Wee weet! It's been 7 months since I wrote a damn thing... Guess I'm not gonna make it as a celebrity blooger in this lifetime!
I don't even know why I bothered to log in to blogger now. Been so long since I updated this blog so not sure where to start filling in the gaps.
Okay, let me try to write this like it's a diary!
Dear Diary,
Several things have made me very happy in the past few weeks, although some things are more important than others.
The thing that has the biggest immediate impact on my happiness meter would have to be the presentation I just done with Miklos (my big big boss) and subsequently the client (can't disclose who).
Long story short, boss commented that it was a very well constructured presentation which addressed the key issues that the client would be concerned with. And while it's beyond us to wave a magic wand and turn their business around, pointing them at the right direction would be a good place to start, hopefully they will be able to pull themselves together and execute meaningful measures and grow their business.
It been so long since I joined Nielsen, and only now do I really feel like I'm on to something, that I finally know the power as well as limitations of the data that we wield. Also, now I finally know why driven + ambitious people are more likely than others to become successful. It's easy to produce good work when you are full of adrenaline, but to keep it going for your entire career takes an altogether different energy...
My happiness meter also took a boost when my fishes laid eggs in the fish tank! Wow, I almost became a grandpa... (Opps, for those who didn't know, i started keeping fishes as a hobby 2 months ago.) I read somewhere that if fishes (Corydoras) laid eggs without external influences, it means that they are generally happy with their living conditions, so I must be keeping them right! :) Unfortunately, I didn't let the eggs hatch (I let my other fishes snack on the eggs!) cause I didn't think I can add new fishes to my tank so soon and there are other things I'd like to acheive and learn with my tank before I add new members...
My better half (Who?) and I are also kind of planning for the next stages of our lives now.. Been doing alot of research on the kind of dwelling we can possibly afford and so on. Took a merry go round and explored many options but eventually decided that we'll most likely go for the conventional route and take HDB's 2.6% concessionary rate. What a difference 1+% makes when you are talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars!
