Today marks my last day in a dynamic company - StarHub

Definitely had a memorable time there, though, a very short stay indeed...

I never thought I would be there for only 6 mths but oh well...
*shrugs*

Just last Tues, we had a team lunch for my farewell at PS Cafe @ Dempsey...
Love the ambience but not the price tag... =X

My Team!

Eyleen, Faylene, Sherm, Flo, Fel, Eliz and Marcus

Baked rice which looks like Claypot rice

Drooling yet?

1) Choc Marshmellow Cake

2) Double Choc

3) Pecan pie or cake (Highly recommended)

I'm hungry just thinking back!!

My Last Day - 29 Aug 08!

Had a long day trying to tally my vouchr figures so didn't manage to go around for photos =(

Nevertheless, here's some shots with those who stayed late...

Fellow Colleagues

Sharon, Anna, Wen Bin, Yu Jin

Gifts from my Assistant Manager and Manager...

=D

Looking forward to my new beginning...

Thanks all for the well-wishes =)

Farewell Dinner 1

Met up with long gone colleague, Jacinta!
Still her witty, lame and auntie style...
Boy, did we miss her actions and jokes...

Prior to reaching the venue (Crystal Jade's Korean Restaurant by the way), she snapped a shot of a couple hanky panky-ing on the escalator...

Funny I tell you! =P

Actually liked the Korean food there!

Deli although I couldn't bit because of my braces... Hehe...

Free refill of side dish!!

Hur hur hur!

Good recommendation!

Do make a trip there next time!

Here's the life of a Marketing Exe in SH...

Step into the office in the morning...

Greeted by my dear messy table...

See how cramp it is!
I'm not a messy person ok...

But there are just too much things and too little space...
And ppl like to put things on my table...
*Sulk*

Typical luch hour with our Tabao-ed food...

We like to hijack the meeting rooms =)


Taken from our little area...
They called it Siberia before I came in cuz it's always cold...
But I prefer to call it our kampung or village...

The woman in the middle is Faylene and she does not belong to our kampung...
She's sitting elsewhere but we just like to have fun together =D

What's up with my smile... =/

Me and Yu Jin!

At my seat...

Endorsing StarHub

We have 2 rappers among us...

Teacher Liang reprimanding our green Hip hopper...

Yoyo...

I know I look like Liang po po...

At My Last SH Roadshow...

Great times, bad times...

Always remembered =D

Spent a hot and stuffy saturday evening @ Fort Canning...

It was the Singapore Music Festival a.k.a SingFest 08

SH has spent a $X amount on the sponsorship so we went down to see if the brand presence is worth the price tag...


Was late to meet Eyleen at PS =X

Took the exciting Nokia bus ride to FCP.

I know this bus has been around for quite some time but never had the chance to board.

So we had a comfortable short ride...

But still had to scale the flight of stairs to the top of the hill =(

Was sticky by the time we reached the top... =/

Went in and made our way to SH's VIP room...

Love the air-con there... We just had to spend more time there

Checked out the external tentage which had a full view of the stage...

SH tentage with drinks for guests

Went over to the Nokia booth for a tatoo =)

SH ball making its way to the audience

The two green balls dancing away...

Most of the peeps were sitting around on green mats provided by us as well as green paper fans...

SH's everywhere!

Well, too bad there aren't many great artistes today (Travis came at 10pm only and the other big shots came on Sunday) so we didn't stay long at the SH tentage...

Still more comfy at the room =P

Besides, there was free flow of drinks... Wee...

Dinner buffet was pretty good with scallops and escargots *slurps*

And I found a healthy way to snack...

Celery, carrots or cucumber sticks dipped in salsa...

Tasted better than expected =)

Chatted the whole night away...
Seems I won't be able to attend more of such events in the new comp...

=/

*pats back*

Another new start for me...

New job... Looking forward to better prospects... *prays*

Life in SH isn't that bad but there's many many reasons behind my decision.

Haven't broken the news to boss yet...

Hope everything will be fine... *stressed*

Had to make a choice out of 2 offers today...

Had a sleepless night yesterday thinking bout the situation I'm in...

Choice 1 - Banking

Job scope: Wasn't what I expected during the interview but later clarified with HR...

Should I trust them? Might not be as interesting as choice 2.

Money: Higher expectation since it's a bank... but oh well...

No diff from current pay... *sulk*

Post: New opening, thus contract

Benefits: Thou under contract, but with full benefits etc unlike SH...

room for pay review, conversion to perm

Working Hours: Long... Roadshows etc will suck up my weekends

Boss: Seems a little fierce... =/

Colleagues: Haven't met them of course but most are quite young too I think

Prospects: Good? Probably can hop to other banks

Choice 2 - Retail

Job Scope: Interesting, what I've been looking for.

Money: Same as SH... =/

Post: Perm

Benefits: Entitled to all benefits etc. Doubt there will be much chance of pay review cuz they stretched their budget... =/

Working hours: Long but during interview, manager said something bout being flexible...

Boss: Looks fierce when not smiling but pretty chatty during interview

Colleagues: Under the boss, there's a few ppl from CS... So I might be the only Mktg Exe... More work?

Prospects: Can move on to other brands but definitely don't expect good money...

It's retail afterall...

What say you?

Can't wait to put on my braces but on the other hand, afraid of all the trouble + ugliness it's going to bring...

Wisdom teeth + 4 other harmless teeth to be plucked on 28 July but boss just told me that she will leave me and another colleague to rep our team for the upcoming Singfest (end July - Aug)...

Am excited, very keen to learn the ropes and gain more experience... =D

But this means putting back my surgery date yet again...

=/

Discovered a lot of things in office today...

Surprised at how things are the way it is...

Is that what you call ofc politics?

Hmmm...

Went home only after 10pm today...

Lots of stuff to complete...

But I'm feeling the sense of satisfaction.

Good job! =D

TNP has finally kicked in!

Choose Freedom!

Ok, now you know which side I'm on =P

TNP has been keeping the whole office busy...

Roadshows, vouchers, DMs...

Will see more of those in the coming month... =/

It's good to be busy... At least time passes faster and there's the sense of satisfaction. =)

Hope I can get more involved~ =)

Anyway, shall not go on about work cuz it's the weekends! Yippee!

I love Friday and Saturday nights!

Oh... some Cdians are up for runs...

Should have asked them to join the Shape run in July cuz I'm involved cuz of work...

Nevertheless, everyone jia you! =)

PC Show anyone?

Joining nauti boy tml to grab some good buys, I hope... =)

Easter Chocolate Eggs from boss :)

Happy belated Easter!

Hope you had a good holiday
LOL

Busy at work today...

Time passed pretty quickly which was good...

But I screwed up something...

Zzz

Definitely don't feel good...

Argh!

Bad...

What a day!

Still at the office now, waiting for a person to get back to me

BUT! I just called and she has already left the office... -_-"'

Waited in vain!
Feel so bad though =(

Work hasn't been smooth sailing cuz there are tons of stuff to learn and I'm still trying my best to understand everything...

sobs...

I suddenly miss MCN, a place that seems alot more familiar and closer to me =(

But I know this is inevitable... Like what I just told Nel...

"Ren yao wang gao chu pa"...
I need to do work hard!

Gambate!

=)

Ok! Time to blog bout happier things! =D

An overdue supper gathering on my last night shift @ Thomson's bak chor mee =)

My lovely colleagues =)

Had a good supper with chats bout insects, food and of course, colleagues!!

=P

Rainbow and I got the same taste!

We eat and drink like Kopitiam uncles... LOL!

Speaking of which... I think I'm really getting old...

Have been getting back aches pretty often...

Sat too much at work?

And anyone with remedy for leg cramps?

Kept having them for the past nights =(

So terrible... *sob*

Ok, enough of my complaints...

I'm missing my supper colleagues! Ahhhhh!!

Hope to meet them soon ;)

Ok, well, just recently, ahem....

I met ah Kang and I promised the photos!

(Nah! White bread, I finally blogged... )=P

Ta Dah!!

Food!

Oishi Jap Food!!!

Tonkichi, as recommended by Kang who took the trouble to find a good place to dine =)

Thanks! =D

Yes, we shared the set cuz it was huge!

Check out the prawns!

*licks lips*

Really good!

They had this fun grinding thing...

We had to grind up the sesame seeds with some sauces provided...

Interesting...

Us, playing!

Thanks for the dinner! Let's get Ling to meet up again!!

Then, the Men, Xi and Mian can reunite!
