peacock person

attended a "Handling Difficult People" session yesterday... either my bosses think i have quite a few demons to handle @ work, or that i myself am difficult *ponder*

anyway, the whole gist of the course is actually abt the different personalities of ppl, and the different ways of communicating with the various personality traits, just so that we can be more effiective relationships.

The Briggs-Myers personality traits are simple broken down to 4 types of birds: Hawk, Peacock, Owl & Dove. I fall, weirdly, under the Peacock - Dove characteristic.

I possess peacock-like traits of being loud and getting things going though @ the same time, i can be a listener and attentive. I can get my ideas across, and speak in meetings, but only when addressed. I am a risk taker and creative, loving loud colours and the first to embark on new projects, but ironically enough, i do not have to be leader all the time. Bearing slight hawk-like character of liking structure and rules (i love some form of guidelines!), i can also be rebellious. oh gosh! i have multiple personalities!!

you shld google these and see how and what to do/say when you have friends and families of a different trait. I am sure it will help us enhance our personal & work relationships. Good luck!

*below is a an excellent clip of the 2 greats in music - Bryan Adams and the late- Pavarotti. Harmonious in music, despite being 2 clear opposites. We all gotta be in sync! Enjoy!

all things wonderful

Simple things make me happy - having good friends arnd (Bless them!) and DONUTS!

my girl frens (or just 2 of them) @ The Arena @ Clarke Quay! So much fun!

Donuts from Missy Donut @ Plaza Singapura - this time, i had one pc, instead of the usual dozen! *grinz*

broken

i am born under the Aries sign - and Arians are known to be fiery, and a leader... passionate but rebellious... caring but realistic.

tonite i'm broken.

i failed to listen to the "No" uttered, and carried on with my plans with my friends. that wasn't quite being disrespectful. I was simply stubborn. I thought, disrespectful will be apt to use if i argue and scream @ the person, on top of not listening. But i did inform abt my plans, and i did invite. maybe it was wrong timing as well as it wasn't the best of nights for had to attend to a family member... but i think i was just being stubborn (and maybe just slightly selfish).

i think as a partner, i have, despite my flaws, been there to support - both emotional and financial. I was there when no one cared and been the biggest fan. but tonight i was deemed as being worse than 'stupid', being called "nothing but trouble" and having "done nothing good". i was broken. and insulted.

i m sorry abt tonight. i truly am. but it is truly not often that I was adamant on my decision to be out with my friends. I had fun. yes. i admit it. but i deserve it, despite whatever was said. Most times i often let my friends down because my priority is to the other. Ask me why i don't talk to those ppl anymore, and i just say "just bcos i don wan to". Actually, i stay away and cut down on the no of frens so that i have more time for you. but well...

lately i have been very forgetful. it is evident. i can forget where my mobile is barely seconds after using it. and superbly tired. i was very tired last night. i slept. and i was said to be "talking to someone else". why is it that i cannot be tired/busy/sleepy but others can? or am i the gullible one who believes easily?

i think it's just me. no matter how much i give in to my relationships, i am often the one who will be left. i am the one who will be broken. 1 partner got taken away by some bimbo, the other i thought is great was actually attached, or i just am not perfect enough.

maybe cos of my not-so-present-butt... or that i am fat now. oh well... just me.. very flawed.

but at least i did not spew vulgarities. i wasn't rude. and i m proud of myself.

i am meant to be alone. and i will cope with that.

@ 26, i just want to be helpless and depend on someone financially and emotionally... but i guess i have to remain the way i am... rely on myself and be optimistic and provide for myself. i guess its status quo.

watever it is, it has happened. but at least i did have fun earlier. cathartic. and i needed it.

precious antiques

Had a mini reunion with my gal pals from school... amazing to see how far we have gone, and achieved and how our lives have turned for the better

lin's son is now 18months old, Eunice's is about 2 weeks (Ian's so cute!) and the rest of us are single and loving it...

Its really great being together with friends who are truly sincere - no agendas, no bad feelings, no ill intentions. Simply friendship. And that is priceless and truly worth it.

the best antiques are old friends - Friends who have stood the test of time, Friends who will be there regardless...

i love my friends. God Bless them.

post punk nite

celebrated the toil and dedication of the 300+ strong teachers @ the annual D&D on Teacher's Day, last Saturday. a tremendous turnout we had... and the teachers really too time to dress up. Well, it isn't everyday that they get to be all glammed up and away from their usual teaching clothes (which often gets soiled by midday!) The red-black affair was a huge success and i am sure they had a lot of fun! one grouse i have is i wished i had won something! the $400 Lee Hwa voucher was what i had my eyes on!

As for me, i did not really go into the elegant, glam mode... the late nights in office the past week prior to the evening had left me with panda eyes! and so, i have to make do with the not-so-perfect face and decided on a punk look for the night! eyes lined with kohl and double dosage of mascara, smokey-eyes (or @ least i tried!). The outfit was simple but me being me, i cannot just grab something already in the wardrobe. My black tee was the cheapest @ $15.90 (Pull and Bear), Lee jeans @ $39 (Tangs, thank God for the sale!), shoes @ $29 and my cool studded belt @ $129 (Ted Baker)!

on another separate but happy note, dearest Eunice has given birth to her angel! me and the gals will visit her this week! CONGRATS!
