Arrived back in Singapore after spending 4 days in Bangkok. It was the first time I attended a presentation to the top management of a company. It was really an eye opener. The amount of preparation my management put in before the presentation, and the way they go through everything with a fine comb was [...]
Some ramblings about the economy crisis. 1) My colleague who used to complain that he has no time, and very busy, suddenly requested that the company do not employ any more staff, and instead he will take on any of the tasks that are planned. I mean, should not he be actually having this kind of [...]
So he did keep his promise. Now I just need to cross my fingers and hope they do not reject it again. The 2 reasons given last year will not be valid this year. I hope.
So the new Project Manager came in like 2 weeks ago. The previous one did not do himself any favours by immediately emailing all the stakeholders about the new guy taking over him.

It is with great significance when I read about Cowboy Caleb’s entry on traveling overseas alone to work. With the recent trips to Bangkok, and the forthcoming trips next year to KL and Bangkok, I can foresee that I will have the same feeling as him, feeling lonely in the hotel room, wondering what I [...]

While I will be flying to Bangkok and Hong Kong for work in the next two weeks, one is flying to US to work for three years and another one is flying to somewhere in Indonesia for diving. I also just found out someone I know will be flying to Japan in September to work [...]
So it is confirmed then. Two trips next month, the first one to Bangkok followed by HongKong shortly after. The trip to Bangkok will be stressful, as I will be setting up everything myself. And talking in a trade show, never done that before. The trip to HongKong will be better, just be there to [...]
After coming back from my holiday, it was my colleagues turn to go on theirs. And this week, it was my boss’s turn. I had to take over much of his job for this week. I find myself juggling between 2 projects, not to mentioned having a client presentation in between. After coming home from [...]
