Jeju Island
I am in Korea now! Woohoo! I'll be flying over to the most romantic island in Korea, Jeju Island in 35 minutes time!
50 more minutes
I'm inside the airport now and I'll be flying off in 50mins time!
Get Ready to go to Korea!
I'll be leaving for Korea later at night. Before I leave, let me just write a short entry of the things which I MUST do when I am back...
Yeah! I've finally won money AGAIN! I love FRANCE!
Spoiler
I was all excited to go Korea, yet something unhappy happened in branch which kinda dampened my mood. I was really very upset about it. When attending to this customer (yesterday and today), I was trying very hard to keep my cool and not to be affected by her comments. But, I lost the battle today. While she was ranting how useless I was, I maintained my smile and did not raise my voice at all. But, when I went to the backroom, I couldn't take it anymore. I hate it when people doubt my professionalism. Sometimes, I wonder why am I doing so much for customers when they are so unappreciative? Here I am, trying to liase with various people of different departments to help her solve the issue, she actually just told me off, saying that I'm not helping her at all. Not to mention that our departments in my company are not very willing to help in times like this. I feel lost and helpless.
My sis is BACK!
My sis is back!
White Lie
I was watching tv last night and the characters in the show were discussing about white lies.
It's my Sis Wedding!
LifeHouse - Blind
I happened to read the lyrics of this song from my friend's website. And I find that the lyrics are so meaningful, especially for breakup. It clearly depicts how the girls feel after each breakup. When it comes to love, girls are really blind. That's because we follow our hearts...
5 Reasons Why Girls Should Also Watch World Cup
5 Reasons why girls should also watch World Cup
Prelude to the Wedding
Lastest Addiction
My lastest addiction:
Can I Bet?
I have came to a conclusion that I simply can't bet. Though I won money from the Ghana match, I still have a net loss from the Czech match. While thinking of which country to bet today, Shixing called me to ask which team am I supporting so that he can take the opposite team. WTH. Am I really a jinx? Hmm...
I've WON
I've finally broken the curse of losing money. And I've finally won the soccer bet from my BOSS! Like what my boss has said, it's not about winning the money, it's about taking THIS photo. Haha. The pride!
Staying at CCK
I had a wonderful off today. I did not do anything special, but sometimes, doing something simple can be so enjoyable.
Horoscopre for 19th June 06
Every obstacle you run into isn't necessarily bad news. Right now you could start running into road blocks left and right, so don't get frustrated. Each limit is there for a reason, and you need to understand why it could be there. You may have to struggle more than usual in your daily routine, and you could have an especially hard time of helping the people you want to help. They aren't disappointed in you, so don't worry about letting anyone down.
What a Great Monday
I was so determined to start my monday with a smile. Yet, early in the morning, I have to hear accusations about me not helping him to to do something properly. I hate it when people accuse me, especially when I don't think I am in the wrong. I am a gadget idiot. It's not that I am not interested to help him, it's just that I REALLY DON'T KNOW.
The Present
It was a happy day for me as I had finally bought a beautiful wedding present for my beloved sister! Though it cost me a bomb to buy the ring, what matters is that my sister loves the ring. And it's something which she can always wear.
Big Boss
I slept very early last night at 11pm! woohoo! That's a record. I'm so tired that I fell asleep on my bed in split seconds.
Happy Birthday to Siew Ping
It was Siewping's birthday last Saturday and some of us went to K-garden to celebrate her belated birthday last night.
Forgive & Forget
This particular quote caught my eyes yesterday when I was reading an email which Celene had sent to me...
Am I A Jinx?
I simply can't bet for nuts. For every match that I've betted, I have lost money.
NE Drinking Session
We tried to take many photos, but somehow or rather, most of the photos turned out to be quite blur. Maybe all of us were simply too drunk to take photos.
Facial Treatment
It's my off day today and I went for facial treatment at Bella. It was my first time there and it was quite a good experience. Very relaxing and comfortable. How nice my life would be if I can be like those rich tai-tais who can always go for such facial treatment in the afternoon? haha.
Crazy Night
It was a crazy night last night. We merely wanted to watch soccer match together, but somehow or rather, it turned out to be a crazy drinking session.
Parfum
Heard of this famous Chanel Parfum?
World Cup 2006
It's the World Cup season! As a great soccer fan, this is the season for me! Due to some unforseen circumstances (as mentioned in my previous post), I didn't watch the first opening match. Other than that, I had been watching most of the matches. However, England's first match was kinda disappointed as I expected the England team to do much better than this since there are quite a lot of star players in the team. England team definitely needs to perform better in the next match if they want to reach the top 8.
Fun KTV Session
I went KTV with Shixing, Beng Chuan and Jo last night. It was a very fun session with endless of entertainment. Beng Chuan could really sing those super sad songs, somehow or rather, his voice sounds very gan dong. When he sang the song, Forever Love, I nearly cried. haha. He's really that good. And of cos, Shixing is equally good as well. Afterall, I've been a fan of him since university days. Haha. As usual, he kept on singing those songs which are very alien to me.
CARS
I had my sales meeting until 9pm last night before I rushed off to Cathay Cinema to meet my jc friends for the movie, CARS. It was kinda rushed as the movie time was 9.45pm. In fact, I was supposed to catch up with my mt mates for awhile before the movie, but I had no choice as my boss had a really long meeting with us. Actually, it dragged until so late because most of the time, we would side track to talk about other unrelated stuff. That's our problem. Maybe we should learn to be more focused in meeting from now on, if not, our meeting would always last 2-3hrs.
CARS was a very typical cartoon with predictable storyline. Yet, personally I feel that there's some hidden meaning in this show. That's why I love to watch cartoon. The storyline may be simple, yet the hidden meaning is something which touches our heart. In life, we tend to look at the obvious, and subconsciously, we will neglect things which may be insignificant yet important. Sometimes, in life, it's not about winning. There is more to life than winning. In fact, the journey in life is the reward. If you try too hard to win, it may actually backfire at you and at the end of the day, you gain nothing but just a trophy. A trophy is just a physical item, yet the experience and the journey is much more valuable than that, isn't it? This applies to sales line. Earning commission is nothing if you do not think back and ponder what have you actually gain along the way. Pride? A sense of achievement? Or just monetary satisfaction?
So, have you ever stop by and think about your journey in life?
Complaint Queen
Today is SUPPOSED to be my Off day. I've been looking forward to my off day since last week as I had been working consecutively for one week plus. And I'm really tired. BUT, I was being recalled back to work as one of my colleagues is on MC today. Sigh. What the hell. I'm supposed to go East Coast Park today, but it has to be called off. Hai. I hate it when my plans could not go as planned. To make things worse, remember that I've mentioned in my blog that I'm going to Malaysia with my wonderful Secondary School friends this weekend? Eventually, I couldn't go as well due to shortage of staff in my branch. Can you imagine my disappointment? I really wish I could go to Malaysia with them. I've know these guys for 10 over years and this would be the first time we would be travelling together, yet I can't go. ARGH. But, I guess in the working life, these kind of things can't help it. Afterall, we are just employees, so we just got to listen to our boss' instructions.
One Year Anniversary
Today will mark my one year anniversary with OCBC. Time really flies. Till now, I still can't believe that I'm still here after one year. Not that I'm one who likes to job hop, but the thing is, it's just simply so amazing that after going through so much, I'm still alive and kicking in OCBC. My MT (MT 72) started with 22 of us, and now there are 16 of us still in sales line while one has transferred to another department. OCBC should seriously give some credit to my MT, given that so many of us are still with OCBC after one year. Come on, how likely is it for a MT to have a retention rate of >70%?
Remember this
Five Simple Rules to be Happy:
Happenings over the Weekend
You won't believe it, I went to watch X-men at 1.45am on Sunday morning! I was really tired but I managed to stay awake for the show as the show was quite exciting. But, when I was on the cab, I was feeling real tired. I wish I could just sleep on my bed immediately. And this morning, I dragged my tired body reluntantly to go to work. If only I don't have to work today, I guess I would just rot on my bed for one whole day. haha. I had been sleeping at 5am for past 2 nights, so you can't possibly expect me to be very energetic right? As usual, branch was kinda quiet. I seriously think that the whole Singapore has gone for holiday while only poor folks like me like to stay in Singapore working. Why is it so?!
Liquid Kitchen III
It was friday last night. Initially, I intended to go home after work, but on second thoughts, since nobody would be at home, I might as well just go out with my friends. In the end, I went Liquid Kitchen with some of my uni friends. I wanted to go K-garden but it was fully booked. I also thought of going Secret Gardens (as the drinks were quite cheap), but the funny thing was I couldn't find that place anymore. It's indeed a SECRET GARDEN. haha. And so we ended at Liquid Kitchen. Anyway, Singapore is indeed a small country. I actually bumped into Ray and Jason at Serangoon Gardens too. Or maybe we simply like to hang out at Serangoon Gardens?
A little story by Paulo Coelho
A certain shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world. The lad wandered through the desert for forty days, and finally came upon a beautiful castle, high atop a mountain. It was there that the wise man lived. Rather than finding a saintly man, though, our hero, on entering the main room of the castle, saw a hive of activity: tradesman came and went, people were conversing in the corners, a small orchestra was playing soft music, and there was a table covered with platters of the most delicious food in that part of the world.
GSS
It's my off day today, yet I had to wake up at 7am today. That's even earlier than my normal wake up time on my normal working days! Can you imagine how hard it was for me to get out of my bed so early? And I'm so not used to squeeze with the working crowd in the train. Well, I had to go to OCBC centre for some MOS training, so I guess I had no choice but to wake up early. Initially, the course was quite boring, but towards the later part, it was quite fun. My group was basically enjoying ourselves talking all sorts of crap. haha.
