Jun Matsumoto for Fasio Mascaras

Jun is prolly the first male EVER to endorse women's cosmetics. Seen here endorsing mascaras for Japan's cosmeceuticals giant, Fasio. He's like totally so cuteness.. this is the ad in a bus.




The full add picture below!!

omg!!

the HR lady called me up just now and said we do not have a choice but to put your application on hold. unless you get your manager to write a letter or release stating that she is willing to waive off the 12 month embargo period. and i am in such a sour relationship with her now! i dunno what to do!!! like seriously!

hehe!

okay' i've called the HR lady and she was such a doll! she called my manager a lunatic and she will not listen to another word she says! God Bless her! anyway, i'll post the email i'm sending to my director here so that you can read it!!


hi hwee boon,

khairul here. the reason i'm writing to you is i need to clear up some things with you with regards to my manager. i'm really sorry. this is extremely petty (i told her that) and that she's just being sour (i told her that too). i'd just like to keep you informed on this.

firstly, she made noise because the date on my resignation letter differs with the date my SFA client list report was printed; letter was dated 16th of June. SFA report was dated 17th of June. small matter. but she made it big. she kept on insisting i was trying to shortchange her (i don't understand this statement anyway) and that i was being untruthful about my job offer, which brings us to the second point.

she said i lied about me not having a job offer. i explained to her with utmost patience that it was practically not a job offer. i have to fully cut ties with agency force before i can GO for interviews. and after the interview only then will i know if i can GET the job. simply put, i have NOT gone for any job interviews and that i have NOT been offered any jobs. i think she accepted this explaination.

thirdly, she called up Prudential's HR to ask her what is PD. below is a clipping of the email she sent me.

Hi khairul,Pls also get approval from your manager t to waive the 12-month waiting periodfor you so that you can join PD immediately. Pls ask them to indicate in the letter for you.

Thanks Regards

the HR lady explained to her that PD is Partnership Distribution. My manager went to add on a few facts about me which i bullet pointed below

• She told Wendy (the HR lady) that i have not resigned.
• She told Wendy to not POACH her agent. (i think she does not understand what poach means)
• She asked Wendy why must she waive off the 12 month waiting period and told her she will discuss this with the BDM as it is not fair for her to waive it off for me to enter Bancassurance.
• She told Wendy I am trying to shortchange her (her referring to my manager)

According to Wendy, she said all this in an angry tone, probably the same tone she spoke to me in after that.

When she called me back into her office, she told me that i am a liar and that i don't trust her. She kept raising her voice at me and whenever i try to explain she butts in, with a louder voice, keep on repeating these golden sentences,"Have i shortchanged you before?" and "I don't like to cause trouble for my agents." and "Are you trying to shortchange me." I was taken quite aback with her volume and spite towards me and was quite upset. i have heard stories about her character but i dismissed them, thinking they were just gossips. Unfortunately, I was lucky enough to experience it forst hand.

I am really disappointed with her unprofessional demeanour and sourness. My plan was to build my client base in the bank and to return back to this organization with more clients, more discipline and more knowledge. I know banks are really tough places to work. She could at least let me taste it, regret it after that and return stronger. But thinking back, i do not think i would like to return to Grace Chua and Associates thank you very much. thanks to her, i have to talk to HR and tell them my side of the story (and now they say they'll have to refer my application to Compliance to get it approved). If she was that bitter about me leaving her, tell me upfront. don't go about telling people and MY FUTURE PROSPECTS wild stories about me and say you have nothing to do about it later.

Oh a quote from my manager during one of my monthly coaching sessions with her;

"Khairul, with your little pay you are getting from Prudential. I suggest you just quit and get an admin support job that pays you basic salary every month. At least you can go shopping. You like shopping right?" and when i quit you are so so so bitter! how contradicting! i don't know to laugh at this or be really upset.

anyway, i do hope you help me with this. i'd rather go to Pru's Bancassurance then go to a competitor.

Thank you for your time and have a great day ahead!

Hope you have as much fun reading it as i do sending it in! hahahaha!

hi wendy!

this is khairul! i heard my manager called yesterday right? i'd just like to clear some things up. What she heard is just prolly a miscommunication. firstly, i did tender my resignation on the 17th and having to serve a 14 day notice, my last day of service with pru will be on the 1st of july. secondly, this is very important! you did not poach me! i applied and decided to do bancassurance at my own free will. she's just a bit sensitive about all this because quite a number of her agents have left her recently. so yeah, i'll have to apologise on her behalf. she likes to jump on things when they are still premature.

p.s. this is what i'll have to tell the lovely HR manager tomorrow. because some insolent moron screwed things up for me.

lately, ken's been really stressed up with work. what can i do? all i can do is ask him how's work and give him some advice. hell! i've never even like worked in a bank before, so i dunn what he's facing. i have friends in Citi who left because of the work load. They say Citi Never Sleeps because you workload is that of two persons. hahaha! good joke huh??

okay, sorry...

anyway yeah, all i can give him is like a listening ear and late night massages. sometimes i stay up late with him, accompanying him through the night. i see him punching furiously into his financial calculator and inputing so much numbers into his spreadsheets. i was like Gawd! hubby, your work involves so much numbers!

do leave your advice on how to console an overworked hubby! looking forward to it! hearts hearts!

kai

oh happy days!!



as you know, i am a financial consultant with Prudential Assurance Singapore. Work has been really slow and business has been even slower for me (thanks to all you ignorant Singaporeans!). So i applied for bancassurance with Prudential Assurance. And oh happy days! the HR department called me just now and said that she will forward my resume to the branches and they will arrange for interviews from there! woohoo! although its not confirmed, but i've already had a foot into bancassurance! I was over the moon when they called me.



But alas, the joy was shortlived. They called me again shortly and asked if i am still with Prudential Assurance. i said yes and everything went downwards from there. She said she'll need to check up with compliance department to see if it is okay to recruit someone from the agency force and to convert them into bancassurrance. apparently its "not nice". i quite agree with her though..

anyway, i hope i do get this and without the nonsensical 1 year waiting period.
