Missing Compass Point
We used to go clubbing together every now and then. However, ever since I had left Compass Point, I was unable to join them for most of the outing due to my work commitment.
I wanna tell Compass Point that I really miss them and working with them is really fun and enjoyable. Partying with them is always full of fun and laughter.
I really miss partying with them, esp Boss, Best Friend Jo and Brother Greg.
Me and Best Friend Jo

Reading Madness
I'm totally into reading lately. I had just finished 2 books in less than a week and I just can't stop reading. Normally I would spend my time in front of computer, but now, I would just lie on my sofa and read. I even read before I sleep though I'm already feeling very tired. I'm totally into the book. The book is so interesting that I find it hard to stop reading.------I had made a grave mistake at work. I am in deep shit. Sigh.

Leave Schedule
My leave schedule for the next quarter had been finalized. I would be having a short break in August and a long block leave in September. I have no plans in September actually, but I guess I shall make use of that long break to clean up my room, table and wardrobe, or simply just treasure the moment of doing nothing. I probably will feel bored, so do remember to ask me out when I'm on block leave in September. Haha.Thanks to my understanding friends, they changed the dates for the Genting trip so that I could still go. I really appreciate that. And yes, I will be going Genting with my secondary school friends. I'm really excited about it! Special thanks to Yuxiu for taking the initiative to check out the prices and booking the trip for us! I love you to bits, girl! For the past few days, my life had been kinda dramatic. I'm glad that I have friends around me who called me up to check on me and some of them even volunteered to meet me to make sure I'm okay. I really appreciate it. As I had said many times, I must have been a saint in my previous life to deserve such wonderful friends and people around me. A sincere thanks to all of you. Thanks. I was at Harbourfront yesterday, and that was officialy my last assignment as relief CSM. Things would be different when I go back to work on Tuesday as I would be reporting to SMU. Let me enjoy this long weekend and I will start work with a refreshing mind. =pOh ya, I'm counting down to my hongkong trip...

I'm Sorry
Do you know those things that you had said in my face are very hurting. It's like piercing my heart with a sharp sword.But, I don't blame you as I know that it's my fault. I'm the one who has caused you all the hurt. I know there's nothing I can do or say to salvage the situation. But, I just wanna say a sincere sorry to you.I'm sorry. Trust me, it's never my intentions for things to turn out this way.------The thing about my job is, no matter how miserable I feel, I still got to pull myself up and do my work as per normal. It's difficult, but I just got to do it.

A good learning lesson
This is the story of an empty soap box. It happened at a large cosmetics company. A customer complained that the soap box she bought was empty. Very quickly the company found that the problem was in the assembly line. For some reason, one soap box went through without being filled with soap.The engineers were asked to solve the problem. They decided on an X-ray machine with two persons watching the screen to make sure the boxes were not empty. Can you imagine how much this solution would cost?When a worker in a small company was given the same problem, he bought a powerful electric fan to blow at the boxes on the assembly line.If a soap box is empty, it will be blown away. Everyone will know it is empty. There will be no more soap boxes leaving the factory empty.The lesson for all of us: Be as simple as possible, though we do have to bear in mind what Albert Einstein said: “Everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Always look for simple solutions. Problems are not solved by throwing money away; they are solved by thinking with imagination. A good solution does not need to be expensive; an expensive solution may not be good.

I hate myself...
I hate myself.I hate the way I handle relationships. I hate myself being so indecisive. I hate the feeling of confusion. I hate feeling so lost.It's ironic that I can be an advisor to my dear friends with their love problems, yet when it comes to my own relationship, I am completely at a loss.

Sleeping Princess
I used to sleep at 12am.Then I start to sleep at 11.30pm.Somehow or rather, I start to lie on my bed at 11pm.And now, I sleep at 10pm-10.30pm every night. But, why do I still feel so tired? Haha. I'm totally becoming a pig.------I went to ZOO yesterday! Thanks to the wonderful recreational club of my company, I could bring 3 guests to ZOO for FREE! Unfortunately, I could only bring 3 guests, if not I would ask all my friends to go too. Anyway, due to the gloomy weather, I guess the ZOO was not that crowded as compared to a normal Sunday. But, I can't help but to feel that the animals look kinda sad actually. Afterall, I guess it doesn't feel good to be locked out in the zoo. If you were to lock me inside my room for one hour, I would have bored to death. Maybe we should really let the animals roam freely instead of locking them up in their designated areas. Anybody wanna go ZOO, JURONG BIRD PARK, or SCIENCE CENTRE for free? Do let me know ya?

It's all about waiting, waiting and WAITING...
First of all, let me wish a Happy Fathers' Day to all fathers! It's your day, so just enjoy ya? Anyway, I finished work quite early yesterday. However, I couldn't go home! That's because the air con men were coming to repair to air con! FAINT. I basically waited till 4+ before they were done with the work. Since I got so much time on hand, I went to the MPH bookstore nearby and I bought a book at 20% discount! Yeah. And this book is something which I have been wanting to get it. It's a good buy, isn't it? I even completed some e-learning course. I was just too free. I nearly fell asleep on my desk while waiting for them to finish with the reparing job. Haha. After waiting for Tsz Kit to knock off, we went to meet our Secondary School friends to discuss about our Malaysia trip. As usual, all were late, including me. I'm a punctuality freak, so I can understand Limin's frustration waiting for me. I, myself hate to be late, and hate people for being late. Limin, I'm sorry! I'm so excited about the trip, but I guess the only problem is whether can I take leave during that period. As I got to coodinate my leave schedule with 5 other CSMs, sometimes, it's really hard to take leave during a certain period. I guess I will be really disappointed if I can't go to this Malaysia trip with them. Please pray hard for me, ya?And I went to Ice Cold Beer to meet Shixing and Celene after dinner. I can finally eat the Fried Chicken Wings. It's really good and yummy! It would be better if I could eat it HOT. Haha. It's really nice chatting with them, especially I have not met up with Celene for quite sometime due to her exams. All in all, it was a great Saturday if not for all the wating time that I had wasted. Haha. Have a great Sunday today!

I'm transferred...
It has been confirmed. I would be going to SMU branch with effect from 26th June. Is it for the better or worse? I don't know, but of course I seriously hope that it would be a good change. Though I do wish to be a permanent CSM, I guess I'm going to miss my east cluster colleagues. Just when I'm starting to establish relationship with them, I was transferred again. I seem to be transferred every 3 months. Haha. It has been nice working with each and every of them. I guess I'm quite lucky as I seem to meet all the nice people at different branches. New working environment. New Colleagues. New Branch. And there will be a NEW me.

Getting old...
I just came back from Wendy's baby boy birthday party. It's really very nice to see many babies crawling around the house. I simply love babies! I would definitely want to have 1 or even 2 babies for myself! Keke.
It's really amazing, isn't it? When we graduate from university, our common topics with friends have evolved to be work related. We tend to complain about our job, our pay, our colleagues or even our bosses. As we grow even older, we start to talk about marriage life... and gradually, the topics will evolve around kids. This is like a cycle. I can't help but to feel old at times. Even wrinkles are starting to make their presence felt on my face. Oh no, I'm approaching mid-twenties!

I finally know why...
It's that particular period of the month. No wonder I have been feeling that way for the past few days... Because of that, I''m feeling quite sick (cramp + dizzy spell + flu) for the whole day since I went to work in the morning. It's really horrible to work in such bad condition. Sigh. Anyway, I would be embarking a new journey soon, probably somewhere in late June. I shall reveal more details to you guys once everything is finalized. Meanwhile, keep tuned for the good news. I guess when I get back from my HK trip in July, it will be quite a stressful period for me given that I would be facing new challenges and on top of that, I was also enrolled for a course (Professional Basic Cert in People / Supervisory Skills) sponsored by the company. This will mean that, starting from 6th July, I got to attend lessons twice a week all the way till September. It's going to be tiring as I got to handle work and studies at the same time. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the next quarter, as it's like a new chapter in my career path. I'm feeling really tired. I guess I should sleep early tonight.
Good Night to all.

PMS-ing
I don't know about you guys but sometimes I tend to have suicidal thoughts. I know it's irresponsible to have such thoughts, but there are times when I just feel so down. It's ironic that I always ask my friends to think on the positive side of life, when I myself sometimes can't see the positive side of life at times. Since I am on this topic, don't cry for me when I'm not around as I will want all my loved ones to lead a happy life, even without me. Don't worry. I'm okay. I guess I'm just feeling kinda pms.

What does LOVE mean to you?
No matter how successful you are, or at which stage of your life, we, humans tend to be troubled by love.Why is it so? Why is it that love can be so beautiful and so hurting at the same time?When you love somebody, you will want to do anything for him or her. To you, he or she is your world. And you just want to be with him or her. There will be times when you his or her image just pop into your mind and you wonder if he or she is doing fine. You will also want to call him or her when you are depressed or you have something happy to share with him or her. And it seems like your whole world will be brightened up whenever you see him or her. Yet, your heart hurts when he or she says hurting words to you. Somehow, I realize girls and guys have different expectations towards relationships. So, it really takes a lot to make a relationship work. Just like it takes both hands to clap. Both parties really need to be understanding towards each other to build a stable and long lasting relationship.------I received an email from somebody very far away today. Somehow, when I finished reading that email, I feel sad.

Being a front-line staff
Once the branch opens for the day, you must be all ready to serve the customers.You are under the scrutiny of the public until you knock off. Even when the branch closes, customers still expect you to help them since you are "still working" in the branch. No matter how bad your day had been, you just got to pull yourself up and continue to serve the rest of the customers.Customers are always right. No matter how ridiculous the customer's request is, you just got to try to assist them. And no matter whose fault it is, it's always your fault and you just got to apologize and apologize.Even if the customer is screaming at you, you still got to smile, smile and smile.You can have 100,000 satisfied customers, but you just need ONE unhappy customer to kill you.Being in the service industry, you tend to have high expectations of all service staff in the service industry. Don't be surprised that those nasty customers you meet are actually service staff of other organization, be it banks or even hotels. What goes around comes around. So, I always tell myself that I must not be a nasty customer as I may have my retribution anytime.You represent the ORGANIZATION. You got to get your facts right when you communicate anything to customers, as customers will always haunt you with any wrong information given to them by you. Lastly, we just got to practise G.S.T. - Greet Smile Thank all day long.

On Course
I'm on course today.
As a result, I get to wake up later than usual. And I get to eat 5 meals a day, breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea-break and dinner! I just keep eating, eating and eating. Keke.
It was quite a relaxing day, given that I don't have to face nasty customers, counting cash or rushing to approve TTs. I even had a FULL one hour lunch today. In fact, I can't remember when was the last time I had a full one hour lunch... The class was quite interesting as well. And in fact, I think it's quite beneficial to my work as well. On top of that, my course mates are interesting and they do make the class very enjoyable. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's lesson. =p
After my course, my sister and I had a great dinner at Sakae. I didn't eat much as I was quite full from all the snacks served during the course. And we went to watch the movie, Men in White for free as her ex-colleague got free passes!
Initially, I thought it was a horror movie, but it's actually a comedy. Not too bad, but I guess it's not really worth it to spend $9.50 to watch this show. As the show was interrupted halfway, GV decided to give us complimentary movie pass! It's so cool! I had earned a free movie pass! Keke. It's only 11pm. But, I feel tired. I guess I should sleep early tonight. Let me enjoy one more day of being on course.

What a boring Sunday...
I'm so bored.It's Sunday, but I feel so bored. Sigh. Just pray that it won't rain in the afternoon, if not, I will feel even worse. Some of my colleagues were commenting that when I first came to the branch, they thought that I was going to be their terror as I looked very fierce. Hmm... Do I look that fierce? Probably. Especially when I don't smile I guess. Nevertheless, I guess if you know me better, you will probably know that I'm not fierce at all. Anyway, I would be celebrating my 2 years anniversary with OCBC this coming Thursday. Times flies, isn't it? I can't believe that I had actually stayed in the same organization for 2 years. It feels like I had just finished my MT training yesterday. Whatever it is, it had been a fulfilling 2 years working in OCBC in which I had learnt a lot of things. And I really must thank 2 of my wonderful bosses, Choon Seng and Raymond Yong for guiding me all this while. I guess I probably would have left OCBC if not for this 2 great bosses. And I had met other wonderful senior CSMs who had really been helpful in guiding a newbie like me. All these wonderful colleagues (sales staffs, tellers, SAs, etc) had definitely make OCBC a great organization to work in. I'm really appreciative to all who had helped me in a way or so. I think I am really lucky to be able to meet so many nice people in OCBC. A sincere thanks to all who had crossed my path for the 2 years in OCBC.
