conversion
my team knew abt my conversion tdy n were even happier than me.. muz b cos got free treat.. haa.
went to find the hr guy tgt wif the other guy whos converting oso.. made some small toke.. somehow he seems less obnoxious than he looks after toking.. haa. he asked me whether im from sgp or china.. i said sgp.. den i said a lot of ppl tout im from china.. he said cos im too quiet.. hardly c sgp ppl so quiet b4.. -____-.. den he oso wondered when we will b moving to our cubes n whether there will b space for us to sit or not.. my colleague said i can sit together wif this guy since we r converting together.. -___-..
found the guy n went to the meeting room.. we sat together while the hr guy sat opposite us with the contracts on the table.. somehow this scenario looks as though we r going to the lawyer to sign divorce papers.. haha. watch too much tv liao. den he blahblahblah go thru each stack of papers n say wat we need to fill in.. when he reach the marital status field he suddenly looked up from the paper n asked both of us "married? married?".. i was stunned n almost answered yes. opps..

crap toke
been busy wif work this wk.. feel so sian.. nt oni wif the work but oso wif the knowledge of ofc mgmt stuffs.. seems like the mgmt ppl r realli gd at toking crap
the first crap i heard was the MD telling the perm staff during a presentation tat promotion is nt based on work performance.. seems to hint tat promotion is based on luck n curry favour.. some ppl say theres no pt working hard liao
the second crap was from POC.. she is nt called POC for nothing.. arrow me some sai kang work but din bother to tell me theres no need to do it animore until the status meeting.. luckily i din put in much effort oso.. cos theres no pt working hard! haa. this is the most practical n useful advice i've heard.. goes to show tat theres no pt working fast oso.. y rush into the work when we can wait for a few days for more updates n den the work automatically gets reassigned to other ppl? its nt the first time oredi.. they nvr bother to get the facts rite n anihow arrow ppl.. after which they will reassign to other ppl
big boss oso come n toke to us.. show us stats showing tat co is making money.. so wat.. the ofc is nt getting expanded soon.. n the money earned is nt coming back to us as bonuses or salary increment..
my manager advised me to b more visible so that i can convert to perm easier.. another guy who i think is nt v visible n joined in 2 mths later than me is getting converted to perm together wif me.. sux. they better give us 2 cubes at the same time or none at all.. wait oni 1 cube available.. who gets it first?

random thoughts
went to my fren's new house for housewarming party.. but oni show face for like 2 hrs den left liao cos my fren got something on.. seems quite "extra" going for the party since it was a mini class gathering n oni the usual group of ppl were invited.. mi n my fren were not part of the group so its quite awkward.. more like trying to make small toke there.. getting asked by them abt wat im working, where im working, how i find the job etc..
one of them working as a software engr asked me y i chose software engr cos he found the job quite monotonous.. i duno if its oni mi who thinks the job is ok? seems like the rest all think its boring.. mayb the nature of the job is similar to my nature.. haa. or mayb cos i can still afford to slack every now n den.. even my colleagues oso complain tat the work we r doing now dun offer much learning opportunities.. i think im nt tat career-minded.. no learning opportunities? as long as money is ok n work nt tat tedious den everything ok.. v short-sighted like my eyes
another fren asked me this morn if i have a lot of close frens.. definitely v few.. but frens dun need to have a lot.. as long as can click n when u feel like toking theres always someone to toke to den its ok.. quality matters more than quantity.. as we grow older n older frens start to disappear.. the remaining ones r the ones who can withstand the passing of time n get better n closer wif time

finally.. tmr's public holiday! happi nt realli cos its ndp.. but cos its hols.. haa. finally got a chance to slack at home.. last wk was crazy.. made me so pissed.. wat wif the super mega arrow from the POC, the wkend support, the jap exam, n the planning for genting trip.. ani one of them is enuff to make me sian.. 4 of them tgt? bomb.. want to suay den suay till the end one.. at least 3 of them is over.. jap exam was quite easy.. wkend support was mainly "parking" online in IM.. n the planning for genting trip? think most likely degrade to one day johor bahru trip cos of tat mafan zhu.. so now oni left wif the super mega arrow..
tat POC wants me to take up some sai kang job but pretended to ask me whether im ok taking it up.. my team lead ask her to find someone else.. she say this work needs experienced ppl to do n she thinks im the rite person.. *puke*.. 9 mths of work = experienced?? i think her "rite" person either means someone who can b a scapegoat or is too free at the moment.. bochup her.. nothing much i can do at the moment aniway
public holidays getting v rare n impt since there r no more sch hols liao.. sigh.. the nxt holidays will b in oct.. again 1 mth of work without break..
