How things have changed over the years...

Met up with my old old old fren on Saturday... and had a v long chat.. Glad that she has found someone FINALLY!
But looking at the pic... gosh we have all grown older.. wished i had the pic we took like 10 years ago to compare.. (but its in my old lappy, lazy to transfer)

How things have changed over the years!! But one thing for certain, we have both grown older..and (hopefully), Wiser. :)

It's not how good you are, It's how good you want to be.

'Nearly all rich and powerful people are not notably talented, educated, charming or good-looking.

They become rich and powerful by wanting to be rich and powerful.

Your vision of where or who you want to be is the greatest asset you have.

Without having a goal, it is difficult to score.'

Just read this book by Paul Arden.. very inspiring indeed. Read it, and you'll know what i mean...

By the way, these are some quotes to share:

'There are no short cuts to any place worth going'
Beverly Sills

'Some people take no mental exercise apart from jumping to conclusions'
Harold Acton

'Happiness is a singular incentive to mediocrity'
Michel Montaigne

And we all wear masks

What comes to mind when you have someone who is very unpredictable, and changes what he/she says and does very frequently?

Unreliable.

.. and for that i quote my boss.
what an irony...

Missing

I learn something new about people everyday, and meet with the weirdest of candidates and situations.

In a recent case, this candidate of mine took up a job with this particular bank just about a month ago, and decided to leave shortly after cos she was too stressed up due to her CFA exams. Her employer claimed that she seemed very emotionally unstable and was all tears when she tendered her resignation.

We called her up at her house and her mobile and couldn't find her at all. Next moment her landlord called to accuse me of being a loanshark/debt collector and to inform that she has already moved away.

Just today, her husband mentioned that she has migrated to Australia (in an extremely hostile manner).

All these happened within a span of 2 months?

Things can't get weirder.

And believe it or not, this candidate of mine, she's a snr professional who's drawing ~5K a month.

Beats me what these "senior professionals" are thinking...

First Resignation

Just received news today that one of my colleagues has resigned and her last day is on Friday.

Though I did had this very strong premonition that she will leave sooner or later, kinda didn't expect it to be so soon.

3rd July marks my 1 year anniversary with the company.

It makes me think.

New Hairstyle

Cut my hair about 2 weeks ago. Was quite a drastic change compared to my previous hairstyle. Can't seem to find a better pic to describe my hair now. It's almost like the girl in the pic of the japanese girl on top, only more brown. have also changed the hairstyle of my maple character. kawaii ne!

By the way... Boss is nt around today. Hurray! ^^
