Wednesday, March 14, 2007 Crazy wk>hv been bloggin bits and pieces up to this post b4 i leave for bangkok on thu... dun wanna crash everythin up to last min to blog ma... haiz has been a crazy wk since i stepped in the office on mon cos been bz finalizing a proj b4 i leave (since i dun hv a laptop to wrk on when i'm away) and colleagues comin to sg all at once... candy is here for abt a wk or so and we're going BKK tog... and my indian colleague kuntal also finally made his way here after his EP approval... he was lost on the 1st day trying to find the office cos he took a bus instead of a cab and missed the stop... had to hop into a cab in the end juz to get to the office hahaa....
besides bz trying to finish up my proj, organizing and making final confirmations to meet pple in BKK, i was also bz interviewing pple!!! hahahhaha yalor... candy included me as a second opinion for some pple she tot who had potential.... there were some who were a waste of time but i muz say there are a few suitable pple wif the correct backgrd...
there was this very senior businessman-like man who interviewed on tue and he seemed to be a very gd potential in bringin sales to the region and he has the correct backgrd... juz tat i felt like i hv a gap wif him since he is so much senior... so nt sure if he's approachable and friendly enuff like candy or my ex-boss... imagine when i spoke wif him i felt as tho i was interviewed by him rather than i interviewing him!!! he asked me things like hw interesting i found this job and wat my aspirations are in 5 yrs down the road!!! pengz... maybe i am still quite young to him and i dun tink i felt intimidated but rather tat conversation sort of set a distance bet me and him....
but at the same time, i was impressed tat he did his homewrk cos he's been keeping up wif the biofuels market and took time to look at our website and understand who's doin wat!!! he even noticed i wrked in nalco b4 and asked some qns abt my experience there cos he also wrked there a long time ago... candy seems to like him alot in terms of him being able to increase business sales part but i'm the one who will be wrkg closely wif him rite??? so its impt tat i get along wif him! hehehe... things may or may not be the same when he starts wrking wif us but as she ritely puts it, one word fr me and he's gone ehehehhehee... well we'll c hw it goes after my ex-boss and big boss conducts a phone interview wif him.....
of cos candy took chances in bet when we're alone to ask me if i ever tot of taking over and managing the office... and i tink she'll still bug me wif the same qn when we're in BKK... i said i'm really nt the sales and presentations person and i guess managing an office is fine but i really pref to concentrate on the industry data and market research part... one person alone cannot handle all of tat so tats y my ex-boss could grow the region client base when she was here while i was the one supporting the products... so it wd be great to find someone who could do the sales part...
and also nw tat we hv new colleagues its very difficult for me to mentor them when i hv to support the daily tasks all by myself... and its nt helpin much when they dun seem to pick up fast, even the main points and the ironic thing is tat they are here to help me! so it can be rather tough for me to juggle so many things at once... the guy i mentioned above seems to be the type who can mentor pple given his long standing experience but in wat kind of method, i wouldnt noe.... cos we are after all a small team and we need to wrk closely so flexibility is very impt... well juz hope things will turn out well =)
b4 i left for BKK got a chance to meet wif Singapore Petroleum Co (SPC) at their head office located in harborfront... they oni became our client recently by buying a fuel supply & demand study fr us so candy who's partially responsible for this study was there to provide onsite value added service as well as see if they hv interest in our other products... it was a pretty cool session and altho i still haven really grasp the supply & demand dynamics but i did learn alot fr the executives there...
also met up wif joy and alice last sun to hv some dim sum for lunch at teahouse... which meant tat i went back to office area on a sun!! hahahhaa... saw tat the place was quite bustling wif the sun flea market going on... and the food court still had some stalls open! it was nice catching up wif them, esp on the first couple fr our class tats gettin married this yr - henry and szewei's upcoming wedding in may... also bumped into yijue and her family havin lunch there too... then we went to catch music & lyrics at PS... quite a sweet show wif hugh grant singing and prancing ard hahaa...
my colleagues and i also had a get together lunch including our accountant to welcome kuntal... candy said she wanted to go wif teahouse but i oni went there on sun so we chose lingzhi vege restaurant instead cos kuntal is vegetarian.. its rite below my office but we nvr really got a chance to try it so its a gd excuse =) food's not bad if u fancy havin flour filling up ur tummy.. nt the kind of thing i wd do freq tho...
okie dokie folks... speak to u when i get back fr BKK... my 2nd time there so prob goin shoppin durin the wkend at the same places i went to last time.... and definitely going for some messaging... candy and i definitely need it to relax amidst the tight schedule =)
En Vogue - Don't Let Go (Love)
[Chorus:] What's it gonna be Cuz I can't pretend Don't you wanna be more than friends Hold me tight and don't let go Don't let go Have the right to loose control Don't let go
Verse 1: I often tell myself That we could be more than just friends I know you think that if we move to soon It would all end I live in misery when you're not around And I won't be satisfied 'till we're taking those vows There'll be some lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking Oh, lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking
Verse 2: I often fantasize The stars above are watching you They know my heart and speak to yours Like only lovers do If I could wear your clothes I'd pretend I was you and lose control There'll be some lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking Oh lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking, oh yeah
Bridge: Running in and out my life has got me so confused You gotta make the sacrifice Somebody's got to choose We can make it if we try for the sake of you and I Together we can make it right # posted by MinGMinG | 10:41 PM
