woRK, wOrK, WoRK
lately i damn busy with office work, but e funny thing is... i dunno what i'm busy at, most of them are not really related to my job scope (IT) but somehow i'm taking care of it, this is the harsh n reality of work life, succumbed to fate lar, haiz...
last week my boss discuss something :
george : eh.. do u have problem with our business manager, that professor?
ahkok : no lor, why lei?
george : he complain to me about you lei
ahkok : issit, complain about what?
george : he say u rude to him, not e first time lor but u know lar, no one like him, i dun bother
ahkok : frankly speaking, i really got no issue with him lor
george : funny lei, he say u talk to him a bit rude, next time be careful lei
ahkok : oh.. ok, probably he need to use the board room, then i say cannot cos our training still in progress
george : i know lar, most ppl here dun like him but just be careful, if u encounter any problem, open up and talk to me
ahkok : ok but that day i'm so busy n rushing for stuffs, u dun expect i casually walk up to him n talk nonsense n chat with him, right?
george : hmm.. yalar, maybe he ask u 1, then u just answer 1, that's it
ahkok : ok, i'll try to be more friendly with him
haiz.. it spoilt my day, but what to do, ppl business manager lei, i sit outside only and i doing support while ppl bring in business, cannot compare lar
suddenly i think of what my far east japanese boss told me last time "trust no one, just yrself, remember. we're in IT n security, many management ppl dun like restriction and they have the ego in themselves, they think they bring in business, big deal. our company spend millions in IT infrastructure and protect our investment, we need to do our parts. if you got problem with management, you must let me know and i'll talk to them, ok? got problem, must tell me"
ok.. i agree with him at last, that's the hard part to deal with. they think that they're the bread n butter of the company, without them, our company will collapse
my boss say it is time for me to pickup some management and project management skills, to further horn yr management skills...
i agree of course, managing complex machine n infrastructure is not a problem with me for years no matter how difficult the project is but managing ppl, u really need to have a different sets of skill. now i know why those ppl who know how to wear a mask is climbing the corporate ladder much faster than those like me, not happy har, dun talk lor
i should be more mature n time for me to shop for a mask liao, damn it!
friday while taking company transport home, a few of us strike up a small conversation, F, Bread & me on the recent rally and voting.
somehow they talk about the voting rights, then the area of voting and suddenly change to the school where they study.
F : teck whye lar
Bread : i study there mah
F : issit, then maybe i know u lei
Bread : no lar.. u so old, cannot be
F : few yrs only, i primary 6, u primary 2
F : i think i saw u lar, primary 2 u all squat down at the 'longkang' there n brush teeth
Bread : yalor, yalor.. but all change liao, school also change
ah kok : aiyaa, get back the old school magazine, easy right
Bread : no lei, dun have
F : dun have
ah kok : u both didn't buy issit
Bread : nope, our school dun have one
ah kok : u sure
Bread : yalor, now go back also no use, no childhood memory
Bread : school also move liao, then change name also, no more lor
haiz.. poor F n Bread
that's the bad thingy abt s'pore, constant change and e ppl here dun feel they're belong to their own homeland. nope? then prove me wrong! when u grown up, all yr childhood memory gone, everything changing, do u feel anything for a particular place?
i still remember my buddy "telur" told us few yrs back, he wanna go back to our hometown to celebrate the 100 years anniversary of our school "Anglo Chinese" ACS. he even buy us the commemorate keychain
although the keychain is cheapo one lar.. but it does bring back our childhood memories, i should upload some of the photo of our ACS but somehow i dunno where i put liao. although all the teacher and the people there change, but we do feel that we belong to that few blocks of old buildings where we sneak out during lessons, fighting over something, run ard, the basketball court, the canteen, etc...
haha.. n especially the classroom fans, the desk n chairs, the blackboard, etc.. old but nostalgia, i suddenly miss home, miss my study day... miss all my classmates n miss all of them
haiz.. now i already in my 30's typing away in a faraway land, pathetic lei
