My Princess Diary

CaN'T bEaT tHeM, JoIn ThEm

wanted to do an update of my morning blogs in the morning
but apparently, office network dun allow me to do so
got error message popped up:-
"all internet movement are under monitor. do not enter site. if u choose to enter, it shall be reported" (it goes something like tt lah) =P
sounds so serious, so i dun want to attempt to be reported lor. afterall only 3 weeks here nia. but J and i felt tt we have been here for like years!!!
muahahaha =P

she is still giving herself some time to get adjusted to the environment
i told her abt an article i read in the weekend paper.
"if u can't beat them join them" lolz
the article mentioned tt when u first join a new environment, u might not be used to the culture and might have culture shock!!
ppl go to lunch and have extended lunch not like the previous co u worked in, where everybody goes on the dot and back on the dot. so u just have to change the mindset and dun need to grumble or "man yuan" just follow suit lor.......tts why "if u can't beat them, join them"
most impt is dun lugi lor ( this sentence i added one)
she totally agreed with the article
and i told her the most impt thing is to change the mindset and try to accept the way the ppl work here
told her if staff go for breakfast at 930 and back by 10am, if we want to , we can also follow suit. if not, we just keep quiet and do our work lor. no need to complain one...
i do want her to stay. after all, its only her and me lor =P

she needs to prepare 2 tender docs by this week ( i think) so just now she was reading thru the draft. i told her "forget abt the specs, not our perview" (how do u spell it?) hmmm...told her to go into the FOT, ITT, PRELIM, etc. giving her the shortcut way. which section to read and which to ignore as most of it are standard so tt she will feel tt "its an easy job" imagine she go thru the whole doc??!!?? faint can lor.

last time i also never go thru all one lor. coz its the standard. i just amend those items tt suit the project. so its actually not tt tedious lor. even the PM also know where to SPOT OUR MISTAKEs!!!! hahaha.....=P which is also good lah. our QUALITY CHECKER. coz u know lor, we then to use a previous project and amend to suit our own. so human not perfect lor. so tend to make mistakes. got ppl to check for us. goodie goodie!! =))

can only help in a certain way, the rest is for her to adjust... =))
