Rainbow after Rain

Lately the Project Manager from my client company (the huge Australia job that I am working on), was fired.

This news came in a sudden. It was announced on Monday and Wednesday he was gone. I didnt know what was the actual reason for him to leave. I guessed is his attitude that brought him to this. He is a hot temper man and full of vulgarities in every statements that he made.

Since the day the news reak out, our life and work pace got better. My team is no longer working like in a war during the day time nor do we have to stay over nights (still have to stay late at work). Now we are wrapping up most of our part and filling in the gaps, hopefully this job will be done before Christmas and let us have a peaceful white Christmas.

After taking up this job, I have lost weight and became really tired/stressed all the time. Stressed over the consistent demands from client and the lack of helps in work. In additional to these, there is great responsibility for me to this job and also my role in my department. I believe that after completing this job, my experience will be far better than other young graduates in my company. I will also have better engineer skill in design/managing/ drafting/ communication. In fact, I will be more extrovert when I am working.

Things seem better now... Rainbow is not too far for us

My Horror Job

I wish that this project will end soon...

In July, I took up a huge job in Australia. Now this job is draining us out very badly. We have been staying up late in office and even over night to get work done. In the day, client will keep calling to demand to work when they only allow us a 1 or 2 hours to complete.

The most annoying thing, client still have not finalist on the architectural plan and they expect us to submit all drawings and engineering part. In additional, they keep changing their mind on what they want and being very unreasonable demanding.

This job has been hunting me for months and because of this, we skipped meals and didnt sleep well. We have been staying over nights in office to get work done too. Our life is stuck in the office...

Lord end this job soon...

Unpleasant Experience

Lately have being rather busy with my work so I was so tired to do anything.

I went back to Singapore 2 weekend ago and had a bad experience at custom. When I came down from the escalator, the custom officers are starring at me. When I reach a counter, the custom officer asked her head officer "Is she the one?" and the head officer said "No". Then the custom officer tried to find fault on my VISA name and insist that I change my VISA name at once before they will chop of passport. So I said OK~! While waiting for my passport to be chop, 2 immigration officers was standing beside me. Suddenly I heard the lady immigration officer said "bloody Chinese..." I turn around and feel so pissed off. Being a immigration officer, you should watch what your say especially at the custom as they are always the 1st Australian that leave the impression for others.

When I went to pick up my luggages, the head officer came to me again and asked what do I have in my luggages. I said "biscuit and mooncakes" so I was asked to go to a side to be checked. My 1st time being check so thoroughly. They cut every single of my mooncake and took out all my stuff from my luggage and even x-ray my empty boxes. After that she thank me for my time and I left.

I didnt have a pleasant experience. I dont mind to be check but I cant agreed with the lady immigration officer who said "bloody Chinese..."

I hope that they be more careful when then say something like this cause this can be rather serious.

Horrible Day

I felt so horrible at work today.

I was scolded and blamed by the Drafting Manager from the main company. He said that I shouldn’t have asked the main company call/ make contact with the client in regards to a job and that pisses the client off.

Firstly, this is not my company job but the main company job. I just make recommendation to my client that the main company has such service. As usual, I will ask someone from the main company to keep in contact with the client to get the job done.

Secondly, the client was anger cause people from the main company keep calling him and not me ( I have not call them yet). This shows that main company has no system and not us. In additional, this client didn’t really have good impression with the main company due to the lack of efficient.

Thirdly, my company is so busy at this moment and the DM insisted me to be the point of contact between the client and the main company.

Forthly, I have no idea what have do the main company need to do the design or what have they had asked the client. The DM just said, I should have check through what the client want and the job before referring to the main company.

Fifth, I have asked the client will he be glad that the main company contact him directly in regards to what he need. He was rather happy with this decision.

Sixth, Main company is not busy at all now.

This is freaking me out. Since I was been blamed and asked to be the point of contact, I spend 1 hour being scolded and ran around to get the information from various people who had possibility make contact with this client. This is wasting my time…

Why cant the main company that this job in as theirs rather than contact point from another company.

Lost Weight AGAIN

I dont understand why do I keep losing weight.

I weighted myself this morning and realised that I lost another 2-3 kg again. I just skipped my dinner last night and I lost 2-3kg and this is amazing fast. I have been losing weight ever since I moved out of college haha... I was 47kg when I was in college but now 40kg or even 38kg at time.

Maybe I am stress so no matter what I eat, will not help me to maintain my weight. Hopefully after this stressful period at work, it will be alright.

Need to do something, this is crazy....


Another Shoes

Recent return to Singapore, I bought another pair of shoes to add on to my collection. It is blue with lots of graphical on it. I have been wanting to get it since the previous trip to Singapore when I bought the pink shoes.

It is comfortable and I like it.
