Wedding Planning: Gown Selection @ Yvonne Creative Bridal

Hello readers! This month was a relatively busy month for Jeremy and me! Time flies because we had our wedding photoshoot done! Our wedding is due to take place next year february but preparation started as early as Jan this year so that we do not get so burn out with so many things to do. I like how i apply what i learn at work to my own wedding preparation, i would recommend couples who are planning to had their wedding to create a google shared folder such that all the info can be shared inside the folder and its easier to refer. Beside that i created google sheet(something like excel file) for the budgeting cost and listed down all the stuffs that we need to do and projected budget and actual expenses on each item. I also created a timeline for it, since we started planning in Jan, i could create each column of things to do at least for each month so we just need to refer to the sheet to ensure we completed what i had listed for each month. In this way, its easier to plan a wedding because you are able to forecast and identify anything that you may have left out.

So in Jan, we placed a deposit to confirm our wedding venue, i did not spend too long deciding on the venue or even recee a few wedding venue location that i had in mind before we confirmed our wedding venue. To me, i don't have any dream wedding in mind, but i need to like the place. So, i only did some research before i set my eyes on orchid countryclub, grand ballroom. Maybe there are hotels that i did not do any research that has high ceiling too, but a few hotels that i attended wedding before, the ceiling is low, low as in, its not as high as the grand ballroom in orchid country club. The orchid countryclub has this super long red carpet, and since i doubt we have a chance to walk on the red carpet on normal occasions, i thought this was quite cool, the distance confirm can never beat any hotels carpet that they laid! Hahaha With the high ceiling, it create the impression and perception of the entire wedding dinner looking grand. For our 2nd march in, there is a buggy to drive us inside the ballroom! Hoho. Initially i thought hosting at orchid countryclub would be relatively cheaper compared to hotels, but i think with all my add-ons subsequently, its about the same if i host in hotel. But the minimum criteria will be, you need to have at least min of 40 tables to host your wedding in the grand ballroom. The main reason was pretty obvious because it will looks too empty if you do not have at least 40 tables as the grand ballroom can accommodate up to 120 tables! which is about 1200 guest! We have not decided on the menu which we will only do it probably by December. 

So, after we confirmed our wedding venue, we went to email the person in charge and she told us we could head down to BOWS since they will be having a booth as well, some of my friends told me you could get a better deal usually when you goes to wedding shows. We went to the popular BOWS that is always happening at least twice or more each year, if you are lucky when you make a deposit for anything during the show, you may get back the cash during their lucky draw time! Jeremy's friend won back some cash when they went the BOWS in jan as well. We signed our bridal studio package during the wedding show too. I didn't research much on the bridal studio as well, so i do not know the usual market rate for a bridal studio package, since the bridal studio package generally cover everything that we would need so we make the deposit for the bridal studio package as well.

I would suggest any bride-to-be to do some research online first before heading down to the wedding show when you have all the necessary info at your fingertips. 

I only did some comparison after i signed my bridal package and i noticed that generally most bridal studio is about the same in Singapore, either they give you more gowns, the number of photos that you can select after the photo-shoot or adding other perks in the package, just to name a few. Every bride has their own preferences, it really boils down to what the bride really wants and most of the time, you won't know what you want until you start selecting your gowns or the photos. When i mention bride only because i believe most of the groom should not have any specific preferences unless your groom is super vain. 

For us, i changed my mind by not having our photoshoot overseas eventually after listening to some advice from my friends past experience that the wedding album would end up in the storeroom so they told me not to spend too much $. By doing a overseas photo shoot, i expect the photos would turn out exceptionally good and i will be more tempted later to add more photos which equal to higher cost so i thought it was safer for me to have our photoshoot in Singapore. Save the pocket! 

For the cost part, I think it also depend where you would like to take the shoot, to name a few, Taiwan, Korea, Japan or Europe countries, you will probably have to spend even more compared to doing in Singapore because some bridal studio may not include the air tickets, transportation cost for outdoor shoot, bringing the make up artist out to help you to change your gown/change of hairstyle/touch up makeup or you have to pay the accommodation as well as the photographer, makeup artist, all this should definitely cost more than doing the shoot in Singapore unless you are opting to do the shoot in Malaysia which the exchange rate is so good now and i have seen how some of my friends used some of the bridal studio in Malaysia that offer better perks than in Singapore for their package. 

Even when i did my photoshoot in Singapore, i had spend $1k++ just to prepare before and on actual photoshoot day. We were so tired after a day shoot that i was so glad i had only opt for photoshoot in Singapore because we spend our weekends after the shoot sleeping at home after that.We signed our bridal studio package with Yvonne Creative and later found out that i had other friends signing their bridal studio package with them as well. They had been in this industry for more than 20 years and i think if any bride-to-be is looking for a basic decent bridal studio package can consider Yvonne Creative because the sales exec was very practical when she explain to us the package. She did not up sell us to take any expensive package, she will tell you what is the basic you will need in a bridal package. During the wedding show, it will be easier to get their lady boss, Yvonne to give you discount if you sign a package with them on the spot. They are able to offer customize made to design gown for you at a discounted price if you go during wedding show. Initially Jeremy asked me if i would like to get the made to design gown since its only a few hundred top up but i told him to let me select my gown first, unless i am not satisfied, otherwise i see no point to customize the gown when i will only be wearing once only. I am also not interested to purchase the gown because it will be wasting my wardrobe space and my wardrobe is already full of stuff that i don't want to waste my space.

Most of the bride-to-be should know if they did some research that some bridal studio may offer very cheap bridal studio package but when it comes to selecting your gown, you may have limited selection or you need to top up for the other 'premium' gowns. I didn't face such issue with Yvonne Creative but i heard from other friends that warn me to be careful when i sign a bridal package before i even start planning for my wedding. At Yvonne Creative, you can select any gowns that you want or you can find in their racks. No hidden cost at all. However i would like to highlight they do have their specific selection like certain gowns can only be wore for indoor,actual day and not for outdoor shoot. This usually applies only to outdoor white gown that you need to select for shoot. But rest assured some of their outdoor gown is nicer than indoor gowns. For gown types, most of their gowns has those adjustable strap instead of zip up, so for plus size girls like me, you should not have any issue fitting in their gown, alteration is possible! Before i sign the package, they also mention certain gowns can also be alter if we like to do some minor modification to the gown at no charge, but i did not request for any modification, i was more stressed choosing the gowns that i want instead because i can only choose 5 gowns and its so hard to decide. (Inclusive of Actual day white gown & outdoor shoot white gown) But for any bride-to be that are looking for wedding dress with long sleeve laces, you may be disappointed as they have limited selection, i didn't see any when i was selecting my gowns. If i am not wrong, those need to be made to design because when i went down for the 2nd time to select my gown because i was not satisfied with my choice, i did saw some beautiful gown with long sleeve lace but my coordinator told me those are customized gowns. 

This was Yvonne Creative new office, they moved from tahjong pagar to ang mo kio which was so convenient for us because i stay in woodlands. The location is good, at least for me so that i do not need to travel too far to select my gowns. They had two office and one more at another level for indoor photoshoot. 

 It was quite crowded when we first headed down to their studio to select my gown in June!

Those are the fitting room, neat and tidy.

You can select any gowns that you want from their rack.

Their colored gowns.

They do have the male section for their suits and Kua selection but i forgot to take a photo of it. I still remember i went to get my hair done before my first gown selection because i always feel that hairstyle is very important when you are selecting your gowns, but at that time i opt for a darker tone hair dye and hair treatment which is different from the color that i choose for my photoshoot eventually. Haha.

One important thing to note, never turn up at the studio feeling hungry! Make sure you had your lunch before going down because i spend so much time deciding my white gown that i sort of anyhow choose my colored gowns because olm & her bf did not had any lunch and Jeremy slipped out halfway to buy Macdonald. They spend their afternoon accompanying me to select my gowns. So i try to do a quick selection which doesn't help as i am very fickle-minded and i had to go down the 2nd time to try out other colored gowns again because i was not satisfied with my choice. Even after i went down for the 2nd time, i still changed my mind up till before my actual photoshoot day. So i choose my gown in June, request for a second gown selection in late Jul, change my mind again after i go back and scroll those photos that i took, change again just before my photoshoot in this month and change again my actual day gown during the gown fitting before photoshoot. Even though i feel very apologetic to my coordinator, but i think i will be damm sad if i can't find the gown that i like. 

I am not sure if other bridal studio do allow you to take photos during your gown fitting, if they don't allow, don't sign with them! So ask before you decide whether to sign with them. Hahaha. i just feel if they prohibit you to take photos because they are worried you might end up like me being fickle-minded when you go back to scroll through those photos, either they are worried their gowns are not good enough or they just hope you should make up your mind and not waste their time by changing again and again. I think most of the coordinators should be quite used that all bride-to-be would change their mind again and again but i think i am definitely not the worse one. Hahaha. I didn't ask them whether they do allow photo-taking before that because i expect that they will allow photo-taking. Just that i heard from some friends, certain bridal studio don't allow you to take photos.

Gown selection time as i was busy taking out a few gowns from the rack before trying it out. I thought that off shoulder gown can make my arms look smaller, but i think my arms look bigger instead.

My coordinator, Wei ting asked my preferences of the gown type that i would like to try, i told her i only want ball gown type, no mermaid cuts, column or trumpet design gown because i always believe these design need to have a superb figure and i know my own limitations. Mermaid cut actually restrict you to standing poses only for photoshoot. Beside i like ball gown because i like the 'pong pong' effect at the same time hiding my fat thighs. Haha 

So my first gown that i tried has some bling bling on it. Didn't put padding so my chest looks flat. Haha, its better to wear a nude bra when you go and select your gown!

The gown is nice, but it does not look good on me.

Haha, ok maybe i go abit extreme when i had video-taking as well. Olm was the one recording it, pardon me if i walk kind of weird because it was not easy trying to turn around with this gown!You can't really see how bling it is until it's a video recording, it may not be so clear, and pardon my fats at the back because i was just trying it out, the usual is to put a white cloth behind. haha

Look at how bling it is! Hahahaha. I love blings.

Let's just say that i don't know how to appreciate layered kind of wedding gown, i select this just for fun because i wanted to see how i would look like. I look like a wedding cake. Hahahaha.

 I only like the top part but not the bottom as i find it is too complicated.

All these gowns can only be wore on actual day or indoors only because the gown is all quite new, and this was only choosing for my actual day white gown! In the end, i choose this wedding gown below as my actual day gown. I love this piece the moment i put it on, its bling but its not too exaggerating with the details. 

So it took me not too long to decide my actual day white gown, before we move on to selecting my other 3 colored gowns! Don't really like this gown, next!

 Turquoise color gown, olm kept saying this is nice so initially i choose this as one of the gown.

 When i went back for my 2nd time to select gown again, the lighting will affect how the gown looks like! Same gown but color looks different.

This color is bold but the strap at the waist is too big that makes my waist looks bigger.

I like to try bold bright colors so i try this red color gown as well! But i find the design is too simple for me. Haha

My coordinator found this gown and let me try to see if i like as she mentioned this is nice when you go for outdoor shoot. I had mixed opinion when some say this gown is nice and some saying its not nice. Jeremy say i look auntie over here.

Initially I choose this color of the gown to be my second march in gown, and i love how it was striking that no one will wear as bright as me! 

 The details on the gown is beautiful!

I choose this fiery red color as one of my colored gown too! This gown was the only piece that i did not change it away after i went down twice to select my colored gown again. It was surprising that many commented that i actually look slim when i wear this red toga gown.

So initially i choose red,hot pink and turquoise color as my three colored gowns, super fast as i mentioned they were hungry while waiting for me. But in the end, i change everything away except the red toga gown. Hahahaha. After selecting the colored gowns, we move on to choosing my outdoor white gown for the shoot. First one, simple & plain.

 I forgot what had caused me to have such expression, but well, focus more on my gown instead!

 This gown is nice too but i noticed its very easy to for the fat on my tummy to protrude out. Even though i changed to this gown after i went back, but later on i change my mind again.

 Another gown that i tried.

Eventually, I choose this as my outdoor gown because it was so bling and i think i was getting restless and tired trying on so many gowns.This gown looks more complicated for this piece but i first choose this because it was super bling.

So after the first round of gown selection, i went back and start sending those photos to my friends, showing to my family and getting their advice and everyone had different opinions. Some say its not nice while some say i should change to other gowns that i did not select. I was having second thoughts on my outdoor gown and colored gowns. All the gowns are nice but its hard to find one that i really like and i can't stop thinking whether i should change to another piece. Beside i choose super fast that i was wondering whether i may have been too impulsive. So, i texted my coordinator to ask her if i can go down to select my colored gown because i don't really like those that i had initially select after i went back. I am equally troublesome compared to those who spend almost a whole day in the bridal studio because i think i need to choose properly before i regret else i will be so upset when the photos don't turn out good or when i don't look good on my wedding day. Luckily, my coordinator book another appointment for me to go down and try again!

As i went down the second time, i managed to see other gowns that i previously had not seen on the rack, probably they have just hang it back after washing.

This was one piece that i spend super long to decide whether i should take this!

 This look super weird on me, so i am really not suitable to wear those layered kind of gown.

 I only like this gown the fact i do have some boobs! Hahaha but Jeremy say its not nice.

 Another sexy gown but Jeremy say i look like auntie wearing this.

I actually love this grey gown! Which i decided to change to this grey gown last minute like 3 days ago before the photoshoot? Hahaha.

I first decided on this purple gown because most of the gowns that i like can only wear indoors and not outdoors like the light blue and grey gown. So it was a very difficult decision to make, and this purple gown can bring for outdoor shoot so i change my turquoise gown for this. This gown looks very sweet looking as well, but i decided to change after Mich's friend who also signed with this package choose this gown for her outdoor shoot as well, so i took the grey one eventually.

My last piece was actually choose by my coordinator, i think because i was not able to find one that i really like until i saw her bringing me this gown, even before i tried it on, i find the gown super chio already! Eventually, i choose this as my actual day 2nd march in gown! I love how bling it is, its actually peach colour but due to the lighting, there are some shots that was like as though its in pink.

This gown is very beautiful! When there are others that tell me this gown color is very common, i am no longer bothered because i am easily swayed only because i can't find something that i like, but once i found the gown that i like, i stick to it and i no longer bother what other say anymore! I love the bling! 

 In fact many told me this gown makes me look slim. Everyone have their own preferences but i know this gown can never go wrong!

 In fact, i think recently i happened to see one of my friend attending her friend's wedding on facebook feed and i noticed her gown was exactly same as this! I was spending so much time studying the gown and i think it was the same gown! It looks good so i think i will look good as well! Hahaha.

So in the end i confirmed my colored gown to be peach, red & purple gown.

But later on before the photoshoot, i changed purple to grey. Hahaha. I guess there shouldn't be any more new changes. As for my outdoor white gown, i went to try only two gown before i change my original selected gown.

I don't really like this halter neck design gown.

 Another gown caught my attention which i previously did not see it on the rack too! The gown color is so white as well, nothing that looks yellowish and this gown can be used for outdoor shoot!

 I love this gown that i changed to this gown instead!

In the end, when i went to try all the gown, i change this outdoor gown to be my actual day morning gown as mummy told me this is nicer as she say the previous one was too simple. But actually both are super chio! So i was in this dilemna for quite long before i decided to change this as my actual day morning gown instead! 

I shall end for now, in my next post, i will be writing a whole list of items to prepare before the photoshoot and recee on locations that we have selected to do our photoshoot.

Till then!

Storytelling Time!

Hello readers! I am here to update my blog again! This post has no photo except a selfie plus lengthy texts so you may want to skip if you do not like to read. This post took me sometime to craft it out because i was very busy and i had no time to blog until recently. I find the need to express the truth on my blog even though the person probably think they have the last win. 

Before i start my storytelling time, i need to introduce the two main lead characters name so its easy for me to refer, so there's D for Dick and F for Fake.

I am really glad that my sister, her friend, A and JY is no longer working in that clinic anymore and because of this incident, i have seen F true colors. It's not a bad thing afterall, because after this post, we no longer had anything to do with each other. I feel apologetic to JY for referring her to this job because the last thing i expect was Dick hurtling verbal attack to her and she couldn't retaliate because she was stunned because the doc talks like a porcupine to her. (Full of prick) if you can't sense the sarcasm. Haha

Previously, my sister and A was working in this clinic that was co-owned by Dick and other shareholder until the politics was so bad. I used to be close with the admin staff, F so when i heard that she was looking to hire more staff at the new clinic, i referred JY in, she did approach me before they even officially started the clinic when i was looking for a full time job after graduation whether i want to go over and help them out. But i never had a good impression of Dick because we have worked together previously when he was doing just locum. His character can be seen from his actions when i used to work with him. He was on very good terms with my sister so we had different view on him because she find him good but i find him terrible.  This proves that i was right all along, i don't even have to do much, because 日久见人心。(我看人的眼光是不会错的.）

Don't ever think all doctors are saint. There are terrible ones that i encountered before, snobbish, punctuality issue, mood swings, not being professional, want to choose the kind of patient they want to see, giving attitude to clinic assistant, looking down on some C.A because they think they are some big fuck. Of course, there are nice doctors around that i worked with and they give me zero trouble,but i am just naming some traits that i deemed as bad doctors.

 After his clinic has been running smoothly for quite awhile, F was hiring more people to join and she approach me again if i would like to join them, even offering to check with Dick to see if she could get me a better rate since i had years of experience already.

After serious consideration, i realised money is not an issue to me, 老娘不缺钱. To ask me to earn my keep from someone i don't like, no way! I rather spend my free time with my dog than facing that Dick. My cute duffy!

JY started working there without any experience so she had to undergo some training, and while they claimed that she has two weeks of training. It's not even 8 hours of training everyday and you claim that she had 2 weeks of training, and even if she did received 8 hours of training everyday, she wouldn't know how to deal with different situation unless she encounter that particular situation during training and what are the probability?

There were only 1 staff working each time because Dick is so cheapskate, asking a new girl to work solo when she barely even had adequate training, you should expect that she might not be experienced enough or she need time to learn how to talk to the patient, how to respond when patient ask certain medicine that she might not be even sure so she need to go and check with you and instead of being patient, you show her fucking attitude!

Its not like she could ask her partner because there were no one working together with her at the same time. Don't compare to those who can work solo because we are talking about Experienced VS Inexperienced over here.  And if you think that going through training (that so called 2 weeks training when she is not even working every single day) is enough to equip her the necessary knowledge, i would strongly question your intelligence level.

Of course, i am not trying to be bias at the same time towards my friend by siding her because there are times when she was pouring her woes to me and i told her that she could use another method to tackle the problem or to ask F or other colleagues if she is unsure because sometimes she might not need to ask the doctor if its a very straightforward question or that the person may really get fed up because you are asking too many questions if he may have already told you before. But she feel bad that she had to disturb others when they are not working but i think she don't really have a choice because Dick is not approachable what. She added on, whenever she did something that was not right, Dick will claim that he is going out to buy something but is actually calling F to complain about her because F will check with her later on the same issue and she get quite frustrated because he was like a complain king. I try to advise her to approach him and talk to him directly, face to face that if he is unhappy with her, he should talk to her directly instead of getting a messenger to pass message because this act make her uncomfortable.

I think this is very important to everyone out there if you are reading this, you do have a choice to speak out and question when you feel that you did nothing wrong to deserve such treatment. 

Besides, talking directly to each other will clear any misunderstanding both parties may have towards each other because you never know how the messenger may twisted the words and facts or misinterpret what is the real message that you are trying to bring across. But JY does not wish to talk to him and choose to avoid and that probably makes Dick getting more and more outrageous. There were few occasions she told me she wanted to quit whenever she feel she had a bad day working with Dick.

Most of the times the frequency of her complaining to me about him is more than i even heard her complaining about patient giving her hell when she is working. As much as I try to encourage her to stay positive because there will always be people like him existing in this world to portray the ugly side of humans, but if she think that quitting would solve the problem, every time she encounter such person, doesn't that means she will need to change job very often next time? Running away from the problem will not solve the problem, but learning how to adapt or to do something about it, is an important soft skill set to acquire so that you can stand up for yourself and not get bullied so frequently.

But at the end of the day, i like to emphasize, it also depends. You need to set your own line to make sure no one goes beyond your limits because there was one incident i find he was too overboard. Using verbal insults on her by telling her 'not to sit down there like a vase if not he just need to pay her $2 can already.' I was really mad when JY told me this, i told JY whether she did responded like ' then you go find someone that want to earn your $2 to man this counter la if not you diam diam.' Or if you can find, i pay you $2 for good job well done. But knowing her personality, she won't say such things. Just because you see her sit down when there is no patients and you start
to become a real DICK because your eye is too sore? Find someone that take the job and earn $2 only then.

 I was fuming as i was complaining to F because he has gone way overboard and i told her if she don't do something about it, it would be a mattar of time before she quit and she can't really blame JY because she had enough of this crap if not for the fact that i had been trying to get her to stay. She could have quit even earlier.

I used to tell F jokingly before the fall out that i am so glad that i am not working with him because the next thing when he show attitude to me, he will have a hell time, because i don't exactly have a good temper to start with. But I don't have PMS like he do as I am just better at managing my anger even though i don't display it often.

But this was not just about JY, my sister and her friend got into this entire tussle with him that was the bomb. He wanted my sister friend, A to quit her full time job and help him out as a full time as he was looking to expand and open another clinic soon and A has told him directly not to wait for her and to hire someone else, but he insisted to wait for her before accusing her that she was cheating him all this while when she really told him that she is not going to quit her full time job to help him. He think his clinic is a highly sought after place that everyone gian to work over there. Oh please. When she rejected him, he was not being professional by not turning up on his duty slot. Childish seriously. That was also the night when A simply tender since they are not bounded by any contract so serving notice was not even required but she did give F a 5 day notice.

For my sister, she went to have a talk to Dick ,like i suggested earlier for JY to communicate with him directly, however it seems that i forgot to mention it has to be a two way channel, the receiving party must be willing to listen and accept it as constructive feedback and not cajoling the person on the surface but revealing his true color at the back.

Talk about rules of management, don't make me laugh. You do not automatically have the management skills just because you read a book. Looking at how you have high turnover rates while managing just a clinic shows alot of your management skills. Management do not include gossiping with their bosses or twisting facts. There are two sides, Good Management and Poor management. So now we know which side you are learning. Good management will maintain professionalism and discretion to whatever that was told to them.

My sister has no intention to work there anymore not because of A leaving the clinic, she probably has observe how cheapskate you are, when she did the artwork for you, claiming that you will pay which you never did, thank god she didn't complete the artwork for you eventually because that how you take people for granted by expecting people to do work for you while you take your bloody sweet time to complete the medical report that my sister required for the insurance claims.

But lm was super nonchalant about this entire big issue when she got removed from the group chat by F. She can't be bothered but i was quite pissed and i only get to know because JY told me. I was pissed not because she lose the job, that was my least concern but the treatment both JY and she got back in return by being kind to F.

Both she and JY informed F earlier to find other replacement and lm telling her she couldn't commit soon in the following month while giving her time to hire new girls. I still remember F telling me Dick wanted to craft out a contract and the notice of serving period will be 3 months. I am not sure if this was eventually implemented, but thumbs up! You have very good management skills! Absolute stupidity. The most ridiculous that i heard from F was Dick suspected that my sister gave him this sudden change of attitude because i had brainwash her and influence her that she behave in such manner towards him. I know i am amazing, but please la, don't think too highly of yourself please. You do not really deserve me to put in any effort to influence others because actions speak louder than words. From your action, i really do not need to do much before everyone come and tell me what a horrible person you are.

If i wanted to brainwash her, i will stop her right at the start when she wanted to work at his clinic, i won't even refer my friend to work at the clinic. As much as i dislike someone, you are so insignificant that i do not find the need to stop anyone that i know from working under him unless they come telling me this kind of nonsense he is doing. Knowing F will probably go back and tell him what i say, it was on purpose that i told her that if he want to see my power of influence, i can show him my influence by getting all of them to quit at the same time! But seriously, i really had better things to do la. So i just decided to make things a little more exciting because i know F love all this gossips and politics because this is what she is good at anyway.

All this while, JY can be considered the most innocent victim because she was not involved in this entire drama. I was just so disappointed with F at how ungrateful she was because both of them was giving her time to find new replacement, they could have just left without serving any further notice because they was not bounded by contract. Management takes a bit longer to craft out contract because they prefer gossip, back stab than doing official work. Oops.


On account of not putting her in a difficult position, they promise to stay until their stated period of time and this was what they got back in return as shown in the screenshot below. I regretted not getting them to leave because i had not expect that it was just an act of pretense to get those sympathy just to stall for time so that they could hire new girls before writing sugarcoated message below as though Dick was the one firing them and not them resigning instead to get back his face. WTF.

Please don't think highly of yourself now just because i dedicate a post to you, i still find you very insignificant but i find the need to remind you that while you tried to think that you have the last laugh, this post serve to remind you to wake up from your dream. Stop dreaming.

So let me decipher this message below sending from Dick after the group was created with F, my sister and JY inside, this message was send out by him. I receive this not long ago just to make sure every single text that he type and i asked JY to forward me this chunk of message so the timing that you see is inaccurate. Just in case someone decided to dig out the screenshot and call me a liar. yawns*

I think he probably get too sensitive after there was one occasion JY texted me that she was not feeling well, so she inform F, and F was not exactly kind to her in the tone, this is what happen when he is too cheapskate, only want to have one person to work in the clinic at one point of time that if one person is sick, no one is going to be there. I believe that JY wouldn't go and pretend that she is sick just to avoid going to work, but she managed to get out of her bed and turn up for work eventually. I had tried to dissuade her from doing so because no one is going to appreciate that, but she decided to go ahead and i respect her decision. But the next thing that she least expect was Dick accusing her that she was just pretending to be sick. So i was proven right that it doesn't pay to be kind. So moving forward, the screenshot below of the entire message,

So, what he wrote, Dick: 'noted that you guys are unable to work this Saturday. In honesty it hurts me greatly to note that theres this general feeling of unhappiness ever since amelia left the clinic abruptly after ending session at 11pm'

How hurt are you? 猫哭耗子假慈悲. Still insisting that the fault does not lies with him, that he is not in the wrong while conveniently pushing the blame to A because he insisted that it was her that started this entire drama. claps* continue living in denial please, everyone know who exactly is in the fault please. This has nothing to do with her resigning from the clinic, stop finding excuses. To clarify the last sentence, A did not left at 11pm, the doctor on duty wanted to leave early, she has managed to ask the dr to stay till 1130pm so they left at 1130pm but this idiot called her and ask her where is the doctor, the doctor was with her and was sending her back because Dick say she was not being fair to him when they are suppose to close at 12am so eventually the relief dr and her u-turn back to open back the clinic when she was already back in woodlands. After that, he decided to twist the fact and say she was a liar.  Well done,come i give you a clap, good job for making a girl cry, having to turn back to open back the clinic. Search for your conscience if you do even have one to start with, if i am her seriously, fuck you i wouldn't u-turn back. That was also the night she decide to quit and he simply blue tick her after that.

Continuing, Dick:  'I want to say that both of you have helped at the clinic and i appreciate your work. (I wonder who has told F that, you better utilise lm well, because she is worth $50 outside at the counter) The real motive comes in,  Dick: 'However sometimes all good things must come to an end ; as i had explained before, if you find that you are unhappy at the clinic, let me know and i will replace you.' (See? this is what, when someone refused to accept the fact that people are quitting on you but you are living in self-denial and think that no, they are not resigning on me but i am replacing them. Joker) 

Dick :'I am unable to operate if my CAs are not consistent and punctual: xx was an example of someone who i cannot afford having around.' (I think you are the one that has punctuality issue to start with, and not being consistent, closing as and when you like and punctuality issue, do you know that the person in that group chat that has punctuality issue is actually F, are you saying that to hint her as well? Have you thought of using a punch card system? Implement it and tell me when she is punctual before you start to accuse others.
But oh well, they wont be there or be bothered to see it anymore.)

Dick :'Pls do not be mistaken that you are not cherished. When lm approached me, i had promised a revision of rates and shift sessions (which has happened we stop at 12am now) at one year mark.' Yes you adjusted your operating hours but did you increase their rate? No. this is a misleading statement. The shift hours has happened but not the revision of rate, skin too thick, omg.

Dick :'Also, you were paid during all extra hours even when doctor is not around and when we close early, with full claimable transport costs.' (Trying to hint that you guys should appreciate that he did not cut your earnings even when he is closing early so you should be grateful! But.. did they ask to close early? No what, if you want to go back early, it should be the right thing to do that you paid them their working hours accordingly, don't make it sound like its an entitlement for them being paid for free. You can stay throughout until the end of the official closing hours what, but you didn't want to. As for the 'full claimable transport costs' there is a capping of $10 so if the total cab exceed more than $10, you are only going to reimburse only $10. So, don't make it sounds like you are generous please. 

Dick :'I hope you understand that this is because i did not wish to make you guys leave at 2pm and come back at 6pm. I felt this would be unfair to you.' (Conveniently missing out the revision of rate part while emphasising how the readjustment of opening hours was for their best interest at heart. aww, so sweet yeah right.)

Dick :'How this ever became negatively viewed from your standpoint i completely do not understand.' It is basically free money.' (I don't really get it where this shit is coming from as i had NEVER heard anyone of them complaining about the readjustment of working hours, an excuse to portray that the fault lies with them and not his fault probably or to confuse them. ) 

Dick:'Nonetheless, i sense that this has not achieved an acceptable compromise at your end.' (This is what we say, if you had nothing better to say, stop trying a meaningless topic to say, keep your mouth shut.) 

Dick:'I therefore do not want any unhappy workers as mine and F personality and culture is that we want to work happily'  (Oh come on la, F personality and culture is that both of you want to work happily. the two of you was the one who stir all this shit out, keep going around the bushes, just be direct la like i can't accept the fact that you guys are resigning on me so i am telling you that i  am firing you before you got the chance to tell me i quit! so that i can save my big big ego. Do you know what is the most disgusting that i ever seen from you two? That the two of them can say totally different things without realizing that lm and A was sharing the earpieces when the two of them was talking to each person at one point of time. If a story is true, repeating and saying it over and over again will be the same. However if a person want to fabricate lies, each time the version will be so different or the version they spoke to different person will be different as well. This was what they was practically doing, eew.)

Dick :'I hope that you guys actually come to appreciate that you were given employment during both of your job search periods, and i believe it has been a mutually beneficial arrangement.' (Look at this conceited fella, still insisting that they really need to be grateful because he is giving them a job when they are so called jobless because they was looking for their full time jobs. Hello, they are not beggar, even if they don't work for you, they won't starve please. You don't pay them to sit down there do nothing right? I believe they do register patient, dispense medicines, assisting dr with procedures, doing claims when it should be the admin job in the first place since you are paying so much for an admin. So please don't act like as though you are doing charity work that the money is free for them and they are ungrateful. You mentioned that they were given employment. So you should fully understand the term 'Employment'. 'Employment is a relationship between two parties, usually based on a contract where work is paid for.'  You pay them for the work they do. Please wake up. Stop dreaming.  

Dick :'Since you no longer view it as beneficial, i will stop your slots so that i do not lose you as a friend, I will add $50 to each of your payouts for the month of September, as a sign of appreciation. My door is always open should you wish to discuss or speak about this or other matters. Thanks. ' (Before Dick left the group after thinking he got the final upper hand for making it sound like he is firing them instead of them resigning first. but the truth was before this, my sister was already going to leave the group chat but F bitch was telling her not to do so first, but right after this entire message was send out to both of them. She remove them from the other two groupchat instead. No explanation was needed from her action, and when i was merely testing by texting her that i want to get some medicine from her, she did not reply so i don't see a need in holding myself by considering our past close friendship ties.It was really not a big deal to replace them because it was just a part time job for them, i do believe no one is indispensable in this world so don't get it wrong that i think the clinic will not survive without them and are feeling sore if the clinic is still doing good, but for F, its different for you. No jobs is there forever. You better make sure you do survive well over there and we shall see who have the last laugh by then.

Shall end this lengthy post.
Till then.
