So I was given the instruction to buy the Birthday Cake and pass it over to the restaurant manager by my sister-in-law. We all enjoyed our dinner, food was good, the right ambience for a sweet brithday treat for my mother and my brother’s mother-in-law.

We requested for the cake to be brought out. We were just shocked how the cake was presented to us. The cake is still in the box and the box is in the plasic bag. How silly can this be? Shouldn’t the cake be presented on a plate? Bad presentation by the management.

So if you areare planning for a birthday treat and you want to have a cake, this place is definitely a No No. Staffs are not intelligent enough to create that special environment for a birthday party. Their food is still good by the way.

Operations procedure for shipping line is no easy task. I am starting to feel like an old lecturer giving a long talk to a bunch of young kids who are falling asleep. Good thing the manager is there to correct my presentation….hehe.

So now I am thinking to myself, will I ever be able to lecture a large group and not fall asleep myself during lecture. Hats off to out teachers and lecturers trying to educate us when we are falling asleep in class…hehe..

Now I am trying to find help to give a good presentation so no one sleeps when I talk, is there any good method that someone can share with me??

Biggest crime one can commit, is saying something without having any bad motive and someone else react to what we say in a negative manner.You will be sitting down alone and wonder what did you say that has offended this person so much to throw a harsh comment at you. That’s when you will realise that what you have said in the most casual and innocent manner is accepted by someone as something extremely offensive.

What can someone do in this situation? Best cure is always to apologise and remember the golden rule. “Shut up, mind your own business and speak only when you are spoken to.” This is an extremely useful mantra in forging good relationships with people.

 Of course this doesn’t mean that we can’t stand up for justice at the most critical moments in our life. We should take more precaution and test water before jumping into it and getting ourselves into a whole lot of trouble. A lesson that should be remembered for as long as I can. Hope I don’t get into the same problem again……. praying hard…….

If you want to create phone themes (this apply only for Sony Ericsson’s models) with your own pictures, you will need to download the software.

The link above will guide you to create your own dream themes. I’ve made 2 so far. So hope you will enjoy making your own theme too.

Took advantage of the call and went down for the makeover. Sad part, after all that photos taken, I am allowed only to take home 2 photos home for free. Wish I had the money to pay for the balance photos to bring home.

Something I learnt from my make-over experience. You get more attention with a good picture and proper make-up. Maybe it may be useful even for a job application.

My office had decided to have a fire prevention presentation and had brought in experts to do a demonstration to teach the staffs on what to do should there be fire. We had a Male presenter to talk about fire and safety issues. At the end of the presentation we were told that we could get fire extinguisher, fire alarms and smoke masks through his company at a cheap price. We gave our names and telephone number so that we will be notified when the items we ordered are coming.

Just our luck, biggest mistake we did was giving our contact numbers. One of my colleague and I started getting lots of sms and calls asking us out on a date from the presenter. Tried very, very hard to reject the guy but nothing much went in his head.

After thinking of many different excuses for two days, finally one had to lie. I don’t remember getting engaged, but that is my lie, I’m going out with my fiance. I thought the battle is over, but NO. He wanted to know about my colleague, so I had to lie on her behalf again and said she is getting married soon. After that rescue sms, I have not heard another “beep” “beep” on my phone. yet. Really hope that its over. If not, it will be police report.

So to all you guys who wants a girl’s number, something to note:

1. A girl gives you her number personally to you, you may call or sms her all you want. But when your job requires that the girl provides her contact details, you do not misuse the information given to you for your personal gain.

2. Do not stalk any woman, she will call the police as her last resort.

3. When a girl tells you NO many, many times, she really mean it. Please listen.

So that’s the end of my post. Go and read something else.

If you have ever thought of a peaceful holiday out of Singapore, I recommend Maldives. They have a flight from Singapore to Male’, capital of Maldives every night on Singapore Airlines.

Some of the pictures taken in Maldives below:

•   This is taken at Nalahiya Hotel, Male’ where I stayed throughout my trip
•  These are the Water Bungalows most honeymoon couples would want to stay in Bandos Resort
•  Warm and hospitable staffs of MNSL (one of the biggest shipping company in Maldives), taken with me and SoftShip team.
•  A beautiful sunset with a sea view at Villingili Island.

You can view more pictures in “My Gallery”.

This was what that had happened to me when I was told to provide a shipping system evaluation for MNSL. Lady luck came knocking on the door when the board of directors requested me to do a presentationg regarding my evaluation. After the presentation and vendor chosen, I was offered to fly to Maldives to lead a team of engineers and cosultants in implementing the Software.

Wasn’t that unexpected? Only girl in the team and she is flying to Maldives at a short notice. Wonder what else is coming up next this Monday.

What happens if we are born with some defects? How far would we go to change ourselves to appear perfect to the world? Would you go to the extremes of make over to be accepted by everyone around you?

In a world where image does matters, getting a job or even a date can be difficult if you do not meet the basic looks that they want. Take a look at becoming a flight attandant for instance, you need to be at least 5 feet tall to get a job. They will not employ a short person even if you are pretty or handsome.

In some countries, people would go to the extremes to grow to at least 5 feet (1.524 metres). How do they do it? They have to undergo a surgery called leg-lengthening which is extremely painful and may take up to one year before one can get out of bed and walk properly. Bones will be broken and braces will be attached to legs to increase the height.

It is just amazing how medical advancements have changed over time. Undergoing such surgeries have now become common for one to enhance appearance and acceptance of people around us.

Maybe you may have played this game at an arcade nearby your home. You put in $1 and try to win all the levels in the game. If you lose, you add another $1 and continue playing. What game am I talking about again? Its a dance game. Maybe you may have read the news, years ago when the Japanese invented a cool dancing game where teenagers had to practice all the moves just to advance to the next level.

You can now play this game at the comfort of your home, free of charge. You will be competing with other players from around the world. The catch is, you got to like bollywood songs.

I recommend this game to those of you who likes music and don’t mind trying something new. Good Luck playing.
