i want to say
Humans are ugly. They make it beautiful by a curse. A curse that only can be use by the most special human. But they're plenty of it. Flowers is the one of the ingredients to make it. Be aware, just be what you are.
Hello love! I’m Jalyn. Currently I am taking my degree from Murdoch Univerity - BaCommerce HRM. I was happily studying at Nanyang Polytechnic; Dip in Business Mgmt, Human Resource Mgmt. I’m finally 21 years old! and man, i feel old. I was born on a Friday. Friday, 29th March 1991. It was Good Friday! But am I responsible for lightening other people’s burden and relieve their sins? I don’t think I am a noble soul. Sorry! But I want to live the life of a poetic soul. People always say I’m totally random, lame and stuff. I Sooooooo totally agree! A true poetic lame and random soul. Currently I'm trying to steer my life back in order. Give me some time. But still, Thank you people for reading this. I know you want to know me better. That goes without saying. But I would also want to know myself better at the same time too! And I want to say; i love you! and Thank you very much!.

title: #118. Hello and Goodbye Hello there!
This will be my final post on this blog as I'm MOVING! I have decided that I'm going to re-launch my blog in a new site, new perspective and new direction. Life is too boring if it's just work and home. Let's make this happen! Thanks & Goodbye, (for now) Jalyn |

hello there beaus and belles. it has been officially more than a year since i last blogged in this blog.
i suppose it's mainly because i can't really blog about things which i initially had set up this blog for. couple years back when i decided to move from my previous blog to this. it was mainly motivated by the fact that i'm graduating and wants to record down what are the challenges a fresh diploma graduate will face upon entering working life. however as i started working, you start to realise that you cannot really talk about your job freely on the internet. especially in my line (recruitment / consulting) where confidentiality is crucial. from there, main purpose of this blog couldn't be fulfilled. but right now, under the influence of the internet (and a new macbook) - i would like to start all these all over again! perhaps i will ; 1. start a youtube channel - i.e. film videos?! 2. re-open this blog / start a new blog. -maybe the new blog should be more 'educational' 3. set-up online shop?!?!?! 4. get famous. -nah la. just kidding. all these is purely for fun and having a 'life' out of my job if i'm really executing the above mentioned. lots of planning will be required! i hope i can at least fulfil at least 2 of those! a large part of motivation is for personal growth. i know this term can be vague or pretentious. but i want to be able to look back and be able to see some achieve that is not just work related. life shouldn't just be all work right. (probably bosses wouldn't be too happy reading stuff like this~) wish me luck! jalyn. |

title: #116. its one month and twenty four days into the year... and i am really confuse with my life. i have been into a thing which i thought its something i always wanted. now, it feels totally different. perhaps coming from really established mnc in the past, there are always professional systems in place and we are always looking at moving forward in our processes. but now i suddenly feels detached. another reason being is most slightly the location which is down right ulu. either that, or i'm too spoilt in the past. no further comments.
i shall update soon, Jalyn.  |

title: #115. HELLO MY GOOD PEOPLE
HELLO! it have been a while since i blogged again. time flies. it's January 2013 now. well end of January to be specific. so i thought i would blog today, just the formalities to start the new year. A few things that i would touch on today;
2012
so 2012 overall has been a good year. many adventures (minus traveling). started a new job in may 2012, went to companies to be onsite and having insights on how human resource functions in a company. taking cab to and fro work everyday for three months (yes, a total dream come true) and working in raffles place.
raffles place had been both a dream an a nightmare. i remember once going home after working overtime. the sun is already down and walkways are lighted just by the street lamps. i was walking towards the train station and instinctively looked up - i smiled to myself. at that time, i have just return from working at my client's site at woodlands industrial area. so having transited to an area with civilization was in fact different and well missed. primarily because i was working in orchard road, where streets are always full of people, beautiful lights during christmas and shopping just a doorstep away up until i left my job then. what made me smile? firstly, its the beautiful skyline. secondly, the sense of accomplishment working in the bcd area. as though I'm like really so professional. thirdly, it was a new job, in an MNC, good people, good environment, and all shits i have been through to get there. i guess it's really the sense of accomplishment overall.
as you may have know from the previous post (and above), i have started a job in May 2012. unfortunate to say, i have just left my job after 8 months. i had yet update my linked in profile as my notice should be served till february. now, i am clearing my pathetically minimum amount of annual leave i have till i start work next monday. so i am going to have a plan and objectives for the four days off.
having said the above, i have accepted a job with a local retail company as a hr executive. something i have always wanted since graduation in march 2011, so i guess february 2013 isn't too late either?
 
having studied about human resource for the past 4-5 years and dealing with hr practitioner for the past 2 years makes me really want to be one of them. thankful that my new employer decides to hire me. and i really hope i will stay in this job for long. or at least a good period of time.
    
as the picture suggest, now for my 2013 resolution. (you may see very familiar ones.)
HAH! looking back the last resolution i did was in 2011, didn't even do any for 2012 (and only two blog posts in the year) so here is my twenty thirteen;
number one i will not only try my best, but do my best. always.
i will be responsible for my own actions and live life like its the last of my life.
number two be kind to everyone. less gossips and politics. focus on the right things
number three live healthy. control on the junk input and consider more output. pick up a sport. eat more fruits. drink more plain water. sounds basic, but trust me - it's difficult. and maybe skip dinner at least once a week. i.e. eat lesser.
number four learn new things. (refer to above about learning a new sport.) degree program is ending in april. i should pick up new things. some suggestions;
number five manage my finance well. i will still be in debt due to my university course. so i shall spend my money wisely. remind myself of the amount of things i have thrown away while packing the house for renovation. all the useless and redundant things bought that ended up lying around collecting dust. buy only when you need. and keep your things organize do you wouldn't end up losing stuffs.
and all that should be my resolution for the year. i can expect most thing to kick in only in the later half of the year. none the less, still a good job done!
i shall update soon. ta!
Jalyn.

title: #114. praise the lord?
everyone is talking about CHC issue. so i shall make just one humble statement. well, can i murder a person and have god/jesus relieve my sins and i don't have to be punish by law? or will law judge people based on their race or religion. no right? so why still talk rubbish. -- okay fine, this is more than one statement.
anyway, i wanted to blog about my neighbors from a particular country. they really have a very strong smell. not that they smell 'bad'. but their perfume is really strong. whenever she goes out or comes back, we can definitely smell her from our house. but her perfume is not really to my liking, so it's still kind of irritating i suppose. but whatever. i hope they don't move out till a later time. cause they next time they want to sell their flat, i hope i have the money to buy it. but that wouldn't be possible anytime soon.
that's about everything i want to talk about now.
till we talk again~
Jalyn. |

anyway, guess what! i joined my new company in May (29th May 2012 to be specific)! so what's up with The Job?! well, things have been moving on rather smoothly. although the location is far, but decent benefits is provided to compensate that so i'm cool! (: due to confidentiality i can't really talk abut what i am doing currently. but i guess it's still alright since i have NEVER blogged about any parts of my Old Job before~ i was reading xiaxue's blogpost about 'The Secret' here. i shall not talk about the content. you can either go read her post on the abstract or go get the book and read it (which is what i am planning to do). although the review of the book isn't that positive and people are saying that it is overrated just because Oprah recommends that book in her show. But what i feel is that although the things talked about are pretty basic and even common sense, but it really takes someone or something to reinforce the idea in. Like for example, i already know i have to be thankful for things and believe in karma because what goes around, come back around. If you are negative, you will only attract negative stuff. But so what. I haven't really 'implement' it before~ so now, every morning i will remind myself of what i shall be thankful on. I'm still shy on this (as if!) so i shall not publicly post my gratitudes. (: so now, i'm thinking to tattoo a cursive thanks on my left wrist. but i'm still thinking about it. but the next time round i go for my tattoo, i will have multiple small tats all over. :D looking forward! maybe next year same time i will go for my second round of tats! shall be a short post today. update soon! love;JALYN |

title: #112. Smart Phones
Hellio! and yes, today's subject is on smartphones. Well, it's the time of the year again, and I am looking into getting a new phone. I'm currently using my iPhone 3GS 32Gb. and its officially the first phone that lasted for more than a year. to be exact 1 year 8 months? yes, its the longest. thanks to the fact there there are loads of interesting and new things to download from the app store and the love of all the phone casing i ever had! speaking of which, i have loads and loads of them! :D so im hoping my next phone would be one which i could get their casings easily as well. if you're thinking, why still need to research and think? why not just iPhone? THATS MY POINT! NO MORE IPHONE! despite all the goodness, i'm tired of it! maybe the phone after the next i will purchase from apple again. but for my next phone? NO! i'm sick of always waiting for Apple to release the state of the art phone and stuff. furthermore, was really disappointed with the 4S. i mean, seriously! a 4S?! but anyway, i have in mind 3 phones of my choice already. here goes;
Samsung Galaxy Note
first and for most the 5.3 massive screen is massive! really cool with awesome screen resolution, colours and it operating in Android Gingerbread (i think in singapore too?). most android are still on ice cream sandwich. but well, it can still be updated so no worries. next is the camera, looks awesome but i have doubt with the flash as it doesn't look as pro! (as if that's a good enough reason) on the whole, it looks awesome, and as an Android, it shouldn't be that bad. just hope that the apps in the market are all Gingerbread compatible. lastly, the marketing on samsung website made me wanna buy the phone even more! good marketing there! you bought me! but the con is that according to SingTel Shop online, they do not have this in stock!!! i wonder when it will ever be here. but its alright, i will call them up when my contract is near to expiring!
Samsung Galaxy SII
[image unavaliable]
yes, second place goes to Samsung Galaxy series again! It's the Galaxy SII! as awesome as the Note, but just a little smaller. i didnt really research much into this phone. but i believe its the best after iPhone. :)
HTC Sensation XL
Like what the name suggest, this isnt small on size either. of course, comparing to Note it's definitely way smaller. maybe because it's just meant to be a phone! like a duh~ somewhere deep in there i still have a soft spot for HTC's phone! well, maybe because my first awesome smart phone was a HTC! go google " first android phone" and you will find mine! awesome-much. and the interface in this phone is totally cool! "it's so fluffy i'm die!" okay, totally random.
concluding, all phones are out of stock except for 3rd choice. dang!
update soon! Jalyn

title: #111. L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
;and yes. its the song by Noah and the whales. and so; life goes on.
life had been a complete mess lately. i guess with so many commitments things can really get messy and out of hand. so probably 9 months ago, i started in my new day job. things was cool. but i just felt that it isn't the right place. not just yet. but still, nonetheless, i wouldn't regret my decision. i never will. this was a good opportunity but probably for the wrong person. things have been so demotivating. if its not for the good people here, i would have been gone by now.
;just ended my exams from school. it was shit. not that the paper was difficult. it was in fact easy. easy for those who studied. it clashed with my sister's wedding. so although its none of my business, i wasn't in the mood and didn't have the quality time to study! somehow, all her stuff was always interfering with my school stuff. first it was the law test, now its my finals. i don't need a god grade, just a pass this time! seriously~ i was even clueless for the multiple choice questions! praying hard. because i don't want to see the same lecturer for the same modules ever again.
;anyway, the last time i written a post, it was in july, 5 months ago. and the post before that was a new year post. and soon i will be expecting my next post to be a new year resolution posting again. time flies isn't it. it was yesterday that i went to hong kong, thailand, started work, attended graduation and stuff.
;its december now. suppose to be a happy month for all. i will be happy too. (:
;i like working in orchard road. because even if you work late, when you are going home there will be the christmas lighting greeting you and lit the path back home. i would even walk to the next station to take a train back home just to enjoy the lights. another reason why i like working here. because its close to home. XD 25 minutes if i were to get here by public transport, 15 minutes by car. BUT! if there's an opportunity else where, i will go for it. even if its in tuas. i mean we should all look at the big picture right. if its worth while, i'm willing to relocate for the company. but of course under the expense of the company right. i'm not rich.
;i'm dying to go overseas right now. but no more leave to take. only left with one full day. so couldn't join both jies on their trip to bangkok again. yes, i just went there this march, but i'm dying to take a plane and just fly somewhere. but anyway, i'm guessing i wouldnt be celebrating my 21st. i think i will rather go for a long getaway. in need of one but don't think i will have enough cash to fulfill both wants. so i will just go for the one need! travelling. maybe if i can manage to go alone, i will go thailand. if not i'm guessing taiwan. but dont really feel like going there. like no feel. korea also got no feel. maybe japan? but expensive because the cost is already high to go over and their standard of living is also high. so its like expensive double max. maybe for my birthday next year i will be at a different company and maybe they will sponsor me a trip to maldives? oh well, fat hopes and dream on. i will go venice in my dream. don't waste the trip. :D might as well right.
;anyway back to the top, well i am not not happy with my job. just not satisfied i guess. although i still do not know what i want in life. but definitely somewhere whereby everyone is happy to be here. a vibrant place where everyone greets you with a smile. with people who enjoy their work. and people who really smile because they are happy. happy from the inside. its different when people smile just for smiling or momentarily. i like people smile because they are happy. would be good if its their work that makes them happy! best of both worlds isn't it.
;so this is a shot i took with my lousy 3gs at orchard road the other day. and speaking of which, my bloody phone is going kuku. it deleted all my contacts. or maybe i was asleep and deleted everything. but i have no recollections of it at all. its alright, im looking into changing my phone next month, after the 9th. don't think i will be looking at another apple phone. feel so cheated by them all the time. always making it's fans wait and wait. APPLE! I WILL NOT BE MANIPULATED BY YOU! AT LEAST NOT WITH AN IPHONE 4S! so i will be looking at either a HTC HD or sensation or something or an Samsung Galaxy S 2! like evolved pokemon. i will do my research after i finish doing christmas cards!

title: #110. I'm back! I hope~ XD Hi Guys! It's been a long while! Life's completely different from the last time I blog! and I'm still complaining that people doesnt update their blog! LOL! Actually I am syncing my phone right now so i have tons of time to blog! :D Anw, back to topic. I'm officially no longer a student! or at least at the moment~ I'm an OL now~ Working in town is draining my bank account. Lunch on average is expensive! We found alternatives that cheap and good~ but having lunch there everyday is boring too~ Still, I'm "enjoying" work right now! Hope i'll stay long in this job! Aim:1-2 years at least! I dont know~ Planning to study! but really have no idea what to do. Should i pursue whatever im doing now? or do what i "thought" i wanted? idk~ Also, life still goes on as it is! Hah. Song of the day: L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N by Noah and the whales. Heard it over the radio during work. spelt it out a few times before really get what its singing~ lol Im currently sitting right under the speaker, so i hear the radio rather clearly. But our radio there doesnt have good reception so its very disrupted. But i guess i'm used to it already! My phone is still syncing~ taking so darn long after not syncing for so long! Wanted to get a new phone! but stupid plan needs me to pay extra $300 for recontract before 21 Months. What phone i want to get? BLACKBERRY TORCH! IKR~ ultimate coolness! but there are many things in an iPhone that i absolutely love! such as Instagram! which is the one and only ap which i had did an review on (previous post)! that time my followers were like only a pathetic number of 8. now i can safely say i have about 80+ followers of which only 1 person i knew in real life. so thats considered as A LOT to me! But too bad so far i hadnt went for any instameet etc. The timing are usually occasions where i have to go work. and i would feel weird since i dont know anyone there! So i thought once i got a bb, i would go get an itouch and insert a sim card so i can still enjoy my instagram and everything shile still on the go! but thn i realised that itouch doesnt have 3G! awesome right~ i know! so too bad. till now i'm still using the same phone! i swear this is the most expensive phone i have gotten so far. i mean i paid the most for this phone! and i used it the longest! 15mths! it was seriously hard for me to use a phone for a year or more without first losing it, second spoilt it and third got tired of it. As least with this phone i can change the cover whenever i like! i can bet i have more than 20 3GS covers at home. Currently i'm using the Cath Kidson cover. Bluse base with small flowers. Besides that look, there's always new games etc that i can play or utility apps that makes life more efficient. Overall it's somehthing that take a long time to get tired with. When the iphone 4 finally came out last year. i wanted to give iphone a missed already. But what's cool is that i can update the software to be the samething as an iphone 4. that was awesome for me just that i do not have a front camera. that's too bad. so i dont really have any "self portraits" in it~ i know that i said that i would be more active blogging and facebooking once i have a smart phone! but still, i really am not! lol~ i a friendly person that's not very sociable. hee!~ oh well, my phone is done syncing~ ttyl~ Jalyn |

title: #109. barely.hanging.on  So, the chinese new year is just round the corner. How's everyone surviving? Projects after projects is whatever that is going on around me right now. Even this very minute when I'm typing this, i was suppose to be doing something else. But oh well. Just a FEW more projects and its the final exams with barely a week for you to study and get ready for. Just simply sucks right. But there isn't anything that we can do to it. Life goes on as it is. it's unlike the previous semester whereby we have another extra week as there was the YOG hence the extra week for the events. And we who are not involved are lucky to get an extra week off! (: but good things just doesn't come that often right! so LIVE WITH IT! i just realize that now, i just cant live without my iphone. It too addictive. I use to open and close the fridge doors whenever I'm bored. But now, i will just unlock my phone, look around twitter and instagram and lock my phone again. In less then half an hour repeat whatever i've done. AND! i just want to introduce to everyone more is that people all over the world can see your photographs, 'comment' and 'like' your photographs. It works with a twitter/FB concept and people can 'follow' you and keep themselves update with all the photos published by their following list on their 'feeds' page. You can also access the 'popular page and have a look at what's the popular photographs at that time. and get in touch with more people through that! And if you know me, I only recommend whatever i really use and absolutely love!  So basically this is how he interface looks like and the others are some of the photos i edited and posted through instagram. OH! and before i forgot, instagram is not a social networking app for nothing. Besides posted in just the apps, it allows you to sync and connect to the other sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Posterous, Tumblr and Foursquare! so rest assure the WHOLE WORLD is updated. Enjoy~        oh. and you can follow me too! like twitter! @jalynnnnn -rmb; its 5 n'sTa! (: |
