Celebrating the colleague's birthday

Even though I'm not into the colleagues very much, still I hv to concede that they are quite catchy and fun at times. I remembered how the colleagues prepped the surprise for me on my bday last December, they were just too cute! I didnt mean to reciprocate, just merely have a simple thought to celebrate the colleague's birthday with others. Which brought the big grin to everyone after the bustling week in office :)

One of the colleagues bursted out the idea of having doughnuts instead of cake for M's small bday gala and none of us disclaimed the idea.
Thanks to Y who has ambled to J-Co and got those colorful doughnuts the day before. Much to our expectation, we were falling for those eye-catching doughnuts! We laughed to the max when we arranged to have her blowing out the never-die-candles. Haha.. We have a trendy boss who always partake in every feast. He is a our generous third boss :) I know that all of us always love celebration in office, it seized half of the day doing nothing, but eating, camwhoring and for sure kpo-ing. Hahaha..

Internal chaos amidst the boss' birthday

It was a simple and homely birthday celebration for the boss at office today.
Before we invaded the boss room with the cake and candles in hand, I have some discomfort with a senior coworker. It's too intricate to explain in this short post.
As the result, I know I shouldn't have to deal with this if I'll be the scapegoat in the end. I did dash to the coworker and questioned her in a non-confrontational manner (in front of others). She has her words to make me realize that it was my fault which led her do this to me. Small issue but it impacted me so much. Once is enough.

My born day

31 years of blessings, the 30th of December is my born day.
I was beaming with joy to get the so many layers of suprises on the very day.
Was granted several birthday wishes on the day before on FB, and a 12am text electrified me as well.

In the morning when I reached the office, I was appalled by the flower board which was performed right beside the main entrance door of the office!!! I was going O.H.M.Y.G.O.D!!!!
My name was carved clearly on the greeting board. It was enormous!

The translation :
Happy birthday to Wiwi Celcilia
From : Your secret admirer. Will be waiting for you at our usual place...

Don't you think tis is insane??? I was getting tickled and pee my pants laughing so hard after scrutinizing the wordings. Who the hell has sent this to my office???
Well, I was wordless and touched by what I had seen...
The friends made me feel like a queen of the day! The colleagues from various departments called me up and wished me a birthday. Say thanks to the sender of the flower board! LOL..

2nd layer of the surprise came when I was coming out of the toilet. I found my colleagues standing in front of the sliding door lying in waiting for me with the avocado mousse cake in hand. They know me too well! I love avocado mousse cake super much!! This has been the 3rd year we had avocado cake on concecutive 3 years of my birthday.
I was astounded with how things turned out. Lovely colleagues were all surrounding me, I felt loved.

Wat if we change position?

This issue brought a serious wound to her. It has been more than 30 days since the turmoil erupted in office.
I have heard enough from the "scape goat", this is how she depicted herself.
I know I never like her, I know her too well. All her rubbish traits disrupt me all these while. But on the contrary, seeing her to be treated unfair in the workplace made me pensive and think how if me and her change position? I bet this is a substantial obstacle for her.
Wat shud I do if I were on her position? Will I quit?

Office in turmoil

This post is linked to my some previous posts.

She was sacked last Wednesday. What a mammoth news!
Mind you, she is not forsaking the company.
I don't even understand what has been transpired since a year ago. The problem was brought up when she made a crucial mistake, a purely human error/oversight.

Anyhow, she is still my senior.

10 Oct'09

The boss summoned me via airphone tis morning.
Immediately, I grabbed a piece of paper and ambled to his room.
No new task for me, he simply passed me a memory card and this is one of those images transferred from his DSLR to my PC. :)
Will update more photos tomorrow.

Cud never ruin my weekend

The most irking person is working under the same roof with us. I am on vantage ground tat my job scope is not much related to him.
Tis afternoon, he infuriated me intensely. WTF!! His assistant, to whom I passed the memo has no idea how to tackle tis situation. She came to me with damp eyes, talked to me tat she has been chided by him. My memo to her was the subterfuge.
Well, he has been working with this attitude. I'll take down this note.
But no worry, he cud never ruin my weekend anyway. He is nobody for me.

It has been 2 days

Wake up in the morning is an excruciating errand for me. No matter wat time I wander off to dreamland the nite before, yet I still feel tortured when I got my alarm nag me up every weekday morning. So aftermath, I snatch a couple minutes every morning to nap in the car whilst on the way to office. I do sleep pretty sound.
Yesterday was my 1st day I got agitated by the commotion in the car. The colleague was yakking on the phone with super loud voice. She onli cut the conversation off a tiny second before the car stop in front of the office entrance. I try to understand. Closed my eyes constantly from the very first time I took my seat, but I was feeling haywire!
Tis morning, I was completely forgot wat has agitated me before, I took my seat as usual.
Oh my!
I heard her voice AGAIN!!!
She talk like nobody else was in the car, dread tat ppl wont know tat she own a mobile and able to chat on tis early morning. It lasted for almost half an hour. Sigh..

The boss' birthday

The colleagues and I strived to squeeze a lil bit time to celebrate the boss birthday last week.
This boss of ours has been portrayed as a witty leader, though not tactful enough at raising my pay. Hee..
We dread not him, we love to tease him. He is not a frump, he dons neat and colorful office outfit to work everyday.

On tat hectic dreary morning, he called me at my ext. Pleaded me to arrange a cake and get it delivered to our office. I told him tat he was a bit lag! We have called the bakery and ordered the choco mania cake for the celebration. All DONE! He chuckled and sniggered. No worry.. we'll pay for that as well!
Happy birthday, boss!! =)

One week after the lil happening, he called me again at my ext.
Birthday treat! Yayy!!!

Although not poor, the lunch was not decent either. I did not capture all the servings, as I was seated right in front of the birthday guy and a Thai guy. A 34 yrs old technician came from Thailand. My foreground looks multihued lah. *hahahaa*
I prefer Onma Tabo than any other Batak restaurant. Oh how I miss the grilled ribs..

Side note : I saw my ex there!

Someone wailing..

It was 12.30pm when I overheard lil din coming from outside, I found that it wasn't just a noise.
Someone was wailing outside.
I strode and went out in the balcony and found my colleague was squatting there, wailing over the phone (despite the searing weather). I cued to her tat her bawling was prominently heard from inside.
I created a fib to them who rang her up, told them tat she is not around and will ask her to call them once I got her back.
20 mins has slithered away, she came to me with her puffy eyes, treated me as her confidante...
I heard her intently and noticed how frail she was. Her hubby is not around with her and the 3 kids, he is taking part in a 6 months training session at outstation.
God are fair enough, if she named it.
She got an sms from her hubby last night, but the name and the content of the sms was obviously not meant to be hers. She showed me the sms..

"xxx (girl's name), you are looking prettier these days. That make me like you more"

Whoaaa!!!! Her hubby was murdering himself!!!
As my colleague is not a stupid lady tat will be easily eaten by her hubby. She is numb for any of his pretexts. She ransacked some informations from nowhere, and getting the lady's name correctly. That mentioned lady is there on the same training session with her hubby, sharing the same lodging as well.
I tried to solace her..
She cussed her hubby. Her bottom lip was trembling, eyes starting to water again..
I cant help much..

At the end of the day, she showed me the other sms.
"Hi, xxx (tat lady's name), I am (her hubby)'s wife. He talked much about you. I personally invite you to visit our house, come and play with her 3 kids. They are really cute!"

Oh mY!!!

Peoples say he is way too chubby for a one day old newborn. I reckoned so too!
I went "Aaaiiihhhhh..!!!" when received the MMS message from the mommy. She relayed the good news to us complete with the baby's name, weight 4 kgs and length 52cms. I ecstatically propagated the photo to the colleagues and bosses. Haha!! Abit exaggerating, but I like. ;p
Went to visit the mommy and baby after work, but we onli allowed to peep the baby thru the window.
We'll have to lurk until the 12th day then I can freely hold the baby in my arms.

My boss are generous

He is benign.
After his 8 days of an euphoria trip at Bali, I was gifted these necklaces and bracelet.
A little way too plenty for me.
Some of them have been gifted ungrudgingly to my colleague.
I like her idea tat she thinks tat I am benign too!! =)

The grandeur of the dinner

I was part of the grandeur of the dinner tat evening.

It was totally an awe-inspiring wedding dinner I have ever attended. Let me detail out the whole jovial.

Me and other colleagues were at the venue for the tea ceremony session in the morning. I grabbed the chance to spy on their romantic room.

*Those two wooden chairs with the dragon carving was the place where the relatives were obligued to sip on the tea and there were abundance of gifts for the newly wed couples underneath*

They held the wedding dinner reception right on the very same day.

Me and some of the colleagues were partaking in the committee board.

Tis is wat I cited as the "Grandeur".

The bride was performing her wonderful aptitute for piano playing.

And the groom was looking downright to her, but seemed pretty timid in the beginning.

Aww... Luo Man Tic!!!

The committee partners.

I selected to sit together with the shipping agency boss and managers.

They purposely came far-off from Jakarta to share the gusto with the couple.

Alena was one of those great performers tat evening.

She is a female Indonesian (chinese breed) singer, she is popular with her mandarin songs. Yeah, she aim the mandarin songs as her dexterity. She is vastly pretty in person. Slim and tall.

It vindicated that I am SHORT!!!

She escorted the couple through the aisle, with her mesmerizing voice (bubble effect made the ambience look even more romantic, too bad I didnt capture those sacred moments).

On her 45 mins intermittent show, she succeeded to hypnotize the guests with her amazing voice and tantalizing movement dance at stage.

Everyone heart her performance. (My boss paid IDR. 30million for her 45 min's performance. Is it worth the price?)

Heck!! Tis is the sole capture of me and her. But it came out blur!!

Again... I am tooooo SHORT!!!!

Pardon the narcissistic me.

*Take a closer look on my makeup. I attempted to work out with the new makeup artist)

Btw, how am I look?

A hefty lunch with the bosses and colleagues

Not in the mood to join them for a hefty lunch after the 3hrs meeting in town.
I am not delirious with Indonesian's spicy cuisines lately. Yet I have no other option, as if I have my own wheel to ride me back to office..
The fish head curry was about to lull me to sleep...(at the time 3pm-ish) Oh,mY!!

The 5th day of 2009

My lovely mug which always reap good comments from the colleagues broke to pieces tis morning...
I put it on top of dispenser, by then sauntered to my desk to get the sachet tea. Before I was back to the dispenser to brew my tea, a deafeaning voice exploded from the dispenser.
I am hundred percentile of certainty it must be my MUG!!
And it really was..... My colleague inadvertently has caused it drop to floor.
I dear tat mug of mine a lot. Hmpphhh!!!

A torrential downpour Saturday night

Reached to the end of the wedding festive, I was at Sheraton Resto for the last occassion in 鼠年. Beyond the drenched carton papers I used to shelter myself upon alighting from the car, I cud say tat I enjoy the dinner in accumulatively. (not saying about the foods, tat was totally out of standard!)

The biggest boss's son will organize his on 22nd Feb'09.
No staffs will be invited. Auspiciously I will be there in the function room for assisting up as the reception girl. =) Unassailable shud be a very massive wedding dinner.

First menu. (look nice, but not for the innards)

I think we'll bore to die if we failed to entertain ourselves.
Not in the pitch songs lulling us into a perception tat the performance on the stage never be a good thing to behold.
Tis chap really cute! But not supportive enough.. ;(

Need hundred times of flashes onli managed to capture his smiley countenance.
The more I fiddled around with him, the more I love his killing smile. Hahaa..
Hope tat my sis wont be bothered wif the background pic I put just now. =)

Envisaging to change to tis one after few days..

Still update on 31st Dec 2008

After the bday surprise, the colleagues bugged me for the bday treat. Haha..
Ought I pay off the debt tat prompt, eh?

On the last day of 2008, we still can hear the voice of the clogged card in our office.
So I arranged a lunch with the colleagues, all on my treat!
Out of my expectation, the other boss (not the one who played the game) was willing to join us for the luncheon in town. I was ecstatic! =)

Aiming for Fountain Cafe, ill omened, no seats available...
The boss voiced out his opinion at once... : "How about if we change another place? Sushitei maybe?"
I was panick!! Sushitei??? It was not the one I shud opt for the lunch! Recession mahh...
My boss somehow has eavesdropped my apprehensive mind. Haha..
He then blurted out : "Company will settle the bill. Its OK for celebrating your bday!"
My colleagues went thrilled! So did I.. Heheee..

Sushitei never succeed to thwart my appetite for their sushi platters and others.

Here are we with the fluorescent faces!!

Our last toast of 2008!! *So unglam!! It shud be using the glamorous wine glasses, not the ocha mugs!!

Is tis the other nice "BOSS" here?? Hehe.. Thanks, Mr G!!!

Have a fabolous 2009 everybody!
