I may be missing but I have come back with a bang * chuckles * . I've posted many pictures and 3 videos . Do check them out peeps

To anon : Hey please don't say that . Frankly , I really appreciate the fact that you read my entry and air your thoughts on my tagboard . It certainly facilitates my very own thinking too . " Known is a drop ; unknown is an ocean " . Like what you mentioned in my tagboard , I am definitely speaking from the theory point of view due to the lack of practice in the business world . I mean it is vital to be both street and book smart and in order to do well in a business , it is equally as important to possess both the traits . Do read my entries and air your thoughts freely . I love to know another individual's point of view too . Thanks Anon !! .

Alright peeps . I know that I've been missing for a few days . I apologise for that . Ok , I've been mapping out plans to upgrade myself and have been attending a few courses too . I remember Prasath telling me once that this is the appropriate time to learn as much as I can . Yes , I totally agree with this . I've went to a plethora of firms for a myriad of interviews and I realised that it is of paramount importance to upgrade oneself to his/her zenith . Actually the latter may come across as an idealistic model . But then , I did realise that it is important to have that comparative advantage over the other competitors . I mean , all the employers in the world wide world look for something unique in every employees . When you have that comparative advantage then it will be hard for an employer to reject you .

Today for instance , I went to the Singapore Wine & Spirit Merchant's Association for a training conducted by Manpower for its client - Asia Pacific Breweries ( Singapore ) Pte Ltd . I am seriously learning soo much . Firstly , I didn't know that Asia Pacific Breweries ( APB ) is a public listed company ! . I mean we all think that Singapore International Airlines is one of the most profitable organisation but today I got to know so much about ABP .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia_Pacific_Breweries . It was a paid training which means I got paid for attending it . The training certainly expanded my horizon . I even had the chance to engage on a discussion with one of its directors and I asked him how ABP tackled foreign competitions - ie . Carlsberg and other cheap foreign beers and I got the answer . Wow .. business is amazing . Now , I can't wait to make money to start my own business .

Oh yes . I must say this now . I've been desperately trying my luck to become a Security Officer . Well , I decided to work as a Security Officer during this Vacation break . I mean where can you find a job where you do minimal stuff and earn alot ?. So yes . My friends and I enrolled ourselves in Chaseton Security & Investigation . So tomorrow I have to go for my training at Etann Security Management & Consultant . The best thing is , after the 5-day training , I will be officially NSRS / WSQ trained :D . Now this is definitely going to be an added advantage to myself . And it will certainly bring me to greater heights and a few steps closer to my alternative dream jobs . So now I technically have a backup if I don't get the job that I want in the future .

Before coming to an end , I just want to stress something here . I have my own life . My friends have their own lives . So I really don't get the idea why some people who are not closely associated with us , poking their noses into our affairs . I mean do you find any delight in doing so or is it like an Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder ( OCD ) ? . I don't even give a hoots about you , so why ? . Please have that decency to control your OCD . I blog about my own train of thoughts , about my life , about my friends , about the outing and etc . It's going to be mega memory lane for me . I mean I can always look back into time and reminisce those joyful moments . When you choose to read it , you can relate to your own life or etc . I mean its up to you but that tiny winy bit of dignity in you should stress your OCD to control its habits and not interfere into my friend's private life in any case when I do the blogging on a personal level . Or is your dignity a far cry away or your values have been disintegrated by your OCD ? . I really don't understand . So the next time , you jolly well learn how to control your tongue and your OCD . Thanks .

MERRY X'MAS to all my christian brothers , sisters and friends . And the season greetings to one and all . Have fun guys . Live like there's no tomorrow .

Ho Ho Ho !! X'mas fever !

I've got a multitude of things to discuss but I totally feel very disorganised . Hence , I won't be exploring each and every thought that I wanted to discuss but rather , lets see my flow of thoughts first . Circumstance may vary .. yea ?.


Oh yes , I've become particularly very busy with something . Honestly I rarely got time for myself . Haha , well my blog may be the testament to this . Yikes .


Yeah , pictures coming up . Do scroll down .


Before I begin , I would like to rant more about a certain discussion . I remembered typing an entry on purchasing a business during the bad times ( ie. recession period ) . Ok , when one is planning to invest in a business , yes , you need to look at a firm's financial records , goodwill , good returns and all . However investing in a business and purchasing a business is 2 different process .


For an example , when you decide to invest in a business , you can look at a few investment appraisal methods - namely : 1) Average Rate of Return ( ARR ) , 2) Net Present Value ( NPV ) and 3) Payback method . Frankly I have got no patience so I would go for the latter . But #2 is the best investment appraisal method because it accounts for the change in money value over the period you wait for your returns . Yes , but apart from knowing how to increase your market itself , you need to know a few issues too . I mean nothing seems as direct and simple . It have alot of unwritten work to be done .


While buying over a business is different . When the times are bad , you can literally see a few businesses closing down and a few others offering extremely cheap offers to potential buyers . If you're smart enough , you can tap onto those businesses . Buy them over . Use your own brain juice to come up with something extremely innovative . Get a cheaper alternative to publicise your business ( I know of a few certain ways ) , find the niche , segment the markets - target a few markets ( this is quite difficult ) and etc ... don't you think you will make easy money as the day progresses ? . I mean business is all about risk-taking . I was taught to take calculated risk . Calculated risk differs from taking risk itself .


Anyways , I was somewhat attached to this organisation called " Redwoods Advances " . Honestly , one of the best organisations that I ever been to . I totally love the company's culture . The manager - Adrian Chua is extremely innovative and smart . Redwoods Advances is actually one of Singapore's most profitable organisation . They help to market a few ' High-flying ' organisation's products . I don't wish to name those organisations for some reasons . So during the bad times , those high-flying companies pay a even more higher sum of money to Redwoods Advances to market their products . See I told you - this recession certainly benefits an array of other organisations like Redwoods Advances . Yeah .


The best thing is , alot of people were interviewed on the same day as me and I was apparently the lucky one to be chosen . I think I know the reasons why I was selected . So yes . I went for the training and many were very impressed with my answers . I mean I love Economics and Management of Business and I love those subjects because I know that they are highly applicable to the real world . So most of my answers were related to those subjects . Haha .. since I had my own knowledge , I could easily understand a few complicated stuff and provide answers . And it's very pleasing when your trainers call you " wah , you're very smart " or " smart girl " . Hopefully this will show up in my results . I am freaking scared for my A levels results .


But the sad part is , I am not going to continue working there . Firstly , I was sent by Redwoods Advances to represent HSBC bank to help increase their market sales of credit cards during events and road shows . Although I hate striking conversations with complete strangers , I decided to give it a shot and I did approach as many as 40 customers to sell those cards . Obviously most would turn you down flatly . And I realised that it is definitely going to be an uphill task to get people to buy credit cards during the recession period . And -- basic salary + commission + bonus = to my accumulated salary . I know that my accumulated salary would be much lower as compared to others if I don't get enough commission and bonus . And I seriously got no hope of increasing my commission and bonus anytime now . And I'm definitely not going to be happy with my basic salary . I am planning to earn as much as possible for some very strange reason . I mean apart from personal expenses , I want to save up alot .. i mean this recession is forecasted to drag for the next 3 years . I hope you get the drift . So I need to save up alot if I want to be business-minded .


Sometimes , its very tiring . But no matter what , life has to go on .




The working attire .

Ok guys , read this . Someone wrote this beautiful poem for me . ( Guess who :D )


Vithiya - vinodamanavale
Vithiya - samanavale
Ennai konjam matrinai
Enn idayathae idam matrinai.
Un parvai vinnodam
Unn pecchu vithiyaasam.
Unnodu naan Kalathitaal,
maarividum enn vilaasam,
sorgathil indru-muthal unnodu siraivaasam.


Isn't it romantic ?! . Ok , my darling Godbrother - Logesh wrote it for me . I love the words he used and its really very amazing . Wow ..


Well , I need to ace at multi-tasking . Frankly, there's a myriad of things to handle and it's highly expected for one to have that comparative advantage over the other . Well , everyone who works at the corporate level would agree with me . What can we expect if we are to perish in this highly-competitive world ? . ( seriously , let alone the concurrent Global Financial Recession aka Credit Crunch ) .


Alright , they aired the repeated telecast of Endrandrum Punnagai and I managed to record my part of my TV . So here it is . Oh yes , I had someone asking me " OMG Vitz , is that you on TV now " . Haha .





Issues


1) After reading this particular article on the papers , I felt a stab of fear in my chest . I literally became paralysed after reading it . Apparently , those who graduate from Universities next year wouldn't be able to look for a job that has high pay . They will have to settle for a low paying job and in fact it will become an herculean task for graduates to look for a job . Thus , many graduates have decided to opt for higher studies like doing their Masters and then by the time they end their studies the bleak job market would be improved .


I find this scary . We need the BULLISH market . Can everything please appear more BULLISH / optimistic . Thats our prayer .


2) Oh yes , apparently many entrepreneurs and business-minded individuals reckon that this is the most profit-making moment . Yes . I am not joking . I met an individual who told me that many smart businessmen would normally wait for those periods when the entire market is badly hit and thus invest in many business . Ok I can understand their motives .


Ok . For an example , lets imagine this . Project A - due to the current global recession is at $8000 . Lets say you have the money to buy over this Project A . So you pay $8000 for it . Then with your own brains , you do a few changes here and there . You attain loans at lower interest rate and develop your business . So when the market is more optimistic you can overturn the $8000 business into a $30.5 Million dollar business . Now I am not joking about this .


But the challenge remains on how well you know about businesses . You should know how to play your cards . In fact this is a very smart move . But what can I do now ? . I don't even have that much of savings . Haha , if only I have a bloody $10K in my bank , I can purchase a business and overturn it into a money-making machine . Yea .


3) Alright guys . I have finally opened FACEBOOK . Haha , anyways I haven't add any pictures yet , so please make do with it man . And I am updating my Friendster too . So yes .


4) BEST AND HAPPY NEWS guys . GAYATRI DEVI , LOGESH and MATTHEW got into the Super Singer 2009 competition. So now they will be into the competition . I really want them to go until FINALS and get the top 3 . Oh yes , I am also supporting REBECCA AKKA . Yeah !!

This post is going to be long . Full of my rants and the much-awaited entry on the overnight BBQ and cool pictures of it . Do scroll down :)


Hmm , nice . I've got interesting characters tagging my tagboard . As I have mentioned , it's all entertainment . Yes do go on . You make my tagboard even more electrifying man . Good job :) . Anyways , it's always good have opinions about something . Frankly , how often do you come across people who make solid opinions about certain things ? . I have drawn this deduction that some cheap mere creatures tend to undermine society's growing educational improvements and make us look like as though we're still at rock bottom . Grow up imbeciles , we need thinking and matured individuals . Gosh !


Anyways , I am seriously in love with the latest tamil flick called " Vaaranam Aayiram " . Wonderful movie . I'm seriously amazed with the director's choice of scripting such an unconventional concept for a tamil movie . My salutes for you dude ! . Needless to say , I am really really really impressed with Surya's and Simran's acting . Amazing !! . Wow !! . I have watched this movie at least 5 times and I am still going to catch it on the cinemas . What a mindblowing concept !


Oh yes , I am completely head over heels with SATISH . This guy danced for the "June Ponal" videoclip and he's back in Vaaranam Aayiram . Anyways he came to Singapore recently and danced in the Vasantham Carnival show . Omg .... I am sooooooooooooooooooo in love with this guy . The freaking first time you see a tamil actor breaking . Now check MY MAN out . He's wearing a white shirt with a navy blue vest .





BBQ OVERNIGHT


We were all counting down for the 29th . Frankly we had a bomb of a time . I was enjoying every inch of it . I mean you are literally surrounded by a bunch of extremely close ones . So yes . Silas , Paul and Nesh celebrated their 21st together and all 3 of them invited their close ones . So trust me , we had a HUGE HUGE group of people there . The best thing is , everything went in our stride and yes , we had no ridiculous interventions . It was like an ideal night for all of us . One of the most rarest time where I truly enjoyed a beach outing .


We had our OLI OLI finals in the afternoon and soon after we rushed to ECP . Gayatri Akka won the competition with Kalaivani akka clinching 2nd and Vinod clinching 3rd . Hema came in 4th , Gopi came in 5th and Keerthana with 6th . Frankly the competition was damn tough . Kudos to all my friends :)
