Just got my promotion letter as well as the notification of the ex-gratia amounts that was given to me for my my work performance.
The amounts are actually within my personal expectation and according to my colleagues, the amounts given are based on the performance grade given. Well, of course, i do hear from other colleagues who mentioned that other people from other units do not appear to be happy about their bonuses. Of cos, expectations are personal opinions and they differ from individuals.
But this is a big event that most colleagues anticipate and it's also a indication of whether they are happy in the firm or should there move on to another firm....
Anyways, as promised with JP and THS, will treat them to something after getting bonus......And not to forget all the relevant purchases that I've planned with my bonus.... hehhheheh
Just yesterday, I bought a new 2gb mp3 player - Zen stone plus (white colour). It cost $99 which i thought was quite alright....See picture below for my zen stone plus...
Think it's a difference in the no. of songs between the new mp3 player compared to the one i own before this purchase. 128 mb vs 2 gb... hahhaha..... wonder how long it'll take for me to finish listening to all the tracks that i've loaded into the new mp3....
Just got my new haircut on saturday before the dinner meet-up with yun, val, mei and xuan. Thot of cutting my hair due to the my dried hair ends as a result of my previous perming and dying in addition to the terribly hot and humid weather.
But think my hair turned out alright.... hahha.... I tried asking for comments from my boyfriend.. but it seemed that he din have any comments since he had seen me with various hairlengths, from as short as boy cut to the longest length that i've ever had. hhehe...
The promotion list has just been released and congrats to all friends who have been promoted and bonus is to be based on the revised salary amounts since Jan'07. It's a good thing to hear that the bonus was to be based on the revised salary amounts, however, just wonder how many months will the bonus be? Still wondering how much will my bonus be this year cos i have some plans on how to spend it.... of course, the bulk of the money will have to be saved up... thereafter I would want to upgrade to a new handphone and maybe change to a incoming free plan, and also allocate a portion of the money for the purchase of my new laptop... well, have a laptop in mind actually... but currently is still thinking about the timing of the purchase... whether to get it at the PC shows if any at year-end or should i get it soon???
And also also considering if i should get a new mp3 player? such as the creative zen stone....but then again, there's still the consideration of colours.... judging from the various plans, it seems like i have rather materialistic plans for my bonus money.... hahahah..... i wonder if it's enough...
Since promotion list has been released today, i guess it's likely that the promotion and increment letters would be released on this Fri, the last working day of the month, just before the month of July. Well, hopefully can get good bonus for the year...
The weather wasn't too bright and soon after we board the bus at Eunos.. the weather continued to look gloomy and we decided that probably a day of activities to be enjoyed in a sunny weather wasn't going to happen.... Our tanning objective wasn't going to be achieved.... and sure enough, it started to drizzle and gradually emerge to be a huge rainstorm....
By then, we had already settled down in Burger King going to eat our lunch... and of course, did some mindless shopping i guess.... but at the same time manage to spot potential laptop model that i could consider buying..... well.. as to what my final decision maybe... may have to wait for some time in the future... after my bonus maybe....
but other than laptop, i also found my potential new phone model to get when i finally decide to change my mobile plan and also upgrade my phone. heehee... it's potentially going to be a samsung again... but this time it may well likely be a sliding phone... as i haven't made my purchase yet.... everything is not final....hehehe...
after some walking around, finally decided to go to Broadway to get zx's convo gown and where he also decided to get the photography package. hehhe.. Anyway, I noted that the new gowns have velcro on them to help ensure that the gown is neat and the gown "sash" is not easily moved...hehz... which is something which i din have during the time when i was convocating.... anyway... Since zx is graduating, we were going to realise our promise to have a convo pictures taken in the studio.... hahhah....
By the way, been getting quite restless at work... haven't had the drive currently to push for work excellence...ahhaha... wonder if it's due to the want to have my vacation soon..... and training to going to start soon.... i definitely want to get some rest and holidays soon..... but i wonder if my planned holidays need to be adjusted... hehhz... currently just struggling to wait for my first 2 weeks of holidays to arrive.....
This is another personality test which i read from another friend's blog which I've tried and this is my result.... fellow friends can also try it too... hehhhe...
I guess some of the character analysis based on the pictures that i've selected do sound quite similar to what i think my character is.... so do try it out... hehhe..
Yupz... it's a new blog skin... but this time I've reverted back to the blog templates available in blogger instead of using the other blogskins that others have created and also the anime skins that I've previously used... hehhe.... guess I'm just a little too lazy to do any editing and searching...hahah...
Anyways, I've recently started another blog on my hobbies (趣味 pronunced as shu mi ) and have already posted some entries le... hahah... Friends or anyone who has the time can pop around and post some comments.....
Ok... it's slowly moving into the off - peak season... so think I should be able to post more blog entries... hhaha....meaning more time for me to do some self-reflections and also to do some planning.... still awaiting for holidays to come....
Since the start of GSS, have bought quite a couple of items and I do foresee that I'm going to buy some more items... hahah....Probably some more clothes, shoes and bags during the sale... of cos, i need to declare that I'm still in the search of a one-piece dress.... hahaha... Haven't seen anything that has prompted me to buy...hahah...
And for the past weekend, I also managed to get some time to surf youtube to catch up on some domoto kyoudai videos that others have uploaded. For those who may remember, before channel u there was a subsidiary channel set up by medicorp that airs the programme and also other jap programmes which was pretty short-lived. Essentially, domoto kyoudai is a variety programme hosted by kinki kids and they have guests on their show and they talk to the guests and get to know them.... Usually, kinki kids would have quite a few funny moments and funny talk.... and also interaction with their co-stars... Really kinda missed those days where tv actually aired these programs...haha....
On youtube, i managed to find a music video for this old english retro funky track called "mama used to say" by Junior. It's a funky tune that props you to lighten up... and actually the message in the song is kind of meaningful too... the chorus goes " And mama used to say, Take your time, young man... Mama used to say, Don't you rush to get old... Mama used to say, Take it in your stride... Mama used to say, Live your life... "
Can try listening to it on imeem..
Think this post is kinda long... well wait till my next entry... think i may have more to write.. hehhee
