Baby met with a (minor) accident last evening (my midnight) when I was talking to him on the phone. That emotions and feelings stirred by that statement just engraved right into my memory so deeply that I will never forget about it. “Baby, i just met an accident. I will call you back in a while”
With a “Oh ok, bye”. I hung up immediately. I was hoping that it wasn’t something serious. My logic told me that it could be nothing serious cos he was still able to tell me that he met with an accident and to call me back. Somehow, I could sense the anger in his tone when he informed me of the accident. I was worried that he might smash up the person who knocked into him. I wanted to dial his number so badly but I knew I had to just wait patiently for him to call back. The silence in the bedroom was killing me.
After 10 – 15 mintues of waiting ( or perhaps shorter than that?), he called back. He was safe and I was relieved. Never mind about the side mirror, never mind about the scratch. So long as he is safe and not hurt, all is fine.
We were both going through patch at work. He had his share of shit, and so did I. I knew I sounded pretty cold and unfriendly when I answered his call, and I’m guilty of that. I felt even worse when I knew that he got shits from his boss. Anyway, I just hope things turn better for him.
I am facing some problem with one of my shipment to India at work, and I’m quite frustrated with it because that would means more work and time spent on investigating the case. wah lao oi. It was meetings and meetings with alot of colleauges coming down from all over the world, and alot of travel arrangements to be made, and I have to follow up with the hotel in Sydney on one of the over-charging that was done.. too little time to handle too many things. Plus, I had been having a seriousl sleeping problem since Sunday night, and apparently that didn’t help me much in my concentration level during work. And I’ve to say, my face didnt’ turn out to be as friendly as normal at work.
Well, I’m actually feeling quite alright except that my tolerance level has dropped by a few levels, and my tolerance for nonsense became zero for the past three days. But yeah, despite of all these, I’m still alright. I will get by. This is just another phase of busy time. I usually just get by. Been the case for me all these years.
Brought the Vietnam and Philippines colleauges to Chinatown for local food last evening followed by a round of beer at Crazy Elephant at the Clarke Quay. It was actaully a good time to bring them around to Chinatown because of the lantern lightings that was set up for the mooncake festival. I miss talking to Vietnamese. I used to deal with Vietnamese every single day in my previous job and I had so much fun with them. Talking to my vietnamese colleagues last night just stirred my memories and emotions. We shared about our cultures and office knowledge (gossips) and we all had a great time. Somehow, we’ve a better relationship which I know will be good for future work.
And this evening, I went to Jumbo Seafood at Dempsey Hill with the global colleagues (from all over the world). Of course, colleagues from other departments as well. It was quite bored initially because I was just “alone”. Everyone were either of manager levels or heads of somethng something. I was just a team assistant. Things were alot better when my boss made it for dinner after his interview with a candidate after office hours. I just sat there quiet absorbing whatever that I could that was shared by others over the table. I realised that there are even more things that I could learn!
It was later when some left and I had to join table with the rest… some colleagues from other departments were singing praises for me in front of my boss which got me quite embarassed. However that made me feel good cos I believe I like to have my boss to be proud of his hire. And I guess I’m the only one of his so many hires who is extrovert!
Chatted to a few heads of something and something, and this colleague who is pretty “infamous” actually exclaimed that he didn’t knew about me at all until this evening. I couldn’t helped it and I had to tell him straight in the face that I’ve shook hands with him and introduced ourselves to each other in the office sometime back… *grins*
