A Demoralising & Discouraging Truth

After 1yrs 8 with the company, this is the kind of fact I eventually face. Disappointing and upsetting.

I did not want to bring it up but as advised by several people I spoke to, I eventually brought it up to my boss and he did not do much about it. I am underpaid. It is a fact. Why deny? If I do not like working here, why should I bring it up? I might as well find a better job discreetly and leave. And trust you to be my boss when you did not fight for me when HR says that I am someone with no experience. And sorry that i got to whack you with my words which left you speechless because I totally cannot accept it.

What sparked me off was when HR commented that I should be considered as a fresh grad with no experience. How will you feel? After all these time and effort, your HR Manager tells you that your salary is only justifiable as a fresh grad with no experience. Demoralising and discouraging.

So can I say that I want to go back to merchandising dept since I have more experience in that area and not in advertising & promotions? Can i say that the company will pay me at a Junior Executive level and not a fresh grad? To summarise this, it is all an EXCUSE for the company to pay me lesser. F*** off! And trust you to say you will value your degree grads? You might as well say you value all your old and useless staff more.

You guys chose me for this new post. Then you pay me well for my to stay on to continue contributing. Don't humiliate me with peanuts pay and say that I have no experience.

I made up my mind after all these craps. Time & tide wait for no man. I shall say goodbye the moment I find a much better paying job. I shall not wait to stay and live with such humiliation.

Yacht Voyeur

"Every Voyage is marked by a beginning and a destination"

Super memorable, captivating, eye opening & relaxing ......

Before we embark on the journey, its firstly lunch @ Ippudo. The best of ramen I ever tasted in Singapore. Oozing eye yolk, super tasty soup, QQ Ramen & great tangy combi of Orange Juice+Choya

~craving for it now~

Jun recommended these great soaps from Soap Villa. Went to get it thereafter at the Thai Fair at Civic Plaza. Great stuff and cheap too. Amazing at how the soap turns into a lather for shampooing your hair.

And here we are finally for our adventure with Trillion Star

Keppel Bay @ Marina

Good service! Big trolley to bring our food stuffs on board the yacht by the friendly staff.

Itinerary for the night :

1) Lazarus Island

2) Songs of the Sea

3) Universal Studios fireworks

4) Round Sentosa Island coastline

Before we set off... a group pic!

Look how much everyone is enjoying themselves...

And how relaxed I am.... I really enjoyed it to the max.... I seriously don't know how to put it into words....

See how sweet and lovey dovey the bride and groom to be is.....

As the wind blows... Ivan's hair got all spiked up just as high as mine.. hahaha!!

More photos to share before my Olympus die on me...

And as the sun set.....

Here we are at Lazarus Island. It is actually just right opposite St. John's Island. Ryan our steward for this trip even tricked us to believe that there are KFC and Mac Donald's at Lazarus Island Funny and super crappy chap! However, I am amazed that he actually lives on the sea. He owns part of this yacht leisure business and stays on yacht every day. This is something that I really look up to him to and something that I wonder if I can adapt to despite that I yearn for such life; relaxation, calm, sea and sun.

Thereafter, my Olympus really died on me and no more pics. Anyway, we were are too busy with KTV on yacht, cutting birthday cake for Xueling, watching songs of the sea and fireworks from Universal Studios. ~WONDERS~

We ended the day with some heart to heart chats with each other, sharing about love life of one another and their experiences. I am silent most of the time as there isn't any much I want to share nor do I want to comment about. The sounds of the waves, sea breeze and the beautiful night view of Singapore has captivated me. I enjoy and really love such ambience. It was a calm and beautiful night after all. Caught one last shot of the beautiful condo before we disembark using my iphone.

Shall end this post with our group photos. I enjoy and cherish every moment with all of you, my best friends!!

Not to forget too... one very nice quote I saw at Keppel Bay's Concierge..

Thanks Trilion and special thanks to Ryan for making this trip such an enjoyable and fruitful one. I will definitely want to embark on such a voyage again.

Confess & or Reject

Not a single confession and yet it felt like I am being rejected a hundred times.

That's how I feel emotionally in the relationship part of my life now. It is very difficult to find someone that you feel will be your suitable life partner. It is even more difficult for this person to fall in love with you. Matters of the heart is just so complicated. Why the elder ones make it sound as if I can shop for a wife?

Ok.. back to work...

Just came back from my first ever business trip. Just 1 day, fly in the morning, return the same day at night. SHAG!!! It was even better than what I expect. There are just so many things ahead of me for me to explore and learn from. My concern is sill the salary. I really hope I am revised to what I expect.

Expectations theory don't apply in these aspects of life. When your expectations fall below what was delivered, you can't complain. You either walk out of that circle and continue to stay put and compromise. However, most of the time, I tend to seek for a better shelter. Will this be the ultimate best choice???
