Shirley

Haha.. everyone at work are getting hyped up over her.
Let me say everything right from the start..
Ok, she is a temp staff that is currently working at our company.
Quite chio actually, so we were saying who will get her number 1st haha..

It begin yesterday, i tot there was a new gal working in microbio lab. When summiting my water sample at the end of the day, i discovered that she is the shirley. She asked me if i have gotten my pay. So i replied yes and say she can get it from the HR.However, she tot the HR already closed. But i told her they only leave at 6pm which is still 30mins away. So i bring her to the HR together with tze wei.

Before she left, i asked her that how come she look different and make me mistaken her for a new staff.(Cant believe i really asked her that too) She just laugh and said maybe it was her new haircut.

Today..
Was going to DSO for lunch tgt with Tze Wei, Chin Hua and kelvin. Met her on the way to lunch. She asked me when the sampling starts, i told her that we still haven go out yet.(wonder y she asked me instead of the 3 others) Cuz the high tide is 3pm for that day, so she requested me to come back early to hand in the sample so she can go back early. I replied, ok, i'll try..

End up, I rush with the water sampling and managed to come back super early. I even beat Sentosa team in coming back early. Saw her again in the lab when submitting the water samples and told her that "See! I rush so fast that i even beat the Sentosa team." haha.. normally for me, i would be the last team to reach the company cuz my part is the most time consuming.

So i went to prepare the bottles for tml. Soon, both tze wei and chin hua were back at the lab, and we begin to chat.. Then we begin to say what we planning to do on labour day. Den a suggestion come out, ask Shirley out for movie or something. haha!
So i was just trying to make fun of them, so i say ok, see who go ask 1st. Den while going back home, we purposely walk pass the Mico lab. I slowly press the door handle, slowly pushing the door to open a small gap just enough to peek inside. Suddenly at this moment, i feel a force pushing down the handle and the door swing wide open.

OMG! It was shirley that open the door. All 3 of us was like shocked to see her coming out LOL! Heart beat super fast sia!! She asked what we were doing there and stupid chin hua have to burp out that we are looking for someone. SO paisay la! Totally nv expected that she open the door SAME TIME as me!

WHile walking down the stairs behind, Chin hua is like.. Wah u 2 got fate sia... i support u. I give him that "haha.." face and feel damn PS. Heart still beating sia.. LOL! At least know that she live near clementi and dover. =)

Pay day!

Wooo~! The most anticipated moment of the month is here! PAY DAY!

Working at this company was fun, but very tiring. I can't believe how fast I'm spending my money. Apparently, earning just 1K++ per month isn't enough to survive. That make me even more troubled. Start worrying about my career in future now. Working for others won't get me far in life, but starting my own business ain't as easy as it seems. Capital, experience, luck, careful planning, good understanding of the market, etc... all play a part.

Haiz.. now i need to set my heart at getting a degree, which is most likely to be a business degree. I'll go out to work, meet more people and hopefully i'm lucky enough to find investors who willing to start a business with me.

Well in life, the most important thing is actually luck. With luck, u can do almost anything without worry, even without a degree, with luck, u can meet the right people and just get promoted to high rank with luck. Whereas, if u have degree but no luck, it won't get u far too. HOWEVER, with both luck and a good certification, you must be a lucky bastard! >.<

Anyway... didn't blog the past 2 days cause i started playing a new game (ONIMUSHA 3 : Demon Siege)and was totally engrossed in it. Can't believe I spend 10 hrs of my sunday playing that game. OMG!

New song (Never Let You GO by Janice) added to blog. Hope u enjoyed it!

猎人和小鸟的故事

有一位猎人在路旁看见一只受伤的小鸟。见到它很可怜，于是，心地善良的猎人把受伤的小鸟带回家。

好心的猎人无微不至地为受伤的小鸟疗伤。过了几天，小鸟的伤好了。为了感谢猎人的关怀，小鸟就开心地唱起了一首美妙的歌曲。这时，猎人被那动人的歌声所吸引。于是，猎人打算把小鸟留在他身边，每天为他唱歌。猎人就把小鸟关在笼子里，希望每天起床时能听到那美妙的歌声。

猎人对小鸟很好，每天都准时地喂小鸟吃食物，也为小鸟天天打扫笼子。小鸟也每天为猎人唱歌跳舞。

就这样，日子一天一天地过，关在笼子里的小鸟一天比一天思念在天空自由自在地飞。因为太想念自由，小鸟开始不吃东西。小鸟渐渐地变瘦，也不唱歌跳舞了。小鸟每天只是望着天空，希望能回到属于自己的天空。

这时，猎人开始慌了，也明白小鸟的心情。于是，他把笼子打开，让小鸟回到属于自己的天空。在离开时，小鸟回头望着猎人，然后开心地向属于自己的天空飞去。

见到小鸟的背影慢慢离去，猎人不禁流下眼泪，但是他却一点也不伤心。

能看到小鸟开心，也许也不是一件坏事。
或许有一天小鸟会飞回来也不一定。
也许．．．或许．．
就让时间来给那个答案。

1st post in ages

Finally a blog update.. It been ages since i last posted anything. Have a bad stomach pain this whole week. (Mild food poisoning) Nothing to do at home, so was surfing the net and saw this on the site...

No. 1: EACH RELATIONSHIP CONTAINS A RESERVOIR OF HOPE.

Our research has shown that even the most destructive fights and conflicts start with good intentions. These good intentions form the basis for a hidden reservoir of hope that a fully satisfying relationship can be achieved. The key: bow to tap into the good intent and the reservoir of hope.

No. 2: ONE "ZINGER" WILL ERASE 20 ACTS OF KINDNESS.

Our research has shown that it takes one put-down to undo hours of kindness you give to your partner. The key: intimate partners must learn how to manage their anger and control the exchange of negative behavior by finding a way to express the feelings in a constructive manner. Constructive expression of gripes, criticisms, and annoyances is a matter of knowing how to express oneself and choosing the appropriate time and place for the conversation.

No. 3: LITTLE CHANGES IN YOU CAN LEAD TO HUGE CHANGES IN THE RELATIONSHIP.

We began our research thinking it would be easy to detect differences between happy and unhappy couples. Although it turns out to be true that there are clear and reliable differences, those differences tend to be small and subtle.

Most couples in trouble think that for things to improve, extraordinary changes, if not a miracle, have to take place. And human nature being what it is, most of us who have relationship troubles think these changes need to be made by our spouse, not ourselves. But we often don't realize that we have no control over our partner's behavior.
As a result, we develop a sense of hopelessness and helplessness about the relationship. If only he or she would change, everything would be fine--or so we think. The breakthrough comes when we realize that by making even small changes in ourselves, we can effect big, positive changes that make us more optimistic and open to our partners.

Add to your relationship acts of thoughtful kindness--compliment your partner on how he or she looks, touch your partner's back when you walk by. And subtract from your relationship acts of thoughtless nastiness--ignoring your partner when you are angry, calling your partner names.

No. 4: IT'S NOT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PARTNERS THAT CAUSE PROBLEMS BUT HOW THE DIFFERENCES ARE HANDLED WHEN THEY ARISE.

Many partners think that their relationship woes are the result of differences between themselves and their mate. We've heard many couples say, "We're not compatible: he likes to be on the go; I like to stay at home," or "She goes to bed early; I'm a night person." This reasoning is an understandable effort to explain the causes of unhappiness.

But rather than focusing on areas of agreement and disagreement, partners in happy relationships develop good listening skills. These skills have nothing to do with eliminating differences, forcing consensus, or giving advice. Listening skills involve understanding and acceptance of differences in personality and taste. Having a good listener is having a good friend. In a happy relationship, a partner can count on his or her mate's being a good friend and never a judge or counselor.

No. 5: MEN AND WOMEN FIGHT USING DIFFERENT WEAPONS BUT SUFFER SIMILAR WOUNDS.

Not only do men and women suffer similar wounds, they also sustain them trying to accomplish the same objectives: acceptance, support, affection. When partners try to understand what is not going right in a relationship, they tend to examine the current weapons being used rather than the ultimate goals that are so strongly desired by both people. When we have focused our research on the goals men and women share for their relationship, we have exposed many common misconceptions about the differences between men and women in marriages.

Contrary to conventional wisdom that men "have a problem with intimacy" and women "tend to overreact," men and women differ little in their desire for intimacy and connection. For a variety of reasons, both biological and cultural, men have a harder time handling conflict, while women have a harder time handling emotional distance. Thus, men often withdraw from uncomfortable arousal in association with marital discussions while women sometimes feel a need immediately to resolve every conflict through discussion.

No. 6: PARTNERS NEED TO PRACTICE RELATIONSHIP SKILLS IN ORDER TO BECOME GOOD AT THEM.

Many partners seem to live their lives by playing at the game of marriage. We're bombarded by celebrities joking about their fifth, sixth, or seventh spouse. Instead of continually changing partners in the quest for a happy relationship, people should be learning to manage the conflicts, angers, and disagreements that are common to all relationships.

Unfortunately, partners enter into relationships with no agreed-upon rules or skills for handling the strong negative feelings that are an inevitable part of all relationships. Without rules, in the face of conflict, partners often resort to forms of guerrilla warfare with random sniping that can seriously wound their mates. Instead of taking control of conflict, partners let conflict take control of them.

A very good article, if only i read it long before everything happens... If only..
