i remembered when pb first joined the unit last june, she looked so goon and quiet. she is in charge of facilities and at that time, as we have just moved into RH, everything was in a mess. we always see her running around the place face green green and getting whack by the witch. din really have a v good impression of her (pple i always dun have a gd first impression usually ended up as my good fren... JC is one perfect example lol). i remembered going lunch with her the 3rd day at RH and she meekly asked me how i felt when i was in her position previously. at that point of time... i em chio and told myself "wah~ looks like this person wun last long LOL". but i was totally wrong.

this 'quiet gal' i first met 6 mths ago is actually fictitious. piang... she is actually the loudest person in the admin team. can hear her screaming her head off at the securities, at the dept heads and whoever causes problem for her along the corridor. but this gal is good... she noes her stuff well (god, pls tell me something she doesnt noe!) and is v v v independent! she is with us barely 6 mths and has already assumed the ringleader post *keke* she is v resourceful and my oh my... this gal is so quick in her work (u shd see how she toggle between websites, paint application, destop and finally outlook). such a genius pirate at work *oops!*. she comes to work even when she was v sick and helped such a messy unit past 2 crazy audits with more coming. she is so capable and reliable and i really feel good working with her. at least i can leave something to her and totally free myself for other stuffs. and wat makes me 欣慰 is this gal is v supportive of me in watever i do.

i was looking at her in a training session today (pls har... i am not changing target!) and i recalled she told me once that she broke off with her bf of 9 yrs cos she was not prepared to get married. such a pity. i think she is a v nice gal but simply too strong (not the physical aspect lah). she said she settled every problem by herself and most of the time, her ex doesnt even noe wat had happened. she cleans the bf's house, takes care of his parents and see to everything in her ex's life. but when the ex proposed to her, everything went wrong. she told him she's not prepared and that guy left her with another gal. *tsk tsk* i feel that (and have told her as well) no matter how strong a gal is, she must always act weak in front of the guy. not say act till totally helpless, but at least let the guy noe that he is needed lor. at least must let him comfort the gal all tt lah... make him feel man. i noe many people thinks i am a mcp but sad to say tts wat most man are lor. "if men really feels that 男女平等, how come they always feel oblige to pay after a meal?"... not sure where i came across this sentence but it makes perfect sense. u can tok till the cow comes home but sad to say, there wun be equality in sexes no matter wat. for pb, career comes first now... but from my point of view... is it really that hard to balance between family and career?
