This email was sent by an admin personnel becos tat stupid idiot kept going to eat the food meant for participants…so cheapskate..
Dear All,
As you are aware, we do organize seminars and events regularly on 21st floor, sometimes co-organized with outsiders. Food is usually catered for the seminar participants. Please note that staff can also share in the catered food, but only after all the seminar participants have had their share and have left the premises. The organizer/person-in-charge of the seminar/event will inform our staff of this. Thank you for your co-operation.
This email was craft by his boss and sent thru another colleague’s email..
And guess wat? Tat thick-skinned guy was so oblivious he went to “shoot” email somemore *faint*
All colleagues,
In most circumstances, organizers have too many things to take care of and will not inform our staff of balanced seminar food. To prevent unnecessary wastage of food, you are encouraged to share in the catered food at these time slots:- Seminar lunch – 1:30pm (if you can fasts for that long); Tea breaks – 11:00am & 4:00pm. These time slots ensure that seminar participants have already had their share of the food and proceeded to the seminar room/left the premises. If the seminar organizer happens to be some other organizations, please show your courtesy by asking for their permissions first. Please note that seminar organizers & participants have absolute right over seminar food. Beginning from 2/10/2006, we will have a new cleaning team to service us and I will instruct them on what to do with the balanced seminar food (on seminars organized by us). Thank you.
haha and he gave us official break times..
Ying – tink u might b d only one to really understand this n d previous entry save for my dar dar hahah
ARGHHHHH stupid uncle
4:27 PMThis guy really pisses me off.. BIG time!!
now i noe y this colleague is so hated by my colleagues!! ARGH!!
Sent the following email to 5ppl.. for no good reason
Subject: Missing Requistion Forms
Dear Colleagues, The following requisition forms are missing. Seek your co-operation & understanding in returning them to me as there are invoices to be processed.
Form 06/08/028
Form 06/07/038
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Now, we have a system of signing for the requisition forms that we take. So it is stupid of him to send this kind of email.
I replied him since I was included in the email, he should ve only sent the email to the person who has signed for the req forms! N he should ve indicated who was the one who took the forms.
Kristian, I thought it's noted down in the file who has taken which req form?
Can u pls check the file? cos i dun think the forms are with me. Thanks
Daphne, Form 06/07/038 was signed by Tommy. Form 06/08/028 has been traced.
Kristian, Wat invoices do u have on hand for this req form?
Kristian, Invoice from *printer coy* of amt $420 under this req from has already been paid. So the req form has definitely been submitted to Admin before
Daphne, The invoices are from *venuevendor*, amounted to $6,783; & *printing coy 2*, amounted to $999.60. Lesson from previous incidents is they will chase you & then Jenny, followed by me ……………………..
Accounts who was included in the email :
Hey daphne, *venue vendor* not process coz it’s with him. then he keep quiet until today.
Wat a word to use….”traced” how he came up with that word? He should have voice it out when the found the req form missing. Irritating.
Another colleague who was included in the email :
I see his reply, I want to vomit blood le… Ur first reply is obvious that the original req form is not with us and he want to share his lessons with us….y this batch of admin staff “so smart, so beautiful, so handsome”….
And guess wat? After my last email he never reply me anymore…
Accounts: He lose liao mah. Remember the last time? You shoot him, then he neva reply. Then he walk to you and ask if doris got reply u. Siao huh? u r replyin him not doris. Then he’s like pushin the blame to doris. He lose liao then push to doris.
This guy is really damn irritating.. always trying to push blame to others..
shesh..

Hello, I am Alvin...
11:46 PMBefore I even start on this post, I am please to announce that I have deleted some of the earlier posts I have posted. Reason being, I don't see the point of all those soccer entries in our blog. Remember I was saying in my very first post, that I hoped our blog would be one that when read, you won't feel you are wasting time. Hence, the decision to delete those "wu liao" soccer posts! Haha...Recently I discovered a problem in me. I start to ask myself - "What am I actually like? Am I an extrovert or introvert?" To my secondary friends and poly friends, I am perhaps extroverted but to my colleagues, army friends, my classmates at MDIS and baby's friends & parents, I am perhaps introverted. Why does this "phenomenon" occurs? Among my close secondary school friends, with the exception of YY, I am perhaps the more loud & daring chap in the group, always finding ways and means to crack a joke to liven up the mood or to start a conversation. But I seem like a different person with groups other than my close secondary school friends and close poly friends. Ask my MDIS classmates. Some have even branded me "dao". Others like baby's close friends refer me as "wood", which I found out recently. I do not know whether to laugh or cry at this newly-found nick. Haha... As much as I would like to know the reason to the occurrence of this phenomenon, I really think that the chances of me finding out is 0.0000000000001%. Perhaps the only way I could "console" myself is the saying “真心的朋友不需要太多，只要几个就足够了。。。“ (You will only need a few bosom friends in your life) I am actually happy that I have more than "a few" bosom friends that I have met in my life so far. To Chuyao, Don, Douglas, Huiguang, Joseph (my mentor and brother), Shiyong, YY and Yiqing, thanks guys for all the help rendered when I was seemingly down and out... To have known you all is my honour and may our friendship stay strong forever! So I guess I will still be that "dao kia" and "wood" for quite some time to come to the rest of my friends... Sincere apologies. Cheers!
Overlooked
4:16 PMColleague A,
The flyer was given to us on 4 Sep. Colleague C asked IT to convert the flyer into HTML on 5 Sep, which was ready on 6 Sep.
I apologise for overlooking the sending of the flyer as we were busy with events on 6 & 7 Sep.
Yesterday when Colleague B called me to ask about the email blasting, i told her that i will send it out yesterday forgetting that I had already sent 3emails to the server prior to her phonecall.
1) Employment Relations' Legislation Workshop Series (18, 20 & 28 Sep 06)
2) Business Mission to Changsha, Hunan Province In Conjunction with the Expo Central China 2006 - 25 - 29 Sep 06
3) Seminar on Mergers & Acquisitions Law - 28 Sep 06
CA expo was not included as there was no way the server would have been able to send all four jobs out yesterday.
The server only managed to send out 1) & 2) yesterday n 3) was only sent out this morning,
thus the CA expo email was only sent out today.
As the other 3 events are in Sep whereas CA Expo is on 31 oct, priority was given to the other events as the numbers are very low.
My apologies for the overlook.
Regards,
After my boss read the email, she said.. oh event in oct n late by a few days (today's 12 Sep) only ah aiya... ok wat.. n replied..
"Typically would have sent out by 8 Sep.
In this case a little late by two days due to the unusual workload.
Colleague A – we have also sent for faxing becos we were under impression only email since there are so many pages and would be costly. Else typically, fax would have gone out first since no need to change to HTML by IT. "
she dun even bother to ask me wat happened b4hand..
hm... eh no la she did la she did ask me why didn't send but my com was down n i had no way of checkin the dates of when we receievd the flyer, etc. so i told her i'll chk n get back to her once my PC was workin.. after that Colleague A called her again to make noise n my boss told me to fax out n tat Colleague A wans a black n white explanation haha
so... was she leavin me to fend for myself? maybe she tot it's nth...
dun get me wrong i realise that i was at fault, i dun even have any answers for myself as to why the email blast wasn't done..
come to think of it maybe my boss really tot it's nth.. a small matter only... cos if it were another dept i tink she would ve been more concerned and she would be the one draftin the explanation. haha... dunno y... feel very tired today... maybe cos i realised there's quite some stuff i have got to do... some stuff which was handed over to me to do when a colleaue left.. n also the knowlegde of knowin there would be some things that i would ve to *re-do* cos the colleague who left didn't do a gd job n is not meticulous AT All... wait ba... wait till i have the time to sort things out ba...

I have a dream...
2:34 AMEver thought of what have you achieved in life? I do... And I am sad to say that I have achieved nothing in my 26 years of life. I saw a blog of my friend, Long-ge, recently and his profile wrote, "Hitting the big 30 in a few yrs time and I still can't figure out what I want to do." Bro, you summed up my feelings as well.
Steve Jobs became a self-made millionaire at the age of 24. Some people might say you can't compare with people such as Steve Jobs and USA is such a big place, which means more opportunities. True to an extent, but with the advancement of technology, isn't the world getting flat? Doesn't it mean opportunities are everywhere? It's just a matter of whether you manage to hop onto a particular bandwagon or better still, controlling the bandwagon. I dream of starting a business. A business with either my close friends or my baby or a combination of both. I mentioned to Long-ge about this before and he highlighted to me his biggest worry - money might erode our long-standing friendship.
It is somehow true that when friends get into business, their friendship will be on the line. Normally, nothing of this sort will happen if the company is successful unless people are greedy and are not happy with their share of dividend. Problems mostly come when the going gets tough. I do have a naive way to answer Long-ge's worry - "just make sure we are damn successful!" Naive because no one can guarantee success, more so in business context, and it is easier said than done. In any case, I haven't really get to speak to my kakis about the possibility of starting a business and I don't even know the nature of the business that I want to be in. We shall talk about this over coffee someday. In the meantime, I shall continue to....
dream......
