Singapore Transport

Singapore transports is so terrible. From MRT to buses... When you need to board mrt to work, you need to push and squeeze in order to board the mrt. Now, if you want to board a bus to work, you also need to push and squeeze and prevent people from cutting your queue.

This is what i am facing everyday, no matter which transport you take. Outcome will only be worst and not better. Our govenment somemore dare to encourage us not to drive to work but use our Singapore Public Transport. Boarding the MRT/Buses is a big issue now, but so far no one in Singapore can solve this issue.

Even with the frequency number of buses coming, its useless, i saw this particular bus 969 going towards Tampines from Woodlands Interchange. Every single bus that come was very packed, when it reaches Yishun, the people are unable to board, maybe awhile manage to squeeze in. When i look inside the bus, i actually wonder how many of them are singaporeans.

The bus i going to board is not 969 is 965 going to Sengkang. Till now i cant really catch the bus arriving timing, sometimes it will be late, sometimes early. Only the going back timing, too slow, think need to wait 15 mins for a bus, which during that timing is peak hours. Look at the schedule between 5pm to 7pm, frequency of the bus is 10 mins, i can wait up to 15 mins, ua same excuss, traffice jam, they cant control traffic lal...blah blah blah. Ya you can complain, its useless. They never force you to board their transport! So slowly wait lolx, can wait up tp 30 mins.

Why will traffic jam? Because there are too many cars in singapore. May i know how many of them are SINGAPOREANS??? Maybe out of 10 cars, 4 are singaporeans. In a bus how many are singaporeans? Out of 50 only 15 are singaporeans...pathetic. And still want to welcome more FT to come in here! Come on lal, already damm pack...who will think of us? We are more like 3rd class citizens! I waiting to see soon all Singaporeans move out of singapore and SINGAPORE will ahve FT only. Sooner or later....

My weak points

How should i start my topic? Why do i say i feel i am like a open book? Recently i realize people can read me easily. One of my senior told me:" You must have confident in yourself, you are new here, everyone will guide you, dont be afraid, have more confident. You can do it one why no confident at all? "

What she said was true, i really do not have the confident in myself, can i say i look down on myself? I am not clever, do things alway make careless mistake. Thats how i see myself. When i say careless mistake, till now still doing the same thing. When i look at the stationary list i submitted, i make a mistake in the pricing and i amended it. I start thinking back, my ex manager Joan omce said to me: " Maggie ar...if the monthly timesheet you submit got no mistake, i mean not a single mistake, i buy magnum gold give you eat. But hor...i got no chance to buy, cause you every month sumit one sure got mistake." :(

Actually, i did check, i double check, i don't really understand why still got mistake. Recently Joan sms me asking if my ear itchy anot, she keep saying my name when she in office. She told me about the bounce cheque issue, as it was a post dated cheque, the customer was fined as i bank in earlier. I was damm surprised, i told her i check before i really went to the bank to bank in. I don't know what to say, i did double check, see date, amount payee name to make sure no mistake before banking them in. Even double check, still got mistake. I ask my part time admin to check again too, still wrong...Why? Whats wrong with me?

Tomorrow i need to do reports file in for all the directors, hope there wont be any mistake. Must triple check....pray.... Even though my colleague will stay back to help me check, i still must triple check. Jia you lol!!!!

How i spend my 1st sat and sun

At last, its the day i have been waiting for for the past 5 days. To off on sat and sun. I feel happy when friday came, 1st time i have this feelin( which people are alway saying TGIF). I can feel that too hahaha. My darling hubby came to fetch me with a smile on his face. I know he is happy too, at last his wife can off on the same day as him. We dont need to go home so early asi i DONT NEED to work on sat and sun. Notknowing how to spend my friday night(1st timer), we decide to go east coast park, sitting in Carl Junior eating burgar. I even call my darling(my darling is a girl hor, staying same blk as me but on 10th story) for kopi session.

We had our kopi session at 12:10am, downstairs coffeeshop, enjoying our hot milo and tea, my hubby feels HUNGRY again, at prata and satay. Till almost 2am than we went home. I am so tired i slept till 11 plus am the next day. Didnt manage to go downstairs for breakfast. Si i decide i will go breakfast on sunday morning.

We had our lunch at home and went out to watch movie with hubby's cousins, after that we even went to look for id, to look around their price and what type of ideas they are able to provide us with. My hubby do the most talking. ( I dont really know much about reno or i can say i am ignorance) Later we went to hubby's friend house to watch liverpool match. Its really a waste of time, since liverpool cant win and he knows it! Why still want to watch leh? Watch till so bek chek....%%&$...still want to watch wor...why wor????

I think i better stop talking about liverpool, wait kena beaten up...heee. Right after the match we went home. I decide to sleep, so that i can wake up earlier on sunday morning to accompany my hubby for breakfast. I woke up at 930am, bath and head downstairs coffeeshop for breakfast wjth my darling hubby. I had a toast set for breakfast while hubby ate fried bee hoon. After that, we went to walk around and head home as i want to cook lunch for hubby.

What am i going to cook??? Well, I decide to try sweet n sour pork, i know hubby like this dish. I cooked a total of 2 dish. Soup was cooked by my mum.

1st dish: Sweet n sour pork. Looks yummy right? Sure its yummy, cause i cook one wahahahha. Its not a difficult dish to cook. Steps are rather easy.

2nd dish: Fry veges, simple dish, just fry some mixed veges, can be very nice too. We can slowly enjoy our lunch.

This is actually the life i have been wanting, sat and sun off same with my hubby. During our off day, we can plan either to go out or rot at home TOGETHER. It seems we have more time for ourselves. We can wake up together, bath than slowly walk downstairs hand in hand for breakfast. Taking our own sweet time, slowly eat.

I can buy some meat n veges home to prepare lunch, after lunch its either we go out or take a nap and meet friends at night for dinner. Since Monday both of us have to work, we wont be going out till too late, got to come back early to rest, ready for monday to go for work.

Although my hubby didnt say anytihng, i know deep in his heart, he is very happy. I feel happy too and will learn to adapt to new changes. Especially in my new job, i will try to be braver and have more confidence in myself which i know currently i dont have it. I will do my best.

My 4th day in new company

Its been 4 days since i left my old company. Leaving behind some good colleagues which i will alway miss. During my last working day with them, they even organise a small farewell party for me. Almost succeed in making me cry haha.

Anyway since i made a decidion, there will be no turning back, can only move forward. I hope all of them will stay pretty and healthy. Hopefully they will never forget me hahaha.... should meet up sometime. I also miss my manager, how i wish my lady boss is like my old manager haha. I think hard to find a manager as patient as her. I began to miss her nagging. My senior was damm patient with me too. Lucky me... if not i sure jialat.

Back to my 4th day story in my new office.

I was given a table of my own, only took a photo of 1 side. My table was rather big, with 3 drawers and 1 cupboard, allows me to put many many things haha...sooner or later my table wont be so clean. It will be a messy table hahaha... and also i have a PC of my own, the screen musch bigger than my old company one hahaha...

My new company colleagues are nice and friendly, they know my senior going on leave for 8 days, they told me not to worry, anything not sure can ask them. One of them even say she will stay back with me on next wed to help me finish the report.

I feek relieved, yesterday my senior and i ot till 10pm (got ot pay), every wed we need to do reports for all the directors, its my 1st time doing, i feel so scare, afraid i will make mistake. Taking down alot of notes, anyway not only 2 of us, there are around 10 people who stay back and we order KFC for dinner wahahaha...having a small party.

After that we continue doing our report. Next wed i going to do it on my own, with the notes i have wrote down and have done only once, i hope i wont make any mistake. While she is away, i hope no one come ask me questions, i really dont know how to answer or what to do, being a 4 day old staff, how much will she know?

I can only countdown and look forward till the day my senior come back work. And hope i can pass the 3 mth probation. Hopefully no one can ask me anything...please.....

2nd day of work

So far so good, i learn alot of things today, write down many notes. I even rewrite it to make it look neat.

I feel much better today, although still feeling afraid, but much better than yesterday. There are still many things which i need to learn and it takes time, and only practice makes perfect. I can writea whole book of notes, without hands on and pratice, i will never be able to remember them.

Actually i enjoy doing all these paper work, just do my things no need to serve customers, no need to talk so much haha. But today when i call DHL cause i need to send a document overseas, while calling, my heart beat very fast, i so scare my heart want to come out haha...Its isnt that difficult, only that i stressing myself...the "What if" again lolx...

My hubby ask me again the same question, i can only ans him not happy nor sad. Cause i dont feel very happy and i dont feel working here is sad. If i say i very happy that will be a lie cause can see from my face. But i am not sad, only scare. Sad and scare are totally different issue. My hubby dont understand at all. He keep saying scare means sad...faint. Well, maybe only till i can do things on my own than i wont feel scare and may feel happier. And my cute hubby today sms me a sweet sms asking me to jia you and be happy. I feel so warm in my heart. I know hes trying to encourage me, dont want to see me unhappy. I will try.

Lucky for me i have a good colleague, guiding me all the way. Very patience with me. I often remind myself to be very careful. As the most scary part is office polities. Just get my things done, dont talk too much. You dont know who is good and who is bad, everyone wear a mask. I only come to work and get my pay, thats all. I dont wish to get too close to them, as i dont wish later on they got any planning to go out play...sing K lal, no way, to me after work is go home eat and rest, next day still have to work.

So its best not to be too close, only 2 to 3 close one is enough. Lunch hour can eat together, than call hubby or my god sister to chat awhile. after work in bus can chat with hubby too. Just hope everything goes well.

1st day of work

Today's my 1st day of work. Feeling so stress and scare. Afraid will do things wrong. How do i feel, i can only say feel nothing. Not happy and not sad...only feel damm moody. Dont feel like talking at all. Just moody lolx, no feelings now.

Its really silly, i also dont know what am i afraid of, maybe because my partner going on leave from this friday till 13 march than come back. I feel so scare. How much can she teach me in 4 days before she goes on leave? Even i write down all the notes, doesnt means i can remember what to do. Who can i look for? Another colleague? She might not even be able to help me.

I decide i will try out, its either they happy with me or i fail the 3 mths probation. Lucky for me my partner was very nice to me, she even guide me step by step. What she taught me today i can understand. My boss looks fierce, making me feeling more scare. Other department, well they do their own things. Maybe there are too many people compare to my previous work place, causing me to be more nervous. I cant remember any1 of them haha...think i am to scare.

Jolyne told me to take 1 step at a time, its only my 1st day. previous place work for 7 yrs now suddenly change an environment, sure feel scare and not use to it. In comfort zone for too long. In 1 weeks time i will feel different. I hope it will be like what she says. Good luck lolx...

Say Good bye to old job and say hello here i come to my new job!

Time flies, today is Friday. Off on Sat, Sun to work as it will be my last day in my current work place. Mon i will be going to my new work place.

My Hubby ask: How do you feel? Excited?
Me: Dont know, mixed feeling.
My Hubby: How come, not excited meh?
Me: Really dont know.
My Hubby: Feel scared?
Me: excited and scare.
My Hubby: Whats there to scare...you really scary cat.
Me: .......... :(

People keep asking how i feel:

1. Excited?
2. Scared?
3. Happy?
4. Worried?
5. At last, no need serve those parents!
6. You can learn new things!

My Ans: ALL THE ABOVE. What ans can i give? I feel so mixed up, my feelings all MIXED up. I can only say i dont know how i feel as the the mixed feelings coming together, i dont know what to feel. I can only say if you knows beside you there is alway a devil and an angel. Only to see if the devils in you win or the angel in you win.

My devil very hardworking, every single day its reminding me all the negetive thoughts! What if not successful? You dont pass the probation how? You will be out of job, no one wants you! Your new manager no good how? Your new colleagues bully you how? You will be alone with no friends in a new place, how pathetic! You cant cope with your new job how? If too stress how how how.... I have to ask my angel to come out and drive the devil away!





My Angel told me: Theres nothing to worry about, be a brave girl. You dont have to face those nasty uncivilised customers, thats why you want to change right? You hate working in customer service line.

You want to go into admin line, you got it! You know whats your job scope and you know you can do it. You able to learn it. Be good be humble, people wont treat you bad as long you have a learning attitude. Dont understand, ASK! Wont die, wont loss a slice of your skin.

You are just earning a living, so dont worry too much, work hard sure to pass the 3 mths probation. You get to off on every sat and sun! Isnt that what you want? Same as your hubby! Mon to Fri 830am to 530pm. You will have more time to spend with your family. You will also get to know new people and make new friens rather than surrounded by china people.

Of course with friends encouragement, i feel braver and stronger, pushing the devil away, adding positive to myself. So Maggie! Say "goodbye to my old place and HELLO, here i come to new place!" Jia you lolx...Be brave!
