Specially for Nottiboy

Notti, this page is specially for you!


Where do i start? Let me rewind my memories. I get to know notti after i apply for BTO at punggol residences. Register myself in Punggol forum, from then notti came into our lives. My hubby and i alway will meet up with the nottis(Nottiboy and Jen), to chit chat, eat ice kachang etc...

Back than nottis keep saying they are plannig to go Australia. Jen is a PR, notti wanted to get Australian PR too. Actually we miss them. We always do. We knew once they go there, they will not want to come back to Singapore. They will eventually settle down in Australia.

Many people gives nottis many advices. Of course, selfishly, we dont wish them to go.....In fact, my hubby was the 1st to discourage him haha. When notti ask me, i was in a dilemma too. I dont wish him to go, a selfish side of me wanted to discourage him. If he goes, i will definitely miss him. I feel i will loss a very good friend, a good future neighbour. I dont wish to see him leave Singapore. Afterall, nowadays, it's not easy to find a true good friend.

In the end i encouraged him, albeit reluctantly. Why? I know he can do it. It's his wish and Jen's wish too. I feel he should give it a try, success or fail. Life is too short for regret. I shall not stop him for my own self interest.

It has been 5 months since he stepped into Australia, his step wasnt easy. No matter how many obstacles he faced, 'giving in' never crosses his mind. Definitely, i feel very proud of him and Jen.
Both face giants of life, jen even give birth to Baby Albany in Australia. How much courage must they have to overcome all these? Can you imagine?

When you feel like giving up, ask yourself why you hold on in the 1st place.

I HATE to work in Customer Service Line

When i say SINGAPOREAN, what comes into your mind? Unreasonable? Selfish? Self centered? Demanding? Uncivilised? Irritating? Kiasu,kiasi blah blah blah...

Even thought i am a singaporean, can i agree too? Sad to say....I have to agree cause almost ALL the singaporeans i meet in customer service line are as mentioned above. They can be damm unreasonable...spoiling your mood...making you want to quit the job right away. You would really want to scream at them asking them to F*** off!! Damm it Who do you think you are! $$%^#&.

Hahaha....Complaint and complaint...small issue try to make it into big issue. Make a big fuss overy small little thing...Everything also complaint! Every single damm thing! They will try their best to make your life as miserable as possible. Walau for goddness sake...STOP IT! Who do you think you are? You all like to be cursed by others right! You have to right to scream and shout at me! Come on lal! Dont forget what comes around goes around...one day you will end up like how you treat others...i will stand there and laugh!

Of cause there are good singaporeans, sad to say only a very very tiny portion are reasonable, very rare. I know not all customer service coordinator are friendly, if they are rude i can understand. But if the coordinator are doing their very best, why still want to make life difficult for them? We are just trying to earn a living only. I have to tell myself everyday to ignore them...let them sing let them bark...treat them as Ah Siao! If not i will get depression. Because of these people give me the courage to try for a change.

I tell myself if i can change a job, i will never goes into customer service line again. I got a chance into admin line, i know nothing is easy, i might face other problems, but still better than customer service. Whats there to be afraid of. You never try how you know you can or cant do it? With so many friends encouragment, i will do my best. Special thanks to Notti and Ah Qin.

Notti will be my example! :p

Why do i need to change light bulb

Dear Hubby, Please dont scold me after reading this, i burst the light bulb last year, this year i break the light tube.

Yesterday my colleague told me one of the classroom light tube was blinking, need to change. Ok, so need to change light bulb again. Why does it have to be ME to do this job? Why my company doesnt have a mainenance team? I never know there is something call "The Mainenance Team" till my friends told me their company have. Whatever spoil they will call the mainenance and someone will come down to fix it. Ok, back to my light bulb issue.

.

This light bulb changing issue brings me back last year case, while i try to change a bulb....i pulled the bulb out...it burst! I was damm shocked, i stare at the bulb, how did i do it? What have i done to make it burst? Since than i had phobia towards these bulbs! Will i alway be this lucky without getting hurt?

Today again, i will be changing light tube...this time is tube! Oh dear....how? Really must change? I got phobia. In the end i try again. Guess what...the tube did not burst....the side break into half. Mmmmm..... What have i done to make this happen? I have no answer. Maybe its my problem but anyway...i dont need to change bulb again. I think my new job dont need me to change light bulb ba. I should ask my hubby to teach me, :p

Why the metal part come off? Why??? This metal part was stuck in the circuit when i remove the light tube. I have to remove the metal part before i can install a new light tube. Maybe is the light tube fault. The manufacturer fault, the metal was not fix properly, thats why it come off so easily. Its a miracle this light tube still can light up.

我的同事说我是破坏之王！

Unsettled Feelings

With a new job waiting for me now, why do i feel so insecure? What am i afraid of? Everyone is happy for me. Everyone said:" Good for you, congratulations!"

Leaving my comfort zone was not easy, being in this company for 7 years plus. Theres nothing for me to fear. So why the sudden change? I want a normal 5 working days job. Mon to Fri, sat sun off. I dont want to work shift hours anymore. I want to really go into admin line if possible, i dont want to be in customer service anymore. I prefer to face computer than people! I dont need to change light bulb anymore, i dont need to hear teachers saying:" Maggie, the clock is slow! Maggie the copier spoil! Maggie! Printer no more ink. Maggie paper jam how? Maggie PC spoil cannot print Maggie light spoil..Maggie chair spoil...Maggie how to fax....Maggie i dont know how to print A3 size...Maggie spoil liao....MAGGIE!!!!!!!!"

I told myself, ok , send resume, try out, if by Apr i am unable to get a job, i will stay put in my current job. Send out at least 20 resume, some call back, mostly no news, went to 3 interview, its wasnt easy without a good experience in admin line. Despite of my not so good english(which an interviewer told me before), i manage to get a job as Admin Asst! I pass the interview! So?

I should be damm happy, thats what i want! Mon to fri, sat sun off same as my hubby, more time to be with him. I get into admin asst line, thats what i alway want to be! Why do i feel so scare? Scare of what! I also dont know. Afraid my new colleagues dont like me, afraid i dont pass the 3 mths probation, afraid my new manager dont like me, afraid no one to teach me blah blah blah.... My biggest problem is that i am afraid of failure. What if i am being terminated? I will become jobless! Faint! I am being so negative.

I am going to miss my manager...under her for 7 yrs. She has been good to me, will i be able to find such a good manager?

Come on lal...think so much for what, decision made so? Go ahead, already tender, 27 Feb start work liao, so just go ahead, dont be afraid, think too much also useless. Just do your best and enjoy your sat sun off!!! Its not easy to get into the line that interest you, go try out and do your best! Be positive!
