Besides falling in love, and getting into a relationship.
Another important part of life, that is to learn to love what you are doing- YOUR JOB.
Something that will not be easily developed, nurtured, maintained or even sustained.
After so much hiccups in work last year, I’m finally settled down with a place for a better future career, or broader path for me to move on in near future.
I’m learning to love, and cheerish the opportunity given to me. Nevertheless, to learn not to compare with others or previous jobs.
Hoping for the best for myself and work smart 
When you come across a bad day at work always remind yourself, there are always someone have even more terrible day than yours.
Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to radio station 103.5 FM in Indiana, who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest.
Hi Sue,
Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother.
Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you’ve been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it’s not so bad after all. Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It’s a wet suit. This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air hose.
Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I’ve used it several times with no complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wet suit..
This floods my whole suit with warm water. It’s like working in a Jacuzzi. Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it.
This only made things worse. Within a few seconds my ass started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened. The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. Now, since I don’t have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn’t stick to it, however, the crack of my ass was not as fortunate.
When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my ass.
I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five other divers, were all laughing hysterically.. Needless to say, I aborted the dive.
I was instructed to make three agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression. When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet. As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber.
The cream put the fire out, but I couldn’t shit for two days because my ass was swollen shut.
So, next time you’re having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your ass. Now repeat to yourself, ‘I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.’
Whenever you have a bad day, ask yourself, is this a jellyfish bad day?
May you NEVER have a jellyfish bad day! !!!!
Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift. ~

2012, Valentines Day was celerabted with Dwayne
Celebrated this season erarlier to avoid sandwich with the crowd, and making sure to get the food is also up to standard.
A new place that I’ve yet been before, or even heard before.
The Tamarind Spring Restaurant.
It was next to nature, quiet and romantic decoration.
Instead of the ordinary western, italian Valentines Dinner,
we had Thai Food
I find this restaurant unique is whereby they had two sections seving different cuisine.
The main section serve- IndoChinses Cuisine, while the other serve Thai, Malay and even Italian at the same time at one go.
Pick your choice that suites you and your partner tastebud.
As you walked in the restaurant, you are welcome to scroll along with lighted candles that actually create the dining atmosphere. Oh I just came to know that he knows to be romantic as well.
It is lightly dimmed throughout the whole restaurant, while seating next to nature and enjoy the breeze feels so good.
Be sure to pick a cooling day, as it is not equipped with air-conditioner
A 10 month old relationship with him, still growing and understanding each other but things are working out great.
Happy Valentines Day!
XOXO
Just got back from my long awaited trip- sister’s ROM plus meeting up with Ying Roe.
Was super awesome, i would definitely say, and wish the trip was pro-long.
The trip was not only that i guess, I also took it as another test towards my current relationship.
It was the first time we were not seeing each other for sucha long time, furthermore, we didnt call each other too. Just a couple of message a day due to the different time zone. things seems to fine after im back.
Glad it is in this manner too 
everything is pretty fine, just that at times i find him a lil too flirtty. Well, other than that, i hope it is fine.
work, i think this must have been my horrible year at work.
was a total mess when come to work, i never seems to find a place to make myself feel belong.
Not that Naga didnt make me feel comfy, but there is just this something missing in it.
it was great to have supportive and super understanding bosses.:)
I guess, it was just all about the account that I was servicing put me off at that very moment,
and at the point of time, gotten a new offer. gosh!
spur of the moment, took and left!
guess, i cant turn back time now and have learnt my lesson to think well.
people and working environment is the utmost important criterias to me now.
as you spend hours and hours at work, its good to have nice working buddy!
we shall see where this leads me then!
that all for now, and im enjoying have him being part of mylife,
thou at times, i think too much!
I just dont know what should I do at this point of time,
was I really pushy over the phone call earlier? did I just worsen the situation?
oh dear…
This week, I turn a month old in Naga DDB.
Oh well, it wasn’t a smooth sailing journey.
Instead, i experience tsunami here, just in time with Sendai.
The wave just swap me off for the whole week,
it was so strong that I needed so much determination to walk through.
I never knew working life would be like this,
the people around would just take opportunity of you when you’re new,
they put you into all shits and make you do everything underneath the sky just when your boss is on leave.
As if i was literally free doing my pedicure and manicure at work.
of course I was not, I was pile with follow up and day to day tasks.
I guess, I finally understand the grass is always greener on the other side.
I’m missing my comfort zone badly, and adjusting to this new environment.
I need time, more time as I tend to compare from my previous job.
I wouldn’t say its a bad place to be. But, not a place I would wanna stay long.
giving myself sometime here, and will leave when the time to comes.
a total shock, culture shock.
still learning and adapting to the new place just like a little kid entering pre-school.
just that I no longer teared
it was a big swap from Voir to Naga DDB. the new place I’ve decided to embarked on my working life.
the very basic- environment, the people, the team, the expectations- sky high!
I don’t know if I can even achieve any of them.
I’ve started to doubt my own capabilities and abilities.
I came to realize there is so much room of improvement for me to further strive and shape myself!
Nevertheless, I will try my very best
It’s just the beginning of another path I’ve chosen to walk on.
It a tough entry into this company, thus I have to have faith myself to walk through.
Prolly, a tougher person i would soon to be!
stay tuned!
the letter that comes with a mix feelings,
it was my first attempt of doing so,
it was tough, and my hands felt rather heavy at that point,
i took a deep breath and pull it out gently from my folder and put it on his table.
“daniel, this is my resignation letter”
the silent moment begun, it only usually occur when i made a mistake.
this time round, i gave him and unexpected disappointment and he was in total shocked.
perhaps, the letter wasn’t expected anytime soon to arrive on his desk this time round.
after awhile, the long serious conversation started and he finally opens my letter upon accepting it.
another leap to another new place really soon!
while cheerishing the days left.
can’t wait to step into a whole new world.
I was introduce to this magazine by my manager last year, which I like it alot.
The magazine shares alot of current on going campaign done by various ad agencies.
just had the chance to browse through their website, you could actually subscribe them for free to be sent to your company doorstep! i didnt know till today!
its a monthly magazine name: advertising + marketing
browse through the website of www.marketing-interactive.com
Happy New Year !!!
It’s again another year gone, and heaps of new excitements for the year of 2011!
There are a few things that I personally would like to achieve :
(a) Work smart and not hard only
(b) Healthy lifestyle- eat well, sleep well
(c) Travel
(d) Spend less, so probably should get people to spend me more! opppss…
(e) be more polite
Whatever that comes by, hoping it for the best!
xoxo,
