*Yahoo...I really feel happy and great!why? It's because a big and huge promo that was only passed to me for 2 weeks, I did it from head to toe and launched it successfully. Had never been so great before, but this was really a pain experience, worrying about the testing, worrying about the communications collaterals, worrying bout this and that....made me INsoMnia...which I nearly forgot how it feel ever since I move to Sg...
Everyone gotta be patient with me...my post this time will be quite a long one....
I had a very bad time for the past 2 weeks...being scolded by my AM, being treated sarcasticly by colleagues from other department. Somehow you'll just forgot to inform some people on a new thing you gonna launch...like me, a newbie...if I am an old bie, of course I'll know what I am supposed to do from east to west already lar...still need to remind me meh?!but too bad...here...people don't care whether you are new or old, what they know is, you need to get everything RIGHT! the 3 Ws (what,where,who)!
And I actually had a totally sleepless night 3 days before the promo, was busy doing to UAT to ensure all the neccessary scenarios covered...Here...it is really different. Even every users that did the test, PASSED it, but when something goes wrong, the product owner has to be responsible and take all the shit. Everyone else will just hands off and says, 'product owner SUPPOSED to make sure everything is okay although the other OKED it...I was like ?????But the truth is just so cruel...
Leaving previous company and joining the company I am in now was really a big and tough decision...but how much can you continue gaining and learning by staying in the same company for 4 years? Well...I thought I will regret when i left. But my x boss once told me, 'DO NOT regret once you have decided it. It you worried that you might regret, then do not make the decision', which i totally agreed with what he said...
Life in previous company was stress but fruitful, but life in the new company is not well-heeled...it is few times more stress but also few time more fruitful compared to my x company. Both are equally fantastic, but of course with fast pace environment in sg, life is tougher. People who just given a small task in my x company has been always complaining like hell, think of it, I will just give a grin, because these people have not really seen what is the real hell yet.
I use to complaint a lot in my previous position in the previous company. Why? because tons of things to be done. Well, it's not better off here. Although life is tough in Msia, but which what I am in and with now, flashing back the memories, life is actually very very very relax back in Msia.
Here, our small team which consists of 3 peoples, need to do 50 peoples work in my x company. So, dear people in 'D', you guys actually are really blessed. With the number of tasks, pressure and responsibilities, if you could not even take it in 'D',you are not even qualified to step in to the world in Sg. I may look very cheerful, I am trying to be one, but moving here is a big decision, not everyone can take it. Especially when you already think that your current job and boss very tough.
I am struggling here...and still trying to be on par. The difference with people in Msia and Sg...In Msia we often noticed, even not competitive people but with their glib tongue they can survive, we have seen a lot...but here in Sg, for the past 1 and half months here, I could not find any not competitive people, in other word, 'paria' people. I could not detect any.
Msian always think that Sporean are kiasus people. As for my own opinion, people in my company are not kiasu by competing with others. There are competing with themselves. To them, no matter how hard it is, they must give the best. This is not to please the bosses or anyone, they just feel great when they can produce a great achievement. I am not making a generalization statement, maybe its God blessing that I am placed in a place that have a lot of people that willing to guide me and teach me and want me to be competitive as well..not to be the best, but at least same par as the others.
I am in great pressure now....yesterday after the promo launch, I was asking my AM how was my performance, and she told me you did really great job!!I didn't expect a new staff to join the team and don't know head to toe, manage to settle everything by yourself!And she said she has very high expectation on me. And she also told me, my another colleague actually told her that she put too much pressure on me. She said 'YES', because I am a fast learner, she is taking this advantage on me. To train me everything by action,so that I know to do as a product owner....
Sometimes, I missed the time in 'D'. Even how tough the situation is, my great boss will sure guide and assure that everything will be okay. Provided a lot of guidance and learning path. But here, there is no time to be guided and learn. Everything is great competition between the other 2 competitors. Everything must be fast. There's no time for me to even think, 'erm...how to do this ya...'. Is more to, okay..I know what to do...
Quote of the day: Money is everything....yet having a life is more than everything...*

~*第一份薪水，第一件新衣。。。9 May 2008*~
*这是我第一份薪水买的衣服。漂亮吗？其实，我自己快忘了最后一次买新衣是在什么时候。不知道为什么，但我用了这第一份薪水买衣服是感觉不太一样。跟平常买衣服的感觉比较起来，这次感觉到很快乐。辛苦工作一个月后领到的薪水，然后给自己买了一件很漂亮的衣服。。。我。。。从以前到现在，不曾有这种满足感！
