- 回想 -

This past week was a whirlwind of events and fascinating incidents. New experiences. New insights. New perspectives.

I think I can safely say that this is one whole week that I have hardly any contact with friends. The one week that I spent so many hours with my colleagues that it makes life a bit surreal.

It wasn't all about work. There were fun times too. But whether work equates fun times is also about perspective though other people's personalities play a vital role too. Well, of course, my own character too.

Recently there was this talk that said that GenY employees valued their ties with their co-workers more than the work itself. In other words, what is the strongest push factor out of the organisation will be bad relationships with the co-workers. If co-workers are easy to get along, the (terrible) nature of work is secondary.

I'm not suggesting I dislike the nature of my work. On the contrary, I actually enjoy the work I'm doing now. I cannot see myself in another job portfolio. In fact, in retrospect, I think this job was a God-sent. It's a perfect first job though the initial stages were hard. The steep learning curve was a stumbling block at first but God brought me here for a reason :)

I was having a conservation with one of my colleagues on the bus and something she said shocked me. So it seemed that they all had this impression of me and simply assumed certain things. And she was not the first who told me that. Out of curiosity, I decided to ask her the basis of her assumption since many of them thought the same.

And the reply was "Because you're so naturally cute."

Boy, was I shocked! She was one of the last people on Earth that I would expect saying that of me. ROFL. I always thought only my indulging and lovely friends will say that.

I won't deny I was secretly pleased. ROFL.

WOW.

HAHA.

So I'm blogging about this because if in future I grumble about my colleagues or job or workplace, I'll have something to remind myself, that things aren't always so bad :)

Thank you, God.

Love you.

- 静かに -

Silence now.

When thoughts and opinions get across to people too strongly, it comes across as imposing.

When foul mood affects your rationality and mannerisms, it comes across as rude.

When emotions are displayed on your face, it comes across as tactless.

Now now, Silence. Please.

Yes, I know. FAT. But whatever. I'll lose them. Someday. Somehow. Haha.

I love this lift. Pity the travelling time wasn't enough for us to perfect the shot. Pouts.

And..preparation for halloweeeeeennnnnn....whoooooooo~~

- 怒ってるよ -

I'm angry at the fact that I don't have the right to be.

ROARS!!!

- 明日また月曜日 -

明日また月曜日わね　＞．＜　最低だ。

先週は早かったね。毎日忙しかったよ。約束があったから。今日も！あぁ。。。疲れたけど、楽しかった！

先週は映画を見た。でも映画なら本当につまらなかった。あたし映画館で寝たよ！

とにかく、下の写真はこの間撮ったの。食べ物はままだけ、でも飲み物は好きよ！色はきれいだね～ハハ！

- 가슴이 뭉클 -

어쩐지 사랑은 어 려워 난 아 직 서툴러

사실은 지금껏 슬 픔과 더 친 해 사랑은 먼 듯해

우린 서로 너 무 달라서 바 보라는 것만 닮 아서

때론 어긋나고 때 론 부딪혀야 하 지만

사랑인가봐 사랑인가봐요 그댈 보면 가슴이 뭉클해

녹슨 가슴도 굳 어있던 심장도 깨 워준 그대

사랑해줘요 나를 안 아줘요 숨겨왔던 내 상처까지도

아픈 눈물도 슬 픈 외로움도 다 신 오지 않 게

마음을 주기가 두 려워 아프게 될 까봐

그렇게 한동안 버 려둔 맘인데 닫 아둔 맘인데

언제 스며들어 왔 나요 언제 가 득 채워 놨 나요

그대 향기들로 그 대 기억들로 나 의 맘

사랑인가봐 사랑인가봐요 그댈 보면 가슴이 뭉클해

녹슨 가슴도 굳 어있던 심장도 깨 워준 그대

사랑해줘요 나를 안 아줘요 숨겨왔던 내 상처까지도

아픈 눈물도 슬 픈 외로움도 다 신 오지 않 게

오랜 내 눈 물 끝에 가 려져 있던 사 람

기나긴 날 동 안 내가 기 다렸던 한 사 람

그대인가봐 그대인가봐요 곁에 서면 아파도 웃게 돼

깊은 흉터도 버 릇 같던 눈 물도 낫게 해 준 그대

보여줄게요 전부 다 줄게요 아껴왔던 내 모든 사랑을

혼자라는 말 이 별이라는 말 우 리에겐 없게

사랑만 남아있게

바보처럼

- 好きよ -

- I Miss You!! -

- 本当に疲れた、泣きたいわ -

Exhausted. Haven't been able to get a good night's rest since Friday night. Insomnia plagues. The body screams for rest but the mind is working overtime. Please communicate with each other, dear Mind and Body.

Mind, you're tired. Please rest, for goodness sake.

Feet move with a rhythmic left, right, left, right.

Body begins to scream.

But Mind moves further away from Body, conscious of the surroundings.

Conscious of Shadow right behind, following close.

All the time.

- あたしの週末 -

あたしの週末は楽しかったよ～！！＾－＾

残念だけど、写真をよく撮らなかった。また今度、絶対友達と写真を撮らなきゃ！

ヘロウーンパーティにはクリオパトラ見たいに行ってもいい？ハハ冗談だけ。

１０１０１０は、あたしたち８人一緒にSDCに行った。超楽しかったよ。でも、疲れたわ。朝は早くて起きた　＠＿＠

とにかく、も一度友達と遊びたいよ～

Biggest takeaway from scripture today:

"Most of the time, we all know what should be the right thing to do. But we lack the courage. We do not dare to carry out them out."

- さあぁ… -

This week is going to be a terrifyingly busy week with work and social life. My workload is starting to pick up again after the short relaxing period. Urgh. But on hindsight, (despite my grumblings, that is) I actually enjoy such a packed schedule. For how long, I shall see.

Jogging has taken on a different meaning now. It used to help me clear my thoughts but now, I haven't been able to do that because I have company now whenever I jog :)

After one whole week of not jogging at all, I had 2 consecutive days of jogging - Sunday and Monday. Will have badminton and more jogging ahead this week on the other days that exercise is not on the itinerary. Haha I surprise myself sometimes.

I used to love jogging alone because it helps me think. It helps me relax. It helps me run away from whatever problems I had. Ok, I just realised I used the words "used to". Mmm...not that I don't enjoy running alone anymore, I guess? It's just that I haven't been running alone for so long I don't know whether I still like it anymore. I definitely enjoy the company now. I don't even mind the silence between us and really appreciate the thought and effort of keeping a conversation going while running. Seriously, I don't think I have the spare energy to hold up a conversation and keep breathing evenly but yea, I still continue the conversations and that's why I can't run long too. Hahaha. Excuses for my poor stamina.

Not that I mind the conversations. I just don't have the spare energy.

I think..maybe I should find time to jog. Alone.

"Do you understand that you can't help everyone? Stop worrying and trying to solve problems that aren't even yours."

No, I don't want to help everyone. I just want to help those whom I care for.
