my boss and my fried colleague ::

my colleague got fried today. Goodness, I was quite shocked to see her tearing after the supervisory colleague left the office. I thought the latter scolded the former or something. But it turned out that my boss has dismissed her. I was at quite a loss. Didn't know what to say or how to comfort her. But thank God for my butch-like colleague, she intercepted our conversation and left me with no chance to talk to her again. Erm, not that I didn't want to talk to her, but I really didn't know what to say. Afraid that I might say the wrong things and aggravate the situation. :P But there was quite a lot of tension and later on.. resignation. Eh, no pun intended. She said other staff complained about her, on things she totally had no idea on. i.e she's working on airfares and they asked her about packages and she didn't know how to answer so she said she didn't know. Then lady boss complained that she had collected her pay from her while talking on the phone, which was deemed rude. Some of my other colleagues didn't like the way she defines her job scope - wouldn't do things which were supposedly out of her job scope. I thought her a naive interesting character because she was so keen on joining her bf in France for further studies and she's not afraid of sprouting profanities and smoking like a chimney. We sometimes shared jokes and lunch. It was indeed sad to see her go despite we shared totally different personality and ideals. And Im sure she's feeling very angry and bitter because she felt unfair that the boss would fired her simply because of a few complaints which probably were not her fault.

But during the evening, when everyone else had went home. My boss popped by to explain his circumstances . He said he had asked her to go simply because she could not co-operate well enough with existing staff and thus could not make a good team. He'd termed it as a personality mismatch and was giving me an analogy of a girl dating a guy and then found each other unsuitable. Then he was like, let's say you refused the guy a second date, then that guy threw a tantrum and said stuff like, I borrowed money to date you blah blah..suddenly ITS like ITS MY FAULT that that guy had to borrow money to go out with me. Man..I so totally agree with him on that scenerio, like I owe him a living or something. Haha.. Wait arh, I digress a bit.

There's this time, this guy approached me on the mrt and asked me for my number. Being nice and so as not to embarrass him, I gave him my number. Well, on extremely superficial sense, since he wanted to be friends then let's just stay that way. Nothing wrong giving a friend my hp number. Later in the day, he called and asked me out for dinner. But seriously, it was a busy week, so I couldn't oblige. Anyway, I couldn't be bothered much too, cos I would be happy to talk to him via email or something than face to face cos my time would be better spent on my dearest friends or watch a movie alone. AND he said I shouldn't have given him my number and thus led him on. AND he said I was EASY?! He's GOT THE NERVE! Being NICE can give you such adverse reactions!!! I shall be a meanie next time and act dao. F**K and spoons! He's lucky that I was a bit gong gong that day, due to lack of sleep, else, he would have gotten a smack on his face from me. On his BIG FAT BUNDLE OF GROOVELESS NEURONS no less.

BLARDY F**K + other cutlery! I earn more than you okay! IDIOT! Insult me one more time and I'll tell everyone that you have pimples and speech problem and ego for brains. Ooops.

Okay, enough of that imbecile, back to my boss. Yah, I don't know how to feel. Objectively speaking, both poeple are like correct leh. Anyway, work was so busy today that I didn't have much time to think about anything. But I think my work is quite enjoyable. It was as stresseful as my internship days, having to worry about deadlines and seeing all the codes swimming in my head.

Anyway, a new batch of IO students had arrived today. One of them thought I was one of them, cos I was wearing the school jacket. :P And he remarked that I looked like year 1. Oh no. Wang Laoshi commented that I looked like a 17yr old today too. She was quite surprised that the first digit of my age is a 2 already. Okay lah, shan't be anal about it. hahaa.. Im happy to be perceived as someone younger! HAhaa..after all they say a girl's age shouldn't be revealed you know. *smirk* heh.. Always good to look younger than current age. heh! *broad grin*

Today will be the first and last lesson with the China coaches. So sad..they are leavng soon. SHall miss them. Training with them is definitely different from training without them. You get this, Big brother is watching kinda atmosphere and you really really wouldn't want to disappoint them. And they can really teach you properly, give you more specific pointers and stuff. Hope i'll get a chance to train with them again! Bon voyage!

Lousy Gou bought me my birthday prezzie that day. I was overjoyed. It was like woah.. really liked it and everyone else I know said it was in good taste. Haha.. Good for me, a friend with not much fashion sense, in my favourite colour too! Really very thankful and happy!! Thannks Lousy Gou! Really appreciate it! *lalalala*
