职场宝典——任何时候都适用的职场建议
1，没有十全十美的工作：无论在那里工作，你都会遇到这样或那样的实际问题。心态要务实。在入职前，尽可能多了解未来岗位的情况，找一份可以克服其缺点的工作。
2，任何时候对职场建议都别盲从：探讨职业话题的文章和书集可看，从中汲取自己需要的营养，但绝不要把它们当作应当记在心的教条。并非所有建议都适用于任何人。
3，永远从工作中获得乐趣：即便最令人厌烦的工作也会给人带来不少乐趣：并肓作战的同事、已经解决的那些问题、积累的经验。假如某一天你无法从工作中找到任何一件让你高兴的事，那就另某高就吧。
4，制作几份不同的简历：尽管它们实际上内容一样，但理应根据不同的场合和职位，设计不同的版面，突出不同的重点。
5，拒绝只有薪水令你心动的职位：过两三个月，高薪的吸引力就会渐渐褪色。倘若没有其他动力，这份工作就会变成折魔。你也许会为了弥补自己而大肆消费，连高薪都挥霍一空，届时你就什么也没有了。
6，面试时积极讨价还价：面式官尊重勇敢而独立的应聘者。况且签了劳动合同之后，你就没什么谈判余地了。但别忘记，谈判是游戏，不是争执，要注意态度，谈得宾主尽欢才好。
7，做成功者：有些人寻找解决问题的方法，有些人寻找不解决问题的借口。你属于第一类还是第二类？别指望等到天时、地利、人和再行动，那种情况永远不会出现。
8，像成功人士一样自信：举手投足、风度、气质等外在特征不只影响他人，也会影响自己。模仿成功人士，不知不觉间，你的事业越来越顺利。
9，与同事保持友好融洽：这有助于解决很多工作问题。
10，各退一步，海阔天空：假如你和同事的观点存在重大分歧，最好商定都作出一些让步，然后继续前进，这比在僵持不下、争执不休中丢掉时间和面子好多了。
11，按时完工比尽善尽美重要：在期限不允许时，通常宁肯稍微牺牲质量也要按时完成工作。
12，提出改进意见：不要老等到上司提出要求时，才发表对公司情况的改进建议。但也别越权事事插嘴，管好自己的一亩三分地。
13，对集体游戏规则要宽容：虽然主管慷慨激昂的鼓劲讲话让你昏昏欲睡，个别规章制度繁杂琐碎，你还是打起精神，严格遵守吧。公司的某些管理手段固然无益，但也无害。
14，关注职业发展：在工作生涯中，自始至终都要做到这一点。这是你个人的需要，别等别人催促，主动阅读专业书籍，了解业内发展动向，否则没准那天你的位子就会被别人抢去。
15，教育是手段不是目标：别以搜集各种证书为乐。尽快学会岗位所需的知识比考取五花八门的证书有用。如果光是纸上谈兵，不付出实践，拿得证书再多也不过是摆设。
16三人行必有我师：主管、同事每个人身上都有可学之处。办公室里最笨的同事也能当你的老师：以他为鉴，你至少能学会怎样才能少犯错误、少走弯路。
17，向专家求教：工作上的事，公司的总裁也不见得万事都懂。应当打造自己的“非正式专家团队”，多向身边懂行的人请教。
18，倾听业绩优秀者的建议：躲开理论家的高谈阔论，聆听实践家的观点。如果一个人在事业上毫无建树，那么无论他看起来多么睿智他的建议也一文不值。相反，事业有成者的建议可谓一字千金。
19犯错不可怕，可怕的是一再重蹈覆辙：没犯过一次错的雇员未必是优秀员工，通常只是逃避任何风险的平庸执行者。但倘若有人一次又一次地出同样的纰漏，那就说明他不称职。
20，制定未来几年的职业规划：即使目前还没考虑清楚未来的职业发展目标，也要不断前进，随便朝哪个方向都行。方向随后可以调整，糟糕的计划也比没有任何计划好。
21，不会休息就不会工作：选择积极的休息方式。躺在沙发上看电视不是好选择，要多活动、多见识新事物。周未休息得越好，下周的工作热情和效率就越高。
22，只评论自己懂的事情：对自己一无所知的事评头论足，难免会说出让内行人笑掉大牙的傻话。
23，通过工作质量赢得威信：靠拼工作量来搏得赞赏，并不是好战术。过不了几个月，你就会疲惫不堪，忙中出错。上司可不会因为你做得多，就忽视你犯的错。
24，抛弃嫉妒心：你工作能力很强却末受赏识，不如你的人反而步步高升？这种情况也许会出现，但与其疾妒他们，不如反思一下：能从他们身上学到些什么？
25，先找到新工作再提出辞职：倘若你不这样做，新雇主开出的条件会比较差，因为他们觉得你无处可去，没法讨价还价。要是他们还认为，你是个在原公司呆不下去的“麻烦”角色，那就更糟了。

Phuket trip
Mark was back at KL for a holiday, and we decided to spend few days in Phuket, Thailand. Really not much going on, it was meant as a quiet relax laid back kind of holiday.
Stayed at Asialoop G-hotel (not sure why this name), opened by an Italian that probably has a Thai girl friend or sort. Never really see much of him, think he is not sober half the time anyways.
Not much place to eat around the hotel, and Patong beach is like a 15min walk under the hot sun.
We Asians are like a minority here, westerners roam around this place like Key west in their rented motorbike, mopads, whatever you call it. I think it is really scary for them to ride these bikes around here, as the road are narrow and they are used to driving on the right side of the road in their home country.
Had to fill the stomach, so ended up eating Fuji at Jungceylon Mall in Patong Beach, which was really not that great compare to our Sushi King and Sakae Sushi while cost more. (Bento + Yakiniku + Garlic fried rice + 2 drinks = 650baht)
It is really hot like KL, ate DQ at the end in the same mall.
We spend quite a bit of our time wandering in the small 7-eleven next door, replenishing our water supplies, get our nata de coco yoghurt, hot ham cheese and egg toast for breakfast.
Rented a Suzuki 4x4 that is very bad shape for 1000 baht and drove around the whole of Phuket, took nice pictures at Cape Panwa (about 10km from Phuket town)
We then ate Sizzler (our favorite joint in Thailand) at Central Festival Phuket, which is like a 13km drive from Patong Beach.
The mall offer free parking, so it is good.
Sizzler is really big with the westerners and locals! Order your main course, and the salad bar is eat all you want!
I had my ever favorite BBQ glazed smoked pork ribs, which really is great everytime I eat it. Two person eating here spent 1200baht
Next day, while we still have the Suzuki 4x4, we drove to the sourthern most point, passby a lookout point at Karon - Kathu Beach.
And took more photos at the Cape Promthep. As usual, VERY HOT!
Next day, had enough of feeding the Suzuki 4x4 more than 1000bath worth of petrol for a mere 250km drive, we decided to take the Toyota Yaris for 1100baht.
Drove a scenic drive from Phuket to Krabi, it was really awesome!
Had a tough time finding for food in Ao Nang Beach, Krabi coz Mark can't decide what he wants. Ended up eating The Pizza Company, that was not cheap. (Medium Pizza + Bread stick + 2 drinks = 600Baht).
Anyways, we had a great massage at a rather professional looking place named Sophie (owner had her cert on the shop window front!) for 200baht/hour. So it was good.
Drove around a bit more, went to a spooky lookout point that has all the looking spot covered by trees, and return to Ao Nang for dessert at Tante's before driving 3hours back to Patong, Phuket.
Lucky have filled up the car with petrol (This time spent 1000baht for 600km drive) at Krabi, as after 9pm all the petrol kiosk are close all along our drive back to Phuket!
Arrived Patong at 12 midnight, only to realize that we still haven't had dinner. Was upset cannot find a cheap road side thai food that is authentic, we start roaming around a little until we found this roadside place at rat-u-thit road. Had 3 dish + very tasty tomyam seafood for 310baht, a price that I am finally familiar with?
We spent our last day in Phuket at the Central Phuket Festival again, had Swensen, and another even better thai massage in the mall. There are two cheaper massage place right under the 3 floor food court and we tried one of them for 200baht/hour, it was better than the one we had in Ao Nang.
My thought about Phuket? Over priced food / lodging that is meant to slaughter the westerners. I think next time I will just plainly go Bangkok to get my massage fix. Heh.
