mArRiAgE??????

Hehe. Just saw Ruthie comments. But I already wanted to vent something here.
My mum hinted again I should get settled down. SO LAME!!!

Why get yourself into trouble when you are free from it? To me, marriage is something that is going to tie you down FOR LIFE!!! SCARRYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Life gets on even if you are single. But when you get someone to settle down, you are bonded for life!!!

The idea of living with someone you know for some time is horrible. I think there are people who doesn't know what they wanted or who they are till they are old. I think I am not mentally prepare to live that life. I also think that I need more time to understand myself. And for all I know all along, I trusted the wrong people.

Sometime you need someone to talk you when you are sad or down. However, they may not be always there for you. I'm sure there are also times that there are fights and arguments. People will get sad after that. There will be a scar then. You may kiss and patch up, however, the scar is always there and one party might just bring it up during the next fight. When that happen, things worsen. So when you are sad, that love one is also angry, hurt and sad. SO WHO SHOULD YOU CONFIDE IN??? NEVER WASH DIRTY LINEN IN PUBLIC!!! I see many relatives who fought but then they have to swallow it no matter how hard or difficult it is. They can't even confide in the closest kin.
The life that some couple lead are also horrible। They may be married in name, but they search for their own partners during weekends or change periodically. I hate this but I really see a lot of people around me doing this!!!

Later part in life, children come along. If you cannot handle your kids, passer-by will pass sarcastic remarks. "Aiyo, why the kids behave like that?" Or "EEE, the kids has no manners"
Life is so horrible. But if you don't want to have kids, people also comment lah. "Why they marry for so long liao, no kids huh?"

Maybe some more time later, you grow to dislike each other. Hate each other. Detest each other. Then what are you going to do? DIVORCE???!!!
That's most of the cases nowadays. In that case, why get married in the first place? The thing is that if divorce is the conclusion, why get yourself into all the trouble then???

Just ponder some questions like:
1. Is marriage sharing of financial burden?
2. Is marriage for life?
3. Is it just to make others happy?
4. We live for ourselves and not others, why should we care what others are thinking???


MY CONCLUSION!!!
NOT GETTING MARRIED UNTIL I FOUND THAT PERSON WHO CAN DO THE ABOVE!!!

Summary 001

It has been a few months since I started this blog. I thought that I would not have any time to update the blog. But then I seems like I'm quite happy to share my experience here. I don't care if I do hurt some people, but I think this is COOL and destressing!!!

So do continue to look out for my new posts in this blog.

HAHA!!! WORK AGAIN!!!

Yesterday I had a chat with my AGM। We were talking about my career path. Later, we were discussing about the people and the environment I work in.
Deep down in my heart, I think my boss is really the type of boss whom I'm like to work with and can command respect from me. The working colleagues wise, of course, there will people who hate you and people who love you. Overall, the working experience here is great.


BOSS:
A fun loving guy. When it's work, he means business and wanted things to be done. When it's time to relax, he will also go for it. After work, he really treats everyone like a friend. I think he's the type of boss that most of us are looking out for. At least, he's the boss that I look out for.
However, one thing about him is that he is usually the Mr Nice Guy, some people do not take him seriously. And there are times that people are bargaining with him.
Recently, I can see him really getting more serious and firm on his ground and people will draw the line clearly.
So "LAO BAN" (Boss), please keep it up and hope our centre can get more sales. But you don't bully me ok... (LATER MISS KEH BOXED YOU THEN YOU KNOW!!!) ^.^ Must give me pay raise ^o^


COLLEAGUES:

1. There are always people who you love. They will help you to get the simplest task done and help you through the difficult times. They are usually funny and can be flexible in the way things are being done.

2. There are always people who you will look for when you are happy or even sad. They are there for you to lend you a listening ears and they are there to make you laugh and cry. (Confused? LATER MISS KEH BOXED YOU THEN YOU KNOW LOR!!!) ^.^

3. There are always people who you seek advise in work or personal life. They are there to teach and guide you. They will recommend you the latest job updates and trends.

4. There are also people who are there to MAKE YOUR LIFE UPSIDE DOWN!!! I think for this area, I better "SHALUP!!!" or people want to kill me soon!!!

5. There are always people who will share their trouble, worries and view from you. I think everyone of us need a listening ears from time to time.

Anyway, these are some updates on the people whom I work with... So I MUST BE TOUGH AND FIRM ON MY STAND!!!

ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY!!!

AIYA!!! DAMM IT!!! (Apologises for the rudeness) But I'm REALLY ANGRY!!!

The story goes like this:

I think it was in Dec last year. A parent came to our centre and said she wants to enrol her 2 kids in the tuition program. So fine enough that she register and her kids start tuition in Jan. Then the kid has a low self esteem. So I said lah, if the kid really got problem, we can help mah. Why not just go some extra mile for some customer. That's customer service!!!

So I think this went on for a 2 Saturday afternoon when there are little or few kids. I think then the 1st time, I got complains from my OWN COLLEAGUES. They ask why is this kid here, she's not in our SCC mah. But then, aiyo, cannot go a bit further for a customer meh??? Then complain complain complain!!!! SIANZZZZ!!! ANGRY AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!!! But luckily, the tutor in charge, Mariana, also doing the same practise as she also feel that this is customer service. Usually she will also consult me if I can help her guide the student. For me, I think it's a good practice for me as the student is at least seeking help from me. While my own SCC kids will sometimes ignoreme also.

Today, the mum came and enquiry about classes for her neighbour. The boss just comment lah. But then the one who made the complain actually PRAISE herself in front of the boss. She the one who complain and now she taking all the credits herself. So selfish. It was so fustrating. So sad. This person always make people angry leh. How to tell her in a way which we do not hurt her feelings huh? Maybe at times she does not realise it. But her words sometime will HURT others!!!

Anyway, if you are that person whom I'm refering to, I hope you can understand.

My work life

It has been almost 9 months since I joined this new company. I think I had job hopped too much till people will ask me: " You still with the current company?"

Well, I had actually enjoyed my stay with the company. I felt a great sense of belonging there. So far, of course there are ups and downs. There are some complains about me from parents and colleagues. There are also some conflicts and misunderstandings as well. However, the working environment and the relationship with the kids has a great leap. I think the kids had known me better through these period and they had also get used to my way. Crazy, funny, fierce and strict Miss Keh.

I had attended a few of the company events since I joined. The first was the customer service training before I joined. Then the Teachers' Day Dinner in September. In November we had the family day, Viva La Familia and the K2 Graduation. December we had a Christmas cum New Year Party. On 17th March, we had the bowling tournament. Hehe, our centre won the first prize. Actually, the company is not bad. They provide transport for most of the events that was held.
We had all the fun when we are out from the centre. We'll see a different person in office and in the event held. I think this is environment that I wanted.

So for those friend who cares about me, this is my current state of mind lah.

Bowling

Sad sad sad...

After all the practising for the bowling, all my efforts are in vain. I thought I would score well in the bowling tournament but turn out (SO SAD) so low result. I think bowling had been one of the activity that I have more confident in (other than volleyball and badminton). But I guess that if I have more expectations, I will lose out more things.

Though my centre had won the first prize, I still feel bad about the whole incident. I had never got such a low score before. Is it that stress in me? Or is it that bad incident is getting more in me? Or am I just too over confident?

Ah Keh ah... You very troublesome leh. How???

SOCCER BALL

Sometimes, I feel that I'm a soccer ball being kicked around like nobody's business. People tell me go east, I need to do so. People tell me to go north, I must go also. Only people tell me to die, I ask them to shut up. Sianz!!! !@#$%^&*()_++=-!@~

People ah!!! Ah Keh also human leh. Please think about my feelings ok???

AIYOYO!!!

@!@~@$$%%^&^&*(())
All I think are all the "NICE" language!!!

Stay POSITIVE at work!!!

Hehe.... I have been telling myself to stay positive at work. Who knows there are too many incidents to make me sianz.

ONE!!!
All along there will be always a colleague who always likes to do the thing last minute. From young, we were taught to do things ahead of the deadline.
But this person is always doing last minute thing. Other colleagues and I will have to help this person to do their part last minute. And thus we will be way behind our deadline. Just that I really don't like the idea that someone’s' work is being pushed to you and you get all the blame when the things are not submit on time. Worse, if that person blame you for not having their idea in the things submitted. Aiyo. Sometimes very difficult to tell them directly. You have to care about their feelings lah, this and that also. But then thinking back, does that person cares about feelings of others. Here, I know I have to be nasty and upfront.

TWO!!!
There are times when people only takes care of their own group. When people of their own group comes, they will take EXTRA CARE!!! But to me, all are the same mah.
True enough there are people who are a bit long-winded, complaining and not easy to handle. However, we are still doing business and we have to look at things at a bigger picture.
Take the feedback and positively and see it as a challenge. Go for the extra mile sometimes will let your customer happy and grateful. It's all the mindset that all should have. There are 2 faces, head and tail, on a coin. It will always come back to the face value irregardless of what happened. It's the money that will come back to us.
However, if you mishandle the situation, the coin will start to look for a new master. I.E. THEY WILL GO TO OUR COMPETITORS!!! Just put ourselves in the customers' shoes and you will find that you would want the same thing as well.

THREE!!!
A bit sensitive....... So I will not say too much. Well, it's just the same customer service that we should have. Here, we were taught to accept and respect people who are different from you. We must be open-minded and look things at a bigger picture. We can just make small changes to accommodate to all people. We don't have to get angry over small things that makes the relationship sours and lose customers. Why not we just look at the big picture and make everyone happy. CHEERS!!!

FOUR!!!
This is in current job... I still remember that the other time when we brought the kids for excursion. I remember telling all my colleagues that we have to stick to the timing as we only had a short time going around. This colleague was so accommodating that almost every stop all of us have to wait. The colleagues from other centre were then all pulling long face and was quite upset that they might have to missed some stops. However, we have to make last minute changes and carry on with the slower group. All other groups were quite happy and the kids bragged about how much they had covered, the slower groups were a bit disappointed. I think sometimes when the kids complained to you, they are comparing already. Just hope that we really do as planned and plan what we are doing.

So I think after all these long long story, I still have to stay positive!!! AIYA!!!

Belated Valentine Gift???

Hehe, I received a VALENTINE DAY chocolate and flower on 14th March. But it has been exactly 1 month late. Or I got memory loss?
The card wrote:
" HAPPY VALENTINE DAY
(undersigned-Not to embarrassed the person, so don't mention names)
14th March 2007 "
A bit shocking. Is Valentine celebrated on February or March? If I'm not wrong, Valentine is celebrated on 14th February leh. People got so confused easily.

Hahahaha... .... .... I'm flattered, but the date wrong leh... ... So please set your alarm if you know you are forgetful.

Anyway, I ate the chocolate, planted the flower and returned the card to the person so that the person will send the chocolate and flowers promptly next year. Haha... ... ... I also received another box of chocolate from my centre. Sure need more exercise now .... . . . . . . . . .

Kids going siao already

My kids at SCC has been doing work since day 1 of school. I think they are all going "GAGA" already. They are all fed up with their school work and work at the centre. I think I'm also bad that I also bring them out for outdoor at times. I have been giving them crossword puzzles, word search and playing games as well.

I think I would sincerely want people from SCC to give inputs to the kids curiculum to make them occupied and less hyper.
