CNY 2012
My last post was before last year's CNY. How interesting. This year, CNY falls on Monday and so the traditional feast is on Sunday. No half day on Friday though. But that allowed us to host dinner since we have more time to prepare. Tomorrow, Sunday, we are waking up early to go and get our fish balls. If we don't reach that place before 9am, they will sell our fish balls. Those fish balls are good and affordable.
My in laws are coming as are 2 of my wife's aunts (one paternal and one maternal). My dad is around but my mom is in Mauritius. We are going to do the traditional steam boat. But since my dad is around, we'll add a small Mauritian twist by having steamed chinese sausage (hopefully the non fatty ones), century eggs and pork roast. My wife was commenting that these are quite un-healthy. I think it's just cultural nuances.
You see, back in Mauritius, we don't often eat Chinese sausages or century eggs or pork roast. In Singapore though, you can buy those on any day in any hawker. Sometimes, that's the curse of progress. There was a time when you can get only certain things if you travel to, say, Hong Kong. Now, you can get anything from anywhere in the world. I wish they would sell lobster cheaper though. Just saw that a 600g one was selling at around $28. My dad hinted that he would want to eat and this time, we'd probably just steam it to get the full flavour. I will have to do my research.
Oh. Going to be a father this year! A dragon boy/girl... well, hopefully all will go well. I suppose things are ok since my wife still has some kind of morning sickness from time to time, though definitely of less magnitude than during the 1st trimester. We have not yet attended the normal parenthood classes and I suppose our gynae will tell us more soon. Fingers crossed, there will be more cousins around.
I need to lose weight. I have been going to gym of late but not so regularly... about 2-3 times weekly. I think that my problem is that I don't do enough cardio. I need to hit 45 minutes and cut down maybe on the weights, especially if I do during lunch time. My biggest problem is that I probably don't cut down my food intake, or worse, I eat more thinking that I can afford it. I am not getting younger and I definitely know that I need to cut down my weight. Being heavy has its toll on the body. My back sometimes ache for no reason and I take longer time to recover from sudden physical activities. Recently, I played hectic captain ball and I think I injured my knee. Took about 2 weeks and it's not yet fully recovered.
Also need to look at increasing saving rate. We are waiting for a drop in property prices so that we can have a chance to think of upgrading. Not too soon though as we have not built capital and we'll have to adjust to having a baby on board too!

CNY 2011
Christmas came and went, as did New Year. Chinese New Year will come and go in 2 days' time. Somehow, 2010 and now 2011 is not looking very promising in terms of celebration. Last year the department lost almost one third of my staff and this year, we are already down 2 guys. Probably the good news is that we'll welcome 2 babies this year, and most likely 1-2 weddings (including ex-staff).
Of late, the theme of "you are dealt your own pack of cards" has been ringing in my mind. I was thinking back in my first few years in the company and on the current job. Things were different one might say but I truly believe that you simply make do with what you are given and move on and make your own history.
Back in the days, even I could dabble with SQL on the LIVE system. I vividly remembered those overnight sessions trying to write SQL code. Still remember the night spent write the code for the flexible interest rate computation.... still remember because there was a bug some months after implementation and I had to debug and write another code to un-do the errors. All this within the day before client could spot the mistake. Things went fast then. Nimble. But yea, in today's context, those were the days of weak controls.
Trust exists but cannot be counted on. Like we tend to say nowadays, "it's not that I don't trust you... but..."
Today, there is a battery of tests and processes to follow before getting anything implemented. Sometimes, one does not fully know what one is doing but hey, you digital print is there for future finger pointing...erm, I meant, for audit tracking purposes.
Still, you adapt and make do with what you have. If Internal Audit is coming down hard on you, you take it as a good opportunity to strengthen your internal controls, hoping that once done, you will be left alone. If Compliance is asking merry-go-round questions, you try to see their points and start talking like them; hell, if you can't beat them, join them, because you'll end up the winner. You become better at Compliance and Internal Audit and you execute the plans instead of simply talk about them.
You adapt. New B2B business is hard and demanding but hey, if you do it well, your B2C improves too. You leverage of the changing environment to spur people to move and to change. It's painful but like the saying goes, no pain no gain.
Oh sure, it's painful. Painful to train people for 1-2 years without reaping the fruits of the training. Painful to do job re-shuffling simultaneously. But they are all opportunities in disuise; seriously! With some key people missing, you get to delve into the nuts and bolts and take the opportunity to change thing (hopefully for the better) for the next person. You get to move people around to take new responsibility and to shine (nothing beats viewing an existing process from a different angle). But it's painful.

Christmas is coming!
I think I used that title? Well, I heard that in London the Christmas decors are already installed. It's early November and Orchard road in Singapore is not yet decorated. Raffles City has started to install its traditional huge Christmas tree.
This week is a shorter one - deepavali. Might plan for a driving trip to Melaka, stay overnight and come back.
At work, things are getting better now that we are back to full strength. Save for that "one mistake" (who left the company after a few weeks and is not even worth my time mentioning), all the 4 new colleagues are absolutely fantastic. No regrets. I think they are hard working and have the brains. And more importantly, they are "new" and that allows us to really move up a notch. It also gives me an opportunity to drive changes as new-comers are generally more opened to changes because for them, they don't know whether it's a change or not: everything is new.
Business might get better with our front office driving hard at getting new partners and we just need to make sure that we can cope. It's not the best we can do but at least we are not choking to death. People are still leaving on time, save for a couple. Even I can now go gym during lunch time and start to lose those KGs accumulated over the past 3-4 months.
There's so much work to be done and there will always be work. The main thing is to pace oneself. It's a long race and trying to go faster than what is human possible will only lead to tiredness and breakdowns. We need to maintain the right equilibrium between going too fast and not going fast enough. We are like muscles; must be exerted and trained hard else there's no progress. And the initial fews days are the most painful but as the muscles get used to it, there's less pain.

We are diamonds
It's mid October but I can't help but think that Christmas is already around the corner. I mean, was it not just like... erm... 10 months ago that we had Christmas?
Time flies and you don't need to be a genius to know that. Life has been generally good. You take the good and the bad together and so long you enjoy the good and learn from the bad, you'll just be find.
2010 has so far been relatively eventful at work. We had a 4 staff turnover and we are only now assimilating the new people. I believe that I've mentioned that before: your people is the most important resources you'll ever have. But that's from an employer's view point. The problem for an employee (as I am in any case) to view that "people" is the most important resources is that entitlements become a given and you only look at the "good" examples of the world; this fellow earning $1m or that fellow retiring at 45 yrs old.
As an employee, you have to consider yourself as a very raw diamond. Some will be bigger than others just by the nature of it. Fret not though; a very polished and carved diamond is much more precious than a bigger but very raw and common-shaped diamond!
You might not be as bright as the fellow Ivy league grads. Or you might be an Ivy league grads but still pale in comparison to your Valedictorian. Or you are that chap who gave the speech at your convocation but wish you could be the drop-out earning $1m monthly! The point is that if you keep comparing, you will never end. Be contented with the shape and size you are as a diamond but know and believe that you are a diamond in the first place; that you can be shaped and polished and that the finished product is worth much more than what it is now.
You are that raw diamond. You hope that employer is a good diamond-cutter. You hope that your shop is in the right place. But that's what you are now; a raw diamond still being refined.
So, here I have 4 new raw diamonds with the remaining 8 more-polished (or less raw) diamonds. It is all of our job to make sure that we keep polishing all the diamonds. The goal is to further make sure that while each diamond is polished to its potential, the 13 diamonds (including myself) are viewed as a collection and are thus worth more than if "sold" separately
The sum of our effort as a whole is to be greater than the sum of our individual effort. Mathematically, we believe 1+1 <> 2. Rather, 1+1 = 3. Or 1+1=4 etc.

A Sunday morning
It's 1024am Sunday. It's quite rare that I am up at this time and not being at church. Just shared a breakfast deluxe with my wife and in-law - granted, I ate most lah.
Came early to Shaw tower to see an "acupunturist" but it turns out that we needed to call for an appointment first. Saw a TCM doctor yesterday at Marine Parade: reach 8:15am and left around noon! Cost us $90 for some herbs, which it quite worthwhile considering the thousands you may spend on western medicines; fingers crossed that TCM is good though I am not holding my breath.
Going to have dim sum with sisters and a cousin from Mauritius. So here I am at Mac, trying hard to resist getting to chomp on especially since lunch is 2 hours away. It's pretty filled up with many families.
Challenging month ahead. One more month before I lose 2 staff. Already lost 2 staff. Recruiting is a bit of a pain but I have to admit that we do take too long to recruit. Well, I took 1-2 weeks to write a good JD and then that's another 2 weeks before I get to do interviews. You then have to select and get your selected candidates vetted by management; only to find that the candidate has rejected the offer.
Fresh grad from NUS rejected. I now have another grad with working experience asking for a fresh grad pay. I have another who worked in Engineering and still asking for his last pay. I then have a grad through correspondence study asking for a poly salary. I have that sweet young lady barely out of university asking for almost an AM level pay. I have a double masters chinese national asking for a fresh grad pay. Why focus on pay, you might ask. The truth is that I don't need someone who's experienced. I will go for the freshies simply because I believe it's easier to train them. And well, they usually ask for lower. Or I might go for a very experienced fellow, one I know could potentially reply me! After recruiting about 5 people and another 3 soon, I have to admit that I do rely on gut feel many times! Yea, I know, I've read about how gut feelings are not always good but that's me.
For the record, I went with the grad with working experience asking for a fresh grad pay partially because she/he can start immediately (she/he might still reject the offer). And I will also go for the fellow who worked in Engineering but asking for his last pay (though we'd probably offer a lower pay). The double masters will probably come third, and yea, I'll also try to get the freshis from correspondence course asking for Poly pay.
That's replacing almost a quarter of my team. I was prepared for that because I knew that such cycle happens every 3-4 years. The good news for me is that as far as I know, I am not losing 4 staff because of reasons directly attributed to me! Sure I might be responsible in some areas but all in all I doubt so. Anyway, 2 are being transferred out and 1 has kind of already indicated that she/he might resign (family decision).
Time of uncertainties coupled with the ever increasing demand from management to up our value-ad to the company: More internal controls, eLearning, audits, training etc etc. It's so weird because when I became a HOD, there was no such "training". As I was sharing with someone, we the current HOD/managers are probably the first batch of guys who will pave the way for the next generation. We will have the hard work. Then again, I am not complaining. That's part of the beauty of where I work - having the challenge to do new things!
I am 34 this year! I've worked for 10 years but I still have another probably 30 years to go! This is no joke and I need to believe that in another 15 years' time, I will still be relevant and if I am not, I must be wise enough to accept that and well, be contented with what I will have then. Nobody owes me a living. I can only make my own happiness given the circumstances I am in; so should all of you.

Staff Crunch
Tis the season again; good and bad. The economy is looking good and it seems that it's an employees' market. Is it? Well, I am not an expert in the matter. I do know however that I am kind of losing 4 people: 2 transfers and 2 resignation. Of the 2 resignations, one is personal in nature and the other one, well, unknown, though the staff actually has not found another job yet (which to me is not very smart especially when I doubt there's much pressure at work.. but then again, maybe I'm blind).
Contrary to what I thought would happen, I did get a reasonable number of resumes, considering we advertised only once and on the web (Jobstreet and the like). Interestingly though, I mostly got applicants who are trying to switch job; and asking of higher pay. Well, there are 2 categories: those in about the same line and asking for higher pay, and those who want to switch to a different line, the majority of which still asked for higher pay.
I do not know what is in store but I have a feeling that some people are in for a big surprise; getting a pay rise is good only for the long term only if you can ensure that in 10 year's time, someone 15 years your junior can't do about the same thing you are doing at a mere fraction of your salary! The worry is for those above 40, in 10-15 years time!
Then again, maybe that's me only.
So, what should it be then? Well, go for something you like and where you can see yourself for the rest of your career. Sounds "old" I know but hey, many in their 20-30 forget that they most likely will work for another 30 years! As much as we all want, there is only one Bill Gates. Forget all the books you read on "how to be rich etc"; that only makes the author rich.
My motto: enjoy what you are doing, try to have a work-life balance acceptable to you and your family, and well, do your best and know that if you boss is not treating your well, he's answerable to God.
Comparing with others is the worst thing you could ever do, especially comparing riches.

Year 2009
2009 was eventful, work-wise, only because of the very bad start. Gosh, I remember over Christmas 2008, it was "hell". Due to a mistake (or rather, a series of mistakes from the same root cause), we basically lost quite some money... enough to put one's career in jeopardy. And so, 2009 started with mopping all the problem.
Well, 2009 started very bad at work. Was almost alone in mopping the problem and frankly, till date, it's really something best forgotten though we'd probably use this "case" as one where internal controls went wrong (or rather, where there was no internal controls put in place in the first place!).
When I first took over the UT Ops department back in end 2006, I knew I was getting into a department famous for "staying late" and "fighting fire". I guess I survived but you know, there are some problems that only surface at the worst possible time. To put it simply, sometimes there's still fire underground and if the firefighters are not careful enough, the whole forest will burn.
It sucks to drive a bus that was mis-handled for long and waiting to break-down! But life goes on. I probably kept my job because I was not 100% at fault. But hell yea did I learn that being in operations can sometime be only shitty work, and no knowing when bad things can happen if you are not prepared.
And so, 2009 was kind of a year spent on boosting internal controls. We were 'audited' 4 times (2 internal and 2 external). I got to learn the "language" of auditors and though I still feel sometimes they are just "airy-fairy", I acknowledge that they do have valid points. It's just the execution that's always difficult - and I guess that's what I am being paid to do!
Christmas 2009 was a much better one. And I am looking forward to 2010. Family-wise, all was great. I became an uncle and my parents were in town for 3 months. Married life is still blissful though we have settled into a nice routine - tuesdays and thursdays dinner at the in-laws for instance. Thinking of starting a family too but leaving it in God's help. My wife is as supportive as since day 1 and I'm doing my bit by leaving work relatively early (around 7-8) - must work to bring this to 6:30pm... yea!!!
2010.... 2010.. maybe it's time to put the effort to cut down the weight... I'm not below 30 anymore! Time to focus a bit more at work and must think about the next decade or so. WOuld be great to do something for the industry... and for the community. Must look into new routines in our personal life... exercising regularly, cooking regularly, handing out with friends, and getting closer to friends.... we've kind of lost touch with a couple of our friends...
it's looking great though...
