Passed Finally

Unfortunately, its not the exam results, its not the P license plate.

Health level passed, officially accepted into TPS, gonna start work on 20th Sept, 2 weeks of rest XD

Mama says to go KL to visit uncle and me and wingwing wanted shopping, but looks like the trip haven finalised.
Deep down, I feel like going to Genting to 搏杀.

Money Fly Money~

After my physically and mentally ordeal with the fucking company's many people, I decided what's most important now is to build up my health.

This lousy body of mine extremely needs EXERCISE, REST, GOOD FOOD and RECREATION.

I might go jogging 'some day' soon, I will continue to sleep more, I will start to feast back my normal mode, and I need other recreational activities besides gaming and surfing the net for dramas and animes.

Recently I took an interest in sewing. Buying clothes has been extremely difficult since my weight has been yoyo-ing.
And I got the chance into some local's sewing blogs, which further linked to french and japanese seamstress blogs. Japanese's are my cup of tea.

I decided to self-learn instead of joining FMDS and paying $550.
Most of the seamstress in those blogs self-learnt too.

Its never going to be a easy and cheap hobby, but I do think that its a healthier one other than hardcore gaming.

Im going to be 23 real soon. Its time to be really mature, really responsible, really cultivated, really hardworking, really energetic and really cash cow.

No more time to waste. One of my goals for next year will definitely be sewing a ROM dress for myself, hehe~

Buddha bless me :)

At Home

I have been staying at home these few days, and feeding on the medicine meant for low BP - steroids.

Meanwhile doing online quizzes for Law and Econs, as well as searching for materials for the assignments. And made up the decision to do Econs assignment on my own, and my mind is spinning now on how to churn out that report which is dued in a week.

Other than steroids there's also a sweety thing, to up the level of blood sugar.

I hope the levels will pass this time.

I feel tired, sleepy and giddy.

And no choice but to reject Karin's offer for dinner.
Honestly, I wanted to go but I know that if i step out of the house today, I wun make it for work tml. The fever will come again.

And the stupid JF doesnt wan to release me earlier, she still wants to torture me with her 淫威, her 权利.
Fuck you, and ask your pets dun harass me ever again.

Im a grumpy and angry person again, and I shall not give face anymore. Dun make me angry for the coming 9 working days.

Health Results

Large Chest Scan today.

And I took 3 times in order for it to look 'clearer'.

You have to breathe in and hold the breath while waiting for the X-Ray to photoscan your lungs, heart, stomach, and kidney. Intestines too.

First 2 times are blurry because I cant hold my breath for very long.

The purpose of the whole health check is to make myself successful and healthy enough to go in TPS as an employee.

But from what I know now....

At the ripe young age of 22, not even 23 yet (dammit!), Im diagnosed with Hypotension. Very low index.

At the ripe young age of 22, I have difficulty in hearing. Too much earphones.

At the ripe young age of 22, I have too much fat mass, meaning high cholesterol.

At the ripe young age of 22, I have Thyroids.

Haha!

What should I do now?? O.O

Pre-Employment Health Check

Went for my pre-employment health check at JP's Dr Woo Clinic today.

The results are quite bad.

My Height: 163cm
(I remember I was 165cm in Sec 4, with, I shrank??)

My Weight: 65.2kg
(Omfg, consider I was 68kg few months ago, my weight did drop considerably. But still, it means Im now overweight.)

My Body Fat Mass: 40.3%
(Comparing the BFM percentage to BMI, Im considered as OBESE. The healthy range for BFM for my height should be 17% - 24% only.)

Blood Pressure: 83/54
(Low BP index, meaning I have hypotension now. Considering I have been having lightheaded symptoms like giddy and headache, shortness of breath, regular fever of more than 38 C degrees, stiff neck, severe back pain, prolonged diarrhoea, fatigue, loss oh hair and even seizures and fits. All these symptoms described by the doc, yes I have them. I might need to take Steriods for a longer period.)

Eyesight: 5/6
(Well, I mistook N for H, for both of my eyes. Im gonna buy a new specs.)

Hearing: Average
(It is above average for normal people. Im only "Average". The nurse told me that I couldn't listen to higher-pitched frequency.)

Breathing of the Lungs: 74
(74 is only considered as acceptable. The first few tries are only 54 and 65. You have to blow into a tube to test the amount of oxygen you can breathe out and how long you can sustain. The first breathe out have to be harder and need to continue for 6 seconds. Apparently, I can only last for 4 seconds.)

All in all, it WASN'T GOOD.

After all those tests, I had a blood test where 3 big tubes of blood were drawn for my elbow point. Again, got situation. Doctor say my blood veins are very deep in and yeah, he poked quite deep inside to find that vein. The poke was still not that painful, maybe I have too much fats protecting me, lol~ But the subsequent drawing of blood feels so ge li.

Oh crap, I cant imagine myself gg for blood donation drive ever.

Tml is Large Chest Scan. Hope that tml's will be better than today's.

Jurong Island

Yesh, Im back to Jurong Island again.

This time, instead of being the service provider who always get the last piece of biscuits, Im on the 'customer of service provider' side.
This time, instead of having the earliest knock off time of 6.30pm, my new working time is 8am to 4.45pm.
This time, instead of having a lil bit of 1.6k pay, Im paid much higher.

Everything seems to be turning for the better again.

Woke up damn early to prep for the interviewat 7am, and left the hse to hire a cab to Jurong Pier Checkpoint.
Apparently I wasnt the only one, there's also a guy (who name I forget).
I thought that he will be competiting for the position with me, but well, both of us got hired.

The HR managers were nice funny guy, and Buddha bless, they are willing to accept me.
I will be doing stuffs back to the basic again, like mosy trading companies do on the logistics side.

L/C negotiation, shipping import and export documents, COO and COA, even the software is SAP.
Customer order processing and liaisoning with 3PL and carriers, customer feedbacks and complaints.
Stock-take activities and field checks.

All these, is what I have been looking for, what I need to acquire for knowledge.

Amazingly, I got a decent pay rise too, lol.
More amazingly, despite that pay, my OT was still 1.5x.

There are several additional perks on top of the standard 14 AL and 14MC.
If no MC were taken for the whole year, there is a $700 cash award at the end of the yr.
If I were to go on holidays, personal trips, I got paid $150.
Dental expenses of $150.
Medical expenses are $700, and if I didnt use all $700 for my medical, at the end of the yr the balance will be banked into Medisave Account.
Additional $100 of laundry expense.

What's with the laundry expense? Well, it seems that this time I do not have a choice with wearing clothes, I need to put on uniforms >.<

All and All, its a Japanese chemical trading firm, I wonder if we need to perform morning stretching workout in the field before work start? O.O

And I gave a call to 大佬 after my successful acceptance.
And we promised to go AMK crab feast in the future. LOL~

After the get out from JI, my future colleague had a car, and i face thick thick ask him to send me to JP, and well, he's living nearby too.
In the future, maybe more trips? Saving the hassle to board transport at JE!

The trip back to JI was still amazing to my eyes.
And I rmb vividly my first trip in there, Im astounded by the oil tankers, refinery stations, and those complicate-looking gas and pipelines structure.
Till now, it still was.

My future is there.

But before that, the body checkup, consists of BLOOD TEST.
Which freaks me out horribly.
I hate needles, and I cant imagine the feeling of having fluids in my body to be drained out by the pump of the syringe.

OMG.
Buddha bless me please~

No Photos of Me

Well, I think people are not interested in HOW I look like, Im just a girl with chubby face, pouty upper lips, bush brows, not big not small eyes and a button nose.

Thus, i shall post WHAT I bought, use and eat :)

I shall invest more when I got a higher paycheck next mth XD

My current beauty stashes, to be adding more in the future. In love with Esprique Precious foundation, Maybelline Mineral Foundation Powder, Maybelline eye palette in pink and its Mascara. Using Snow balanced fluid as night moisturiser.









Food stacks from Marks and Spencers - Redcurrant Puff (most yummy but ex too), chocolate caramels and rich tea biscuits. Adding curry-flavoured scallops and duck's tongue from BB's papa in HK.








Had a "company lunch" @ TCC last 2 weeks ago, all said it was a treat from manager - JF - but actually, she claimed it from the company's entertainment expenses too, haha, so much for treating eh!

Me and Angeline ordered soup, salads, main course, platters, fruit soda and dessert. Don't waste the chance, we didnt even have annual dinner lor!

So much for being the 2nd largest shipping company in the world, with a (Agency) behind!




My dessert: some puff or mascaporone cheese which tasted like cream bulee. with strawberries too of course.












Main course was smoked salmon spaghetti with an egg. This was really yummy.











With all these concluded my recent buyings, most of them lar.

Continuing my bellowings, JF want me to move away from my current seat. And I was seriously like WTF you want?!!

I have only 3 more weeks away from my last day of notice, 3 weeks also dun let me sit nicely in my place. Honestly, I really wish you all the best, stay healthy and live long long.

风水轮流转,作人别太过分。

And you already pissed off alot of ppl already. Docs, IT, Accounts, Payroll uncle too, lol~

In a sense, its worse than SMK.

Otherwise Im gg to have 2 interviews coming up, in Logistics and Purchasing. Regardless, both sides pay higher with better prospects. I dun need you MSC to earn a living :)

And I gg to take MC on that day - Tuesday.

Say i chao keng lah, I dun care :P

What's Next

My last day in MSC will be officially 2nd Sept, woohoo~

And I expect my new job to start on either 6th Sept or the week after.

Been going for various interviews already, there's a few job offer even but what I wanted, is really difficult to catch.

And And And, it seems that Im quite fated with Japanese companies this time round, almost all interviews are Japanese firms!

There's one nice Japanese-based oil and gas firm in Jurong Island and I will be going for that interview next week, and just nice, its one of my customer when I used to work in KNS last year. Hope that they can call Dai Lou for character referee-ing lol~

Im surprised for myself, that i didnt even bother to hide what's currently happening in MSC, they would ask why did you leave?

Better prospects, and new manager is like Hitler.

And I seriously doubt that JF can tahan more than 1 year in MSC too, according to sources, there is no manager yet that can stay on that position for more than a year half! There's a big fking problem somewhere where all managers cant be bothered but to escape! And yes, previous manager SMK even quitted without a job.

It feels like escaping from disaster.

Anyway, none of my problem anymore and I decided to serve that one month happily and leave office at 6pm sharp.

After that i will start on my quizzes, assignments and projects. The lecturer for Managerial Economics was an ANG MOH and hell, his english is soooooo PRO that I couldn't understand what he said at all. Self-study is needed hence.

And I decided to go on with the slimming effort. I lost like almost 3-4kg during my period of stress x sickness x no appetite.

At first I was freaked out, the weight loss doesn't seem healthy at all but well, just continue.
Im still craving for good food, buffets and sweet pastries. But one "dosage" per day is actually very fulling for me now.

For example, Im such a big eater that when Im having lunch with my colleagues, I used to pick and eat their share too, regardless of greens or meats or even soup. Now I couldn't even finish that last piece of fish fillet and the fullness is till the throat.

My coming plans are:

1. Climb the stairs, train stamina and upped immunity to fever and bugs
2. Sewing Machine for dress-making course on October
3. New job = New Environment
4. Projects x 5

And seriously, do I look like im kidding to attend dress-making course? Cause alot have been asking me on that and they dun believe Im gg to!

Maybe I can open a stall and sew your clothes, sew your drop-out buttons, amend your sizes or even sew cosplay costumes~!

Oh yea, I needed food, buffet or steamboat, appointment me!

WTF

And my contributions, hard work, commitment all goes down the drain with a few simple lines of :

"Im the new boss, you need to prove AGAIN to me"
"Im the new boss, new working styles, you need to stick to my styles"
"Im the new boss, leave your work to the other temp personnel, DO MINE 1ST!"
"Please be professional in your work and attend work regularly"
"You are a genius, but the others are not the same as you."
"Please be patient when teaching and working"
"I cannot broke the rules or else others will follow"
"How are you? Are you feeling fine?"

Before I started again, a message to Dear Amanda Chew (my sec sch classmate btw):

A welcome to joining the big family of MSC. Honestly, I also dun understand why you choose to work for MSC for a measly pay (you shld get more!) and that day meeting you, rmb im stuck with my words when you asked "hows working here? is it good?" And I also dun rmb wtf I told ya. But Im gonna say now. Just rmb that, loyalty don't pay. You cant learn the whole accounting function here, AR isnt really AR. I advise you to find a new one after getting sick of this place.

Back to those lines as fore-mentioned.

SMK is a fking boss. JF is much worse.

She's decisive. She's got fashion. She's got guts.
But she's like a dictator too, Hitler's revived again :)

And that whole thing speeded up my process of tendering.

Before you came, I OT 3 times per week, I learnt all my work personally without fussing other people ard. That is what we call 自动。
Before you came, our team only comprises of 3 people and we are doing ABSOLUTELY FINE. No complains no backlogs no extra unnecessary work. And we needed NO TEMPS or EXTRA HANDS at all to do our team's work.
Before you came, I do my work with pride and motivation is there everyday for me to report to work. I love what Im doing and achieved a great sense of job satisfactory. Even when Im down with heavy flu I still come to work with a red clown nose.
Before you came, Im professional in my work and came to work EVERYDAY. I know how to resolve email and disputes not because Im a genius, but I use my BRAINS TO THINK and SOLVE.
Before you came, everyone else has no problems with my style of teaching people. I dun spoon-feed, I give hints. You need to have the basic urgency to learn work yourself. Are you 3 years old??
Before you came, Im so much healthier and can bitch around with my frens, sing KTV and go on shopping sprees.

And here are the changes after you came:

You, revolutionise all my working practices that people have passed down from ages ago of successful practices.
You, placed all your trust into E, come on, your OS list is I DO IT at least 70%, and somemore is I bring it HOME to do, even when Im sick like hell!
You, want to write down the SOP which nobody else will bother to write. Why the FUCK should I? Couldn't your new pets have the basic initiative to write it in their own notebook?
You, when Im sick like fuck, your pets harasses me with calls and sms everyday MC days. Why the FUCK wun they ask when Im in the fugly office?
You, hired a lot of ppl regardless of temps and perms and ask them to do backlogs backlogs, where the FUCK is the backlogs?
You, do you know that you have make those people who have worked like a cow for MSC for the past 2 years very very angry? After hiring so many newbies, do you think the old birds have more bonus next yr? The VB is divided!
You, like to talk nice and sweet-tonely. It irks me.

I, used to work like a cow for MSC.
Even when Im sick, I brought work home to do it for you, co you said its "urgent".
Even doing so, Im not appreciated for the work I've done even when I'm sick.
And I got sarcastic remarks of you saying im a "genius". Im not, and on comparison, your new pets are learning slower coz they dun have the initiative.

New manager, new styles, new staffs, new times.

If you happen to see this, Ms Jacelyn Fooh, 做人不要太过分,风水轮流转。戴眼要会看人。

Or maybe you know all along what happen but you choose your new pets maybe they looked cuter.

Anyways, 我上了贼船!

当作被狗咬啦!

Can my parents, especially my mama, stop scrutinizing me if Im not working?

She does that every single time.

Im tired, can I don't work, turn away all the offers.

Im lazy, can anot?

Recent

1. Been Playing League of Legends with BB Tay and Bros, Chong and Mr Lee, kicked Maple to one side.


















In short its a game like DotA, but it has unique features like the match-making system and levelling XP and IP system. Every game played will earn the player XP (used to gain level) and IP (used to buying champions - DotA called it heroes). Unlike Dota where you can choose -Allpick, LoL rotates a certain group of champs every few weeks, and if you love certain champs, like my favorite Captain Teemo (the badger)















Specialty: high dps and running speed and stealth skill ( good for ppl who like to run away fast and hide )

Most importantly is that its the cutest champs in LoL.

2. School started with Contract & Agency Law, Managerial Econs, Financial Planning and Ucores, every monday wednesday saturday. Cannot feel the stress of schooling as yet but as always, it came at the last few days of assignment submission.

3. Sickly. Made me lose my appetite for chillied-food, but I still love to eat french fries :)

4. Tendered. My position in Finance Dept. A hard decision to make but I feel much much better.

5. Looking for jobs. Offers, interviews and many more. But I might still end up in the same company, in a different dept. I can still be with my friends!

6. Applying for Bukit Panjang BTO 5-room. I need this flat, this house.

7. Going for dress-making and sewing course in October. $550 for the course, $150 for the materials and an investment of $200 in a nice sewing machine. Im serious to learn.

8. Exercise. I will start a exercise routine after confirming my new job. I need to live longer and healthier :)

9. I will be happier! No more grumpy!
