Lessons learnt...

It's been a while since I blogged... a lot of things have happened and a lot of lessons have been learnt throughout this... let's recap...

Office

A lot of my colleagues left... they served their notice and left... office is a lot more quieter than usual... sometimes i wonder if it is good or bad... good cos then i can work in peace.. bad is bcos the air seems to be so dead, morale seems low... new colleagues came quickly to fill in the void.. but i guess it is just not the same... from a newbie in the company, i quickly got promoted to one of the old birds around... i got also to see for myself how others interact with each other and how quickly they want to try to bond with each other so that they can work better in the long run... i dun like such pretence... for me, the bonding comes naturally, be it thru work or thru lunch... it's natural... do not need to cultivate purposefully though...

Work has been tiresome... a lot of work has been piling up due to some miscommunications and time is needed to clear my stuff for my own project... it has been lagging and yes, i do feel the pressure to pull it back on track... but i guess next week should be a better week... I have managed to finish my ocbc cycle and can fully concentrate on Biathlon and my upcoming projects... the battle has just begun...

speaking of ocbc, it's an experience to remember... be it the good or bad... if it's good, u learn from it, if it's bad, u learn not to go down the same route... but yes, it has been a rewarding 3 days... an eye opener to see how real event companies work... of cos, it's also a good networking session i had with the sponsors which I feel was the best thing i could ever get from this event...

Personal

I attended Wakin's concert... satisfying... lots of memories... his songs have been with me since 14... and i have not missed any of his concerts except for the 20th anniversary and the lee guitars cos i had nobody to go with me... this time round, i had jean with me... by the time, he sang the second song, i already had tears in my eyes.. it was the sincerity that i could feel that moved me... but then again, i'm a crybaby to begin with...

I haven't had a personal life for a while since i'm always stuck at work and weekends are always stuck with attending events for work related reasons... it's a learning curve i guess... the more ppl i know & the more i know about the things happening around me, the better it is for me...

I guess that's so much for my poor non existent social life.. sigh....
