You are invited to the SembCorp Secretaries' Nite on
Friday, 27 April 2007, 6.30pm Orchid Country Club
I received that email early this morning while checking my inbox.
This is my second year being invited by the company to celebrate Secretaries' Week.
I was struggling bad trying to adapt working in a container office.
Yup, i used to werk in a container office when i was based at Woodlands Stadium.
I enjoy werking at the stadium cos i was not desk bound.
Everyday i'll go out to schools within the Woodlands neighbourhood to conduct community outreach.
I get to meet lots of people and of course i even made frens with students way below my age.
Those adorable kids make my day each time i visited the schools.
I remembered once when we were conducting this major soccer clinic in one of the schools.
But this time round, the clinic was for the girls.
Yup, the girls played soccer.
I was werking my ass off for that project as it was the first held in Singapore.
Prof Ho was the guest of honor during the event.
Imagine 200 girls participating in tat clinic.
It was realli fun but at the same time it was taking much of my time as well.
I had to stay back late every nite just to schedule players for every session,prepare time sheets,name lists and many more.
The clinic lasted for 2 whole weeks and at the end of it i was a very contented woman.
It was my last contribution to the club before i take my leave for good to SembCorp.
I felt realli appreciated when the girls presented me with cards, sweets any lots of memorable stuffs on my very last session with them.
I kept in contact with many of them still altho 2 years have passed.
Werking in an open enviroment esp in a football club is actually a pleasure.
It took a lot from me as well.
As much frens i made during my stay at the club,
I made a handful of foes as well.
I was badly humiliated time and again.
Esp when i began dating a player from tat club.
I was like a drama in those serials u noe!
I was accused of snatching someone's bf away and not only tat,
I was even badly criticised on certain blogs as well.
I was not only labelled as a bf snatcher but it was written tat i slept with most of the players in the league as well. *sigh*
Even the way i look was an issue,
They claimed i look like a
burung kakak tua!! Heh.
Oh yeah, a trademark of me back then was being
boncit. N i was even labelled the boncit bitch at tat time.
Therefore, werking there was never easy.
I remembered crying to my boss as i was so blady affected by the whole issue.
He transferred me back to where i am now,
Being aware of everything tat i was facing back then,
He advised me to keep my feet on the ground and not back out totally from the scene.
He gave me a few months away from soccer and told me to fix myself mentally once more.
If its not becos of my boss,
I wont step my feet ever in any of the stadiums anymore.
He told me to face the truth and learn to ignore.
He told me my cheer girls needed my guidance and my help is still needed at the club.
And as a token of my appreciation to him,
I am juggling both soccer and werk at the same time at this moment.
Its not easy and im realli getting tired of it.
I can never forget the things my boss had done for me all this while.
Werking in a cosy office at Jurong Island and being able to celebrate Secretaries' Week like many others out there.
What do you suggest i should wear?
N i was told i could bring a partner along.
But i guess this time round,
I just received another invitation.
To become an usher for the nite. Heh.
Me? Usher? In my cheongsam?
Its time i try something new rather than blogging abt me heartbreaking rite?
p.s : dear sis muna, thank u very much for yr email. Yes dear, i need you to help me get myself nearer to allah. how i wish i could reach closer to you.. but yet Cairo is so far away. *sigh*
