Family back to our base residence in Kao Hsiung, Taiwan (Dec 07)
Somerset Residence has and should need to go for a total facelift but things had to be done phase by phase. I wanted to pay attention to details and continuosly improve each section of Somerset.
Once get back from work today, I'll uncluttered, reenergize and reorganize the entire house. It had been a while since I last did this and I could feel the need for a minor if not a major makeover. Somerset has to potray and exude that contemporary feel similar to its name. Had to put in some creativity here...
----------------------------
Life had been revolved much around my 9 to 5 job (deadly 9 hours) and of course managing my family business. It's taxing to take on two jobs. It's not a matter of choice, rather it's a need to sustain the family. Wouldn't say it would burn me out, just that at times this had led to a stressful me. The major problem had always been time management issues...insufficient time, stuck in traffic for hours and not much time to get things done.
Afterall, I think I'm stabilizing by this year end..my career is starting off with a good head start and other targeted areas have been established, are in place. Left "some" fine tuning, but I strongly feel that things are still long...long..away There's still so much to do and so many things require my attention.
I had always been telling myself to take things one at a time...to avoid further stressing myself, giving myself unnecessary pressure, which is not helpful at all!!..
Had been seriously thinking of visiting Singapore for sometime now and gosh..it's materializing. Initially, I thought I had to banish my thoughts on this due to financial reason...but it seems that I'm pushing this through the last minute.
Huh...passport not done, bus tickets not booked yet and itinerary not planned...there's so much stuff to do to ensure an enjoyable vacation...Travelling is just so tiring at times...well i should enjoy the process of planning the whole trip, change my mindset not to stress myself up so much by constantly thinking of work...work...I have to do this..have to do that...It's not helping me...
Should really relax, take things one at at time....duh!!stupid me...
Singapore..here I come!!!

Went to Mid Valley the other day to shop for my annual dinner outfit. Bough a set of coat + pants for RM699. Gosh! It's a bomb. Gonna repay this debt next month. It's my 1st set of suit and had been waiting for ages to own one.
Got this from G2000. Next I wanna get a business shirt with cuff link sleeves, a pair of cuff links and a nice silk tie....Not to mention a new mobile phone (N73) and nano I-pod.
Yeap, it's confirmed that I'm accepting a new role with OAC, member company of Great Eastern Holdings Ltd. Was offered the position as Management Associate, speacilizing in the area of Marketing.
Kate from HR GE(btw they called it Human Capital services) called in on Thursday to finalize some things, requesting me to go for medical check up and then requesting me to sign offer letter on coming Monday. Sure it's good to join this company, given that you get to do stuff that you're intersted in and add values to the company.
I think it's a great leap forward for me and can't wait to assume this challenging position. Looking to do something strategic for sometime, I believe this would best way to show my capability, strength. I'll give my 101% and my enthusiasm towards this position.
I promise myself not to dissapoint my family, my manager, this company and most importantly myself...I'll brave it through
YEAH!!I can now wear my business shirt, ties and dressed up in my professional attire. Since I work for HSBC where business attire is not mandatory, my shirts had been laying there screaming for attention!! Pick me up! Pick me up! Now, finally I got the chance to wear them :-)
One thing is that I did not ask too much about the benefits they offer except of my salary, I'm sure annual leave would be very much the standard as of most company.....The reason is i really don't want to question too much although it's my right....not silly though....this position already offers me the best chance to learn, gaining expertise and not easy to get in.
I couldn't have asked more. Leave it to God, leave it to karma. If you have the good karma, all things would fall in place. Otherwise you can't force yourself, anyway..no matter how.
I have faith in God and (of course my karma) that things would be good to me...I believe the power of prayers....I believe things would be better. It does!!It had been proven...by me joining this company....this is what I had asked for...it materializes...
Mentioning food and I go yippie...eating is one of my passion. It's really important to me since I do workout a lot and need calories in order for me to sustain my body. Naturally I'm an ectomorphosis who won't gain much weight although I can eat as many as 7-8 meals per day.
Some people think that I'm crazy or "kuat makan", well not really cos I do have to bulk up and am consistently working out. Working out can cause you to eat more.
28th October also marks the beginning of MCG in a rather different way...well basically MCG would be normally held on Saturday night and hosted by one of our kind, member host. However, this time the chosen venue is Baan 26 and held on a Sunday night...which is a bit special as it had been previously.
BTW, am looking forward for this MCG as I had been absent for most of the activities. Missed some of my dear friends in LPG.
