Happy Birthday To Me

29th Dec 2007!

Is my birthday! I have been receiving phone messages one after another wishing me Happy Birthday. That really made my day. But the saddest thing is, they don't declare public holiday on your birthday. I am doom to be at work on a Saturday.

Ever since we kick off Youth '08, our working hours have been extended to Saturdays. At 1st it was from 2.30pm - 5.30pm. Then till 7.30pm and now because of the final few moments in history to venture into a new frontier of youth lifestyle. We are working from 10am till God knows what time. I am feeling a little dreadful about working now, but well duty is a duty. I got to accomplish it.

My boss once told me, you got to see your job as something that you own, not a task, this quote has been ringing in my ear ever since. I been thinking, normally when we want to own something, won't that thing 1st interest us and the next won't it be a pleasure having that thing that you own?

Well is not that I am complaining that I don't like what I am doing, but the amount of politics and tension cause in the whole commotion of Youth '08 have been a big disturbance to the ownership of my work. People say a person's true self appear under pressure, well it is true, really scary what people can do to you to achieve what they want.

I have always thought that team work pays off, but somehow I feel I rather work alone. At least I get things done the way I want it. I know that will put more burden on myself, which that is what I am feeling right now. But after so many things happening, I just can't trust people anymore. Sigh!!

Politics! Office politic!!

For 23 years of my life, it has became a norm now, work is work! So I just got to live with it. So far only 1 colleague remember my birthday. Really feel appreciated right?

Happy Birthday Jeff.
