Weekends really flies! Have not been leading a fulfilling work life recently because I am still stuck at learning the easy stuffs. Did not really have a chance to learn the more challenging areas. :( Made quite a few really careless mistakes at work like missing out on some details before sending emails out to locations. Urgh!
Wore my grey dress to work on one of the weekdays. And again, this was made by my mum! I just need to show her what designs i want and she will make it for me with the fabric she bought. Length is just nice for work and most importantly, custom fit and only for me lol! :)
Have been on a very strict sleeping routine lately. I will sleep by 9.30pm and wake up at 5am. For me, it is a must to catch at least 7 hours of sleep daily else I will feel very lethargic at work. So, a good sleep is really important!
Met with quite a bit of hiccups at work recently. The more I think the more I feel I should defend myself. Talked to boy and my mum about it and they told me this is actually a very small matter compared to what they have encountered. Boy told me I should not just keep quiet about it and instead should defend myself if he/she is just a colleague as we are on equal pars. So the next time I encountered such remarks again, I will make sure I defend myself. Because of this I have been rather unhappy lately at work hence I did not manage to update my blog posts. Sorry all!
And into my 4th week of work, I finally had OT on one of the days! I was actually already preparing to pack up at 4.15pm but at the last minute I received an email that says this - "Yu Ling, please work on this urgent RFQ and I will need this for my review in my inbox first thing in the morning tomorrow. Thanks."
Stayed till 7pm and rushed for the mini-bus outside. One of my colleagues from another department called out to me and asked if I want to take his car since we stayed just one block away. Really thanks to him else I can never reach home in just half an hour! :)
Enough of my grumblings, I have a good news - for myself! Lol!
Boy managed to get approval for his leave and I also had approval for mine to take leave even though I am still under my 3 months probation! Immediate boss wasn't very strict about it and told me since HR has given it to me I can take anytime I want. :) And that means another step nearer to Bangkok!
I did some research and we decided to go for 5D4N instead of the 4D3N since we have the time and it will not be so rush for us too. Boy wants a centralized and 5* hotel so Amari Watergate is the choice. I considered in the money factor so to me Arnoma hotel is the choice. Not too bad too since it is also centralized and a 4* hotel. Therefore it is a choice between these 2 hotels. We took into account the plane tickets and were really shocked that it totaled up to almost $600 for Arnoma hotel and $700 for Amari Watergate! In normal circumstances, a trip to bangkok should not cost more than $400. And we are travelling on weekdays.
But whatever it is, I think since it is not easy for us to arrange for our leaves to be approved together (especially for him) and since it is my birthday week too, money is secondary. It can always be earned back so it is not a big issue. :)
Shall do a last check on the rates again and book by this week! Weeee!
So. damn. happy.
