A day office offsite

Monday. Is a day when i will feel blues always due to over outside activities esp. with CNY ard the corner over the weekend. Apparently, i do not feel it in this way today. WHY?? Normally, i will be at my office typing away but not today cos i am out of office for off site @ Orchid Country Club for my dept team building after 1 mth reorg.

Whole day session was mostly games & food. Games are more of an interaction & ice breaking session with my new fellow team mates & bosses. Enjoyed most of it since i am dealing with people but not figures which i am a bit sick of it. You get to see people who are gentlemen, shy, introvert, friendly & also split personality. Things still went on smoothly although i am in the same team as my VP. It's kind of gd experience for me to know more of the other fellow colleagues from other section.

As for the food, summarize as below:

Breakfast: Soon kwek serving with coffee & tea.
Morning tea break: Soon kwek, samosa serving with coffee, tea & plain water (hot & cold)
Lunch: Buffet ( Understand from my colleague that the soup taste bland which was then replaced to mushroom soup & honeydew sago tasting a bit weird due to the coconut.) Overall, food was bad.
Afternoon tea break: Sandwiches, spring roll serving with coffee & tea.

The best part of all is that we get to go home early at 5pm instead of usual knock off time.

Just hoping the interaction will pull us in & communicate better for the sake of the future work. =)

Communication & Respect

COMMUNICATION can be perceived better as a two-way process in which there is an exchange & progression of thoughts, feelings or ideas(energy) towards a mutually accepted goal or direction (information).

As i read the sentence, it linked me to some thing which happened today @ the office. A lot of problem are being mistaken due to miscommunication or no communication at all.

Being a straight forward person, a lot of people could not take the things I have said unless u are the same character as me. Some people will feel that i am being defensive while others may feel that i was just being offending or having attitude to them. Regardless of what, I always feel that communication should always be part of your life every min & seconds. Cos this is the way how thoughts & feelings could be expressed.

Politics, bias always happened everywhere around us. Sometimes I just feel how come things will turned out in this way but not talk it out openly. Some people take things easy while others feel so unappreciative at all.

RESPECT can be a specific feeling of regard for the actual qualities of the one respected. It can also be a conduct in accord with a specific ethic of respect.

I always respect people who show respect to others rather than taking advantage of it. This is a specific feeling of regard which should be gain using the correct way instead of gaining it in another kind of channel.

Frankly speaking, I do not show respect to people who take me for granted or hurt me in some ways, showing me things which should not be the way & I hate when people throw temper at me just becos they are having mood -swing on the day. Cos I do not deserve these if u are unable to control urself emotionally.

I was being indicated as a chilli padi who give attitude to people. Well, i only reflect according to the situation but not the person. Treating things fairly is better than getting things away just becos of the biasing.

Do not ask me why i have such thoughts cos it just happened in this way.

1st 2010 resolution of mine being completed

iPhone! iPhone! iPhone! No matter when or where, you will see everyone have 1 on their hands busy clicking, playing, surfing.

Ever since StarHub & M1 joining their competitive company in the iPhone sales, every one start to have a hoo ha on it! Lining up for more than 3 hrs just wanna get a hand on the handset which everyone longs for.

I. As a normal human being, also wish to own 1 for myself too but due to some constraints, i am unable to do so. Sad. =( Dear know that i want 1 badly, so he decided to early re contract his plan to get 1 as a birthday present for me.. OMG~! So sweet, isn't it?

We headed down to IMM to purchase my phone & dear also gotten one for himself from those outside dealer at TPY. In exchange for these, we sold our hand phone ( coz we did not need 2 phone at one time).

We met our friends up for dinner, do some shopping & headed home from our friend's house at Punggol. By the time we reached home that was ard 2am. Feeling exhausted but dear just want me to help him with his phone setup.

In the end, I slept at 4.30am & feel so exhausted & tired when i woke up today for work. Just 2.5 hrs of sleep.. OMG!

Overall, i am still happy to be the owner of my iPhone. =)
