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!!
