感恩

Till date, I have been with StarHub for 71 months and I am glad to say that I have been blessed with amazing colleagues.

Started off with the Teen Titans in 2010, it was a bunch of kids who just finished their A level. I was 22 at that point in time. Lots of activities after work, bowling, KTV, badminton. The youth in them made me feel younger.

Moving on to 2011 to 2014, social team and technical team. I went back to mixing around people around my age. With that, it was always drinking, poker and mahjong. Those activities helped me tide thru the dark days of having to work in the day and going to school at night during 2011 to 2012. Major stress relievers.

2014 June, I took a leap and made a transfer over to Marketing. Took on the role of Community Manager together with Howard. No fancy lunch, no out of the world or crazy activities. But there was non-stop knowledge transfer and sharing. I have to admit that I really learnt mega lot about social during those days with Darren. He is the guru and I'm honour to be able to learn from him.

May 2015, I decided to venture out of comfort zone and joined an ecommerce startup. Back to young folks again as my colleagues just came out uni not too long ago while I was like 27 years old. They are a bunch of crazy folks who work hard and party even harder. Can't really keep up with the pace and thus I took a 4 months break after my short 5-month stint with Lazada.

Feb 2016, back to GREENland again. This time round, took another leap of faith and went to do marketing instead of social media. Plus, it is a product that I seldom touch during my previous 55 months. Something that cater more to foreign workers and tourists. I have to say that the prepaid team is the MOST MOST MOST enjoyable team I have worked with. They made made my work easier. Great companions for both work and leisure. When problems arise, you can see the team coming together to resolve it. 有感動到. I simply love the feeling of people coming together and contribute towards a common goal. Plus, I have a boss who is willing to share her knowledge and experience; giving me the room to do things and make decision on my own. She doesn't micromanage at all. From day 1, she has been saying that we are a team,  she see me more like a team mate, a partner than her subordinate. Really thankful for having the opportunity to go back to a familiar place and having such wonderful team and boss.

Food Review: 545 Whampoa Prawn Noodles


I visited 545 Whampoa Prawn Noodles yesterday and last Sunday. It is one of the best prawn noodles I have eaten in Singapore. Check out their Facebook Page.



I ordered the $4 Soup version. As you can see, the serving is decent. I reached at around 11am and there was a short queue. However, it rather fast and I gotten my food in less than 15 minutes.

It is GODLIKE. You can taste the goodness of the prawn. The soup is rich and tasteful, but never saltish. It was the first time I finished the soup of Prawn Noodle, apart from the Hokkien Mee in Penang.

The ingredients are fresh and you would have to worry about wasting your calories when eating the prawn noodle. Every mouth is worth the effort.

You can order either the $3 or $4 version. Sometimes, they have the ultra big prawns (palm size) and they are available at $8/$10. I will definitely find time to try it (sold out yesterday).

Some history/background
This hawker stall is helmed by a young woman, Ruifang, spurred on by the need to carry her dad’s prawn noodles recipe into a new generation. The roots of prawn noodles in Ruifang’s family go as far back into the 1950s when her grandfather started selling it along the streets of Whampoa before it was even named so. In 1973, Whampoa Market was built. As her grandfather fell ill, Ruifang's Dad and Grandmother took a stall, and has been selling prawn noodles since then. The current stall at Whampoa Market is run by Ruifang's aunts. With the guidance of her dad, Ruifang is bringing bowls of tradition and history to Tekka Food Centre.

Address
Tekka Centre 665 Buffalo Road, #01-326, Singapore 210665

Opening Hours

From Green to Orange

The first reaction when people heard that I am jumping from the green camp to the orange camp is "WHY M1???".

Nah. I have joined Lazada.

I will never join another company in the same industry, especially M1.
Two reasons: 1) Too far. 2) They no proper sensing of social.

My first working week in Lazada has ended. I like the place and environment.

For someone who has been eating lunch alone most of the time during my days as a Community Manager, I welcome the idea of having lunch together with my new colleagues. The first week was an enjoyable experience.

Over at Lazada, I feel that I am able to dish out all my ideas and the whole social media is actually my playground. Unlike back in StarHub where I felt overshadowed by my boss. My playground back then was much smaller and I was actually taking care of the son of the 2nd wife. Those days are finally over.

With a much bigger playground and more liberty, I will be able to excel even further.

Anyway, my week ended on a high note when the FB contest that I did some changes to has finally begin to see some results. And it was way above the average engagement that the rest of the contests have achieved.

Do check out Lazada for our great offers. We are having attractive deals everyday!
