it was a date where nobody can forget... 12 May 2008..
an earthquake hits Sichuan province in china.. measuring 7.9..
after 9 days after this tremor, the number of dead and missing has been rising day after day..
it was recorded that 74,000 dead, 247,000 injured and countless missing..
many lost their homes, their loved ones..
children turned orphans over night.. parents seeing their children dead..
doctors, nurses, volunteers, rescue team have been working day and night.. they had lost their homes, children, loved ones too..
but none given up hope..
many feared another earthquake, and decided to leave home and lived in the open field in tents..
i had been catching up on the news of this disaster almost everyday..
in the midst of all the bad news, there were miracles too..
rescue team found survivors after being trapped under the rubble for more 100 hours..
however, as time passes by... hopes to discover survivors diminish as minutes went by..
i clearly remember a boy, he said "shu shu.. wo yao ke-le" (translated "uncle, i wan coke") after being carried out by the rescue team... a simple wish given him determination to pull through..
being a singaporean, i cant help to feel lucky and fortunate to be shield from natural disasters.. (for now still shielded, may not be in many years later)
cannot imagine what will happen if such hits our homeland.. it is beyond my imagination..
friends around me had been complaining how bad life is.. but think about it..
compared to those who faced natural disaster anytime of their life.. what can be worse.. and yet, no matter what happen, many of them struggled to live on
we got to learn how to be positive.. be contented with life.. not to take peace and safety for granted..
let's pray for the survivors from this tremor strength to live on..
let's pray for orphans strength to move on..
let's pray for aids to reach the victims..
let's pray for dead to rest in peace..
many thanks to chinese govt, rescue team from all over the world, volunteers, charitable organizations, medical organisation for helping them..

it's gonna be a long long long long post.. so bear with me and have some patience to read on.. ^_^
ever since i left fjb, my working life has been smooth sailing
workload manageable, with the usual peak and non-peak period
slowly finding myself getting used to such pace..
is this good or bad? will know the answer as time goes by..
Life is gonna be busy from now on..
series of activities lining up for me..
not sure in future if i can still update blog at this hour..
remembered few months back a tarot card reader told me that june this year will be the highlight of my 2008.. i will go through a series of changes in my life.. seems like is coming true! kudos to this tarot card reader...
updates on personal life
i failed to get yishun flat at the first attempt.. sigh! my q no. is like slightly more than 2x the flat availability...if those selected applicants give up their chance, i will be ballot again for it.. meanwhile, i need to keep a lookout for others and hope june will have good news on yishun flat.. cannot understand why govt make it so difficult for ppl to buy a flat.. it is like wait, wait, wait, and more waiting.. not sure if by time time i hit 30yrs old, will i be able to secure a flat..
collecting my rom dress this sat! so excited to try on the dress.. wonder if i look good in it. :D
i need to attend a first month baby celebration this sunday.. cousin just had a new born baby.. we had never seen his wife yet.. quite curious to find out how is she like.. the only thing i hate abt relatives' gathering is the questioning of aunties and uncles.. it's complicated! only my 2 sisters can understand..
5th & 6th june is our birthdays.. ^_^
11th june make a trip down to registry to submit documents for verification..
13th june mani and pedicure in the evening.. ah ling better remember to book, if not i m gonna scream at her!
16th june is rom date!
updates on work
more and more interviews to conduct for the next few weeks..
high turnover? nope! is for expansion purposes, so this is consider good
however, hiring managers take a long time to decide who they want to hire..
ended up by time i made the offer, candidates mostly had found a job..
and i had to conduct another round of interview.. sigh!
i need to find a Technical Service Engineer, Compressor Seal Technician, Compressor Seal Engineer, Quality Assurance Engineer, Quality Assurance Technician, Sales Engineer, Store Assistant.. if any of your friends or yourself is interested, pls drop me an email at sourger@hotmail.com
time to run payroll in the next few days.. this is the monthly routine and this means that payday is round the corner.. I love payday! $_$
need to conduct training on performance management towards the end of may.. first time conducting training in this company and it is also my first time conducting training for huge group of employees.. the biggest group i had handled is abt 25 pax... kinda nervous.. wonder what kind of questions they gonna shoot me with..
after 7 long months, i m finally "adopted".. my new boss, hr director, will be reporting on the 9th june.. yeah!! no more struggling alone anymore.. no more a lost child.. ^_^ i really hope he will be a nice guy, and takes care of me..
need to plan to travel to my south east asia offices in KL, Indonesia and Taiwan.. cannot tai-ji anymore.. business partner insist that i should drop by and take a look.. for those who know me well, taiwan is surely not a problem for me.. i am quite concern abt travelling to indonesia and KL.. i hope i can get my hr director to go with me, rather i travel alone.. i had never travelled alone for biz trips before..
