Apple = Doctor?

Recently I am very health conscious after I have been through so many incidents. Health problem does not happen to the elders but also attacking the younger generation nowadays. It is imperative for us to monitor our health status and thus Epocrates is offering the free medical blog widget for easy access to medical library.

With the widget, patients are given an open channel to reach doctor and seek advice, treatments, and guides easily. The company also recently launched a free drug reference for BlackBerry devices. For iPhone or iPod touch users are even better as Epocrates is working with Apple to develop a downloadable drug guide the devices.

I am one of the iPhone user and I can’t wait for that too!

“This announcement was paid for by Epocrates.”

As a result…

The 3 days workshop has finally over. My boss has flight back to HK and going to start his holiday for 2 weeks. As much as I would like to happy but I couldn’t because the works we discussed in the workshop have stacked up over my head.

I just sent out the meeting minutes hours ago. Timeline has been given, tasks have been assigned, and shits gotta bear by us. What a job, no choice but to eat all of them. Who asked I accepted this challenge and it is time for me to pay off what people had paid me to do.

As a result, although boss is not around but it doesn’t mean I can have a good rest. It is just a start of the series of shits fight. Haha…

Sick Again

The illness started since last week. I think it was due the combination of few reasons: Infected, stress, not enough sleeps, trembling heart, exciting, pressure etc.

However it has been successfully suppressed during the 3 days workshop as my super doctor has given me the incredible medicines. Somehow it only keeps me for 3 days and today, I am down and doctor gave me 2 days MC because he needs me to rest, fully.

It was just 3 weeks plus since I started work and I am already in 2 days MC. I doubt my boss is going to look at me with colored glasses when I back to work. Well, who cares?

Workshop

It is no longer an alien term for me. Back to the old days I always envy the management level that flew around participating or organizing workshop. For me it seems like they are having fun gather around in a room and skip work.

It depends, some might like what I said, but some might not. In my previous jobs the management always has this workshop once a quarter. Normally it last for a week and they often have free foods and nice hotel room.

But it seems the total different when it is my turn to have it in this company. Well, apart from having nice food, but it is not as fun as what they have. More works, more assignment and more shits. As a conclusion, I hate it. I don’t wish to have another one, no matter where they organize it, but I don’t mind to have it if I am in another company.

What I Up for?

I don’t know. It is the question that often appears in my mind since I was young. But as my age getting older and changing of status made me have different point of view towards this question.

Back to I was fresh while I first step into the society. My dream was to climb the corporate ladder for high pay, high position and as a decision maker. My dream still persists, but as I have the taste on the path it makes me wonder if this is really what I am aiming for.

Choosing this job had me dwell into a lot of thinking. Not only thinking about the career but also choosing the path for the rest of my life. I admit that I am a coward and this is the very safe path to ensure I am financially stable. In return I am drifting further from the inner me who always dreaming otherwise. Who am I, and what am I up for? I am getting lost…

Beaujob

My cousin sister just graduated from US. Although she is Mass Comm grads but she is more interesting in working for beauty industry. In order to help her to pursue her dreams, I have introduced the BeautyJobs Beauty Industry Job Placement Website for her. As stated in the name itself BeautyJobs is a job placement website for interested applicants to apply beauty job from Beauty Industry.

BeautyJobs recently launched a brand-new online job search engine. Job seekers can now find better match of their experience like beauty, salon, spa, or cosmetology jobs. Most importantly this service is free of charge. Although my cousin has not found a job but I have confident on her especially with the help from such efficient portal. Here I wish her happy job hunting!

Deadly Stress

I had this feeling when I joined the hell company before. Luckily this feeling is reducing as days passing by. However I couldn’t be sure if it will come back. I believe it just the matter of time. Today is the 4th day I joined. First few days were deadly stress because of few incidents. Perhaps I am too sensitive and rush. Somehow my worry may not be wrong. Hopefully it is wrong.

Depress with the improper handover. Shoot an email to her but it makes the situation got worse. Lucky today we spoke and she seems fine. However I think the thorn will be there forever. Worse of all, she will be my audience in coming future. Hope the coming days has fewer obstacles…

Old and New

It was a very familiar place for me as I had spent my first 4 years in this company. It was my first job and I met most of the wonderful people there. However, other than the place, there is nothing more left to my memory – ie the new role, new team member, new manager, new offices, new faces (90%) and I feel like working in a brand new company instead of going back.

Honestly, I hate when some of them greet me ‘welcome home’. Well, I’m ok to be back but that doesn’t means it’s my home. I left the company for 3 years and I believe I will leave again. Haha... Why? Because I had found a better place and I have promise myself that one day I will go back again. Wait and see. Haha…

Change my Investment

The share price is dropping again. My investment fund seems hopeless as the gap is too huge for the Return on Investment. I strongly believe this is due to my lack of experience and careless customer service from the broker. The best is, I don't even know if my agent is still working there. Well, instead of waiting the fund to rise again, I might as well withdraw it and invest for gold coin.

I believe by investing through Monaco Rare Coin, my ROI may have a better chance to gain back all my money instead of keep loosing it. I trust Monaco Rare Coin because they are a trusted leader in precious metals investments for nearly 40 years. The Monex companies have helped many investors with proven records. I seriously hope that they can help me too...

Unacceptable 3 Days

Traveling is supposing to be joyful. However this trip is the opposite, due to the incident happened earlier. When I visit him it was the 3rd week he is in coma. The situation is not good, and the feeling is indescribable comparing if you just heard from others. Although I didn’t help much (in fact I thought I created more troubles indeed) but I’m glad that I make the decision of paying him a visit.

My first eye landing on him was a shock for me. It is hard to believe a person that is walking weeks ago become total paralyze on the bed without conscious. I hope I can wake him but I rather hope that she could hear him. Waiting is suffering. It is heart aching to see and hear the people surrounding suffering more. But what can we do? We did whatever we could. I think the only option left is waiting. Patient is the key and I believe in him no matter what will happen later.

I Miss…

25 June 2008. I left the work place that I had the happiest memories, so far. Reason of leaving is none other than 2 things – money and prospect. I am not saying I earning big buck but for me it is attractive enough to make me leave the happy place.

Just for my memory, I left a blog with the following post in the company:

This is not the end…
This is not something to proud of but it is just funny to see that close to 90% of you didn't believe that I am leaving the company, especially when I am reemphasized the truth. If I take it positively, I think this is due to the impression of my good reputation, and highly satisfaction with the company that projected to you guys. Somehow I think the truth is I joke too much nonsense until I lost all your trusts. Haha…

However either way is good for me because at least I know that I am someone worth you to remember with. Thanks for having me in your heart and thanks for all the farewell lunches you spent me too. If possible I would love to name all of you in my thank you list but each of you is significant important to me. As such I would like to wish you a great success in near future, especially for those who is joining T-System, EDS and AT&T, I wish you all the best for departing your new journey.

Before I drop a final note, please take this blog as the opportunity for you to start one also. Although I misused this as some kind of last letter but you may create one with the intention of knowledge retention. Anyway when you see this post, most probably I have no access to this blog or might even left the company. Anyhow, I am not totally disappeared from you because I am still around (ie. Facebook) and can be contacted through some people’s profile.

Last note. Please don't take this as goodbye. You don’t see me in the same office this year doesn't means you wont see me by next year. Who knows? Haha… Take care and bye for now.
