Went for klunch @ MS with lisi & Syn last Sat. I must say that the rooms are all very spacious and nicely decorated. Food was tasty too. Pity is that we only have 3 hours to sing our lungs out. Most likely, I will drop by there another time with another batch of singing kakis as I really like that place and the charges are cheap as well.
After that, we just hang around MS and wait for nightfall to watch fireworks!
Our Initial plan was actually to stand near the One Fullerton to capture the full view but upon seeing the huge crowds of people walking around Esplanade, we change our mind. Dun feel like squeezing in at all.
Instead, we just sat somewhere near MS to watch the fireworks, performed by the France team.
It was a really spectacular show. A full 15 mins of colorful fireworks lighted up across the dark skies. I’m sure some of the cars must have slowed down a while to view it too. After it ended, everywhere seem misty with the smoke around. Tsk tsk..”Contribute” to more air pollution!
Well, it’s a good thing that we were seated near to one of the mrt exits so that we could just quickly make our way to the train station - to avoid squeezing in like mad with hundreds thousand of people together in the rides home.
Anyway, Singapore is really so generous to hold 4 firework performances in celebration of it’s birthday this year. Each year performance just keeps getting longer and better.
And guess what, a really bad news that I just heard from my colleague. In the future for this kind of celebration, if the car drivers continue to create trouble for the traffic police and no further improvement in the road traffic , they might just cancel the whole thing and no more fireworks to view next time!! So saddening~ Aahhhh…PpPPLLLSsSsss dun let this happened!!

Offices politics...
I can’t stand the way that my office receptionist is shaking her leg to pass off her time everyday. She simply has the best relaxing and easiest job in the world, with such high pay too. (Working around for 20+ years in my office)
Firstly she dun need to pick up the call when she’s busy typing in data for my boss. Secondly, when she’s talking on the phone (personal call), she’s just dun bother to answer the 2nd line and let it ring and poor us have to help her answer it. It's not the first time it happened. Calls have been flooding in like siao and she just dun bother. What the heck?!?! She cannot multi-task and does that imply that we got nothing to do and we can help her?? No logic at all. How about spiltting half of her pay to us instead?
In that case, I will be most willing to help….
I’m not sure why is my company management is being so lenient with her when she’s obviously trying to act blur and trying to shake off her job responsibility whenever she can. And she’s getting bolder and bolder. She dun even refills the A4 paper at the fax and print machine nowadays. Got one time, she’s so thick-skinned that she even dares to talk back to her supervisor and my Japanese boss - that she done her job well. Crap loh!
Either the management has no eyes or they simply don’t care as it’s a small matter. But to us, she’s trying to create havoc as she’s too free and try to find trouble with us whenever she can. Well, she has this thinking that we are trying to “steal” her job and ruin her “good worker” image. Best sia! Who in the right mind, wants to snatch her job! Pengz…
Blow small matter into big mountain. That’s what some “bo liao’ aunites are best at!
I just study about Japanese management on my IBM lecture 2 days ago. It mentioned a part of life-time employment - something like they will not anyhow sack people, unlike America firms. Maybe that auntie knows of this fact very well, that’s why dares to throw her weight around. But don’t she find it boring to live her days meaningless without nothing much to do?? And making so many people disliking her so much at the same time…
Actually, my company has been kind to her and yet she wants to push beyond the limit. Even thought my big boss already has a rather bad impression on her, there’s no news of dismissing her or anything. She should be relived of the fact and just be responsible on her work duties till the day she retires!
It will do all of us good if she snaps out of it soon and stop treating us like enemies.
.: It’s always better to have a friend than to have an enemy :.
