Driven at Work

I just watched the undercover boss episode at xinmsn on the episode on white castle. It was inspirational learning about the people that work there, their fears, their hope and ambition. The ones that made me rather emotional is how they don't treat their job as just a regular job at white castle. They are very driven because they feel like they need to keep going. Some of them do it because they want to continue providing for their family while some do it to get the exposure of working in a restaurant while harbouring a dream of opening one themselves.


Of course they didn't know they are actually talking to one of the owners of white castle. He learnt a lot about his company in the production lines and frontline and how they aint easy jobs. Howver these very people depended on these jobs to make a living and they do them well because they want to continue to support themselves and their families.

Overall, it was heartwarming. For me it used to be me just going through the motion at work but nowadays I feel like I want to be more driven like them. I want to work as hard as them and hope for a promotion so that I get a better pay and be finally able to save to fund my studies. I don't want to earn money to fund shopping but I want to use it for the future and the family.

Birthday Gathering & House Hunting

Last week, I celebrated a friend of mine's belated birthday together with another friend at her condo. Sadly, this would be the last time we would hold the celebration at her place because she has finally managed to sell off her condo unit after one year of looking for a buyer. Mostly we used the swimming pool facilities although the two of us didn't swim at all but just chill under the shade. We brought home cooked food and I really appreciated my friend for doing this for us, thinking about how the young son of a friend of us would love the swimming pool for kids. She is so selfless and kind to her friends and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life.  While one was selling off the house, the other friend was on the verge of getting a dream house for herself and her young son. In life, we have many priorities and things to look forward to. Each of our dreams and aspirations are different from one another, like for me, getting a house is not a priority at the moment.  ...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...
