TT

Sobz...
Very bad luck tonight, tried to pay for my air ticket online but the transaction screwed up, now they say they will hold my transaction for 18 hrs and I have to call their hotline tmr (if they are open, since its public hols)... crossing my fingers...

Wanted to rent my regalia online and applied for dates for studio photo taking...
but then my whole family dun wanna confirm with me the dates they are free... sobs sobs... and then now that i have decided on a date, the online system doesn't take any of my credit cards... sob sobs... hope no one stole my numbers and buy stuff...

Emotional now.... TT
G.I.P

I am now at The nielsen company (for those who don't already know), and was hired as a graduate trainee.. they always have fancy names for their graduate programs, i mean every company have some good names for their graduate programs... like hsbc calls them young business leader program, citi calls them management associates and for nielsen, they call it the Graduation Induction Program, abbreviated as G.I.P..... reading it backwards, I somehow find it a bit difficult to convince myself that it is pure coincidence that it spells P.I.G.


An update: I would be in Singapore from 6 Nov and 10 Nov... sorry I know this is probably a sucky time but oh well, not everything goes according to plan...


Saw this on Danny's blog and it amuses me so much that I decided to copy it here to share: Danny was sharing the interesting msn his frens had and one of them was ' Citi & undergrads share the same slogan: they 'never sleeps'.... Lucky or unlucky me, I am no longer an undergrad...

Ox of the same kind graze together

An adaptation of the "Birds of the same kind flock together"

Realized that we are rather free, its really pure enjoyment to chat with ox. Crap about everything under the sun, from inflation to financial market... from educational to Notti stuffs...

Nothing to hide..... Lets go onsen together!

Feeling down?

Typhoon Hagupit didn't come along at its most timely. When I woke up, it's as if nthg happened and back to another ordinary day.

People who lived in New York are commonly called New Yorkers
People who lived in London likewise called Londoners
In Hong Kong, Hong Kongers
How about people living in Hamburg? [Yupz.. u got that right =) ]

Making up for our sins~

Ever wonder why at the offices, people put some plants at their desks.... there are those who say some particular plants like the bamboos can bring good luck when for me, I say many people do it because they realize that they have been killing too many trees by printing endless copies of documents... so people try to make up for their sins to the environment by growing some plants....

And no exception for me too.. trying to atone for my un-environmental attitude at work...

Long weekend! Yeah cos of the Mooncake festival....

What a week, a week in which I probably learnt the most at work and took many life lessons out of it. Communication and establishing relationships with others are both really an art of life and essentials for any workplaces.

Some pretty cool and inspiring quotes from my boss and colleagues to share:

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Don't assume cos it makes an ASS out of U and ME (ASSUME)

I liked the last one best though all three applied to and described my week. Definitely going to enjoy myself this long weekend and hopefully the same for you too.

The cost of being environmental friendly

Does it pay to be environmental friendly or do we PAY to be environmental friendly...

Or we pay to be environmental friendly so that it pays to be environmental friendly....
