2010

Was browsing some blogs and seems that some bloggers have consolidated their 2010, so I thought I should do the same.

2010 for me...
1. joined my current company P**s*s***s as Regional HR Executive.
It is a struggle but I would say still surviving. It is a learning process, especially in terms of how to manage difficult people and work with weird people. Realised that working in my previous hotel really limits my view. Coming over here might not be the best choice I have ever made, but I am definitely grateful to have this exposure.

2. Went to BKK alone. Something which I never thought I would do as I thought that BKK is a relatively more dangerous place. In the end, BKK is definitely safe and it helps that I am naturally dark as well. Though it is not my best trip, at least I have fulfilled my honour in going back to pray to the 4 faced Buddha.

3. Went for KL trip with a bestie. It was a good trip and without doubt I have enjoyed it. At least we have 1 trip saved in our memories.

4. Discovered 流沙包 -- the one which will really 流. :) It is my love now.

5. Finally learnt how to appreciate having a sister who entertains me. When I was young (and 不懂事), I kept thinking why should I have a sister. But now I am appreciative of her being there to entertain (and irritate) me.

6. I am definitely always appreciative of my mother who has single-handedly brought up myself and my sister (and Hersheys). It is definitely VERY difficult and she has done it. Not everyone is able to do it.

7. Introduced my 2 best friends to each other to form 3 best friends. :)

8. Still keeping good contacts with the Ninis/ SIM schoolmates. Davis gotten married this year and Daniel and I were the emcees for his wedding banquet. First time as emcee, definitely nervous, but happy to be part of the great wedding event for Davis and Qiuying.

9. Second time being jiemei. This time for Doris' and Eric's wedding. Great fun.

10. Left the hotel with achievements of my own -- doing the Retirees Lunch by adding a theme to the event, coordinating successfully with the Anniversary Awards, giving standup presentations to Security department and F&B managers. It is usually not possible for a HRE to do all these but I have strived for my own good. I am proud of myself.

11. Applied my first credit card under my own name. :)


Seriously cant remember more. I am so preoccupied with work/ my own career planning that I cant think of anything else for 2010. I especially have not much recollections of the first half of the year. Initially I could only think about my job change for 2010. Hope there will not be another change in 2011 -- I simply cant afford to keep changing. It is very bad for my resume.

2011 will be another exciting year. Again, I will work towards developing myself during my stay with my current company. I will meet up with lots of challenges, but I am sure I will get over them. When I leave the company, hopefully in April 2012, I will have developed good communication skills and a deeper trench hole for work stress. I will be better in managing difficult people and I would have achievements in some projects. I will be proud to call myself having regional experience. It is not going to be easy, especially since I work under JB, but I will keep trying. I need not love her, but I will need to know how to work under her.

加油 for 2011! :D

Random - parents vs children

In our constant attempts to be filial by trying to meet our parents demands, we can be very frustrated and vexed, as there are opportunity costs to very decision we make. If I ever have children, I think I will be one of those spoilt parent; a pain in the ass to them.

Life is vicious cycle. One day someone is depending on us, the other day we will need to depend on others. This is the never ending relationship between the parent and the child.

Watched Shrek 4 today, then went to the library and then for dinner today.

Shrek 4 is quite good. Teaches us not to take things for granted.

I was just browsing the books at the library then I came across a book which aims to promote happiness. It was a boring book but there were 2 phrases that caught my attention.

Happiness is a choice.
Happiness is free.

Everyday we make a decision, if we are going to be happy that day. This is very difficult, but seemingly, if we make a decision to be happy the moment we wake up, we can be a bit happier.

We are actually born with the ability to be happy, but as we grow, we somehow forget how to be happy. As a result, we try to buy things and spend lots of money with the aim to make ourselves happy. Coming to think about it, is that really necessary?

我相信

我相信:冥冥注定现在的你遇到现在的我。若以前的你遇到以前的我,可能我们就不会是那么好的朋友 - 因为那时的你可能不削我这个朋友。

好希望自己能相信自己的价值,但四周围的人与事都证明了不管我有多努力,在他人心目中,我似乎永远排不到第一顺位。

Dilemma

I am unsure. Not sure if I should continue in the hospitality industry. I have mixed feelings. I like the industry, yet I loath the low pay and the frog-in-the-well feel. I feel that I am faring relatively well currently. Not sure if I will be able to get take it that I am at the bottom of everything, not sure about everything and know nothing about everything.

Nevertheless I know I have to leave to widen my perspective, to learn more for greater growth.

When will I leave? I am not sure.
