1) Oh yeah, the additional part is (which I shared in CG) thankgiving rather than testimony is about the company I'm in. (A drug development Services Company)
My friend told me, you must really thank God because He blessed you to be in this company. It is the biggest or most established CRO (Contract Research Organization)
Compared to the others. Not easy to get in at any time you like. Need right time, right opportunity and right opening with matching company needs and experience to offer . And rather usually they'll take in direct experienced personnel. But at least I got the opportunity to learn from scratch to be a Clinical Research Associate. Not that this is my dream or ambition, but at least when I reach that level in a few years, the role will put me in high demand (in this currrent niche CRO industy) and I can go anywhere..easily. Hopefully. Anyway, Right from the beginning, I've thank God for bringing me into this job area or clinical trials/studues which I never knew or am aware before. It is not a lab job. More of trial management. And secondly it is quite a good, expanding US MNC with good environment and bosses. And very near my home!
Last Fri 7th April the company celebrated its 10th Anniversary with guest of Honor Senior Minister of State (for Info.. … ..& Health) Dr. Balaji. S. Hightlight was ONLY speeches & than the lab tour for the clients, guest and media.
Deborah Tanner the VP for CLS was stunning. High profile, young and her speech was like those you hear on movie. For a while I thought.
Anyway, sense that my director who organize it is more concerned with personal & company publicity & profile projection. Anyway, she's the Client Relationship Director. Part of her job and good job done! Coz..today she sent out an email that we were featured in Channel News Asia and 5 local & regional newspapers.(ST, BT,Today,Lian He ZaoBao...)
2) Pay increment. Finally got a pay increment!
got a 4.5%. Oh ok.. Thanks.. Calculated, increment of ard 80 bucks. Ok.. Not too much to meet my 'hope'. Wait for promotion time then.
My collegue was tellling me it should be coming in March. Don't know what to expect. I really pray to God for a higher amount. I told God. Please give me like up to 2.5K salary coz that what I'll need. to be sufficiently happy and comfortable. (My fren/sis who went in earlier but another dept got ard that as a starting pay. But I got a very much lower pay. Less than 2k. I reminded myself not to compare then). But anway, with my current pay, it's just sufficiently enough for me to pay up everything, save 10%, and not much to spend lavishly at all.. At least on food. that's why I survived within my budget.
Few frens shared to me that that was actually a very high increment %. Huh.. Is it? Oh ok..
Better not go around complaining else ppl smack you. Coz usually the increment that ppl get is ard 2%-3+% only. Yeah, my boss told me previously it was like 3.0% +.
Oh ok.. Anyway, yeah thank God for my increment lah! With it, thought just nice for me to afford to sign-up for my broadband and a additional phone line at my aunts house for my use. But I'm afraid they might complain…so haven't acted on it. also, am I spending wisely..?? Think I'll really need to get the internet up soon though.. But once sign up 2 year contract, have to pay to commit 2 years to the payment.
3) My digi cam that my bro bought me (Olympus) from my migrated cousins showed a blurred viewing screen. And when I take picutures, it's also blurred..
Aiyah.. What happen, also threatening to end its life? My bro bought it for RM700-800 leh.. Not cheap to buy a junk.
So, gonna ask around and trouble shoot to get it fixed. Can't take my cactus photos for now..and can't find the old photo of it also! Disappereared!
Thanksgiving. I have a digi cam at all.. Hai. If it's spoilt maybe God'll bless me with my desired slimmer, smaller, lighter version! Don't like heavy stuffs!
Haha. :(
