Count your blessings but don't flaunt them!

Let me warn you guys - don't flaunt ur blessings. Just when I was happy over my 'windfall' in br, my sales stucked big time for the past 10 days. Lesson learnt: Count your blessings but DON'T FLAUNT THEM! Ok, no more sharing openly alright! Haa.

Anyway for the longest time I have been missing my fav Ch 8 drama. It's the best drama this yr I'm sure - Xing Fu Shuang Ren Zhuang. You know the typical lovey dovey kinda show. So, today I have the luxury to come hm early. There's this phrase that caught my attention. It was said by Chen Tianwen and Aileen Tan - "When you are sad, your guardian angel will fall onto the earth, appear beside you, and be your best companion aka guardian angel." SO SWEET RIGHT?? Orhhh.... If Jude Law ever says this to me, I will melt like an ice-cream, haa.

Anyway this song by SHE keeps replaying itself in my head, kinda getting irritated by it - 恋人未满. Luckily it's not the song - 暧昧!! haaa..

Yah for YL: So is the song 当爱已成往事 running in your head?
For HY: How abt 一场游戏一场梦?? haa
For Sor: Sigh.... 第三者 (YL said one! haa) but I dedicate this song for you coz you deserve it! 勇气 - I steady boh??
Anyway gers, all those are histories. Remember this song - 分手快乐!

This is the joke that happened at Yu's wedding. Fun!

Banking anecdotes...

Sometimes I feel like a doctor in br, one after another cx will come into my cubicle as if like a 'consultation', sit down and enquire their banking needs. Then we will go through the products with them or educate them etc. Today, I especially, feel like a pychiatrist or a counsellor. An elderly educated successful retiree consulted me on some banking issues. Through the process, I was told both her son and she are undergoing psychological treatment due to family problems. The case is complicated. I shan't reveal more. Anyway she was telling me abt her son's faith in God, and though he's under tremendous pressure, he still chooses to rest in God. That keeps him going. Her mum was devastated but her son's faith keeps her going too. Me being me again of course will spend time with cx and empathize with her and remind her that God is good. In times of turmoil, we tend to deviate from God as though we are mightier than Him. Panicky causes us wanting to resolve it on our own. We just think 'WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHG to remedy the unpleasant situation fast!' However, what can we do? If we know or if that works, we would have already done it long ago, isn't it? Anyway, easier said than done, I know!

Another case was a minor with two kids came to enquire abt savings plan for her kids' education. It's like a child taking care of two babies. She's unwed, earning meagre sum, asking me how to save for her children. She doesn't have parents, no education, doesn't want kids to follow her footsteps. Wants to get own flat but couldn't etc and asks me for alternatives etc etc. -- What can I say??

There are still many cases. So I tend to feel sometimes like a counsellor, sometimes like a psychiatrist, sometimes like a GP haha. I guess I enjoy staying in br a great deal.

On the negative side, sometimes I feel like a 'punchbag' with ridiculous cx coming in to teach you how to run a bank, give you ideas for bank's layout and design etc. Maybe we can set up 20 Treasures cx queues and yet have another 20 customers complaining still. Maybe if one day the bank decided not to take IC as mean of identification, cx will finally realise how many Ah Kow, Ah Huat, Lucy, Mary are there in the world. Maybe if one day a cx comes into the bank and realises that he never has to wait for his turn, he may then realise that he is the only human being in the world. If one day, there is a product that is 6mth in tenor, gives you 20% guaranteed return, capital guaranteed and flexibility to withdraw any point in time without penalty, pls let me know, I want to be 2nd in the queue after this cx!

Ciaoz!

Interesting 'theories' of BGR..

My friend, Lawrence, shared this with me yesterday. He learned it from our pastor, Joseph Prince. Here it goes - For a relationship to be successful,
the girl has to understand the guy 90% and show him love 10%; as the guy doesn't need constant assurance, and by understanding him most of the time, he in turn will love you more. On the contrary, the guy has to understand the girl just 10% but show his love 90%. Basically, girls are beyond comprehensible but need constant showering of love to be secured. Don't you guys agree? I do. haaa.

Remember a yr ago, my colleague asked me to list down traits I look for in a bf/husband. Then pray abt it. So funny.

Lawrence told me this as well. The guy is only worth entrusted with for your happiness if he:
1. Has drive and passion in his life/work
2. Is kind
3. Is magnanimous i.e. big heart, has mercy on others
Not to mention the obvious - he has to be in the same yoke.

PS: Spiderman sucks! 2.5 torturing hours! Yucks!

A test of Faith...

Are you sometimes doubtful to the reality when thgs are going your way? Do you kinda have a solemn feeling when the happenings are too incredibly gd? I have. I will start to think "What's next?? Is something drastic gg to happen soon?" I guess I am quite used to adversities to be frank. Need some getting used to. Am too amazed by what had happened lately; I thought gd thgs only happen to others. HA! I will count my blessings and not take things for granted. Like my friend encourages me - be anxious for nothing, but is everythg by prayers and supplication with thanksgiving. (Phil 4:6-7) Gd things don't happen to you by chance :)

I have a colleague who always rattles on her stuff, don't really listen when ppl are talking. Always like to ask 'Huh...why...Wei Shen Mo...' Don't know how to infer or use her common sense; everythg also must explain. WAH LAO! Always don't wana listen, and when ppl finish the sentence already, she'll 'Huh...say again..say again..' Always 'aiya aiya aiya' grumble and grumble as if she is new to the job. Ppl are already moving on to the next topic, she can still complain on the same old thg. KKN! (pardon me pls)

Yesterday was out with my ex-colleagues cum celebrate Jane's Bdae. Eat and drink again, what else? I have grown fatter was the comment I heard! Sigh... I had food poisoning last 2 weeks somemore. Think siao liao... Gg jogging @ 9plus later on, still waiting for my food to digest..

I don't need another Lawrence!! haha

Haha trying to create some mysterious effects in my blog. However, this is exactly my thoughts n feelings right nw - I don't need another Lawrence! WTF?! U noe wat I mean? No, u don't! Only Jas mama will understand. She totally understands and agrees with me, thanks! This is nerve-wreaking! I thank GOD for Lawrence but one is enough, u noe?! Gr.......

Anyway, gana scolded by BOM (aka CSM) today! 'You all RMs, I tell you ah, don't go and stand at the SA counters if you all don't know. Stand there already, come back and ask me, I m already so busy! Keep interupting.. blah blah..' OK NEVERMIND! I go and ask somebody else! SUX! I was 'NA MEN' coz one minute prior to that, she still patiently explained to me the steps to help that cx; one minute later I went to show her, she flared up. BRILLIANT! Coz u noe why? She was scolded by a cx, then I SUAY, went to 'HOP' her frustrations. Haha. Anyway I forgot that a caterpillar can change into a butterfly within one minute..

Yeah!!! Tomorrow is a holiday! Apr was quite a fruitful mth. Thank GOD!

Come May, do you guys think I can be resolute enough to take bus to work everyday?
