Nonsensical Ramblings: Office Politics
http://rainyday05.blogspot.com/2006/06/office-politics.html
I like nonsense. it wakes the brain cells up. Friday, June 16, 2006. Work life and trying to get along with colleagues is a totally different ball game from school life and making friends. There are obvious and not-so-obvious seniority ranks in place although everyone is a "colleague" to you. And after a while, you just learn to identify these invisible ranks. And you learn how not to be blunt and avoid treading on these people's toes. You finally manage to see some meaning in the term "office politics".

Nonsensical Ramblings: Reminiscing
http://rainyday05.blogspot.com/2006/03/reminiscing.html
I like nonsense. it wakes the brain cells up. Wednesday, March 01, 2006. On a similar day like this 4 years ago, I must have been feeling how my cousin is feeling now. Yes, the A Level results are out today. And the lucky gal scored three 'A's! Still remains a sore thumb in my otherwise-what-I-think-is-near-perfect certificate. The memories of that day still remain so vivid. :) And that was like four years ago? Boy, I am growing old. View my complete profile. No failure, no failure at all.

Nonsensical Ramblings
http://rainyday05.blogspot.com/2006/06/fixed-deposit-rates-not-competitive.html
I like nonsense. it wakes the brain cells up. Sunday, June 11, 2006. Fixed deposit rates not competitive with other banks. FD cannot do. One-year structured deposit no longer available. SD cannot do. At least 6 increases in mortgage rates since the start of the year. Eve walk-in rates are higher than most banks. Bank acting all high and mighty, only wanting to attract the affluent. Now even the affluent don't want to come. Mortgage cannot do. Don't need to work already lah. View my complete profile.

Nonsensical Ramblings: Huat ah!
http://rainyday05.blogspot.com/2006/02/huat-ah.html
I like nonsense. it wakes the brain cells up. Sunday, February 05, 2006. I pray that the Year of the Dog would bring fortune and prosperity to those born in the Year of the. I have been enjoying quite a fair bit of luck on the gambling table this new year. Played mahjong on chu er and chu san and I was the sole winner against the other three players on both occasions. But the bets were all so small that all the winnings came up to not much. Not that it mattered. And before anyone thinks I am becoming lik...

Nonsensical Ramblings: No failure, no failure at all...
http://rainyday05.blogspot.com/2006/02/no-failure-no-failure-at-all.html
I like nonsense. it wakes the brain cells up. Thursday, February 16, 2006. No failure, no failure at all. Big shots need to have "face". Sometimes things have become a very, very obvious failure, but they just fail to admit it, claiming that "this new innovation" was a "roaring success" and even have the cheek to thank everybody for contributing to the success. All that nonsense talk about productivity. Decreased productivity more likely. Hi, my name jon,. The reason i email is i was wondering if u would...

Nonsensical Ramblings: Been there, done that
http://rainyday05.blogspot.com/2006/04/been-there-done-that.html
I like nonsense. it wakes the brain cells up. Friday, April 14, 2006. Been there, done that. In the bus on the way back from work, I overheard a conversation between 2 young girls, who were probably in secondary school. Girl A commented that her sister was at home at this time, because she was going to start school in a week's time so she had just quit her job. Her sister's timetable is "so good", some days she goes to school at 9, some days 12pm and some days she doesn't have school. Free days and flexi...

Nonsensical Ramblings: I. Have. No. Life.
http://rainyday05.blogspot.com/2005/08/i-have-no-life.html
I like nonsense. it wakes the brain cells up. Saturday, August 20, 2005. I Have. No. Life. Been a week since my first day at work. I'm so tired. And I haven't even gone to my branch to start the. Work, because I am still stuck in training. A horrible six-week training with an assessment at the end of every lesson. That requires a minimum passing rate of 80%. To "sweeten the deal", I have to pass the external CMFAS exams as well, with a minimum 70% pass rate. Why is the company so strict? They are killing...

Nonsensical Ramblings: Holiday mode
http://rainyday05.blogspot.com/2006/07/holiday-mode.html
I like nonsense. it wakes the brain cells up. Monday, July 24, 2006. Since I came back last Thursday, I am still in the this-time-last-week-I-was-doing-this-and-this kind of mood. And it sucks being back in office for the first full work day, although I was already at work till 5 pm last Saturday! And so, last week this time, I was at the Galaxy Bar at Tiantan Hotel having drinks with my colleagues and playing that silly dice game on Shao Nian Te Gong Dui and having a whole lot of fun! All of us had been...

Nonsensical Ramblings: Nothing is the same again
http://rainyday05.blogspot.com/2006/08/nothing-is-same-again.html
I like nonsense. it wakes the brain cells up. Sunday, August 27, 2006. Nothing is the same again. 1 year on in my new job. There were at least twenty of us in the same training batch and there are just less than five of us now. I moaned and groaned about how the job sucked and how I hated the long hours from the first day since I joined the branch and I am still here (and still hate the job). But I somehow manage to pass by quarter after quarter getting commission for hitting my targets.

Nonsensical Ramblings: Random updates
http://rainyday05.blogspot.com/2006/01/random-updates.html
I like nonsense. it wakes the brain cells up. Thursday, January 19, 2006. Long time since I blogged. Work has been busy as usual and Changes at the work place have been real sucky. 1st Sat of Jan was spent at Boss's place for dinner and new year countdown. 2nd weekend (Sat Sun) at Suntec City for roadshow; last weekend (Sat Sun) at Ironman event all the way at. NTU This Sat. roadshow at Woodlands. In short, no life. One video they showed was especially meaningful. I still had goosebumps even though t...
