OKAYYYY!! My last post was on 9th April. Wasn't that bad, though. I feel that this blog has been neglected for like 6 months? It's not the matter of having lesser time making posts, it's just simply due to my laziness. And now out of sudden I'm so motivated to write something after seeing some friends blog so often, don't they think sleeping is more fun than blogging? hahaha :) I do prefer to sleep rather than to blog hehe..
Okay, life has been fulfilling for the past few months. There were times when I was so down and sad, there were also happy times. Dad's heart bypass surgery was one of them. It has passed and I don't wish to remember those unpleasant moments. All I know is the surgery is successfully done and now Dad is leading a better, healthier, and happier life. He went to church last week. He said he's so thankful to God. He said he's very sure God is the one who made all these possible; a very dangerous yet successful surgery. He's moved my Mom's dedication to God, how she prays for him everyday, how she asked God to give Dad another chance, so that he can believe Jesus before everything's too late, how she takes care of Dad so patiently. Love is so beautiful. :)
Talking about work, it's my fifth month with the Bank. Everything is good, more and more paperworks which sometimes drive me crazy. But colleagues and boss are bunch of nice people. Recently there's restructuring in our branch due to quite a number of RMs resigned and one team head is also leaving. I am going to move to another team to support new RMs and will be having a new boss. Kinda upset to leave my current team (colleagues and boss) because we are just started getting closer with each other, but now we have to be separated into different teams. Never mind, WELCOME TO UOB!!! Heard that UOB always have this kind of restructuring, like every 6 months? What amazed me is the staffs' turnover rate, since I joined the team, 4 RMs have left. It's only my team, mind you. Not to mention other teams. All I know is I'm having farewell party every month since I joined the Bank. Well, life moves on, hope I can get along with my new team, new colleagues and new boss.
There's one of my RM, who is in his early 40s, I am very thankful for what he did. Ever since I joined the team, he has been taking care of me and treats me very well. My first impression towards him was not really good though. On my first day at work, my boss introduced me to him (since I'll be supporting him), he didn't want to, saying that he's busy and he just walked away. I had lunch with my boss and ROs, they said this guy is weird and everyone in office knows about his moody character. My boss told me to just ignore him if he's throwing tantrum towards me. I was quite scared at that time, my thought was I just want to have a good relationship with everyone at work and hopefully he won't scold me for no reason. But what was told is quite different from what I experienced. This guy treats me well, although he likes to tease me with some lame jokes and all that, I feel he's a nice person. His mouth may be bad, but he has a good heart. He often buy me lunch and snacks, till some colleagues come to me and said he treats me so nice. I told them perhaps because I'm the youngest at work, I'm like "xiao mei mei" so he doesn't want to hurt me haha.. But few weeks ago we quarreled over small misunderstanding, which shocked everyone at work. They couldn't believe that we quarreled haha.. He's the one who stopped talking to me, and he handed all the paperworks to another RO. And when that RO asked him, "Why don't you ask Ellyn to do?" Then he will answer with loud voice, "Don't want lah, my RO is very busy you know!!" and I was like what the hell! He's 40 years old but behave like small kid haha.. He's not married, anyway. Very weird chap. Anyway, after not talking to him for almost a week, I find it's very wrong not talking to my own RM, whereby he will go to other ROs asking them to do his stuff (which supposedly is my job), I sent him an apology e-mail. I just don't want other RO to be so busy with things that are not supposed to be their responsibilities. He didn't reply me. Shit! I feel he's so petty lahhh!! But the next day he replied me saying that he's in a bad mood because he's having some family problem + financial market crashed + having menses (he said that) hahaha.. But now we are okay already, although not really back to normal, still feel a little bit awkward for the fact that we were quite close initially but quarreled for a week.
Yesterday when my boss told me that I'll be moving to another team, I told this guy that it's my last time helping him doing his stuff. He asked why. I told him that I'll be going to another team to support other RMs. He's so surprised and kept complaining, complaining, and complaining in front of other colleagues. At the end everyone knows that I'll be going to other team. Shit lo. He texted my boss (who's out for meeting), saying that he's frustrated that his RO is going to change again. He's been changing RO for like 3-4 times already (see! it's not wrong to say "WELCOME TO UOB!"). He told me he will talk to our boss, and try to retain me in the team. This morning they had meeting, and the fact is still the fact, decision has been made and it's a final say. "Dear Ellyn, sorry that got to let you go and we don't have the power to fight for you. Wishes you have a good journey and we will surely look for you again for assistance and you cannot reject us. Sorry". That was a sms he sent me this morning. I almost cried, man!! I like this team so much because the people are simply nice and funny. But we don't have power to say no, so we have to follow whatever management decides. No worries, I'm feeling better now :) Move on, we'll still be in the same building. Thank you, Orchard Team 3 for wonderful four months. My RM, Andre and Joo Chiew, Angeline, Rieky, Evon, Carolyn, Chee Hian, Roger, and my two sweetest ROs; Faith and Pauline. Thanks for everything :) Shit, so emo as if I'm leaving the Bank hahahaha.. But really I feel upset till I dreamt about it last night. Love this team so much. Lastly, to Joo Chiew (the guy I mentioned in this paragraph), thank you so much! You are a nice person, hope you can find your soulmate soon hehe :)
