时间

时间总不知不觉从弹指间溜走,而且好像有时速加快的感觉。

这个星期好像过得特别地快。似乎没做什么,一转眼又到了星期五。哈哈~ 又是周末回家休息享受的时候。XD

刚看完The Magic Flute的演出。精彩。看到演员们既是敲奏乐器,又是载歌载舞,乐在其中。对歌剧一直都没有太多的接触,有机会的话,可以进一步了解。=D

看完歌剧后,在新加坡河畔走了一会儿。喜欢那种悠游自在漫步于夜晚的感觉,如果能加上微风迎面吹来的话,那就更好不过了。走得累了,还能在河畔旁的凳子上坐下休息。或许可以成为一个不错的outing地点。

夜晚的Raffles Place,附近的一些欧式建筑物,如Fullerton Hotel,Victoria Theater,Asian Civilization Museum,在灯火的点缀下,让我想拍下它们,练一练拍照捕捉角度的技巧。有个愿望,希望说能有一手拍照的好技巧,然后有机会踏足世界的角落,捕捉不同的人物风景。

相信总有一天会实现。=)

Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy

A great concert!!! Enjoyed it so much~

The music were so nice. The audiences were very enthusiastic and supporting. The atmosphere was so high~

And I'm able to see the music composer Nobuo Uematsu in real person! Worth the ticket price~ Lol. Nobuo Uematsu has an amiable feature. The impression he gave me is he is a gentle and kind person.

The conductor of this concert, Arnie Roth is great too. A humourous and funny person. Haha~

All in all, I'm quite like the music from Final Fantasy although I'm not a gamer. Really are great pieces! =D Looking forward next FF concert!! Hope it would come soon~

- The Concert Hall
- The post-show dialogue session

Autograph session by Mr Arnie Roth and Nobuo Uematsu Sensei

- The Esplanade, taken at the rooftop

Library @ Esplanade, a place which I wished to visit since quite some time ago.

Star Trek

As I wished, I had watched Star Trek yesterday~ XD

A very nice movie I would say. The computer graphic effect, the universe, the story... Attracted me all along the movie till its end.

Right from the start, I was touched by the sacrifice of the captain in order to free the people on the fleet, including his wife and his newborn son. Quite a unique way to bring out story of the next generation.

The elements in the movie are quite interesting. The supernova, the transition of time, the black hole, etc. Regarding astro-physics. Interesting yet profound. By the way, the movie did not factually touch much on these.

It's fun watching Star Trek. I like this kind of sci-fi movie. =)

Another incident yesterday is that I was mistaken as PRC by a cleaner auntie in the food court. Auntie said I spoke like PRC, seems alike. Erm...since when my accent had changed uh? Lol~

Just started to watch Battlestar Galactica Season 3. Heard that the ending is nice and explained a lot of things. Looking forward~ =D

Finally got PPStream setup done in my laptop. It's some kind like online-TV. Can be used to watch serial drama, anime, movie, etc. I think there's a lot of other show too, but I haven't really explore it yet. So I have another channel of entertainment added, hehe~

Next Friday is concert time! Going for the Distant Worlds:Final Fantasy Music Concert. Shall have an enjoyable night with the musics presented. =D Will have another musical night on Thursday in next 2 week. This is an opera. Never watch opera before. Shall be a different experience I think. Heh~

工作效率超低的一天~

今早起床,心情郁闷。有股冲动想请假,不想上班。XD

到了公司,整个人还是无精打采的。但见到同事,却又总不能黑着脸面对大家。有种强颜欢笑的感觉。

有时还真希望能一个人静静地在座位上工作。不去理会办公室里发生的事。哈哈,似乎有点自闭。但是老实说,还真的蛮向往能一边听着音乐,一边工作的环境。不用去管其他的事情,只管完成自己的工作。

早上的心情,是有那么一点点地糟。做什么都提不起劲,然后也决定了偷偷放纵自己一下。=P

被退回来,需要再思考的会议记录,决定暂时先搁着不做。因为我对于公司的工作流程并不熟悉,需要花费一点时间询问同事收集资料。再伤一点脑筋把资料拼凑好完成一篇简约的会议记录。今天有点懒惰,也没心思伤脑筋~

所以,今天就决定做些比较直接,不用伤脑筋的事。

-把上星期五拟好的invoice打印出来交给GM签名。
-把已打好的billing清单的秩序重新整理,加入老板所要求的东西。
-零零碎碎做些资料输入的工作。

然而应该只能放纵自己一天。今天一整天的低工作效率,让我累积了不少的工作。

-3份Purchase Order
-1份Invoice draft
-2份工程的Supply and Hire清单
-1份会议记录

都是些得耗费精神与时间来完成的工作。

再加上明天有internal auditor training,后天有internal audit。啊,这个星期有得忙了~~

似乎有快要生病的迹象。要好好照顾身体~

希望明天不要再没有mood工作了。

生活点滴

一些生活小故事。

昨早,比平时还要早出门。负责载送我们的同事说不能迟到。但是没想到早上地铁发生延误,造成人群拥挤,没法挤上地铁。结果比平时还要迟到。虽说不是迟得很离谱,但是接到了同事催促的短讯,心里难免觉得有点不公平。为什么其他人迟到就没人说什么,而我迟到,就好像做错了什么似的?hmm...

拨了一个早上的电话。我想我几乎都把yellow pages列出来的pharmacy电话都拨过了。就只为了查询有关温度计的价钱与存货。没想到打电话也可以花掉那么长的时间。

发现每当我的buddy同事请假的时候,我都会有蛮多东西要忙的。当有点时间稍作休息时,已经是接近下班时分。哈~不知这是好事还是坏事呢?XD

"Unlucky" day

Server down. Unable to do anything using computer for almost the whole day. So suay is that I'm the only one facing this problem. - -" By the way, I still managed to finish 2 meeting minutes by hand-written. Still have to pend for checking and I believe there sure will have some edits and changes. So still quite some time before I can really submit the completed meeting minutes.

One of my colleagues, so called my buddy, was on leave. Thus I need to cover up some of her works. However, met with some hiccups when dealing with the works. Anyway, were able to work it out eventually. Learnt something new again. Next time when my colleague was going on leave, be sure to obtain every possible details that I might need when cover up her job. As the saying goes,"不经一事,不长一智"~ Lol... =D

Attracted by the "Star Trek" movie poster this evening. And from the trailer I watched, it seems quite interesting. It's shown on this Thursday--7/5/09 in Singapore. Plan to watch it next week. Hope it goes as I wish. =)

Updates

Life as usual and it's so fast that we had almost entered the middle of year 2009.

In the month of May, we welcomed it with a holiday on the first day. Haha~ A long weekend. But it's not for me as I still need to work on that Saturday. Anyway, it's still a holiday for me which I can wake up naturally and have my own time for the rest of the day. =)

Went to Tiong Bahru Plaza. The place was not crowded with people. Nice~ Without the crowd, it's better for window shopping too. Can walk around the place freely. =P Watched X-Men Origins:Wolverine. Not bad. It attracted my attention throughout the movie. There shall have more nice movies coming soon. Waiting~~ Waiting~~

Back to KT after work on Saturday. Went out yumcha with my KT friends at night. Most of my friends are graduating this year. Heh~ Welcome to join us in the working society. Lol~ We talked about some 'stories' at work. And everyone is agree that work is not easy and have to learn the tactics in work. Congratulations for friends who had found job.

Then it's time to be back to SG and prepare to work. Met with a heavy traffic jam on the way back to SG. 1 hour something to reach Ulu Tiram. - -"" As usual, there's a long Q at the bus boarding bay for CW bus and 170/160 bus at Msia checkpoint. Therefore, instead of taking these 2 buses, I queued for bus 950. Until today only I found out that SG checkpoint had started to use the temperature scan equipment due to the swine flu.

Met quite a number of people on the way back to SG from KT. First met with Ah Pui's brothers at KT. Then met a neighbour friend when I alighted from bus at JB. After that, when I walked towards Msia checkpoint, I met BH, going towards different direction. Later, I met Cyn and her cousin at Sg checkpoint. Haha~ 1st time bump into so many people on my way back to SG.

Anyway, it's time to go sleep. Tired~~~ And look forward the weekend ahead. =D

久违了

今天和AK与HC相约到JW吃晚餐。
有种久违了的感觉。
乘着地铁到达湖畔地铁站,差一点忘了该往哪个方向走,也差点不记得有哪些巴士可以搭。哈哈~有一段时间没到这个地方了。
经过之前常光顾的food court,有种熟悉的感觉。
突然觉得JW那里的肉圆板面很好吃。
有点怀念food court那里的奶茶。
当然还有auntie的豆花。
没想到auntie还记得我。哈~
之后,乘着巴士回家。一路上,我的感觉是“我真的有好一段时间没有经过这里了。”
突然有种熟悉又亲切的感觉。是什么原因,我也说不上来。
可能邻里的food court予人一种比较安逸悠闲的感觉吧。没有快节奏的步伐,没有熙来攘往的人群。
感觉与在购物中心里的食阁用餐是不一样的。

换个地方,感觉还不错。

25/4/2009

一个无需工作却还是得早起的星期六。

预约了早上8点30分的时间,要到Lavender ICA Building呈交我的PR申请表格与相关文件。
如常乘着地铁,依时到达ICA5楼的PR Service Centre。扫描了号码,就到柜台前等候着。没一会儿就轮到我了。心想这下好了,可以早点做好,早点回马来西亚。而这也是为什么我预约那么早的原因。
可是当一切都是那么地顺利时,总有某些不太顺利的事情会发生。
当执行人员核对我的文件时,发现少了我的初中与高中的文凭与副本。而且,表格也少填了一些资料。资料填得不齐全没关系,填好便是;但是文凭没带那就糟了。结果,我得从Lavender回到Chinese Garden的家里拿我的文凭,再回到ICA Building交给那位执行人员。
就这样,浪费了一个小时的时间。
接下来,便是等候消息的时候。希望能早点申请到PR,了却一桩“心事”。

最近,好象有点衰~~怎么办?

相信

相信只要坚持
就一定能达致目标

想上业余课程
但因为工作地点与上课时间配合不来
而迟迟没能如愿

至今
愿望清单上
只实现了其中一样

而这一样
其实也面临了一些问题
“工欲善其事,必先利其器”
唯独我缺少了这所谓的“器”

该找找有些什么值得期待的事情
不知有多久没有尽情地开怀大笑了

加油

很多时候
面对没处理过的事时
那种不确定、茫然无措的感觉
总是在不知不觉中
萦绕于脑海里
面对不同的人、事、物
总希望能够给与妥当的处理
然而
这往往让人觉得好累好累
思前想后
结果还是理不出个所以然
最终就以一句
“船到桥头自然直”
为事情做个结束
也许这样也对
该发生的终究会发生
担心、烦恼其实是多余的
倒不如提起勇气面对

事情处理前的不安定感
或许在事情处理后就会消失
加油!

Meaningful

Smooth roads never make good drivers
Smooth sea never makes good sailors
Clear skies never makes good pilots
Problem and hassle free life NEVER makes a strong person
Be strong enough to accept the challenges of Life

A message from an email I received which I found that quite meaningful and which can be used as a self-encouragement.

1st attempt...

On writing official meeting minutes.

Frankly, I never officially write meeting minutes before, except for the composition homework in school which was don't know how many years ago. Lol~

Been a bit worry when GM told me that I would have to learn on how to write meeting minutes and will be in charge of minutes taking in the Internal Audit meeting.

Don't have much confidence on my listening skills thus I am afraid that I might leave out important points discussed in the meeting. Another worry is the presentation skills. "How to present a short and sweet meeting minutes?" been hovering in my mind~

And so I started to prepare for it. Taken the previous meeting minutes as reference, I roughly know the format and the way to present the points. Thanks my friends for the template as a reference and advices on writing meeting minutes. Cyn, your advice for using the agendas as a guideline is very useful. This gives me a headstart on how to plan the outline for the minutes and what to take note during the meeting. *A big big thanks for you* Through internet, I manage to find some tips on minutes writing too. Haha, felt that internet is an amazing tools~

After checked by my colleagues, my first ever meeting minutes is quite acceptable, although I need to make some changes in phrasing and to add on more elaboration. Quite encourageble~ Will continue to work on it. =D

Look forward...

A short break to Teluk Intan this weekend.

Finally, this long-awaiting weekend had reached. I am going to visit my uncle, auntie and my 2 cute cousins there.

Had applied a half day leave tomorrow to avoid heavy traffic at both checkpoint and Monday another day of leave so that I have sufficient time to rest and maybe some buffer time to adjust myself to be back to "reality". Lol~

Hope that time can pass faster so that tomorrow can come earlier and after 4 and a half hour in office, I am free to have my long-weekend holiday! Meanwhile will hope that time can pass slower so that I can have longer break~ Haha... a statement which is not logical and 自相矛盾~ =P

Anyway, I think a short getaway shall brighten my mood... Recently work is not that smooth. Shall learn to 看开~ =D

And wishing all my friends in their final year a best of luck in their final exams, FYP presentation, thesis submission and job hunting. For friends who had started working, 在工作上更上一层楼~

大家加油!

工作不简单

有时真的是搞不懂
该用怎样的方式来做事
总说互相帮忙
但是怎么老是出状况?
有人请假
所以该部门的助手就帮忙cover up工作
却有人认为说这影响了该部门的工作
因为少了助手的帮忙
使到该部门的主管必须一个人负责整理输入所有的东西
觉得有点吃不消
结果就到老板面前“反映”状况
可是这样的情况并不是每天都发生
而且不是说同事间要有团队精神、要互相帮忙的吗?

替别人着想
从不拖延工作
总在接到工作的第一时间就着手进行
但是做好的工作却因要经过上司的检查而一再等待
有时会因为无法总结
而必须被暂缓
这样系统里就必须进行调整
最近发现了这样的调整会带来一些疑惑
难道说之前都不是这样的吗?
怎么都没人提出?
作为一个刚接手这些工作的新人
听的是主管的指示
似乎有点无原无故被牵扯进来的感觉

交响情人梦

看来我似乎在这里销声匿迹了一阵子~哈
最近在看“交响情人梦”这部以古典音乐为题材,改编自日本漫画的连续剧。
非常之好看!!!剧中人物表情是夸张的,但是却充满着“笑”果。我从第一集开始,真的是每看一集,都是边看边笑。我想不知情的人,可能会以为我发神经了呢!哈哈
还有就是剧中一直都能听到好听的乐曲~ 喜欢剧中的配乐~ 予人一种说不出的舒服。配合轻松的故事情节,让忙碌了一整天的身心得到舒解~
对钢琴音乐情有独钟。
总觉得能在跳动的旋律中,不自觉感到放松,继而陶醉~

工作小插曲

最近工作上发生了一些小故事。

首先是“夹心人”事件。一片好意,最后似乎演变成擅自做主,不尊重负责人。从而也发现了原来在职场上互相帮忙并不是那么的单纯。替别人着想,但是别人心里想的并不一定就与你想的一样。当然,并不是说以后就“家家自扫门前雪”,只是在帮人之前必须考虑一下会不会重蹈覆辙。

之后就是要呈交的文件资料不足。因为一些突发情况而造成事情必须拖到最后一秒才来赶着完成。又因经验不足,不知该怎么处理,让自己压力了一下。还好在另一个同事的帮忙下,得到了相关资料,最后事情得以解决。发现了其实做事必须要懂得变通,对突发状况或逆境,要泰然处之。不然到最后只会苦了自己。

再来就是昨天早上,突然被总经理aka老板娘叫进去办公室“聊天”。其实我还蛮喜欢与总经理聊天的,因为总是会在聊天的过程中学到很多道理。这也是我很佩服我老板娘的原因之一。她的观察力很强,做事有条不紊,有亲和力但又不失威严,总是能让人信服。她总是说“Be reasonable, practicable and responsible”。而我认为这的确没错。做任何事或决定之前,先想想“这是否有理?是否行得通?而做了这样的决定,是否有能力负责以及承担后果?” 如果觉得能,就去做。如果不肯定,就先请示,之后再进行。还有就是对事情要抱着开放的态度,要能接受批评以及承认错误。这样才能从中学习,吸取教训。

接着就是今天临时召开的会议。提出的几个议程让整个会议的气氛顿时变得凝重。虽说是对事不对人,但是我觉得多多少少总会在心里留下一点点的疙瘩。当然站在不同人的立场,这是能理解的。当中,“夹心人”事件又被重提了。也让我发现了职场上说话要小心,一个不留神也许没有错的你,就会变成错在于你了。人心难测~ 防人之心不可无。但是整天这样地防来防去,很辛苦啊~

觉得说每个人的处事方式不同,明白个中道理以及站在对方的角度想,对一件事情的处理会有更多的谅解与包容,也就更容易地接受。但别人是否也和你有着同样的想法呢?

Glad

Glad that my colleagues are helpful.

Felt so tense when I found that I have no sufficient information to submit today where this morning is the deadline to submit the documents.

The colleague whom I have to report to on this submission was on MC. Then she did not 交代 anything regarding this. She only told me to hold on the submission till we got the renewed documents. So I had to be on my own. Actually this submission is not difficult if I have all the information that I need. However things are not always go as the way we want it to be.

Till this morning, the documents were still incomplete. Never met with this, I was somehow at a lost and start to worry that I will delay others' work if I did not submit it on time. Luckily, eventually found a way to deal with it. Nevertheless this has to be followed up as I still haven't got the hard copy of the document and I have to have it as soon as possible.Hope that the colleague of mine will be back to work tomorrow as I still have something to clarify with her, else it will be a bit hard for me to follow up.

Lesson learnt from this is there's a lot of unexpected things around us, shall learn to take things as it would be. A friend said,"That's life." Everything that happened is an experience. There's a lot of things that we won't really know until we have met with it. And will realize that there's actually a lot to be learnt in our life.
