battle call

It’s past midnight, my body is aching and I am fuck tired. I’ve just finished reading and replying my emails and I should be hitting the sack now but instead I am sitting here, asking myself how can I make a difference in AirAsia.

How many of us are actually aware that times are getting from bad to worst and we will need to brave ourselves for the worst recession ever? Those who are aware (ahem) stopped becoming a shopaholic, start asking friends to sponsor accommodation whenever her gf suggest a weekend getaway (ahem). For me, I’ve also stopped splurging on expensive coffee and Zara… my God I’ve even started car pooling with my colleague!

Airlines has not been spared in this grim economic situation as well. SIA has made the decision to ground 17 aircraft and cutting capacity by 11%. Ryanair will be retrenching 200 staff and Virgin Atlantic planning to retrench 600 staff.

Despite the bleakness on the economic situation, we AirAsians are all geared up to fight the battle. This is because we share Tony’s mantra to Believe the unbelievable, Dare to dream and Never take no for an answer!

And just a few hours ago, we received a ‘battle call’ from our Commercial Head – Kathleen Tan (or commonly known as The Empress) with an excerpt of her very empowering email below.

…We need a paradigm shift in mindsets, in the way we drive commercial. We need to get out of our comfort zones. Ask not what the company can do for you. Now is the time to ask what you can do for the company. We need to TAKE RISKS, we need to INNOVATE, we need CHANGE and we need a REVOLUTION to kick a storm with the competition. When faced with challenges and struggles, I also tell myself “I make a choice to work in AirAsia because I want to make a difference”. And I need all of you to think the same if we are to overcome this trying time. We are an Asian brand growing to be a global airline. We are no longer just a leading LCC but we are a global high quality airline offering low fares…

Makes you wanna work for AirAsia doesn’t it?! :p

Instead of worrying about loosing our jobs and not meeting sales target, we are constantly challenging ourselves to think out of the box to make a difference in AirAsia.

Kudos to empowering leaders!

So glad that weekend is around the corner. Time to spend some quality time alone and have a work-free weekend! Though it’s quite impossible with tons of emails and proposals to catch up sigh…I so need a getaway!

Got my 2nd tatt on my wrist. Still having a tough time adjusting to it. I’ll probably have it laser off *shrugs*

Work is crazy. But I am also unlearning and relearning what I know about Interactive/online marketing. Which can only be a good thing. Just need to chill a little – which I find impossible to do.

Other than that, life is pretty much boring. Time to do something about it.
