What goes through your mind when someone says "Let's Go for a Drink"

haha... I think this is sooooooo... true... lol...

Reflection...

Maybe it is time for me to go and reflect on what is happening around me. For some reason, I am not very surprised to hear from my other colleague that apparently someone is not very happy working with me. I guess it is inevitable to have conflicts while working together especially after working together for so many years. I just feel that, don't feel one way and yet act like you are very gam with me. At least let me know of any displeasure especially when I do know I am one who don't know how to "package" my words nicely and often offend people unknowingly.

It is probably good that I know how she is like and thus is abit weary of saying too much things in front of her. Maybe that's why I am not surprised ba... After all, I hear her gossiping to me about things of my other colleague that really shouldn't be told. This make me even more certain that there really are somethings that I should keep to myself. So most of the times even if I do gossip with her about somethings, it will be about things that I don't mind reaching other people's ears. You never know what will happen once the information gets through her.

I guess I really should think about what are the things that I can do better. After all, sometimes I do agree my "honesty" to some people are making me enemies in the company. I must learn to "lend a listening ear and otherwise, keep my mouth shut!"

Absolut Masquerade

I used to collect postcards featuring Absolut vodka many years ago. I have always been very fascinated by the designs of their advertisements and etc which was what really started my postcard collection. One day, I may probably go back into postcard collection concentrating on Absolut postcards itself...

I first came upon Absolut Masquerade during my company's Xmas gift exchange. One of my colleague received it as a present and I think it looks really nice! I finally managed to get someone to buy it for me from the DFS. It's sooo... pretty. I like... :D

All they need is a listening ear...

I did not joined my usual lunch kakis for lunch this afternoon because I was tired to go so far for lunch and the weather was too hot for me to venture out too. I would rather have lunch near my office and in an indoors setting away from the sun... :P

I ended up lunching with my other colleague from another building. Usually even if we do lunch together, there will definitely be other people around too. So it is actually quite rare that only the both of us are lunching together. She is one of my closer colleague in the company as we used to work quite closely together. As usual, we traded some gossips going around the company and etc. We were chit chatting when she told me this thing that I remember my bf told me before too. "Sometimes when people tell us things, they do not need us to make any comments. They just want a listening ear."

I think I really need to take this advice and stop commenting too much about things that people told me. Or even comment too much. My bf actually told me that he feels that I have very low EQ because I am not sensitive enough to know what I should say and what I should not. A lot of times I will tell people things because I feel that I should be honest to them. I just don't want to lie to them I guess. So I will tell them my honest opinion about things that I feel they should know. I guess this in turn may sour some of my relationships with other people. Some people just don't and cannot accept too much honesty.

I think I really should go and reflect about this...

Nua-ing at Starbucks

I have no class today but knowing myself, I know I will be very unproductive if I am to go home to do my assignment and projects. In the end, I decided to drop by the Library to borrow some reference book and then to Starbucks to do my assignment.

I think doing my assignment in Starbucks is better for me... At least I really am more productive there... Now I feel super sian doing my assignment at home... The worst thing is, my bed is luring me to sleep now... lol... I think I will try to do my assignment outside next time. Even though it is inconvenient because I do not have access to my textbooks for referencing, at least I am more productive... But please... At least give me an access to internet. I think I will die of boredom without it... lol...

27 Random Things About Me...

Someone tagged me to write 25 random things about me. I finally completed it and posted it in Facebook. I think I will just post one here too... 25 random things about boring me... or rather 27. Because I just want to add those 2 more in my blog... It's a bonus that you can't see in Facebook ok? It took me quite a while before I completed it.

1) When people say that I am picky about food, I will tell them that I am just a selective eater. Really! I don't eat beansprouts unless they are together with Hokkien Mee, Fried Kway Teow and etc. See... I am selective...! :P
2) I keep a blog, just that not a lot of people know the url.
3) I don't like driving because I think I am a lousy driver. Maybe that's why I have yet to pass my driving test but I do look forward to becoming a licensed mobile road hazard. lol...
4) I used to collect freecards mainly on movies and Absolut. So I have lots of freecards in my house now. I just can't bear to throw them all away even though I think they are taking up too much space.
5) I learn my Chinese through reading comics when I was young.
6) I often tell myself to live my life with no regrets. Then why am I still having so many regrets???
7) I aml working in my first full time job for the past 4 years and counting... I often wonder how long I will work there for...
8) I often marvel over how much my life has changed over the last 4 years.
9) I live by "Act Blur Live Longer" rule. Sometimes, it is best to act blur for somethings... 厉害就好不要假厉害. :P
10) I like to travel alone. I will do that again if I have the chance.
11) People are always very surprised when they know that I went travelling alone in China.
12) I am a very indecisive person. Very!
13) Although I am a very indecisive person, once I make up my mind, there's no changing it.
14) I always wonder why do I keep going back to school even though I don't like studying.
15) I am lousy at managing my finances.
16) I always wonder where did my money went... Maybe that's why I am so poor... :(
17) I am a very 三分钟热度 person.
18) I love to watch horror movies and will cover my eyes with my fingers for a bit of 安全感.
19) I hope I will have a chance to work overseas one of these days.
20) I never own a pager before even though it was the "in" thing during my secondary school days.
21) I think I am a very contradictory person. There are somethings that I always think I will never do but I still end up doing it. What happened???
22) One of my greatest fear is losing my family.
23) I don't like to receive bouquet of flowers not because I don't like flowers. It's because it is tiring to hold the bouquet. You have to hold the bouquet in a certain way so that the water don't flow out. That's sooo... tiring...
24) The biggest bouquet of flowers I ever received was 99 stalks of roses on Valentines' Day a few years ago. It was a huge surprise to me.
25) It is amazing how I almost don't shop at all when I was younger. Now, all I do is shop... :P
26) I think I work better last minute. My 灵感 usually comes only at the eleventh hour... Not a good thing because it's damn stressful!!!
27) I am actually very fair when I was young. As in REALLY fair. My bf always ask me "What happened?" when he saw that particular photo that showed me being REALLY fair.

林曉培 - 心動

I always like this song. For some reason this song kept going through my mind today. So here it is. One of my favourite songs...

有多久没见你
以为你在那里
原来就住在我的心底
陪伴着我的呼吸

有多远的距离
以为闻不到你的气息
谁知道你背影这么长
回头就看到你

过去让它过去
来不及
从头喜欢你
白云缠绕着蓝天

如果
不能够永远都在一起
也至少给我们
怀念的勇气
拥抱的权利
好让你明白
我心动的痕迹

过去让它过去
来不及
从头喜欢你
白云缠绕着蓝天
如果
不能够永远都在一起
也至少给我们
怀念的勇气
拥抱的权利
好让你明白
我心动的痕迹

总是想再见你
还试着打探你的消息
原来
你就住在我的身体
守护我的回忆
