CNY Goodies Coming

Thanks to CNY and some celebration, our office has been receiving lots of food and goodies. On Monday, we had curry chicken, a four season cake plus "Fei Cui" carrot cake. Beside that, we also had pineapple tarts and almond cookies. I was freaking full by dinner time. However, i still managed to gobble down the dinner i brought from home. ha...

Today, we had more goodies. There were love letters, potato chips, chocolates and even herbal cake. Wow. The herbal cake that came from Intercontinental Hotel was erm... not very nice. The cake taste very funny. I ate a small piece and it taste sweet and bitter. Wat a wierd combination the baker came up with. I heard it will increase male potency. Not sure if it is true or just a gimmick. ha....

A new colleague reported to work too. Well, i became his mentor for the day. STRESS! Showed him ard while i still need to work on my assignment. I almost couldnt finish my work on time. I was like peeing in my pants liao. ha.. The pressure became stronger when the deadline is almost up. Phew, i manage to finish on time, guess i am blessed. ha....

Went to the gym this morning before i head to work. It has been a very long time since i last went to the gym on a work day. I was kinda lazy to wake up earlier. hee. Well, i only visited the gym once last week, i promise myself to work harder this week. Vivocity PF is good. Not very crowded in the late morning. That means I can have a good time working out.

Was on msn with Kaz a few times. We discussed about job switching. I realised he is going thru the same phase that i went thru. Underpaid! I believe that got to do with the nature of the industry. In this industry that we worked in, pay always come second. If we want to earn big bucks, its either we switch field or do more moonlighting.

After trying so hard to change another job, i failed from to time. One of the reason being i was highly paid. That is so ridiculous! I am not highly paid at all. If i am, i wouldnt want to change job. From some feedback i got, I think these employers are being mean. They expect experienced workers like us to do a pay cut and at the same time produce high quality work.

Morale of the story: If you want to hire an experience staff, then be prepared to pay more. Dun tell me abt not having sufficient budget to match our pay. RIDICULOUS! At the end of the day, they will hire fresh graduates or better still hire pple who are willing to accept pay cut. Argh... I am so pissed lor. I have decided to take a short break before embarking on another round in search for greener pasture.
