How should I start this?

Was wondering why I have a blog for when its only for posting pictures... shouldn't it be something for me to write for my everyday life?

Recently have a lot of discussion about my colleague leaving... Have a lot of "Gan Chu". I understand what she's going through cause I've been through the same thing before...

3 yrs ago tendered my resignation as another company was trying to poach me and paying me a market rate salary for my duty at that time... I know I've been under paid for my role at that time and it was about 30% lesser but as I was very happy and contented in the current co, I didn't thought of going to find another job... Its about the comfort zone thing again... who would want to go out of your comfort zone?

So I tendered to my manager... At lunch, saw my boss at the coffee shop so just told him that I had tendered (my intention was just to inform him about it since he was the one whom bought over my company and brought us over to the current one..). Never thought that he told me that he will have a talk with me later...

After he had his lunch, he really came to approach me and talked to me... So I told him about my offer and told him that I really needed the money and it was also the market rate for that post. He counter offered.... although it was not higher than the other company but I knew it was the best that he can offer cause as an SME, they had a lot of restrictions and I knew that if I had left, the company could lose the contract with the customer since I was the only person heading that. After much consideration, I stayed.

Unfortunately, after less than 1 yr later, the contract ended. I was reverted back to my old salary and position. I was very disappointed as I could not see what the company had for me. Even though I had the licensing knowledge in Microsoft products, no one seem to knew that and I am just left at the helpdesk taking calls. Sometimes I feel dejected as I know I can do so much more than just helpdesk... Unfortunately till now.. its been 2 yrs already and I'm still at helpdesk level. Its never where I thought I would be 5 yrs in this line.

I seriously feel that in this company, you have to carry balls in order to climb but I'm not such a person. I don't see why a person have to "por" and all the office politics are so scary...

The pickles and cabbage thing is a very good example... Bcos she can feed him with a lot of information heard from us, she's very well "valued". I feel very sad as I know I don't want to be still in the same position another 5 yrs down the road but my charactor is such that I don't like to "por"...

I also feel that the company only look out for themselves and not employees... when they need us, they try all means and ways to make us stay. But when they don't, they don't value you...

BB, I really feel happy for you as this opportunity is very good for you... even if you do not stay there for long, having an MNC experience in ur resume will add so much more value. Of course its not easy to stay in an MNC but do take it as a challenge and not personal. Don't stress urself too much in a job, yes you got to give 100% but dun give ur life k? U read the story that MB sent? The girl over worked and over stressed in MNC then in the end . You must know how to cope with stress k?

I am looking for better opportunities now as I have 3 mouths to feed. I haven't been getting much stuffs for myself and all spending on family and kids...

After having my sometimes adorable, sometimes can be devil, little ones, I have been keeping or spending all my money on them... But its a pleasure to spend on them.. lol seeing the smile on their face.

I've got friends or just acquaintances asking me how I cope with 3. Lol... I get by by doing side line loh.. hahahah

I do boarding of dogs to earn extra income loh.. I've always loved dogs but as my bro has been asthmatic since young, we couldn't have any pets... Now that we have our own family, we adopted Rosie 1 yr plus ago. Now having 3 kids and 1 dog, hubby dun allow another dog in the family so we can only do boarding... so I can earn some extra income and can play and look after different breeds of dogs... 1 stone kill 2 birds isn't it?

Recently some one offered adoption of Charcoal, a CHH but my request to hubby was rejected... sigh...

Here's a pic of him:


Here's another pic:


Pity that I can't adopt him right?

Well.. hubby say when his 3 Mil deal comes in or when we have 100K in our bank, he will get me one CHH to fulfil my childhood dream... let's hope by that time he will still rem about this promise...

Hahahah maybe by then, I this sotong may have already forgotten about it.. hehehhe
