Office work.
This post is going to be about my experiences, learning lessons and insights so far in Vtech Equipment. Its gonna sound pretty boring but i hope my thoughts and insights would be able to spice it up.=)
ok, here it goes..
Firstly, I would like to comment and appreciate those staff who genuinely believed in Vtech, not just for their financial returns but more importantly putting their faith and hopes on this company.Because Vtech would not be so successful without your Love for the company. (realise i didn't say hard work?One can be hardworking but with no faith in the company? Its equals to nothing).
Vtech Equipment is essentially an engineering company which caters for services in the marine, gas, oil and petrochemical industry. We basically act as a middleman/middle-company to find suppliers for our various end users. Majority of our products are sold to Vietnam, as it has been our main focus of our business. Why Vietnam you may ask, most probably because of the potential prospects which one can invest in or probably due to the openness and transparency of the economy. But from what i heard from the person who has dedicated most time, effort and heart into this business, it was not as easy as it seems. Nevertheless, it was still possible to do business with them as they are willing to accept and compromise their deals.
I personally believe that choosing Vietnam was a good choice, though Vietnam's economy is small, there are a wide range of opportunities available for companies like Vtech. The concentration on a few Clients in Vietnam, for instance Vietsovpetro, has been beneficial for both Vtech and our clients. Of course, the coordinators from both parties have to run the extra mile in-order to achieve even greater support from each other. Right now, it seems that only 1 person is doing most of the coordination between the Vietnam and Singapore office. I really think Vtech should expose their staff to the real corporate world in Vietnam and impart more inter-personal skills by consciously teaching them. But first, the staff should be willing and interested. If you think this sounds juvenile, that teaching and consciously imparting these skills are not necessary easy tasks, think again, about the positive benefits Vtech can reap overtime.
I have been with Vtech for almost 2 months, but frankly speaking I have not done alot. BUt, if you asked if i've learnt anything? I'll gladly pour out to you what i've learnt. Majority of my time spent in the office is sitting in front of the PC, reading emails, filling up excel sheets for inquires..sending emails..Severely Passive job. Not really my ideal choice.
However, as a first timer, I have learnt a few procedures on how projects are executed and i found them pretty exciting because i'm doing it for the first time. Honestly speaking, if I were to work here, I will only stay for 3-4years the most. Essentially because of the job prospect here is monotonous and cyclical. I will get bored of it after a while.
From my observations on the staff in Vtech over this short period, I have concluded 3 reasons why they choose to pursue their career in Vtech.
1) Some people choose Vtech because of the relatively attractive financial remuneration to support themselves and their loved ones.
2) Some people want to pursue their passion in the engineering sector
3) and Some people just feel contented and lucky to have found a job which they don't mind spending their time and effort in.
I find people who choose reason 1 practical and realistic. I find people who choose reason 2 true to their hearts. I find people who choose reason 3 lazy and unimaginative.(god bless these people)

My weekend
=) YAY! i got a new PHONE!! LG cookie rocks! ahaha.. love it. It functions just like an I phone just that it has less applications and lower storage space. I sound like a secondary school kid chasing after latest handphones.=) (listening to teardrops on my guitar now)
Right now, i'm at dad's offcice finally doing something useful.
Yea! LAst weekend was great cause of g12 conference. It was superb, best out of the rest i think. Maybe becauase i feel god has removed the unclarity and instilled the old method of the church's vision. The explanations and illustrations by both pastors were superb. I believe not just me but most of ppl in the cell were responsive to the altar call and whatever was preached. I learnt major lessons on how to set up a cell, maintain and the significance of it all. STill gotta chew on it more. But i've really understood the g12 vision much more and i've learnt meaningful and purposeful lessons..
First- Your significance lies in GOD not in ur Qualifications, ppl u save, lives u transform..etc.
Second- To carry the cross is to carry the BLESSINGS of GOD and not BURDENS. (put on his crown)
Third- The blo0d of jesus washes all inquity in ur life, ur past pains, accusations, condemnation and regrets.
Fourth- ANYONE can be a g12 leader, As long one is willing to reamain humble always, faithful to GOD, faithful to my senior pastor and faithful to the church.Willingness to learn and be used by GOD.
Hmm. i think thats all for now. I still have many verses to chew on! Thank GOD for this conference I was truly and wonderfully blessed=)
BLESS!

THE month of MARCH
HEY!! i've not blogged for a long time i KNOW.
REcENTLY I've been up with alot of things to do! Such as tutoring, meeting up and catching up with friends. Right now i'm at my dad's office, getting to know more about his business and how it functions. I was thinkin of signing up for a waitress job, but my dad insisted that joining his company for a short period of time would be a much better and enriching idea. Since i didn't want to do anything impulsively, i agreed. I think it would be a good idea to get to know how has his business been so far. Apart from all these busy schdules,I have also been trying to allocate MORE time to read. READING is always a good investment.=) same goes with education i think..
About my education route for august, I was thinking of NUS or SMU social sciences courses.Whether i can get shortlisted lies in the hands of GOD. sounds cliche, but i truly mean it. I told GOD already i'll give him my everything and alll i have to live now is to live for him alone. This can free me from the bondage of depending on the administrators of the repective unis i intend to apply. LOVE HIM=) thank you lord.
Last week's service was just right for me specially catered for me i suppose. HAHA. CAuse the holy spirit really intervene into the mass of thoughts and told me personally that i dont have to be afraid of the future. Cause all i have to do now is to live for him alone. He's all i need in life. NOt Qualifications, not favour from others not money BUt him alone. Thats all i have to do.=)
CAn't wait for the conference!!!=) gonna be soo sooooo exciting.
okay. i gtg for tuition now! byebey!
