My transfer.

Ok guys, here's the story..

It all started from last last Tues -

B for boss
Me for me
A for Auntie L (who was also my mentor)

B: Hi Bess, we have a great offer for you.. something really different from what you have been doing.. and trust me, you will learn alot.. much more than you have been learning so far. We have all thought about it, you are a U-grad.. shouldn't be wasting time doing what you are doing.. Are you interested to try out Litigation at our Main office? You will be working directly under one of our partners - OBL.

Me: Er...

A: It will be a good option for you. If its other lawyers, I may not encourage.. but if its OBL, I think you will really learn alot of things there.

B: Yah.. OBL is very knowledgeable.. and he is just like a walking Law dictionary.. you will benefit alot working under him.

Me: Hmm.... I'm ok.

B: Wow.. really? I'm surprised you agreed so readily..

Me: I would like to try something new anyway..

B: Great... very good! That's the attitude.. (to A) See, thats's why I always say.. youngsters are very adaptable and they really have very good learning attitude.

A: Yes.. (nodding)

Me: I love challenges.

B: Ok very good.. It's definitely going to be VERY challenging, so i need you to wrap all the cases that you have in hand.. you will need to clear whatever you can do for now and I want you to pass ur files out by tomoro..

Me: Tomoro???? When would you like me to move over?

B: Asap... I'm looking at Thurs. (2 days later)

Me looking astonishingly at A.. (wtf?)

A: Ermm I think it's better for her to start next monday. At least let her start on a new week.

(Me nodding hard....)

B: Ok lar, so it's set. Next monday you will move to the main office k. I will call OBL to inform him about the good news.

Me: Ok, thank you Mr XXXX.

The end. The end to my happy, carefree life in Toa Payoh Office.
But its also the start. The start to my hectic life..
In simple words.. Its from Heaven to H.. erm.. I mean Earth, back to earth.

Fyi, the main branch is well-known for the residence of many famous kungfu masters.. Namely, the Viper, the Praying Mantis and the Tigeress(es). You will know what I mean if you watch Kungfu Panda.

The Advice from Many: "Never step on their toes or give them a chance to step on urs".

Thus explains why I haven't been able to come online to update my blog for SOoooo long! (I used to do this during office hrs.. heehee) Now I'm scared they catch me!

Back to the political world...

I was lucky they put me into a "chamber" of my own.. until the current secretary moves out of OBL's office. So till now I have made less than 3 friends, after 6 working days (that's quite a record man!).

Well, on my 1st day of work.. OBL told me ALOT abt why he wants to replace his current secretary.. and I'm like "huh.. why she like that??"

After more days of working, I came to realise that his current secretary is actually not that bad really! She's quite knowledgeable and good in her work.. She also told me her side of the story and I'm like "huh... very different from what I've heard". But well... when 2 person can't get along.. they simply can't.

I'm worried.... cuz till now I still duno the real reason why OBL dislikes his secretary.. I'm just worried to end up having the same fate as her. We shall see abt that, right now, I'm working on it.

Jiayou Bessie, jiayou!
