Sad Sad encounter


In my previous blog I wrote about one phase of <>, Juli leave a msg to tell me that too difficult to understand.

Have anybody being betrayed by their best friend before???? OMG, recently I have experience it once again. It happen to me twice, once is my Primary school which we have been very close and knew each other for more than 15 year at the time I being betrayed. Current event is by a Friend which I knew for more than 10 years. People always say that once bitten twice shy, for my case being bitten twice should be ok when the third time occurred to me, right?

To me both incident cut deep to my heart, one is old wound which by now has already recovered. The other is new wound which now still bleeding ……………..

To carry hate / angry is too heavy for us as a working adult, all of us too busy with work yet need to shoulder all these kind of punishment. Who call us as human being???

Like to share this story with all my frens out there who read my blog.

Last year, “Mook” my ex-colleague told me a story which I myself have read thru an email circulation. Story is about one day there is 2 monks try to cross the river; at the river they saw a young lady who’s is trying to cross the river too. Due to the fact that she timid to cross the river by herself, therefore, the old monk agreed to carry her over the river.

The young monk keep cannot understand why the old monk did that as as a monk they should not have any body contact with women. On that nite, the young monk finally has the courage to ask the old monk why he carries the lady over the river on that afternoon. The old monk reply that I have already put down the lady once I carry her over the river, why are you still carry her till now?

The morale of the story is trying to tell us that once things happen don’t try to grieve over it, sometime things just happen and is beyond our control, there is an old say that “Don’t cry over the spill mike” This story have been keep me move on for the pass few month, I have down time in my career and personal life but whenever there is set back I always remember this story.

I wish to thank this person who circulates this email to me (which I cannot remember now) and all my friends that have stand by me.

New NOTEBOOK


Last Saturday (2 Dec 06) Jeron told me that there is an IT fair going on on “Suntec”, thank to her that she informed me the event going on so I decide to go to the show due to the fact that everyone knew that I keep wanted to buy a notebook as currently I don’t have any PC and home. Since I am leaving my current company so it become even more inconvenient to me without a PC / Notebook.

So on Sunday afternoon I happily go “Suntec” for the IT fair, “Oh my god” when I check with the information counter assistant where the event hold, she told me that there isn’t any IT fair going on in “Suntec”, so I call Jeron again to check where she got the information, she told me that she heard it over the “Radio – Yes 933”, so I ask where is the location the DJ mention and realize that it is held at “Singapore Expo” la. GOD, at that moment I ask myself “to go” or “not to go”, due to the fact that already travel half the distance so I tell myself why not just go……………………..

Aiyo, Singapore Expo was flooded with people, so many event hold at the same time, they have “John Little sales”, “Car show”, “IT fair” and etc.

Whoever knew me long enough will know that my IT knowledge is “Limited Co’s”, thanks to Shirley hubby who give me some advise and those sales persons whose hard sell their products, in the end I choose . This is which they have taken over from IBM, I put my bet on the big brother name “IBM” although my Notebook name is but the technology and skill should be very much same as IBM, right.

Choosing also due to the fact that it value for money, I paid $2k to have the lighter weight (1.95kg) compare to all other brand which cost more is the weight is less than 2kg and the software is more advance that other.

At last I have my own Notebook, although this is not the initial brand that I looking for, but is what I choose for myself. Hopefully I bet on the right side.

My successor


For long did not blog, today shall blog about things happen this week

My successor “Serena” has joined the RAP on 06 Nov 2006, on 1st day of work, she told me that in her previous jobs she don’t really use SAP and her experience is at high level, that meant she not a hand-on person la.

On 2nd day, she told me that she is going on leave on 4 Dec to 8 Dec and she worry that she not able to learn all the things from me, I told her that is not difficult and I told her that most of the things I learn myself so if I can make it, she should has no problem. She worry she hold everybody up and I suggest she talk to TBK on the next day.

Than on 3rd day, she on MC, all of them almost fell down, they say I gave her too much things, I say the things she doing now is less than 5% if that consider more, than I don’t know how she going to survive.

On 4th day, she told TBK that she not comfortable that she is on leave on Dec week without around to learn things and TBK told her not to worry and may change her jobs scope to reporting.

She told me the management has offered her the reporting jobs, now don’t know whether will she be still holding the same title.

Since like whole dept is not very shaky, my AO told me that she stay in the company because I am around, now I am leaving and she feel like go also, I told her to wait till confirmation in order to get all the benefit.

Hope by then I am out of this office. Feel a bit regret to serve such a long notice period.

Nice Quote


I would like to share this with all my friends out there………….. This is what I read from an email that send from my friend “Sarah”.

Sometime We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you.

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE.

Tentatively Resignation


Today (10/10/06) I have told AB that I wanted to leave the company. I told him that I am giving him an open resignation notice period. He feel sad about it and ask me what happen, I told him that physically and mentally I feel very tired working here. I share with him a few of the problem I facing here, but to him it is a small operation issues. Aiyo, bosses are so difficult to see our problem.

Basically, I told him that working with TBK is a challenge, he say he understand that that TBK got strong characteristic and we have to recognize that her business processor and accounting rules is good. Ya, Ya, but to me why must I take all her nonsense.

I shall with him on the issues that Annie have alert me that she may be looking for opportunity outside but TBK say I should have alert her, but my point is it Annie wanted to let her know Annie will inform her, but AB say that I should have bought it up and discuss with the management, if not TBK at least should be HR. I told him that I did discuss with HR but our conclusion is that we not able to solve her problem. He a bit sad that Annie is leaving and thinking of whether can we convert her to “Contract Staff” and let her work within office hour???? Me was task to speak to Annie tomorrow. Ok, will do so.

Has informed Lee Si that I may be leaving, she feel sad about it. She ask me if company paid me more, will I consider to STAY, I told her that is not the money part, is I physically and mentally very tired in working her. Look like I will be out of job in few month later. Hope to leave on 22 December 2006 and go for tour before embark to new assignment.

Wish me good luck…………….

What a happening day...............

Today, October 3………………………………

Before lunch our System Implementation Manager come and see me to have confirmation on who will be doing the Credit Management implementation and testing in our RCS system roll out……………………….

Guess what??? Got Arrow again, this time round is AB. Original plan is Helen supposed to head the credit management, due to the fact that she is not familiar, all have to push to TBK and Me have to assist on this. Hei Hei, everybody got time to take leave to travel …………… what about me. Now seriously must bring forward my plan on resigning and find another job.

Me now Mentally and Physically very tired. Joining this company for 6 mth and it has turned my life style upside down. No time for friends and family out there.

Timing is a bit bad as my plan is to change job next year, may be will leave and seriously spend some time traveling around. Na Na, since you have not found a job, let go travel together????

Today, Annie tender her resignation, she wanted to offset 2 days leave with her notice period, I told her that we can grant her, and when I bring her resignation letter to TBK, she told me that I should not have granted her and keep telling me that if you already agreed than I got nothing to say. (Shit men) How to continue to work with her???

Come the best part – Annie told her that before that she already alert me and this TBK told me when Annie told me, I say may be 1 month ago in actual fact is 1,2 week ago, think of saying longer she will feel better, than she say “You should have come and tell me that, I say when people told me briefly is she cannot make up her mind and she may want me to keep it confidential, than I say if people wanted to let you know she will come and tell you, guess what she say? She say, because they report to you therefore, they will not come and tell me”

Aiyo, come on la, face the fact, is all people can no longer face you therefore people wanted to leave la.

When she try to ask Annie to stay put, you guess what she say???? She told Annie, can you start until next year Feb to help us to go live, after that if you want to resign I will not stop you. See how idiot is my boss.

For all friends out there, if you all find that you boss is like shit, come and have a taste of mine.

She make me remember the joke of “Hell vs Heaven”, when hell is recruiting member they will show you the best picture and harmony, after you board the boat, then you will realize the real life style of leaving in Hell.

Ok, so much for today, see whether tomorrow or next week when AB is here, do we have more happening things happen.

Work Work Work..............


Today is 30 Sep06; a few of staff are working with me in the office...................

I have recently recruited 2 new staff, 1 doing AR assistant and 1 doing AP Officer.

Not too bad for the AR staff as she taking over my ex-AR assistant and she is still in the office with us, the not so good situation is the AP Officer as she took over from my ex-contract accountant which all my friends should know that toward the few weeks before she tender and on her notice period our relationship is very sour, therefore, for her to guide new staff with a few days is a bit difficult also, right?

Anyway, things happen, she did not teach them the right way and some of our balance sheet figure cannot be reconcile and charged out to Profit and Loss, no choice, me and the new AP officer work till 10.30pm yesterday in order to sort out what actions should be taken………………….. Sad, Sad, Sad. Nevermind, I told her that just take this as your learning curve and no pain no gain. “ Must have big , right”

Ok, as far that all for job, now talk about my friends………. Na Na. Although, something bad has happen to her, but just let her know that all of us will stand by her, just be strong.

Next to my friend who went Hong Kong for business, just want to say that you should update me if you have decide to extend your trip, not that wanted to be kapo over your life, but just want to let you know that when you told me when you should be back and never come back without any notice, you will make me wonder what happen to you…………………. With my tight working schedule and still need to worry about you, not fair, right?????

That about all for today…………………………..

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON



I am sending this to you to see how many actually read their e-mail. Your response will be interesting. Pay attention to what you read.
After you have finished reading it, you will know the reason it was sent to you.
Here goes:

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season!


LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.


Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
