Got a Shock at Work today (19-8-09)

Met BB after work at Raffles City cos I was telling him how sad and bored I was at work today. This was only my 4th day at work at my new company when I had a shocking news in the afternoon before lunch.

Gosh… My boss told me that he’s leaving end of the month cos just received news from Head Office that they want to ‘change’ management. Together with him, another 6 management heads are going getting the ‘axe’….
It’s just so sudden and so shocking…
I am also at a loss now becos I am not sure who am I going to report to or will there be any changes to my job scope…Sigh….

Anyway, I bought a red tissue gift wrap at Raffles City basement today for $1.20 after mom told me that some red roses will be pretty.
So I’m adding these red roses for deco use on the couple chairs at the Solemnisation table.

Found new job!!! Yeah

yeah!! hehee.. as title suggested, I've found a new job... :) I was offered the job of Senior Compliance Officer on 2-5-08, Friday and agency called to inform me on saturday morning. hee... So fast.. was caught unprepared because I only went for the interview on 30-4-08. Then I was on vacation leave till 6-5-08.

So Yesterday 7-5-08, I finally submitted my resignation letter to Big Boss. Was sad and teared while talking to her because the only thing holding me back is the wonderful people here and the associations and bondings that I've made with OC people for the past 4 yrs. BB consoled me and said anytime I can come back again and asked me to keep in touch with her. I was relieved...hee... another good news is that my new office is just behind my current place..so I can still meet up with my colleagues here... And go home or play after work or even makan crab session! ^_^

Today, I went to sign the letter of offer and was amazed to find the new place so spacious.. I was told by HR that I'd be on the same level as the GM, HR , Legal... woooo.... stress....

Surprisingly, the hated 'witch' didnt come and talk to me anything about my resignation. I tried to avoid her also..hahaa.... Don't know if she's shocked or not.. hmmm...

Oki, went Marina Sq with Sharon to eat dinner. Ate at this Wakaru pasta... not bad... then bought a ring!! ^_^ hee... Only $6.95. The china salesgirl was quite friendly and we chatted and ended up I bought the ring..hahaha...

Yeah, tmr going out with AS gang! So surprised to receive Felix's sms just now when he initiated to go out for dinner and movie session...hahaa.. must be ANNA!!! He must be having a 'crush' on ANNA... ahhaha....

ok, too full now... going to watch a Bug's Life on youtube..kekeke...

Sick

Today, didn't go to work.. partly due to sickness and also have no mood or moral to go work.
Went to see doc, and was given 2 day's MC to rest... Thanks Dr Koh..

Did pretty much nothing at home..sleep after the medicine.... then woke up with slightly swollen eyes due to tearing all night yesterday..
But after waking up, and talking to BB, I've enlightened and have new hope for myself and the future.

It doesn't matter what has happened in the past, for what's important is now and what I'm going to do to overcome these terrible obstacles.

Started to prepare my resume...have sent them out and posted them online...
After thinking so much, have finally decided to take a step out to explore better opportunities, afterall, I've been with the bank for 4 years. It's time for me to move on either to a new department or to a new bank.

BB has been very understanding and supportive of me. He gave me lots of advice and encouragement and stood by me when I needed him and his comfort.
He came over to meet me and initally wanted to treat me to ice-cream (cos ice-cream and chocolates make me happy). But cos family wants to go eat steamboat, so we changed our plans.

It really cheered me up to be able to see BB. =) Thanks dar! Really appreciated it. :)

Okie.. gotta go start searching jobs le..:)

Bonus letter day

Sighz.. it's such a demoralizing sad day for me... arrgghh....
Can't believe I can live it through with a big fake smile... haa...
Got the letter from Big boss today...
It's so sad when I opened it..
Actually, I kinda expected the outcome and have prepared myself mentally for this day, so I didn't over-react. I just 'lived' it through like any other day.
But definitely, it was such a mind struggling battle thing inside my mind.

3 years....it's been 3 years since I got my last bonus... I can't swallow and feel so demoralised when I think about this.
Friends were like telling me " Hey! It's time to move on! Why stay in such a company when your bosses doesn't recognise your effort and work?"
I have thought about this many times, but I chose to stay because kept thinking to myself that in this new department (which I just joined in july 2006), the new boss will appreciate.

But somehow or rather, have faced a terrible boss (not referring to my Big boss - she's a very nice person, but somehow, she's been affluenced by my direct *F*** boss).
Last yr, I told myself, I will see how I fare for this yr, if it's still the same, I will move on.

Indeed, I am seriously considering..
Sighz... God help me decide.... :-
