Bag was stolen :(

Today went swimming with the 2 kids and my mil. After that, we went sakae sushi for lunch. Hubby met us there... After lunch, we went Cold S for supermarketing.
As usual, the lazy me will put my bag in the trolley. My bulk swimming bag was placed in the trolley. Got to admit that there were times where we didn't have direct vision to the trolley. At one pt in time, rachel even complained she was cold. I even took out her sweater for her. *maybe thats when the thief noticed?*
Upon making payment, I realised that my whole bag was gone! My wallet, HP, house keys were all inside! Everything was gone! I know that it is my mistake. I'm careless. This is the 1st time it happened even though I've done it so many times! Unlucky me :(
Immediately I reported to the office and my hubby called the police, so that they can come and request the office to view the CCTV.
The person didn't switch off my HP. THe phone jus kept ringing. Only once the phone was cut off. ANyway, I've terminated all the cards and suspended my phoneline. All the trouble are still FINE... But the precious numbers in my SIM card!!! I'm so sad. And my IC. Got so spend $$$ to make new one. Maybe it is heaven's will. Jus happened that few months ago I've changed my chinese name. Thought that I got to wait till 30 yrs to change my IC for a subsidised rate. So now... no choice...
And my HP! My frens would know that i luv this phone very much! Now I'm too broke to get a new phone :( ANyone cares to sponsor? hahaha...
The police report indicate the in-charge. A familiar dialect name. He is my poly classmate! Hahaha... I knew that he is in my area, but really coincident lah... Haha.... Few yrs back when something happened in my house, one of the police officers is my lecturemate! heehee...
Anyway, I've buy 4D in whatever relevant numbers... Hahaha.... You all know what I'm thinking right? *wink*

Recently???

Recently had lunch with our ex-team lead T and was "complaining" to her abt the current teamates as well as S's certain teamates ... T then say that only now we understand her position that time. But we both agreed that there isn't such problems in our team last time, so, her job was still easier! hahaha ... Nevertheless, she fully understands...
I told her abt OUR suggestion to volunteer to work as a team again and she as the Team lead again... She refused! hahaha...
Recently had an exchange of emails with one of the ex-consultant and he was complaining abt his current users and this is one of the phrase he mentioned: "not like you guys, so dedicated to your work..." *proud*
Recently another consultant G came to our office. He is still working here, but doing difft things now... He asked S and me for "feedback" on the overall pple and work from his company ... For eg. which consultant is no good, who is good, etc. Can say him also lah... Then i say to him "I prefer you as a fren rather than consultant". He is loss for words... hahaha.... So bad of me right? Then he explained that sometimes when under stress, blah blah blah.
Then csh and I name others which we find good in his company. Squeezed our brains and managed to list out 3 persons... jasmin, mathew and samuel. But suddenly rem that i left out Daniel! Hahaha...

Swimming alone...

Last Sat Zyon has to go back to school for his school's "Innovation Day". Opposite his school is Safra. So, I decided to be "healthy" and plan to go swimming @ Safra while waiting for his school to end the event.
Too bad hubby needs to work and can't go with me. This is my 1st time swimming alone! omg! Remember those days where i will go swimming with Mian or Wei. heehee, those are simply wonderful and carefree days!
Anyway, hubby and I had breakfast first. After that, he asked me whether I'm sure I want to go? Actually I was tempted to ask him to drive me back home to watch my korean dramas! Haha... But luckily I didn't. Saturday morning Safra was quite empty. I didn't go to the deep pool. Didn't dare to go alone lah. Heehee. I went to the "medium" pool cum jaccuzi pool. Took my time to swim, to enjoy the jaccuzi and I nearly fell asleep when the sun shines on me! Haha... I spent abt 1.5hrs there. The only thing which I don't like are the guys who like to lie on the pathways of the swimming pool to suntan! They are so inconsiderate! For a moment, I thought didnt have "space" to walk to the shower room!
After that, I felt so relax. Really, to stop and rest & relax so as to go on further...

Sad Day ...

Last evening I called my mgr but she didn't pick up the phone. I guessed she must be busy, so, I sent an email to her. THis morning she also didn't reply to my email. Hence, I called her. She told me that she will call me back. After abt 20 minutes, she called me over to her place. Weird... that email doesnt require me to meet her face-to-face to discuss... Nevertheless, I went over. When I was there, she asked me to sit down! Even more weird... that email doesnt require me to sit down to discuss with her... Nevertheless, I sat down...
M: I didn't reply your email cos I need some "direction". *pause*... I'm leaving the Branch...
Me: *blank look cos her words didn't register in my brains*...
M: You knew it already?
Me: No! I don't know anything!
M and I then proceed to discuss abt the emails and she started to "summarise" PF matters... Towards the end, I cannot take it... So I asked her...
Me: Where are you going?
M: XX Branch, wef 16 Apr...
Me: "WHY?"*eyes tearing* *slience*
M: *eyes tearing* *slience*
After a few seconds...
M: yeah, the memories...
Me: *eyes tearing* *slience*... struggled to say "All the Best"...
While on my way back to my desk, strings of thoughts came thru my mind. Can I tell? Shld I tell? I need to get it off my chest! How?! Nobody seemed to know yet!
Met Vic on the way and she knew that something is wrong. But I insisted I was ok...
When I went back to my place, I msg Bel... cos i know I cant talk. The minute I talk, I will cry out! But this gal called me... Within seconds, I breakdown....
Why did I cry? I was puzzled! We used to complain and grumble abt her non-stop! I guess the "feelings" are hidden deep down, and all was revealed today!
Since Day 1 i joined this company, I was under her. My first project FormB1 03 was also headed by her! I guess she is also the one who allow me to have the oppotunity to be involved in projects. For my 8 yrs in the company, abt 80% of the time I was under her....
I guess the real impact to our r/ship came abt while doing PF with her. It was really only as if between the 2 of us! We worked very closely with each other... The other teamates wasn't ard during the initial months of the project. And I "naturally" became the appointed team leader?!
Well, I know that i will still see her in the company. But, I dun think we can find another person with her capabilities. And I dun think I'll have the chance to work with her anymore... :(
After the woo-ha in the morning, consultant wanted to "borrow" our scanner at 4th storey. While waiting for him to come down, I was talking to P at my place. P was my good fren as well as the previous user for PF. When the consultant came, he asked me whether is it that to be PF users, we must have a certain height limit? (Note that both P and I are tall)
I laughed and say "Of cos not!" He really made me laugh admist the sad news.... hahaha..... What a question! While he is doing the scanning, I was telling him that i think his job is very interesting, can change job environment and job areas. Then he was sharing abt the negative sides of it... Well, as we always say, the grass is always greener at the other side of the field...

Update @ 10.53pm
Forgot to mention that my fellow teamate quite immediately said that "So now u r the boss for PF hor?" ARghhhhhhh..... Pray hard tt i will NOT work with her...

Appraisal ... New task ...

We has our appraisal today. It was better and worst than expected. Contradicting right?
I was praised to cloud 9 cos of PF. Details shan't be mentioned here...*shy*
Blessing in disguise is that I'm the only PF officer then who work directly with my DD, M and AC... they can actually see how I work...
I actually read my old blogs from last yr... abt how i dislike PF.... then how i slowly "develop" feelings for it... hahaha... Funny right?
I was given a new task... To handle emails after the filing peak. Hmmm... Now I know why they put me as email backup for peak...??? Or am I reading too much into it? Emails after peak would mean that I will be parting production, parting from my team. Emails would also mean that I won't have add'l projects to do??? I have gotten used to do projects. I look forward to it despite the grumbles i had. It takes my mind off production work for a few months in a yr. It is much more interesting and I get to know and meet more pple... How??? Will I be able to get used to it? Die... difft working mates again. Difft mgr again? Details are yet to be released Perhaps in Apr or May... Now, I'm starting to 舍不得 PF. I regretted being stunned when they told me. I shld have jus tell them that I shld jus stick to PF?!
I know that it is good to take on new tasks. But I wonder why... Everytime something changes or something new comes up, my mind will go into a swirl... Needed time to settle down again. Luckily I dun work in an environment which changes job scope as and when? *sign* ...

Past relationships...

This afternoon bro was at my place when I was watching SCV's 婚礼...
He was asking abt the storyline and such... The wife in the show was unhappy that her husband still kept in contact and meets his ex-gf. Then bro asked: Why cannot meet ex-gf/bf after break-up? This left me ponder...
How many of us actually keep in contact with our ex(s)?
How genuinely comfortable are we IF we meet? Would we avoid if possible?
There are pple who feels 'ok'...
Honestly, I feel awkward. Perhaps keeping in contact is fine, via sms/msn... But meeting? I don't think so... Or maybe thats bcos I never tried "arranging" a meeting before? Perhaps my view will change IF it happens?
Then... how many of us will feel comfortable IF our "the other half" meets their ex(s)?
Definitely I don't feel comfortable. Of cos I will still let him go. But I would want to know how the meeting goes! Perhaps women are petty in terms of this? Or it is just me?

Communication ...

Situation 1:
Since the 1st day of the filing period, the PF team were kept in the loop abt the daily stats. Poor T, who is supposed to do some consolidation of the overall EF stats, didn't know that we had the figures! She went around asking the 20th or 21st storey pple, asking for help ... As usual, she gets the "table tennis" effect... Until finally she got to know that she can actually ask us!
Communication breakdown? Mgtm didn't tell her? I have no idea... Luckily this is only the beginning... the not-so-busy period...
Situation 2:
Similarly, as the daily stats include other reports on backend items, we were also kept informed if the job fail, or if something "happen", if the figures do not reconcile *touchwood!*
Today, the Email team asked me abt the backend part and I told them that part of the backend got some problems and they will resolve by tomr morning, Email team was surprised and told me that I shld highlight to them immediately if I'm aware... I explained that nobody informed me abt "What I shld do..." and "who shld I inform".... "Last time no need what...."
Communication breakdown? Mgtm didn't tell me? I have no idea...
Situation 3:
Was told to cover my colleague when she goes ML in May.... The items to cover just goes on... And I know nuts abt them. Of cos, I was "reminded" that I still need to continue for PF control run....
Then, the list of the team's temporarily work up till 30Apr was out.... I thought I shld be in the list for control run. But I was not!?! *puzzled* Asked my supervisor and she told me that my PF mgr told my team mgr that the work for control run PF area is MINIMAL...I think thats why my team mgr has indicated for me to do other work. What the heck?! MINIMAL?! My teamate whose name is indicated for Control run have other task to do in early april... So, who will take over her control run????!!! It is not stated in the list but I guess the person will be me again! Then, PF mgr met a few of us few days back and told us "more" abt the control run. Initially was to do A-C, then it became A-G. And at the same time, got to juggle my team's work.... Help! What is the definition for MINIMAL???
Communication failed...
Situation 4:
This afteroon S came over to ask me more abt the control run. I reminded her to tell the consultant to exclude the RT cases. Rem last yr whereby Bel hit lots of violation *wink*... S then called her consultant D (at my place) to remind him...
Some one-way conversations as she didn't explain to me after that, wordings aren't 100% accurate:
S: Rem to exclude the RT cases har, thks.
D: ---
S: Cannot? But why PF can?
D: ---
S: U sure cannot?
D: ---- But I can only use the 'table' to 'sieve' out the RT cases. How?
S: Yah lah! Precisely! Then those RT cases you don't give us!!

I never work with D before. But conclusion is that he IS blur...
Communication IS a powerful tool ...
