Shopping!

Lately, I have been shopping for shoes for working simply because my current ones are dying soon...

But it was really so hard to buy any pair that is stylish, comfortable and affordable within my budget... Finally I saw a pair at A*** but it costs $80plus and do not have my usual size... Well the size they have, i can fit but it looks abit squeezy.

So after much thinking, I decided that I can still consider about it despite the fact that it is really stylish and comfortable... Then bf started to observe other ladies' heels and realised most gals either wear it too big or too small... There were only a few rare ones that really wear the right size and style...

Well, I was still not convinced that... Today I went browsing around and this store PAZZ*** and this pair of heels caught my eye... After a few tries, I decided to buy it, THIS WAS THE ONE!

Haha! The design and comfort level is there, the price is $60 plus which was reasonable as well... Not to mention that I had bought one of their shoes before so at least it's safer!

Then we went browsing again and this shop that specialises in designer style jade and semi precious stones jewellery caught my eye! Especially the jade in the nest ring which was extremely classy! However, the price was a whooping $480... The best part was the jade inside can be replaced by a coral stone...

So expensive and yet so tempting to buy! Sometimes when you have no intention to buy any things, everything seems appealing! When you are in the mood to shop, nothing seems appealing!

What a strange thing! But I guess this is how life works! Quirky world!

Ungrateful Ex-Boss

This is an overdue post that I really feel like complaining...

Couple of months ago, this previous boss of mine msn me to ask if she could seek my help in sponsorship of certain items... I agreed to try but no promises of course... In the end, the company did not agree partially because of her reputation and also her period of event...

On and off, after I left the company, I still help them and went back to attend their arts events in support for them..Never did i know that when it's her turn to help me, she pretended to push the responsibility to someone else who did not know of me at all... So clever and smart right!

What I wanted was merely the list of contacts that I established and achieved while I was with them... She actually told me to ask the GM for it when she could say give the permission down... Fine, I will achieve it with my own means then...After working with her for a number of months, only now then I saw her true colours!

Oh boy! I am so damn glad I left... A pity I couldn't harden my resolve to delete away all the contacts I left them...Ungrateful bosses will never be able to retain employees who are good or reliable...

Serve you right for not being able to do marketing for you permanently... If you continue this way, the best and loyal person will eventually leave you... So what if you seem to have connections? Without sincerity and trust, you won't go far...

For me, I will not help you ever... The only people I will help are those within the company who have extended their friendship to me... Ungrateful ex-boss, you deserve it!

Rejoining the labour force

Well, I guess it has been some time since i wrote again...

Tada~ Me joined the labour force to start working again in June after a few months of rest!

Those few months of recharge really helped alot and allowed me to feel so much more recharged...
Of course if money can drop from the sky it will be event better~

The new job is generally fine. I run activities for singles, married couples & families in the Personnel Services Centre of a tight security place somewhere along depot road...

Pay abit little but work, stress levels, office hours and of course colleagues generally quite good...
So far I am enjoying it though on and off there are a few office pests around.

Perhaps slowly I am seeing my direction in life and knowing exactly what i want...
Things have a way of falling into place slowly and steady...

Overall, I am happy with my life right now...
Of course, there are things to complain about but who don't?

Be positive and things will come your way eventually!

Still clueless about the future

I admit it... I am still clueless about the future...

I have send in numerous resumes to try for a job... to private and government sector...

Yet, I am unsure of what I want...

There is no such thing as an imperfect job, it all lies in the mind...

After discussion with my friends, I came to a conclusion.

We all want the same things...

1. Reasonable salary
2. Manageable stress
3. No overwhelming OT
4. Sufficient time for friends, loved ones and self

Among the bunch of gals, we decided that we have no desire to climb the corporate ladder and do the stupid office politics... We are contented so long as we get the above 4 items...

After that, it will be marriage ( for those attached ones) or traveling( for those single ones), that's it...
So what is the problem then?

Why is it so damn hard to find something like that?
Beats me too, when I find mine, I will let you know...

Replacement

Replacement

How should i say it without sounding bitter or hurt? I do not know...

There is this sense of loss, of hurt that I actually feel that I am being replaced...

Perhaps the original intention was to give me a good rest and not to replace me...

I will never know and I do not know if I want to know...

Maybe all this is a lesson on letting go...

From nurturing them to being on great terms, I am proud and honored to be with them...

But it seems that they have found someone better to manage and coordinate...

Well, maybe it's time I finally take a break to go back to my own cultivation and to do what I desire...

Regardless of all this, I am still thankful for everything that I have now...

My College GP Teacher

My College GP Teacher

I have kept this letter that you wrote to me all this while. In my entire schooling life, you are one of most respected teacher. There is a sense of familiarity between you and me. Perhaps like what you said, we are both idealists...

You have given me the chance to try and be a leader, you saw the potential in me... This letter is like the encouragement hug that I will want to have when I am feeling down... I see the passion in your eyes in wanting to give us more than just purely education. You went beyond your role as a GP teacher, you attempted to insert creativity in everyday boring GP lessons. You won our hearts and befriended us, giving us the respect of a young adult that most teachers neglected to give us...

Despite the discouragement you received from the older generation teachers, you never gave up. I was very glad when I saw you still teaching in that same old college, the place where you felt its warmth and its familiarity.

Thank you for helping to mould my character into the person who I am today, for giving me courage and words of wisdom that will continue to be useful for the next ten years. May you be well & happy always!

A Teacher's Words

A Teacher's Words

Wisdom, Hope and Love
Always want these things for your Life

Because I am human... I have favorites. I don't practice favoritism but I do have favorites.You are one of them. I suppose its because I think you are an idealist like me. I watch you in every class activity, even when you are quiet and I see your enthusiasm, even boldness in having a desire to lead. I wrote all your autographs with the hope that they will still be relevant when you read it again ten years down the road. So this is my advice to you: - Read the book ' Tuesdays with Morrie'. Its about a young man and his old teacher and the things he learns before his teacher dies. In the book lie years of built up wisdom, the greatest treasure that I wish for you. I pray that you store and build a foundation of meaningful values, so that when you begin to lead in the future people will continue to trust you and see a stability and clarity that they would want for themselves. I have tried every way I can to build each of you up, to teach you that life is only worth living if you live, love and serve others. As leaders we do not try to impress, we empower.

love yah,

Another New Beginning!

Another New Beginning

It's a fine Saturday morning, I was browsing around on the website and suddenly remembered about my poor blog!
I haven't been updating it as often partially because of laziness and also lack of time... Since it is another new beginning, I thought I will post some updates here...

Well, I just resigned from my job after 8 months... There were a couple of reasons and it's hard to place everything in words...

But I guess in every job, the most important thing is to be happy with what you are doing! I was happy with my job and yet I still left... Partially I felt something was missing and I needed to find it out...

The urge to find it just keep bugging me to move on... For now, I intend to rest and take a break... My previous jobs have been too hectic though I kinda enjoy it...

But I need to experience what it feels like to work regular hours, climbing the corporate ladder and less of entertaining irritable people..

What will my next adventure be? I do not know and I do not wish to think of it for now...
