Today = Polling Day! This will be my 2nd voting experience. Somehow i felt so much difference.
Probably becos my thoughts are different now, and perhaps external factors plays a part too. Really feel much more politically interested pple have sprout out from nowwhere. Everyone seems interested into politcal matters.
Issues regards to nation-building, community woes seems so important to everyone. And other than those coffeeshop uncle talks -sometimes baseless - internet plays a BIG part. Really BIG.
Many more friends seems very inclined into political matters. Views and comments flying all around. But i like some of their views. Those points somehow did give me new dimensions of thoughts. Of course, I still hold my point in some principles.
Without doubt - the oppositon parties are much stronger this time round. Candidates are more capable in paper terms - educated, interested and talk more sense.
With so many new politcally inclined people coming out to show themselves, hopefully it signals a new pathway for the people to analyse and decide.
Whether the type of lifestyle we had - has been comfortably accepted by the people, and we should continue it that way. Or going for a different form of politics - where more people have the chance to question, and provide the foundation for what maybe a different era and leadership in maybe 10yrs time.
Each holds its own - decide your future.

2wks into life in Siglap Branch, finally i can have a slight confidence to say i am starting to feel better.
Had this "withdrawal" feeling initially - not quite used to the distance and environment though. A place 2times bigger - sales 3times better kind of branch. Somehow feels the pressure in thinking how to turn the branch better.
This one posts a bigger challenge in my own context, Stirling had a clear picture - make it back to profitable terms, Do what you can - what u need and just go and do it - nothing is too little to make it afloat.
Siglap is a little more challenging - i have to rethink everything. Somehow mistakes is not advisable - i dun want to make sales drop and it will be unthinkable.
Finally, i managed to do somethings i liked doing. Displaying something and seeing it get sold is really a good feeling, and thats probably what a retailer feels good abt..
Getting a little more hands-on has been on my mind for 2wks, and i finally managed to find loopholes for me to show my worth. Being a manager is no fun if i dun get to touch things - thn i might as well go become Admin.
Hope things turns out well in the upcoming projects, probably abt 10+ projects instore for Siglap and a few is already well underway. Not too bad for a 2wk period - and for my 2nd branch..haha..
Stay tuned...

Final Day at Stirling - everything handed over and done with. Nothing emotional, just a little sad that time really flies... Officially, its 11months since i took the branch. Not even celebrating the 5/5 - 1st Anniversary - and i have to go already. Well, looking at everything - it seems a good thing to go as a career advancement. I cannot do much more at Stirling is the next sad thing that bothers me. Plenty of projects up my mind - but i would have to let my successor do it at her will. Being my 1st branch - i am quite pleased and satisfied with all and achievements done. Similarly, we did many "firsts" and plenty of record-breaking sales and accompishments. Perhaps, one important thing i did was to fight and attain those incentives for them to enjoy. Went for appraisal today - at JW and waiting for KS. He did not seem to recover much better, but i guess that would take time. To fall badly during your 50s is not a very desirable thing - just hope he recover fully soon. I believed i had done well enough, i did almost what i can within the year. Let any incentives come, i would just take it. A new chapter for me - tomorrow - at Siglap. This might be a new challenge to me. Awaiting the summary explanations from my predeccessor. I just hope everything turns out fine and i would do my best. Many pple encourages me alot and i really hope results would show for itself. To go further in this career path - my ultimate aim!!

I was back to branch today - to repaint some walls, as requested by my GrpMgr. Somehow i did not really understand why he was so hardcore abt it. I needed to to it within 3days to show him - with pictures.
LLST = LanLan SuckThumb go back on my REST day to Paint those bloody walls.
Took awhile though, but it did went smooth. The rain was luckily manageable - not too heavy to stop me from this special trip back to branch.
Just as i was painting halfway, one of my RAs spoke something. Saying i was one of the better Mgrs for him - always teaching him things he nver knew. That i could understand their plight as a RA and being a good example.
Those words did really touched my heart for a while. I did not expect him to say in straight though, but i sure do hope to have had made an impact in them. Well, I honestly would have said - i gave my ALL for the branch.
Of course, even with the short amt of days left in Stirling - i would just do what is best. Need to tie up the balance issues that i can settle. I know how tough it can be - my predecessor did not do a terrific job = i had to overcome many things.
All in all - it is into the final 2wks into the helm at Stirling. Enjoyed many great moments - beating records and setting many 1st-times here.
And also changed of destination = NEW BRANCH is now SIGLAP. Quite ok - no competitors haha..A little better than CHAI CHEE to me.
Hopefully things will turn out well - starting from tomorrow till i handover the branch.

A very long while already.
Firstly, i would have to say images of the aftermath from Japan Earthquake, really brought another wakeup-call = Do not take things for granted. Luckily, in SG - we still can think abt future, tomorrow etc. I guess many in this disaster would have theirs destroyed.
And to add we were suppose to go Tokyo for company retreat, i dunno how it will work out. Abit worried too.
Things went smoother for me though, It seems that i am slated to move on from Stirling Branch. Exclusively here - i would be going to ChaiChee, near Bedok.
Very challenging place i guess - Bedok Town is a damn "busyful" place, Highest density heartland in SG. A bigger store for me and more tough tasks coming up.
I had a very good time here in Stirling and is quite sad to leave it too. Still had many projects up in my mind to transform the place. Pitiful really i have to let go to venture further for my career path. Sighzzzz...
Thinking ahead, I would have to leave for others to have a chance too. Hopefully she can do a good job and continue my legacy...haha.

Ohwell it has come right infront of us - Year 2011.
I was reading the PM New Year Message and thought perhaps i can have one of my own too... haha..
Looking back @2010 (Key Events) 1. Unfortunate Event and had to spent another 10months in/out of NUH. 2. Promoted and Taking over a branch. 3. Somewat successful to overturn the branch from loss to profit.
Quite an eventful year indeed, it began with a lowest point of my life. Worst mood ever - sighzzz, i thank anyone who has had helped in making her back. Thank u so much.
Having being promoted sure has changed alot in my life, the responsibility and environment has indeed been different. I hope i do not let down those pple that had gave me this chance.
I do get to learn how important true friends are, being linked up and connected to share and enjoy together. I have managed to organise quite afew events to gather many of my friends/army mates. It was quite tedious but has got this sense of achievement.
In the year to come of 2011, I hope: 1. JY will be well and kicking - to get back to majority of what she was. 2. Consider Taking Class 3 Licence. 3. Must complete my Flyer wish.
I hope the year would be good. As i need alot of it.

Probably will be doing lesser things here. I have a very big feel that things are getting more into my hands. More work, more duties, more things to handle with.
Sometimes i try to do something here, just to reflect on myself. It has been really great with pple's nice words here too.. I am not a attention seeker though, but i think its not getting too consistent.
Not forcing myself to updates here becos i feel so boring with myself too..haha.. Dunno why. Work work work, I guess its just so plain boring. Well, we shall see how.
I hate to give this site up, something that i have perservere for so long. We shall see how it goes, probably age is catching up too. Not much motivation.
Aedios.

I didnt know its abt one month since i updated something here.. Almost forgotten abt it..haha.. Anyway - no comments so i think probably no one came here also..
Well..one important thing would be my gf is finally back at home.. After 10months spent in NUH - and the place almost became my 2nd home.. Now i kindof miss going there...haha. Abit stupid.
I am a little into the current hot-topic of the "Gang-Fight" case, shall not say much - but would just comment that its quite obvious, HE is done-ed by the frends.. the actions speaks a million words. Good boy - perhaps. But his friends have helped to tarnished everything..
Talking abt frends, sometimes miss having those chat-rot (especially when stress@work) I also successfully organised the biggest gathering so far.. A Paintball game @ Bottletree Park - phew it was tough..but i love it..haha Some other events up my mind - Prawning, Go-Kart, ANother Paintball..haha
Planning for upcoming big-events also, thinking of taking up Class 3 lessons - probably after CNY2011. The busiest period of the year.

Things did not go quite well going into this October month.. I suffered bizzare things and i dun quite like it..
I will still need to mingle ard NUH for somemore time.. I had tea spilled on my white shirt.. Staff starting to give stupid problems.. I did not quite get the outcome i wanted at work..
Sighzz..come to think of it.. I hope i tide over this dark period soon pls...
Hmm..I also made some breakthrough though..haha.. New Specs, New bed, New Card..haha.. I hope my new wardrobe and new office chair can come real soon too.. Get the word...>>NEW.. NEW = Spent Money..
I am the bloody kind that do not spent much.. But if i spent ar....even i myself is shocked at the expenditure..
Organising a Paintball game for the Delta mates.. Byfar would be the biggest event i probably organised... Hope everything goes well..(i dun money anyway) But sometimes i do like the feeling of gathering pple and seeing enjoyment..
Maybe i can try my hands on Event Management hor..haha..
Recently thinking abt taking up Class 3 licence.. But as per past experience..I may need up to 1yr to finalise what i think.. Haha..simply becos i gt plenty of things up my mind.. And i need time and space to slot into what i can do... Hmmmm..should i or should i not....????
