I am already in the birthday mood, however, I still need to check the most important report of the division. OMG! How can I put my mind to it? It's a great real deal of struggle. Anyway, tomorrow's coming! And I am on half day leave! Yippie!

This post is titled Birthday Wishes, because I just want to say that I have so many birthday wishes to make. I made 2 during Birthday Celebration 1 - see I am not so greedy after all. But I suddenly had so many more to make. Can I make 3 different wishes with each cake's candles I have blown i.e. if I have 3 cakes, I am entitled to 9 different wishes?! Haha, see the greedy me! Well, but how many will come true? I must fight for what I want. I guess the government's right in that with more education, women are getting married later and having babies later. I totally agree. I have so much career plans in my head. On the other hand, I have marriage plans and plan B - Baby plan. How do I get them all to come true just so beautifully. Marriage plan and Baby plan is simple, it only requires 2 hands to clap. Hee. You know what I am talking about, it just between the husband-to-be and the wife-to-be. However, career and education plans is draining all my energy out.

Here, it always the piece of paper that matters so much. So much so that I still believe in working hard for a postgraduate certification. I believe this will greatly help in my career advancement. Only my mummy and my hubby-to-be understand that I cannot possibly slow down. It is just not me to sit and relax and watch. I want to be promoted, I want to be the best, I want to be praised, I want to be in the limelight, I want to know as much of my work inside out. However, such attitude could cause me to be a pain in the neck to all my other colleagues. And you never really know how exactly your bosses feel about you? You may have tot that you worked so hard, produced such good work, get praised at times (otherwise praises won't be that fantastic if they were always given) and boss actually notices that. However, they may not have seen the real picture if your colleagues were to add some condiments on your appraisal. I guess this is a fact in life. If you try to overtake and outperform your colleague who has been there for donkey ages, chances are they will slow you down in your promotion process. Oh well, you can see from here how much I desire a promotion. Anyway, it is not much of a difference if they could just increase my wage and bonus. I guess that will do the trick in keeping me with them. Otherwise, with the market so hot, there's always a better one out there!

Hee... so my birthday wishes. 9 should be more than enough. I am going to be one year older. Tada~ Till my next exciting post with Birthday Celebration - Part 2.

The DIVA ♥
