| What Wei Tat Means |
 You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. |

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?
I was browsing through Ms Pooh's blog and she always has these lobangs (links) for those pyschoanalysis of your character type articles. This is her latest on name analysis, looks interesting so I give it a shot...

2 More People
My SVP (Senior Vice President) told me that he is going to add 2 more people in my team, so he asked me to keep a look out for 2 more people to join my team. Finally I have a team instead of a partnership like Ms Piggy and me.
As I was pondering on what kind of girl I mean person I should look for, I came across a social escort agency website (I am not going to tell you why I am there) and saw this recruitment ad on their website, it was advertised as follows,
As I was pondering on what kind of girl I mean person I should look for, I came across a social escort agency website (I am not going to tell you why I am there) and saw this recruitment ad on their website, it was advertised as follows,
"We are continuously recruiting for exquisite, beautiful young ladies who wish to join us as an escort-model or traveling companion."
- You must be between 18 and 32 years old
- You must be well educated
- You must have a warm and sophisticated personality
- You must feel comfortable in a variety of social and business circle
- You must be well mannered and well spoken
The above ad is well written and the requirements are simple, so I have decided to use it in my own recruitment ad. As I do not have a budget to advertise in the papers, I will just use my blog to advertise. So here is how my ad looks like,
"We are recruiting for exquisite, beautiful young ladies who wish to join us as an merchant relations associate" (I know there isn't much change except the last few words, I mean this sentence is already beautifully crafted, what else can I change?)
::You must be between 18 and 25 years old (must be younger than me)
::You must be well educated (negotiable)
::You must have a warm and sophisticated personality (very important)
::You must feel comfortable in a variety of social and business circle (for work)
::You must be well mannered and well spoken (a must)
As you can see my requirements are pretty simple, so I should be able to find someone soon. Oh yah, we regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notify and if you are a guy wanting to apply, you can forget about it...
What I Want To Be When I Grow Up
I remember when I was kid, I wanted to be a Scientist and invent a time machine. I don't really know what is my reason for doing that, I just think it's cool.
When I was in secondary school, I wanted to be a pilot, a fighter Pilot to be exact. Maybe it's because I watch the movie"Top Gun" and think to myself "that's cool". However I heard you have to have prefect eyesight and have to be good at maths. Well, I have the former but I can't even count to save my life. On top of that, I am afraid of heights and speed. Ok I know, guys should like racing cars right, not me.
As I go into pre-university education, I wanted to be a Policeman. I mean I would love to catch bad guys and really kick their ass. Then I realise and heard from people that being a policeman isn't really about that, depending on what you are doing, it can be boring or political.
After National Service, I wanted to be a investment Banker, so I took a degree in banking and Finance. Realise that it's really boring and I still hate maths! Actually as long as the maths made sense to me, I am fine but I cannot really understand why we are studying C Maths, F Maths and all those that we never will apply in life. Met a career counsellor in school, told him that I wanted to go into the marketing, advertising & media, public relations industry. He told me I should just switch course and do something I like.
Finally I decided to switch to a Professional Diploma in Advertising and Design because I wanted to be a Copywriter. Come out to work and took it part time. Good move because by God's grace I actually got into a marketing department indirectly. Now I can be a Marketer too!
After going through my part time course, met some people from the advertising & media industry, took a module on media planning and found that media planning is so interesting! Now I want to be a Media Planner.
Waiting for the opportunity to happen...

I See People Everywhere
Apparently I got this knack of seeing familiar faces almost everyday. Of course I am not talking about colleagues which you will definitely see almost everyday but people whom you seldom meet, don't really keep in touch, have not met for a long time, ex-colleagues, ex-schoolmates, people you have attended courses or talks with etc...
I see them at the MRT stations, saw them at nightspots, bump into them at shopping malls, even going for IPPT (a compulsory fitness test for previously conscript soldiers) at Maju Camp, I actually had the same test date with my friend Mr Alien who stays at Pasir Ris. Today I was given a shock when Ms Kitty, an ex-colleague, "OEI" me at Burger King at International Plaza. She happens to be on off today and was meeting a friend. I even saw an ex-boyfriend of a ex-classmate twice at Tanjong Pagar, once standing right in front of me in the train, another time walking past me at an underpass.
Everything is such a concidence or maybe it's fate or maybe I can just pretend I don't see them.
Some say it's because I have many friends.
Some say it's because I am good at recognising faces.
I say I should not owe people any money,
Because I cannot run away......

Rest
I am thinking of taking a sabbatical...
Sabbatical means: any extended period of leave from one's customary work, esp. for rest, to acquire new skills or training, etc.
When I say sabbatical, I mean the meaning in bold, nope I am not acquiring a new skill, however if that makes for a good excuse I would take it.
Another meaning of sabbatical: a leave usually taken every seventh year (the length of leave is usually 1 year)
I have been living in this world for almost 26 years, which means I can take 3 years of leave, so it means my next sabbatical is when I am 28 years old. I am looking forward to that and for every 7 years we live in this world, we should take a year leave.
Argghhh... I keep having strange thoughts about resting...

How To Drive A Man Crazy
I have told some girls before on what drives a man crazy. In case you have missed what I have taught before, these are what drives a man crazy... (In case you are still wondering what I am talking about, I am talking about what you can wear to drive them nuts)
1. Off shoulder clothes, the lower the better
Apparently when women show their shoulders, it drives men nuts. That is why in dating websites for foreign brides market to Europeans, the women are told to wear off shoulder clothes in their photos.
2. Tight skirts with slits, the higher the better
Ever wonder why cheongsams are design the way they are? To keep cool? Noooo.... To attract men of course, the ancients have always scheme against the man race.
3. Absurdly high heel shoes with strap around the ankles
I must admit these shoes really look nice. Makes the legs look tone, however its just another trap to drive men crazy...
Ok... After crapping about the above, seriously ladies you can try them and you will notice more men will look at you. Trust me... And if you happen to know me and dress like that, and realise that I am not looking at you, that's because I have stronger will power than most men. If you don't believe, you can try wearing it in front of me.......

Happy For Nothing?
I had a sense of elation today... Strange but suddenly feel happy... Is something happy going to happen to me... I am listening to this korean song... It goes something like this "You can say... You can dream..."

Jobs Seekers Job Leavers
I cannot believe when Ms Pooh told me that she has stand her crazy boss for almost 2 years. How someone attain that kind of nirvana in the face of a boss who stalks you incessantly really buffers me. Kudos to Ms Pooh...
Yesterday I met up with my old schoolmates from my A Level days, somehow we lost touch for a period of time and suddenly we are meeting for gatherings. I think as we grew older, we need more friends or rather we don't really make new friends.
Of course when in school you talk about school and now we talk about work. Great to know Mr Nose found a job in a bank which named itself after a woman. He has been looking for a job. Coincidentally, Ms Pooh's boyfriend Mr Pooh got one at the same bank. Mr Sun is also looking for a job in the finance industry, Mr Alien will also soon be looking for one in the middle of the year after graduating. These are the job seekers.
Ms Pooh has left her job without one, Mr Alien's girlfriend Mrs Alien is contemplating to resign due to her boss not fulfilling his promise, Ms K of course has thought of resigning for months since starting work at her new place because of her boss too. These are the job leavers.
As you can see, everyone is thinking of getting a new job or leaving their current one even without finding a new one. And everytime someone says they want to leave, the question is "Is your boss a woman?" I am not saying a woman boss is not good but apparently bad working experiences occur with woman bosses and I had 2. Apparently the criteria for a woman boss to be crazy is that they have to be of certain age, no children and single. For my previous 2 bosses, they are married but their husbands are not with them, so its as good as they are single and of certain age.
You must be thinking that I am stereotyping people, well if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it must be a duck. Now did I just saw some signs that I am leaving too...
Note: My current boss is ok, however I have just encountered a crazy woman and of course some uncertainty.

Dream Dream Dream
I have decided to write my blog religiously, make 1 billion dollars out of it and then retire when I am 29. I have thought of being a poet, an artist drawing by the Singapore River, a novelist writing romance novels or a story teller. If I can't be a story teller, I will be a con-artist (I will not cheat women and old people), operate a gambling syndicate or become a drug lord.
Today I had another dream...
Ring Ring Ring
Pineapple Tat: "Hello."
Caller: "Hello, is this American Express?"
Pineapple Tat:" Errr... No... This is Dat Banking Syndicate. How did you get my number?"
Caller:"Oh sorry... Someone gave me your number, ok bye..."
Pineapple Tat told Superman and Ms Piggy: "Hey, someone called me and thought she is calling American Express... Ha, I wished..."
Before I left the Old Chinese Banking Company, the sages over there warn me about going to Dat Banking Syndicate. Their prophecies keep ringing in my ears....
Sage Number 1: "People who has went there, in the end came back here..."
Sage Number 2: "Huhhhh.... You are going over there ar..."
Sage Number 3: "Why are you going over there??"
Sage Number 4: "What! You are going over there..."
And plus 254 other sages prophezies the same thing but in different variations. I never doubt leaving the incense smoke filled temple though the people there are friendly and helpful. I mean I was going for gold... Besides I am a mercenary, I can't live with nice people...
I was reaching for a cave full of gold but I found out it was a store room full of boxes and paper. Everyone seem to be keeping to themselves, form their own tribes, are hermits or outcasts. The real cave full of gold was in another cave deeper in the ground, still I heard there was silent war. I am glad I am in this store room afterall because it could be worse...
Then I realised one thing, that I forgot to reply the person who ask me whether I want to go to American Express or did she ask me whether she is calling American Express? AHHHHH! I can't call her back because it is a private number...

A Really Lucky Draw
My company is known to give out X'mas lucky draw prizes like it's free, indeed it's free, they are sponsored by business partners. Prizes like cameras, handphones, air tickets, watches and hundred dollars of vouchers.
Since everyone is guaranteed a prize, naturally people are disappointed when they are being picked first cos the best prizes are announced last. I can't believe it when the lucky draw picker refuse to announced my name, I was never a big fan of lucky draw that is why I don't buy 4D or lottery. Yes you heard right, lottery is a lucky draw and I don't care if you think 6th sense (if you consider that a skill) and mathematical ability is required of it.
Now there are only 4 people left announced the lucky draw picker and they are all women's names... Huh?? Later I realised I am not in the draw due to a mix-up and the last few prizes are air tickets to far far away places like Japan and London. I wasn't disappointed seriously because these things are not mine in the first place.
When it was drawn to the last 2 prizes, the organiser suddenly realise that there are 6 people left and miraclously they decide to include everyone and....... I won 2 air tickets to New York....

Clean and Scrub, Spick and Span
I was cleaning up my forsaken room which I used to share with my father. I suspect that it must have been almost 2 years since I slept in that room, judging from the thickness of the dirt accumalated on the fan. I have this typical chinese habit of hoarding useless things like clips, 3 year old highlighters, paper bags that I never will use, university notes long long ago, boxes etc...
I think I took about 3 hours to clean just the fan, clear the cabinet and throw away all the useless stuffs, so that I will have more space to keep other useless stuffs... And I don't even know why I am writing about this... I guess packing and cleaning your house is theurapatic, it can make you feel happy and lighter; I am talking about it emotionally not your weight, so ladies you can try it. Sometimes losing weight don't really make you happy, only housework does...
