Kudos to C who initiated the participation of WLE award in May 2008. We have worked on this award while I was on exams leave a few months back and without her, it would be impossible. It was indeed tiring but fun-filled with memories while when digging out company's information way back from 2006 to 2007. (Just nice, it's from the year when I first joined PS; on the events organized, HR policies changes, benefits, flexibility at work and bonding sessions that have been organized, implemented and proposed)
Followed by emails, reports, write-ups and interviews with the short-listed group of staff, management and MOM officers. C did a great job by arranging for briefing, consolidating report information, correcting my grammatical errors, reminding me on the past events and practices that we can include etc. Recalled that interview with HR was the longest of all for 2 hours. Kinda freaked out when C updated me and there was no questions in advance for preparation. However, things went quite well during the interview with a few expected questions from the report submitted. Stunned for a few moments for some questions but managed to get through it... Results finally ripe after the hard work and even though it's not the best of the awards presented, it is still an award that we have all we worked hard for! (A big thanks to ALL - without you, it's simply impossible)

Looks perfectly fine and happy yar? These are all after 6pm and was fighting battle in the office before 6pm. Something hurts me today at work and I was feeling all upset and had no one to talk to, I am really, very upset! Feeling unworthy, uncalled for and having to keep it all to myself was an agony. The only person whom I can confide in was on leave and feeling angry, I called her. However, being useless, I teared again while talking and I can't even reply her "Ok, I'm fine." Hung up the phone and ran down to back door to calm down. So useless, but I really am unhappy and stuck! *wanted to shout* Why in the hell should I even tear for such a matter!!! Thankfully, E came back to collect something and felt better after talking to her. Went back to office with redden eyes and continued working. T came in after a while, and it was my long awaited meeting with T and G on company's work process and overseas subsidiaries. Kept my cool and went in for meeting. All went well with lots of follow ups to be done again but was lucky that my redden eyes have already settled down by then. Sigh... Long day~
The heart's cold, it's just another beautiful mistake. 1:08 AM
