I accompanied Peiyun to a Red cross junior's 21st birthday party.
And it was the grandest birthday party i've ever attended.
Bungalow resorts at changi ferry point, "Fire eating" performances, singing and dancing...
It was just like a dinner and dance cum wedding dinner.
20th birthday's coming soon..
And i'm sure my 21st birthday wouldnt be that great
cos i'll be spending the day in camp with my fellow camp mates perhaps. =)

And now is the time to face the reality.
Sometimes i just wish there's someone with me to solve my problems.

I really think that going away on a trip
like a free and easy trip is really a learning experience.
And i'm sure i'll learn to be more independent after this trip.
If given the chance, i would love to go to an overseas mission trip to do some community work.
And i would want to try bagpacking too! =)
Would be away! =)

I was really stressed up just now..
I was very confused and I seemed so helpless.
But Ben said this to me:
"U're not born a juggler, so no nd to solve so many probs at 1 time..
Focus on the urgent 1 1st.. Take things easy"
And he was saying that i think too much..
Yes i really think that i need to relax myself and not stress myself up with problems that might not even occur.
Thanks Ben! =)

I do admit i always have a lot of thoughts in my mind.
On the train, buses, on my bed before i sleep and even in the showers.
And sometimes i would have so much thoughts in my mind that i cant remember whether i've already shampooed my hair or use the shower foam or washed my face. . .

Major changes
There will be a lot of changes in my company.
I'm leaving, another of my colleague's leaving.
And now my Assistant operation manager is leaving as well.
This is partly due to the negaive additions to the company recently.
Gone were the times where we could chat happily when the boss left early.
I really pity him.
As an assitant operations manager,
he even has to do manual chores like hanging curtains, setting up all the computers in the computer labs, moving and arranging the tables and chairs, changing of water barrel and all the odd jobs.
My other colleague who's leaving and I would help him with the odd jobs?
But what about the others?
They simply cant be bothered to give a helping hand.
And what were they doing?
They would just be chatting around and worst still,
some were even snacking.
And the fact is, it was THEY who wanted the tables and chairs to be moved,
the computer labs to be set up.
And why arent they giving us a helping hand?
They are just simply treating the old staffs like their slaves.
If you want something, do it yourself.
Even if you do not want to help, do not simply walk in to check whether things are done and walk away.
And just stick to your own roles and do not attempt to control the manager.
Even i cant take it!
This is just not the right attitude to treat people.
They are simply not giving any respect to him as a manager.
Not to mention my other 2 colleagues.
Some people are just like that.
They are selfish and they have only themselves to care about.
They just do not care whether how others are feeling.
When my manager told me that he was leaving.
I was very supportive of him.
I told him that he was always put others before himself
but would others appreciate?
The answer is no.
Only when things goes wrong, they'll just turn back and hold him responsible.
Since others did not even have empathy on you,
why should you be concerned about how the company's doing.
Some people will never be appreciative of what you've done for them.
I began curious and asked him if his friends/people around him always take him for granted and never appreciates what he has done for them.
Unsurprisingly, his reply was yes.
And he told me that he would just "forget and forget" (which used to be my favourite quote)
But this time round,
he simply cant take it anymore.
I've really seen a lot of ugly human behaviors these few days.
And I'm getting more and more disgusted by the ugliness of mankind!.
Where have all the good people gone to!?
I do agree that both of us are very similar in terms of character and we do share the same horoscope, but do i really want to suffer the sane fate as him?
Sometimes I believe these are the tall tale signs telling me to change the way i am...

"The pastures are never greener on the other side"
I've learnt my lesson.
i would always think that the pastures are greener on the other side
And i would be hesitant over the current pastures that i'm facing.
And i realised that i'm very very wrong.
When i cross over to the other side,
only then will i realise that the pastures on the other side was never as green as i expected.
When i realise my mistake and turn back,
I would realise the once green land would have turned into a barren desert.
Silly me.
Why am i always putting others before myself.
Why should i even care if the price would be too expensive for them?
It was because of all these considerations that i tried to sought out a cheaper resort.
And when all was not available,
I turned back to find that even fri night had been fully booked.
This means that the turnout would be even lower than expected.
I've created additional problems for myself.
Now I can only hope that nothing more goes wrong.

Thoughts
I had a long conversation with one of my fren
and i've learnt a lot today.
And i really have a lot of thougts in me at the moment...
He was sharing with me about how his colleague (lets call him A) was being bullied at work because he's always too nice.
Some clients had requested to come earlier before the exact time to do preparations for a wedding.
Not having the heart to reject them,
he agreed to make an exception even if it means he'll have to report to work much earlier.
This is when the real trouble started..
This client told another friend of his who wanted to hold an event there about A.
Likewise, if his friend could request to arrive at the event earlier,
He would want the same treatment as well.
The first time, the client requested to come 15 minutes earlier than the expected time.
A was agreeable.
However, people normally take things for granted.
Having realised that A could be easily taken advantage,
this time he requested for 1hour in advance.
But A decided not to accept his request this time round,
as this would means that he would have to wake up really early to prepare the venue for the client.
Unhappy that his request was being rejected,
the client decided to make a complain to A's boss,
explaining that if A has could make a compromise on 15 mins,
what difference does it make for A to agree to an hour in advance
as he had already breeched the rule of the company regardless of whether it is 15 mins earlier or an hour earlier from the expected time.
In the end, A had no choice but to agree to the terms of an hour in advance after orders from his boss.
This really pondered a lot of thoughts in me...
Sometimes when you are soft hearted
and you try to be nice to others as you wanted to make their life easier.
But what do you get?
Instead of being appreciated and a "thank you" from others,
You get a stab in the back.
Its like "digging your own grave" and "asking for a stab in the back".
Sometimes people just take things for granted when others treat them well.
However, if the person no longer gives u the same treatment,
Instead of feeling appreciated and saying a "Thank You" for what they've done for you
They'll rebut you and turn their backs on you,
expecting the same treatment that you have always given.
Does it really pay to be nice?
The answer is unfortunately no.
When you are too nice to others, people see this weakness in you and exploit it for their personal gains.
Welcome to the real world where people make use of one another for their own gains.
We live in a world where everyone is selfish.
And this explains why there are so many office politics around.
In the past, someone once told me that "we keep friends because we are making use of one another when the need for it arises"
When we need need a company for dinner, someone to talk to or even someone to hang out with.
What are we thinking of?
In nicer terms, we may say that we always have good friends around us whom we can turn to when we need them.
But Are we just making use of others in order to relieve our stress, or just plainly finding someone to hang out with to counter our boredom?
Do we only turn to them when we have need them and cast them aside when we do not need them?
Feelings of mankind are complicated.
And we certainly do not behave like mices who run around searching for food.
I was saying to my friend how this nice world would be if everyone treats the people around them nicely.
Then there would be no office politics, no wars, no crimes and there would be world peace.
He was laughing at my naiveness and saying this is crap.
And i believe that i'm always being too optimistic.
I used to think that as long as i treat everyone around me nicely,
there would be no reason for others to hate me.
And unfortunately i'm wrong.
No matter how nice a person you are,
there would always be someone out there who hates you,
hating you for whatever reason there is.
And my fren ended with this say:
"You come to this world crying because you know that you'll suffer later on. But you leave this world smiling because you know that all your burdens are finally gone."
No wonder some people says that living is more of a torture than dying. .
