Hum...
Quite long time never drop by and write “nonsense” at life@ANL!!
Not saying I am busy or something. Is I have no idea or any conception what to write…
My mind just blank…
Anyway, Feb almost ends…
Wish to say something and express some “nonsense” feeling over…
First, to my best brother, Mr. M (a.k.a Hippo, Mat don don, Himalayas Mountain and blah blah blah…)
Really enjoy all the moment work with you in ANL when you transfer back from school.
Back to back sitting together work all night long…
Traveling from one school to another…
Rushing all the “nonsense” project…
Never compromise with “last minute” shit assignment…
And…
Last two people who walk out from the office almost in every night.
This is all the moment we been work together for the pass whole year!!
I wish to thank you…
Thank you very much you teach me a lot. (Especially with those stupid sessions in VJC IP1 ICC web training!!) LoL
Thank you very much for all your support and guidance when we work together… (Especially all my stupid “English” and grammar problem.) LoL
I appreciate all the respect that you give and shown me when we fight for each other for everyday in ANL.
In PET team, you and me just like band of brothers… we go through all the hardship from one another to build up the PET team. Step by step, one step at the time.
Without you, PET team will never have a great success in logistic and planning for the operations in 2006.
You are one of the “Pioneers” in PET team. I really appreciate I have you to work in my team!!
I still remember we have a long chat when we sitting down near Sim Lim Sq, after the super heavy BK dinner. You do ask me before for opinion for you to have another career path. I was never expecting you just tender you resignation so soon. Way before we can spend more time together until end of the year.
For you, I just wish you all the best for your upcoming career path. Enjoy all the moment when you work with your passion.
Never the less, just enjoy and have “fun” all the way!!
Last, please don’t forget, you still have your “Uncle Wong” support you at your back.
I always consider you still part of the team. Part of the “Band of Brother”!! :-)

Brothers & Sisters...
Yup, would be nice if local companies practice such talent retention. Anyway, it's been out of this world having to spend two years plus of my life with such crazy people i call family each and every day and for that i can't say how grateful i am.
It's moment like when you are stuck outside your own office room because someone farted and stink the entire room....moments like this you will reflect back and remember the faces of the people you shared the laughter with waiting outside for the tornado to pass. *sigh* wonderful`
By the way, thanks to Astley for spraying the insectiside and spilling clorox on the carpet in order to fumigate the situation. Haha. Thanks Felix for accompanying me in finishing the kacangz while waiting for Astley to put out the fire. Err..or maybe smell?! Lol.
Anyway, this coming thursday is movie night again. Please come anyone who has nothing better to do. Oh My God...that's us!!! wahaha.
This Tuesday no soccer tho...cos eve of V day. I think can take a break on that day. Shall continue the street soccer after CNY.

S'pore firm's lessons in talent retention
It's actually quite sadding to hear such events happening in office.
What's more, felt so distant when more and more folks and friends left ANL to seek better and greener pastures.
Why can't ANL learn to retent it's good talents?

S'pore firm's lessons in talent retention
Jasmine Yin and Gracia Chiang

It does not set targets for its staff.
.
Neither does it like shopping around much for talent, preferring instead to hire only for junior positions and to move its existing staff — half of whom have less than three years of experience — to take on more senior positions within the organisation.
.
This is no mean feat, given that Singapore-based firm Olam International, which transacts multi-billion-dollar deals in agricultural raw materials, has 300 managers spread across 52 countries.
.
"We don't have a target-setting exercise. We'll give you whatever you ask for in terms of resources. What we expect from you is a certain bottom line from these resources. You (have to) work like an entrepreneur," its human resources (HR) vice-president Joydeep Bose said.
.
For its efforts in retaining talent — an increasingly difficult task for companies — Olam has been nominated in the "Best Retention Strategies" category at the HRM Awards 2007 to be held tonight.
.
It is the sole local firm to be nominated in the category, alongside multi-nationals such as Barclays Capital Global Services, FedEx, Hewlett-Packard and IBM.
.
Local firms fared better in the "Best Mature Workforce Practices" category.
.
Save for McDonald's, the remaining four nominees are either homegrown private or government-linked companies, including Dairy Farm, SembCorp Environmental Management, SingHealth and Alexandra Hospital.
.
At SingHealth, 70 per cent of its 350-strong retiring workforce has stayed on beyond the retirement age of 62 years old. Eighteen per cent of its 14,000 employees are aged over 50.
.
New jobs were created for mature workers, such as the Singapore General Hospital's Patient Relations Ambassadors, who interact with patients and obtain their feedback. And equipment like hoists to transport patients and magnifiers for easier reading of medicine bottle labels were purchased to ease the workload for these employees.
.
SingHealth's group HR director Geraldine Lee said: "What we're doing more is preparing people for re-employment beyond retirement. The healthcare sector really has people with good skills and these skills can be transferable through a lifetime. It's a waste if we do not tap their skills."
