Learning the hard way...

Feeling really stressed out and upset with myself… somehow, there are just too many things on my plate and I really don’t know where to start. Whenever I decide to start on 1 thing, I end up getting chased for another thing, and this just keeps going on until I really feel like I’m losing my mind. Where should I start? Shall I just refuse them and make people upset just so I can do what I think is most important?

Yes. Just do what is most urgent and important on your list. Push back everything that is not urgent for you, even if it is urgent for others.

Something that made me smile today...

Normally, on my way to work, I'd pass by an old man who stands by the side to collect read New Papers or Today Newspapers... He'd then separate them by the types.

Today, I thought I heard him "arguing" with someone. Turns out, a kind lady was giving him some CNY goodies, and he was too "pai seh" to accept it.

So sweet!! Made me feel like there is hope in this world.

-smiles-

Wierd

Was on the train today, on my way to work, and my stomach started producing gastric again... So I took out my opaque waterbottle (with milk)and wanted to drink some milk to stop the growling..

Then lo and behold, some weird old auntie sitting on the privileged seat started waving to me.. and she motioned to me that drinking is not allowed on the trains... wah!!! felt so pissed off!!! Why is she so kapoh!!! Now I can't say I did not know that you can't drink on the trains. And I had to suffer gastric the whole trip to work..

What happened next? I just gave her a pissed off look, kept my bottle and looked away. Did not look at her after that throughout the trip... Angry.

Why can't people eat sweets and drink water from their water bottle on trains? It is necessary for pple with motion sickness and pple who are just thirsty!!! This is even stricter than the Primary Schools... ugh...

I believe I can't be the first person to be asking this...

Was strolling to the training room, thinking I still have 5 min before training starts... Thought I'd just go in early and "chope" a computer terminal first...

walked in, the lights were off, and there was a lady standing at the board writing: "competency test"

That's not my class! So I wondered if I went to the wrong room... But the announcement board outside says Room 3.8! So the lady suggested that I check with the customer service counter downstairs.

"Hi, I'm supposed to go for this training course, and the board says that it is at room 3.8. But I just came down from there and there is another event going on there. Could you help to check if the rooms for my class has changed?"

"Oh, the board says 3.8? Let me check my hardcopy records."

"Actually, my class is supposed to start at 9am and it is now 9am. You mean no one has come to ask you this question? I can't believe I'm the first person to be asking this.." (irritated look)

-after a phone call-

"Oh, my colleague has informed me that your class is still going on, but it is not a morning class, but an afternoon class."

-awkward silence, face turns red, mumbles a "thank you", and runs away...

---------------------------------------------------------

I can't believe I did this...

It's raining cats and dogs outside ...

I love the rain. I love the sound of it. I love the coolness that comes with it. I love hiding under the blanket and sleeping on a rainy day.

I love sitting on the beach on a cloudy day. I love to stare out at the sea and hear the waves. I love to feel the wind in my face, and the sand under my feet.

I love the clouds. I love the way they shift and change shape. I love the quietness of it all; movement without sound. So unassuming, so unpredictable.

Stop wanting things that you cannot have, slow down and breathe, and you will be happier.

Why am I at work?? Can't wait to go out and see the sea and sky......
