Dear Ms Aunt Agony

Been feeling like an agony aunt of late. An old friend of mine whom I thought I have loast contact with, forever suddenly called me the other (accidentally) and we got back talking. He called me on Wednesday night and he was telling me that his fiancee left him and took the car, credit cards and his heart. He was really feeling in the rut and I couldn't do anything but listen and maybe give my 2-cents of what I know. Next day, a so-called-colleague of mine called me at 8am (I was still asleep) and sounded all depressed, I knew something was amiss. He didn't want to disturb my sleep so he said he'll call back in the afternoon. Well, he did and told me that his wife told him the day before that she hated, ever since the day they got married. No reason given. Seems she was having an affair. Funnily, I would suspect the husband of cheating, never the wife so that came as a shock to me. Again, the helpless feeling came to me. All I could do was lend an ear and not even advice for I am unfit for such a case.

To make matters worse, things at work isn't a bed of flowers either. My uncle (who's one of the Director), is leaving at the end of the month. He can't stand the other Director and they always have a clash of ideas. Thing is, the other Director (we call her the Fish cos her office is like an aquarium) always wants things to be done her way and no other way. She always tells us to voice out our opinions and whatever that we are not comfortable with but she will not listen and come to her own conclusion and not make matters any better, sometimes matters become worse even.

Seems every department in the office is getting their chance to be "shoot" by the Fish. 1st it was my department, about punctuality, noise, dressing, talking, messiness and many more things. When we changed all that, she was still not satisfied and wanted more. After she got bored with playing with us, she detoured to the Web department. My colleague, Anne was almost gonna throw stuff at Fish on Wednesday. Things were just plain bad, luckily I went home already. Even this other collague of mine whom i didn't use to like cos he was a spy for he Fish previously and always sucking up to her became very nice to my department people today. All he used to do before was to spy on us and jot our bad things into his lil black book. Because of what happend on Wednesday, he suddenly realised that all he had done for the Fish was unappreciated and there was no point goin on so he now wants to be our friend instead. I guess some good thing did come out of this, we made another friend.

There are many more things happening in my company. It would take me ages to write it down and I'm doing all this blogging in the office. Quite dangerous. I have yet to tell you about Keli (Fish's niece). That would take me a whole day to tell so I will just update a little about her any time I can. For now, I shall leave this as it is.

Centuries Ago

It's been ages since I last updated this. So much have happened but it'll take me all the amount of time I've lost out to re-count all happenings. Due ot that, I have decided to just leave things and start from here onwards and maybe touch a little on the past. As one of my cousin's girlfriend told me, after reading my handwriting, "You are a person of the 'now'". I don't look forward nor do I look backwards.

I hooked myself a job. An office job for that matter. No major complains. My collagues are great. We're like one big happy family. The most admirable thing about us is that we have loads of teamwork, cooperation and communication. Even my "head" is great. She stick up for us no matter what never once doubts us. As usual, work load is a lot and more so for me, a 'noobs' aka newbie. Trying to pick up stuff from my dear colleagues. My mentor, Elyn has been a great help to me, teaching me with patience and expertise. Working with our clients, "The Bank" has it's ups and downs as well. They can be a real pal to you but when they rush you for something, they really RUSH you. And no doubt, every company, no matter how good will have politics. As said, everyone is a real dear, all except 'fish', so we call her. Mainly because she sits in her office with is all round glass covered, looks like a fish tank. She is our Director. She wants things her way and only HER way. So, that's work for my side.

Ah... My food has arrived and smelling it makes me hungry. Will continue tomorrow... If I remember... Hehehe..
