Upscaled frustrations
I am appalled by the inefficiency allowed to breed in today's time and age. This term should have been extinct by now given how immensely fast-paced our society sprints.
Let me lay out my frustrations.
An IT issue from day 1 persisted into the 4th month, due not by my negligence but by the incapable team of IT 'experts'. If it had been ridden from day 1, user frustration would have lessen, hence derived higher work satisfaction. Physiological cost aside, consider the level of productivity that have been compromised.
What I am most frustrated is the "no wrong door policy". Yes, it's so well established in the big picture, but in the micro level, it has failed miserably. You will be surprised how a request to resolve an IT issue will get you into a state of confusion with the departments involved pushing you in all directions possible. Sometimes I really feel like shouting some sense "Damn it! I don't care who you have tasked to fix this; you are the IT department so you jolly well get someone to fix it and don't make me go around the world looking for help!"
Along this line, is another issue I experienced that is in utter disappointment I am saying...
It's ridiculous how I can't even get an envelope that do not ridicule our corporate image. Before you go talking about upholding integrity and all, please knock some common sense in your people!
That's all the rants I have in a day.

It is a little late when I decide to start this blog, but it was also at this time when I believe that blogging will benefit me in the long run. There have been many instances where my tiny brain was so overwhelmed with thoughts and feelings that it was on the verge of explosion, regardless whether they are positively or negatively charged. Bottled feelings, as most said, aren't exactly healthy. Then I chanced upon several of my friends' (both real and virtual) blogs and realised that it could be a perfect avenue to unleash and reflect upon all these fragments of memory, emotions and thoughts.
My mystery: why do some people choose to display all their unhappiness, anger and frustration externally, and transfer them to the lovely people around. Many a times, a simple smile to the people you communicate with makes the cold world seemed much more live-able. In Singapore, it is difficult to see a smile on one's face, it is even more rare to have one to smile to you. This clearly reflects why she is ranked high in the unhappiness index. I wonder...is it really that demanding for one to give even the slightest smile or warmth to the people around. Perhaps, we are all just too obsessed with personal achievements and plagued by the underlying jealousy and competition in this 'dog-eat-dog' country.
about your site
Flavours of Life will be where I document some of those human mysteries I observe in my surroundings which most choose to ignore. It can be extremely interesting to stop, observe and reflect on them because you may be surprised by the sort of enlightenment one can gather from them. It is also here where I seek mental relaxation as it provides me with an escapism from the harsh reality. I will also use this space to immerse in my obsession for entertainment (Well, I can't quite move away from this since it is one of my main source of virtual happiness)
