Good looks

I wonder if you are blessed with good looks, do you have the personality to go with it?

Of course being born with good looks are an advantage in society. Imagine that face of yours is helping you to pay rents / keep life going! Of course the harder you work (especially in bar / lap dance) the more tipssss you will get to pay for necessities, isnt it?

What people look upon when meeting or seeing someone for the first time?
- Face
- Body
- Dressing
- Personalities

For me, i will notice
- how smooth is their skin
- Teeth (crooked or straight perfect?)
- Nails (chipped nails or dirt under the nails?)

Aaahhh.. the beauty of plastic surgery !!

Human vs Jobs

It never occurred to me that finding a well paid job is hard especially in today's market. I always thought there are alot of jobs in the market, its only up to you either you want to take it or not.

And.. here is the real reason why you quit your (insert) job.

When you dont feel appreciated (either by money, colleagues, jealousy, etc)or you feel that you can do better and achieve more thats when you will start applying and hunting for jobs wether thru newspapers, words of mouth or online.

Out of curiosity I offered to help my fren, Y to look for job the other day. Y had applied for 25 white collar and blue colour jobs and so far no one called her.. yet. And i thought the more you applied, the more chances you have just like the lucky draw scam in every supermakets Boy was i wrong!

It could be the 'year end / year start' symptoms. People refuse to resign as they are waiting for bonus which normally pays out in Dec or Jan or Feb or April or company pays half Jan and half Apr, etc etc etc.

People who are lazy to move out from their comfort zone.IE: Working there for the past 10 years. 15 years. 20 years. WTF!! People who have the mentality of "i have been patient with that damn old man for so and so, i can be patient with him for another so and so month or year.

When someone told me they have been with the company for the last 30 years, i seriously wanted to ask them what's so great about the company?

I know this lady who has worked in this international healthcare company for the past 35 years, she is now in her 50s and believe it or not this is her first job! After few meetings with her and we became close i have the courage to ask her why is she not leaving her current? Her answer to me is simple.

1. Have been working so long and have 4 kids hence her bosses (who are the owners btw) let her leave work early to pick her kids from school and she can comes late in the morning sometimes as she needs to send her kids to school. She asked me, FIRST where can u get this kind of 'special treatment'? SECOND, which companies will allow staffs to go back early to pick up their kids?

2. She gets a whole month off as a gratitude for her long service. Annual leave of 30 days. WTH! She gets to go off to whenever she likes as long as she finishes her work that is requested by her boss.

3. This one i have to agree with her. WHEREVER you work, all bosses are the same and they have the same(insert)attitude / behaviour / style. And since she has been working with this company for few decades she has known her bosses inside out and know what to and what's not.

Of course, her pregnancy were all taken care of, not to mention insurance for her whole family.

But are all these benefits sufficient enough for an employee to stay that long in the company?

What if you are your own boss one day, what kind of benefits will you give your staffs in order for them to be loyal?

Through the rain - Mariah Carey

When you lose hope and motivation, you dont even care if life is worth through the hardwork and dedication that you put in. You feel lifeless, you feel bored and you feel the emptiness inside your heart. You questioned yourself - What is life?

How i wish i can make it through..


Ho...ho...
Yeah...
Ho...ho...oh...ooh...ooh...


When you get caught in the rain
With nowhere to run
When you’re distraught and in pain
Without anyone


We keep prayin’ to saved
But nobody comes
And you feel so far away
That you just can’t


Find your way home
You can get there alone
It’s okay
What you say


I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain


Hoo...hoo...doo doo doo
Ooh...hoo...mmm...hmm...


And if you keep falling down
Don’t you dare give in
You will arise safe and sound
So keep pressing on


Step fastly
And you’ll find what you need
To prepare
What you say


I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain


And when the wind moves
And shadows grow close
Don’t be afraid
There’s nothing you can’t face


And sure they tell you
You’ll never pull through
Don’t hesitate
Stay calm and sane


I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain


I can make it through the rain
Can stand up once again
And I live one more day
And I’ll make it through the rain


Ooh, yes, you can
Mmm...hmm...
You can make it through the rain

What easy job?

When i was in college, our principal asked what we would like to do once we are out to the working world. So each of us took turn and one of them said, i wanted to be a waiter if i can. Principal asked, Of all jobs, why waiter? And he shyly replied - Cos it's an easy job.

Principal asked, Are u sure waiter-ing is an easy job? Then he kept quiet. I am sure he is a beginner in 'waiter-ing job' and he must be thinking all he gotta do is to wait the tables, to clean up after patrons left, serving drinks and taking out trash.

Any jobs in this world is never easy even to ie- receptionist. Yes you have to handle calls, relay messages and screen thru calls but who say its easy?
The recept in our office left and the girls who take over (rotation basis) told me its such an easy job. But for me they are not doing even well on their job what makes them think answering call is easy??

What irritate me is they even get the caller names wrong, spelt wrongly, go the message all wrong and cant speak properly what the caller want when they past the call thru. And they said this job is easy??

For me, its not a matter of what job you are doing regardless your status, age and race but its all about how good you are in your 'easy' job!

Greener grass

Often, its true that when staffs leave, its a loss for the company.

Loss of time. Loss of money to do recruitment. Loss of potential employees. Loss of a friend, maybe?

Today Y asked me, if you were offered the same pay from another company with benefits, will you stay or go?

(Given the current company has no benefits)

Of course i told him i will leave, why stay when you can choose to have a new environment, if not for better? Its a risk to take.
