My HR dept is all in Phuket for the offsite Market Strategy and development meeting. Luckily, one colleague could not go as she is pregnant, cos the minute everyone left, a major crisis came about, and if i was alone, i have no idea how to go about dealing it!Phew...This whole week, we had to help the dept to do powerpoint presentations for them to present in phuket, of course its up to us administrators to do it right?At first, i was pretty worried and stressed cos my powerpoint skills are not that good. i mean in JC, i never use much of it. in Uni, i have no presentations to do, never prepare any powerpoint slides before.. you get the drift right? Anyway, altogether, i had to prepare 3 powerpoints presentations. one for my direct boss, luckily that one he wants it plain with no fancy stuff. Just use the basic functions can already. the second one more tricky, had to ask around and felt stupid about it, but when everything was done, there was a slight sense of achievement there.when i put it on slide show, i felt proud. though its simple, i learnt and the end product was pretty ok... in my view la...beams....but after that, after they left, i had a big headache. i mean real physical headache. even my colleague
said that i look pale.. when i close my eyes and open them, i felt that the world was like swaying, nearly fainted.dunnoe why also.. now still having it.
The great spore sale is now on. Just came back from town, have not been there for quite a while liao, that time working in Adecco always there so sick, now is Suntec.. haahaha... there is so many pple there!Carpark is hard to find, walking in a str8 line not possible,queues are like til outside the shops that kind of sale...oh by the way,dun go marche in orchard, it does not exist liao!Wanted to eat there today, but upon reaching we find that its closed to make way for other stuff i guess. so now, there is only marche in suntec. dun tell me that Marche in orchard has no one?cannot be....anyway, have not gone shopping for quite a while in town, could not find anything though. bug sized gers like me have a harder time getting clothes in spore. everything here is for like the petite average ger here. in a way it is good, dun get tempted so easily cos there is not much i can do if the clothes dun fit right? sigh.... anyway, sometimes i wish that i was so much skinner so that i can wear all the clothes that i see that looks good. why do i always wear black?cos its a slimming colour thats why... if i could, of course i would like to wear bright coloured clothes as well...
What is Sacrifice? Have i been spoiled by my dad?I know that i am lucky that i get to go abroad every yr.Maybe i am too used to that lifestyle and i cannot expect that to happen next time. its unfair to put such expectations on dear, who never got this luxary and expect him to do so for me. i know that if he could, he would want it for us too. He said something in the car tonight that struck a chord with me and struck me dumb. he said that we have to make sacrifices. If we want to marry young, buy a house, we got to weigh what is more impt and make the sacrifice. that struck me dumb as i know in my mind, he is right. But my heart felt heavy that i have to give up my dream of travel the world together with dear and wun get to explain and let him see personally what i have been saying of the stuff that i have seen. when we get older, i dun think we would get the chance to as we get more weighted down with responsibilites and duties.but he is right, we should sacrifice for the most important thing..
