Clarification

I guess i have not been very clear in my previous post since a couple of people actually msn or left comments for me. So to be clear, I have decided to P&G and start my new job in Kah Motors as Marketing Executive.

Thank you so much for all the well wishes that you have left for me. I will take all these wishes to my new job. :-)

Actually, there is not much to blog about this week except that i have already started transitioning and so have not much time to MSN during work. Furthermore, i am also required to stop my work from home so that i can transition. So i guess, i am a step closer to the new job...with regular working hours and no more MSN. I am still praying hard that MSN is available in the new job. hehe

Oh yah, other than transitioning, news that i will be leaving have started to spread around the workplace. So now, i am constantly explaining to people why i decided to leave. I should actually tape my answer and replay it every time. Will you know what is the most common reply that i have after explaining my reason? They wld ask if i did mentioned to my boss to find a position internally for me and my reply wld be i am only at the bottom of the hierarchy and in order for me to go into P&G marketing i will need to be at least Band 2 manager and how long will it take? 5 yrs or more? After this, everyone will agree that it was a right decision that i leave. As the days goes by, i am starting to have more confidence in my decision and it was indeed a correct decision even if Kah don't work out for me. Since i wldn't be moving anyway in my career if i continue to stay in P&G. Am i still not convinced? and actually trying to psycho myself here that i have made the right decision? hehe.

Another interesting thing i discovered is that there wld not be any announcement of my resignation in the department as it is actually a HR policy that no announcement will be made for people leaving P&G. so funny, right? So it will be slide in slide out arrangement (a P&G term) meaning today u see me and when u don't see me u will know i am gone.. However, i feel that it is a bit weird so i have decided to start breaking the news to people myself so that it wldn't be like i did something wrong and i am actually asked to leave.

Updates! Updates!

The past 2 weeks has been a very drama week for me. Reason being i was actually offered a Marketing position with Kah Motors. You might be wondering why would it be a drama week since it should be a dream come true for me. Afterall, this isn't what i have always been praying for. However, when the chance actually presented itself just after one interview, i started having doubts. Furthermore, the HR wasn't very friendly as she is constantly pressurizing me into giving answer.

After recovering from a state of shock, I decided to give it a try and informed my immediate boss abt my decision. Then surprisingly, they came up with a counter offer with another department doing customer business development. Dilemma again...since it was an area that i was interested in but have no confidence if i will realli be interested after actually doing the job. Hence, for the last 2 weeks, my mind was in a real mess and lost. For those who have been with me then, i realli appreciate all the listening ears that you have offered. I bet i was driving u nuts with my indecisiveness.

So after much delibration and imagine spirtual guidance as well (not to bored you with my decision making process), i decided to step out of my comfort zone and embrace what it is coming my way. Not sure if it will turn out good but i guess there is no 100% in everythings. I am fully prepared that there will be a lot of adjustment from my end and in adapting into the new work environment and culture. I bet in every job there will be areas for me to complain abt since i am the ultimate complaint queen. Lastly, what can be worst? At most just unemployment and then another cycle of job searching where i have actually do it for the past 4 yrs. Furthermore, it was also part of my plan to leave my current role in the next few mths.

So i will be officially leaving my comfort zone in next couple of weeks. Thereafter taking a short break before starting off in a new environment on 12 November. With this new job, i will be required to work till 7pm every mon, tue, thur and friday. Hence, for those who like to meet me after work next time, i will only be able to reach town by 745pm, earliest. So no more early krissy waiting for u all but u all have to wait for me.

Wish me luck in my future role.

Steamboat Dinner

It's our usual practise to always hang out at each other's birthday and our steamboat dinner is actually meant to celebrate the birth of our SQ girl 27 years ago. So since she has been serving others for the past 8 months, we decided to give her well-deserved break yesterday. We are all at her commands and preparing for our steamboat dinner. If i remember correctly, it's been a long long while since we last gathered at someone place for dinner. Thus, it was very fun just hanging out with each other over dinner and talking about anything under the sky and also updating each other of our problems and joys.

I guess nothing is happier than spending quality time with the people that you are truly concerned about. This friendship of more than a decade (to be exact is 14 yrs) is something that does not comes easily as we each move through different phases of our lifes and grow as a person and it is possible because each of us put in the same effort in mainting it. Thus, we should always continue put our best effort in sustaining this friendship to another next decade and a next and till the end of our lifes or maybe for our future generations.

It is really lucky that i have you gals around me all this time and tolerate me for all my nonsense and for who i am.

As the request by one of fellow members, i should include the amount of food we took in my blog so that we wldn't end up with excessive food for our next steamboat:

• 3 small white cabbage.
• 小白菜
• 1 packet of pork balls
• 1 packet of egg tofu and normal white tofu
• 1 packet of fish balls
• 1 tray of chicken fillet, fish, prawns
• 1 tray of fish paste thing...not sure what it is called
• 2 packets of 金针菇
• 1 packet of crab sticks
• 1 packet of japanese fish cake
• Some squids

I think that's about all we have last night.

Oh yah, after dinner, we were also introduced to a website. So if you are interested, you can download the game from http://www.mofungames.com/
