Mid-Life Crisis - Realization

Even before I left Deutsche Bank and embarked on the uncertain journey into SMBC, I had already pondered about what lies ahead and how should I plan my journey around my career. I was comfortable at Deutsche and simply wanted to stay and do the same but at SMBC I had bigger dreams. The role itself had a workplan to provide identity, short term and long term goals the team tries to achieve.

I had a blast, learned a lot, the team was almost perfect and we compliment and cover each others' strengths and weaknesses.

All good things must come to an end, but I hadn't thought it would begin to end like this, still I was prepared since he tendered last year.

I do not really wish to say much, everyone have their priorities and freedom of choice and if they had decided to go, I wish them well.

I used to think we should stick through thick and thin and complete the goals and objectives we had set out to achieve before leaving each other on our seperate paths. I used to think that a gentleman's agreement is something sacred, similar to noblese oblige... I was simply too young, dreamy and immature.

Nonetheless, we still have to live our lives, I've resigned to fate that we will not be working together in the future, or I no longer wish to have my sincerity stamped on, my heart broken...

Well I guess, my ideals are bit far too extreme, I can either build my own team and carry on my own dreams or I could just fit in and live a mediocre life.

Either way, 11 more years till I'd quit this disgusting, dark and hopeless corporate life and see if I have enough to move to Canada to live the remaining life in peace.

The Pioneer LX55 Bluray Player Review

Pioneer Corporations, once the leading company for Home Theatre Systems, Display and Optical players, began to falter when the likes of Samsung, LG, Sharp etc came into picture with lower end products for the mass consumer. Pioneer, who steer clear form the niche market, producing high end products, fell to it's knees, withdrawing from the TVs market and started a joint venture with Sharp, resulted in absolute catastrophe. Pioneer fanboys nicknamed the products "Sharpioneer" A bold direction, right or wrong, there's too much points to take, although myself would 200% standby their decision to continue with making highend products previously, even though they failed eventually. Anyhow, ever since that catastrophic "Sharpioneer" released, tons of consumers ditched their players within days of purchases, the management finally woke the FUCK UP. Director Product Planning and Marketing Pioneer USA, Chris Walker started visiting multiple online forums, gat...

While caking, someone pop right into my head. Anyway, my top strength is: 1. Ideation: loves associating and providing ideas 2. Command: leadership, loves to put his ideas through 3. Futurist: star-trek 4. Individualisation: view individual base on strength weakness, not stereotyping 5. Learner: keen to learn In short, I'm a futuristic creative open commander! Sounds awesome eh? Strength Finder 2.0 is a book that only concentrate on strengths ($39.00) zero about weaknesses so all you hear are good stuff. ======= Individualisation Anyway back to my caking session. Mr Ibrahim, came to my mind. He was quite a good looking Indian back in my primary school days. I've always tried to protect him though I admit to join in bullying him once in a while. Sometimes he'd come to me "begging" to help him or lend him money with his hands in "praying mode". I took pity of him ever since he did that once and when he told me "All i got is 40cents a day and they sto...

Been so long since I last blog, October 1st was my last, had to check my blog's post just to be sure. So how are things these days working out for you people? Just went through a topsy-turvy month. 2 colleagues left the bank, I'm blessed with 1.25 of their full 2 HC's work, excluding what I have on my plate, hmm? And they say I'll be compensated. Considering the pay I'm getting PLUS the load they are giving me, I'd expect a lot more of an increment from this yeah. Anything less than half a grand would be quite insulting, hence, I'm still waiting. School's crazy, started really listening during my Management Accounting lessons, it's pretty straightforward, a few problem sums combined into 1 question, that's how irritating it is. It's uninteresting, I'm uninterested like totally. At least I'm listening. Missed 3 straight sociology class, I'm screwed, lecturer refuse to reply to my S.O.S on email, pissed. Finance is back ...
