Time Flies

This strip is based on my own experience and I am sure most of you would always have neglected someone important just because there was work. Work will always be there but times with our loved ones last just for that moment and if we miss it then it's gone. I also take the chance to apologize to all my loved ones and dear friends when I always thought I did not have the time to keep in touch. I am a different person now though, people comes first before work, especially LOVED ONES!

We Are Always Wrong

Once again, this was inspired by a true story of one of my friends. May God have mercy on his sanity in dealing with his boss :), I sincerely feel bosses should not be so fickle-minded, should give clear instructions and not act as if they are always finding fault with their sub-ordinates. Like in this case, no particular limit was given to my friend, EVEN AFTER asking for it!

Different Directions

Ever had bosses who are heading different directions, but could never come to a consensus?

Guess who are the ones who suffer?

The moral of the story is, always leave the Board room with ONE decision.

It doesn't matter how the outcome was reached - whether by majority vote or the person highest in hierachy putting his/her foot down, making the decision and taking responsibilty for it.

After that, it doesn't matter what the difference of opinion were. Statements like, "It's a stupid decision! Let's do it the right way" or "Actually ah...I don't agree with the decision wan. But what to do? They pay my salary so I follow lor" will only divide the organisation.

Even worse is when no one wants to be seen as the bad guy so they make no decision and pull their subordinates in different directions.

An organisation without unity will eventually fall apart...after much pain.

"Tai Chi" Skills

My first contribution! My dad saw me drawing and said, "Huh? You can draw wan meh?" Well, I can't, really. I can draw stick figures, scan it into the computer and then make use of my Photoshop skills. I couldn't even produce a comic that fit within the width limit. With practice, hopefully I'll learn to tell stories utilising less space. But for now, click on the image on the left for the full view. I present to you, "Tai Chi" Skills!

Are You A Horse or Donkey?

This story was inspired by a colleague of mine when she had this actual conversation with the CEO of the company and the CEO was really speechless after her reply.

We Are Trying To Help!!!

Despite our best intentions to help, we are at times often misunderstood by the very people that we are trying to help. I reckon that either they really don't see the benefit or might be plain dumb at times.

Grand Opening!

Welcome to Executive Woes, where I'll try to capture the perils of an executive in his/her everyday life. I am sure that most of you all can relate personally to some of the experiences which will be posted in the future. If you have any ideas don't forget to drop me an email, and would greatly appreciate if you guys can leave a comment or two :)

I am aiming to have the site updated with fresh content at least every 3 days, if I can't stick to the schedule due to work then I apologize. I hope this will go down well, with all of your support of course!

Let the show begin!

UPDATE 22-Feb-2008: We welcome the addition of Ee Ling to this blog, where she will be contributing her own hand drawn comics for now (while she develops her Photoshop skills) :), while I will focus on the 'Japanese-cartoon-like' illustrations.
