I have spent a lot of money ever since I got my pay.

Let us rewind back to last Friday.
My sister came to join me for lunch after her interview.
So I brought her to Black Angus at One Fullerton since I just got paid and it was my first lunch dining out that week.
Damn full but it is worth it.

Our starter

My sister order - pork ribs

My order - Salmon

My colleagues (except for our superiors) organize to watch the fireworks.
I wanted to join in the fun but I was not invited.
Until when we left the office together, they asked me if I wanted to join.
Delighted and surprised, I tagged along.
And it was spectacular.

Saturday, my department was sent to Marriot Hotel to attend the 2 days Trade Finance course. (The next one is this Saturday)
I love such courses.
You get to learn things for free and they feed you like pigs.
LOLX. Apart from the international buffet, you get to eat and drink during the breaks.

The cakes in the international buffet... (Of course there is a lot more)




Then Saturday night went to work at HFC, taking over Mad.
Sunday a bonus, I went all the way down to HFC and I don’t have to work.
So I called Mad out to shop.
And I decided to be a spendthrift just like normal girls for a day.
And I totally regretted it.
So let that be the first and last time.
I rather spend money getting gifts for others or saving up.

Yesterday I treat Kest to Ethan, a Germany restaurant as I promised.
The sausage is very huge. HAHA

And at night, FINALLY, k with Ken and Lia.
And we really looked like old people having lights out at 10pm. HAHA
We look so restless.

THE WAR
The first battle is the battle within the team.
I was in the safe zone because I am in a neutral position not involving with the project.

The second battle is the battle between the two departments.
I stepped into the middle zone, trying to pacify both sides and please both parties which is part of my daily duties.
I got bruises here and there while trying to be the middleman.

The third battle is amongst the department, the management and us.
I stepped into the danger zone and was warned to put on bulletproof vest.
But the warning came too late and bullets just hit me causing some minor injuries.

And sad to say, this is just the beginning.
In the war, you do not know where and who exactly is your enemy.
They put on masks and they may be just beside you.
It is a battle of wits and how well you protect yourself.
Everyone is pushing away and not getting the blame.
That is a big loophole for me to fall in.
Which I think the third battle I mentioned above will just kill me soon.
Prepare my tomb.

When people asked about how was my work, hoping I would complain to them, I chose to use the diplomatic answering methods.
It is not because I do not trust them or I do not feel comfortable telling them.
I just do not wish to break down in front of anyone or to trouble my naggings to them.
As usual, I am swallowing everything, hoping that they will just digest properly.

Another colleague leaving next week.

I want to be smarter than him.
