Alvina

As you already know, or perhaps this is something new to you, i am fat and i have a tummy. The name is Alvina.

as usual, i had many meetings today and when i reached office, i felt so drained and tired.

then i received a fone call.

"Hi good afternoon, can i speak to Alvina"

OMG I laughed so hard for at least one minute... the person ended up saying "sorry wrong number"

Had wanted to put the fone to Alvina... Anyway she needs to be destroyed. ordinary means no longer work. she requires medical intervention. Hey maternity leave is 4 months leh

People Come, and GO, and hopefully some Come back again

I've been working for close to 3 months. Within these 2 months +, I've seen many people leaving the organisation. Imagine I was the most junior marketing person in the department. Coming End September, I'll probably be the most senior one (excluding my boss). Well, bosses move too. Even faster. This is the 3rd marketing communications manager, given this shopping centre I work in is barely 2 year old. The management office will soon be so quiet... More work coming along, with less colleagues sharing the workload.

One marketing colleague left for another place, one was head-hunted to another mall, one is going overseas with her husband, one is going on maternity leave in End Sep. Colleagues from other departments are leaving too, one after another.

You probably never know the real reason why people leave their workplace. Even when they mention it's for a better offer elsewhere, the real reason may be a different workplace culture when new bosses come in.

Human dynamics sets in. Everyone has a different working style. And I've since learnt that it is good to be really versatile and work according to the style your bosses prefer.

Its my first job, and I'm glad its a good place where I can learn alot. Anyway enough of work. Its quite never ending.

Mickey, whom I've known since Sec 1, is leaving for Hong Kong, for good. Probably not returning. We never meet him for more than 1 year because he went into some sort of hibernation. So this is the first, and last time we are meeting after his hibernation.
