THE PIECES
Tuesday, January 12, 2010
What I like about talking to my colleagues is that they really get me thinking.
Every time I talk to them I learn more about myself, about them and about the different perspectives there are out there.
The fine line between knowing and accepting is so thin that it might not even appear to be there. But I realise that it exists; and the super-thin line separates two extremes.
If you know, and you don't do anything about it, you aren't accepting. Knowing is easy, but accepting is extremely difficult.
The hardest thing to do is to stare at yourself in the mirror, eye-to-eye. It's not just staring at who appears in the mirror; it's staring through the facade and seeing the real you under all that packaging. What you might (or might not) see, might scare the shit out of you. You might feel down, you might feel downright depressed, but if you can accept you for who you truly are, you'll end up being a much happier person.
I'm not saying I can do that - I can't. She was right: knowing and accepting are two very different things. I know, but I haven't accepted. Its hard. Very. But I'm going to work towards that.
Another goal for this year.

On a lighter side, the following rabbit story is damn funny.
You know now Macs is giving away the Doraemon keychains thing? One of them comes in the form of a rabbit.
So my boss told me earlier, if I went to Macs, to help him check if they still have the rabbit because his sister wants the rabbit. So when I had dinner just now, I managed to buy that rabbit. And naturally, I SMSed my boss and told him "I got your rabbit."
Then he replied me, saying I texted the wrong person! So I said, no ah, you asked me to get the Doraemon rabbit for you earlier right? Or did I remember wrongly and it's not a rabbit?
His reply was totally unexpected, and totally DAMN funny. He texted me back, saying, "Oh... 'I got your rabbit' in aussie land is 'I got your underwear/panty'. My god."
I couldn't stop laughing. And I kept on laughing till I teared. Classic. Totally lightened my mood while typing the first part of this post. Really too damn funny.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. This story can make me laugh anytime.

Change has begun before the new year.
Higher expectations, more work.
More independence.
2010 will be great :)

The end of another year.
The end of the adolescent chapter of my life.
The start of one of the most tiring chapters of my life.
Officially an adult, officially employed, officially happy.
I've found myself an extremely good family in my current company - great work, great colleagues, great bosses. I simply love it here (I know I've said that many times, but I still want to say it can).
It's a godsend to have received that email looking for a writer. It's a godsend to have met the people here: Ann, Cheryl, Wendy, Alicia, Teresa, Wai Fung, Warren, Andy, Greg, Irene, Juin Yih, David, Wai Leong, Lijia and everyone else I didn't name. Thank you for making life at work so great! :))))
<3
And that's what my life mostly revolves around now... Work work work work <3 work.
But all's well, and will be better :)
I miss my friends - although there have been a few meaningful meet ups throughout the year... I hope I will have time for more next year!
Family is status quo... Except we're all growing up now. Or grown up.
2010 will be a year of change. Great change. FAST change. It's gonna fly by.
The new decade is here :)

Accelerated heartbeat; increased blood pressure; shorter and shallower breaths.
Don't tell me then.

The remaining days of 2009 are gonna fly by, I know it. And I will love every moment of it (sans the back pain and sensitive nose).
Not yet time for the summing up post, but it will be soon.
2010 will be a year of change - wonderful change. That, I know, is the only constant.
