Late Posts...Just gonna do some postings about stuffs that happened recently in month of January...A super-long-post is coming straight and hot out from the oven!!
During mid-Jan, the very "VIPS" from our company "Procter & Gamble" were in town to visit our Anna Sui counters...Sandra kept coming down to check on Joanne and me, plus the overall upkeep of our counter in RRC (Robinsons Raffles City)...Luckily, the "VIPS" did not visit our counter at all sooo Joanne and I were finally able to relax a lil'...Shortly after that crucial period, Joanne was informed to go for her appraisal and sooo were all the rest of full-timers...Joanne knew beforehand, that she was gonna be posted out and told me about it...We spent a total of 3months working together as partners but all of a sudden, because of the office personnel's decisions we had to be seperated...Joanne and I were both reluntant to leave but had no choice to only obey...Joanne was confirmed of her posting to Scotts after going for her appraisal and I was being posted to "Vivo City"...
Brenda and Biling, both the B(s) are posted to our counter (RRC)...*Shrugs...The changes were immediately effective as of 1st of February, it was totally not anticipated by all the staffs who were being posted out (including me)...I spend the last week at RRC, happily as usual and by that time, Jo and the rest of my friends made in RRC had come to know about the news...
Just a few days before my last one at RRC, I went for a shopping trip at Marina Square with Jo, Felicia and Diana...I merely bought a red plain spaghetti top from "Mango" from all the window-shopping, Jo and the rest did not managed to get anything...After that, we went down to "Xin Wang" and had our late dinner, spent more than 2hours over there chatting on and on...I'm really glad to have know these good friends, I've managed to learn quite a lot about life and personal grooming through the chats...Though, they might not be the best people I've met but they're definately the most genuine friends, I've made...
Another thing, after I've known about the reshufflement in my company, I got to know that some of my friends were also leaving RRC...Angie and Joreen decided to quit Ipsa after working for more than a year and jumped to SK II, then Helen (from Elizabeth Arden) has been posted to "OG Albert"...New year means new resolutions but why reshufflements? *Shrugs...I will miss my pals sooo much!!
I've also got to made a few other good friends in RRC, and they are:
Esther, Germaine, Yvonne, Angie, Joreen, Raine, Gary, Elaine and Elynn...Most of the names I could remember are here, if there's anyone I've missed please tag my board to inform me...*Bleahs...

My one day at IS (Isetan Scotts)
Was supposed to be working morning shift then recieved a call from Sharon telling me to work afternoon shift at MP (Metro Paragon), double-confirmed with Sandra and I was back to working at IS...Not a morning shift but a afternoon shift...I couldn't lament enough about having to go to MP and was glad when I confirmed with Sandra about my correct shift, never could I work alongside Sharon...Nobody ever wants to work with her, it's an open-secret whereby everyone in Anna Sui knows...
Heard from Sharon that something had happened, but I did not want to talk to her at all...I mean I do care for the person she told me about, but talking to her only irks me sooo the call actually ended quite fast...
Anyway, gotta zap back to the main topic...
Yah, and sooo I was working at IS for that one pathetic day...Sharlyn and Brenda were both working full shift due to the "Spring Colors Launch", we all went for lunch break alone and had only half an hour's time...I felt like sleeping all the while, luckily Brenda was there to chat with me...It's actually the first time, I've come to work together with Brenda and Sharlyn...
Sharlyn's the most senior and although I've heard a lot of bad comments about her, she's still ok to work with for that one day...Brenda, on the other hand was a very nice person...During the night, Geraldine came (she has already permed her hair and I thought it suited her better than the straight hair she used to had) to visit and actually stayed on with us, helped Sharlyn with the packings of stuffs...It was Brenda's last day in IS and Sharlyn actually asked me to join them all after work for late dinner together, Sharlyn told me that she had owe them both a treat...I gladly accepted Sharlyn's invitation and had after work, all 4 of us went to Mcdonald's...
I guess, I'm really considered very lucky to get a treat from Sharlyn cuz Brenda told me that all along while she working with Sharlyn, she's never gotten a treat till then...It was fun chatting with them, and one thing about Sharlyn that Brenda, Geraldine and I had noticed...Sharlyn's make-up was practically perfect even after work, I never once saw her touch up during work and it was still glowing...I must say she still has very good skin, given, her age consideration...

First day in Vivo City
I thought I was late for work (afternoon shift), Laogong rushed me to the mrt station hoping I could hop on the train in time to get to Vivo City...In the end, upon reaching, Huimin told me that afternoon shift at "Tangs" starts at 2pm...(-.-") Humin's one of the nicest senior I've worked with before, she started to show me the staff entrances and paths to various places inside "Tangs" then briefly told me about the environment there...
Saw Carina, Rain and Elaine, the familiar faces and was glad...I didn't quite feel in place though, cuz it still feels weird for me to be stationed there...Felt like dozing off half of the time, but tried not to by keeping myself busy with lame stuffs...All the staffs including supervisors are nice too, as what Humin told me...A far cry from MP, cuz MP is definately the last place on earth that nobody ever wants to be posted to...I just hope for everything in my work now to go on smoothly, I do like my job and have nice colleagues around...May it be the same whole year round, *Bleahs...

Last Friday
Off day again, spent it together Laogong...Went down to Cineleisure to get my N70 wrapped, dropped by at Kinokuniya for "CAWAII" magazine but taiwan version still not out yet...Had dinner at "Cafe Cartel", both Laogong and I think that, the standard has dropped cuz the food sucked...
Laogong and I, then went to "TopMan" to look at his stuffs...Saw a pair jeans and asked Laogong to try on, the design's quite nice and price was reasonable...Laogong liked it after trying on and bought the pair he tried, we got a scratch card and the prize was a $8 off next purchase...Went to "TopShop" on the second floor to hunt for the pair of skinny jeans I wanted but to no avail, switched places to IS and was disappointed the second time...Had no choice but to give up and went down to FEP instead...Really appreciated the time, Laogong had spent together with me, going here and there with me just to hunt for a particular stuff...If only time goes slower, I would be able to spend more time with him...
Went inside "Mondo" the moment I reached FEP, Laogong waited outside for me as it was too crowded...The heels had no appeal to me, instead I was attracted to the the various boots on display...Managed to find one brown-colored pair and decided to get that after trying on a few other designs, Laogong paid for the boots and than told me that, it's his gift for me in January...I was elated after getting the pair of boots, but was shocked when I happened to see one of the pushcarts in the basement of FEP selling boots as well and the price was cheaper than what I've got...Anyway, I tried not to think too much and besides the pair of boots I had chosen to get on impluse, also very prettily designed...Yada yada, hahahs...
I gotta say "Thanks" to my Laogong for getting me the lovely boots...We went back to Jurong Point and then spent around half an hour's time in the "Zone X" playing a new machine that had just arrived...I'm not sure what's the machine called but its one which you can scoop up sweets and then win a bear through hitting the jackpot or something...Laogong stood beside me all the while during when I played and even exchanged $$ for me to play on when I've run out of coins to continue...Finally, our efforts paid off and I got a winne pooh bear after hitting the jackpot!!! =)) Sooo happy...
Thanks soo much Laogong!
