Recently, i have been hearing lots of staff attrition going on in companies. Even my department is facing the same problem.

Just after i return to the company, 2 of them decided to move on to another industry. Well with that said, it's pretty obvious they are leaving for OTHER reasons - Reasons that made me leave initially as well. I cant comment if it's a good thing because for one, we should not stop people from 'pathing' their career especially when they are still so young. Then again, 2 people missing from the department means Hard work for me because I'm now in the midst of clearing all their work and getting processes right - Setting Precedence within the department...

As I step my foot into managing the department, i also realise many ProblemS that were either being Ignored for the longest time or are Snowballed... *Headache*

Now all i most look forward to is to have the 2 newbies on board - well technically 1 chosen by me and the other my boss, so i hope the one that i have chosen doesn't disappoint me!!
It's kind of fun to be interviewing people when you heard them talk about themselves, obviously saying politically right stuff and trying hard to please the interviewers...

Another thought that i have: Some people want to leave their job, BUT they fail to realise that they are under-qualified. Instead of considering themselves lucky with what they have, they are aiming only for the $$ and think they can soar the skies... *Hai... Nothing drops from the sky except Bird SHIT!*
Don't expect to be rewarded when you do nothing and expect to be paid Big Money. It's a realistic and fact that the society emphasizes a lot on education as well as experience.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, I'm now only interested in getting my Job done right and well. I look forward to my confirmation and the subsequent exposure in my position as i gain experience managing the team and making important decisions :)

Re-considering my Options

Life hasn't been too happening for me lately. Work is busy and I have simply no time for paper work and follow ups. Yet meetings continue while clearing shit.......oops..fine, tidying up processes in the department!!

Human relationships is also a problem - Not visible to many especially the people involved yet the adverse effects seems to snowball over the days. Again, i try to act as a bridge.

Personal time is not optimistic as well... School for the weekend and half the time i worry about my Customer Service. So many complains from shoppers!! ~But there's only so much i can do...~

Tat is half the time TIRED and decides to stay home. I prefer to unwind myself outside sometimes (travelling all the way to his place is as tiring, especially if I'm already in town). Due to such differences, we end up not meeting each other. *I wonder if this is healthy on the long term with lesser phone calls and meeting ups* Perhaps he likes it this way. For me, i really don't know!

So now you see, with great power (actually also nothing great), comes great responsibilities & sacrifices!! I cant tell for now if it's worth it but all i can comment is, i want to move on and enter the next stage in life...I don't want to live life stagnant for another 25 years!

Is there a need to consider all aspects of my current options??

A world new week

Time just passes and it has been a week...

Just last Friday, we were at Intro Bar celebrating my last day of work. *CHEERS*

Really appreciate the farewell wishes from all though im still waiting for the photos that we took!!

Went for Beautify Me session before i report for work at New place (new?)!

Yes, im back at Jurong Point now. Still doing Marcomms but with extra responsibilities... Yes the pay is rather attractive but im aiming higher (haha..who doesnt??). Many unexpectables since i reported for work on 7 July. As i take on my new role and duties, im still glad to see my NP ad appearing in the dailies.. It's a small acheivement!

Well, let's all keep our fingers cross and hope all goes well for this sudden emerged AM...

Watched Hancock yesterday and was specially touched when he sacrificed himself to save his 'wife'. I cried. I think the world's greatest love is sacrificing for the one you love.

*UNDRESSED!!!*Wahahaha.....

*SURPRISE!*

Finally DONE with the silly assignment for Term 1 and it means i can go SHOPPING on Sun before i go to celebrate Clarence's second birthday @ Miramar Hotel!! Shopping shopping... going to FOX for 20%, G2ooo for my long sleeve and The Bodyshop for blusher!!! Oh how fulfilling...Vivocity, here i come!!

Time to get ample rest now!!

Let's Get Ready to Laugh, Laugh, Laugh!!

Here are some jokes that i would like to share from Laugh out loud (http://www.laughoutloud.com.sg/#Scene_1)!!

Though some have been in circulation for some time, but i think they are still funny and it does cheer you up! It does for me at least...

Q. Who gave Andy Lau that cup of 忘情水?


A. It's "Ah-Hah"! Because the lyrics sings....."Ah Hah, 给我一杯忘情水..."


This is simpler:
Q. Who does Sammi Cheng miss the most? (郑秀文最舍不得谁?)


A. It's her 爷爷. Because she sings "我舍不得你, Yeah-e-Yeah" (In cantonese)


Visualise this: Your hand (open palm) doing like a wave motion
Q. If that motion symbolises a fish, then what does this motion represent - Your hand (closed palm) doing the same action?


A. It's fish-ball!!


Q. Moving your palms vigoriously (left and right) - That's a wave. What is it when you move it gently instead?


A. It's Micro-wave!!


Wahaha... Feel free to visit the website for jokes and you stand to win vouchers like me ~i won $30 Vivocity vouchers...which means it's shopping time!!~
