Went to taka to check out the loots that i wanna get.. i thought i can get the portfolio that i wanted to get last mth. i budget about.. $150 for it.. but when i went to see the price...... it was $300+ and the montblanc one is like... $640... *faint*
this mth budget quite tight cause i need to settle all the overdue bills.. cause last few mths no income.. so i pay half on every bill every mth... so its snowballing.. so this mth must clear the balances so that i wont have any outstanding... u know la... first mth pay always very little one... so must wait until next mth then i can consider getting it lor...
then i went to montblanc to see the boheme bleu pen!! $570... that one is ok la.. cause i expected it.. i jus ask to see how much i need to save up ma... keke... i give myself 2-3 mths to save up and get it... :) i think about it for very long liao lei.. i think instead of jus dreaming to have one, i shud try my best to make them happen.. i dun wanna live my life jus hoping and imagining liao..
oh ya.. i went to T&C to check out that altas ring that i posted in my wish list... then when i saw it.. i was telling Alvin.. "eh, how come so narrow de?" cause the one i saw was pretty wide de... then the lady told me that... the wide one is discontinued!!!! my heart shatter liao... then i jus ask for the diamond one for fun... then she say its $5550.. faint... the narrow one is abt $1500.. so i concluded that.. T&C have to wait a while.. and maybe by the time i can afford to buy... its prob discontinued again.. hahaha...
so.. this mth.. i decided not to buy anything fancy for myself and jus settle all the bills with no more outstanding... then next mth will be more relax for us liao... i jus enjoy last time when we can clear everything every mth... so now that im working liao, im hoping that i can get the financial part on track asap.. :)

Invisible Stress
Work... so far so good... hmm.. i hope to be able to work by myself soon.. as in.. be independent and know my work asap... its been fun so far, i learn a lot of things along the way.. but its very tiring actually.. i knock off and work from home, then sleep late and wake up early.. so every weekend is my happiest days.. i get to sleep late and wake up late... actually its not really the work load... its because our system (data base) is limited to one user at a time.. so if someone is using the system, we will have to put a halt to whatever we are doing... given the fact that we have a few assignments on hand, its not adviced to get more assignements cause boss wants us to focus on the current project first... :(
with no way to get into the database, we cannot even look for the candidates, so dun even mention about the calling them part... this is the wasting time part... so everyone wait for each other like tat... so it lengthens the entire process...
Everyday i go to work feeling tired, everyday i get home almost dead liao... i have to pull thru 5 days to get that 2 days of long sleep.. then the cycle goes on and on...
So much of my job...
Now.. my personal progress... the korean course is fully booked and i have to wait for the next intake :( which is happening in Sept la.. so still alright... life still goes on for me... sometimes, i will still miss Julius la.. esp when i see everyone's children growing up day by day.. i remember one day, i knock off from work... then i was staring at the streets.. and i start thinking of last time.. i remember i was so eager to be a working mom and knocking off from work jus to see my baby.. i was already enjoying the feeling liao.. over the weekends, i will start thinking of how i used to be so excited how a working mom like me would try to accompany my son over the weekends and gg out for daddy for family outings...
yeah... some of these thoughts came into my mind and sometimes, it hurts la.. sometimes, i jus tell myself to stop thinking about it and move on...
Recently, i start thinking about my mom.. she keep complaining that her leg is pain... and naturally i start thinking about whats gonna happen if she cannot walk one day.. she is old liao.. and its natural thing that some things in her body start to break down... so.. what am i suppose to do? she stays alone.. and i might have to stay with her.. then how am i suppose to work? haizz.. its kinda worrying la...
Anyway, i cant wait to have a short break... but alvin say his sales not very good.. and since he came west mall.. he keep saying that month after month... i also dunno if i shud ask him to take leave.. cause if we getaway over weekend, means his gonna lugi a lot in his sales.. :(
These few weeks, keep thinking of having a place of my own... but i know i jus have to tahan for a few years la.. but... i really wan a quiet place.. at home.. im restricted la... small things sometimes will also become pretty troublesome.. haizz..
hope everything will straighten out soon..
btw, do visit the ads at the top of the site.. im paid for it.. :)

today, sis was gg thru my niece homework (Pri 4) and she passed to us to read.. and we had a good laugh...
The main causes that lead to disputes and unhappiness among residents...
(niece writes)
1. Playing Mahjong in the midnight
What can be done to resolve these problems?
(niece answers..)
1. being their friend
HAHAHAHA... First u hate ur neighbour for playing MJ... maybe cause they never jio u ma.. so u get to know them as friends.. so that they will jio u for MJ??? I wonder if this was what my niece was thinking.. hahaha.. anyway we had a good laff la... we didnt help her hor.. she think herself de
And i see the traits of myself on my niece... haha.. they way she gives instructions and commands her brother (my nephew) is so... ME... i m very strict and nasty to them.. and i realise that my niece is sounding like me.. but heng not the nasty part yet.. but the... demanding TONE... i notice them quite some time ago but as time goes by, she is getting more and more like me!
I asked Eamon (nephew): Didi, u dictation for spelling, u have to memorise right?
Eamon: No, teacher reads out to us
Me (turns to my niece): Jiayi, ur dictation is memorise one right?
Jiayi: Nods. (stares at eamon and say) Dictation is memorise one lor, dun you know?
And i used to nag at my niece and nephew...
Me: When's your spelling?
Niece: I dunno
Me: Its ur suty as a student to be attentive in class and responsible for urself, dun you know?
and both tones are similar..!! hahaa..
but i hope she learn to be more confident when she learns that kinda tone from me.. so she will have more confidence to present herself in oral or speech or presentation (show and tell)... but of coz, in a less commanding tone... hahahaha

Making My Life More Meaningful...
Had dinner with Francis, Elaine and Wee Lee yesterday.. its been a long time since i met my buddies... To be honest, the moment we were about to leave the place, i feel that its too short a meeting!! hahaha... we always meet up in the past.. and we are like best buddies la... really hope i have more time for them... Maybe we shud set a MJ session every end of the month or something... and also our monthly dinner every 2nd Friday of the month... Right Elaine??? kekeke.. so no matter how busy we were, our friendship stays strong...
Went with ah lao to Tampines One today... hmm... i wont say its a good to get all ur stuff.. and i wont say its a bad place.. hmm... its very generic theme lor... er... compare with Vivo perhaps, i would prefer Vivo.. but it was a nice trip with ah lao la... cause we never travelled so far to walk.. haha.. but like i mentioned.. we shud explore places that we never go before, do things that we never done before... then ur life would be eventful ma... so... thats why we decided to go there and check it out.. shun bian take 2 bags from one of the spree sellers... waited about 1 mth for it... kekeke...

I Gotta Bear With It
I happen to meet this HR from this MNC... and she is very demanding and only talk and dun listen... i have been struggling with her requirements for like... 1 week (including weekends).. all burnt because of her.. i cannot even rest when im home.. cause i have to work because of her again... jus as i thought i jus do my best and if cannot, then i jus give up and go to the next better one... she jus ask us for the rates and ready to sign the terms...!!! To be honest, im very superstitious about first deal.. cannot be too greedy, cannot be too picky (i mean myself).. i jus take whatever that comes, then the rest of my deals will be smooth too... kekeke... so im swallowing my anger... seriously.. i very pissed off...
i narrate the situation to be like.... buying a plate of chicken rice and wanting it to be duck flavour... and she is.... argh... she is the FIRST female customer that gives me attitude...
haizz.. jus do lor.. first deal.. need to break egg first...
Trying my very best...

Too many things, too little time
either im slow or im not picking up fast... there are so so so many things to do.. and all the jobs are time consuming...
every night after work (at home).. i will consolidate all the leads i need to cold call for the next day...
then once i go work the next morning, i gotta do cold call... the find candidates to fit into the position... and to be honest, candidates are not a spare part or some dead things... they are all alive.. and they come in different shapes and sizes (i mean, different exp and edu background).. i cant fit 100% into the position but at least a 75%.. AT LEAST... u think its easy? nah... some looks very good on paper.. but when u call them.. u realise that they are better off in other things...
then if there are not enuff candidates, i have to search thru data base one by one... thats the sibei time consuming part... u read, u call and then u have to fit...
after that u send the profiles to ur client and wait for feedback.. meanwhile, u gotta review all the resumes that are piling up in ur inbox... everyone may be a slight hope to me.. someone in there must be the one im lookin for... argh...
u know... i have been spending time after work, at home doing my office work... and i gotta go to bed by 1130pm (latest).. i try to sleep by 1030pm... but i always allocate 1 hr to FB.. hahaha... nope, i cant seem to kick that habit.. i still got shopping sprees to read... (nope, cant skip that either... if i read on weekends, i might miss my favourite SPREE!!) hahaha... this is my only entertainment after work ok??
by the time i finish my office work, its like... 9-ish to 10 liao... i gotta shower.. laze arnd, surf arnd.. then i must sleep... everyday, even after work is so so rush for me lei.. so so rush... im appreciating Fridays MORE and MORE...
yay!! monday, my new colleague will be in liao.. i hope i wont feel so lonely...
and i MUST get the time management right... i mean, i know that everything i do is so time consuming, but theres gotta be a way la...
i cant set from wat time to wat time do what thing.. i must set a target.. like.. everyday review how many resumes, how many profiles sent, how many positions opened, how many prospects contacted... if i set by time, i cannot hit my target for SURE. cause every task IS TIME CONSUMING....
oh ya... anyone got lobang on food industry listing?? Mfg of food, anything connected to food... i need a listing.. i have tons of candidates in this industry.. and i need to make good use of what i have...
plus, i realise that i have tons of friends in IT.. and good mgmt level in IT.. i feel that they jus need a good place to rest in.. and they will excel... but luck is not by their side...
FIGHTING!!!
every night after work (at home).. i will consolidate all the leads i need to cold call for the next day...
then once i go work the next morning, i gotta do cold call... the find candidates to fit into the position... and to be honest, candidates are not a spare part or some dead things... they are all alive.. and they come in different shapes and sizes (i mean, different exp and edu background).. i cant fit 100% into the position but at least a 75%.. AT LEAST... u think its easy? nah... some looks very good on paper.. but when u call them.. u realise that they are better off in other things...
then if there are not enuff candidates, i have to search thru data base one by one... thats the sibei time consuming part... u read, u call and then u have to fit...
after that u send the profiles to ur client and wait for feedback.. meanwhile, u gotta review all the resumes that are piling up in ur inbox... everyone may be a slight hope to me.. someone in there must be the one im lookin for... argh...
u know... i have been spending time after work, at home doing my office work... and i gotta go to bed by 1130pm (latest).. i try to sleep by 1030pm... but i always allocate 1 hr to FB.. hahaha... nope, i cant seem to kick that habit.. i still got shopping sprees to read... (nope, cant skip that either... if i read on weekends, i might miss my favourite SPREE!!) hahaha... this is my only entertainment after work ok??
by the time i finish my office work, its like... 9-ish to 10 liao... i gotta shower.. laze arnd, surf arnd.. then i must sleep... everyday, even after work is so so rush for me lei.. so so rush... im appreciating Fridays MORE and MORE...
yay!! monday, my new colleague will be in liao.. i hope i wont feel so lonely...
and i MUST get the time management right... i mean, i know that everything i do is so time consuming, but theres gotta be a way la...
i cant set from wat time to wat time do what thing.. i must set a target.. like.. everyday review how many resumes, how many profiles sent, how many positions opened, how many prospects contacted... if i set by time, i cannot hit my target for SURE. cause every task IS TIME CONSUMING....
oh ya... anyone got lobang on food industry listing?? Mfg of food, anything connected to food... i need a listing.. i have tons of candidates in this industry.. and i need to make good use of what i have...
plus, i realise that i have tons of friends in IT.. and good mgmt level in IT.. i feel that they jus need a good place to rest in.. and they will excel... but luck is not by their side...
FIGHTING!!!

almost knocking off.. another colleague said (in front of boss again)... "dun come tmr la..." then i jokingly say, "u scared i spread to u ah?" then she say.. "dun test our immune system"
i wanted to go work today... but after thinking of all the things that were said... i told my boss that... i wanted to come... but... i scared if next few days someone were to fall sick.. then everyone will start blaming each other... so i might as well not come.. i dun wanna be a hero lor..

Tiring but Fun
Work is happy for me everyday... thou pretty hard to learn by myself.. but im catching up... fell sick.. haha i tot im having H1N1 wor! hahaha.. heng choy.. jus normal flu and cough...
Im start to get the hang of reading resumes.. which i feel that reading resumes needs a lot of skills.. u need to make sure that the candidate fits to ur position/requirements perfectly... cannot short of this or short of that... when we ask clients for requirements, we have to be damn detail...
not easy to be a hunter... the difference in terms of work compared to a recruiter... hmmm.. recruiter jus submit whatever they can find similar to the requirements... but we make sure that the candidate fit perfectly or at least 80% - 90%... and that person has good records so that s/he wont job hop or fail to complete task or.. working quality is not up to standard...
we must also make sure that they genuinely are sincere of changing... cause if they are not.. the rate of dropping out is very high...
not easy to find good candidates... everything is not easy la... stress is stress.. cause i dunno which one to prioritise and which way to go.. but im slowly getting the clearer picture....
yawns...
i have to sleep by 1130 today and make sure i wake up in time.. keke... jus took medicine... im on 2 days mc but i need to work to catch up and learn fast....
oh ya... if u guys are looking for jobs... email me ok? er... drop me a msg on the tagboard.. i let u know how to contact me.. :)

So many things to do...
Suppose to complete a list of candidates for my client by tomorrow for the tuesday appointment. Then i have to start doing the summary of not more than one page report about what i have learnt over the past 8 days at work. Appointment on tuesdays at 10.30am, i will cold call some clients and do a phone interview with some candidates. Fix appointments for next week so that my new colleague can join us for my first cold appointment... :) Thats my job for the week! Starting to get exciting! Im loving it....
Hmm.. everything's ok for me... 杀人放火金腰带,修桥补路无尸骸.. sometimes this is the way of life but i think the rest of us should learn to open our eyes... dun pretend to imagine that things are alright and forget about things that might have happened... at least for me, i have never forgotten and i know i cannot forgive this person. everyone know that i seldom "mark" someone till the end... i never hated anyone or hold gruges.. but... this one person... i will not forget how he cut the rope.
anyway! happy week ahead.. happy things... (except the lunch part) hahaha... but for another week only... then new colleague is joining us... i feel that she is our kind of pple.. i think god is starting to shower me with tons of blessings... i will treasure and i will hold on to this blessings... of coz at work is good, at home also must be good... so i hope bb can come along the way.. hopefully deliver a healthy bb next year... so this year we must work hard... but take it easy, we cant jus hope and not work hard and things will happen... if we want things to happen, we have to have an open heart and work hard to make it happen right? :)
I hope this marks the beginning of the happiest and most fortunate days in my life. The sorrows have ended and god will bless me always... :)
im planning to my holiday in december!! cruise with alvin!!! :) why december? cause CEO say... there are 3 phrases as a headhunter... 6 mths, 3 years and forever... once i cross 6 mths, there is a high possibility that i can hit 3 years and once i hit 3 years.. being a hunter will be my life long career.
i hope this will be the last profession i will be in... cause im loving every minute as a hunter.

Day 2 as a hunter
mRushed to work and heng i wasnt late... i ta bao a puff from coffee bean and cheong upstairs.. and i realise that im the first in the office... jus as i thought i can IDO...my boss came in.. haha.. ask me to the room and teach me how to specify the type of sales pple my client requires.. so as to
1. understand what kinda candidate i shud be looking at
2. knowing the position held in the coy
3. helping the candidates to understand more so that they wont choose the wrong job
now then i realise how much i can learn from this job.. the knowledge that every working person is hoping to know.. esp those job seekers... from 2 days of exp... i only can say...
1. do a neat resume
2. sell urself in the resume
3. attract me when ur resume (not with ur pic)
4. tell me what u have done in ur career
im loving the job.. i yearn to go work everyday so that i can quickly pick up all the things i gotta learn and be a real profession head hunter... i envy my seniors.. they seem to have all the knowledge at their finger tips... they schedule candidates, look for positions, seek opportunities.. and reaping what they sow for the past few years... now, their biz rolls in naturally..
but i tell myself, as a hunter, i want to open new accounts constantly and generate sales from both sides and retaining customers.. and this is what i always wanted to do... retaining my clients and make them a auto sale for myself...
im very happy i got this job.. am thankful that my ceo didnt look down on me because of my qualifications and accepted me... my colleagues are working for a long long time with my ceo.. most of them worked with him for a decade. that goes to show that his a good boss...
im having lunch alone everyday for an hour.. this is the only part im not used to... :(
but overall.. its more positive than negative la... im slowly getting used to the coy... and im sure.. one day, the office will be damn noisy because of me.. hahhahahaha.. i cannot dun talk.. i will die... im a sales person... if i dun talk.. i might as well die... and its been like that for 2 days... my colleagues dun talk internally too..!! all of them jus do their work..
dun start imagining that my office is like other recruitment agencies... there aint visitors or 10 chairs with job seekers waiting for their turn to be interviewed.. nope. thats not the case... pple who walk in for the interview are all professionally dressed, and when u see them, u know they are potential and good candidates...
because my seniors are all old birds in this industry.. add up the handful of colleagues... they have a total of 61 years of experience... imagine how much i can learn from them.. and they are not selfish! :)
now, i jus have to self study.. go borders, library over the weekends to borrow HRM books... know abt what kinda pple i shud be seeing, what is the hot catch in the mkt... learn learn learn
im loving the job.. and for the first time.. i dun go office because i wanna have fun with my colleagues... despite the boring lunch and the solo smoke breaks... im finally gg to work because i love my JOB! and i wanna succeed and be someone in this industry.
i know i got a lot of work to do to be that "someone"... but i will go all out to achieve that... learn learn learn... i tell myself.. everyday i go to work, i have to be a sponge... soon, i will learn to apply what i understand.. improve and excel.
Pray hard that i do well, pray hard that there will be 2 lines the next time.
kekekekeke...
