I actually cried when I read the news about the Ferrari freak accident. It was a tragedy that could have been avoided if people are less selfish and drive more responsibly. My heart goes out to the taxi driver, his family and the other two injured/deceased. Whatever the government is going to say regarding social integration and acceptance, this is not the time to tolerate. No doubt about it; the PRC is at fault. Haven’t their kind caused enough trouble around the world? Seriously. Singapore is just a tiny island dotted with numerous traffic lights at road junctions and there’s simply no way to speed here without incurring a high risk of accident. Think about whether you are endangering other people’s lives before you indulge in a spin on the road. Urgh. Still feeling indignant and unjustified for the unfortunate victims. I guess it’s always a lesson to everyone else, to be responsible for our own actions and count our blessings. Life can indeed catch us by surprise or shock.
I had a random dream about my late grandpa and my grandma, which caused me to wake up ten minutes late. They weren’t exactly saying anything; I guess it’s just a reminder by my late grandpa to visit my grandma more often >.< I am admittedly still unhappy with the way she treated my mum last time, which is one of the reasons for the once-in-a-blue-moon visits. But my mum is forgiving. Ought to learn from her, sighs….
From Pillow Talk:
婚姻更多的时候是守着一份过了限期的爱情，晚年时回味，最美丽的不是爱情的激越和缠绵，而是婚姻的厚实和博大。老伴，就像筷子，少了一根，就发挥不了作用。。。左手一直没有发现右手的温暖，失去了彼此，他们却是孤援无助的。
“家，不是讲理的地方，是讲爱的地方”。相处是技术，婚姻是需要用耐心、智慧和爱心经营的真谛。
this is an almost non-existent blog; wonder who will ever find and read it. audit is considered 90% over, unless the auditors decided that they are not satisfied with the dreadful number of findings they will give and dig up more things tomorrow. praying does not work in this case. a finding is a finding. anything promised but not committed to, done but in a slip-shod manner is indeed worthy of fault. though it means a high possibility that the site will close down as scheduled and i will sadly have to start the terrible process of job-hunting again, i would think we deserve whatever we get. now the important issue will be to minimize the impact of all the findings and ensure they do not overlook whatever good practices we have in place. seeing how the management deals with the whole audit process is really an eye-opener. i am glad the site is currently in good hands; people from gsk are amazingly high performers. respect from deep down. i think i can never be like them, the inspirational, motivated, passionate and highly driven kind of leaders. it would be good to be one, but it means more responsibilities and responsibility is a BIG word. though i would like to make useful contribution and be appreciated, i am not and may unlikely in future be confident enough to lead. it’s just not me. i would prefer to do well for my part and step out when there is a need.
so many left cos our direct dept manager and asst manager don’t manage things well, but i guess it’s easy to criticize and overlook the good things being done. once an opinion is formed, and after hearing so many things, it is difficult for people to judge in a fair manner again. call it human nature. but i still see learning opportunities in this company and i am not prepared to leave yet. stupid or complacent or whatever, it does not mean hope is totally lost. the grass may not be greener at the other side. just hope for more chances of in-depth training and exposure to other areas!
