Yeah time to update my blog.. Always been telling myself : Today I am doing so & so and my list of things definitely include updating my blog because I guess I have some supporters *Glee* *Geez* *Slurp*
SO what's with Life now?
Let's go one at a time, going slow and be sure U be attentive reading this long chunk of information about dearest Lynette, ever ever happening life :)
Work?
My position: Operations & Marketing Executive
Company: Aw Boon Haw Pte Ltd
Let's not give myself too much credits because however it's only 3 days working there but I kinda like the peacefulness, calmity, independence and the own space to work in the company.
I realise it's a new job scope dealing with the web, E-commerce marketing, Working with the Manager for Marketing & A/P activities, Maintaining the web server.
I really like my colleagues though they are always not around. Okie 2 sales executives, 1 Manager (I will be under her), Boss, Secretary, Receptionist. I felt really welcome in the company especially by Irene (Sales Exec) & Priscilla (Manager). I feel that the company dynamics are really very different from my ex co. Corporate culture are different worlds apart.
Why so? Because American Academic Alliance is a US based co. and we adopt American Culture, style of working and not forgetting Americans slang and very American Indeed. Learn alot as well. Learn to be bold, Learn to fight for own rights, Learn to be westernised. When I first into the company, Everyone seems to have a BIG sign on their Face : DUN COME NEAR ME UNTIL U R PROVEN. They are wary. Yes, Noone can blame them. Of coz, Working there for a year I managed to break the ice and most importantly, Earning the respect and not demanding for it.
In Aw Boon Haw Pte Ltd, you gotta make a BIG MAJOR switch in values and philosophies. If anyone would noe about the history of Aw Boon Haw, Aw Boon Haw is connected with Haw Par Villa and Tiger Balm but no longer is now. long long story and I dun wish to go in depth for that.
Dealing with Act-Q-Patch which is a FMCG company, I have new challenges and of coz, Man I am so excited to go with the flow. The company has a deep Chinese Culture and I respect it. It only reminds me of my chinese roots and to be chinese (Though I am not used to it in the past).
Guess the learning grounds have no boundaries. My job can be relax but can be tough.
I always believe it's how you look at things to be difficult, unachievable or bored.
You gotta reflect and fight for things U feel it's not working out.
No use to reprimanding, blaming on others or relying on luck.
Unless things come to an end, Unless things are really unworkable, Noone should give up or even saying : Nope I can't do it.
It's all in the mind, the attitude and the drive.
I saw my friend's nick in MSN (Actually my ex colleague) and thought it's really meaningful:
"The most embarassing thing is to see others doing it when You thought it's impossible"
