choco B SG

Takes more to get fat, and since she's skinny to start with she still looks ok with some weight on.

Rhonda SG

Yeah! I intend to! Actually today, wanted to ta bao the nasi lemak, return home and watch VCD as I eat but now, cannot even watch TV with the din. Crying or Very sad

Maybe, I go ask the workers when they'll stop drilling. Razz

Wanda SG

Fatum, can take fibregel and drink honey water.

Besides that, I guess u may need to eat regular meals, with sufficient fresh vegetables & fruits. Then coffee drinking shd not be an issue. Smile

Rhonda SG

Wanna go downtown, but just remembered that it's the dreaded school holidays and there'll be noisy, rowdy kids about, parents on annual leave with their screaming brats... Ack! Don't feel like going out anymore! Laughing

Rhonda SG

So interesting... last night, when I was with a friend at Gluttons' Bay @ The Esplanade, we noticed they had set up a nice tentage at the far end, nearer the Singapore River. The folks seemed to be having a buffet but it appeared to be a private affair.

Turns out it was Hewlett Packard's Boot Camp event! Laughing Sounds kewl! Must be some kinda training / teamwork-building workshop and that was their dinner treat!

Times like that, I really miss my ol' corporate life with those huge American MNC's! Razz

Rhonda SG

What really sucks is that there are only what... 3-4 folks I know in my entire workplace who share the same sense of humour! The rest just stare at me blankly, or totally ignore me (because I'm their 'junior'). Crying or Very sad

Previously, I had a bunch of colleagues on the same wavelength but since entering nursing, I just plain stick out like a sore thumb. Sad

Now, I frequently get teased about my English too. Sad

The man who was death SG

what abt your english?? accent??

Rhonda SG

Nope. But the majority are better in their 2nd language, and words that are common to me and that I use in my chit chat with them, astounded them and they started to say, 'Waaaah! Eng-ger-rish sooo cheeem one! Sorry, my Engerish not Cambridge one!' like that. Sad

Fatum SG

HP is a nice place to work ...... did a project with them in poly .... very nice corporate culture ... Razz

choco B SG

I hear working there IS boot camp.

Wanda SG

Inferiority complex?

The man who was death SG

maybe is not engrish cheem but not enough singlish, sometimes dun speak singlish ppl will think it's cambridge engrish

Rhonda SG

Oh yeah! And now, my ex-boss from Compaq is heading HP's Human Resources. Wink He was even featured in a local HR mag cause he won awards! So proud of him! Very Happy

Fatum SG

I dunno leh .... some of the people in the term were so impressed with HP that they went to work for the company after NS ... Razz

they are certainly performance oriented for sure ....
but i guess they are much better than say ... working in a Japanese or local company .... Confused

I've heard horror stories from other peeps on industrial attachment before ....
