Office musing…
Week 4
Ah boss asked me today while ah Head & ah chief were on their way 2 join us 4 the meeting, “so, how r things so far? Do u know what we r doing rite now? ” I nodded my head and replied, “Yup! Aft HD, I’m on my way 2 find out more about ITEX & Archidex.” “how long hv u been working here ar?” “almost a month liao loh!” “ah?! So fast 1 month liao?” I nodded again while getting ready 2 present the info I’ve compiled and analysed from the clients. Its been crazy this week, different deadlines coming up, really hv 2 learn how 2 multi-task while dealing wiv diff ppl/exhibitions. And, I hope the hectic schedule will remain the same way 4 the entire year. So fast, it’s Friday already. And what ah boss told everybd b4 I get into the meeting still ring in my mind while I was heading home, “I got news that BN is gonna hold a demonstration in Png!”
Week 3
It was basically getting more and more task on my shoulder. Cases were thrown over 2 me when it comes. Ah boss will suddenly ask me 2 join the designing buntings, billboard and ads meeting. Later, ah chief will get me 2 brainstorm on the theme 4 the mock up display. Then ah head will discuss with me 2 brush up the last minute press release for some media partners. Later, on Friday, its company dinner! And, mama san warned me 2 wear decently. And I passed her benchmark that day while gaining a big praise “wei!! Somebd really how 2 take care of her looks these days ar! Getting more attractive day by day” well, I didn’t buy any clothes, shoes or bags. I just put down the bun of hair, tried 2 walk slower and make sure ppl hear my msg. hoho… the food was good! And I had a good laugh the entire nite. But I didn’t join the rest in the pub later where ah boss gave a threat on white wine. Too trd and a little worried. Cos the next day is the general election.
Week 2
everybd was bz 4 the Thursday evening reception nite at KLCC. And of cos, getting excited of the theme, which is black. Well, I had a hard time as I was running out of black clothes (it’s mom’s fault who hardly say yes 2 black colour!). I learnt and met a few ppl that my superior, mei mei claimed r important 2 the A & P department, basically the senior level ppl from the press. Aft hving a few round of chats and sneaking aside 2 get the hot dumplings soup, I felt I just can’t stand anymore, either the cold air-cond or the business manner of the exhibitors. So, I sneaked out of hall 5. ah yap, the photographer was there, and other colleagues who were guarding the paper bags and media table. It was tiring that nite. Ah boss gave a treat 2 a steamboat house aft the function was over. i slept hving a lot of things in my mind.
Week 1
Basically, I tried 2 fit in the group. And surprisingly, it wasn’t really that hard. I don’t hv 2 put on make up. I can wear jeans on Fri & Sat. everybd from diff departments hv lunch together in restaurants, or take away food and eat at the conference room. We will fight for the newspapers, while gossiping bout anything from Edison chen’s scandal to election & pap smear. but there’s these few comments I received from the colleagues, especially Mama san. To b frank, its always the SAME old thing ppl say about me wenever I get 2 a new place: the speed of the way I talk, my hair and the panic I created. Yet, this time, I decided 2 learn & 2 change in a way that I feel comfortable.
