Christmas gifts from colleagues.
With all the Christmas parties plus Cheryl's birthday dinner on 27th, I must say that I have gained quite a few pounds. I dread looking at the weighing scale now. Yes, I need to exercise. And SOON, without further procrastination!
Tomorrow is New Year Eve. Times flies and it's gonna be 2006 in two more days. Got to make some new year resolutions. But meanwhile, trying to come to a decision on some impeding thoughts. Should I...
Continue with Salsa?
Pick up Bellydancing?
Continue with Japanese & take JLPT3 in 2006?
I know I don't have a lot of time at hand and with this new job, I can't choose all options. Really not sure which to pick. I definitely have to give up at least one. Feel like continuing with Jap again but it will also mean additional STRESS for me with the weekly homework and tests. What a dilemma.

Unfortunately, handing over was a rush as the new girl who was supposed to take over me decided to quit. Probably too tough as she is very young. I must say I was indeed surprised that HR actually employed a 19 year-old girl to take over my duties. No offence but she is definitely not matured enough to handle sales or business development at corporate level. Heard that she was hired the day I tendered my resignation though she was supposed to be interviewed for a retail position. Perhaps HR is desperate for someone to take over me but this is real unprofessionalism and inexperience to just hire anyone. Oh well, welcome to HR of BiG by Safe!
Anyway, I was literally scurrying around to settle things and to hand over properly. The last thing I want is for people in this company to lay blame and complain that I have not handed over my work well. Even if I wanna leave, I wanna leave with a clean and good reputation. As usual, my dear colleagues were so sweet and treated me to lunch at Orange Lantern Vietnamese Restaurant. Love the Imperial Roll and Avocado Juice there. Yummy! Took lotsa pictures and will be sharing more soon.
Wonderful Colleagues plus Lunch Kakis.

Clearing my desk was not too much of a hassle as I had done most of the clearance on Tuesday when Willy came and picked me up. HR requested for me to hand over my Staff Pass and Medical Card which I obliged. But not before I took a snap of the pass that I have been holding on all these months.
BiG by Safe staff pass and key to 11th storey Ladies.
Yes, we need separate key when using the Ladies.
This is because someone has complained of Peeping Tom!
Leaving only my monitor, CPU and telephone after clearing my desk.
Will certainly miss having an LCD monitor at work!
There was a tinge of sadness when I stepped out of the familiar pantry and out of office. Afterall, there has been so much battle here and I have learnt so much, namely how to protect myself and also to ignore office politics. What I will miss most will be some colleagues here. They are the ones who make a difference though some management's decisions do disappoint me at time. Thanks so much for the memories dearest colleagues.

Sally is wonderful direct superior and also a mentor to me.
She is what makes staying on in Safe worthwhile.

Well, memories will always stay sweet and tomorrow is a new day at a new environment. Kinda looking forward to my new job tomorrow. Got to go into dreamland now. Meanwhile, goodbye Safe...

I mentioned before that I did not want to leave the company in the past cos I had a great team of colleagues whom I worked with and also a very understanding Senior Manager who is like a mentor to me. Unfortunately, due to some restructuring in the company, I switched department to do business development for tourism. Business development is fine but I am not exactly interested in tourism and I felt a little uncomfortable with my new boss. She is our Senior Manager in Marketing & Communications and very
Mr HR: Boss (referring to my Managing Director) is very pissed off cos you have been taking many days MC so you better be careful.
Me: I have not been very healthy since I joined this company but I have been taking supplements to boost my immune system.
Mr HR: That's not the point Jane. The management does not think you should be taking so many days MC in any case. Moreover, your MC days always fall on the day after a weekend or public holiday or after your Annual Leave. Muiling (my new boss) and me have been observing. You usually take MC on Tuesdays.
Now, I was really pissed off.Stupid Black Indian Asshole!First, I just joined Marketing department for less than 2 weeks so how can Muiling observe that about me? And most importantly, who in the right mind will go plan which day he/she wanna fall sick, so how would I know that I always happen to fall sick on which day and there is a pattern? This is total madness.
Me: I really don't know about that and I don't control which day I want to fall sick.
Mr HR: The management does not think so. You better be careful. The next time you are going to take MC, Boss will surely blow up so you better watch out.
I nodded my head and left his table.
Oh yah, did I mention that he is Indian Nationale (and no I am not racist) and have been in Singapore for less than a year. Before he joined us, our Managing Director mentioned that we gonna be having a very experienced Senior Manager in HR joining us. Perhaps this is what they call experienced. I was disgusted. There had been other incidents and occasions during his stint in this company which had reflected how
But excuse me, I am Chinese. A Singaporean Chinese.

Anyway, we went to Anatolia Turkish Restaurant at Far East Plaza. Recommended by Val, it was hidden at a corner and served pretty nice food at reasonable prices.
Anatolia Turkish Restaurant
14 Scotts Road #02-58/59
FAR EAST PLAZA Singapore 228213
Tel : 68363352
Francis ordered the set meal. Salad, Beef Doner and a canned drink. Val and Qiumei shared the Chicken Doner Pancake, The Sutlac, a Turkish rice pudding and Salad. They each had a canned drink. Willy joined us soon after and we two shared a set meal (Salad, Chicken Doner and a canned drink) and a pizza (forgot the Turkish name). Think the salad is really worth it. At $3 per plate, you can take anything from the Salad Bar, which has varieties like Pasta Salad, Chicken Salad, American Salad and all other sauces. Really yummy! The Doner Pancake is good too and I think the chicken one is better than the beef. The Sutlac is kinda sweet and very filling. Well, afterall it's rice so kinda expected. The pizza is good too but rather salty. I kept gluping my drink.
After the meal, Qiumei, Val and Francis had the traditional Turkish 'tricky' ice cream. Qiumei actually got her ice cream free and Val insisted that it was because she flirted with the French server. Kinda funny. Willy and myself were too full to have any desserts. We then went shopping at Far East Plaza. A very pleasant gathering and think I will see them for Salsa soon!
Val, Qiumei and me.
My dearest friends from secondary school.
Salsa mates united!
But hmm, Francis will only dance with his girlfriend and neglect us all!
Taking picture with our French ice cream server.
Willy and Francis look so small behind us girls.
Qiumei so enthusiastic to the Frenchman who gave her free ice cream!
