Apply.. Cancel...Apply... Cancel...

WTF sia.... I am really so tired at work man. Need to do so many things... quotations, deliveries, project management, tender interviews, sample boards and what have you.... Sometimes I am just so busy at work that time seems to fly so fast. 0830am reach office.... 10am plus go la kopi at 6th floor.. then its work your ass away all the way liao.... Therefore late lunch or no lunch seems to be a norm in my Mondays to Fridays work schedule... And guess what.. when people seems to be relaxing on their Fridays.... I seem to be even busier than Mondays... Dun know why.. I have noticed this pattern for the past few weeks... and I dun think is bcoz my work piles up.. but is bcoz unexpected stuff just comes in and you need to settle them. I am quite efficient actually ok.... make no mistake about it.... Actually... I like to be busy at work.. keeps me occupied and productive... no time for other worries....

ya right.... why apply cancel apply cancel?? almost a month ago... I purposely took two days leave on Monday and Tuesday to rest and enjoy my long week end.. Guess what ... Consultant call me on Wednesday to collect tender documents for Lucky Tower.. I have just finished my tender quote for Copthorne Orchid Condo... and thought of resting... suddenly Lucky Tower pop out from no where... ok lor.. bo pian... its either I loose this project or I enjoy my long weekend.... so no choice... better take up this project.... so long weekends gone....

Finally managed to complete these 2 tender quotes and submit them on time... Went for Copthorne Tender interview last last Friday at CDL office... ended almost 7pm.... damn it... ppl enjoying their weekend liao and i just left CDL office.. Ok never mind ya... its ok.. work ma.. bo pian...

Finally come this week... Monday blue... so I told myself I am gonna take my 2 days leave this thurs and friday... finally i apply again.. waiting for my manager to approve... yup.. I inform my manager about that application and she understood that i wanted a rest... then come about 1152am... I was handed a fax document dated 14th May 2010 from this consultant.... inside stated "Pls submit your tender clarification together with your sample boards by 17th May 2010 before 12 noon to Ms XXXX "... I tell you... i almost peng san..... What?????? That leaves me only 7 mins to build a sample board... do up my tender clarification and travel to CDL office.... I tell you i almost peng san on my table.. for a minute or so.. i was totally lost..totally stupefied and dumbfounded... my mind just practically went blank bcoz i also dun know what to do and what my manager's reaction will be if she knows this.....

So again.. bo pian lor.... call and beg consultant... Consultant very nice also.. ask me to call CDL project manager to plead for more grace.... Thank God.. today... everyone seems nice... managed to submit my sample board and clarification to their office. But then again.. I was told that the tender interview for this Lucky Tower is on wednesday 10am... Sian liao.. need to cancel my Thurs and Fri leave that i just applied in the morning.. bcoz sure got follow ups and submision to do the next day after Wed's tender interview.... really very knn one... its like a curse....

Haiz... with my leave cancellation again.. i dun know when I can apply for leave again... So busy busy at work such that taking leave to enjoy seems so hard.. want to take MC or urgent leave also need to think what I have to do that day... Well..my birthday is just round the corner in June... so I guess that will be when i am gonna take my well deserved rest.... Yes, rest i need... Yes rest...

Workload on my side is expected to pile up even more over the next few months I suppose... I hope my management will show mercy by employing one more sales guy to help us out... In fact... in my team.. i am the only one that knows about Merten Switches liao.. the others still very unfamiliar and its going to take a few months or even 1 yr plus provided they put some heart in learning Merten switches.... From now till then... I will have to handle or help out most of the Merten enquiries.. really not easy....

The thing that i am most glad is that even my manager had already recognised the fact that I am very very tied up in my schedule already.. compared to those initial days when i just entered Schneider as a newbie... helping my seniors do delivery, sample boards and other errands... haiz... well.. in fact.. it is through all these errands that i picked up quite an amount of knowledge in Clipsal and especially Merten switches.... Those days were quite hectic but essential for my learning experience...

Sian.. today only Monday nia... still got 4 more days to go before another weekend sets...

May the good Lord grant me grace and strength to see me through this torturous week in office....

Ok.. goto finish my snicker bars before i go sleep..nite snack....

Ciao.....

Giant Tablets

Hello there... How are you people? Long time no hear from me... my hibernation period has been quite a while since I last blog.. haha...

Behold our motherland's most recent achievement at Marina Bay.... The Marina Bay Sands.... Indeed these 3 hotel towers at Marina Bay is a magnificent sight to behold... Grand and magnificent in splendour.. I took the opportunity today to leisurely drive pass Bayfront Avenue and that was where i took this photo with my E71 Nokia... I wun say its a very nice shot bcoz its being clipped away at the bottom and the top... But I have no choice bcoz I was just almost below the 3 giant towers lor.... Want to zoom out also cannot liao.... haha... But its really nice.

Even thought the construction is not fully completed yet with only the hotel, casino and a part of the shopping mall opened... the area is already filled with so many people walking to and from the Bayfront Bridge... The recently opened (Helix Bridge) linking Marina Square area to Marina Bay Sands.... In fact.. I have been observing the construction of the MBS everytime I drove along ECP Benjamin Sheares Bridge.. From the initial days where there were so many crawler cranes preparing the site foundation.. followed by the erection of the numerous tower cranes and finally with the 3 hotel towers creeping up slowly in the sky.. level by level.. then finally the construction of the Sky Garden at the top linking the 3 towers together... hmmmmm... construction has never been easy i suppose... I believe that at the time of her construction, it could be the only site in Singapore that is working 24/7... unbelievable.. and finally it has taken shape after so much hard work... in my humble opinion... i think the 3 majestic hotel towers represents the pride of Marina Bay area... haha..

Recently i went to watch IP Man 2... damn nice sia... Yong Chun Quan... This is the first time i heard of this kungfu and i am really amazed by its technique... Its actually a close combat kungfu.. I think many Singaporeans has already watch this movie by now.... So I went to buy Part one of Ip Man to watch.. wow.. splendid.. the fighting is really great.... You can defend and yet be offensive... I know of a place in Singapore where they teach Yong Chun Quan... at 95A Lavender Street.. hmmmmm.. should I go take up and learn.... Maybe given my size.. i think I should sign up and pick up the skill also.... well.. not to beat up people that I dun like.. but rather to keep in good health and shape.. however.... I can still beat up people i dislike should they really really step on my fat tail... wahahaha.... but I guess thats the last thing i wanna do la.... bcoz i am quite soft hearted one.... just like Ip Man.. haha...

I saw an interview at Youtube... its an interview with Ip Chun... I forgot already but I think he is the eldest son of Ip Man... He was saying " If people take up Yong Chun Quan thinking that they can take on 9 or 10 people at one time.. then I guess... Yong Chun Quan will not be pass on for generations.. but if people take up this Kungfu to keep healthy and fit.. then there is a long future for Yong Chun Quan..." Well.. I think what he says is very true... Violence is never a solution.. Indeed chinese kungfu.. even though powerful but they are never used for violence.. I believe all great kungfu master or Sifu knows this well......

Anyway... i really wanna take up and learn.. i think its very interesting to see them sparring with Wooden dummies.... the technique used is really very unique... haha....

ok.. got to go ... blogging soon again.. but lets see what my next topic will be... haha...

Ciao for now....
