yesterday was a good day and today was a bad day.

Yesterday: The highlight of my day came at 11pm, when my colleague and I enjoyed roti prata supper at The Roti Prata House near her place. It's been a LONG time since I had late-night supper with anyone; so chilling out (albeit after a REALLY long day at work) felt really enjoyable and memorable. Coupled with the late night drive on the highway, I suppose it also brought back fond memories of driving at night and occasional late night suppers at Berkeley. Since we had a SERS announcement today, my colleague, the OIC for this site, had to give a briefing to GRLs yest night. I was supposed to help her set-up the equipment and stuff, but ended up staying for the whole briefing as the chinese ppt operator cum clicker. :P Thus ended up skipping dinner... But it was interesting to witness the entire meeting, chaired by my DD and Adviser Mr Arthur Fong. Was particularly impressed by the MP, cos he was REALLY personable and appeared very sincere. Showed no airs, and extremely patient when explaining certain aspects of SERS to the grassroots leaders... though it was a brief, one-off meeting, he easily earned my respect...

Today: Got called back to office to work on some urgent matters, and other depts were not very cooperative in assisting us by giving inputs urgently ( that's what ppl are usually bu4 shuang3 about)... Even got like a mild hung-up by another unit head..! so uncalled for. everyone deserves some basic respect and even if you are busy/tied up/stressed with something, it doesn't give you excuse to behave as such. However upon reporting this to boss, led to some shooting of arrows among bosses... Jing1 cai3 but pretty scary... Also had to deal with another unhelpful case in which other depts' this-doesn't-fall-in-my-work-area attitude resulted in unnecessary back-and-forth shoving of responsibility. Then spent my last 2 hours at work nicely doing up a table for boss. Seriously drained now. Need a holiday again!
