought that I felt pretty embarrassed at traffic lights, the transmission is sooo different and you aint going get used to it especially you drove other cars before, but! Its sliding doors are cool.

After that, traumatised me went to ParkRoyalHotel for Jerric's wedding. It is really kind of Fred and Corine to wait for me to go together. REally. I believed Jerric will take care of his wife well, because I think the entire dinner was planned by he himself! Cool. Brian and a few of us went up to their room to play pranks right after their 2nd march-in. We had fun.

But the pranks werent as well received as what we had planned or expected. Oh well..

Then after dinner, we headed downstairs Club5, the 50s. HAHA. Eye opener. Didnt stay long though. But I definitely appreciate Brian's hospitality.

Me and Fred::Me and the Groom Jerric::
Eve, Peter, Kym::

Some of the men::Wine again??::Why I laughed, I cant remember::The Ladies::Emcee for the night and Me::We asked Jerric to join us in Photowhoring!::The happy people::Ok, going to run some errands for myself! Ciaoz
