"Me new StrateGy.."

How's working life so far? So far so good...hehe..I'm kinda in a good company now, one of my original good friends when I first started werk. She has a pleasant personality and it's a pleasure talking to her too..besides she's my age too so we understand each other's sentiments. But you know how it is sometimes....somehow one person can get along better than the other person, if let's say there's more than two person in the group. We had this 'floater'...someone who'll come in our team temporarily to help out if one of us is taking half day or is on medical leave. The way they communicated, it's like they have a thousand of things to talk about. On the day before, they had worked with each other before and so did I the last week with the same person. But it's like they had worked for days. But who am I compared to her..I am 'boring'..hahaha....both of them share the interests in watching indonesian so-called real life 'horror adventures' in vcd format. They were like comparing stories and the scare factor. I, err....I skip horror movies entirely. Except maybe the movie Samara: Ring 2 coz I participated in a movie trivia hoping to win free tickets..heh heh..Oh, and the one where my colleague cum team mate was talking about how some malay food stall, in the past, attracted people to come at their shop by...get this.....dumping an underwear in the broth. The state of underwear..e.g clean or otherwise..is unknown. It adds to the 'oomph' factor which made people often coming back for more. Interesting..but disgusting.

The onlie story I can share is how some people, true to this day, used black magic to attract people to come to their food stalls especially at where there is fierce competition. Like the one in hougang, which my mum warned me not to buy, apart from their unhiegienic cooking (smoke and cook at the same time), saying that once you buy, you have the tendency to buy again and again because they cast a spell on you..wat the?!!! But the one my colleague was saying was in regards to the famous satay place, the Lau Pa Sat where the whole stretch is manned by satay sellers, and obviously there's fierce competition. One of her friends, who supposedly has the 'third' eye, can see ghosts or otherwise. And he spotted two black figures, standing uprite at one of the stalls, like bodyguards, which got him rather horrified. It made him to immediately move away from there and kinda ruined their plans of eating there.

So, bottomline is, me being me, sometimes try to just throw in a topic for conversations' sake, and I guessed my topic on how some shops, people just keep coming back for more, does the trick. I guess u can't shut me out completely..hehe..you're talking about rahayupopz here, hello?

Anyway hopefully, things will kinda pick up some speed and I get to know more interesting topic to talk about.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
