Work Culture

Recently, after working as an intern in an office setting with a sales and business development role to play in there... I started to get a hang of the stress and pressure piling up....

And this kind of stress gets worst when working culture difference kicks in...

Person A prefer to use "I say you follow" working style while
Person B prefer to use "Make me understand the fundamentals before asking me to do something" working style


This is what happened to me when I just simply can't adapt to the working culture of my superior. I mean we trashed out the differences in honesty and both understand how different our working culture is like...as such...we have decided to part way....

With that... I think through for a bit... how this kind of problem which seems no definite answer can be solved???

So, I decided to use the most popular method to look for answer... Google Search Engine + Youtube Video...and guess what? I found a lot of interesting videos.... Take a look:

(Sorry I don't have the time to rip the videos and upload it...I'll try to upload it soon,
in the meantime, click on the links provided to view them)

This video sounds out the importance of creating a good working culture:
This video is hilarious...it extravagant the strict and rigid working culture:
This video acts as a wake-up call for those employers/superiors who still don't recognise the true value an employees play in an organization:
This video is a cheesy MV as a "Good Company Motivational Training Video"...sounds interesting
After watching these videos.... what's your take? Are you facing difficulties to integrate into a different working culture before? If yes, how you solve this???

The Hot New 2008 Short Hairstyle

Been really tied down with internship and pool commitment lately that I've not been blogging in a while...Think I've been losing touch with Web 2.0 lately, which I've been missing alot... gotta catch up with whatever been around soon.
Yesterday evening, out of a spur moment, I decided to get my hair cut.... and guess what? I've cutted the shortest haircut I've ever had.

I wasn't too sure what caused this action but I think maybe I am just too stressed up with my internship workload and tired of looking the way I usually am....so shagged and old and nothing changes even you saw me 3 years ago that kinda look....
And...so this is it! My new hairstyle!!!


Rihanna's super short pixy style that can be fun and spunky or classy and elegant.



Katie Holmes' Shorter Short Hairstyle that is stylish and chic

A blend of Rihanna's super short pixy style plus Katie Holmes' shorter short cut! That's what I have styled for this summer's new look!

One of the other celebrities that had this hairstyle is....

Posh is another worldwide fashion icon that has been sporting and updated version of the bob: the pob (Posh + bob = pob!). She has longer sleek hair in the front that angles while becoming shorter and layered in the back.


This bob + bangs Hairstyle is most definitely the sexiest short hairstyle out there for this summer.

So...will you have the courage to cut your long and flowy hair as bob-short as mine ????

Growing Big On Pool

Last few weeks ago, I received an sms from my coach, Ricky Chew, whether I wanted to join in a new squad for set up by Cue Sport Singapore - National Ladies Development Squad for Pool.

So, after weighing out the level of commitments and passion, I decided to join this newly formed squad. And so yesterday... there I was at the first training session.

Initially, I am afraid that it's going to be a very strict training which was conducted by the National Coach - Coach Chen who is a Taiwanese... As I always see him with very serious look on his face. But after the 1st session @ Klassic, I found out that he's actually a very fatherly figure. A coach that I think most people will love and respect...I think I will learn a lot from him!

Although the training was fun as I got to meet up with the rest of 14 selected girls and we had a wonderful time especially everyone was so friendly, I also noticed there were still varying differences in terms of skill and knowledge between most of us....although I admitted that all of us are considered pretty good among female players...

For me, I really look forward to going for training as I know I can improve, grow and learn alot from this squad as well as Coach Chen... but of course... I will always remember my initial coach Ricky...since it's with his encouragement and teaching that aspired me so that I can enter this squad...

I hope my aspiration for pool as a in-door sport will never cool off... so, do you like me, have something like a sport or hobby that keeps on inspiring you in life to brighten up your plain sailing life journey too???
