Perfect
October 29, 2007 at 10:09 am (love, philosophy, wedding)
I just realised something. What makes a wedding perfect? A perfect venue? A perfect bridal package? Perfect guests? A perfect date? The perfect honeymoon? Perfect rings? Perfect gown?
No……
So, what really makes a wedding perfect?
It’s having the wedding with YOU.

the title says in all.
the hole is getting bigger, the sand is getting quicker. With no more substance, can the cuckoos withhold their empire?
We shall see.
I heck already.
friday night out
October 16, 2007 at 4:55 pm (R&R, fun)
Finally, a public holiday that falls on a Saturday. Went to Timbre with Mr Poto on Friday night. The pizza there was really good. Tried having a beer due to the promotion, but somehow I’m not really a beer person.
The live band playing that night was GOODFELLAS. They were not bad, in fact rather good as the night went on. The ambience was good, cushion seats, good scenery etc. I love the fact that it’s a clean and non-complicated environment. I had a great time. But poor Mr Poto had stomachache that night and kept visiting the toilet. Haha.
Timbre won’t be seeing the last of us…
A birdy-tale story
October 10, 2007 at 2:44 pm (philosophy, work)
Someone told me today..if I am unhappy, then I should show it out. To me, I feel that it is much easier to display my happiness to people around me. Especially if you are used to being the joyful, cheerful, happy, clown-like person. It is so much easier to put on a happier front.
Yes, I allowed myself to be upset last night. I sat through the car just keeping to myself, being quiet and silent. Instead, I caused Mr Poto to be distressed. And I just can’t bear to show my unhappy face to my parents. Hence, I still managed to pull back my happy front.
Today, during the meeting…it was a fiasco of ’shootings’. I was merely an audience there, with the full understanding that my main hope through that meeting is to find a solution and not to point fingers to why all the things have happened. Yes, everyone at that table have their own grievances, speaking up for the rest who are not there too. We bring with us to the table lots of grievances. I felt as though we are at a battlefield, and eventually if you see even deeper, it seemed even like a grave to me. Or rather, it seems like we are heading in that direction.
Morale…it has always been my tagline in this place. The underlying problem is very simple. Cuckoos want to keep everything under their wings. By not letting go off the things under their wings, they are not able to fly, needless to say…soar. Instead of being the queen and king cuckoos protecting the little worms below them, they let the little worms fly on top of them in order to cover their backsides. The worms just need to feel appreciation in all aspects, monetary and non-monetary. In time to come, the worms feel tired of carrying the burden of the cuckoos all around, and leave. In the end, the cuckoos will be left with everything still under their wings and no more worms to fend for them.
~The end~

moody
October 9, 2007 at 10:39 am (Blabber, mood)
Since last night, I have been feeling moody. Sianz about everything. Feel like going somewhere else where nobody can find me. Don’t really feel like talking, and guess what, I’m losing my voice too. What are the chances.
In order to cheer me up, Mr Poto brought me to the arcade at Marina to vent my frustrations last night after Jap class. It’s been soooooooooooooooooo long since I last step into the arcade to play. I really miss those uni days. It felt good banging all those machines. Days were simpler. I was happier.
I felt better after last night. But somehow, I am still feeling moody deep down inside. I don’t know what’s bothering me. Perhaps, I am just not happy now. Do I need a reason for that?
Knowing that I will be meeting with the management to discuss about last week’s PROBLEMS makes me feel even worse. Feedback, feedback and feedback… the previous leader has feedback last term on the horrendous condition of term start and yet it got even worse this term. What’s the point of feedback then? And I don’t think that the Cuckoos are going to be present at the meeting. Do they seriously think that everything is in lala land???
I am fed up. I just don’t know why. I feel restless. I feel tired. I feel … I …
It’s over
October 8, 2007 at 5:36 am (work)
As the title goes, ‘it’s over’. This phrase embodies so many different emotions in different circumstances. When it comes to a relationship, this phrase usually signifies sadness for the parties involved. But now, this phrase when applied to me is pure happiness. The FIRST week of the term is finally OVER!
It has been a week of pure stress with all the last minutes screw-ups. Parents coming to the center with no teachers to teach, arranging for teachers to take the classes at the very last minute, making sure that I am there to solve every single problem that comes our way, not being able to fall asleep due to the mind presuming all the problems that will arrive the very next day, waking up early in the morning to get there to be on standby, hearing my name called like a ‘million’ times, doing my best to make sure that the teachers are all alright at the end of the day especially for the new teacher, and teaching my classes the next second as though nothing has just happened to me.
The above scenarios sort of sum up the week that I have just gone through. I am truly amazed at how the system is so screwed up. Imagine not knowing who you are going to teach till the very last minute. There is no point in blaming anyone for this lack of competancy. In fact, I am quite thankful for this experience. I feel that through this, I have grown stronger and my stress limit has increased by a great height too. (Maybe I am just saying this to make myself feel better…haha)
Well, nonetheless….it’s over!

I have officially met the ONE person that is the MOST DIFFICULT to work with. Work is work. No matter what, as leaders, one should not inject personal feelings inside the decision-making process.
It’s OK to disagree…we are humans after all. But when things don’t go your way, do you think that it’s professional to get angry? No matter what, you should always try to treat your colleagues with dignity and respect. But, somehow…not everyone understands this. “What! SAY! Repeat!” saying all these without even looking at the other party. Does that make a good leader? I don’t think so.
a rocky start

The first day of the new term…a rough start. Will we end up like diamonds? I have my doubts. It’s just the first day, and I feel my energy drained already. How to cope for the whole term???
Certain things are very simple, but people complicate things. Why are we all created with only 2 hands? This is to let us know our limits…we can only handle so many things at one time. When the person on top wants to handle everything to themselves, that’s the downfall of the pany-com. Everything comes to a halt eventually….jam….jam….jam….pending….pending…..pending….for….approval…..
I truly find it unbelievable how we have been surviving. With all the chaos in the backstage, we still bring a smile to the stage. Actresses - that’s what we are, pure good oscar acting.
The worms under the little birdies should really get an award…for coping with all the birdsh*t all these while. I need a shelter from all the sh*t!
