My Lucky Charms

Tomorrow, February 3, is Chinese New Year. Well, I'm not Chinese but I collect stuffs. Some of these are figurines and crystals.

First of all, I was born in 1983. And that's a Water Pig. They say, we are fun and have an enlightening personality blessed with patience and understanding. I agree with this. And I am the type of person who cares to others so much to the point that I will just do anything for a friend in need.

Rose Quartz.. This is funny! I bought this from Singapore during a vacation for a souvenir. I read about this stone. A gemstone for LOVE!

Money Frog... I don't know why I bought this. I think was only curious what luck it would bring to me. I bought this from mall. And serves as a decoration in my room. **wink**

Crystal... My mom bought this in Singapore. They said it has healing properties and absorbs negative energies.

My Jade pendant... I love this! It never left me.. I mean, there are times that I thought I lost this one. When I searched for it, it just dropped. It stucked in my clothes.

These things are only symbols. It is how we deal and manage our life that is really important. We create our own destiny and luck.

Kung Hei Fat Choi to all Chinese out there!

Chilly Weekend

It is a chilly Friday... Early in the morning, I can hear the leaves and the wind blowing outside my window.. Well, it drizzled.. Lazy to got up... I wanna roll and cuddle with my pillow and continue with my sleep.

Nice to have a cup, i mean, a mug of coffee.. Having breakfast during a chilly morning makes me lazy to got up. hehehehehe

Love to stay at our terrace and feel that chilly breeze gently at my face. Hope tomorrow will be a better day. Not gloomy...

Reminiscing Singapore

While watching Discovery Channel, I scanned my laptop for some photos. I stumbled these pictures. And remembered my vacation in Singapore. Here are some of the photos that i like most. The cleanest,and highly sociable city I've ever been. Quite expensive city. But hey, got the most of everything! Shopping, food, parks and wildlife!

I've been to Singapore twice. Year 2004 and 2006. And hopefully have a vacation again and again. :]

Completed Staff Work

Well, you may wonder what gotten into me why this is my topic. I attended a seminar yesterday about Completed Staffwork. And I enjoyed and learned a lot from the workshop. Simple things may be complicated.

Completed staffwork is the total analysis and preparation of a task a person/team so that after their presentation of the solution all that remains to be done by the next level of management is to agree the action/solution proposed.

So what are the key steps?
>> being clear on what you're about to do
>> you should be addressing on a right person
>> if some points that are unclear, consult with those directly and indirectly involved
>> communicate in the right way
>> be brief and to the point
>> your boss and anyone else involved should be informed
>> you should follow up agreed points
>> you should meet customer's requriements
>> review what you did frequently

Just simple points to remember when at work.

Amazing Nature

I'm an avid fan of National Geographic Channel Asia. I really like how they took shots. I am amazed how they got their best shots. Two thumbs up for their professional photographers!! And so, here I am, inspired.. I am sharing some of my collections.

Spider... This one is really big from ordinary spider we saw in our backyard or attic. At first, I'm afraid to get near. But hey! what's the use of the zoom of the camera???? hehehehe

This snail really caught my attention! A snail gliding on a stem! Captured moment i guess!
