Stability is not a word you would use to describe my department or my work. Everything is always in a constant flux and just when you thought you have sealed the lid on the last can of worms, another one always pops. This part I don't mind however, it keeps the work interesting for me. People movement are more disruptive. First, a colleague is leaving for in search of greener pastures. Then I

I am sleepy and this is not good. I spent my morning training frontline sales staff on the deeper aspects of my team's product. Hopefully, we will see more results and less customer mis-communications with this.

Update:I have finally moved on from my previous job.After 6 years, 11 months, 22 days in my first job after graduation, I have moved on.I did not quit my job though. Somehow, I did not make a move for this.Despite all the push factors along the way.Somehow, I just continued to hang on.Long than I should have most would say.I do not regret it though.In the end, my persistence lead to opportunities

My In Camp Training has concluded on the 13th of March. However until today, I have yet to fully recover from the effects of our last major activity this ICT. I had to take leave from work on the 14th just to spend the day sleeping at home.   So what is the activity that sapped me so? It was a 4 days 3 nights adventure in a secluded spot in Singapore that included a lot of sun tanning and

How can a HDB contractor possibly be so f#@$ked up? After wasting so much of my time and redoing my flooring for so many times, I was really ready to close one eye and just let go..... Yet, they managed to come up with something I cannot possibly accept..The original reason why my flooring had to be redone was because of unremovable stains/defects on the existing tiles. After repeated reworks,

Last Saturday I visited my flat once again with my father and wife to inspect the progress of rectifications by HDB's contractors. Once again we were disappointed with the workmanship and spent over an hour going through the house and sticking tapes all over the place to mark out our complaints. :(After we left the house, we parted ways with my dad and headed for Orchard. My wife had an

I have decided to do my Batam trip and the Holiday Inn Resort more justice by giving up more information on the facilities in the resort.Here goes...1. A nicely shaped (read rounded irregular) swimming pool.2. A number of shops selling stuff like Polo Ralph clothing, exotic looking Indonesian style clothing and ornaments, snacks,etc3. KTV4.

Sigh.... I am so swamped with work that I have decided to give up on reporting in detail on my trip to Batam.   So a summary, the Holiday Inn Resort Batam is recommended for those of you who are looking for a short getaway with little to do. For spa lovers, do look out for spa and accommodations promotional packages. I believe they are quite value for money. The food while not fantastic, is good

You scored as Angel. Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They

On the 9th of May, my dear and I packed our bags, hopped on a ferry and head for a short getaway holiday in Holiday Inn Resort Batam.The resort is located at the Waterfront city on Batam island. After a sleepy 40 mintue ride, we landed at a very impressive looking ferry terminal with a native longhouse styled roof. Passing through customs was a breeze and we immediately spotted the resort porter

It was the day that the love of my life and myself became legallybinded together in marriage.Here is the summary of that happy day.6:30 am : I woke up and got ready to go pick her up at home with thehelp of my buddy. I was very excited and a bit nervous that I wouldforget something. Ended up doublechecking every action and

I am so excited. The day is finally here. After tomorrow, I will nolonger be single and I will have to give up my SDU membership (notthat I actually used it at all). The past weeks have been a whirlwindof activities for me. Last weekend, my fengshui master viewed my housefor the first time and gave us guidelines on where to place the"important" household items. i.e stove, kitchen sink, bed, etc.

From the looks of things, I will never be able to find time tocomplete the story in the way I wanted. This is a summary. For thepast few weekends, we have been evaluating many restaurants for theirsuitability for our wedding banquet and here are the results.- Solemnizaton 22nd Apr 2005 at ROM building- Dim Sum Lunch at Red Star Restaurant- Bridal Studio : Thomson Wedding Collections- Customary

Following up on my previous update, we had spent many hours in the bridal studios along Tanjong Pagar before settling on Thomson Wedding Collections which is in fact a relatively new branch of Thomson Wedding D'sign. (40 year history!)   24th - 27th Mar (One day leave + Good Friday weekend)   On the 24th, I managed to get some much needed rest and relax at home. I had returned to work

Last Saturday was a busy day for us. In the morning, we headed down to Fort Canning Hill to scout the ROM grounds. This was an opportunity for us to get an idea of what our own solemnization ceremony will be like. As we had expected, the place was packed with many couples and their invited guests. We surveyed the area around the Registry taking note of spots that would be suitable for photo

Last Friday was a public holiday. It was suppose to be a much treasured long weekend of rest for me. In the end, it turned out to be a really long and exhausting weekend. We shopped for furniture, kitchen and toilet essentials in the Jalan Besar area as well as the Furniture mall. I even did a little of painting on the kitchen ceiling of my darling's house.

As much as I did not want to place any hopes in it, I had sincerely wished that Singapore would win the Tiger Cup this time. My apprehension stems from the fact that the Singapore national football team has not won anything for a long time. It had seemed like all the time, effort, money and expectations in Goal 2010 had gone down the drain when the present team seemed worse off than teams from

13th Jan was my father's birthday. After work, I took my family out to dinner in Chinatown. The restaurant was called Da Dong Jiu Luo, Big East restaurant? Anyway, it was my sister's suggestion because their dim sum or dian xing was suppose to be quite good. Unfortunately, they did not serve dim sum for dinner so we settled for a traditional Chinese dinner instead. The standard was generally

They are going on one week of leave and yet for the entire week, they have been talking about future plans, the cancellation of the show, a good time for the past 8 years and the end of broadcast.

Went shopping for wedding bands yesterday night. There were so many decisions to make in such a short time period for something so significant in my life. :p On previous visits, we had shortlisted a number of rings that we liked. They included rings from Kizoku (Japanese), Jorn Rainer (Swedish) and Affiniti (Singapore) brands. Some designs were quite bold but we prefered the simple ones. Then

Sunday 9th of Jan 2005 was exactly two weeks after the killer waves struck Asia. Singapore held our official (government initiated) memorial for the victims. The Prime Minister commended the compassion displayed by Singaporeans for our neighbours. Religious leaders offered prayers for the dead and silence was observed. I believe that it is from this point onwards that the true test of human

Yesterday saw the start of a new year of televised charity shows. Each year, the scale, scope and quantity of such shows appear to be increasing along with the donation targets. While I have nothing against funding raising and charitable organisations, I do find myself questioning the means employed these days. From commission-based coupon or trinket peddling students to lucky draws promising

Why is that human tragedies such as the one the world is currently experiencing always manages to bring out the best and the worst in humanity? On the one hand, the world at large is displaying unprecedented solidarity and compassion for the victims. Yet as the days wear on, we increasingly hear rumors of exploitation of victims; very often by their own countrymen. Is compassion for your fellow

More than a week since the disaster and the death toll continues torise. When will it stop?It has been a week of great grief for much of the world. Yet, it wasmost heartening to see the generous spirit of giving now beingdemostrated across the world.With luck, we may yet prevent more deaths in the aftermath of the disaster.On a personal note, much of my life is now dismal......... so much todo

What a horrible Christmas day it was for the inhabitants of so many countries! An earthquake in Indonesia and people literally thousands of kilometres away are killed, injured or otherwise left homeless.....There are even reports that the killer waves reached the African east coast. While I am truly grateful that Singapore was spared from the disaster, my heart definitely goes out to the people

This was suppose to be a public holiday for Diwali or Deepavali as itis better known. This holiday together with the one on Monday 15/11/04created the opportunity for a five day long break from work. All Ineeded to do was to take leave on Friday. However, my girlfriend'shouse needed painting and her father decided the same public holidaysand weekend would be a perfect opportunity for everyone to

This has been a busy "long" weekend for me. Here is my account in brief.WednesdayI had to rush back to my company hq office after the working hours ofthe client. It was because a mini - crisis had developed over thepreceding days and suddenly my team was critically shorthanded.Needless to say, I ended my long day tired and slightly disoriented.

Yesterday was a good day. I went for my medical appointment and wastold that my liver was healthy after all. While this is the result Ihad always predicted from the beginning, I cannot deny feelingrelieved.Yester....night (I am doing it on purpose.) was not so good. My bosscalled me up with bad news.

I am unwell today. I woke up feeling lousy and it got progressivelyworse through the day. I still had to endure the full day at work dueto certain incidents in the past.Over the weekend, a couple of things happened. Firstly, I decided togive up on a flat that I was rather keen to buy. The afternoon sunshot halfway into the master bedroom on Sat and the heat and humiditywas unpleasant. More

I have been temporarily posted out of my company headquarters to a customer's offices for the next few months. I will be reporting directly to the MIS manager of this client and am feeling more than a little bit nervous. Hope that I will be able to do a good job. I have actually set a personal goal for myself for my "tour of duty". If I can get my new "boss"/client to officially commend my

That is what the past week has been. But I was still able to slip in time to watch two movies, visit the zoo and celebrate my mother's birthday since my last post. I had started typing this entry on Oct 21 but never got around to finish it...... I think I will start a new one. :-p

Last night I took my parents, my girlfriend and her parents out for dinner. It was the first time our parents were meeting. Before this, I always had this fear that they could try out to be decade old enemies and the meeting would end my relationship instead of bringing it forward. Fortunately, things turned out better than I anticipated. Our mothers hit it off almost immediately and never

I attended the wedding dinner of a good friend earlier tonight. Unfortunately, she sat me with complete strangers. 3 married couples and 4 women who were friends since their school days. Needless to say, try as I did to interact, I had to settle with entertaining myself with food most of the evening. I did however manage to strike up conversation with a good humored surgeon and had a few laughs

Yesterday was a busy day. I finally spoke to my boss regarding my concerns about career prospects and performance. Hopefully, this will lead to greater exposure for me in terms of new work experience. It seems that being posted to the customer site for a few months is inevitable and may not necessarily be a bad thing. I was in the TV news last night! I have taken up weekly lunch time line

An acquaintance of my girlfriend died in a road accident on Saturday. He was cycling when a driver suspected of drunk driving knocked him down. Why are drivers so reckless? Moral dilemma : Late last night I was on a speeding bus. On one hand, I was happy to be getting home faster. Yet, I was reminded of the tragic accident the previous day. ( I was actually travelling along the same stretch of
