How are you?
It's been again a year since I last posted. Amazing how we look back and see snippets of our lives we become so disassociated with, just one year away.
I chanced upon you searching for myself, whilst looking for a job.
I've left STB, and now starting something on my own - whilst hoping to find a job overseas, or something in Singapore is OK, as long it could help a regional track.
Its amazing listening to how my peers younger are getting 8-10k salary... sigh, wil i ever get that in the next 2-3 yrs? Its far away from what i have at stb.
Interestingly, the past year has been rather exciting. I've seen many of what i've wanted to see, experienced love, got some (and more) and life seemed like someone else altogether. Its normalising now, but you never know when things will come back ;)
til then, take care.
Kai

There are places i'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends i still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life i've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When i think of love as something new
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
In my life i love you more

I've received my letter.
For the second year , I am Base.
My boss fought really hard for me, but nobody else really had much to say on the table for my benefit in the ranking.
It's a pity , but i really appreciate what he's done for me.
It gives me hope that i'm not that bad. But i guess its time to move on.
No promotion, no salary adjustments, no bonus.
Thank you for all you've done, but i guess that's the problem in a large corporate organisation and a black mark puts baggage in your life.

I haven't blogged for the longest time. I am always drawn back to my blog when i have something to vent - something negative, which i cannot tell others because it will just be loading your negativity onto friends.
This period, i have been feeling very lonely - and also been running into very bad luck.
- A few short term relationships which didn't work.(and some ended abruptly)
- My closest friend has stopped hanging out, prioritising his boyfriend over me for months now, and finding things to be upset about me
- My mobile phone worth $600 (with precious pictures yet downloaded) and wallet was stolen, someone broke into my locker in california fitness orchard and swiped $700 worth of items the bank expects me to pay
- My work bag was stolen ($120 gift from a friend) along with a number of personal effects and some official office items which i may have to compensate, in the SAME WEEK i lost my mobile phone/wallet
- I finally found someone whom i think could be the one for me, we chatted several times for hours and he indicated interest in me. Suddenly, he isn't replying to me for a week, and i can't see him online, although i have found out he is online daily . I really miss him and think he has moved on to someone else.
- My bills are piling up, and my cashflow is facing problems for 2 months consecutive
Police has informed me they will stop investigating my case due to 'current circumstances' , despite i had done alot of work on to inform them where and who can supply CCTV footages to give a postive ID on the suspect who stole my wallet and mobile.
It's been a very bad period, i hope the silver lining will come soon. I haven't had anyone i can talk to who could give me some emotional support... it's been depressing and lonely.

I am always amazed to see how people can survive in the corporate jungle
Sometimes, you meet good guys
Sometimes you meet bad guys.
Both cases are good, as everyone learns to deal with them.
How about biased guys? How do you deal with biased bosses who wants you to leave, and is on good terms with even the bigger boss? He's bad to some of you, but good to everyone else - so you can't get group support or endorsement for the unreasonable behaviour of biased bosses.
Its a game of survival, but do we give in, or show them that we're not something they can manipulate and control? I do consider myself an individual worth humane respect, but the boss doesn't think so. He's told me in the face a few times I should go. Discussed with a few friends and colleague, and they feel I've done my part in work and my boss is really being unreasonable and I should leave. (My previous boss used to like me alot...)
Leaving is an option, do we always have to run away from problems? How do I turn the power control from him , the other way round? Leaving is giving him what he wants! How do i do this politically correctly without being confrontational - or is being 'attitude' the way to go? Sometimes I feel my soft agreeable nature really let's them slap me all over.
I've really gained a new perspective on work now. I used to be a workaholic, but now i feel that work is something to let me enjoy what I want in life, and I no longer devote my life to work, but i devote myself to life.
That means, a shit load of traveling - ahhh , i love the traveling life.
