14 March, 2008 - Marketing lunch :)

Almost everyone from Marketing had lunch together at Pizza Hut in Siglap today. Oh I-Jiuin, Ling Chun, Weng Seng, Desmond, Willie, Vera and Joyce from Sales joined us as well. From Marketing, there were Anthea, Heidi, Alice, Andrew, Chin Yiang, Amy, Catherine, Aising, Sean, Fenn, Jasmine, Sarah and me. The occasion was TOTO hahaha we won a small amount and we are using the winnings for the lunch. I wish Edwin, Edward, Rick, Shirley, Alicia and HB were here..then it would means the whole of marketing team. It feels good to belong to such a big marketing team heehee

Been a long time since everyone so unitedly leave their computer and go out for lunch together. Team spirit :) I wish i had a camera...so that i can capture the moment hmmm I sat next to Sean and saw him ate 3 slizes of pizza,1 beef lasagne, half a mushroom pasta, garlic bread and some warm chocolate cake fwah he sure can eat lo, make a very good food buddy :p

In the office, there are issues to be resolved, problems to be solved, processes to be corrected, budgets to be met, difficult people to deal with etc etc etc...part and parcel of work. But the people here are really nice, at least no politics...at least no unmanageable politics.
**********************************************************************************

Once upon a time in kaki bukit, there was a small company. A young lady, full of hope, full of passion started work in a manufacturing company. This was a small company, but she thought it was a good company because there was a good manager. The manager was very good at PR. She told the young lady,"you have to learn how to slap a person on the right side of the face and then kiss the person's face on the left side." The young lady was amazed by this sentence..and wondered how could you possibly do that? Over the years, the young lady realised that in order to do that, a certain degree of hypocrisy is required. The manager was very good at promising the sky and dishing out praises to all her staff. Everyone felt special after her wonderful speech. But she was also a very cunning lady, using the boss's name as "upper management" to be the bad guy in order to get things done her way. And sow discord among her staff by using fear so that no one will "gang up" against her by quitting all together.

To be continued.......
