In shades of grey and pink...: The very belated post...

*LauGhs*

I know...I know... I haven't been blogging, but it's been a tiring month! Time flies! the 1st month of 2008 has just whizzed by us and Im typing this after a catnap on the 1st day of the Chinese New Year! I do hope that everyone's gotten quite a great deal of red packets today! :)

Well, the main reason as to why I havent been actively blogging is because of work. Work, as it is, if isn't enjoyable, becomes a chore, which leaves a person emotionally drained out and wanting more sleep! :P

The irksome thing was that on the first day of work, my boss had already screamed her head off at me, simply cause I wasn't aware of how the various internal softwares worked! It was a trying experience, for no one handed over or taught me things that I ought to know which is related to my job scope; It was as though I had to know about the operating systems, mind-boggling acronyms and the operations on my own; I was left to sink or swim, and I'd like to think I got by pretty okay...

But the relations with the colleagues at work in my department is simply put, cordial... Judging from their body languages, it's pretty apparent that my boss dislikes me, and I reckon its due to personal reasons than work-related issues, but I just put on my brightest smile at 0830 every weekday morning, and even after getting scolded or being at the receiving end of her sarcasm, I still managed to have the smile plastered on my face! So much for being fake!

Colleagues-wise, I truly believe that they're nice people, but people whom I wouldn't consider to be friends... I mean, this is such an irony for Ive made so many lasting friendships from the various jobs Ive had throughout the years, and this is by far, the worse job for Ive never experienced working under such a tyrant whose sarcasm seems personal, and her remarks can reduce even the toughest to feeling like useless bums! The silver lining in that is that I've now lost a few kilos with the constant stress and bullet/arrow dodging in my attempts to run away from the boss's wrath, which occurs at any time at her whim...

So much for working in a highly-reputable 5 star hotel in hospitality! Despite being the oddball of my department, I have, surprisingly, made friends with fellow colleagues in other departments whom all pat me on the back and encourage me... At least I now know how a huge and reputable hotel works and how each department contributes to make the hotel's daily operations run smoothly! And how working until past midnight feels like! *LauGhs*

And amidst all the pressures at work, and juggling classes, moi still went for some girly fun night outs!

(pics to be uploaded soon! If I can get my hands on them!)

And it was a mad mad rush getting all my CNY stuff, simply because I haven't had the time to shop at all, since work is never-ending... :( I didn't even buy new shoes! :( Well, the shoes havent been that nice recently anyways, they're all not toweringly high, and ever since work demands covered heels, I havent had the chance to wear my lovely heels! Hurhur!

But I must say that the last minute mad dash for some CNY clothes was pretty successful, I managed to get dresses, mostly in black, so I can't wear them for CNY, but who cares? :P

CNY-wise, the red packets are same old, same old, Daddy's side of relatives aren't that generous, but hey, I can't complain either! :) Besides, with each year, I've been asked if Ive a boyfriend, whether I am attached and the ring of fire questions.... *Smacks Head* And to realise that its the very irregular time of the month just minutes before we usher in the year of the mousey and to have have bad pangs of cramps all day long is just so priceless!! (-_-")

But the festive period is a great excuse to just chill, veg out on all the snacks and goodies, and catch up on watching random telly shows and of course...

Coffee Prince!!!

The chemistry between the lead actors and actresses are simply amazing! Not to mention the lovely houses served as the backdrop in this drama serial, and obviously... ...
