a little too popular, but i like it(:

well, yesterday was tough!
i was sick, and i had to rush out that M&E contract so they could call tender yesterday. went without lunch and had something to eat after i'd finished, and it was like, 5pm. hoboy, just a taste of what its like to be an assistant director huh. i'm not even an executive hahaha. so well, i spent most of the day at MMD (materials management department) coz they were the ones who woud call tender and stuff. i was pretty weak after all that yesterday :/ but hey i found out that i didnt really mind, or maybe i couldnt really bother, i could keep going and stuff. maybe when youre half dead you dont bother to think(: but it was fun, and the MMD people were really really nice(:
however, the engineers (the people i had to work with to check the contract and stuff) were lazyyyy man. i asked them to check so many times the past few days, they said everything was fine/dont want to check. they only tell me last minute that everything is actually not fine when we're past the damn deadline): like "oh you have to add this in, its important" when i'm finding it so hard to breathe already. their crappy half baked english is also the reason i had to check the contract and edit almost every line. like, they come up with a half baked contract and throw it at my poor boss who's already finding it so hard to meet all his deadlines. i mean, even if their grammar is screwed, couldnt they check for contradictions?
oh ya, there was this senior engineer guy who's pretty irritating (ai ling thinks he's super irritating) coz he thinks he's really smart, so i try not to talk to him that much, his lectures make me sleepy. well anyway, when i finally finished the contract and stuff and told him that my boss needed him to do his part to finish up, he told me "you know i think youre really cute you know? i really think youre very cute! i should have introduced you to my son!" (his son is about 1 year my senior from nj too) and i'm like -_-??? ok, i'm sick, starving, half dead, i'm sure it shows on my face, and he's trying to make new friends for me. right. oh ya his son's going to uk to study medicine. apparently he didnt want to study in nus.
well going on about making new friends, esther, my newly established godmother in the office told my boss that she'd like to matchmake me with her son if he didnt already have a girlfriend): oh mannnn.
i've also been getting a plethora of job offers hahaha. last time it was clinical services, now i've got sister chia asking me to help in her clinic, then i've also got yen who's heading corporatecomm even though her department is already quite full hahaha. oh and finance too. hmmm i'd actually like to work as a chef for fun ahhahaha but nobody's offered me that yet, although everytime i go deliver stuff to the kitchen i get free bananas watermelons and fruits. yumyum
anyway my boss is cool. he's too nice la. he kept asking me yesterday whether he could buy me something to eat, but i had no appetite for lunch coz i was sick): he actually wanted me to take the day off tmrw coz he said i worked very hard, but then there were problems with the contract last minute so i had to come back.
whatta week. at least i can relax now and talk to daniel in the us where its like 8pm(:
