I'm working in a famous private institution in my country. The first impression whenever people hear about my company is... "Wow...that's for the rich! Oooo... full of crappy psycho...."
So now, I'm going to share the golden rules of surviving in my company. It really needs certain expertise in order to live happily ever after.
Rules No.1: Predator
Be a powerful predator in the company. Hunts down the prey before u yourself become the victim without even knowing what's going on. You must fully equip yourself with sharp claws, poisonous fangs, stereoscopic vision, maximum sensitivity & skillful hunting tech-tics.
Rules No.2: Perform at the Correct Time
Only perform during the correct timing, for instance, when the boss realises your existence. Please talk as loud as possible if u have completed certain task, and let the whole world knows that u are the one who is doing it. Better still, on your speaker to full volume so that your boss can hear it too. Or, use a camcorder to tape down how well u can act, and show it to the boss. They love to see the staffs performing. If you are a quiet worker, u may kiss good-bye to the company.
Rules No.3: Miracle-Maker
Under all circumstances, especially when the matters are related to publicity, u are dimmed to be a miracle-maker. Change the impossible to possible, by all mean. To try your best is an inappropriate attitude, cos when u try your best, doesn't mean that the miracle will appear. Therefore, my company is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry, where many Harry PotterS and Hermione GrangerS are so busy casting their spells all around, or sprinkling the potion to make everything possible.
Rules No.4: Protective Shield
The first year is basically working in a graveyard. All you get is bullet, no matter u are wrong, or innocent. Swallow the bullet, or leave, the choice is in your hand. U should learn how to save your own ass under every circumstances, as no one is there to back you up. In fact, they will use the sharpest knife to back stab u until u bleed profusely. Shit-cleaning is a very common task. Being called into the boss's room is like having tea-break in Starbucks. However, if u can get through the first year, u may start to smile from the second year onwards. Just like me, successfully survive for 8 years!
Rules No.5: Make your Boss Loves You
Please figure out a way to make your boss loves u. You may use any approach u want, as there is no restriction in this. When u become the apple of his eyes, u can have a sleepless night. A stable position, and got promoted, with salary increment, and of course year end bonus! I think my ex-boss does love me!
Rules No. 6: Be a Commander
When u are carrying out your duty, u must learn to be as cruel as possible. Do as I say, as I'm the commander. Do not ever show your smiling face, and be extra strict in every words u use. This must be started from the very first minute when u carry out your duty, else u will definitely die miserably.
Rules No. 7: Be a Tai-Chi Master
A Tai-Chi Master, means that u only do the work that u are suppose to do. Other than this, it is none of your business, so u should mind your own business and go back home when the clock strikes 4pm. Be firm, or people will push all their responsibility to u, as in cleaning the shits. When people know that u are difficult to mingle with, they will soon get their hands off u. Learn to speak for yourself.
Do u wana join my company? I welcome u!

"Official" Lunch
This is the current hot-topic occurring in my office.
Imagine this scenario: It is a hot & sweaty outdoor activity for 5 hours, all standing under the scorching sun. At the end of the activity, all are having "sweet-scene" from the sweat, looking extremely hideous, with T-shirt & short pants, plus the sport shoes, and the sticky hair.
What would u do after the activity if u were in this situation? Go straight home to have a good bath, and get a good sleep of course. Will u bother to go for a lunch at an air-conditioned restaurant???
The following is the speech from the head of my office, after seeing that only 9 out of 120 staffs intended to attend the so-called lunch:
"I was so disappointed because there were only 9 of u who signed up for the buffet lunch. And the other department is even worse, only 1 of them signed up. Sometimes, u have to know what is official, and what is not. Since this is an OFFICIAL matter, so u all should put in the effort to make it, especially those who are still single. The boss was very unhappy with it, and were suspecting if u people were boycotting him! I will put up another name list, and please make the proper decision."
Some of the staffs got so pissed off and fought back:
"Well... we never know to attend a lunch is an OFFICIAL matter, we were never told about it, and it never did happen in the history. All these while we were given the choice whether we want, or do not want to attend. Next time, please make it clear."
"Since u said that it was OFFICIAL, then please don't put up the name list before-hand and ask us to choose whether we are going or not."
"What do u mean by SINGLE should put in extra effort to attend? Does it mean that we are so free and we got nothing personal to deal with??"
The conclusion is:
WE WERE ALL BEEN FORCED TO ATTEND THIS SHITTY LUNCH AFTER THE OUTDOOR ACTIVITY, JUST TO PLEASE OUR NEW BOSS, AS HE FELT SO EMBARRASSED BECAUSE NON OF US BOTHER TO FOLLOW HIS WILL!
DAMN U!!! And here's my middle finger!!!

Australia - Day12 *Bye-bye Aus!*
Day 12, 03 Jan 2010
This short trip has finally came to the end. I was flying alone back to Singapore again. This time, I was sitting with a China girl, who was very small in size, and basically she was sleeping all the way back in the flight. I didn't wake her up when I wanted to go to the lavatory, so I just climbed over her seat... Imagine how small she is....
Nice weather
Another memorable trip of mine!!

Australia - Day11 *Robina @ Gold Coast*
Day 11, 02 Jan 2010
Robina Town Centre is Gold Coast's premier retail and leisure destination. The shopping choices available there are such as David Jones, Big W, Target, Kmart, Coles, Woolworths Supermarkets and over 300 specialty stores. The centre is also featuring some of Australia's most iconic brands such as SABA, Carla Zampatti, CUE, Country Road, David Lawrence, Sportscraft and more.
I find this place rather interesting, as all the shopping needs are covered under one roof. Of course I wouldn't let go this final chance of shopping, and ended up buying something from Guess & Country Road.
Happy Meal @ Mc Donald's

Australia - Day10 *Queen Street*
Day 10, 01 Jan 2010
^_^ Happy New Year 2010! Amazing... Another new beginning, a brand new chapter!
We went to the Queen Street today. Surprisingly, some of the shops were open for business. Today was a very relax day as the town was very quiet. I had my tea break at Starbucks along Queen Street. A rather windy afternoon.
Giant Ferroro Rocher at Queen Street Shopping Mall
Raspberry & Caramel Cheese Cakes
At night, we spent our time at Sunnybank Plaza for some games in the Fun Arcade, and thereafter a movie at AMC Cinema.
Spotted these Bridal Cars at Sunnybank Plaza

Australia - Day9 *Sunshine Coast + Southbank New Year Countdown*
Day 9, 31 Dec 09
Today was New Year Eve! We decided to visit Sunshine Coast again. First destination of the day was the Sunshine Castle situated at Bli Bli, about 10 minutes drive from Maroochydore.
Ettamogah Pub, spotted it on our way to Maroochydore
This way to Maroochydore
And here to Bli Bli
Welcome to Beautiful Bli Bli, a quiet & lovely small town established in 1868
Sunshine Castle
Dungeon & Dragon
Help!!! The Girl is attacked by a Dinosaur
Dolls Showroom.. Seems a little spooky for me
Nice View of Bli Bli from Sunshine Castle
After that, we moved on to the Ginger Factory at Yandina, another 10 minutes drive from Bli Bli. It was a fun experience as we took the opportunity to witness the production of ginger, and the ginger plantation. We bought the ticket for ginger product tasting and guide tour. Before we left, we purchased a few ginger products such as Gingerbread Man, Ginger Sauce & Ginger Mayonnaise.
Welcome to the Ginger Factory
Ginger Tour
At night, it was the highlight of the day - Countdown for New Year at Southbank! We took the public bus there to avoid the hassle for looking for parking place. It was very crowded, but well-organised as we were all being scanned for alcoholic drinks before entering into the Southbank Region for the countdown activities. No alcoholic drinks = No Fighting!
We reached there about 10.30pm, rather early in order to choose a nice spot. Tonight, it was very windy along the river. I find it rather romantic actually :)

Happy New Year!
Supper at 2am... Or I'd rather called it a Breakfast
