My Life: colleague

Showing posts with label colleague. Show all posts

It's my last day of work today and I am leaving with sadness, yet feeling excited about my new job as well.

I had been with my current company for almost 3 years. It is my first job since my graduation and I was one of the pioneer staff where there were 4 of us initially. We really worked hard to make a company look like a company, with purchase of stationary, with setting up photocopier machine, buying storage and setting up email for staffs etc. It was a simple company operation with the 4 of us.

As the operation was simple, we could report things directly to our bosses, without much problem. The both of them were very nice and would take us out for lunches almost every week. We would get to choose what we want to eat and my bosses would drove us to the place despite the distance. My boss also took us to Taiwan in 2013 for a company overseas trip, to yacht for our company anniversary and experience many different kind of foods in Singapore.

I have 5 lovely colleagues who we could joke about during work hours. They were very nice and would offer their help physically when needed. As our age gap wasn't too far off, we were able to find common topics to discuss and work wasn't boring.

But after 3 years, I made my decision to leave, hopefully for the better. But definitely, I missed my jovial colleagues. Goodbye is never a goodbye, because the memories we shared remains.

Thank you , Eurustech family!

Thank you Eurustech!

After the whole afternoon at sea, i was given 30 minutes to bath and do my make-up before Boss fetched us from home. Company dinner was held at the Mouth Restaurant in China Square at 7.30pm.

We were caught in the jam and ended us the last party to reach the dinner.

Let's start with white wine.

I haven been blogging for a week. And when you procrastinate, this is what happens: My posts might be up all at once!

Last week was very busy with our company anniversary! We had to look for comapny which does custom-made caps, planned some games and foods. There are also other jobs to follow up on and not forgetting to have a nice dinner with our Taiwan colleague.

It was a holiday for our company last Friday. Most of us came to work late as our boss wouldn't be coming into office. I woke half an hour late only as i needed to collect company caps.

Early birds!

I was in my tee-shirt and shorts. Never had i been this rebellious haha! But because our company anniversary was held at the yacht, we ought to dress up appropriately :X As we rented the yacht at 1.00pm, we left office 1 hour earlier to avoid jams near Sentosa.

You will be bombarded with photos!

Whole lots of different yachts at One Degree 15 Marina

One short post for my colleague!

Last Saturday, i had attended my colleague's wedding at Keppel Bay. She is my second colleague i knew of since i started work and i looked upon her as my elder sis at work. I was really glad that we were all able to attend her once-in-a-lifetime event.

The wedding hall was held at Keppel Bay. I was there quite early (The venue was not yet decorated!), so Xiong and I walked around to take some photos

See how pretty it is!

I shall keep this post short and sweet.

This day, we woke up early in the morning and had our breakfast in Garden Villa Hotel. The buffet was pretty good and all of us filled up our stomachs before setting off to Tomato Farm! Our nice coordinator brought us all the way up to Mei Nong.

Hi readers! I am finally back from Taiwan.

This year had been a good year. Travelling to Taiwan 3 times, going to Bangkok and Batam. Life has never been this great!

The taiwan trip was suggested by my boss during August. In October, we bought the tickets and we were be travelling to Taiwan on 19 Dec till 22 Dec. I bought the SIA tickets using boss's credit card.

Again, life has never been good so far.

On the early morning of 19th Dec, Bii drove me to the airport. He picked me up at 5.50am and we reached at 6.00am. As we did on-line check-in 1 day before, i queued up to exchange for my airticket and checked in my luggage. In just few minutes, it was done and bii and i had breakfast at yakun toast at B2.

Upon leaving, bii kissed me good-bye and told me to take care. I walked into the departure hall and started buying cigar o.o Anyway, i met the rest of my colleagues inside the boarding area.

Happy birthday Vivian!

Yesterday, we had a mini celebration for her in office. Boss called me up and go to the loading bay after 10 minutes. I acted on his instructions and went to the loading bay below office. When he came, he told me to hop on, and so i did. Then he started driving to the Breaktalk HQ nearby. We settled on a Black forest, requested a 28th years old candles and went back to office after that.

Including our new colleague

A proper one + present

Birthday girl

And so... we sang the song together:

Oh hey! Where are you looking ?!

Blowing out the candles

Cut the cake and leave the rest to me!

It was a regular size cake but none of us were able to finish it. And importantly, we needed to keep one slice for our big boss. After celebrating together, we sat in the meeting room to chat until 6pm!

Time to go home!!

Hope you had lots of joy on your birthday Vivian!

Happy 28th!

I had missed out too many things over the week.

Just some update......

The other week, our colleague from Taiwan came to Singapore for a short meeting. It was our first time meeting her. A very nice and polite girl. Her stay in Singapore was rather hectic as she had to learn things from us and not forgetting to see our Singapore!! We brought her to the places she wanted to go and visited Garden by the Bay. It's a tourist destination. She has to go haha!

Taken some photos back then... ...

A full photo together.

On another day, i met up my poly school mates at Bedok Reservoir WaWaWa cafe. It was a unique name. I had never knew of such cafe until that day when i went there. I was late and full, after a dinner with my colleagues at Lee Do restaurant at Ubi. There was definitely a lot of catch-up to with with my friends. Shu Ming has a job and Mei Ching has very good news for all of us. It was only 5 years since we graduated. And just after 5 years, all of us seem to have a life waiting for us ahead. Though all of us weren't as childish and crazy last time, but the joy of togetherness which we shared could never be explained in words.

My 4 flowers

And on the day before National Day, i met up my babes. It was a week of catching-up with my love ones. My babes has suggested going to some 五金店 in bras basah for breakfast. Adeline was shocked when she heard that we are going to have breakfast at 五金店. My babes and i love brunch. Not surprised when we will hunt down pretty brunch cafes. This is the place:

Chye Seng Huat Hardware
150 Tyrwhitt Road

Tue - Fri: 09:00 - 19:00

Sat - Sun: 09:00 - 22:00

Don't be afrad to enter this hardware shop. It may look like any shop selling kim zua but when you entered.. But inside, it was a nice cosy cafeteria with bustling sounds of coffee machines and people of all ages. We had waited quite a while before we found a place to sit. The brunch was rather affordable starting from $10 for mains. Here's what we ordered:

The foods were deliciously and cheaper as compared to other brunch places like Kith cafe and Wild honey. We chatted till almost 3.30pm while waiting for bii to arrive. As usual, we chatted our girl stuffs and getting updates from all of us. Its been so long since 10 years ago.

And now.. ...

Still the same usual us. This is how we looked after 10 years. Perhaps i should post photos of each year since 2006. This year, i had also received my belated birthday gifts from them. I had my first chanel lipsticks and Victoria Secret pouch. It was such a luxury! My flowers gave me vouchers, allowing me to buy whatever i liked hehe.

I had tried this colour and it really suits me well.

Speaking about cosmetics, I had bought my Urban Decay eye primer from http://www.beautybay.com.

Original!

This eye primer cost $33 in Sephora stores in Singapore. I have been hearing rave of this products since last year. Friends and magazine has been giving their reviews. And such, i felt to itch to buy for myself as my birthday gift. I bought this from beauty bay on 26th July but this product only arrived on 13 August. I guess it was delayed due to the long weekend last week.

The postman delivered this parcel all the way to my doorstep as the box couldn't fit my letterbox. Somehow, the box was ridiculously big when i received it. I thought there might be some samples within but sad to say, it was filled with thick paper and my eye primer only -.-

I opened it just now and did a test .... The result was definitely amazing and this product delivers my expectations. Photo will explain all:

The left side was without eye primer application. Compared to the right, the colour on the right was so brilliant and obvious. Not only that, it doesn't smudge easily. I like this product!

Right now, I needed a run as i needed to jog for the half army marathon (AHM) on 1st September 2013. Bii is working today and i would just have the time needed to blog. ^^

Yeah! Its finally Friday again!

My mood is rising and im in game for a good rock later tonight .Wahahaha~

I am turning 24 this year and life still goes on. Who really cares anyway. I live my life and i love my life. I have a great boyfriend, loving family, close friends and best colleagues. My sister is getting married this year. How time really flies... (I always use this phrase, i know). Its been 2 decades since i started fighting with her since i was born. There was never a time of loneliness or quietness, even when my brother was born. And now, all of us are moving on to our next stage of life. It is a natural thing to do of course.... ... I wish her happiness... ...

Yesterday, my boss had gave us(his second son and me) a mini birthday celebration in office. During lunch, he brought is to Ding Tai Feng at Tai Seng but the queue was so long that we have to wait for 50 minutes! Can you just imagine waiting 50 minutes for food? We will be starved to death by then. So boss decided to drive to Nex again for Ding Tai feng. At nex, we did not have to wait as there was no queue. All of us are happy about it. We ordered the usual and settled lunch pretty quick. After that, he suggested buying a cake back to office. I chose tiramisu as i love this cake a lot.

And so, i took the cake out from the fridge and put it in our meeting room. The small guy helped me to bring the lighter over and we lighted the candle. Somehow, there is one big candle and 2 small candles on the cake. That makes me 22 this year and 2 years old for the small boy. I'm growing younger!

Never mind about this.

My colleagues sang the song and we blew off the candle. Small boy blew really hard at the candle o.o

I distributed the cake to everyone. Boss has the smallest share. And so.. after that, we took a Eurustech family photo.

We had all the candid shots and the 2 small boys were playing around, pushing people out of the camera screen. I guessed you know who was being the unlucky one in this photo. Hahaha!

They left after the cake was cut and photos taken. I guessed we will see them next year again. I was really appreciative of my colleagues as it was really the first time we celebrated birthday together. It was really fun! :D

And tonight... Will be my night! Hahaha!

Happy Wednesday everyone!
It is a Wee ~ Wednesday.
A day when my bosses went to business, a day when my big boss passed his BTT, a day when my colleague turns older today, a day when i am going to be alone in office and a day when i will be meeting my love later.
Let's talk about yesterday 1st:

I ended work a bit later as usual as i wanted to ask bosses to share present with me for Vivian's present. Surprisingly, big boss sponsor $50 (spoil market) for her birthday present! Of course, i am able to buy a better present for her ^^. After work, big boss sent me to pasir ris because i was going to dear's house. Nice right? I save transport almost everyday hehe! When i reached dear's house, i saw him cooking our dinner tonight. When seeing him standing there cooking the pasta, i felt so happy and blissful to have a meal cooked by him. Can i have it like this everyday? :p We had beacon and ham as additional dishes. Yummy.

With our stomach 100% full, we went down to bugis to get Vivian's present. We walked about Sephora for a while and i bought her something which i eyed for quite a while. A Too Face eye shadow palatte! With additional budget, i am able to get her brushes and shower gel. Haha. For a while, i was afraid that she saw me getting her present but luckily, we didn't. :D We made payment at the cash counter and went to have desserts in Bugis Parco. The desserts were soso only, not very delicious but cheaper and worth the money.

I shall upload photos later as this computer did not have enough storage space to upload my photos. Is this com really 4gb ram? Seems like this big screen cpu cum monitor can't do much at all. Disappointing!
