Treasure

Treasure them. They might not be as educated or knowledgable as you. But they have been around long enough to figure out what matters. Listen to them while they can still tell tales and still remember.

Belief

I wrote Dwayne’s words in the margin of the picture out of fear that one day I may forget them. It had an unexpected effect. I looked at the photo of all of those 5-year-old faces standing in front of Jefferson Davis Elementary, surrounded by the words: “It is always easier to want to believe in something than to say it never was true.” It became a grim school motto.

Dwayne’s proverb warned about false prophets and the mechanism they use to enter our lives. His wisdom still shook me to the core—but then again, he was 6. I put the paper down on the little broken bedside table and turned out the light.

As I began to drift off, I had a passing thought: We often find things when we need them. Maybe all the scraps of paper Mom had saved over the years weren’t a product of her nuttiness at all but were meant for me to unearth every now and then as some sort of amulet of protection.

I sat up in the dark. I turned on the light and looked at the class picture again. Truth operates in an opposite curve from conspiracy. The further one gets from conspiracy the more preposterous it looks, while distance only gives the truth more clarity. I saw something new. Buried in Dwayne’s words: “It’s always easier to want to believe in something than it is to say it never was true”—was also hope. Dwayne was saying the ability to believe is always present, always available. Belief gives us a power to see beyond the obvious. In the face of loss or disappointment, it is the source of renewal and endurance, the foundation of the science of second chances.

I was momentarily startled by a night noise. Now I recognized it as the central heat kicking in. Knowledge is the ultimate protection against the dark. But I admit I laughed when I realized my first thought was to wonder how Eye the Monster was doing.

I lay back down and closed my eyes. In an instant I was with Dwayne about to cross the street on that cold afternoon before Christmas. He laughed and put his hand on my shoulder. We looked both ways and ran across the street to Daughtery’s Drugstore. I felt like I was in one of the good bedtime stories. I went to sleep and had pleasant dreams.

ENFP - DESCRIPTION

ENFPS are warm, enthusiastic people who can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm give them the ability to inspire and motivate others.

They are typically very bright and full of potential, their love for life make them strive to make the most out of everything. They are good at most things which interest them and any task they undertake, they find it easy to talk their way in or out of anything. ENFPs are very likely to pursue several different careers during their life.They may seem directionless and without purpose to others but they actually know how to keep consistent as long as what they do is in line with their values. ENFPs needs to feel they are living their lives according to their true selves and that they are doing what they believe is right. They will constantly strive to achieve inner peace and keep their enthusiasm. They are generally intense people who rarely lose touch with themselves and possess a strong and highly evolved system of personal value.

ENFPs need to focus on following through with the projects they start. Unlike other extroverted types, ENFPs need to spend some time alone to center themselves and step back and look the overall picture. Some ENFPs may fall into the habit of dropping a project as soon as they get excited about a new possibility.

ENFPs sometimes make serious errors in judgment. They quite easily perceive the truth about someone or something thanks to their great intuition, but when applying judgment to their perception, they may fail jumping at the right conclusions.

ENFPs have exceptional social skills. They are truly interested in people and place great importance on their interpersonal relationships. Because ENFPs have a strong need to be liked, they can sometimes "overdo" in order to win others's acceptance. But growing older generally help ENFPs to balance their need to be true to themselves and their need to be accepted, turning them into individuals that bring out the best in others. Their great intuition and flexibility with people make them very likable. ENFPs are very good at manipulating people because they find it very easy to talk anyone into or out anything they want. However most of them would not abuse this skill since it would not jive with their value systems.

ENFPs neglect details of everyday life and rather focus on possibilities. They would very happily skip any maintenance-type tasks which can be quite frustrating for ENFPs' family. Because ENFPs get quickly bored with everything, they have hard times overcoming difficulties in their relationships, specially marital ones. However they strong sense of values will keep many of them committed to their relationships. They simply need to find people that can adapt changes and new experiences that will bring the excitements ENFPs need.

ENFPs are happy people who get unhappy when they are confined to strict schedules or mundane tasks. To avoid this kind of situations, ENFPs should find a work position that give them a lot of flexibility, where they can work with people and ideas. They do not need a lot of supervision as they are quite productive and get easily excited about what they are doing. They place great importance into independence and freedom of opinion and hate controlling others.

As a conclusion, ENFPs are definitely charming, ingenuous, risk-taking and people-oriented individuals. They will successfully use their gifts to fulfill themselves and those near them, as long as they are able to remain centered and follow through on their ambitions.

How to be a boss

Treatments your employees as how you want them to treat ur customers.  Smile and greet them. Dont shout at them or they will pass it on.

Best boss: didnt scold ees for mistakes. Look stressed n think about how to explain to mgt. Ee feel bad

Teamwork: I give you the things to help you out. Shouldnt turn around n bite them n say that things go wrong coz the data is wrong.

Hot - if u can make person feel comfortable 4 first 90 days most likely to stay

Hope is not a strategy.  Not hope for this/that to happen. It should be plan!

Happening uncle

The uncle who plays the electric mini keyboard for a living at woodlands is super happening.  Today he played dj got us falling in love.  Although I always try to donate when I walk past him,  you really wana donate more when the song and his playing Is just so awesome xD

Two wrongs

Two wrongs do not make 1 right

What we must do is go back and right the wrong such that we can start to do right.

You cant put another right on top of the wrong and hope that things will resolve itself.

Toilets

Using them for not what they are made for, but for their best alternative use

Hiding in and crying.

2 working days didnt help.

I feel like going away for a month will not help to ease the depression and the shame.

Maybe I really should just switch company.

Sad
(  that the dinner turned out like this for me, i dont have high expectations but I at least expect to be fed. Getting a goodie bag would be a plus. Having a table to call home is a must. But I had none of these. )

depressed
because I made mistakes. The scolding was harsh. And my miatakes were not really my fault but due to improper instructions and poor leadership and guidance

exhausted
from the skipping of breakfast for 3 days, having lunch at my table, for 2 days straight, burning midnight oil in the office, working weekends and public holidays, missing yoga class, missing my ipl appointment, putting everything else on the back burner

Tired
Just feel like giving it all up

Disappointed
Feel that none of the effort was recognised or worth it
That you don't understand at all what im thinking or how I feel.

I think I shall just disappear for a while.

A happening weekend?

Now a days when the weekend rolls around I just wana lie down on my bed at home and sleep and not go out.

This weekend was relatively happening where I forced myself to go out although all I wanted to do was just lie down

Friday night tong n I went to jurong east to eat 1.50 sushi! Thanks tong!

Sat while tong went for ippt, my uncle n aunt was nice enough to pick me up, and I stopped by to say hi to grandma. Then we went for lunch with 6 of my aunts and 1 cousin. Aunty anita, shona, laura, swee yee, rita, esther. I took the train home coz there was no space in the car.

Went to tong's place. I just wanted to lie down. But we went out for dinner with his family at novena's soup spoon.

At night we played horror games with his sister. I screamed so loudly when the monster approached I was worried that his mum would wake up. The game glitched so the 3 of us we just watched the video guide instead of playing the game..

After that was some ff.. unlocking more content..

Sunday rise n shine to my paper's love hunt! We met mel n xm at bugis at 12.30. Run run run. Share answers.  It wasnt tiring running around bugis + & bugis junction. What really exhausted me was when we ran up the escalator when it broke down =_= oh and we ate a really nice cinnamon bun for free. And I got new earphones!  Yay! But the goodie bag.. it sucked. We were 18th position out of 80. Mel n xm were 20+. With our their help we really wouldn't have made it so quickly.  It ended 6+ =_=

Went back to tongs place n took the bus home. I tell u the journey was 1 hr + coz I waited 1/2 an hour for the bus T-T washed ray's cage, bathed, had dinner..

Then it was time for our ff raid! Quite sad coz seems like zepo will b leaving us.. sigh.. but t8 down! Just need t9.

Wintery joined our fc! After showing her around,  I took a quick 15 min nap.. and headed to nisha's house... for world cup finals!

I was so tired.. and neither side scored.. even at the 90 min mark.. they went into overtime.. after I fell asleep, there was a goal! Thankfully my 3 friends screamed so loudly I woke up.
And got to watch the replay.. then I zzzz again.. until I woke up to them kissing and hoisting the trophy..

Fun stuff.  Fun stuff.. zzzzzz

Maybe I should blog more

what's the truth

Hey _____! thanks :)  your message really means alot to me :)

Numbers are a tiresome game.. we need more people so that they can raid coz of the weekly lockout.. but.. im so scared that this will happen again.. i genuinely liked them.. and hoped that we could all be friends.. I never imagined that we were so insignificant to them that they would leave us, and the linkshell as well... and everything that they said or did suddenly all feel like lies..  and i'm surprised by how hurt i feel that they left.. one by one too, giving me hope that maybe one of them would stay.. but they all left anyway.. and when privately i asked them why they either told me a beautiful lie or hinted at something sinister...

But i'll listen to your words.. and try to only think of the good things.. and forget the bad.. and be strong :)

take care ______:D all the best for ur studies! thanks for caring :) means alot to me!

I wish

I wish I had nvr met you.

Then I would never have invested my time and effort in you.

Then it wouldn't hurt when all 11 of you left.

Some people are selfish.

Other people are gullible.

You must have said horrible things about us in your personal chat group for the whole group to turn against us.

Liars, cheats, ingrates. I cant believe what your selfishness have led you to become.

I feel utterly betrayed.

I think about those good times together and i wonder if it was all lies.

And it doesnt make sense because I have never met any of you in person other than hearing ur voice.

But still it hurts.

Emo nemo

You make me ask myself if its about me or its about the money

Mr guru

I met my old fav teacher mr guru!

He still looks exactly the same!!! Still tall n cool:D

Then I was asking him if he still drove his motorcycle.  He said no. And I told him I rmb that he used to ride it and everybody though that it was cool!

Hope I didnt come across as obsessive compulsive!  >.< and freak.him out or sth.

But still!  So cool!!

Chiho.. where are u?

My guild recruited this guy one day. He just popped out of no where. We just got our house so we were really excited and all when he offered to help with the furniture. He kept buying stuff using gil and we kept trying to stop him from spending his gil. But he still went ahead to buy the furniture.  The house looked awesome because of him!

Then one day at 6am, he just left the guild! We tried looking for via the loadstone but we can't find him on our server, we tried the other servers but we cant find him on any of the servers in FF. And its not possible to that he changed his name. We asked our guidies but no one remembers how he joined or whose friend he was!

We miss him! And his furniture is still here.

Did he disappear because he was banned? How can we find out?

I feel like

Where ever I go im surrounded by screaming people

I wish everyone would just shut up and give me some peace so I can do my work!!!

The image we portray

I guess it can be said that im a very strange person?
When im better off then others I feel bad and would like to share what I can with others?
If it cant be shared I will just downplay what I have so that it seeks like im the same as others. Im not somebody who likes boasting or flaunting or showing off what I have,  I just feel Embarassed.

Unless its something that I have really worked very hard for.

I dont feel proud that I earn more money than my colleagues who have worked many more years than me
Its just that they were not as fortunate to have the chance to pursue a degree
I play it down and always say that im veey poor.

But sometimes I realised that this gets in my way sometimes. 

For example when I was having the massage and the nice masusues was talking to me, and telling me about how she earns less than 2k, I shouldn't hav felt bad and played down how much I earn. In the service industry they would want to serve the rich and famous,  not the poor and desolate. Her attitude was still good but not as conscientious after that.

Im still wondering about how I should have asked eveshi personally if he wanted to keep the crop instead of telling him id put it in the guild chest. Think ill pm him later tonight. .

Just leaving work

Im just leaving office

Did something wrong. Felt ashamed? Embarassed? Im not sure how to describe this feeling? Indignant?  Upset?  At myself? How could I have made this mistake!

Saw my cep tumbling from the sky. So awkward.

I gotta buck up!

Asked myself what are my priorities in life.

When im on my death bed will I regret not thrashing that monster once more??

Or earlier in life,  when im in need of money,  will I regret working hard on the wrong things (ff) and not my career n not having enough to last my lifetime?

Im priotising ff, exercise (yoga), work, but actually it should be the other way round.

Especially when they left. A game cant replace friendship. You are just in a party coz its compulsory.  Some of these friendships may not even make it beyond the guild.  I may nvr c these ppl my whole life. What's the most important then?

My boss said this :

Do it once, do it right!

Can be interpret  ed in so many ways

1) To do it only once, you gotta do it right! - motivation to do it once
2) if u do it right, you only gotta do it once - motivation to do it right

Which motivation is right? 

Well I find the phase itself motivating.

I knew

I knew I was right when I had this sad wistful feeling

And I knew that good times like this wouldn't last

Omg hrms boss

Hrms boss is so cute

Staff was complaining seriously to hrms boss about vital
'U know ar the idiot keep telling me cannot see the records.  I tell him so many times. Click display. He keep saying display cannot see. But can view. *wtf expression* can press view liao means can see record right?? Its the same thing!! Still want me to extract the record for them n spoon feed them' *very exasperated*

Boss *thinks seriously* 'ah ok. I think I know what is the problem liao. It can only be one thing. That vital officer must be blind. So what you must do now, is you write to vital and check with them, on whether officer is blind." *very serious analytical,  matter of fact tone*

Omg I couldn't stop laughing!!!!!

This really made my day

Only..

Only a few ppl really care.. the rest are just curious..

A man of his word

Today I experienced for the first time what it feels like to be awestruck

By someone who is magmonious and a man of his word!

My boss!
