Should I leave? Should I stay?

How will you react if your colleague told you he or she plan to resign? Will you asked him/her to go ahead or will you ask him/her to stay?

Normally I will not give any comment but I will asked about the new job. If the new job seems promising, then I don't see why he/she should not leave the company. But of cos, even if I think that new job is not good, I also will not say a word, cos it's his/her choice, right?

I think it is quite normal for colleagues to tell each other that they plan to resign, even they have not tender their resignation yet. To me, I feel telling me means they trust me, they trust that I will not go tell others such as the management.

But if a colleague asked question like "Do you think I should resign?" How will you react then? Seriously, I do not understand why ppl asked this kind of question, he/she is the one who needs to make the decision mar, how will others know? Erm.. I don't know.. ask him/her stay? ask him/her leave? I think I shall just ask him/her to figure this out himself/herself!! :p

Say goodbye to loneliness

David is my secondary school friend and I've known him for more than 10 years. I never see him going out for a date ever since he broke up with his ex girl friend 5 years ago. Recently during a gathering he told me he is dating a girl now. I am so happy for him and requested him to tell me all the details, for example how he get to know this girl, how they started dating, how this girl look like and etc.

David told me he is always busy with work and he got no time to go out to make new friends. He doesn't have much girl friends or girl colleagues around him too, that is why he hasn't been dating for the past 5 years. Few months ago, a friend of his introduces the passion search to him. His friend said it is a site where he can make lots of friends, male or female with different age and from different countries. Since signing up is free, he decided to try it out. Luckily he did try out, else he will miss the chance to know his current beautiful and intelligent girl friend.

He told me his life is so different now, previously it's all work and work and work but now, with his girl friend, he feels his life is so complete! I am really happy for him finding such a good girl friend. I did see he is now a more cheerful and happy person.

Can't park at this motorcycle place? No problem! I parked at ANOTHER motorcycle's place!!

Remember I blog about the owner which can afford an expensive car but not another parking lot? Well, it seems like a lot of people complaint to the management about this owner which constantly parked his small car at the motorcycle parking place. Few days ago, we saw the guard writing down his car plate number. So FL went over and talked to the guard, the guard told us they had warned him many many times, when he parked his cars at the visitors parking, they warned him, when he parked at other ppl's place, they've warned him again, then when he started to park at the motorcycle place, they warned him again! He told us this time he's gonna clamped his car!

I was happy to hear that. If everybody who owns a small car parked their car at the motorcycle place, then we don't need to buy car parks lor, it's so unfair to us (the owner of the car park) and it's so unfair for those motorcyclist too! Moreover, the way he parked is blocking the stairs!!

Anyway, this morning, I saw the motorcycle place is finally empty! I was happy for a minute and then I saw the familiar car again. Guess what? He parked at ANOTHER motorcycle place!! ^#$$#(*$(#*($%$%*$)*%$$% I don't know how the guard talked to this guy, maybe they told him not to park at this particular motorcycle place? that is why now he moved and parked at another motorcycle place?

~sigh...

It's time to invest

At a dinner gathering with my ex colleagues, someone started to talk about investments. There are many of us interested in investments as the bank currently offering low interest rates. A lot of us rather invest than save our money in the bank. There are all kinds of investments, some said invest in shares and unit trust, some said they invest their money in commodity and some said they had invest in gold bullion.

Among all the investments I heard, I have more interest in gold bullion investment. I felt it is much safer and more reliable as compared to other kind of investments. I think I will find out more about the gold investment.

108 good men!!

Every night before I sleep, I read. I started a new book few weeks ago, at first I found it quite interesting but recently I found it rather confusing. Why? Well, the book started to talk about a man, then half way talking about the man, it started to talk about a few other people. Then after that, another bunch of ppl appeared. I'm really getting confused as the book jumps here and there talking about different guy.

When I told FL about this, he laughed and said, don't you know there's 108 men (108 好汉) in this book!! OMG, that means there are 90+ more to come!!

Today is my first day to work after the long long CNY holidays. To me and most of my friends, we will say "aih..so fast holiday ends and we will need to go back to work", normal right? i believe 80% ppl also think the same like us lar...but to one of my colleague, it's the other way round.. she said to me this morning.. "FINALLY, the holiday ends and I can come back to work!!"...

hehe... anyway, i'm still having a bit cny mood (cny mood to me is sleep and eat and sleep and eat and do nothing...:p) but I believe I can get over it pretty soon. Before that, erm, when is the next holiday? :p

Drug problems? Not any more!

I've known Sandy and her family for years and we are quite close to each other. She only had a younger brother which she cares a lot. All these years Sandy had been moody and worried because her brother have some drug issues. Recently Sandy had become more cheerful and happy. When I asked her what happened, she told me she had finally found a drug treatment center that can really help her brother with his drug problems. I'm happy for her too.

A great place for honeymoon

Tom is getting married next month and he is now distributing his wedding invitation cards to us. We asked him where he will bring his future wife for honeymoon and he told us they will be going to the Adults Only Resort. Adults Only Resort? Where is the place? What is there to see?

According to him, they wanted a stress free honeymoon. They wanted a place where they can forget about their work, their everyday life and what they want is to enjoy themselves to the fullest. The resort is situated on secluded white-sand beaches on the Mexican Riviera Maya and the beach is just a few steps away from the room. Besides the amazing sea view, they will be able to pampered themselves with great food, milk baths, aromatic massages, hikes to local ruins, exploring Mayan cenotes, beach-side fitness classes and many many more. They are really looking forward for the honeymoon.

After hearing what he said, a lot of us also felt interested and hope to find out more about the place.
