The making of the new 陈府

Went back to new house on 31 Aug to see if they have completed all the stuff we have mentioned. Still there are some stuff not done, but they have cleaned the floor. Which means I have to clean the floor again loh.... wasn't very happy with some stuff and have a little argument with my ID.

Anyway the house should be done by next week, some of our furniture will be delivered over next week end. 

So far what was done? Living room is 90% done

The making of the new 陈府

Arranged to meet the curtain uncle at new house on 29 Aug after work, I was super tired after the course. Luckily uncle offer to send us back to ubi so happy. Finally settled the curtain, I was so worried it can't be settle before the stuff is shifted in. Heng Uncle say recently not much job think it's becos of the 7th month ghost festival. Uncle is taking business slowly, he wants to enjoy his life as now he did a lot of volunteer job too. Wonder if I can still be like him at his age.....

Anyway back to our new house, most of the stuff are done. We are finally seeing the end soon, but progress of the last few stuff is still very slow. 

What was done when we where there on 29 Aug? The toilet stuff are all installed.

Office happening

This year there has been lots of stuff happening in office, lots of unhappiness. Luckily our promotion team is still doing well, luckily I had a very good talk with the working partner. Well after the course I tend to understand how I should be communicating with colleagues. Of cos hopefully I can really use what I have learned. 

Just last week a new marketing girl joined, just only within one week she seems to be able to see the problem of the marketing manager. Well she also has been struggling to leave or to stay. In the end I think she has chosen to leave, as we saw her talking to the division manager last Friday. We all thought the last one that left 2 weeks after started work was the fastest record now this one even break the record! I wonder how will the management think and arrange. Personally I think all the arrangement that was done the last 2 weeks are just waste of time. 

So now it's back to square one~

On course ~ 27 Aug & 28 Aug 2013

Company have planned a 2 days course for every full time staff in the company, everyone has to attend base on schedule. Had heard some feedback from colleagues that have went last few weeks. Finally it was my turn to attend this week...

Was told to report at 8.30am on the first day, I reached Tanjong Pagar very early but I lost my way. Only manage to reach around 8.35am but heng I'm not the last one. The course is actually quite fun but the negative point is it's too tiring. The first day they only let us have to lunch at 1.45pm I nearly fainted and gotten gastric after that. In between there were break time as well as fun activities that keep going. 1st day ended with a assignment that each team have to come out with a dish. So no choice we have to go shopping for ingredient after the class ends at 5.30pm. 

Our team photo on the first day of class, luckily I still know 2 group member. One of them is my food department manager which I have to work with him sometimes. The other one is a cashier staff from Sports Department, know her because of the packers duty during X'mas. So I wasn't that bored over the 2 days.

The making of the new 陈府

Last weekend went over new house nothing was done, kind of disappointed so I was worried to see the same situation this weekend. Crystal asked me if I will be going to new house this weekend so we went over to her house first as Hubby want to see her place too. Her little girl Xuan nearly cry when see hubby coming into her house as usual she is scare of all Man....haha

We went over to new house with Xuan, as many Chinese believe new house need to bring small kids there if they cry mean the new house is not "clean". Heng ah Xuan never cry she even have a very fun time at our new place!
