Gardenia Bread


I am eating Uncle Slocumm's Gardenia bread with Auntie Rosie's Pandan kaya now. So I did a bit googling bout Gardenia and found this:

Gardenia bread is delivered to stores 5 days a week, so how do we know which bread is fresh besides looking at the expiry date? Here's how. Gardenia bread has different colours to differentiate which one is on what day.

Monday - Blue
Tuesday - Green
Thursday - Red
Friday - White
Saturday - Yellow

* No Wednesday and Sunday.

So, lets say, tomorrow is Monday, since today is Sunday, so tomorrow should be Monday right? What am I mumbling about? Anyway, if you want to buy Gardenia bread tomorrow (Monday), make sure to take the Blue twist tie, not White or Yellow, because that would be Fri and Sat bread which is not as fresh as the Mon freshly baked bread.

I'm blank!

I just applied for a job in jobstreet.

The "victim" is BASF Asia Pacific Service Centre Sdn Bhd

After I clicked to apply for the job, I was asked to answer the question "The benefits of 'Shared Services' in an organization". I had never heard of this "Shared Services" thingy before, so I did some googling and wiki'ing. And still, I have no idea what this thing is. Is this the sign of reading to much fiction books till I can't understand non-fiction?

So, what is my answer? Don't laugh!


I honestly don't CLEARLY understand what this "Shared Services" is. So here's what I understand after doing some "googling".

The benefits are:

1. COST SAVING
Funding can be saved as the service is shared. The company can use the money to fund other project or department, hence making it run more effectively, and the most importantly is to run more EFFICIENTLY.

2. RESOURCE SAVING
Just like the cost saving, other resources such as human resource can be allocated to work in other department and the employee can be fully utilized.

Again, honestly, I have no idea what this “Shared Services” really is and I’m being unprofessional by writing it here. So, thanks for your time, and hope you enjoy my writing.

Thanks again.

Regards


I still silently hope I will get this job. lol!~
