September babies

People born in the month of September supposedly possess such traits:

* Suave and compromising - I don't know about suave but I suppose I did compromise a bit in my past relationship... and look where it headed :(

* Careful, cautious and organized - yes, I'm an organized person. Organized however does not make me a neat freak like Monica of Friends.

* Likes to point out people's mistakes & to criticize - Yes, I'm guilty as charge. But at least I'm admitting to it and not deny it.

* Quiet but able to talk well - I don't know about quiet... This can't be right.

* Calm and cool - yeah... But I also have a volcanic temper!

* Kind and sympathetic - but I'm no angel.

* Concerned and detailed - Pass. Next trait please...

* Trustworthy, loyal and honest - definitely!! Isn't this basic fundamental?!?!

* Sensitive - Errrr... in what way?

* Clever and knowledgeable - this is utter crap. Everyone is born smart but not necessary knowledgeable

* Able to motivate oneself - or just simply being Kiasu

* Loves sports, leisure and traveling - yes! Just that I don't enjoy the money required

* Hardly shows emotions & tends to bottle up feelings- Nobody needs to know what I'm going through...

End of the road

After 5 years I roam the streets alone again. Not that I want to... but I can't hold on to something that doesn't want to be held.

Hong Kong

My back has yet to fully recover from all the walking in Hong Kong.

Yes, I'm back from my trip. How was the trip? Hmmm... let's just say that I've never been happier to go home from a vacation. Maybe I shouldn't even call it a vacation because you're supposed to be enjoying yourself when on vacation.

I've never really like crowds and I have low tolerance with rudeness. The key words crowd and rudeness probably is the best way to sum up Hong Kong and on my so-called vacation. That place has not improved one bit since the last time I went there 16 years ago! If anything goes, I think the place just got worse.

Hope the next place I'll be going will be much better.

FISH!

I want to learn to handle situations and change the way I handle the various situations.

I'll re-read FISH! again on the plane later... It'll also give me time to think about my strategies.

Hope things will get better... If not, I'll give the competitor agency a call again soon. At least the money is good there ;)

A better week?

Someone threatened me last week.
I hate people who threatens others.
I think people who threatens others are such cowards.

More to ponder...

She sets her sight on seeing results / improvements within 3 months whenever she takes on a new account.

I've been on the account for almost 1 year... i wonder if i've made much improvement.

Self awareness

I'm heading towards self destruction. Something has to be done and it has to be done soon.
I'm aware of what I have to do.

It's all about the money?

The options available for me at the moment:

Option 1 : To take up the offer and get more money handling more shit
Option 2 : Stay awhile longer and proof them wrong while maintaining the same miserable paychecks.

More money is always tempting. But I think I'll go with option 2 for the time being. Maybe for a few more months and see how things go. Never a good idea to be too emotional. Rash decision is never a good one.

It's time...

Later today will be judgement day... my future will be decided after that.

My freedom

Too often, I've been advised to accept the things I cannot change. But I've always believe in the freedom of choice, which allows us to change whatever situations that we're uncomfortable with. Question lie in whether we take this freedom into practice.

At the moment, I'm quite unhappy with the working relationship and the environment that I'm in. Something needs to be done soon... I'm ready to make some changes - might be for the better, might be for the worse.

My happiness comes first and foremost. So live with it!

It feels good...

It feels good to leave the office with the rest of the working crowd.
It feels good to have dinner at home, with home cooked food.
It feels good to have some decent conversation with my parents.
It feels good to volunteer some time to help the needy.

I hope this good feeling will continue for many more months to come.

A special phone call

I spoke to a dear friend today. A dear friend whom i have not spoken to for at least 3 years. Nonetheless, she remain a dear friend...

I hope to catch up with her again really soon.

Happy New Year

1st day of work 2005.

My new year resolution - to make more time for myself and to leave the office latest by 8:30pm.
