Yesterday was quite a busy day for me, duh! I was not intending to work this holidays; just wanna stay home, watch TV, go to movies, sleep, etc... That was the reason why I did not call my Head at UOB Bank. How unexpected! Instead of him calling me, it was the Human Resource department of UOB which called me now. Asked me if I was available to work at UOB Tampines Center from the 17th of September till school reopens. "hmmm... Great~ Now, how? Yes or No?" I agreed because, next time, I will depend on her to get me a job! lols. If I do not agree now, maybe next time I really cannot find a job! =D So, accepted it and she told me to go to HR at UOB Plaza 1, Raffles Place, to sign the contract and some documents stipulating that all papers will be kept confidential, including my salary? hahas. Expected it anyway, after all, it's been so many times that I signed those pieces of paper?... The HR, Hui Ling, was a nice person la! So friendly, unlike the previous Head of HR, also another Hui Ling, which looks so fierce. Of course, looks are deceiving! hahas. Actually, both were very friendly la! Hilarious, to be precise! lols.
What an irony! I was working with UOB's Personal Financial Services, Credit Management Division @ Toa Payoh all along, and now, I got posted PFS / CCOD - Pre Processing division! I don't really liked that arrangement! I know my colleagues at UOB Credit mgmt well, and I get to lunch with fun people like them. Now, a totally new environment. So, what's the irony? PFS/CMD deals with defaulted loans, Consumer Credit, etc. PFS/CCOD deals with pre-processing the documents that customers whom wants to take up loans! btw, CCOD stands for, if I am not wrong, Consumer Credit Operations Division? Hope my new Head would be another nice person? lols. If not,... ...
Okay, so some people say I am competitive? Some say I am hardworking? Have high expectations of myself and my subordinates? Am determined and strong-headed? I tend to look at things for another perspective and far-sighted?
So, what am I? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Am I too bent on on focusing on my future, and neglecting the present? I really don't know. Now-a-days, I can't even be bothered to talk and think about relationships after all the mistakes I have made in the past... Someone, enlighten me, please!~

Love and Hate? God and Saturn? Heaven and Hell? What is the difference? How do you think they came about?
Love and Hate - I personally have seen many things in Life. What is Love; what is Hate? The answer is so simple until people have seen to have either forgotten the true essence or have misinterpret it. If someone is going to ask me the same question, my answer is also very simple. "The difference between Love and Hate is only a thin line. By rights, there should be no difference. How you differentiate between Love and Hate is based on your feelings as time of description." The same goes for the difference between God and Saturn; Heaven and Hell.
Without Love, how can there be hate? Hate usually follows if Love fails and/or there is a change of heart. Isn't that true? Alternatively, it is also possible that too much Love (over-loving) results in hate? This occurs when you want the best for that person and things never happen to go your way; you end up blaming that person whom you wanted to best for. It's a sad thing, really, that many people do not know when to pick up and let go, forgive and forget. If only, one knows when to channel his thoughts and feelings to the right path at an appropriate time, this should not have happened. For myself, I have experienced what was described above and this is also the reason why I tend to take things in my own stride now a days, leading a care-free life; other than academic examinations! =(
God and Saturn; Heaven and Hell? God = Heaven, Saturn = Hell? No, that is not true. How and What factors do you determine who's who. The answer lies in your heart, your mind. If you want to be God and go to Heaven, you do it with your own capabilities and doing good deeds (with knowledge) may help you achieve your goal. If you want to be Saturn and go to Hell (I don't think anyone would welcome that), it is also within your own reach. How do you do good and meaningful deeds? Does that mean you sympathize with everything a person who is going downhill does, and allow him to do everything he wants? No.
To help people, you will have to help with knowledge. Citing an example, take the most common problems nowadays - Academic and Relationships. Person A has a group of good friends. They go out together almost every time and do things together, from personal affairs to academic matters. Person A's grades are going downhill drastically and would be on the verge of retaining in no time. A's group of friends are also worrying for her and wished to help her get back on track. However, it is A's attitude towards things that make it so hard for people to help A. Yes, at this juncture, it is comforting to know that A's friends are willing to lend a helping hand to A. But, does A appreciate it? Look on the other perspective and between the lines. Based on the modular academic system, group projects, exams and assesments are computated to derive the results. A could not seek help from peers during individual exams and assessments. But during projects, A does not help in anything and do the barest minimal too. A's peers would then be doing everything for her. Now, you tell me, is that helping her pass? Even if it was, is it the correct methodology?
Frankly, my answer is NO. What A's peers are doing, are only condoning her attitude and taking advantage of the situation. However, by reverse psychology, A's peers should make their stand firm that if A does not contribute, it shall be reported as the whole truth. This would make A realise that if one does not help him/herself, no one else can. What is the use of complaining that A is not contributing, and at the same time, covering A's duties? Now, you tell me, will it be doing A good? Does that make you God and go to Heaven? Is that a Love for a friend or only generating a hatred? As the saying goes, "You can teach a man how to fish; you cannot fish for a man. Even if you fish for a man, will it be indefinite?". Think, ponder, reflect... ...

Ahh!! This is getting more and more absurd as people view my previous entry. I thought that entry was just a personal perspective, not subjected to others' thoughts. I seriously have to clarify one thing - before things really get out of hand - what ever I said, thought, whatever it may be, has no relation to a specific person at all. It is all just an observational hypothesis that I made. =X
Thus, I have heard, there was this saying of guys from a girl, "Men are like parking lots. The good men are the lots which have long been taken; those remaining are the handicapped ones." Then, I have said, I overturned this what-so-ever theory, "Girls are like chocolates. The fanciful packages are nice; the chocolate sucks! The plain type of wrappers; not appealing on the outside; heavenly on the inside." I have edvidence to support my comment(s). Look at those chocolates from CandyEmpire @ ViVocity, they do not have fanciful packagings - but they are so expensive. When you open the wrapper, that miserable chunk of chocolate looked so out-of-shape; sink the teeth in, savour that sweetness, that bitterness - So Heavenly! (*pUkEs to their counterparts from "you-know-where"*, God knows if they really are chocolate and not some other types of industrial dyes with worms in them?)
Alternatively, you can say, "Girls are like cars. The virtuous ones are like continental cars - all waiting to be snapped up. Those left are cars from all other countries... etc; only to be used temporarily." Yes, there is truth to that. Continental cars are more faithful in the sense that they are more resilent and can go an extra mile as compared to their non-continental counterparts. =D
Long-distance relationships (LDS)? Can they last? I saw this thread on STOMP's forum. Some of the comments were worth reading and pondering; the others? Just childish. yucks! I was wondering too, can it really last? haha. Yes and No, if you are going to ask me for my answer. It really depends on the couple, their age v.s. level of maturity. How so? If you are still a student involved in LDS, my answer to that would be negative. However, if you are already working and have no other committments, congrats. Happiness is in your hands. Ponder over what I said; you might just find light to your problem if you are one who is involved in LDS or SDS too?
MOST Girls (mainly in Singapore) look out for guys who are influential, powerful, capable, and have the 5Cs - namely Credit Cards, Condo, Car, Cash and Country Club membership. Why are they getting more and more materialistic?! Is this the doing of Education - that only the strongest survives? I believe that this would be more appropriate to guys. If girls can choose guys based on the 5Cs, then I believe (and I will abide to my principles) that guys can also choose girls based on 5Cs too. They are:
Character, Charisma, Capability, Caring and Constitution (a combination of personality, virtue, etc).
DISCLAIMER: This entry is meant for mature readers only. If you think you are not one, and will go complaining and procrastinating about it, please - GET A LIFE! Depending on your age, I can only say - You have wasted the Rice and Milk you have consumed. =DD

o.O I think there is something seriously wrong with me! arigh! Let's start with today's events - SCL stuffs.
S = i forgot what was that.. lols.
M = Measurable
A = Accessible / Attainable
R = Response / Review / Realistic
T = Time
F = Flexibility
A = Attitude
T = Teamwork
C = Confidence
A = Aptitude
T = Time
Had a training session today; just based on intellect. Quite OK after all. Though it was so humid and I felt so sleepy after that! I couldn't really what does SMART stands for; but FATCAT? - No problem! =DDD *My philosophy!~* hahas.
One more thing I am beginning to realise! =S I am beginning to lose interest in girls - Singapore girls, I mean. =X Why? I am not too sure of the reason myself. I just find that Singapore girls are losing their attraction powers - in the sense that they tend to over doll themselves until they look BEAUTIFULLY UGLY! I am serious! Walk down orchard road and you will see those Singapore female teens all dressed until it's as if they originate from Japan! WTH! Aren't they proud to be themselves? What's more, you hear them talking like typical Ah Lians that seemingly attract the WRONG attention!
On the contrary, their other SEA counterparts are much better. Take for example, the Philippines, Indonesian Chinese, Malaysian Chinese, etc - they are much demure, virtuous and realistic. They are more down to earth and of course, they are NOT BEAUTIFULLY UGLY. They look pretty and beautiful even without those whatever makeups you call that. What's more, they have the radiant kind of complexion that needs no covering-up. =DDD On top of that, they are not the Hypocrite type of people; they treat others with respect and are genuinely heartwarming people. But of course, they are not perfect; who is? But, in an overall comparison, I think my stand is oblivious. If someone is going to ask me - How do I see a person, here's it:
Character
Attitude
Personality
Virtue
Looks
Mannerlisms
The words may seem very close in meaning, in actuality, they are worlds apart. I do not dare say the above was true if I have not experienced myself. Nonetheless, not all the Singaporean girls are as described above, but giving the benefit of doubt to the ever-changing social and demographics, I won't be surprised if... ... It's a sad thing indeed that they do not have a mind on their own.
For those reading this entry, PARENTAL GUIDANCE IS ADVISED if you think you are not mature enough to understand the meaning of personal perceptions. =D *Get what I mean? =X*

Okay, great! Exams are over, so are the 6 long weeks of holidays! I haven't got anything planned up and so far, I have only been watching movies online everyday. I have no intention of finding a job since this is the only holiday I have since I began tertiary education! =D
Dropped by ViVoCity yesterday (for the first time!) to redeem my FILA pouch, enrol for "Pay by Touch" @ CITIBank and went to buy chocolates at CandyEmpire (www.candyempire.com.sg). Seriously, those candies are really expensive! And, they live up to their name - Candy Empire. They have literally EVERYTHING there, those sweets from Belgian, Australia, Etc... Imagine, $3.80 for a 100g of chocolates! Less than 5 pieces mind you! THE BEST THING: I wanted to make payment using VISA, and they said, "VISA purchases for spending above $20"! I was like WTFFFFFFFF! Had to drop those items, went to ATM, draw $20 and make payment! KNS! Blardy SHIT!
Oh ya, there will be a chalet on the 17-19th of this month at NSRCC Tanah Merah. I hope I would not have anything on that week! =D
