On Tuesday, I went to work as usual. There was nothing much, except myself struggling to absorb all the information as much as possible. I went home at 8 and felt tired.
On Wednesday, my colleague taught me a new process… and they put me to be in charged of it as soon as they finished teaching. “So happen” that day was the day where the volume of the process got tripled… and I stayed until 11 without finishing even half of my work. I went home and worked again until 3am.
On Thursday, I needed to reach office earlier to pass them my work. I thought that I will pass a pleasant afternoon, but I was definitely wrong. We faced a lot of problem… and 3 of the 5 problems were due to my failure to warn them earlier about the possible risk, despite of my job to do the exposure check. I think they must hate me to the core… I didn’t do it on purpose, definitely. I was overloaded with all the information given, was too tired with the long working hours, which lead me to check on the wrong field instead. I know that shouldn’t be an excuse for doing the mistakes though… so I just tried to accept the consequence. Lesson learnt along the way =) I tried to go back earlier and did my PMO until 2am.
On Friday, I did another handful of mistakes (I’m not proud of it), some almost caused the bank to pay 3M for the interest rate. Everything was pretty bad but under control, not until I received the most shocking news of the month…
Our director resigned.
He resigned. The one who interviewed me, who accepted me, who said hi to me even before I started to work, who invited me to Townhall presentation, who fought for our benefit in graduate program, who asked us to claim for warm cloths, who always told jokes, who always brought food, who had become such a fabulous mentor, who had been working for 12.5 years.
I lost my composure when Kelvin first told me about it. I felt like I almost cried when he announced it during the farewell lunch. All these months, there were only 2 lunches together with him so far… Once was to welcome us. Now is to bid farewell to him. Wasn’t this too cruel?
It was so dishearten when I heard that he never planned to leave the company this way. At night after work, I felt unmotivated… I had dinner at somewhere near office (only by then I realized that day was Halloween), went home, and tried to accept the reality… I slept at 3, still on unbelieving mode of what happen this week. How easy can someone life change.
On Saturday morning, I went to visit Lily sis at Bedok. I felt bad of looking sleepy in front of her T_T she treated me lunch, brewed tea for me, and drove me to Bugis. She was so kind to me… so were her sons. I felt much more relax after meeting her. At Bugis, I went to pray and have some chat with friend. Afterwards, I went to Jess B’day party. Although the members weren’t completed, it was joyous to be together.
@Boon Lay with cute short hair lady beside me :p
We chat aloott.. from latest gossip until the current turmoil financial situation. I reached back home only at 12… and slept at almost 3.. (again =.=) There were quite a lot of ‘exciting’ things happening at our house.. Started from fridge broke down, washing machine can’t dispose water, stove can’t fire, internet can’t work… all thing seems to come together as one :S
On Sunday, I woke up at 12… Just when I’m holding my phone, my dad called. We talked for around half hour... a nice way to start my Sunday ^^ haha… afterwards, I ordered new gas tube, went showered, brought lunch, then relaxing for a while, before embracing another challenging week ahead…
Another month passes by,
ED
