A Change....

I felt sad this couple of days as i've discovered that my senior product executive has been promoted to a assistant product manager. We came in at the same time but she was promoted to a managerial position whereby i'm still stuck at this present position. I was experiencing sharp pains in my heart and felt rather displeased with myself and questioning whether did i done anything wrong and that why i wasn't deserved to be promoted as well.

Then, i received another bad news, my boss is intending to ask me to be placed under the counter session in a way to supervise the counter staff and keep an eye on them as well. My big boss has always been thinking of putting all his product team at the front counter so that if there were any enquiries from big groups, its easier for the counter colleagues to close the sale. With this arrangement done, i may have to perform shift duties and might have to work on weekends and even public holidays as well, as these are the times where the public will come and enquire on tours and etc...

When i put the two together, i felt that my boss is trying to push me out as there is the saying of "one mountain cannot hide two tigers" meaning to say that she cannot have two managerial position supporting her in this area. And hence, the decision to get me out to the counter. I was at a loss and i kinda of like my job and how its going right now, but with this change, i really felt extra lost...

Oh well, lets see what the year 2008 will bring for me...

My overseas assignment confirmed!

It has been confirmed that i will be leading a group of around 80plus of folks up to Koh Samui Island. I'm really excited and bewildered about this opportunity. We will be allocating 2 Tour Leaders which includes myself and another of my co-worker to come along to lead this trip. I will be gone from the 6th to the 9th December 2007. Along with this group of passengers, there will be this female artiste following us, her name is Jing Yin Ji. She has been with Mediacorp for some time and now her main acting focuses on mums, grandparents along that line.

Not many of us anticipated this to be a success as nobody actually wants to follow this programme. I guess this artiste pull of her own supporters is not that strong, meaning her supporters are mainly from the older folks and going to a beach holiday does not excite them at all, from the holiday trend of my country. And hence, it wasn't a huge success this time round compared to the other trip i had last year. My boss has actually wanted to have a younger artiste to lead this tour, someone hip, full of vigour or sunshine and hopefully lots of young supporters but the final decision lies with my big boss and he decided to have this Jing Ying Ji to lead this group. Well, maybe, this is a lesson to be gleaned for my big boss and not any artiste will attract the crowd to come and support but someone of a certain popularity will be able to do so. Well, i will end here and write somemore later...

Overseas Assignment again

Boy, i received some good news for myself. My boss told me that i were to choose one of the charter flights which is flying off this early December to Thailand to lead a group up. I was quite excited that i could again do this assignment again.

There are two dates which i am given and to choose one date to go. The departure date of 6th December has about seventy-nine passenger and the date of 9th December has zero passengers. I think that i may choose the date of 6th December as i could also earn some tipping from my fellow passengers and at the same time, i could also earn some allowances for this trip although it isn't much for me.

Next, i will have to get ready to pack up for this trip, but before that, there are alot of preparation work to be done. I will have to conduct a briefing for all those seventy-nine passengers, clear off those balance payments and many other administrative duties to be fulfilled. Next, i will have to purchase a digital camera to bring along, my old canon digital camera broke down when i dropped it while coming back from another overseas assignment last year. I still have not got around to buy one yet. Still thinking which brand, model to buy though. Oh, i am brimming with happiness that i could go for a trip again....

My other training...

I recently finished my in-camp training. That was the same kind of in-camp training that i went through and its the 3rd time that i have done such a exercise before in my time. I have found that life is refreshing once you have completed such a exercise and well i guess time is really well spent learning from one another (other camp mates). I have made some new friends along the in-camp training and have learnt some new things as well.

Alot of my in-camp mates think that this exercise is really a waste of time and resources of us and would really rather go back outside to work our ass off. You see some of us are self-employed and hence this unique group of guys think that this exercise is really wasting their time where they can use this time and earn more money out in the corporate world. They have tried to defer this in-camp training but was rejected. Reason being that the notice was sent out 6 months ago before this scheduled training and hence there isn't a excuse that there isn't anyone to cover the duties of those coming for this in-camp training. I've have tried to defer myself and this was exactly what i got in my face. These days, the government in my country really takes in-camp training very seriously and would take actions if that certain individual does not turn up for this training. In my country where i lived, its against the law to not turn up for this in-camp training whenever you are being called up.

During this time, i have learnt some things from my this friend whom is also in the same vocation as me. We served this in-camp training together, he is a nice guy and in his thirties. He is still single and living with his mum and dad, drives a car and is a manager (IT division) of a IBM company here. He is a fanatic of PSP where i think anyone whom owns a PSP will agree that its a great game to bring along to enjoy during those free times that we have during this in-camp training. I even got some sites where i can download new games and also some fun animes which i like to watch and am trying to download it into my PSP game machine.

All in all, this in-camp training has helped me gain some new friends and if i am not wrong, this could be my last in-camp training. Well, fingers crossed.....till then in-camp training....

My friends truck

I have a friend whom just left for states just a few days ago. She has this truck that she has been driving for some time which was quite cool and really suits her needs as well. While her two nephews from states were here to visit her, she played host for them in Singapore and i guess that both kid really enjoyed their stay in Singapore here with her. There was a trip where she brought them to the beach and the boys really like this outing. They had a really good time and enjoyed themselves tremendously with all the swimming and playing in the sand. Lucky her, she was driving this truck if not all the sand and salt water bringing back to the car would have spoilt the inside of it. And so, with a truck, she doesn't really mind the boys coming into the truck with their sandy and salty feets. While surfing the website, i notice this site at www.buyautotruckaccessories.com, where they have lots of truck accessories and thistruck bed liner will be a good item on offer to purchase first. With its STK Line-A-Bed Bedliners, it delivers Superior Bed Protection with skid resistant technology,ideal for the boys if they want to sit on the back of the truck while she drives and of course with a adult supervision onboard the back of the truck. I think that will be a good idea for her truck and i will introduce this site to her when she comes back from states.

Different occupation

This time round for three weeks,i will be doing my reservist training. This reservist training is all about preparing the men whom have gone back to the society to work and are recalled back to do some training and exercise to prepare them just in case the country needs them for war time situation here. I have a number of friends whom comes from all walks of life, some come from the other government sectors, most come from the private sectors and a small percentage being self-employed. Normally its the self-employed whom mades a big fuss while attending this reservist coz time is money and precious earning money time is wasted on coming back for re-training in camp, although the military do reimburse back the money that these self-employed lost out on.

One of my friend comes from the treasury departments belonging to the local banking institution here, while the other friend of mine comes from the gold
, other precious metals and commodities trading department from a local firm. While these two of my friends became acquainted here, they began non-stop on trading on stocks, shares and other investments which did not sound anything to me. I guess probably its the profession that they are in and hence its a good conversation material for them. For me, i'm trying to learn up on gold, silver and other precious metals investment portfolios and Monex Deposit Company mades a good partner to be with while their consultants are experts in these fields. With more than 40 solid years of foundation and has been America's trusted name, I will depend and seek them out if i am you, wait no more, seek them out today!
