a lot of things to say for today. in fact, from the time i wake up, i feel it's gonna b a gd day. i wana blog tat, but morning, i decided not to blog. a sudden feeling.

got to work as normal. den, when i got chance when oni the guy, n jnr colleague in office, i asked the guy if wanna lunch later on. ok, he's going off, wun b back for lunch. ok. den, i decided to try the snr. snr is bit bz, but i still asked wat time she going lunch. she say after all users attnded, will go. ok. den, when she done liao, n back in ofice, wif 1 fat sup, n her n mi, i asked if she wanna wait for mi go lunch. i decided this will b the better approach: wat time u going for lunch? wanna wait for mi go? rather than "wanna lunch wif mi?". she say ok. ahha, i was kinda happy inside mi :)

den later, our lunch time came. i heard her call someone, telling her not ready yet. later jnr colleague asked why i not lunch yet. i told her i waiting for snr. den snr said "wait a while more". i was happy haha. she was almost standing up for mi, telling tat i got lunch appt wif her liao haha.. ok i have to admit i not good at handling such PR things lah. so, such simple thigns i kinda happy. u know, abt 11am, i ask someone from the tech dept, if they wanna go lunch. but they wanna go those ex place. n it's wif their own dept ppl. i thot, it's dept ppl, not jus 1 or 2 guys. if i join them, but not my own team, will be so sia suay n cause gossips to fly. so i decided to try my luck to ask my colelague. phew, my efforts paid off!!

but i thot, we gonna find someone first. i din expect, oni we 2 lunch oni! haha, do i sound like i'm courting her?? LOL. tok to her quite a lot of things. including my family problem - mi n bro stuff, moving out, studies, etc. i dun mind letting her know. at least to show i'm ready to chat, open abt mi, n can have topics to chat. n gossiped wif her abt the fat sup.

ok, here comes the politics. the lunch politics is small, kiddy issue. now come the big 1. n i learn abt staff mgmt here. colelagues are all unhappy tat he keep sending emails here n there, mkaing everything FORMAL. i qutie ok wif it. cos he wan documentary proof, everythign black n white. but 1 case, which i ask the user to come down, he questioned mi whether i know how to do it anot. i say yes, den he say i can actually do it over ph. "ok" i say. later i check wif jnr n snr. they both say (snr more power of cos) shld ask user come down. but since fat sup say so, let it b.

n wat's more, snr coleague has been doing so much thigns, but fat sup jsu sitting behind, dunno wat's hapepning like tat. even the latest ver of our prog he oso dunno. kauz. got 1 issue, he emailed to the boss (dept sup), my colleague all complained tat he shld not do tat. cos, he can jus say it out n discuss. he even suggested, snr forego all her timeoff privileges since she so busy everyday for discussion. yes, i agree tat snr may b purposely dun wan stay back. but he shld jus discuss timing wif her.

now, he send the email out, i oso advise snr 2 things: 1) if u think u have the reason, fight/talk back. 2) since u cant stop him from sending email, join him. shoot him back. my snr den, together wif 2 other staff, sat at her desk to draft n send out the mail. fat sup replied. know wat? he say "i prefer face-face tok. cos emails r lilel;y to cause confusion." kauzz. he's the one who started off writing those mails.

n during lunch, i told snr tat, i rmb i did the steps correct, n evenc hecked the files. i was hoping to hint to her, i think temp guy got something up his sleeves. but she say (b4 i can hint) the file may b in other ppl's folder, eg "all users". n while we drafting the mail, we were gossiping mah. den fat sup came into office, he walked to his desk in a hussle. for mi, i at first ok wif his styel of working. but gradually, i find it odd too. ok ,when i get a prob, i ask him how to resolve. not sure if he know the problem, but my guess is "NO".

cos, i got a prob, i asked him, he say "can u try to solve it urself b4 asking mi?" haha, den i found the problem n he say "good". but later, still cant proceed. he ask mi immediately ask the program owner. i say i prefer asking snr, as it's my process. he ok. snr say need a certain file. haha, i reallt think, without us, he's gonna b VELI busy asking program owners this n tat.

den on way home, i find it quite qiao, for 2 str8 days, my boi took bus to my office, but everytime he get there, i oredi on my bus liao. but hor, haha, something happened on tuesday which i muz blog. he was asking how i find his txtmt to mi. he ask "do i ever have an issue wif my ex abt food?" den i asked him back "but in the first place, do i ever have a bf who care so much abt mi regarding food, whether i had enuff, n whether it suits mi?" haha, ok, i know ti's hard to get the joke, but the parties involved know n understand LOL. if u wna, u cna ask mi, i'll elaborate :) n his reaction was quite funny. cos the topic/context changed from how avg his txtmt of mi was, to how good he is to mi actualyl. he immediatley got flustered. and guess wat, on the bus on way home on tues, (if i rmb clearly) i giggled when i think of this. even this morning, on way to work, i thot of his reaction, i oso giggled. until i had to pretend i was coughing to avoid paiseh-ness. even today evening, i oso kena it. wah liao, cannot tahan!

oh ya, the temp guy, his PR skilsl quite good i muz say. he got the jnr n young lady hooked up to him. inviting them to his bday party at chinablack. he gonna b here till july. he say dunno whether to renew anot. i think he shld not. well, he did offer some suggestions n improvement to the system. cos he's outspoken, n he working 3 mths. not jus 1.

i got to family for dinner. not tat tasty, but i made myself full by drinking soft drink n takign some bread. wah, channel u showignt he superstar auditions!!! i dare not watch!!!! i scared i paiseh to see myself on screen!!! but i think mine was skipped. cos i saw the guy in my group win den skipped to other scenes.

haha,i think this shld b all for tonight... my boi din blog tonight, i guess i'll reply hs comments?
