~ to go or not to go~~

My President rejected my application to NZ. Feelings? I kinda feel glad, relieved. I dont know why. Maybe cause the stress level decreased. Everything is in a rush that Im very lost and confused. I've told my boss to postpone it till after my confrimation if possible. I do hope he postpone it first..

~~Happi at work~~

My production supervisor told me that my boss wants to sent me to Aussie for training, I thought it was just a plan.

My boss told me the next day that he wants to send me to Aussie for training, I thought its just a proposal and wasnt confirmed.

Few days later, my boss came into my room and asked: " Did you bring your passport?" my mind was like " am I going in JB now, I just went in with you last week.."

I said:" No lei" giving him the confused look.

He then said: "Ok, then you will be flying off to Aussie in 2 weeks time"

Me:"HUH?? So fast confirmed already??"

He: "Yup, would there be any problem for you?"

Me:"Nono..Im ok.." Happy yet scared

Initialy, I thought I was going to Sydney, well, even my boss thought so, cause that's what he've proposed. But my Aussie boss thought I'm going to NZ, so after clearing the misunderstanding, yup, Confirmed im going to NZ.

I cant wait to go Auckland, NZ next sunday! Very excited but yet scared at times. I thought its scary to travel alone to a place heard but never been before. But Im really glad that my boss actual proposes this idea to the management, allowing me to show what i can do for this company. In Auckland, the company is actually doing wet sauces and also some batters, coatings and marinades, very similar to what my co is doing, so the training is some how related. Hope the 2 weeks of training would help me gain much experience and exposure.

I think, ever since I've started my workin life 4 years ago, this job is one that allows me to learn much much more in a really short time of 2 months? I've learnt to set up a new QA lab, SOPs, finding quotes for new equiments, learning production, getting to know these people etc.. All these, although not yet 100% completed, are being forced to go into my head and set the piorities right. Of course I'm not alone, I too do need helps. My 2 bosses are there to help me, my local boss and my Aussie boss. Colleagues from JB QA Dept, the Technical Manager, the Penang R&Ds and not to forget my SG colleagues! I'm realy glad I came into this co, though i used to HATE it ALOT. Its not the co actually, its more like the work. I dont fancy QC jobs. But with these wonderful colleagues, Im glad =)

In this co, I feel appreciated, my presence is known to alot of people in JB, Penang when I've never met them before. Some would come down to SG to settle some stuffs and then come up to me and said: " You must be Isabella, I'm _____, nice to meet you."

Im like " Hi, blah blah blah blah.." with alot of question marks going through my head, thinking who are they, where they are from and what position are they.

I think I'm well known in the IT dept now, in the bad way. I've complained a few times to the IT people that my com is going to crash, its starting to show blue screen!! But the ICT people just refuse to give me a new PC because i dont have a network point in my office and will only do it after CNY. Yes, my office got no internet, no phone line! Everytime when I need to do some stuffs, I need to go to office and print, scan, use internet to check my mail, or even worse, i need to make calls using my handphone as I really cant afford to leave the lab. How irritating!!

But its going to be over soon. My complain to my bosses, to the JB Technical Manager, pratically to EVERYONE I see in office, worked! I think my boss and Technical manager brought it up to the management during meeting and WAH LAAAAAA!!!, the IT manager was told immediately to come down to SG (oh, our internet server is in MY) to start doing the network point. Yup, they came down yesterday to start looking at the layout.

Seriously, I do feel bad, because I didnt want them to feel that I complained that they are not doing their work, it not that they didnt do, its more like they dont understand the importance of me needing a computer and internet. Even in emails to whoever, I will just tell them that I do not have any access to internet and thats why i replied their mails slow, I can only check it on weekends, yes, thats at home! I cant live without a computer at work, I will just die immediately! no computer means I cant input all my datas, cant create forms for the operators to fill to protect their own butt (and mine of course), cant even do my reports!!

I just dislike some eople in my co who take people's help for granted. You want me to help you do something, I'm ok. But all i need was some reminder but you just refused? Giving me excuses like : oh, i wont be free.

Shit la, a sms wont take you more then 5 minutes unless you really cant understand english or cant even see properly. duhz..so selfish! Help you? I'll decide again, see if i realy do remember anot.

Alrighty, typed enough liao. haha, stupid me deleted some post off my blog without realising. haiz..Ta!!
