Life @ Penjuru

Penjuru is where my office is situated. It's in the west, somewhere near boon lay industrial estate. It's hidden behind a reservoir and not many people would have heard of it (unless you have customers whose offices/warehouses are in this region). There're blocks of warehouses and factories. Large vehicles such as containers, trucks and trailers ply the roads in Penjuru. Some old factories have weeds growing all over the outer walls. Not exactly a glam place to work in.

My company rents a warehouse space in a particular building along Penjuru Rd and my office is smack in a corner of the warehouse. You'll get to see lotsa of different characters as they go about each day's activities. Forklift drivers who speed around with pallets of goods, thinking that they're driving ferraris. Production girls giggling like little girls as they make their way to the common washroom located outside the warehouse unit. Storemen chain smoking along the staircases and smoke stands staring at girls with their X-ray vision. Truck/Container drivers trying to maneuver their vehicles into a tight parking lot while trying to avoid smashing into the row of parked cars. Smart looking sales people popping by to discuss business.

It's an interesting place to work in if you look beyond the dirt and grim. Have offered a different perspective of my working environment instead of my usual complaints. haahaa... read a friend's blog lately in which she mentioned about trying to look at things from a different angle. It's quite refreshing to see what one can find. :)

Ai De Jiu Shi Ni!

saw wang lee hom yesterday in real life! he's very very very HANDSOME!! wah...much better looking in real life than posters and cd covers. breath taking! was furiously craning my neck for almost an hour in order to catch a glimpse of him at the 88.3fm outdoor recording studio. there was a huge crowd there as well. as i'm writing, he's busy autographing his latest album @ IMM.

more and more friends are getting onto the 'blog' wagon. decided to take some time to tinker ard my blog. prob add more pictures as time goes on else it's rather plain and boring. been a while since i gone out to take photos. one of my juniors recently bought a digi cam so prob can jio her out to take photos! it would be fun. :p

grumbling...

has been ages sice i last posted something here. my desktop's a little cranky so it's hard to predict when it would be stable and not auto shutdown by itself. haha...

had an outing with my section yesterday. only a few of them turned up. i guess as time goes on, pple tend to lose contact with each other. it was fun to see them again once in a while.

weather has been really hot and humid these days, esp with the terrible haze. could smell the haze in the evening time. once i step out of the bathroom, i can almost instantly be "sticky" again. yucks, dun like that feeling!

regarding my job, gonna start looking out for something else. over the past 2 weeks, i've uncovered a lot of politics and seen the true colours of the mgmt. it's quite shocking but i guess it's very common in workplaces. happens that mine's a local co, so i guess it's more prevalent. hardly there for a yr and i'm thinking of quitting. that's not a gd sign. fortunately i'm not the only one with such feelings. guess most pple are waiting for the bonus before throwing the letter. let's just wait and see.
