Dance like no one's watching

A rather busy first week at work. Felt a little stressed mid-week when a number of enquiries was given to me to handle but thankfully, I managed to sort things out by Fri. Most people assumed it’ll be a honeymoon period since it’s a new job… but the thing is, I’m doing the exact same […]

My 3-week break is OVER!  Starting work at my new office tomorrow.  Sian.  Break not long enough.  I haven’t nuah-ed enough.  Sigh.  Gotta go pack some essentials to take to office tomorrow… on the MRT some more.  Bleah!  I hate public transport.

If you like to eat local food, you’ll know that no 1 local dish is exactly the same.  There’re many places selling char kway teow but every cook will have his own style of preparing the dish.  This is probably why once a Singaporean has grown to like a particular stall, the eater will make […]

As of 5 Feb 2012, I will be officially “in between jobs”.  A pity I only get to bum around at home this week before I fly to USA for a 2-week holiday.  Will be back on 17 Feb & will start work at my next company on 20 Feb 2012. Many people have asked […]

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!! Enjoying my 3-week break before starting work at my new company. Had dinner with my new colleagues last week. I think it’ll be good.

I considered joining a bank, insurer, reinsurer and brokers. Ultimately, it came down to a choice between taking up the position as head of department in […]

So the hot topic today is how our ministers’ salaries will be cut. I’m quite indifferent about it. After all, bringing down their salaries isn’t going to increase mine right? If people feel they’re earning too little, then they should focus on finding ways to increase their income, be it find a new job or […]

I have resigned. I have lodged a complaint against some people in my company who made derogatory remarks against me.  Seeing regional HR on this matter on Fri. I feel sad that I will not get to work with some colleagues, at least not for the foreseeable future. I will need to get used to […]

2 head of departments resigning in 2 weeks. Whose fault is it?

I’ve had quite different types of bosses over the 10 years of my working life. From the type who will try to backstab their own staff to the kind but incompetent type, i’ve learnt that having a good boss can make or break your career. To me, a good boss is someone who’s capable and […]
