Older

I realised that I am getting older when:

1) I am lacking in energy at work..

2) When most of your friends are attached and you have no one to spend your weekend with..

3) When friends don't really reply to sms or after a long time due to various commitments..

4) When a 19 year old told me to seriously find a soul-mate..

Haha.. I am not complaining about anything or what, just that I realised that the effects of loneliness is kicking in just by being older and anti-social...

Been doing OTs at work recently.. Too much workloads, bad lots etc etc.. I am expecting some scoldings to come real soon.. Haha..

And last night, a Uni friend, who is 19 years old, told me to seriously find a girlfriend now and get married in 3 years time.. *Gasped*..

Well, at least he offered to play at my wedding.. Haha..

My weekend is spent at home again.. My whole body is really calling out for a massage...

These few days, I've been complaining a lot.. Complain why Singaporeans are so weak and so many get hospitalized everyday and I have to assess and process so many claims.. Sianz..

Still got to take General Insurance exams in a month's time.. 3 papers, self-study.. Sianz..

Then after that, it's the RT club for me again.. Haha...

Then, office is going to move to the east side by either end of this year or early next year, away from the business district.. Sianz.. No more pretty girls to look at..

I seriously need a massage now.. Oh yar.. And a mate.. Haha..

Wasted Weekend..

I had diarrhoea yesterday.. And now, I am still feeling weak with my stomach being emptied yesterday..

I think this is because I had too much Fisherman's Friend sweets for the past few days.. I forgot that it has always caused me to have diarrhoea every time I take too much.. Damn...

Well, nothing new in my life to talk about I guess.. Work-wise, still the same.. Being crappy at work loh..

Then I'm the super anti-social type.. Haha.. Been having lunch alone.. Well, I quite like being alone I guess..

My lunch routine is always like this: 30mins lunch, take Today newpaper, go back office, on PC, read newspaper and start working..

Well, it's quite nice that during lunch time, there's not much people in the office where I ca nread my papers in peace and enjoy the tranquility....

Haha.. Think I should try to socialise more right??? I have changed.. Dunno why nowadays, I like to enjoy moments of peace and being alone.. Haha..

Hmm.. I got a bad feeling that a colleague within the department has some feelings for me.. But too bad, I've got none for her.. Haha.. But then again, it's just a suspicion.. Or maybe I think too much again??? Haha..

Sianz.. Wasted weekend..

Work..

Well, been at work for around 3 weeks now...

Culture and HR policies are good there... Currently, still ok..

Yesterday, went to Sentosa for a team-building event with a few departments..

There was like high, middle and low elements to conquer.. The high elements were obstacles many many metres away from the ground loh..

Something like those you see now TV, the wire walking.. At least I had a wire rope to hold onto also.. haha..

Well, I don't think anyone knows about this, but I have a height phobia.. After yesterday, I still have it.. Haha.. I don't know how I passed the obstacle though.. Maybe it's my over-whelming determination that overcame the fear..

Don't forget leh.. I am Sun Wu Kong reincarnate.. wahaha.. Just joking.. :p

Well, it was a rainy day yesterday, so naturally, I was all wet.. And I didn't bring any clothes to change.. Luckily didn't fall ill today..

Really tired today.. Expended too much energy again yesterday while at the team games.. All because I "Bankai" again.. Haha.. Or rather, I unconsciously took the lead again.. Shit man.. I'm always like that.. Cannot make it.. Hopefully the seniors are not offended at me leh.. If not, my career is gone again.. Haha..

Oh yar.. Had a sumptuous dinner yesterday at "No Signboard" restaurant at Vivocity yesterday, courtesy of the company.. Had lobster salad, sharksfin soup, crabs etc etc.. Maybe I was tired, which affected my tastebuds, but the crabs I had really cannot make it at all... The sauce taste was overwhelming the natural taste of the crabs and I think the crabs were over-cooked...

Hmm.. Well, I guess that for now, I'll stay at this job and see how first.. The HR policies and culture are pleasing to me at the moment..

Before I forget, gotta thank a Uni friend who taught me to encourage others.. I used to be very lacking in that.. But I guess to be a good future leader, I'll also need to learn to motivate the new generation who possesses different mindsets..

Boring Work...

Started working for 3 days already...

Well, I'm now doing claims with a insurance company..

First three days was spent on learning the system.. The dreaded AS400 popping up again.. Lousy system.. Really.. But.. It's still used by many companies anyway...

Well, I really think I made a wrong choice here.. Why in the world did I choose a backend operations job??? It's so boring!~!

And yap.. I am looking around for a job again.. This time, focusing on marketing or analyst.. But I'll stay on first till I've found a new job..

Maybe.. I'll go back to sales.. Just maybe.. Haha..

Oh well, colleagues are nice.. Culture's not bad in there.. Seemingly looks good to me in the first few days.. But.. I think that they have a lot for improvements in their processes..

How in the world can they keep on doing OTs and work on some Saturdays also??? Must have some problem somewhere.. I'll see what I can do once I start on the actual work in the next few days.. Haha.. Operational efficiency... Don't think it's that hard for me.. Wahaha..

Oh yar, I was attached to a colleague for the first few days and she was teaching me on the processes.. She is like those blur-cute, dunno anything type of girl.. And she's not pretty.. Sianz.. No motivation at work also liaoz.. Wahaha..

Well, I did learn some things from here... And I lost confidence in claims.. Haha.. Or rather, all along, being a perfectionist, I don't really have much faith in this world... Haha..

Well, if you want to compare, here is worse than DBS.. Really.. Initially, I thought that a foreign MNC with many many years of history won't be that bad..

But... Office ergonomics sucks... Computers are like so outdated.. Everything sucks and the saving grace is the nice culture there...

Well, depending on how, I might be doing my Masters next year with APMI again.. The Southern Illinois University, Carbondale.. One of the top Universities offering MBA.. Haha.. Or maybe an MBA from the University of South Australia...

An MBA from USA.. Then maybe banks will accept me.. Hahaha...

Work again tomorrow.. Sianz..
