Decided to post this out is to remind myself whenever I am staying back for work and in future for me to refer.
I received this email from one of my ex-colleague with subject as '10 Reasons Why You Should Leave Office Sharp!'.
1) Employment letter stated that working finish at 6pm
2) Work is a never ending process even you stay until next morning you will never finish it.
3) Human are not robots even robts/machines have to rest or else it will facing breakdown problems.
4) You love your career, but your family is even more important in your life.
5) If you failed in your life, your boss is not going to be the one who gives you a helping hand whereas your family would definitely offer help.
6) You do not want to screw up or make your life miserable because of your job.
7) Monthly salary = work from 9am - 6pm
If 6:30pm = $0 + 0 Bonus + 0 AngPau + 0 Appreciation + Bad Health + Bad Social Life + Poor Family Relationship
Equal to : Unproductive Employee + Performance Drop + Company Reputation Drops + Retrenchment Rate Increases + Resignation Rate Increases
8) If the person who DISAGREE to the above formulation, we think he/she is a loser who has no life, heartless, doomed workaholic, etc.
He/She deserves the 'BEST EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR AWARD'!
9) You don't give a damn if your boss fires you.
10) For the Chinese, remember this 'House In The East No Longer Keep You, Then Just Move To The West House' = '东家不打,打西家'
So, do you still want to stay back?
After reading the email, some how I do agreed with it and will try my best to balance my life - work and family, to improve my life style, and spend more time with my family.

Is Time For A Job Change?
I have been with Avaya more than 2 years and after all the consideration, I would say - yes, is time for me to move ahead. So I have started my new job right after my last day, 11April2008 (Friday) with Avaya, not going to take any break, just work!
I haven't officially started my work yet (sound so complicated), still in a stage of reading documents. Oh! Ya. I am still in CRM field, but not using SalesForce CRM, is Microsoft CRM. Not convenient to explain much but one thing for sure, this will value added to my carreer path. Thanks for my ex-boss, Low Wee Meng, 真的难以形容 but really appreciate him for given me so much support and guidance. I will missed him so much and wish that in future we can still work as a team. 天下有不散之宴席！
The first week when I newly joined, I am scanning through all the documents, included hardcopy and softcopy document. What a boring week I had where most of my time was reading. And for my second week, then the technician guy have the MS CRM installed into my laptop. Now I started to have myself exploring and to get familiar with the tool.

Our 2008 Valentine's Day
Before I start my writing, I want to thank my hubby for arranging the entire event to celebrate Valentine's Day.
Is cruel to say that I have no expression at that time when I know my hubby going to bring me to the Singapore Flyer. This is because the Singapore Flyer just looks like a ferry wheel for me when I see it from far. On that day itself, then I take initiative to find out more about it from the internet. First, I found that it's really unique and special. I am really excited and looking forward to be there. Secondly, then I realise that it really expensive.
I took some photo - night view when I am inside the capsule.
He is so sweet as he chosen this time 7pm to board on the capsule is to watch sunset together. We had our most romantic and memorable Valentine's Day watching the sunset and beautiful lights on gradually from the buildings.
After the ride, we went for a movie 'The Leap Years' at GV VivoCity. This is my first time having dinner in the cinema and serve with a glass of wine. Here is the dinner menu:
Food listed in the menu sounds great and delicious right? Actually the food taste good and delicious. One thing that I am not use to was when my dinner was served, I can't see my food at all, too dark and even no fork and spoon given. Hubby and I looked at each other at that moment, whether to ask for the utensils or wait for while. Movie started, we look around, can't find any waiters, and we saw our neighbour sitting beside us using their fingers to pick their food, so I have to use my finger too. Good that they prepare the food in bite size where easy and convenient to eat.
Dinner Menu |
Canapes Smoked Salmon, Roast Beef Asparagus & Pettite Shell Mushroom |
Main Chicken Shashlik Skewers with Wolfberry Sauce |
Dessert Ivory Chocolate Dome |
Choice of Coffee, Tea or Soft Drink |
Heathcote Estate Shiraz, Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc or Moet & Chandon NV Brut Imperial |

Gosh! This is my first time eating out using fingers. What a experience!

My 2006 Christmas Day - Dinner at Tung Lok Signatures Vivo City
After sending my relatives back home, settle down Wayne, rest for a while then we go out again to meet up with my ex-lab assistant and librarian.
Gathering during Christmas day at Tung Lok Signatures - Vivo City. Total of 8 having dinner together, the lady sit beside me are Teck Hin's ex-colleague, 4 of us work in Singapore - Derrick, Weng Thai, hubby & I, and other 3 (Teck Hin, Mun Hin also known as 'Bear-bear' and Soue Hoong) come over to celebrate Christmas and visit.
Hubby & I reached Harbour Front MRT at 6:30pm, we are not familiar with that area, so need to look out for the place. Meet Soue Hoong in front of Tung Lok Signature entrance, she is waiting for bear-bear. Derrick came out to show us the way to the table - so sweet of him. Is nice and great to organise this gathering - meet up and get update with each other.
We occupied their table more than 2 and half hours, so we decide to go elsewhere to have a drink as well to continue our updates. We found a place around there but I can't remember the name of the shop. I just know that I ordered a glass of Blue Caribbean, is a cocktail, it taste great and nice, my hubby and I enjoyed that drink. And of course, we have a happy and wonderful day too!
11:30pm reached home.
