SURVIVOR FINALE
Survivor has juz ended yesterday, with the most drama, emotional and romantic ending!!...I was soooo happy when Rob took Amber together with him to the last two and proposed to her before announcing the results!!..Soooooo lo-man-tic!!.....soooo happy for them!!....Amber looked soooo radiant and they look pretty in love!......


Alas!...Amber was given the $1M!....and not only that!! - the All-Stars are given a second chance at a shot of winning tat $1M!!....and who have to owner to give them tat $1M??.....US!! We are given a chance to take part in this All-Star tribal council!!....soooo exciting...we can go to CBS to vote for our favourite or more right - deserving player this season!!.... :D


My vote is going out to Rupert and Rob!...I think they played the game real well!....And yes, I think this is just a game!...and an All-Star at that!....u guys (speaking to Lex and Kathy), should know better than to let personal relationship interfere with the game!....I juz can't stand Lex!...how dare he "reprimand" Rob the way he did!....so wat if he did make a deal?..this is a game! - shld know better than to trust him!!....and u did the same exact thing to Ethan earlier in the game anyway! - DUH!!!....and Kathy! - u're another SUCKER!!....u cried when reprimanding Rob...but u forgot that at one point of time, when u told Lex u wanted to give him ur immunity and it looked kinda confirmed that u're gonna do tat, lady, wat did u do in the end?....NOPE! - u didn't give it away!!...y wasn't tat brought up anyway?!....


FISH and Who moved my CHEESE??!
Some lessons we all can learn from the FISH philosophy and Who moved my Cheese, juz in case u have not gotten round reading up on it...


FISH Philosophy
I believe if these principles are put to good use in our workplace, life at work is soooo much better!!
Play - create a fun workplace!...have a few moment to "play" and have fun at work!...for eg Microsoft have a miniature golf along their corridors. They can play golf, if they're stressed; not being able to solve a technical problem, etc. It is evident that after a relaxing golf session, the staff are able to work better.
Be There - Be more attentive to your colleagues' and/or customer's needs. Show that you care; be a good listener. This way, it creates an element of trust more and reliability. Customers would be more appreciative!...
Choose your Attitude - What you choose to be when u wake up in the morning will have an effect on your day! So choose your attitude - You can:
1. Jump out of the bed, thinking "YES! A brand new day..and I'm looking forward to what it has in store for me today!"... OR
2. Drag your body off the bed and say "Aaaaaggghh!!!....What a tiring, black Mon/Tues/Wed/Thurs/Fri....."
There's supposed to be a fourth one...but I can't remember liao...will go check and update this later...
*I really hope that the management went through this course. If they did, HAIZ....they certainly didn't do ANYTHING abt it!...I like what the CEO of Aspen Ski Resort did - he empowered his front line workers to suggest necessary changes because they're the ones dealing with the public and not the top management! And that's what our management should freakin do!!...Also, looking at Pike's Place example (the company which started this FISH philosophy), one fine example for all managers/directors and those in the same capacity should learn is, in order for your staff to be motivated to do well in their work, you should also do as much and as hard as how they're working for your company!.....to lead by example, plsssss....*


Who Moved my CHEESE?
This is all about anticipating and accepting change. What I've learned is to take a negative change and turn it or think of it as a positive outcome!...Be more optimistic and face these changes as a challenge!...well, it's easier said than done..so I really hope, i'd be more optimistic and positive now...but of course, I can't deny and won't deny the fact that the changes happening in my office is definitely irreversible coz only ONE bitch is running the show!...even the real management is juz her freakin puppets! :(
