State of Being : Bored

Took this personality test out of boredom. Try it to find out which Sesame Street character do you resemble the most...

Big Bird
You scored 81% Organization, 65% abstract, and 62% extroverted!

You both are very organized. You almost always know where your belongings are and you prefer things neat. You may even enjoy cleaning and find it therapeutic. Big Bird is never sloppy and always under control... pretty good for a 6 year old bird living without a family. (TRUE)

You both are abstract thinkers. Big Bird is a dreamer who always wonders what the world is like. You definitely are not afraid to take chances in life. You only live once. You may notice others around you playing it safe, but you are more concerned with not compromising your desires, and getting everything you can out of life. This is a very romantic approach to life, but hopefully you are also grounded enough to get by. (SOMEWHAT TRUE)

You are both somewhat extroverted. Like Big Bird, you probably like to have some time to yourself, but you do appreciate spending time with your friends, and you aren't scared of social situations. Big Bird is always very comfortable around others, but he often prefers the quiet low-key presence that Snuffleupagus provides. (SOMEWHAT TRUE)

How u compared to other people
your age & gender:

You scored higher than 97% on Organization
You scored higher than 85% on concrete-abstra
You scored higher than 53% on intro-extrovert

Best Buy

State of Being : Pleased (with the bargains)

Went to the 3rd Annual Charity "Flea Market" organised by the housekeeping dept over last Thur & Fri (11-12 Oct). Didn't know there was such an event until now. Items that were on "lelong" include books/novels at merely $1 each, hp/laptop chargers at $2-3, soft toys for $1-3, sneakers (used? *yewk*), clothes, irons, flasks, and more. These items were either inventories that have been replaced by the hotel, items that were left behind by hotel guests, or items donated by hotel staffs themselves.

Luckily we arrived early at 1030am on Thur and managed to scout for pretty good bargains. My colleagues D & R were extremely pleased with getting a 2nd-hand hair straightener each for just $3!! Other items purchased by my colleagues include belts, handbags, universal adapters, camera tripod stand, toiletries kits, hangers and pots. As for me, I only spent a total of $6 to get 6 items, namely

(A) 1 Laptop Hardcase - $2
(B) 1 Beanie Baby soft toy - $2
(C) 1 "Patrick the Starfish" soft toy - $1
(D) 3 Hangers - $1 (not shown in the pix)

Definition of "Friend"

State of Being : Sad

Definition of FRIEND: [n] a person you know well and regard with affection and trust

Had a major fallout with W yesterday who felt that I was taking advantage of W, which isn't true at all. Honestly speaking, I felt that I was 'upholding' my own principle like W. IMHO, I felt that I had performed my duties as a friend to my best abilities and the argument we had was simply due to our differences in viewpoint. On hindsight we were both probably too headstrong in insisting that we were right and were not willing to compromise at all. Hopefully time will heal all 'wounds' and our friendship can withstand this ordeal... =(

What does it take to climb to the Top?

State of Being : Disgusted

Though have only been working for close to 4 years but have already witnessed many instances whereby people will try all means and ways to hobnob with the right people in order to get to the top.

Take for example, a recent colleague of mine J who is thinking of relocating to Zurich. Most of our colleagues know that J is always mixing around with the "older" and more experienced people rather than with the "younger " crowd. Even though J and I are of the same age group, I've never fancy mixing with J. It came quite of a surprise that J is thinking of moving to Zurich!!! For work experience?? I reckon that J would like to be "closer" to our lady VP who is based in Zurich and it helps that the latter is kinda fond of J as well. Guess J will "blend in" well over in Zurich since J is sort of a "socialite", excellent in cracking jokes and making small talks. *rollz eyes*

Other colleagues once asked me why I did not consider relocating to Zurich as well? Think I'm just not that into fame and power, perhaps not at the moment lah...

ASPAC S&M Meeting (so glad it's over...)

Labels: , Posted by Emale on Sunday, October 01, 2006 at 2:26 PM

State of Being : Relieved

Been busy over the past few days with the ASPAC S&M Meeting. Have to engage myself making small talk with my fellow regional colleagues. Really dread these functions... The 4 days event kicked off on 28 Sep with a welcome cocktail held at the Swissotel The Stamford Presidential Suite and the night lasted til 10++ pm. Exchanged so many namecards along the way that at the end of the night I can't really recall who is who. But for those whom I've liaise before (mostly thru email communication), it's definitely good to finally put a face to a name.

The next 2 days were mostly presentations to the DOSMs on the upcoming initiatives from the various departments - Branding, Distribution, Global Sales & of course Loyalty held at the function rooms in Equinox. Kinda nerve wrecking delivering my presentation on the loyalty programme to the audience. This was my first full fledged presentation since the last one which I did in Bangkok GM Conference was only for a small portion. *yikes* On hindsight, think my presentation could have been better but what the heck, cos I managed to get the points across at the end of the day!

Over the course of the event, we had lunches at Sze Chuan Court, Equinox and dinner at Swissotel Merchant Court. We even had access to New Asia Bar members-only Club 72. =)


p.s. found this interesting article on "How to Make Small Talk"
