Corporate World

I used to wonder how life would be in the corporate world...will it be very stressful? will it be exciting? will it be demanding? will it be fun? If you want to have a feel of what it's like...imagine the following scenario:

You are assigned projects with no definite deadline...the projects may be arrowed by big big boss or direct boss...What is definite is that a presentation is required at any time, so better be prepared for last minute arrow to prepare the presentation of what you have been doing. While doing these projects, your time at work will be disrupted by countless meetings and planning for some of the corporate events.

You will hear lots of rumours daily on who resign, who get promoted, who get transferred, and many more corporate gossips...Then there will be occasional lectures from your direct supervisor advising you on what you should do to be able to climb the corporate ladder FAST! Sometimes you will be amazed at how other people are excited about your future, but not yourself...and how other people even plan on which position you should climb to in the next 3 years, 5 years, etc...Not to forget the tips on how to be recognized by the Management committee so that climbing that ladder can be expedited. People will compare you with others and will advise you on how you should behave during meetings...who you should imitate, etc...All for the sake of climbing the corporate ladder!

Your working hours will also be disrupted by countless trainings, either technical or non-technical, either conducted by external organisations or internally...All of them aim at developing you to be a more worthy individual!

Interesting, right? Thinking about the whole idea of climbing the corporate ladder can make you crazy at times...Life as a housewife, or even a tai-tai would sound better,haha...

Anyway, I'm not complaining...life has been much better and more balanced for me, especially with the RSGT gang as my source of entertainment and super nice colleagues to hang out with!

It feels good to be listening to the stories of a charming & wise middle-aged man over beers at CBD area...but the saddest thing is, "IT'S ONLY MONDAY!"

My good friend is having her wedding gown fitting session today...

I am at home with my laptop and surrounded by lots of papers, analyzing the faults in the Chilled water system and cracking my head on how i should approach the problems...Pathetic, right? :(
