like oc is a so called more friendly envionment to work in but unfortunately the pay sucks.
everyting needs to be done at his convenience where he can over-rule it for his outing for games and games n more games.since tings r to be only fulfiled at his convenience then whats the point of having a partnner. i just knew it. i cant even count on him . i better rely on myself. more gurantee

愛對一個人

Sep 16th, 2009 by 張小嫻

有一句老掉大牙的話是這麼說的:「好的開始,是成功的一半。」

寫書的確是這樣,只要開頭順利,自己也就心中有數,知道這本書會好看。所以,開頭最難下筆,有若千斤重,結局卻是最容易寫的。

可這句話用在愛情裡並非全對。所有的愛情,開始的時候總是好的,總是甜蜜和快樂的,到頭來卻不一定會成功,不一定能夠開花結果。

想要成功,好的開始比不上愛對一個人。

一直以來,令我長大的,從來不是我的敵人和那些傷我的人,而是我的良師益友和我所愛與愛我的人。

愛對一個人,人生就等於做對了大部分的事情。

是我愛和愛我的那個人使我強大,也使我知道我雖弱小卻可以無所畏懼。

是我愛和愛我的那個人讓我知道我無須理會那些傷我的人,我只需要活得比他們好。

是我愛和愛我的那個人使我知道我要不停進步,也使我知道即使我在原地踏步,他也不會捨棄我,只會回頭牽著我的手帶著我一起走。

是我愛和愛我的那個人讓我知道我雖然是他的負累,卻也是最可愛的負累。

是我愛和愛我的那個人教給我智慧和慈悲,卻也讓我知道即使是最仁慈的人,也有他必須果斷的時候。

人活著,就是要活得比昨天好一些,再好一些。要愛得比昨天幸福一些,再幸福一些。

愛對一個人,是好的開始,也是最後的成功。

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc&feature=player_embedded#at=580.. inspiring speech..

今天还在和熊猫有了这段对话, 他觉得我是有企图心重的人。在金融业日子久了不知不觉地也变了。。
势力眼很像是正常的现象,在和同事之间的相处方式也有自我防备的趋势。只有得到应有的效应就算
成功就得进取,但是我个人认为也不至于不折手段。
在和 merlinda 吃过午饭后,竟点中我的疑点
要在弱肉强食的环境中生存并非如此容易。不过需要一些技巧和人缘.社会的累积和适当的社交可以帮助一些。。太多反而反效果_。变回成新人。凡事谨慎为妙。。。我常常在为自己的将来铺好路。。。毕竟金融界范围很小。。点一点就那几个人换了又换也就那几间银行,风水轮流转, 也不知几时需要他人的帮忙。 不要短后路对知己比较好。
离开了一个月。。 几个星期过得特别忙碌。
每天都在追寻完美。。赶着时间。时机。把握这一切的一切
因为机会只有一次我也渐渐随着时间的流失学会很多,听到和看到的都给了我 许多启示。得来的不易。所以更要好好珍惜,把握
今年的中秋节平平,没有特别得庆祝
我默默在某个角落安静得闲着
人越是年纪大了,顾虑特别多。有个同事坐在我隔壁提起。我有一副很认真的神情。
也看起来有点杀气十足。也就是这样。 表面上。初次的碰面我给别了的影象总是蛮
冷艳,严肃。 没有邻家女孩的童真和平易近人的照形。不过也好。。可以保护自己。我其时也可以三八。混熟何尝不是如此?
静静的夜里。。我反复回想许多。其中居多有好的不好的。。开心和不怎么开心的
我追求的一切真的值得吗?我儿时的灯笼记忆不多。父母也没太多多余的时间陪伴。天天忙着赚钱。为家而奔波。。小时候盼快点长大
长大后盼望快些念完书。赚更多更多钱生为女性的我。天天分秒必争
从小就有养成不可输。久了。人会变得压抑。也没怎样。
习惯成自然

one more day beforecertification



just had breakfast with dad.. tink his impression vs panda n ed is veri differeent. ed is a quiet n tao person compared to panda. panda 's more jovial n easy going which i tink is veri important that the partner gets alongwith the family if not its gonna be very difficult in the long run.
so far during the breakfast. dad seems to complain more on elephant.. in fact now hes more ok with me staying over at panda's occasionally although he feels insecure coz i m a daughter. if in the event that panda breaks off with me.. i got to bear the full liability .
dad terms panda as the 大藩薯。。搞笑咯!! 哈哈
i tink dad also finds it awkward to attend bro worm'swife aka elephant high tea lunch but he feels obliged to be present coz he seek consultation from grandma n auntie . that if hes not present or bro worm lunch. bro worm will be veri malu that the fammily is not there to support him..
in the end. my dad oso went alongwith bro 3 .. heheh i can slack at home after facial n slack..
last week got a few remarks. was thinking when i was having facial earlier.
被称为朋友的妈妈还有男朋友的妈妈或姐姐。 心情当下很难过。。对自己有些失望。。
、所以决定了。。 为了给自己一个交代, 我最后决定为自己皮肤花上一个小小的投资。。在pinky 和peggy 的大力推荐。 我一定要自己焕然一新。。 死胖子。。熊猫仔。。你就等着吧。。 porkie.. ms pork 也有变成美女的一天。。。 pinky my regular facial therapist.. 非常之支持我积极减肥的小小计划。。
大胖熊猫。。 天生baby face.. 我当然不能输。。。 无论在职场或感情。 我一定得更努力。。更勤劳。
最讨厌熊猫那副洋洋得意的嘴脸。。 虽然我天生皮肤暗谈老成,我并没有因此自卑。 现在不会以后也不会。。
、生活苦短。。想必父亲今天的high tea 应该吃得蛮辛苦。。。要有不必要的应酬。。 、免了罢。。。 我自己在家煮泡面都比较开心。。
近来的一打击。。 我都一律把一切的好坏当成contructive feedback..尤其打击最大。。 我新的同事称我为长辈。。 好酸啊!!。。 希望upgrade 了skincare products.. 用了产品可以扑救我的老化。。还有其次是可以讲我是老、女人的。。 大跌眼镜。。 、咋舌。。
有一晚。。 因自尊心的做祟。。 我理直气壮得和熊猫摊牌。。 要是嫌弃我老成就尽管找别的女人。。 老娘也就罢了。。 在msn 竟然很恨下心来有了那段对话。。
日子久了。。。在atas bank.. 自然也要blend in corporate culture.. 既然下定决心。 就要做最好。。虽然眼前有很多的不明确和人事的难搞。。我自然得在合适的场合。。carry ball.. wat to do.. banking 就是现实的。有利用价值就受宠。。 ocbc corporate banking 的、后宫六院见多了。。 自然叶明白其中的道理。。 看在钱的份上。 勉为其难。。 过了六个月。。 或一两年再选择。 事业还是、别的更重要。。next thursday shall start shiftwork.. 有些期待。。but also anticaptating some bad experience also. i m afterall new horn. new bird sure kenna bullied oso.. some possibility有一副操老的脸竟然可以吓吓别人。。 老娘不好惹哦。。 hehehe.. 愿我明天call certification in one to one 顺利成功。。 一次通过。。 one exam take is all i need to be certified ok for good product knowledge and SOP..

on sat after a long day out @ gloria 's jeans with the new hires and screen training in office

1930hrs.. location. centre point .. level 3 bench. still waitin for panda to end his magic ritual . i find it weird to sit there n use my netbook n wait for him as well
finally went through the checklist for the exam tips and guidelines had a lot of thrashing sessions with Regene, Seetoh , and Shinhua. looks can be deceiving. shinhua although is quiet. but shes the most detailed person among the few of us. haha.
nevertheless its an interesting session thrashing with the 3 of them , trouble shooting the concepts and hot questions to be tested. so far. for my personal part . calculation remains a weak area for me. but handling nasty calls should not be too much of a problem to me. since i have prior experience in front line
regene was sharingwith me how her hsbc career was and how she met richard her husband. jsut realized how banking relationship always starts with colleagues becoz of the lack of interaction with people of different industries because of long working hours.n since bimbo couldnt get out of the ex story . she kept harping about it. and its like not doing her good either. it bores everyone and shes not focusing and paying attention to whats important now.
tink must store credit also. dad just called .hes been hinting which shift i m working today and how i should go n overnite @ panda tonite too often . haha. i got the hint, tink my dad a bit miss me also. he seldom calls me on the phone to check on me as well these days. but i guess he knows i m in safe hands with panda @ his residence n not straying or drinking my life away at the pub haha. which is ok .
luckily i have a late lunch at 2.. my stomach is rumbling now. tat dumb panda is still at his weekly almost daily ritual to play magic cards with his friends.. he told me one hour. would b ready by 8 .. i m starting to get a little impatient now since today is like our anniversary n obviously tml he still got another round of his gaming freaks n i m still at this corner typing gibberish ..
coming mon i would have a mini get together with the new hires before we all go to our respective teams .. although each have their own weakness. they r generally nice people like now .. but compared to 8 teams . with an average of 10-14 , ts a totall different ball game. can only look forward to it now since i chose to leave a rosy section. gd luck to me on mon for exam and call certification day. looks like a longsunday to go through the important points. look forward to facial tomorrow. will help to clean the face thoroughly and prepare for shifters lifestyle

last second day for training .. ending of honeymoon soon





its been a long week, everything has been nothing but more gruellinhg on more system training. the new hire among my group has built a mini bond together. its been quite funny and enjoyable during class.was happy to be chilling at home on this friday night. starting from next week onwards on oct1- 0ct30 would begin my mini shift . its 2-11. at least i wont have to squeeze with the conventional rush hours OLs but then again . days of honeymoon will be over soon.
i m looking forward to it but i m also worried abt it.
peiling whose sister is in the previous batch was commenting the first 3 days is torturous. its indeed a frightening thought.
i m supposed to touch on the notes and the screen training tomorrow but i simply have no mood to study them.
the fries @ everting with fries was gd. except that i find the portion a bit small. but nevertheless panda n i decide to try it.
today we were so bored in class that the boys.. xiang xiang and rick were doing the challenge on how many highlighter u can stack haha.

day 12 RC/ CC screen shots training

today is veri difficult day to get by. training by powerpoint slides for system training is super boring.
nevertheless i managed to scrape through the day with subway double chocolate chip n oatmeal rasin cookie bought from lunch
my password n id is ready for use. had to do a demo in clas. luckily i m coping ok
shinhwa is quite a weird character. shes super quiet thats one thing. n since shes so shy she never ask when in doubt.
n then shes so sensitive. i dunno how to communicate with her . it seems that small things she gets offended tat we seem to be offensive. i try my best no to talk too much to her then since shes so petty no point talking much then
in a new environment. i believe its important to be humble.attentive to adapt to the working culture.
so far i observed most of the citi bankers are workoholics. they really loveed to drink and smoke outside harrys bar..
i hope i wont end up like one of them.. the happy hour seems to be quite popular though over there. was planning after monday's paper a gd chill out would be good with the new hires since after we grad from training. we wont have much opportunity since all 6 of us are in different teams .except seetoh and myself
i dun wish to retake the trraining or retake the exam
on the other hand if i clear it. it will be tha start of a battlefield
i was walking in citilink last evening. n i bump into tiongboon. aw his cute 1.52m gf. she looks tiny beside tb whose 1.85m haha, so no mood to memorise all the credit card bin no.. arggh.. got to memorise and be familiar by sun morning.. how sad.

a bit of retail therapy ro update my collection of shoes






hehe i bought 2 pairs of shoes after work today @ bugis street
firstly i took a glance at citilink. then bugis junction then finally i decide to go for 2 pairs of cheap shoes instead of 1 pair of expensive one.
the eclipse and fisherman are my key to staying awake for today's lesson. after a long weekend. usually the brain malfuntion and switch off
the F1 race is on this fri sat and sun. i took a longer route to work in stead of taking 133 directly to centennial tower and crossing the road. i alighted at bugis and walk to millenia tower from shaw tower. took me about 10 min .. i walked a lot today
n just now when i apply moisturiser earlier i realize how dark my eyebags are.i tinki better sleep early to prevent myself from upgrading from a tanned pig porkie to a mini panda. today still got homework to do.. next mon is already exam.. got to start revision soon
must be equipped with the right skills and knowledge so i will be confident and competent in handling all sorts of fraudulent transaction with ease
they r veri strict on the competency of product knowlege n strict guidelines n sop the adhere to .. must pass it hope can end soon but then when honeymoon at training ends.. its time to be on my own ..

Thursday, September 17, 2009

its a new day day 9 .. 0752hrs

on my way to cityhall now.. since i took the bus earlier i decided not to to squeeze in the train so i decided to pen in an entry as i still got about half an hour to go.
went to sushi tei with sharleen. serene n elena. they were each harping about the revised commission structure and was resilient still about it. although the bank is giving a bad package. they had no choice too. sharleen havent got a placement with the IJP yet. n her team lead is busy sourcing one for her.

so much as the new environment is a challenge. i got to learn to work with many people.
the nite at panda was quite comical . i had to rush back home from cityhall and then back home while he waited downstairs while i packed my stuff , my work clothes and all ahhaha.
i slept quite early last night by 11.30pm i was quite ready to knock off with all the heavy calculation. its a jungle or a battlefield out there i m now approaching geylang, still got at least 20-30 mins n i can walk slowly from citilink to milemia tower.heeh im opp nationay lib .wqont be late .,0820hrs

0123hrs
as times goes by, the training has come to day 10 tml .its almost half of the training over. moving on to soft skills like the variuous systems.i oso cant sleep now maybe i just change work environmemt so maybe its self imposed stress on myself
its the transition adapting stage maybe i m worried
new job environemnt n then a lot of exam n quiz for product knowledge n i know boss have higher expectation ofme coz i was previously frm other bank so my skillset naturally must shine compared to other new hires i m giving myself one month to know the ropes. ts so competitive out there
even if i dun stress m yself i tink sooner someone will comeon knock on me ..i believe when i start nite shift my ability ntto sleep at nite will be eve n more serious
in fact i m like the only one whos got prior experience before so i guess the boss got higher expectation of me as well . n i m worried i cant keep up to tat standard in a way. i 've seen how they faceschurn out
so many of my colleagues in tat department smokes a lot
n my fren was telling me . e one who is in nite life better dun smoke during nite shift will age even more faster n prominent... its 1.45am now . i had doze off earlier in front of the netbook but i decide to be awake longer for tonite.

Wednesday, September 16, 2009

Day 8 .. 0659hrs. toss n turn one hour again





manage to wake up . dress up. make up n got ready for today's lesson.
today is wed can dress down a bit but then i decide to pen in an entry before i go off to work.
germ whos my ex colleague looks at my daily ranting so do my lsb n other close friends. i particular an comment which shes passed.. was if she hasnt seen me in person, i would have come across to her as a gentel sweet lady with long flowing also known as 长发飘飘。。。
was msning with my ex boss and telling him previously i wasnt really happy with ubi and oc. so i went forward to change my previous current cozy and comfortable lifestyle that i had
he commented i was quite brave to hop to a battlefield but he also consoled me and tell me i am still young and learn fast. but its hard to find a true friend there. which is true by the amount of endless banter i hear almost everywhere in the corner . in the lift. among the cubicle and toilets. getting so irritating with the amt of paparrazi and grapevine news. this is the result what i define as 人言可谓,自己小心就好。。nevetheless its afterall a new environment for me i will allow myself to settle in this new plot of land by 1 month. 2 months the latest
things that i had to modify was my dressing. makeup, heels and some level of appropriate dressing is essential so as not to look too sloppy.
productivity is highly tied to the daily result and performance. US banks emphasize on the sales numbers, the efficiency of each and every employee
they copied ritz carlton. had a cradle card similar to Ritz.. the last rule.. rule no 15. think and act like an owner. brought me an insight compared to oc's i dare to care and the core values is so different . when oc focus on prudence, competency, and work life balance. Citi is you can work till u drop to get things done. and some examples include offshore bankers helping their high networth client get money even if its the middle of the night , they will try all methods to dig money for them.n other values which i thought was quite realistic. never lose a client.exercise empowerment.demostrate genunine care. be the voice of citi. anticipate client needs.support change n growth n many more a total of 15values i tink oc has like only 5-10.. its a lot to digest.
it would perceive the us culture to be more bold in their methods to resolve a conflict n on of the methods sometimes is to shut the client with $ to settle the matter.
whereas oc is afterall a chinese bank , it has more heritage as its established in 1921 so when in terms of restructuring, cut cost. or to retrench the methods adopted are vastly differentiated. once auntie may cautioned me abt the culture of us is to hire and fire. whereaswith an oriental approach for oc. when they are more prudent and humanitarian, they would rather cut cost to retain people.
but both training i have attended. the sofware that the former use is backward compared to the latter.its as lot of observation among the youngsters. they are frm ngee ann n some of them aresmart. with a quick knack with numbers when it comes to calculation, this is an advantage for them. they r young n they can act fast but they might act rashly. but its a nice experience attending the training its as though i m young again. coz usually only when u r young, when u attend class. firstlyu make fun of the teacher. and then secondly . u talk back at them n lastly u always bargain for a longer break and a easier exam paper and tips to ace it.hahahaha
countdown to 28th . thats the last day of babysiting, n from 29th we will be attachhed to a mentor and be let go of theirh and by november n then another round of system upgrade and training..time to memorise all the credit card bin no.. 4544 `1500 XXXX XXXX.. a total of 30 cards and 4 credit line products to be familiar with the various code and very soon we will go into non theory which is the hands on training. the inital impression that i have for this sinister senior hostile looking trainer somewhat diminishes as she said morningto me yesterday when i was alone in the meeting room
the recent news is astonishing. i was overhearing that students mass commit suicide n in the us. one gal was killed n hidden in the wall before she got married and was found only after 7 days which is on the day of her wedding how sad. shes 24 young her bf is so leng zai. how thingsare predetermined and fated.. have to accept it good or bad . whatever when they are good news and bad news. 0743. i got 15 min maybe watch 早安您好 with lau pei first ... since i will b home later. dinner with ah lian. shar. n yaya..
