Tuesday...

I was the last to leave the office todae.....hahaz, well, I don't think i'm turning into a workaholic yet, but sometimes, the work is so exciting that I don't feel like stopping....
Had a discussion about the game plan with my colleague todae...both of us are primarily in charge of the company's accounts now...I think my role in the company is evolving into more of a financial analyst cum accountant with the kind of work I'm doing now, and with what my COO has assigned to me as my top priority...
I guess that's part of his strategy, and I see other ppl focusing on other aspects of the business too....

I'm very satisfied with what I'm doing now, and the game plan that is going to unroll and develop next is making me real excited....I am to document as precisely as I can about the entire cash flow of our company, which is pretty complex, and make my recommendations and suggestions about how to build the new finance system, and present it to the CEO, COO and CFO....
I'm not sure how all this is going to work out, but being given so much autonomy in my work reali makes me feel empowered....VERY empowered in fact....
I'm going to make this a STAR proposal....covering any loopholes or possible flaws, and taking care of all possible counter-arguments which can be offered by proponents....it's going to be a perfect proposal...... =)

Singapore is a very competitive country in terms of its economy, various industries, educational standards and much more....Today, all NUS students received an email from the university about the Double Degree, Concurrent Double Degree and Double Major programmes that are available to freshmen from this year onwards...

The main driving force is again, yah, u guessed right....globalization....
World renowned universities have set the trend which have been adopted by SMU too....and it's no longer even sufficient to graduate with a single degree....
Talk about kiasuism.....to tell you the truth, I have seen so many cases of Americans being even more kiasu than Singaporeans....in all aspects.....I just haven't and don't want to blog abt it....

Yes, and reading that email sent to us by NUS is so so motivating to me....
it brings out the highly competitive side of me...
I know everyone responds differently to this kind of emails but for me, it only serves to motivate me and push myself to want to do even better, to reach new frontiers, to break new grounds, to scale even greater personal heights, to do the best, and to BE the best....

This, however, has given me some food for thought about planning strategies for my future career path....I will think about it....
and coming to this issue of strategies....
I think I will like to see myself as a strategist more than a visionary....although eventually, I wanna have the attributes of both; at the practical level, it's more important to be a great strategist....

As I type, Valentine's Day in 2007 is fast approaching....
I wish all lovers in the world a happy V-dae! and for singles, Happy Friendship Day!!!

a poem which I wrote last year, on 14th Feb....hahaz...at the risk of sounding corny, i'm republishing it...a year later! =p ... Here goes:

The One
Since time immemorial,
In everyone's quest to search for The One,
it has not always been easily done.
The disappointment of being turned down,
inadvertently draws upon a frown.
The euphoria of getting together,
bears testament to a new relationship's birth.
Such is the ambivalence of love...
For those who are attached,
I'm sure your partner's the perfect match.
Singles, fret not...
You should nevertheless be contented with your lot.
For,
despite The One still being elusive,
With patience, belief and fate,
you'll soon find your soul-mate...
So, be happy and gay,
Happy Valentine's Day! =)
-- Jinfa


I am really feeling so highly motivated now, it's the kind of familiar feeling of wanting to conquer the world, in a good sense of cos.... =)

tHe 'everything oso can do it' feeLinG...

tHe 'smart' strategy...
