destiny

Do u believe in destiny?

I met a friend who happen to visit singapore for 2 days and on 2 consecutive days, he met me at very unexpected places like clarke quay and orchard, which I hardly visit.

I have a friend who never fail to heat up my temper every time I talk to him but he is still by far my best friend for 10 years.

I have a family where the couple never fails to find fault with each other, but they have been together for 20 years now, and neither one has extra-marrital affairs outside.

I have a group of friends whom were all introduced to me by other friends and 2 out of 3 are teachers.

I used to reject smoking, sales jobs, but now only ha vi tried life insurance, and  up to now i’m still in the insurance industry.

so is there such a thing as destiny?

new year

December 30th, 2006 by qianwen

I think by now most pple should know that I have switched to motor insurance, under claims dept in Mitsui.

I had a pretty surprising encounter at the first new year party I attended in this current company yesterday.We went to a pub in boat quay. it was my first time inviting  a stranger to play pool with me as none of my collegues know how to play and I was really excited about it as the pool table was right in the middle of the pub. I wasn attracted to him. I just need a player. but of course it was kinda awkward when we exchange occasional glances as our tables were side by side.

i also had my first puff.It wasn choking or unpleasant. I was pretty excited to get some smoke out from my mouth, but in the end, my friend gave up on me and asked me not to waste her cigarette. haha

as usual, when it comes to drunk friends, my impression  to others as a big sister came in handy. we stood by the roadside, while she fall on me and sat down by the roadside. I hope instead of me lending a shoulder, one day a guy will come along and lend me his shoulders when i’m drunk.. a guy who will allow me to sa jiao, even though i dun look like one. most importantly a guy who never look at me as though i should behave, look and act like one who should be responsible, mature, independent, understanding. I really want to be able to throw tantrums like any other girl.

Mark my words, Please do not watch Borat.Horrible and terrible show, absolutely crap show!

Twist of events

October 17th, 2006 by qianwen

Hi guys, I’m back. After MIA for such a long time, do u guys miss me?

These few months in the insurance line is really quite an experience for me. Yesterday, i finally resigned, facing to the fact that i’m really not much of a sales person.

Do i hear heaves and reliefs out there?Hmm….. I’m not too sure how many of my friends are siaming me now,too many a time I kept persuading myself not to approach frenz, but when the pressure is up,there’s always a tedency to approach frenz.But that doesn mean insurance is no good, in fact I still think everyone needs insurance at least one endowment and one life/term insurance.

My advice to all my loyal readers. Don’t procastinate due to busy schedule. We never know what will happen to us next min. When events strike, there will be no more time to wait and when we found out that we have illnesses, no insurance company will insure us.

I almost lost a friend in Sept due to a quarrel. Recently his mother met with some mishap, and as a result we are back in contact.Really things are so unpredictable.

Oh my god, my brother just appeared in front of me right in the middle of a Tuesday noon. Conclusion: His camp damn slack!

Now Im back to zero. Not too sure what job I want, but I know I need a low profile job and definitely not in sales, because i got a lot from Guanyin Temple saying that business for me would not be good this year! I may not be superstitious but It doesn hurt to believe right……

Appraisal vs Resignation

September 10th, 2006 by qianwen
A newly-joined trainee engineer asks his boss 

" What is the meaning of appraisal ? "

Boss : " Do you know the meaning of resignation ? "

Trainee : " Yes, I do. "

Boss : " So let me make you understand what an appraisal is by comparing it with resignation. "             


Appraisal Resignation


In an appraisal meeting they will speak only about your weakness, errors and failures.




In a resignation meeting they will speak only about your strengths, past achievements and success.


During an appraisal you may need to cry and beg for even a 10% pay hike.




In a resignation meeting you can easily demand ( or get more without asking ) more than 50-60% pay-hike !


During an appraisal, they will deny promotion saying that you did not meet the expectation, you don’t have leadership qualities, and that you had several drawbacks in reaching objective/goal.


During resignation, they’ll say you are the core member of the team; that you are the vision of the company, and so " How can you go ? "; you have to take the project on your shoulders and lead your juniors to success.




There is a 90% chance of not getting any significant incentives after appraisal.




There is a 90% chance of getting an immediate pay-hike after you put in your resignation.





Trainee :
" Yes, boss, good enough.  Now I know what to do. 
 

When you are about to do my appraisal, I will resign. "

Joke of the day

August 19th, 2006 by qianwen
A young man married a beautiful woman who had previously divorced ten husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle; I’m still a virgin."

"What?" said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you’ve been married ten times?"

"Well, husband #1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me how great it was going to be.

Husband #2 was in Software Services; he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he’d look into it and get back to me.

Husband #3 was from Field Services ; he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn’t get the system up.

Husband #4 was in Telemarketing; even though he knew he had the order, he didn’t know when he would be able to deliver.

Husband #5 was an Engineer; he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.

Husband #6 was from Administration ; he thought he knew how, but he wasn’t sure whether it was his job or not.

Husband #7 was in Marketing; although he had a product, he was never sure how to position it.

Husband #8 was a psychiatrist; all he ever did was talk about it.

Husband #9 was a gynecologist; all he did was look at it.

Husband #10 was a stamp collector; all he ever did was…God, I miss him!

But now that I’ve married you, I’m so excited!"

"Good," said the husband, "but, why?"

"You’re with the Government. This time I KNOW I’m gonna get SCREWED!

Yesterday, I talked to my friend and i think some pple might misunderstood my blogs.

Being tired and stressed up is part and parcel of the job.anyone in any financial industry will face the similar dilemmas as me. I would just like to declare that:

1. What I have written in my blogs are all my personal opinions and does not represent that of my company’s or anyone else in the company.

2. None of my blogs are to be used as a propaganda.

3. I love my organisation. I have great seniors and managers to help me.
