How? What to do? I'm at the verge of giving up. Do I have the energy to stay till Christmas?
Should I stay on just for the experience? Or should I just go?
I didn't know I was so stressed up until I cried out like there's no tomorrow that day. Suddenly, I didn't know who to look for... I didn't know who to talk to... I didn't know what to do... Everything was just bottled up inside waiting to be exploded.
I don't wanna lose. I don't wanna lose to him! I don't wanna lose to myself!!
I keep telling myself.. Endure for a period and I can get results. After that, I can run off somewhere bigger.. Somewhere greener..
Am I being impatient? Cuz I don't think I'm seeing any results for this past 7mths of work.
Am I asking too much? Do I have what it takes to make them understand what I'm doing? Am I able to prove myself after what have happened?
I don't wanna cry out in front of others again. I don't wanna show them that I'm weak.. I have to be strong in front of them so that they will support me...
But... Do I have the energy for it?

He went to the vet today and had to have an injection. The vet said it will be very painful and asked us to hold him tight.
She poked the needle in and out. Happy didn't have any reaction at all! He didn't feel pain! The vet was very surprised.
His bill amounted to $95! Dogs see doctor really expensive... Wonder if Addy wanna sub abit... So, Addy, what's your answer? =)

It was a birthday celebration @ PH!
At about 5pm, I had to go back to get my tickets endorsed because I'm on leave on Monday and I forgot to get it done on Friday. We took a cab to MF because I was running late. From MF, we got onto my usual cable car ride to Sentosa. We're lucky because all the good guys were working. I managed to sneak Addy up. But at Sentosa, I saw one bad guy working. No cable car ride back le..
After endorsing, we walked to Beach Station to get a bus back to Harbourfront. Come to think of it... It's like the second time we went to Sentosa together! =P
Then, it was time to go to Pasir Ris for BBQ. At Pasir Ris, my bro asked me to wait for him at the Town Park. I walked in circles but couldn't find it. In the car, he pointed to me where the park was. It was just beside White Sands! I was walking the opposite direction! To cover up my mistake, I said it doesn't look like a park! Haha.. =P
At the chalet, I was using my lappy after dinner. Whoever walked pass me asked whether I wanna use the room but I rejected. It's so lonely in there. When my bro was leaving, I got a lift from him to Seng Kang. He wanted to send me to St James but Meihua wasn't ready.
After a long wait at Seng Kang, it was party time! We didn't wanna spend on drinks. We stole our mixers from Michael. =P It was fun. Almost everyone were crazy. I kept taking pictures with Toot Toot Specs. =P

I'm really fed up. Irritated... Pissed...
"Can I kill his fish?"
I always ask this question whenever I have this feeling.
If one day, his stupid actions make me explode, I'll type my resignation letter and hand it to him on the spot.
I can leave anytime but he can't hire anyone anytime. He can't get that person to learn all the stuff I'm doing at once. He will be the one at loss. He should get the idea that I'm in control of him. He depends on me and I'm managing him.
I'm not giving him any face anymore! Whatever he say, I'm gonna fight back. I don't care how much time I'm gonna waste arguing with him but I'm not gonna give in anymore.
I'm gonna make him feel guilty for his own stupid mistakes and not push them to me.
It's PAYBACK TIME!

After a long planning, some briefings and a few rehearsals, the day has come at last! It was the Grand Opening of Sapphire & Empress Jade.
Sunday was a rehearsal. I rushed back at 11am and stayed till about 1045pm. In between, I went home for a while because the rehearsal was postponed to 7pm. At night, after another round of rehearsal, there was some touching up to do. Since Ryan and I weren't involved, we had 30minutes to kill. I suggested we take the cable car. In the cable car, we gossip about HT. Even GR Dept knows about HT and his staff!
Monday was the actual event! I practically wasn't in the mood to work. Before a last rehearsal, Desmond had a briefing with Faber TOOL. He said, "Felicia, you don't have to stay till so late like the others but I really hope the whole FT can stay back as a team to help." By saying this, Felicia said she's too paiseh to leave early. Haha... What a tactic! Maybe I can use this on some people.. My first targets will be my frontline! Haha..
After briefing and rehearsal, it was time for our early lunch. After lunch, I tried to sit down to get some things done. After a while, it was 3pm! Time to go to Harbourfront! Together with Ryan, we went to HF Counter. When we're there, HT wasn't there yet. So, we went to get ice cream first. Hee...
After waiting for a long time at Harbourfront, it was 6pm at last! Time to start working! HT wanted Cheryl and me to open the car doors for the VIPs. Luckily Simon saved me. He said it doesn't look nice having girls opening doors. So, he and Ryan did it. Azman came down later to help out too. When the first few guests came, we were looking for HT. But he was nowhere in sight. He's supposed to be in the area because he's the IC for Harbourfront leh...
When most of the guests have arrived, we went back to MF to have our dinner. During dinner, we gossip about what happened at the area we're in charged of. Since we're from different areas, we had lots of story to share. Haa... It was really fun because we don't really talk much to other dept except work related. Because of this event, we're closer to each other in one way or another.
When the event was about to end, we rushed back to Harbourfront to send the guests off. After that, we had to get back to MF for a celebration! It was free-flow of drinks for the night. F&B were opening champagne like they were opening bottles of soft drinks. Barrels of beers were being changed.
After our celebration, it was time for the turnover for Saphire. We went back to office to change into some comfy clothes.
I was surprised that HT was all ready to leave!
We had lots of fun moving and arranging the furniture. We worked till about 1.30am. Noelle asked me to sms HT to come on time for work since he was the first to leave and we're all coming in only at 12. Haha.. So evil but I did it.
The next morning, I sms-ed the counter staff that I'll be coming in late. In case they needa look for me... Then Royston sms-ed me saying that there's something wrong with the video wall. I tried to give him instructions over the phone but he didn't seem to understand. I gave up and asked him to call Pris. =P During lunch, Pris complained that she almost vomited blood when she tried to explain to him. She asked, "next time can ask someone who's not a computer idiot to call me?" Haha... =P

These few days, the whole of Faber TOOL was activated for the delivery of the Invitation Cards!
The deliveries started on Monday. I was having my half day leave. At about 12pm, I was chased out of office by DS. My destination was Harbourfront area. =D After completing my delivery, I had to go to the island to wait for Dickson to get my tickets endorsed. After endorsing, I went to One Degree with Omar. I really love talking to Sentosa Bus Drivers! Haha...
After everything was done, it was 5pm! Addy waited for me at Tiong for almost one and a half hour!
We were supposed to try our luck for the DHL Balloon. Before going down, I called them to ask if they are operating. They said they are NO LONGER FLYING!! What the...!! They said their last flight was supposed to be 30th September! What's the point of having the balloon there to deceive people? So diasppointed... =(
Tuesday was a crazy day...
In the morning, I was like a mad woman! I had to finish my roster because the whole world is haunting me! Henry kept doing countdown for me because I had to leave for the deliveries by 10am! After completing the roster, I had to laminate the sales kits! RK kept asking me if I'm ready or not. "If you help me, I can get these things done faster and we can leave.." I told him. Henry came to me and said he'll help me complete it. So, I packed my stuff quickly and we left in a hurry.
Luckily we rejected the ones at Jurong. If not, we had to run around Singapore!
I really don't understand why... When I'm in the office, my phone doesn't ring that often. When I'm out that day, my phone kept ringing!! It was more irritating when you can't give them the answer right away because you don't have the necessary information on your hand!
When we're at Ubi, heading down to Changi, I asked if I could go home for a while because Happy wasn't feeling well. He was ok with it.
When I'm back home, he wanted to use the toilet but I kept trying to throw Happy to him. He kept a distance from Happy and dared not step in. Haha.. In the end, he didn't manage to use the toilet.. =P
After delivering the last letter, we're still early. So, I suggested we watch a movie at Tampines! It's been a long time since I've went to Tampines! Since... ... I shall not say when...
We caught the show with the earliest time slot - Eagle Eyes. Throughout the show, I had to leave my seat about 5 times to answer my phone! =(
If I didn't have to endorse SOS tickets, I didn't have to go back to office! And I can get a lift back home since Tampines is still considered quite near to my house... =(
Wednesday was War! I went back to office to complete some stuff. Because of the deliveries the day before, I had lots of things to do. Early in the morning, I had to give morning call. It's to wake 2 of the staff up to ask them to start work earlier.
I planned to leave for the counter by 10am. But at 1030, I'm still unable to leave! =( When I was ready to leave, I saw a queue at MF. I had to call Mich to look for her. I stayed behind to help Dean a little. When Mich came finally, I rushed off to HF. In the Cable Car, I tried to finish my breakfast as fast as I could but failed. I was only half way through when I'm at HF. I didn't have time to finish it... =(
When I was at HF Battlefield, I spoke until I noticed a change in my voice! I realised that I don't sound like myself! When the crowd cleared finally, I went to rest my voice.
Thursday, there was a huge crowd at HF! Again, I had to leave my work aside and rush down to the counter! =( I wonder where all these people come from... In the end, we ordered McDonald's Delivery when McDonald's is just in the next building... -.-
Friday, it was almost lunch time. Noelle called and told me that there's a crowd at HF! Quickly, I packed my stuff, called Pris and Gab and rushed off to HF. On the way there, I was hoping that there wasn't any crowd. When we're at the counter, I said 'bye bye' to the both of them. There goes my lunch time again... =(
At about 230, the crowd was manageable so I went back to office. If I don't do that, I can't go home because of the stuff piled up over the days..
I have a bad feeling for today.. Hopefully everything's fine at the counters...
It's Saturday!!
It's another war for us on Monday.. We should enjoy ourselves while we still can...
