Cen xi ing yen
People come and go..you might be one of people who ever come in to my life or you might be the one that had leave me, both phsycally and mentally.
My mum often tells us to spend most of the time that we have with the loved one, cause sooner or later we will no longer be together. One of us will eventually leave the world
Back then i used to argued with my siblings, or with my parents. It's stupid but when I was little, I just like to argue over silly things. Everytime i finished arguing i would be emotionally saying mean words such as asking them to leave me, or i want to move out from home, or simply like i hate this family. Sometimes i complaint to my mum how bad my siblings were or how annoying they were, i just want to leave them and was hoping i was the only child. Then she would say that our family are not forever lasted, one day i will choose my own path, she will leave the world ( u know what it means), we all will be separated one of another. when that day comes, you probably regret everything you ever thought about disliking your family.
I might be the one who left people in my life, physically i mean. I am far away from my home, my friends, and my relatives. Not that i want to, it was happened to be...
I was 13 when for the first time in my life i have to leave home to penang for study. That was during a riot 1998. My parents decided to send me n my sis away from home. I was 13 and i was too young to be alone. I cried and i cried i left my family, my grandma and my friends. I dont understand why i have to face such a new life out there without knowing anything. I wasnt ready, even i still have my sis. I cried when i was just arriving penang, also when i had to go back home to indo after 6months. Crazy, i know, i shud be happy when i was going home, however i was not. I was settling down for months tried so hard to enjoy my life in penang, just having bunch of new good friends and then my mum forced me to home. Again, i cried i didnt want to leave penang.
When i grow older, its a high school time where we all graduated and everyone had chosen their own path. I was sad on graduation day not mentioning education but friends, my friends since i was very little ( i went to the same school for 14 years)... I was happy the fact we all grown up, we graduated but i screamed indeed that i didnt want any change in my life. I still want to have the same activity, i want my friends who know me well, i want to see them 5days a week, i dont want to have new friend, new class, new uni and new environment. I was crying again inside..
Then my uni life was okay i mean it was not as scary as i thought it would be. Still, i always miss those high school moments and friend. It was different in uni and school. In high school u guys will see each other every day, every month til years. In uni, every classes have different people, and that means new friends and new friends. I am not saying i dont like to socialize and having new friend, cos i do, i have new friends then becoming my close friends. It just me, i just dont like any change happened.
When i started to work for the first time (i was 19), i really want to go back to my school life. Working life is sucks, its real and its hard. It is still hard whenever i have a new job with new people, new place, i am always worried and scared, again i dont like any change...
I was 23 when i came here to study, again, i left my parents, my brother, my friends, my relatives and my students and workmates... I dont know if my teacher friend notice of that time or not, but i dropped tears when i was watching my kids dancing...i soon realized shit i am gonna leave all of them..all of them... Leaving everything i have here and starting new life there.,, with zero...
as soon as i was ready to go to airport, my tears just wouldnt stop running..I cried like a baby, again, the fact that tomorrow would never be the same. There wont be me having a breakfast together in dining room, there wont be me coming to workplace, there wont be me catching up every weekend with my best friends. And there wont be any more life story in jakarta. Sounds scary? It was for me that time, and of course not anymore now,,
It has been almost 4 years i am here, my life has changed since then, i am married to my soulmate, i have a good life, i am mentally and physically happy. Life is great. I have grown up. I passed those childish life and leaving period and i learnt a lot.
I came here, i have new friends, and old friends remain the same. I might be different and far away in distance, yet my heart, my memory is still the same me..
My brother one day put his status mentioning that he wish that i were still there at home. I was worried then i asked an explanation..it was not a big things but its important to us, as a family. What i try to say is, for him to say something about me is huge. I remember he used to spend his time with his friends, sometimes i think he loves them more than us. He said his life has changed since we left home.
As i told u before wht my mum always said that magic words is true. When we are together, often time we dont appriciate what we have, and when people is gone we regret and its too late. When we were still at home we argued a lot, jealous with each other, and he sometimes tried to embarrased me..but look now, we even understand each other even more, we discuss things, and try to support each other as a family. That proves a theory, we often times dont realize how much that people means to us, til they left us or they are away.
I totally understand now, mum is right... I will never have childhood life anymore, i will never have a chance being her lil daughter, its all past. We should make the most of it, spend your quality time with your family and person you loved. One time u see them, another time they leave..it is all natural.. People come and go,,,,
My grandmas might had leave me but her position is irreplaceable in my life. I may be away from home but my heart is still with them... My friends are come and go in my life, but i remain the same, i value the old friends and welcome the new friend..Time is always moving, life is moving on....
i appriciate even more every single day as much as i can. I spend happy time with most people i see, live, and worked with... I try to do the best and never look back. I might leave u, but i never forget you...I might be not a best person whoever cross your mind, but believe it or not i tried to make the most of the time we had.. Family, husband, friends and relatives....
For those people who still could have time together with the family, be grateful and be happy, enjoy it and whatever happens to u and ur loved one, cen xi ing yen...no matter what, life is goin on, u will always miss them..
People come and go,,,so do you,,,so do i,,,make the most of it people...

I love traveling, how about u?
What is your interest? What is your favorite? What things can make u extremely happy? What is your motivation, things that somehow booze your energy and mood. Something that leads u to work harder and harder...Have u ever think about all of those question in your life? As this does not refer to a person.. But a hobby, or a favorite even a collection. .
Whatever it is, i support and respect your personal interest. It does exist in me. My whole life is inspired by it.
Perhaps ur motivation is money, u just happy to make money as much as u can,, or u like to do shopping, which some of my friends do.. They spend lots for shopping, they enjoy it, they love it and that is their satisfaction. Some people love toys anime and game kind of that, they play game almost everyday, visit shop all the time and they just love it.. And what is mine? Im pretty sure half of people in this earth have the same interest as mine, TRAVELING..
I love traveling more than anything. Growing up with parent who love to travel and open mind.i even wish i could be a tour guide (not anymore since being a tourist is much more fun than become a guide, lol)...i am addicted to traveling esp overseas. No offense but i just find country other than indo is more interesting.
Everyone has their own reason behind their love to hobby, for myself i find it as everything of my life. Deep and kinda silly yet its true. I never really realize back then when i was still back home.. Most the time i always travel with my family or friends. These time i travel quiet a lot by myself, and my husband..
I am not a backpacker, i honestly cant stay in backpacker motel and carrying those big bag behind, jump to a city to another city without fixed plan and just go whenever they want . I consider myself as a average traveller. Meaning, i like to plan my own destination, buy my own accommodation n transportation, do some research about city that i will visit, how to get there and what to eat (though it doesn't really matter since i only eat veggies), and i like to hold a map, and walking around according to the map. Take my time, without being rushed and the thing is .. I totally enjoy my holiday...
It gives me months of happiness, from the day i buy plane ticket, then planning, then researching, coming up is the d day, and at the end of my journey, the memory remain still. So can you imagine why i say traveling is like apart of my life. When i come back from one journey, then i will plan another one, and go on, go on and so on....
Traveling is my life....
I dont spend money on clothes, bags, shoes, fragrances, Electronics, and drink. However i quiet save a lot for holiday. It is like a treatment for being such a hardworking days. It gives me motivation to save more money, boost my mood for heading the days and lots happiness i ever feel..
I can say 2011 is my year...i go out a lot more than i ever done and i never expected. That is because my tony's new job and also my job schedule is pretty flexible to get out from or when my family paid a visit....
I sometimes spend the weekend to city that tony has to work in, i took leaves lots of time and that is a sacrifice for what i love doing.. While he's working, i take my time walking around the city, exploring a bit, not too far though as i dont drive... I enjoy every single moment i can... Even tough i find some cities are quiet boring T.T...lol
As i take an advantage from his working time ( and also accommodation are provided) , i find myself lucky this year. First of all, i spend my holiday away from home...second is i love to do it..then somehow i always can take off day and leaving the city...and last but not least its only happen lots last year..
As this 2012 i only will travel 3-4 times, as my new job will not allow me to have more off... But still i feel lucky.. Life is fair..when i dont work much hours last year, i was given spare time to enjoy the life. And when i need to earn more money, here i am in 2012 i have to work super hard as i wont have much leaves ahead...
my point is..try to enjoy the moment and time that u have regardless....spend quality thing that u like with the one u love... Make the most of it...and if ur time is limited due to ur job or ur activity, always at least look forward that one day the day will come and u may have plenty of time doing what u love.. People say work hard play hard...
I always believe that our life is unpredictable, it may ends tomorrow or not at all. I support everyone who live their life positively and happily without any regret. Make the most of it people..u all deserve to be happy....

im back
There is nothing i can say but sincerely thank you to lenz, as she gives me a motivation just after i read her blog about me.
I always think my name or even myself has been barely mentioned in someone life before (excluded tony of course,lol). I know people do notice me sometimes about how do i look or how well i am to be a proper role in one situation but to bring my name into their story, its like pheew...i feel amazing.
Knowing that my story could inspire someone or my attitude might bring some positive value to someone, what can i ask for more....
I was thinking a lot around couple months ago that for some reason my friends would start to forget about me. First thing, i live far away backhome.. second thing, i dont have blackberry therefore i am no longer existed in chatting kinda thing, plus recently my friends do not appear much in msn ... third thing, even my facebook has not much comments (with thousand friend list seems like nothing) and also i rarely update my status.. even worse, sometimes my messages got no reply, neither text message or facebook message. I dont get any contact as well with few best friends..
And that made me lil' upset...
I kept thinking what is wrong with people? do they forget me? or do i do something wrong??? why do they change? so on and so on and so on..
That was months ago...not now..
Cos i started to realize..heeeyyy...life is changing, life is moving forward and faster, so do we.. then i remember.. i am 26 now.. that means most of my friends are same age.. they are adult now, some of them get married already, some of them are pursuing their career, some are still studying higher degree, some are overseas, and some are still single but happy and enjoy their life...
My points are we are different now...our life is not the same like years ago when we were still young, when we didnt have much to worry about. Back then we only care of friends, society, hang out, existence, boyfriend or girlfriend.. we hang out a lot, contact a lot, did some fool things and that time friends are forever, friends are number one, friends are everything and only.....
But now look at me, look at us... we're growing into a better person and that need huge efforts, need time, need investment.. Friend is still important but the meaning of friendship grows differently.. and that what i realize and i learn...
i learn that seeing ur friend every single day doesnt mean they are ur best friend.. for example, u go to work everyday, meeting the same workmate, doent make u a very good friend. In fact, i find these days, catch up or contact with them once in a while bring me greater meaning.. in other words, i appreciate them more. a quality time we spend with them is more important now..
For your information, myself now only catch up with friend once in a while, since im married, i put my husband as priority, (I know it had been some extreme change cos i hang out a lot before)..
Consequently, I do try to understand the same situation as well.. i now keep thinking positive that people has their priority at the moment, why dont i just respect that and we can catch up when both of us have a free time... thats winning winning situation...
I learnt that no one can beat my old fella's... please dont assume it wrong...please dont think i am so old fashion person. I am very open minded person, i can always accept people no matter what they are. It just me and friendship itself. I learn that my old best friends are the best. They have been watching me since i was still selfish, kiddo, and childish to be a grown up me.. They will never judge me (sometimes the do, lol) and stab me. They will always be themself in front of me. and i always be the same ordinary awei in front of them. yes, we dont see each other everyday, but when we do, we make the most of it. we laugh, we share, we trust and we love each other. we bring back lots of story that no one has ever remembered.. and that what i love about old friend. a very good feeling..
as i meant above that we all have different priority now, i learn to respect what they are more. I learnt that the more we grow up, the more we respect each other. at least i find it right.. i dont sweat a small thing between friends anymore. yes sometimes i may be upset but try to think the other way around. I may not always give a present but i always do support them and always open my heart for them. Maybe they do not know that what i always expect from them, is just to be listened. I dont want fancy bday present, or treated like princess, all i want is their time and their heart. and i make sure i will give the same as well..
and last but not least..i just want to say this to all my friend who may or may not read this ...that i will be always the same old person u have known from the first time.. yes we maybe not see each other often, not contact oftenly but i do put u guys in the same spot i used to keep u guys, it wont change, will remain same and safely. I love u guys...and i wish u all the happinness, the best and i hope to see u guys very soon...^^ love u all...

about good,,,
doing good things are not always going that well.. somehow, it just happens to be even worse....
i always think about what have i done? have i done good enough to be a person... i can say i am not a cold blood person, i am easily touched and cried when i meet sad situations.. however, to pronounce myself as a kind people, i think its too exagegriate....
but one thing i always know is, doing good things are important..it is absolutely taught by all religion in a world... its also bring u somehow positive energy... and doing good things do not mean by being a monk, or a priest, nor asking us to save the world... i always believe that in all human being kind,whether or not we are perfect, we always have a small part to contribute good things...
doing small things which is good seems to be easy.. let me break briefly, as a student we can do simply being a good student, dont cheat or too much lazy, try to respect our teacher as much as we can (know sometimes its hard), help our classmate who need our help and so on and on...
as a child, the simplist things are by loving our family, respect our parents, dont let our parents worry about us, do or help some house work without they ask us to, or even give our parents a massage... that is such a basic thing that we should do...
as a friend, we can always positively support them, dont take too much advantage from our friend..and so on and so on...
as a workmate, we can always help each other to get the goal, we support each other, work as a team and respect every of them (esp, junior) as equal...
but what as a human, as a individual...
lots lots of things we can always do,, i know sometimes, we're just being lazy to step out from our comfort zone...
my mum always teach me some theory about goodness...
believe it or not,,,
by doing good things or even think of positive will give us positive aura, which is in a long term it build our character and our wisdom...
by doing good it can reduce our karma, not entirely clear our karma, but it prevents bad karma / bad things happen to us... which i always believe, somehow, we are blessed from something tht we dont want to...
by doing good actually is a medicine of stress and problems. doing good comes from good mind, positive thinking.. therefore, it somehow lessen your stress and you can control your feeling to be happy...
doing good is an universal language for all human being, we dont have to interact by language with some strangers.. just smile, respect and be polite, automatically we all are friend..
forgiveness is one kind of goodness,, do u know by forgiving other people, we actually forgive ourselves.. try it, i cant tell u how it works, it has to be practical then u will understand what it means...
and last, for people like me, doing good is for fulfilling my "ego".. its a bit weird but my theory is i feel happy when i see people surround me happy. then if i help people, people will be happy and i will be happier than ever...
despite of all, even we have positive attitude to do, things are not always going as well as we hope to...
i believe u guys ever had some sort of experience like, working so hard but got blamed, tried to be neutral among friends who argued, ended up they fight each other, or when u already sacrifise ur time, energy and job, things getting even worse... and so on so on...
well, again, i believe there is always another way for us to be better.. maybe yes, i was rejected for being good, it doesnt mean anytime anywhere i will be the same. perhaps, its just not in a right time to do good... a bit disappointed sometimes, yet it gives me more things to learn...
here i share some quotations which i like, i hope u enjoy,,,^^
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
— Mother Teresa
"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it...always."
— Mohandas K. Gandhi
"A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special."
— Nelson Mandela
"It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result."
— Mohandas K. Gandhi
"You are protected, in short, by your ability to love"
— J.K. Rowling
"When someone has been mean to you, why would you want to be good to them?' 'You wouldn't want to. That's what makes it hard. You do it anyway. Being good is hard. Much harder than being bad..
— Jeanne DuPrau
"The most basic and somehow forgettable thing is this: Love is not pain. Love is goodness. And real love--it's less shiny than solid and simple."
— Deb Caletti
"I smiled back and I thought
how incredible that was, that they would find the time to smile. There was goodness in the world still, even if you couldn’t always see it."
— Jenny Valentine
"But goodness alone is never enough. A hard, cold wisdom is required for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil."
— Robert A. Heinlein
"Treat other people's home as you want them to respect yours because what goes around comes around."
— Ana Monnar

"When someone has been mean to you, why would you want to be good to them?' 'You wouldn't want to. That's what makes it hard. You do it anyway. Being good is hard. Much harder than being bad..
— Jeanne DuPrau
"The most basic and somehow forgettable thing is this: Love is not pain. Love is goodness. And real love--it's less shiny than solid and simple."
— Deb Caletti
"I smiled back and I thought
how incredible that was, that they would find the time to smile. There was goodness in the world still, even if you couldn’t always see it."
— Jenny Valentine
"But goodness alone is never enough. A hard, cold wisdom is required for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil."
— Robert A. Heinlein

alone,,
There's always be a moment when u feel empty and seems like u loose ur energy, u don't feel like doing anything, everything surrounds u doesnt interest u at all, u start to think the worst scenario, and u let ur feeling control ur day...
i call it Moody and Lonely
and I hate it,,,,
as a girl, i am very sensitive person. u can tell by my zodiac, i'm cancer. a very moody person, and complicated...
i can say there will be 2-5 days in a month (exactly on PMS time) i turn out to be such a cry baby, crying without any reason, need extra attention from my husband and let my mood control my day... do i like it? Nope, in fact i hate it...
I always wonder is there anyone who get exactly the same symptomps like i have? instead of being grumpy, i am moody and more like pathetic,,,
when i get moody, i feel lonely... i still remember back then when i was teenager, i rather spent whole days locked myself in my room, doin nothing,,, I didnt talk, i didnt show my feelin to everyone at home and all i did just being lazy around, jazz songs and, drowning myself to tears..
I don't know why it happens so bad to me,,,
the fact is i am very positive person. most of the time.
but when i feel lonely, i like to put all the blames on my shoulder, and i start to cry like a baby, wishing someone comes and helps me, no one ever did though, not until now (my husband is the only one who get me)....
I always think, no one ever understand me, my habit, my "sickness" and even myself....
let me think about short description about lonely in my version,,,
lonely is a situation where u are not longer in a same condition u've had before, it slightly change and it moves ur feeling from "many" to "any",
and or when u feel u stand alone with or without people existing surround u...
a friend of mine, we have been working together for almost a year, one day i saw him and i could feel his emptiness at work, then i asked him, are u ok? he said he was ok, he was fine, but he just feel something different. I said, is it emptiness? then he said it was more like lonely.
I found lonely is deeper than emptiness. and i surely know why he said that. our workplace has been no longer fun like it used to. I know people always come and go, this time everyone seems letting go...
he felt everyone is leavin and even himself, therefore it affects everyone who cares of this small team. well i do too, i feel its not as fun as we used to be, no, Its Not fun anymore. most of my work mate loose their spirit to work, due to the managers problems and so on. They work like a corpse, sometimes they complaint (they barely complaint before) and It all affects me, I FEEL SO MUCH LONELY when i am not working with them.
this is the first description of my loneliness
i always remind myself after, no matter how low i feel or how moody i am, The fact is I am not alone. It is true... and when u feel u are alone, u are not indeed..... we have people whom love us sincerely.
I have my husband who always support me, no matter how busy he is, how tired he is after work, or how moody i am, i always know he is my loneliness' cure. Sometimes i dont want to let him know how sad i am, but i realized i was wrong, by letting him know, i feel better, cos i need his attention to pull me out from my "ownworld".. he knows that all i need is someone to simply sit beside me, hug me, and he doesnt have to say anything, because he is the only one i need...
or eventhough u are out of the town, u are overseas and u miss ur family and ur hometown, yes it is, we feel really alone...physiccaly, we are apart, but blood and love bond us with our parents. I always call my mum when i feel home sick or moody, i just need to heard her voice and i will feel better.... u dont have to let ur mum or ur dad knows how sad u are or how alone u are, cos they know it, they can feel it... thats the power of Mum and dad. Maybe some of us do not know about it, But do u know ur parents miss u more than we miss them, since we are part of their blood and soul.....
and also, nobody can replace ur best friend place,,, trust me, u feel much better knowing they care about u,,, They maybe not as close as our lover or parents or family, However, they save our life lots of time.
when u feel alone overseas, friends are forever, they fill ur life, they make the day brighter, and they help u for no reason...
Lonely and Moody are my friend,, they come often in my days, Nevertheless i have the real life here.. i always say to myself, its ok to let myself being weirdo for days, but i have to always remember, life is too way short for being a loner, cos we are not alone,,,

I love my Job
Gimme some story about work, work, and work,,,,
i believe u will give me more than i want to know...
i am myself (i have to admit) a very workaholic person.. I rather to finish all the things which has to be done, even i have to stay back and unpaid... yeah thats me,,, and i am pretty sure one of u, is exactly same with me,,,
but what about workplace it self... ur boss? ur workmates? ur salary? ur job? and ur environment?? do u like it? do u like ur job? or u just have to work for money.
ok, before we think about all of that, im gonna share a bit of mine,,,
at the moment, i work in restaurant (yeah, still)... i work everything i can, not being greedy, but i have to, since i have been working for long period, therefore it forces me to do it...but I enjoy it. I like my job. i prefer to work with a good environment though my salary is not much, rather than getting more money, but the workplace is depressing.
I know in my culture, parents hope their children to get office job,or being professional such as doctor , architect, etc and say BIG NO to HOspitality and Tourism.. They think office job is cool and hospitality job is low level, which is partly true in my country. Most people think we dont have to get high education to do hospitality, and since they spent much on our education we better shut our fuck up and do what they want us to do. am i right? or am i being too harsh?? lol...uups, im sorry, i didnt mean too, but this is what i called common point of view of my country men,,,,
I have to say My Dad was one of them. He expected me and my siblings to work "properly". and when i finished my "MAster" degree, that burden is high even more. i know my Dad paid so much for my education, and all i still do just what? working in restaurant? i know my Dad must be so upset if i say i still want to work in restaurant..i surely know he expects me to do accounting, or at least an office job. so the question is : do i???
I almost do.. I found an office job,it was part time job, a small office job i must say, doing like customer service and admin job, and i was accepted.. I just need to move my ass and come to work on the day i should come on.... However, I Rejected, I was kinda like not coming on that day. i know it sounds so crazy and stupid...i dont know as well, I am very stupid and crazy.... The fact is, looking for office job is very hard in Sydney, cos we are overseas student, english is average and no experience. I am not saying i am good or i feel cocky cos i just refused a job, NO, its not that. It just because i am still looking for my dream job that i want to do,,,, a job relates to service, hospitality and also communication. eventually i found it.
That interview just happened a day before the day i supposed to come to work in office. I knew i got a job, and i shouldnt come for any interview, yet i did.. it was a woman voice called me for interview, and she sounds so honest and kind. i decided yes i would come, and i came...
This job is similar like i do at the moment, hospitality. A cafe or catering job i guess. The thing is, as i step on the building (the cafe is inside the big building), somehow i feel so good. and when i met her (the manager), she reminds me of my previous boss in Indo when i was teaching. the whole things about the job, the place and herself, for some reason, i just feel it right. I know i cant say or i cant decide whether the job is the right job for me or not, but i am very " feeling" person. I follow my feeling and at the end i take this job. I havent started yet, so i cant tell u what exactly will happen... But the job itself is interesting, its like i will be the one who in charge for function catering for every meeting, and if there is no function i help in the cafe. I work in service area, in cafe, i can use my communication skill and also my management skill ( my customer will be TOP person) and The good things are (NOTED FOR MY DAD), i dont have to sweep the floor, wash dishes, or clean the cafe... which is Good.. at least i feel one step higher than what i do at the moment. My Mum support what i have done, she knows what exactly make me happy. and that is very important..
I just know, I am very loyal person, i am willing to workhard as long as i like the job and i always follow my feeling. and i do it...any kind of job is not important, the thing is i am HAPPY and i LOVE my JOB... all job that i ha before, i always love it. i love when i was working in pre school the most. that was my first best job...
In spite of my story, do you know there are so many good and bad stories in workplace??
we can always see some people work really hard, some are lazy. some are so loyal and reliable, and some are just so dodgy. though i am pretty young, but i experience not little... i saw heaps of people tried to butter the boss up and down, or even talk bad bout their workmates behind and pretend to be nice in front of them... i saw people argue each other and being stubborn.. being so arrogant, feeling so seniority and act not proffesional at work. some people are bludging too much.. and some managers are shit... are these people exist in your work life??
Hey, i am not judging okay.. everyone has their own bad habit, me either... i am so clean freak and clumsy and i think my workmates think im crazy. i think it is okay since everyone had mistakes,,,, we dont have to be ashamed as long as we know and we try to be better,,,
then again, sometimes i just think, why people so bother to spot other's mistakes and weakness?? why??? dont they think we all do the same, i mean we all have weaknesses and mistakes...
Again, For your information, I am not Hypocrite... I sometimes talk gossip and talk bad about people, and i admit, sometimes i am stubborn, i dont like being complaint in public... see... i admit my weakness (which i believe whoever has been working with me, they will b agree), its not a big deal.. i did mistakes, but the thing is I STILL LOve my job. I love my workmates... even sometimes i talk gossip, for GOd sake it was not completely bad one... i am type of person who will not being straightforward at work, but i always be fair. I will tell that person and of course i think i still hv the right to gossip...lol..
sometimes it just funny when people try to kick down someone by telling to everyone their mistakes... i mean cmon, we all do mistake... dont sweat such a shit thing... if people kept doing it all the time, this whole work team work bullshit thing will never ever work out... cant people just shout the mouth for a second... or if u dont like them or u know they make mistakes, STRAIGHT AWAY tell them their problems,, easy??? yes it is if u can put it in a right sentence..
and also sometimes there are some people like to order their juniors to do this and that. I mean, yes sometimes it is good when u show your leadership by doing it as well.. am i right...
which do u prefer? your manager working hard, leading u by good example or the one who always give u an order while they just sit down doing nothing but bludging.....
i can say, proudly i guess, my husband is one of good leader example, he is a type of leader who works very hard, barely order people, and get respects from all of us. It is simple, we all can do, u, me, and everyone. just work hard, show ur potentials, and people will respect u by what u do, not what u say.... plus, its not easy to find a good boss...
there are so many problems at workplace, but i want to make a conclusion...
I dont know what is yours, but mine is,,
i always love my jobs (previous and recent job) because me and my workmates are getting really well. our manager are the best, we help each other, and the most important thing is we all love our job, and we happy, therefore we create a good environment. yes we still do mistake and tease each other, but that doesnt matter, as long as we always working hard, be humble, love what u do right now and working as a team... I think that is everyone's dream job...
so, do u find your job? the job that u want to do? have u done anything for your work??? lets keep fighting and LOve your job...
i believe u will give me more than i want to know...
i am myself (i have to admit) a very workaholic person.. I rather to finish all the things which has to be done, even i have to stay back and unpaid... yeah thats me,,, and i am pretty sure one of u, is exactly same with me,,,
