__ Tuesday, November 14, 2006 ;

I was told by my parents that i was a sick child when i was young. Or shld i say when i was just born. Being the 1st child, my mum didnt really know how to take care of me. One day, this couple (my extended relative) came to see me and ... i dont know how, i ended up being looked after by them.
From my 1st month i think.. till i was abt 6 or 7 yrs old. I stayed at their house everyday.. even to the extend of not wanting to go home when my parents come and fetch me during weekends. I will always cry and find excuse to go back there. I wasnt close to my parents when i was young.

Ok, i call the couple my 'jiu gong' and 'jiu po'. Although i couldnt remember everything that happened in my childhood, bits and pieces of it is still there. Its amazing. I took lots of photos and was carried around so often.. i dont know how i learnt to walk. Haha..

'Jiu gong' and 'jiu po' had 6 children. 3 sons and 3 daughters.. Sons are gao jiu jiu, ah bing jiu jiu and fei jiu jiu. I was closed to gao jiu jiu initially.. but as he gets married etc.. dont know wat happened. But i can always remember ah bing jiu jiu. He is very crappy and funny person. Always like to disturb me but he's a very caring and kind hearted person.
Daughters are ping yi, chui yi(auntie jane) and chun yi. Ping yi took good care of me when i was young. I remember once i fell down at beauty world shopping centre and she was scolded by my jiu gong the whole day because she didnt hold my hand properly. Auntie Jane- i'm going to elaborate the last. As for Chun yi, i remembered she;s quite tempermental when she was young. Always locking up in her room and listening to music from her then walk man and i always dont dare to disturb her as 'jiu po' says she will scold. Haha!

Anyway, this whole blog is focus on one person.. and she's Auntie Jane.
When she was young, she's not very old now, only i think 14 yrs older than me? (my young means when she's 20+), i didnt know what she's doing. As a kid, i only know she wear nice nice to work and can come home anytime. I always ask 'jiu gong' and he will say.. she only need to sign papers and earn a lot of money.. haha! Until later, i realised she's working in sales. At that time, she's already very generous.. Buying things for me.. i remember a baby-G watch, and once treating me, my bro and 'jiu po' to a restaurant to have western food. That was her first pay(jiu po told me) and my 1st time to a restaurant for western food.

Things she has done for me:
1) I was caught for my brown hair in sec school (i have natural brown hair. Serious!), she called the principal and helped me to talk to him.
2) When i finished my 'O' levels exams and waiting for results to go into Poly, she recommened me to go work for her previous company.
3) She asked me to work for her after Poly. I worked for only 1 month and went over to work with my friend as admin in party world ktv (my wrong path starts from here). Didnt appreciate her and just quit like this.
4) I started business selling japanese food with 2 friends. It was so tiring, having to cycle etc. She and Kelvin uncle came to visit me. I will always remember Kelvin Uncle saying this:- this is so tiring. Dont work already. Come to my office and work.
5) Auntie Jane offered me work once again. This time is to work at all-in printing, her sideline company with another shareholder. I worked there for 2.5yrs.
6) Before i went over to all-in to work, i was jobless for 1 month.. Auntie Jane passed me money.. though not alot, but its really the thoughts.
7) She pays for my trip when their family and company went on trip.
8) She ...............

Elaborating on pt 3. I was really naive and unappreciative in the past. I regretted leaving JIC and going to work in KTV.. i regretted starting the business with my friends. I wasted abt a yr then. When i went to All-in to work, it was ok... however, i stayed mainly because of auntie jane. It's her business.. i dont want to let her down anymore. However, often i will turn back and think.. If i continue working in JIC, if i know how to think that time, i would like good knowledge of electronics and might be able to do sales or what now. I like working with her. She's an understanding person and will share/teach everything abt business. I remember telling stanrick i really regretted and stuffs, hoping time can turn back and i can work hard then. But he keep telling me to learn from mistakes and look forward. I did. This Sept 2006, i went to work for Peter (Chun yi's husband), because i was thinking of getting a marketing job. I started my Bsc Marketing in unsim in july 2006. It is a good environment, nice colleagues, good environment to learn etc.. But i really cant take the working hours. I have to burn both weekends, from 10am till 6pm, leaving me really no time for my family, stanrick, let alone studies. Furthermore, Peter's company is going well, more and more projects are coming, which means weekends burnt will not only apply for 1-2 months, but over the next few months, prob till june or july next year. Peter is also asking me to go learn accounts from chris and will want to sign us up for CEHA, to learn scope of property agent next year. I have 2 modules next yr, and i'm really tired. Additional thing, i feel i cant communicate with peter at all. Tried to tell him abt shift work, but he couldnt get back to me at all. What happens.............

I went to look for Auntie Jane. Told her my problems etc. I didnt expect she will hire me, but i always like to talk to her. Perhaps in my Bazhi, she's my power. I know one of her staff just left, but i really dont want to make things difficult for her. Had lunch with her and Kelvin uncle last wed and was so happy when they are both so encouraging. Auntie Jane told me she's interviewing someone for her vacant position. I thought i had no chance anymore. Why would she want to hire me? I had no experience in customer service, my record is bad.. the last time i quit after 1 month.. and i'm working for Peter. I kept praying or thinking of the positive side... what ifs????

She really did called.. Asked if i'm really interested. I'm given priority over others. Why? I really dont know.... i dont know why am i so lucky. I've been given 2 chance.. and not once to prove myself. I've been granted my wish of working for her at JIC again and its not a dream. This time, i'm gonna make sure i work hard and learn everything from scratch there. I'm not gonna let myself regret or let her down again. I've taken too much from her, this time.. i need to return her favours.. and its by working hard and fully devote into her company.

Just want to say thank you to you.. Auntie Jane and Kelvin Uncle. Thanks for always being there for me.

Hope everything turns out well.
