Ninjas

My lecturer says "Students are like ninjas". During exams, one type of students will answer the questions like how Ninjas throw their darts. Accurate and straight to the point. Another type of students, will throw the smoke like Ninjas to distract people and try to smoke their way out when answering the questions. Haha... How true... :P

Tired and Busy...

I have been so busy over the past few weeks that I do not have the time to blog at all. There are many times when I wanted to blog about some happenings in my work place or school but I decided to catch my beauty sleep instead. I'm just feeling too tired!

My projects are coming to an end at the end of this month. Hopefully I will have more time for myself then. Of course that's apart from me studying for exams.

I am probably the most studious self now when compared to any other time of my schooling life. Not because I go home everyday and study but because I almost did not skip any lesson at all. Almost... Because I had just skipped a lesson and is now at IMM doing my project. Haha... :P But considering this is the second lesson of the semester that I skipped, that's an achievement liao! After all I actually lost count of the no. of lessons that I skipped when I was in JC, Poly and while doing my Advanced Diploma. Haha... :P

Get to know Yourself Better

xy posted her results of her "Get to know Yourself Better" test on her blog so I decided to try out the test myself too. Quite interesting results. About maybe 90% true? :)

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust.

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...
