On my way to work this morning..
I received an sms from..gasp!
Alfred.
He's one of my ex collegue from expo.
Just a simple msg asking me how i've been.
Short and sweet.
He nv fails to msg and ask abt me once in a while admidst his busy schedule.
Really nice huh.
I'm pretty touched by this small gesture and at the same time,
I'm happy that he cares.
That made my day =)

He was one of my happy memories in singex.
I miss hearing 'good morning pam','hi pam' from him.
Also miss the times when i could happily walk into his cubicle and
Throw my tantrum and grumble and whine incessantly
With him just there to listen, comfort me or make me laugh.
I like how he was always protective against me whenever someone tried to 'take advantage' of the situation.
And also how he'll text me an encouragement msg after a rough day at work.
I know this is totally irrelevant..but he was acsian all the way!
Ha! I like.

The girls thought he liked me then.
But i think its more of a brother doting on a younger sis kinda feeling.
He made me felt very appreciated though i was a mere temp receptionist.
Being the international sales manager, i gotta say he has very high EQ for someone of his status.

I expected things to be fun in this norwegian company that i work in currently.
Like with so many ang mohs and all.
But it didnt turn out anything like what i had expected.
I guess its the nature of the job.
Think offshore oil rig drilling.boring stuff.
And also the ppl here.
Theres too much of an age gap.
Theres only a few whom i could connect with.
One of them being the HR manager.

She's Miss Gan.
Petite lady with distinct oriental features black silkyhair and an impeccable dress sense.
She shared with me alot of her experiences growing up as a young adult.
Her work experiences and how she climbed up the corporate ladder.
Her interesting love life with pilot engineers and office romances with collegues and bosses.
Also how she juggled work and family.
All these and she's only 30.
Inspiring.

Coincidentally my prev HR manager was also very chummy with me.
And i've learnt and acquired quite a fair bit whilst talking with these 2 managers.
They're not the least hesitant about sharing all those information with me.
I guess thats one of the traits of a HR personnel.
It helps alot considering that i'm gonna be taking HR management as one of my electives.
After seeing it for myself and receiving all the 1st hand information,
I wouldnt rule out venturing into the field of HR in my careeer later.
Worth giving it a go!
