i forgot where i saw this before, but i have to say this:

a bad conversation is like bad sex - stale, cursory and dry (HAHA)

sure, practise could bring you somewhere but really, some people are just innate conversationalists (and that includes great listeners). everyone has a role to play - the listener, the speaker, the jester, the jested, the PR person, etc. and the bad conversationalist just sticks out like chewbacca amongst a sea of botak army boys. strange analogy, but you get the drift.

eeks to bad conversations, spare me before i whip out my royal mandate to axe you with my invincible fu3 tou2.

1. cc skye! hollywood's fav. and its in teal + gold!!
2. cute! but would be nice in gold and white. hoho yes, im partial to gold.
3. frey wille enamel bracelet /spasms wildly.

the asian work culture

as an individual brought up an in relatively bi-cultural manner throughout my entire life, the asian work culture baffles me alot, in many instances.

tell me, what is deference to a singaporean?

sure, we are so competent when it comes to rattling off the "right" definitions, doing the "right" things, acting the "right" way. yet, do we really know what that means?

its like a circus act really, all so when senior management comes down for a simple visit. an affront to the senior management's intellect and direct lampoon of what many of us think is deference - the RSM runs helter skelter, with such woe in her eyes, all over the shop floor snapping at everyone (the lowest life form), nit-picking, curtly ordering us around (i refuse to acknowledge it as legitimate delegation of work). yes, i am only a pathetic promoter, but aren't all humans made of a same mold, like the Bible says?

strange, she only starts to kan chiong when authority is near - what a farce.

ian (my prof) was so damn right when he said the work culture in singapore is bloody stifling when intrusive supervision is the norm.

deference is not fear, its respect. and may i add, its earned, not coerced or conditioned.

ps: unfortunately, i cannot put down the name of the organisation which im part-timing at, in case i get involved in a lawsuit. or more seriously, a catfight with this abominable female RSM. haha. /meow. shows cat claws.

but from the bottom of my heart, if i really get to work in this organisation (since ive applied for a position there), i sincerely wish one day when im at the management level, i get to change this. this feigned deference is really very irrational.

yes, idealistic i know but im sure He will help me out with this.

the fucking drilling next door (distance approximately 2.5-3 metres next to my house) is making my blood boil.

really, i think i will evaporate soon if they continue anymore.

this whole puerile competition for the new, newer and newest.

facades.

we all love them, huh.

i like to tumble and tuck myself in the pockets of shades of gray.

absolutes unnerve me. because they discomfit this system of thinking that i am most accustomed to.

so does the cold weather, on a lighter note. haha.

farking hate cleaning up citations - URGH!!!

using the social-occupational hierarchy as an analogy, its worse than a toilet cleaners job. especially when its a report worth almost one year of work.

fark.

im not dead! will be blogging sporadically to assert my existence till the exam period - which renders me very free somehow (strange, isnt it).

anyways, heres me and my new (actually not that new already) haircut:

ignore the expression please, it was earrrrly in the morning, dint comb my hair and i was grouchy to take pictures. and its the only clear picture of my new haircut. haha
