Moving out

Haven't been blogging much lately even though it was the holidays because:

1) I was constantly bugged by another colleague to do things (for pete's sakes! Its HOLIDAYS! grrrr).
2) I have training and meetings to attend.
3) I have another blog to entertain myself.
4) I hate having nothing but bad news to write about.

So...

Moving out. Not me but Fei... the colleague whom i rented out one of the rooms to, has quitted and moving back to Malaysia. At the precise moment as i am typing this, she is getting ready her stuff and waiting for her fiance to come pick her up. Seems like its only been a while when she moved in, but she just reminded me that it has been 3 years. Gosh, time really flies.

Wonder what i will do now that one more person has uprooted from my life. I guess the immediate effect would be, i will not have anyone to vent about work anymore at dinner or on the trip home from work. No more company home after badminton/dinner. No more ally in that crazy nuthouse we call school. No one to share the burden about work and dealing with buggy colleagues. No one to understand the situation and see eye to eye with. Man... it's starting to feel that life is a little nasty to me this half of the year by taking away the two people who really helped made my work life less heavy.

Still, it is not like i am not prepared for it. It's great Fei is moving on but seriously, it sucks for me personally. Hahaha. I think i am depressed but then not that depressed because i am quite numbed already. Usually i don't get emotional with such occasions because it doesn't seem to help in anyway. I coped by keeping a straight face and avoid dwelling to much into the emotional aspect of things, steel myself up and take the next step forward. Moping around will have to take place after the dust settles down in my own private space. Perhaps that's why i hardly get anxious about things and seldom flustered. However, irritability and frustration does tend to get ahead of me most of the time.

So what will happen tomorrow now that Fei is leaving? I don't know. I guess tomorrow will still have to happen somehow. I myself is just hanging in there, doing the best in what i believe in and trying to manage what i can one step at a time. Less help means more innovation. Less support means working smarter. Less ears to listen means more blogging. I'll get by... not forgetting there will still be others around that has helped me along and will need help to hang in there too...

Still, a little way more for me before my journey ends... got to keep moving forward.

无声胜有声

Occasionally, it is much better to be silent than to be heard.
Especially when other parties are getting all frustrated and upset.
The louder and hysterial they became, the calmer and silent one should be.

I find that this tactic works out best with people who cannot tolerate people who are calmer than them, because in their frustration to push others to 'react', they often are the ones that end up looking more stupid.

Ultimately, it is not even if one is right or wrong but how one can appear 'convincing' (i.e. calm, composed, rational) when pitted against one's hysterical opponent.

School holidays and what nots...

Been a quiet week for me... most of my new colleagues are off for training and fei is packing up to get ready to "fly" off already. As for me... just chilling out, doing some assessment practises, think about those nice things that happened over the last couple of days such as Mayday's concert, going prawning and having seafood dinner on Vesak Day holiday, as well as trying to keep my fitness level up by extending the time i spend in the gym.

Been quite good actually, i can actually do another 40-45min of cardio work out after my one hour weights training with my trainer. Also started with brisk walking/jogging around my estate for at least 30mins on days i do not have training or badminton. Done it 3 times so far and think that there is a general improvement in terms of the distance i can cover in 30-45mins.

The flat should be totally done by this week though we are expecting the gate to be up in another 2 weeks, as well as for the bedframe and dining table/bench around the same time. A little stressed now about how to 'furnish' the place. I kept worrying that i will buy something on impulse and get the wrong stuff/look for the flat. I think i am trying to get wilk to do it instead because i can't quite visualize it. Sigh. Quite a huge responsibility.

Brother came back from china for a bit and took a look at the new place. Quite a lot of nice comments from him (as opposed to the folks and aussie bro), probably because we have similar taste/style. Hahaha. He loved the glass door and rainshower so that says alot.

Two more days before my new colleagues are back from training so i better get some stuff ready for them and before you know it, it will be school term again. One more semester to go! *Take deep breath*

一颗苹果

午餐了。。。
该吃些什么呢？
照旧是对面咖啡店的饭盒吗？
还是开车出去兜兜风，找找午间套餐？

暑假了。。。
平时没有时间烦恼的问题，现在是一种打发时间的休闲活动。
开始对于午餐的满怀期待，但没过几天，又变成另一种伤神的例子。

今天吃什么？
明天又吃什么？
原本是个简单的问题，但在暑假里变得很复杂。

太远了。
太热了。
太贵了。
太腻了。
不行。。。我在减肥啦！
暑假的烦恼也只有如此而已啊！

我看还是待在这，吃着。。。
清清的，
淡淡的，
甜甜的，
简简单单的。。。

一颗苹果。

我们上报了！

Hahaha.

No worries... not in any 诽文la. Just sharing paper-space with my favourite band!

Both LS and I was interviewed by the New Paper after Mayday's concert and the story came out in yesterday's New Paper. So funny! We were both quoted and I was gushing like a true fan. Way to go for me! *chuckles*

Anyway, 玛莎 was really good in his solo performance though I wished i did not quite present myself as preferring his voice more than 阿信's in the story. 哈哈哈！阿信还是我的“最爱”！Even if there are more "manly" voices out there but 阿信肯定比较帅！ *grins*

又一次的五月天。。。

每一会在五月天的演唱会过后都有一种带着淡淡忧伤的兴奋。很矛盾吧？演唱会里让人”high"翻了天，过后心还是不停的“jumping", 让人喘不过气。在这当儿，又要背负着歌曲和演唱的结束与他们的离开。好难受哦！

哎！

我是个己理智又富有逻辑的女生，更是个该逐渐离开少年时期的那种偶像崇拜思想的成年人。我从不晓得偶像是什么，也不知道一个标准歌迷该具备些什么条件。我更加从不迷恋任何一位歌手或演员，因为我认为这是一种”小孩子“的行为吧。。。

但是。。。

我还是”哉“在五月天的歌曲里。

不过，我“哉”的还满开心的。哈哈哈！

阿信，怪兽，石头，玛莎 和冠佑，明年还要来哦！
