Living It!

Pushing on

2009-08-31T07:58:00.000-07:00

i wan to say im really tired.
the temptation of giving up is so great..

trying to push on...

back from a break

2009-07-07T06:43:00.000-07:00

well, finally i got my result, about few weeks ago, i still feel darn nervous,
i thought i will flunk the entire course.
4 module, got a couple of Bs... a C, not a good result to be proud of.
the least, i got my prayers answered...

but its never been easy, coping with money woes, work stress, peer pressure, plus some reservist training. i cant deny the fact that, i cant stop myself thinking of the past luxury that i used to enjoy.
however what ever happens, just try to keep myself on the track.

next sem i have 5 modules coming up, dont expect this to be another walk in the park.
this is personal, dont expect any help from others...
at least i can still tell myself, its not so bad at all...

lasty, i still look forward for the taiwan trip that charlie was talking about.
hopefully i'll get my 13th mth in dec and by that time i will have enough leave to go for a decent holiday.

so wat when u fall? get up, life still have to go on..

2009-05-25T09:15:00.000-07:00

So what when everything seem to be down and what ever you done seems to be failing.
life still got to goes on.

Learn your lesson and move on man...

Tomorrow will be a better day!

back with more whinings

2009-05-24T07:27:00.000-07:00

its been long since i last wrote something, exams been keeping me busy for the last few weeks.
i don't want to talk about the exam, cause i know i most likely flunk the 1st two papers.
to tell you all the truth, of nobody in my office have yet to know that....

im actually looking for another job.
im looking for MarCom (Marketing Communication) position.
the reason that im looking for another position is actually because i have simply seem enough of this political shit that my current company is having. the funny thing is i seen a Manager sack off a asst Manager just because of him not getting in good terms with her. Where the hell, can this kinda thing happen in any other corporate desk? this manager is not using her ability to promote, simply using her boot licking skills to become a manager. Everyday keep kaypoh about things that doesnt concern her. and im not talking about my manager, she's have no right to question about me. my direct boss is even Senior than her.

seriously, i dont want others to see me weak, as in i cant stays in a place for long.
another reason is that im looking for this position is because, i want to do something related to my field of studies. because if i graduate from my degree, i will still get a fresh graduate pay just because the reason that i having irrelevant work experience.

yes, i sound impatient, and im infact a very very impatient person. i dont like to waste time doing something worthless. i hate being unapreciated, i hate doing so much in the end fingers start pointing at me. i hate wasting time and effort. i believe this is a peak that i must work hard in now, not later.

exams!

2009-04-26T09:49:00.000-07:00

mugging time, in two weeks i going to have my 1st paper of my 1st sem...
well, overall its still manageable... all i know is that my process's is too slow.
i didnt really study much these days, next 2nd i have a MCQ question about
action learning.

darn i didnt even touch that...

well... good news is that my project in my office should be ending by this week. if nothing crop up. hope it wont mess up my exam...

well, it just sometime i just feel that these things i have end, nobody seen or appreciate it...
though there's time i feel shitty, i just tell myself, the reason im here, is for an objective.
and the objective is to study through my course for 3 years and at the same time i will look out for more chance to jump.
i can feel my confidence is slipping away bit by bit. need some moral booster somehow...
hopefully i can get my 7th leave and lets party on the sixth!

Apology

2009-04-20T07:34:00.000-07:00

i feel alittle stress out after doing all so many assignment... now its my turn to study for exams.... really hope i can pull through this.... sorry for the outburst, i need to control my emotion.
btw friends, i wont forget you all, you people are just like my sisters and brothers, see you on 6th of may my dearies!

Cant's stand it... really

2009-04-19T08:52:00.000-07:00

i dont understand, why cant people try to understand before they make conclusion to judge me? somebody who have with me all 23 yrs of my freaking life dont really know what i really want? why can people really understand why i behave this way, am i under a very heavy stress? do i need some time to be alone. im having the hardest time of my life now, why can i have some support instead of criticism? do you think i love to write all this?

why is that someone that is closest to me keep putting me down? i really want to get out of this home, which i dont really think its a home at all to me.

messy weeks ahead...

2009-04-12T07:08:00.000-07:00

The reason i MIA for a while is that all the assignment and projects regardless of office's or school's are dueing in a few weeks time. I can forecast the next few months will be very busy and fast pace. I can hardly breathe easy this time round with exam coming in mid-may and reservist coming in June. but 1st i have to deal with my financial status, apart from the school fees that i have to cover on my own, i still have old poly's debt to cover. My patectic salary doesn't seen to help to easing my woes.
There's many times i ask myself this question, m i really satisfied with the things i have now. i can tell you its a big no. there's many times i try not to compare with anyone, just that sometimes i just cant help it. Someone who is the same age as you holding a 3 k plus owning 2 landed property and a car. i must be wondering, what the hell have i been doing all this year. why the hell im struggling every month when im so darn thifty in my spending.
I just trying to stay optimistic about the futures, can hardly uplift my moral now. with no result produce i could hardly move on.

darn... what have i become...?

Unexpected...

2009-04-05T06:29:00.000-07:00

its a surprise for me, to even heard from her again. just i was on my way to sunshine plaza, i received sms asking if i was in PS, from her. i hesitate a while before replying, and hey its been 3 yrs since we broke up. and we didn't actually really talk to one another for that period of time.
im just totally unprepare for this.

well i then went ahead and look for her. it just flash back in my head again, m i really to face her after of what she did to me?

when i saw her facing away, i actually froze for awhile, thinking whether i should turn back and walk away. when she turns around, both of us was like standing there looking at which other.

finally im start to break the ice by saying, hey, u changed alot, its been ages since i ever seen you. she was having this prudential road show in PS, well you see, she's some sort of insurance agent.

no, she didnt try to offer any policy to me, just that im even more surprise that she ask me for dinner.

we have this conservation, and i actually found out she's doing better than she used to be. despite having dropping out of NTU, she choose this path of career. and actually doing very well in it. having travels to different part of the world as a rewards from company.
but still, having the same old problem in the family. Sister dropped out from school, out there working, mum and dad still separated. Messy situation she has there, and still she's so ambitious in her own career.

i cant help to judge that whether she went too far out and neglect her family along the way. the way she speaks, sound confident to me, just that she told me its very important for her to control her way of speaking, her dressing, her life and even the people who she's talking to. would'nt life will be more misery in a way that you cant really be yourself?
or is it, we have to act in a way that people should believe what we think we pretending to be?

April..

2009-04-02T05:41:00.000-07:00

I just slept 2 hours last night after i went clubing in Dragon FLY and mo mo KTVing with charlie and gang. but it was darn fun, i just cant remember the band's name. but i heard they used to play in CANTO. the music with mixture got thai, canto and chinese really got us on the trance.
But its a good way to start my April in my life other than work, everything seen to work out fine.
i been awake in my NS tour for entire 7 days outfield, maybe that's why im so getting use to it

As promise i try not to bring up work here, because, my job will remain as a job, it will only stays in the office. Even though today sucks...

Anyway i will try to rest at ten tonight, hopefully it will recharge myself for the next weekend.
i tend to get agitated when im tired and frustrated.
i still have Quantitative method question and one more Mgt question to read and compete. i guess i got to leave it for weekends.

to conclude, i see this month will be a challenging months ahead, cant really get to play as exam is on mid may.
too bad my birthday falls in the 5th.

maybe sacrifice is really needed for the greater good, cant wait to graduate even though its too early for me to say this...

3 things in life you should never compare

2009-03-30T07:49:00.000-07:00

Finally one right thing came out from him, which i think its quite true. let's start with the 1st one

Work.

have you ever wonder why do others done some bit of job and gets fruitful rewards? or why do someone have to work so hard just to survive? have you ever compare why do people graduate from the same school as you, and yet getting more salary and increment than you?

Have you ever ask your colleagues, how much they are getting? does your pay justified the work you have done? it just sucks even more when your colleagues doesn't even try to understand and appreciate on what you have done. i do miss my previous job with greg and gang, the atmosphere, the family like style, but in pursue for a better future. i decide to pave another path on my own.

well its equally hard to stop comparing present to past. Since i choose this route, i might as well work towards my goal. i agree my job right now cant even feed me, though i try to remain optimistic towards my degree. just that sometimes i feel that i lose too much just to gain too little things. i cant help to held high goals in my life, somehow i fall even harder when i cant reach them.

Studying and working is just too exhausting to live with. imagining having a 3 page maketing report and reseach after a day of work. having slept at 3 am in the morning and wake up 3 hours later everyday for work for 5 days per week. while weekends its just for me to compete and read up what ever i have missed on weekdays.... what kinda life i gona have?

Background

Not much of issue for me, nobody is born equally. i been to those war ragged countries, those kids are dying of undug mines, famine, disease its really sad to see others that cant live the same life as yours. im just content with a roof on my head and 3 meals a day.

i was born in a family which doesnt get well with my dad's side, ever since my grand dad passed away my family stop keeping in touch with my dad's relatives. its just all about money. Again i used to fight with my mum just because of money issue, sometime i just cant help to suspect whether my mum is the cause of this separation. Sometime i feel that she's very greedy and tend to jump on conclusion and harsh decision that result in losing thousand of her hard earn money. its very unfair for me to judge her like this, afterall she was my mum.

i just hope that maybe there's one day, my perspective will change as i grow older. maybe i just get too frusrated when im too tired...

Love

the third thing i think i better leave it for later... i guess im alittle tired to talk about this...
i guess sometime if you live in a simpler life is much more easy than what i have now...

Shrimps and me

2009-03-29T07:12:00.000-07:00

I just went to my usual LFS(live fish shop) and got myself this:

Sakula aka redder version of cherry red.

yea i know the pic quality suxs.... but any way this is Caridina sp. "Tiger" ( Caridina cantonensis) common name as tiger shrimps, it can grow up to 2 - 3.5 cm, prefer vegetatian food such as algae wafers, common fish food. bad news is, out of 10 only 6 managed to survive. i guess is the water parameters they have to adapt to, shrimps are known to be very sensitive towards water changes. when i start the tank i used to have 30 CRS(cystal red shrimps), due to my carelessness, for overlooking the water parameters, which cause a mass wipe out of the entire population. these little babies of mine need soft (that means acidic). and they will thrive very well in cooler water.

its a shrimp only tank as the babies are very vulnerable to fishes that might see them as tasty snacks.

From parents of earlier batch of cherry reds, most productive yet, more than 20 bbs have been spotted. compare to last batch only 1 survive :(

feeding frenzy... those dots are the bbs.

their home, i just like the dift wood that i brought recently, the growth of the moss is like a tree overflowing with green moss :D

Maybe if time and money permits i will invest more in upgrading my tank from 1.5 foot to 2 feet. this setup wasnt very cheap even though it was catalogues as low-tech. plus the power and water bills. But just simply by just sitting in front of the tank and view these little critters feeding, swimming, playing can just takes my day of stress away. it just worth every bit of my effort to take care of them. No matter how busy my projects and work is, i will once a while sit down beside the tank, trying to groom the moss, the plant, swipe the aglae that grow on the glass wall, catch those pesty snails. this little chores kinda bring me out of this stressful world that i was always trap in. to imagining that you can actually create other eco system that minic their natural world, to imagining you can actually bring them so close to you... its kinda beautiful..

Tots for Friday

2009-03-27T07:06:00.000-07:00

you see, i have a belief that everyone is equal to my eyes. No one is born poor unless one who feel poor him/herself. if you are determine, you have the will, there's no passion you cant pursue.

Life is always mocking at us, you don't always get what you want.
you usually get hurt before you really learn something
or sometime, if you are unlucky, you fall badly.

i been fall badly in the past, i gotten up and kick fate right at its balls.
i was an NA student, one of the worst class, my class have only 5% to promoted to sec 5
on my O levels i never feel that nervous before. i actually made it in poly.
to tell you all the true, diploma is really nothing in corporate world. what really matter is whether you are up to your job? do you really have the right skill for the right job?

to tell you all is that, I'm not that great and generous guy you all think i was.
I'm just someone trying to survive in this fast pacing world and share the joy with great friends.
its not easy to study and working, its really exhuasting for one to focus on so many things... its really hard to balance my life between school, personal life and career together, in fact i hardly have anytime even for myself.

but im still very blessful to have friends like greg, dawn, charile, stefie and many many more with me. Friends are darn important to me, without them i dont know if there's better way to be more human.... cant wait to go for another outting again...

trying to stay sane

2009-03-25T08:24:00.000-07:00

Sometime i just cant help to make comparison or asking these question, m i happier than before?
is this what i really want? why m i doing more than im require to? why do others take the credit instead of me? why do some people have it easy? why do some couple can stay sweet for years yet some have to end with sad stories.

seriously its really hard to be satisfied with the things you have, or rather sometime when you have too much of it, you tend to neglect them, when things get sour when you try to save it. too bad, you will live with guilt of why you couldn't save it in the 1st place.

life is full of uncertainty, sometime you expect too much you end up disappointed. its really hard to keep self motivate these days. look at people around you, which one of them are not struggling to survive?

i just keep on having this thoughts in my mind, have i done enough? is this my limit yet? can i really guarantee a comfortable life for my parents or future spouse and family? how much did i manage to Accomplish after living in this patectic world for 24 yrs.

my mum just got demoted from a supervisor to a Senior sales staff, and she got to bite through her pride just because job is very precious to anyone now.
in this corporate world, life is very practical, unless you have the really right connection, or network. Getting things done will be easier. just base on your experience and ability is not enough. you still need coordination with the right people. pharse it in an uglier way, carry balls.

unless you really have the benefit to others, getting people helping you will be impossible.
its a very Individualistic enviroment that we live in. Zhen yi, or should i say jusitice is non-existing. each of us have grow more selfish, what does giving mean to us now?

sick again... ah shix

2009-03-24T08:46:00.000-07:00

think im going to get sick again, been coughing non stop every day, and my head ache doesnt seen to go away... think time upz soon.... going to die soon la... everyday keep coughing blood like hell

and yet once again more shoulder have add on 2 tons of weights.
1 more major project is being hand over to me.
which made me so afright to think about it...
but maybe i should see it as an chance to get recognition from my big boss...
maybe that will make me feel better....

so pack with stuff i just need some relief....
just cant wait for april fool days, cant wait to meet the girls :D

Monday blues

2009-03-21T08:47:00.001-07:00

i really feel the blue and pressure on me now, i even starts to predict shit load of work coming in tomorrow.
well, things doesnt look very good now, my boss is going back to her native land...
she's the best boss i ever work with, in some case she even stood up for me.
and my current sup? i dont really understand him sometimes, i feel that he's not strong in controlling his people, the bond in the department sound like it gonna break apart anytime.
and im wondering, if his unreasonable decision might be the cause of his failing relationship to his manager.
The Another is just like afright to take responsibilities, always complaining and whining.

i guess its about being able to adapt into new environment.
im trying to learn as much as i can, just that i feel that im not progressing fast enough.
For years i hardly know what i really want in life, i cant really understand myself.
its not going to be easy for me to make a change. but i will try my best.
juggling with books and work is never easy. Plus studying is expensive, money was never enough for anyone. i have bills, insurances, school fees... plus my dad is bringing less money in every month, he cant pay for my insurances every yr...

this weekend i spend to do my assignment question.
One weekend for a question.

not productive at all...

and still i dont understand why my school loves to open its MCQ during weekdays
dont we have to work?

So much problem, yet so little solution.
maybe my friend is right, young man like me should count chickens when the eggs haven't
even hatch.
just hope that this week will be better...
need some good news for my confirmation.
hopefully they can help to push my pay alittle higher
maybe they will relieve me alittle...

Cool movies coming in May!

2009-03-21T08:47:00.000-07:00

My Babies

2009-03-11T05:35:00.000-07:00

their home

fatty bom bom

bom bom gather.

Good new is 2 of the girls are already pregnant, expect the babies to hatch in few weeks time,
its my way for destressing by looking at them play, feed and swim around

I wont say "let's hope", i'll say let's do it.

2009-03-10T08:55:00.000-07:00

I just did some reflection on myself during the train journey. There's too many things in my head that i cant really think properly.

Let me put it this way, for the past many problems i face, i simply run away from that. that happen to my past relationship, all of them. To tell you the truth, i was never a good companion, boyfriend, neither do i as a good friend.
I always think i was an loyal friend, a faithful guy, a generous friend. For all this years i been trying to fool myself, and yet i can feel that im abandoning some people who have been with me for years just because i cant stand their attitude.

i hate the idea of being pity in order to get attention of others, by the way i think its patectic for one to behave this way. I hate the idea of retribution, i dont believe in one either, i rather get the Mother fucker myself then allow god to do something else to him.

As for my Ex company, i left that company just because i even cant handle my boss. And i allowed my emotion to go haywire over my job. I hate the weaker being inside me that time. This is childish, i should never allow to blame my failure on others.

I swear to almighty that this will not happen to me again, when's there's a problem arise i'll stare right at it in its face. I wanted result, i'll work for it, i want to be successful.

Im ambitous, i want to glad hold of anything i can get.
I believe if you are too comfortable in your job, that's mean your job is too easy for you. Challenge is there for me, result is all that to driven me.

I wont say "let's hope", i'll say let's do it.

Last night...

2009-03-07T18:21:00.000-08:00

Some girl caught my eye on last wedding, as i take a closer look and realize its GX,
she sport this short hair with a dark brown top. Compare to her sporty look with long brown hair as i known her before. She look especially pretty that night.

As i approach the table she's on, she kinda look at me with a glance, and must be thinking that she met me somewhere before. Its 3-4 mths since i left my ex company, 3 mths since i seem her, not much change from her. She still have that smile that could left me hypnotized.
Coincidentally she shares the same name as me, as in she's chen guan xuan, im chen guan zhi, she's stays near my place, we used to jog around her place.
She always seen so happy but just like me, she's always like a book of novel, with a happy title but a sad story behind that cover.
She kinda have this relationship problem that doesnt seen to get any better and well, i didnt really talk to her much about that. i guess she wants to avoid that as well.

Well, not to make us too odd , i switch to another table opposite her, funny thing was through out the whole wedding we were exchange glance at each other. Me, not trying to make it too obvious, always glance away to talk to my friends. After the wedding, we went for a drink in Boat Quay with the whole group. i seat directly opposite her, trying hard just to stop staring at her, holding the urge not to really talk to her. After a drink we went home on the bus together. I wanted to ask her if she wants me to sent her home since it was too late.
Something just keep me asking that request out of my mouth.

Maybe its just that i don’t want to pursue another relationship that never gonna be happen.
Just that the fact is im very sick of failing and failing again.
And now that i have not even enough resources to even support me and my commitment. I would rather try to avoid any of this than to allow this to affect my studies and career.
Things have really change much since i left my ex, i felt like i became more selfish, more descive. i take responsibilities on my decision i made, i face them instead of running away from them.
The fact is... feeling is just another obstacle to me, which i trying to avoid.

Friends are more important to me, thanks people you guys really pick me up as time get worse...

:(

2009-03-02T08:20:00.001-08:00

feel that sometime things never get in plan, always have to revise, revise and revise again and again...

bad week...

OB Assignment

2009-02-22T03:55:00.000-08:00

Please, if it hurt your eyes dont read it. I spend the entire days sorting out this.

Question 2
Write an essay addressing the following:
(a) Why is this group a “team?”? Why is it a Virtual Team? Are
There any characteristics of groupthink manifested in the work
Team?
(Word limit: 400‐ 600 ‐‐ 25 marks)
(b) Has David been an effective team leader? Discuss.
(word limit: 200‐300 ‐‐10 marks

A)

This is a team which displays the characteristic of:

Self Management Work Team:
Professional individuals task to manage complex projects involving research, design, process improvement, and even systemic issue resolution, particularly for cross-department projects involving people of similar seniority levels.

A Work Team generates positive synergy through coordinated effort. This not only solves problems but implements solution and takes full responsibility for outcomes. (Robbins and Judge, 2007, p299)

Problem Solving Teams:
Short amount of time require to discussing ways of improving quality, efficiency and work environment.
Due to the flexibility nature of their work, they are more responsive over changes, able to compete more effectively and efficiently. (Robbins and Judge, 2007, p298)

In Creating an Effective Team:
There are four contextual factors which related most significantly to team performance.

Adequate Resources
-Scarcity of resources reduces the ability of team’s effectiveness. State of art
Computer database and analysis tools are essential to the team’s resources.
This Support includes timely information, proper equipment, adequate staffing, encouragement and administrative assistance.

Leadership and Structure
- Team members must agree on task assign to and ensure everyone contribute equally in sharing the workload. In this case, the members of the team are self managed; all four SMIT employees negotiated separately and individually with management.

Climate of Trust
-Members of effective teams trust with other, (i.e., Terence and Chandran though won’t share their innovation with the management; they decide to distribute the macro to rest of the members of the Team and trust them to keep this secrecy.)

Performance Evaluation and Reward Systems
- Management gives the employee 5 percent of the cost savings generated by the innovation over a period of 3 months. These incentives reinforce team’s effort and commitment, and encourage them to share their innovation to enhance their cost cutting measure more efficiently.

Virtual Teams:

The four team members are located in different parts of Singapore and Malaysia.
They communicate by phone, email and conferencing software.

The creation of the assignment is carried out in a virtual environment.
By collaborates, share information, make decision compete task online it staff to be more flexible in their time management, saving the hassle of traveling for onsite discussion.

The team memebers have complementary skills and are committed to a common purpose, have interdependent performance goals, and share an approach to work for which they hold themselves mutually accountable.

Geographically dispersed teams allow organizations to hire and retain the best people regardless of location. Members of virtual teams communicate electronically, so they may never meet face to face.

Groupthink is define as a disease that attacks many groups and can dramatically hinder group’s performanace. In this case, Chandran and rest of the team memebers refuse to share the new marco to the including David the Team leader and the management in fear of their jobs.
In order to minimize groupthink, Managers should encourage group leader to play an impartial role. Leaders should actively seek input from all members and avoid expressing their own opinions, by holding exercise that stimulate active discussion of diverse alternatives without threating the group and increase identity security. And also by requiring members to first focus on the negatives of a decision alternative, the team is less likely to stifle dissenting views and more likey to gain an objective evaluation. (Robbins and Judge, 2007, p287)
