Wedding Show @ Seb's Bistro - 24Mar2012 - Chocolate Theme!

Came across this in a mailer. Think it is great for couples who do not want to follow the usual chinese wedding style. But anyways, it is good to take a look.

Who wants to get married on 12/12/12 and be sponsored for it!

I remember on 10 October 2010, we got married legally (not the church wedding) at Sentosa. It was a mass wedding of sorts. The 10.10.10 date was auspicious and the day was a blast.

The 12.12.12 date will definitely be a super blast because it will be the last one too. The first event riding on this I see is this wedding sponsorship. I am sure there will be more, like a mass wedding event again.

Rethinking Employment

6 years into working life.

If I am set to retire at 65, i am left with 83% of a career left. But that depends on how I see it, a means to be gainfully employed and have a "purpose in work" or just a means to bring the dough home for the family. Ideally, it needs to be both. Just as being Christian needs to pervade all parts of one life, the meaning of a job affects the dough, family, friends, personal health etc.

The recent months has left me contemplating about the meaning of a job to me - the whole works of  learning, what i will be 5 years down the road, of loyalty to an organisation etc. Seeking for third party advice, I have spoken to numerous friends with varying answers. Of which the most common is "you have to search deeper". I know that, but it clarifies to have people bounce it back to you.

Today I asked Uncle Google for some directions and got some interesting information which I thought could provide more materials for self-reflection.


Top 10 Happiest Jobs
One job that stood out is Financial Service Sales Agents, which I think it means Wealth Relationship Manager?
But the commonalities revolve around meaning and relationships more than money.

Top 10 Hated Jobs
Commonalities are lack of progression, boredom, odd/long working hours, lack of appreciation/understanding, lack of direction.

Asiaone's article on the top 20 best companies to work at hits the nail spot on when it says that work life balance is the most important attribute.

Well, if one is to look for another job, analytically speaking, one should aim for
1. An industry with high profit margins for the income portion
2. A top recognised company to look good in future resumes
3. A job that has "work life balance"

A good reference from Yahoo News. Though I am in one of them, criterion (3) which is important to me is starting to fail badly. It is purely a matter of circumstance and seen relatively. If one does not have a family, possibly long hours are ok.

Well, it is something to mull about more.

Consulting Uncle Google just gives me more information. I need to consult my heavenly boss for a clearer direction on what I should do for my family and myself.


*yea.. no time to even blog.
