My name test states that....

"Charming, poised and sociable you need peace and harmony around you and always seek to create a happy environment. Perceptive and with strong intuition you are able to make sound judgements. You show great flexibility in attitude being open and responsive to the needs and opinions of others. This ability gives you potential for success in business dealing with the public.

Hee... Accurate? Accurate?

Failed...

The last couple of weeks have been most eventful.

So many events going on at work... on top of most eventful happenings in office... Work related of course.

However, nothing beats the fact that I tried to resign, but failed. I guess I could always leave if I want to but I'm too soft... and everyone's telling me that...

ARgGgGGg.... I hate it that I'm this soft!!!!!! Why can't I be like Aunty Lena who has no qualms about telling people off... who has no qualms to fight for her rights...

Or why can't I be warned that if this happens too often, I'll be taken advantage of... and get bullied time and time again?

I believe the world can be a better place to live in...

What should I do?

To Hong Kong and Back...

Yups, that was the most eventful thing that happened last weekend.

Went on a company trip on Friday and came back on Monday... Time flew by so quickly that it feels surreal.

Thought I would have shopped alot but surprisingly, my buys are minimal. Unlike my colleague who was happily spending all her money away, and would have been stranded in HongKong for the lack of money for transport or the airport tax (which we later found out that was already included in the cost of the air tickets.)

Though I bought few things, I bought a pair of shoes which cost like SGD$100. I surprised myself as usually I wouldn't even have thought of spending that type of money here in Singapore. Guess being on holiday makes all the difference...

The trip was kinda spinky and spunky I guess... There were scandals as well as loads of drinks and laughter. It was really a good opportunity for my colleagues to hang loose and chill out I guess. Lovers of drinks and smoke... Oh well...

Kinda sad cuz I totally forgot all about bringing my digital camera over. Could not be the usual trigger happy me... Sigh... missed taking shots of all types... Would have caught so many things in pictures...

WHAT A WASTE.

Oh well, it's back to work proper for now. Not that I wasn't working in Hong Kong. I was kinda... it's a company trip after all... But now it's back to 24hrs...

Till the next time... :)

The Big and Little things in life...

Heyo... it's been a while.. again...

This phrase's getting really common... And I can't help griping about why it's so...

It's all about work... What else? However, I realised that after a while, there's no point. It's either I do something about it, or live with it.

But human nature is such that it's almost difficult to ignore that issues that nags and tugs at your heart...

It's so confusing. While I love my job, I hate it at the same time. Kinda ironic but it's not the job that I hate... it's part of the job... or it's someone... I don't know... But then again, it's not like this is something that you can pin-point and say that... yeah it's only THAT and THAT.

But I do miss the little things in life... I miss my friends... I miss having time to myself, I even miss my parents who are living under the same roof as me. Even now, when adding a blog entry at 1am in the morning, I feel like I'm eating into time that I can spend on work...

Some say it's a matter of what I want. Somehow, working here makes me feel lousy half the time... I feel that I'm not living up to what is expected of me. But I can't help it... I can't keep focused when there are like a thousand and one different things that expected out of me.

I remember when I first started sussing out this job, I was told that the company encourages fitting people into positions which maximises their forte. However, in reality, I feel like I'm being forced-fit into positions that I'm not capable of handling... And it makes me feel stupid.

It's true that I can learn... but learning takes time. And I do believe that there are somethings that are innate. Either you have it or you don't. And if you don't... You need time... And time is something which we are not given here... and that sucks. Makes me wonder if it's the same everywhere else...

Anyway, on a brighter note, I attended Cat's ROM on Saturday... And it was really pretty. Found time to admire the little things like the flower decor which I loved... the little things in life...

Flowers Galore...


More flowers...


Pretty Chairs...


The inspiration for the ring Pillow...

It's the little details which makes all the difference don't you think?

It's the little things in life that I'm missing out on that makes all the difference.

What's next?
