the night

Thursday, October 25, 2007

was superb! for the singapore retailers association 30th anniversary dinner at the meritius Mandarin.

Ok alot of big retailers were there like hour glass, capitaland, courts, C.K Tangs, Metro etc.

The coolest was Lee Hwa jewellery who won the best dressed table who wore all the BLINGS BLINGS on their necks. Man, my eyes light up as well when they all take photos. it was definitely networking session for them that night.

make me feel like want to reach that stage someday.

Shit! was teased by flying dutchman that night.

Ikea won the best store concept that night.
we had good drinks and evelyn (HR manager) introduced me to the swedish managers of each department. it was gd handshakes and booze to add with the cheers!

I was glad that Ikea cheered for me when I went up to get the scroll from Minister of trade and industry: Mr Lee and SRA president: Dr Jannie Tay.

it was a night we interacted and it was good to meet everyone of them :)

the best thing is we each gotten a $1000 voucher from borders but what can I do with them? textbooks, dvd, books.

gimme some books on philosophies, I like!

here's some photos for the night.. there's many others I am still waiting




The whole gang + 2 beside me on the left from SRA and WDA

ZUN!

Wednesday, October 17, 2007

Just when I feel my work is piling up and feel really irritated because I really thought it's over but there's more to do.

I read the facebook astrology and realised it's damn ZUN la!

"Lynette,
There's so much going on that you can't figure out exactly where to start. You will have to gather your strength if you want to make it over the last hurdle. A project you thought you had finished still needs some more work. A little self-discipline will help you to reach the finish line."


totally amazing!

*shocked*

NOW comes the dilemma

Tuesday, October 16, 2007

ok 1st was..

"get then say"

then it was..

"what if I get it?"

last round was...

"Do I really want it?"

NOW, it's

"SHit! now what? go or no go?"

wahliew, so ironic!
3 interview rounds and every round, interviewers asking me, why do you want the scholarship.

it's like saying the political correct answer, giving the almost flawless perfect answer.

and now here I am questioning my answers.

haven i been thru this again and again?
haven i asked myself?

Yea, I got it.

I shall wait for the terms and conditions offered.
then shall c.

Others of my schoolmates got Adidas, Expressions, Cold Storage and Wing Tai Asia.


meanwhile, exams are coming... exactly 1 month from now.

here are my exam dates -
16 nov Strategic Management
23 nov Global Market Strategy: Prof Ian Mcgovern, please spare me!
27 nov Management Accounting: Prof Katherine Yuen, U know I love you! muacks..

idiotic-ally stressful!

why, oh why are my classmates making me feel so stupid?!
my prof is yakking yakking yakkidiyak and I am in dreamland.
why?! I know... because I have been studying too much.
too old, too rusty

please, begging u.... can someone teach me to be at least on par or let me feel smarter?

meanwhile, juicy pics:


Did I see 'Hula & Co'? geez, my NUS friend was telling me that another NUS guy at the age of 23 owns that company and driving a freaking BMW to school everyday.


steamboat in katong



elaine is almost EVERYWHERE in EVERY picture. that's SCARY....

"I had a dream"

Friday, October 12, 2007

Nope, I am not going to talk about martin luther king's inspiring speech that was remembered by all.

MY DREAM.

I had a dream yesterday....

amazingly real
nonono, it's not wet dream(dirty minded u!)

I was in this big house
with children around me.
I was a mother embracing a baby.
there's a man (no, can't c his face)
Is he my husband?
I don't know...

is this dream getting anywhere?

then I looked out of the window,
it faces a beautiful lake with mountains in the background.
nostalgic sight.
Ok.. I am not writing a novel or some story.

But that was what I wanted to be when I was a young girl.
other inspired to be someone.
I wanted to be a housewife.
then I wanted to be a career woman.
I change again. I decide to be a tai tai but I don't know mahjong
so I think I wanna be a housewife with a maid with kids and dogs. (sucker for kids and dogs)

cool eh..

Then the question popped, "what the future lies ahead of me?"

Recently, Kaiquan discussed about it over lunch.
"how successful you think you are?"

it was about his situation that people think he's UP THERE (pui..hehe)
but compared with OTHERS, he dun think so.
comparing is never-end. there's always a higher mountain.
then I thought, it's how contented you feel you are in. how satisfied you are with your life.

suddenly, we talked about johari window click on it to know more.

"open" - how well do you know about yourself and others know of u?
"blind" - what do others know of you but hidden to urself?
"hidden" - what others don't know about you but only known to urself?
"unknown" - what you and the others don't know about urself?


interesting theory with no explicit answer.
My self-esteem is quite high.
I remembered when I was young, I was super confident and cocky even. My parents always ask me how's my exams after taking it.
I will say, "GOOD! SURE PASS"

BUT it's either fail or borderline.

where's my DISCLOSURE? do I disclose what I feel?
chances I don't. (yea, now you know I am a 2-faced snake)

grr.... dunno, still self-discover-ing

---------------------------------------

the other event that made me want to self-reflect is because I went to sign up for this retail scholarship.

yaya, smart aleck. I don't even know how much I want it!

hect, get then say.

went through grilling rounds then I realised, I do want it but I don't NEED it.
Scholarship, as good as it may sounds.
The name that bears in your resume forever!

IKEA chose me for the last selection round.
swedish meatballs - endless supply!

my classmates who also went through are all very nice and equally strong candidates.
I am glad to meet people and interacted with them in this process.
You have no idea how much I admire these guys.

then, what if I get it?
"do I really want it?"

opportunity costs. monetary and non-monetary. how about the TIME & ENERGY spend getting this PAIN-STAKING degree. (OEI! NOT EASY HOR...SWEATED)
my passion thwart?


Banking? nahz no good with finance. Money is good though
advertising? Love it but money no good
retail? 2nd love but money no good
hospitality? 3rd love but money not worth the time spent
stat board? forget about climbing but work/life balance
research? KILL ME.
consultancy? Nahz, no grades. haha
tai tai? SURE WILL! SHOW ME THE MONEY, SHAKE LEGS, SHOP TIL U DROP

ok before people start shooting me of my misconception about these industries, I wanna stand by.... these are EXCUSES.

I have no religion but let GOD decide.
if I do get the scholarship, I will take it.
2 yrs later then decide my ultimate fate.
3/4 of your life to work & slog, better have a GOOD decision.

MONEY OR PASSION? CONCLUDING QUESTION

------------------------------------------------------
