I promise... i promise i'll bury myself in my textbooks ok? Oh yah! And the MRP thesis which we're supposed to hand up in July... (July... that's the 8 more weeks? HUH?!) and MY topic is: How to Increase Motivation at Work (which is a desire to ALC i guess), So, what does motivation meant? It means job satisfaction which in turns lead to high performance and low turnover for company (however, these are NOT present in where i'm at now - at least most of the staff there). Imagine a mass email has to be sent to REMIND you that your working hours start at 8.45?! OMG~ I believe even a kindergarten kid can adhere to that. So shameless!!!! And so, what does your working hours say? Does it mean u step into the office at 8.45am, settle down, have your very delicious breakfast, go to the washroom THEN you being to read your emails, open that file and start your work oly at 9.30? Or do you complete all of the above BEFORE 8.45am and get your lazy ass to work? Of course, it's the latter. Kids can tell u that.... So, you not SHAMELESS uh? Although YMP has "groomed" me to start work at only 10.30am and step into the office at 9.45 although it should be 9.30 (freaking good life right?) BUT i've disciplined myself to adhere to those cruel unwritten corporate rules and i'm glad that i DONE it =)))

Speaking bout YMP i do start to miss WY and irene again.... especially when he text me ASKING if i need a testi from him... Ahhh... how thoughtful. He once said "Those who can take his nonsense are definitely better off" And i took it for 5 years. He will probably never know that he might be the best boss i ever had. And i miss those after lunch loud-burps irene and i shared! DAMN! It's so fucking cool man.... like my burp gets louder and monsterious after each one?

However, things have to move on right? I should also be thankful that my current bosses are understanding and cool and fun to be with =)

Nuff of work, t's the weekend!!!

I just finished another term which i desperately hope to get good results but i'm a little paranoid that i might do worse than the previous term which i got 2 distinctions from! I must be disciplined enough to do revision revision revision instead of hitting the malls =)

IT's pix time!!!!
Joey straightened her hair!








Ms Giva's little farewell dinner @ Tambuah Mas


It's Mom's day! Happy Mummy Day to all lovely mommies out there for you know you shall be loved eternally!!!

It's been.... 12458789795446125185 days since I like post an entry here?? Yeah yeah I know... Luckily there's still twitter posts to keep it alive!

What have I been up to??

1. Done my first term papers - Economics and Organisational Behavior; and the second term papers: Managing Change and Cross-Cultural Management are coming in April which I totally have no idea what they are about. I heard these are interesting subjects BUT they're uber boring! I (We) blame it on the lecturers' for making the class so dead =(((( And if you have been following my FB status... you'd know how the Chinese lecturer uses her "very fantastic english" to teach despite her residence in the Europe for the past few years (as she had claimed). I think she's one big cross-cultural topic herself!

2. Assignments have also been tying everyone down... Uncle's very high expectations has been pulling the motivation spirits down... Haiz it does makes me wonder if I'm unsuitable to work in a group? But others do feel the same way leh... so... its not my fault! Hee!!!

3. I have resumed my exercise regime!!! Yeah!!!!! Sacrificing sleep to do runs and abs-toning? Good!!! I'm up to some "other help" to shed some weight... let's see if it works! Nah... not pills or invasive stuff... (im not that dumb puuuuulleeeease!)

4. I got my very own namecard after 6 years since I had them!

5. I'll be re-visiting Cameroon Highlands!!!!! I need a rejunvenating trip desperately before I look 10years older from work.

That's pretty much I guess... Till then!!!!

3 January 2010

Hello hello.... It's been SO long!!! Uber tied down with work and studies! (STUDIES??!??!!!!)

Yeah! Studies! You heard me! Its about time I should upgrade myself =) Took up a degree course @ Kaplan with the National University of Ireland, Dublin majoring in Human Resource Management. It's a 18-month program, very hectic time table and schedules. Why HRM? I don't know!!!! Well, its just for the knowledge and for the sake of having degree (in case one day I really hated legal work and also er hem $$$$ boss, you hear me?? I demand an increase in my pay the day I completed my course!). This has greatly enhanced my brain with the real world (I do read a LOT more nowadays cuz there's plenty of research work to be done) and also something I think I lack - Self-discipline! I just completed a 2000 word assignment (that took me 3 weeks!!!!) and exams are just round the corner in 2 TWO weeks time (and I haven't done a single revision yet!!!). My aim is to get a First Class Honours (to make my bucks worth!) or at least a 2nd Upper... Hmm nothing beyond 3rd I hope!

I have also switched firm. Like I mentioned in the previous post, work is really suffocating! And it worsens my studies!!! So, without a job in hand, I quitted Sterling Law Corporation. Its a little sad for me cuz the people there are really wonderful! I made several good buddies there and I had to fight back my tears on my last day =(((((( Bosses are nice people too! But I somehow think that they lack an important ingredient in thier management of organisation - Maslow's Hierachy of Needs. Anyway, the 3 months period really opened my vision! The 4 years of experience I already had is really peanuts (with due respect to Mrs Goh CT on that "word")! So my ultimate reason of leaving YMP really meant something - to gain more exposure.

I'm glad that Mr WY still keep in touch with me... I think he'll be the best boss I ever had =( So far, no one can surpass him ( I even did an assignment on him!!!!). He's like a mentor, a friend... Though sometimes he can be quite a pain in the ass with his weather-like temper (sorry Mr Yeo!!!) I can tell he truly cares for his staff, he's pretty disappointed when I told him I signed up for a non-legal related degree cuz he always think that I have the deeds to do it and argue in Court. He sends seasonal greetings, asked who are you feeling on days we're on MC (well, at least ME! Haha!).

One person I soley miss.... Irene. When you're with someone over a period of time, its like she knows what you want without opening your mouth! I wonder if I can ever find someone like her in the workplace anymore =(

The true meaning (to me) of leaving a workplace is another new beginning and with what you already had, bring them to the next level. Its sad to bid goodbye but it has to done. That's how one sees the world.

Am now with Ascentsia Law Corporation. My current boss knows about my studies needs and they give me spaces to juggle work and books. They recently promoted me (its more of a re-desgination to me) to Asst Legal Manager, with that they fufiled Maslow's theory! It a kind of motivation, and I think its good!

Everyone ask: How's the job? Is it good? Well, I say that still too early to tell -_*

The coming week is gonna be uber hectic cuz my senior is on leave for the whole week and I had to fight the war alone =( Time to head back to fine tunning my work! Till then!

Officially survived a month and....... I'm still "alive"! Muahahaha~ Seriously... i'm really worried for myself =(((((((((

Last weekend was the 2nd SG F1 GP Night Race and how could these F1 fanatic couple give it a miss even though we're really tight with our busy schedules (he - ICT, me - bloody shit work lor). No doubt, we still bought the 3-day pass!!! This time... we change our viewing spot (since F1 will be here for at least 5 years, we'll get a different spot each year!) to the TURN 3 GRANDSTAND!! This year i decided to watch the race and less camera-takes. It does feel different! We're so NEAR to the track!!! SHIOOOOOOOOOK! Okies... less talk, photos now!

Happenings that's SO last year:-

Mark Webber crashed during his practice AGAIN! (And also during the race. Told ya bout the faulty brakes!)

Renault..... did IT again! But this time, for real!

Toro Rossos' Alguesuari "had a Massa" this year! (He took off before the fuel pipe is out)

We sa the Dim Sum Dollies who are just in the Suites above us! Hossan Leong showed us he's a good citizen who throws his rubbish into a bin!

The weekend is here.... and i'm smelling it =) Ciao people!
