How to take it? Positive/Negative?
yes yes.. some of you have already been informed by me.I've been retrenched, immediate effect as of Friday, 13th Oct 2006.till then, will update later. very tired now. i really need to rest....
update reminder for ma-self
couple of updates:
1) Suppose to receive the retrenchment list yesterday. But due to watever issues @ HR side, we are getting the list tmr. HR is holding a conference call at 5pm SIN time tmr.
Soooo... we shall see my fate at 5pm tmr. Wish me good luck?
Hav heard news tt its one of my sales mgr who've gotten 'IT'. but den according to past experiences, the company always giv very shocking news at the very last minute.
(Latest Update 13/10 - Shitz! juz realised tdy is Friday the 13th! gosh....is that fated?)
2) Finally doing Lancome Roadshow! Will be at the new Vivo City this Saturday between 11am - 7pm, working at Lancome's booth. I dun reli noe the exact spot at Vivo City, also nv been there before, so gotta reach there early to figure out my way. Money for the 8hrs of work is actually same amount tt i will get for 1hr of makeup assig i source myself. But then its the frequency of work that I'll get from them tt I'm interested in. I also do use Lancome products, so hopefully can noe someone there and next time can get staff discount *rubs hands with glee*
(Latest Update 13/10 - The coordinator @ Lancome called me last evening to CANCEL my assig! My work is actually supposed to help out in a Fashion Show. But they cxl the show now, so we've got no job. sianz)
3) Mixed up one of my assig. Few mths ago, my cousin's wife ardy booked me to do makeup for her and her mum as her bro is getting married on 21Oct. Mum told me canot chrge too much for 自己人. So i quote her verrrry verrrrry low.
But I just checked tt I'm supposed to go KL with my parents on this day. Gosh! Hav to quickly find a replacement makeup artiste for her, wic is not easy to do, given the extremely low rate i quoted her. Felt so apologetic...Why everytime i travel sure kerna hav to cancel assigs?? Just on 21Oct itself, I cancel my cousin's wife's assig. In the morning, my pri sch fren also asked for my service on 21oct, but i cnt take it. Passed on the job to Ferene. very heart pain everytime i turn down a job. Cos my mentality is, once i turn down, i'll lose the job opportunity forever. haizz...4) Doing an Actual Day wedding on 23Oct. Client used to be my ROM client. Supposedly to be an easy job, oni her face condition no good. But after trial makeup last wk, reli sweat man.She din express her opinions during the trial. 2 nites ago then tell me she dun like to bun up her hair, and dun wan to do curls. but i cnt possibly giv her simple straight her for both day and nite hairstyling rite? And best thing, I feel she look verrry nice in curls!Den now hav to research all over again for other hairstyles. And if this is not enuf, she super not confident in herself. So even if I manage to show her sample styles, she wun be able to see how she look like in tt style, cos i wun be doing anymore trial for her.Gosh! can i hav any easier job for this??enuf of ranting. so tired now... nid to slp early tonite. my dark eye rings getting worse these days...
stupid haze!
blink blink!*rubs eyes*blink blink!*rubs eyes**reaches out for mirror to check*SHITZ! eye infection again!!when will tis haze thing ever stop?!?
the usual usual wknd
wknds as usual. singapore is soooooo boring, tho shopping places hav been springing up quite a lot lately, but i still prefer to shop overseas.anyway 1/2 of my wknds are spent on makeup assigs. interesting and also a source of additional income for me.last sunday went to do a shoot for a malay couple. lawrence is the photographer.
Top down:1)behind the scenes of a photoshoot session2) Lawrence trying to transfer images to the pc cos CF card full!3) The coupleActually tt dae is the guy's 23rd bdae. So the gerfren thought to surprise the boyfren by giving themselves a makeover photoshoot session.Quite natural posers. cos i dun see the usual rigid hands/body of 1st-timers.they hav been together since after O'levels. should be together for 7yrs, but they still behave very lovey-dovey. very nice~ wonder if i'll also hav such lovey-dovey partner after 7yrs together? or mine will be plainer than water?

All depts not affected, except for the sales team. wic means ME is one of them.all 11 of us on tenderhooks now.. no one hav got the mood to work.. even my reporting mgr is super pissed off and started to sleep on her desk... out for 2hr lunch etc.As her subordinate, duno whether shd follow suit. also duno whether i shd continue to work my ass off as usual. Final verdict aka The Deadly List shall be out ard next wed. Shall see then.shitz... my 1st company and been here for 5yrs ler. for them, i've turned down so many job offers, local as well as overseas.
