A Procrastinating Friday...

What Kind of Guy Will You Fall For?
	You would fall for the geek. If you're looking for love, consider spending a little more time studying up in the library. To you, there's nothing more attractive than intelligence, shyness, and kindness; your future love may have four eyes and zero social skills, but he'll make up for it in brains and heart.

What City Should You Live In?
	You should live in Rome. You avoid conflict and take life a little slower than most. Rome's sun, culture, food, and siestas are a perfect match for your easy-going attitude.

Which College Major Should You Be?
	Your major should be Computer Science. You like nothing more than spending long nights with friends in the computer lab... which is a good thing since that's exactly how you'll spend the next couple years.

Did you know ?

Some people ask me why I am charged up and why I am always on some kind of course and why I always seem to be studying ? Now you know the answer.

What is ?

With so many things happening around me... I wonder what defines a good boss ?

'not enough guts ah'

WARNING ! This is a 'rave and rant blog'

'Not enough guts ah' is a singlish term that we use if we want to say that someone does not have the courage to say something.

I found out that there are a special breed of people out there who likes to stirr things up a little, create some gossip, put people in hot soup and have trouble keeping opinions to themselves. Of course, I expect everyone to do the above mentioned 'activities' to a certain extend. And anyone who is mature can take it positively in good stride or take a joke or two.

Lately, there are a few people out there who crosses the line and is not able to stop stirring up shit.
If you have something to tell me, clear up the facts and come tell me personally. True friends are able to do that and I learn from my mistakes. Dont make someone else do it for you ! In my truest SINGLISH, I will say "why ? not enough guts ah ?''

oh well... today is an eventful day.... here's a list of quotable quotes ( and you are much better off not second-guessing what it means ! )

I like the strings over my ankles !
[dude, that is plainly outrightly ugly, your social escort service wont take off ! ]

You are not getting the point !
[Trust me, I do, I knew about this problem since I was 13 and dont tell me that I dont understand]

Do you know how irritating it is ? I am trying to study
[Why are you not studying at your place instead !]

Leave the bitching to the bitch, let everyone do what they do best !
[of course, I did say it !]

I have to take the bad end of things
[What happens in your relationship does not interest me !]

'jalan lapang, jalan lapang, jalan lapang"
[hahahahahahahahahaahahah]

For a particularly eventful day like today, with work, AIESEC and friends. I have to quote this;


--------------------------
Grey's Anatomy Meredith Grey: A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success.

Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say.

I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo?

The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves.

We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore.

Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.

RECHARGED !

This is what being a trainer is about. 

You have people to motivate and you have to put on a happy face at all times. You can wake up on the wrong side of bed and just feel like cursing and swearing lots but you maintain your composure because 30 people in your class is watching you. 

You watch every word you say because it makes a difference to the others. You make sure that you take every opportunity you have to interact and educate your staff. 

Sometimes, I feel like I am going against my inner-self... I smile because I teach customer service. I relate past experiences to staff to motivate them even though I am tired beyond imagination. 

I need to know all the details, every single detail on the product line sheet, I need to remain THE girl that everyone looks to. I speak perfectly fluent, I stand straight and walk tall even when 3.5 inch heels kills. 

Because I am me, the trainer. 

So to quote my fav. TV show at present, Dr Grey said : I could quit, but here's the thing: I love the playing field.

Its 12.34am ( how timely ) and I am sitting on my bed thinking about too many things... with the right kind of music, reflections come easy....  

I spent a good of my day thinking about my years in school, thinking about the girls i am going to mentor and how it was like when i was in school. 

I thought about the friends around me, the ones that changed drastically, the ones that remained the same, the ones that are so far away but provide me with good sound advice, the ones i miss terribly and the ones that changed me. Its sooooooooooo sad ....

I thought about my next two weeks in september.

1 ) How did i let myself get so busy ? and where am i heading after this ?

2 ) Am i going to be able to get through the next 2 years of constant stress ?

Maybe being busy is a good thing, it keeps you away from thinking about too much things, being constantly busy prevents you from slowing down in life,

Being busy challenges me to the next level.
Being busy keeps me away from office politics, family politics. 
Being busy takes me away from thinking about relationship problems.

Being busy gives me a reason to hide away from the rest of the world. Maybe that is what i need.. a break for a while. 


 

Busy

Define Busy for me...

Busy is

when I have to constantly do two things at the same time, e.g. coaching someone through the phone while you are on the busy train station.

when I have to think about tomorrows schedule when you are shampooing your hair

when you have two groups of volunteering to do and two courses to attend weekly

when you have to make two of your friends meet together for dinner because you dont have time to have dinner with them individually

when you carry your textbook with you to work, to school and to bed !

when you sent a card to Canada, and when the person sends a message saying thank you, you forgot you even sent the card !

when you talk in your sleep and dream about work, and wake up feelin even more tired !

when you are COMPLETELY lost without your schedule

when your boss tells you that she noticed that you have been really busy but she is happy that I am still on top of my things.

when you have no time to go shopping !!!!! ARRRRRGH !!


And Happiness is when you are busy doing all of the above yet you are not complaining
