Bangladesh favor!

Hmm...a peculiar thing happen this morning. Right after my tutoring in the morning, I decided to change my usual hangout place from Expresso Lab to Teh Tarik Place.

Just as I walked in to the kopitiam place, someone bumped me from my left. When I turned my head, a Bangladesh was apologizing for his rudeness. After the incident, the course of my time there from 10.30 to 12 noon, I was delighted with his gestures of small talk and kindness.

I was not aware that he was trying to court me with gestures like serving me napkin when I had not even finish my thosai telur, flashing smiles every time our eyes connect, intervals of interuption out of curiosity in the work I do, and the final gesture was taking off my cham coffee order from the bill.

I left the place with a smile on my face because a Monday was filled with such favor. I knew his intention. I wonder why I was not feeling uncomfortable about it.

The only thing that I was not comfortable is myself because I am forever bound to the spell of baby face treatment syndrom.

Dissapointment by the turn of events.

How do I make a change of career path? This is the toughest question I have today. I have a Science background in degree, and 180 degree change to arts or humanities, can be seen surprising or less of the norms in the Asian society. If I am in America, changing major or a career path is not uncommon in the community of individuality and self-interest. I am bringing this topic to an intention because , if there is someone out there who are reading this, I like to get a sense check that I am not gambling my path simply. My reflection , after writing this entry, can be narrow minded. Having someone here, will be a great soundboard. Let me give you a little context as to what actually brings me to this junction or crossroad of life. After I have spent three glorious days working in TFM (current company where I work), the entry of new manager changes the structure around. Implementing performance scorecard and leadership framework, each staff was evaluatud for his or her strengths a...

You can choose to love on two ways.

This whole week, I was covered with a heavy emotion. An inner conflict of hatred, jealousy and loneliness. I struggled to come out from the shell of darkness and tears. It was so suffocating that the only place for me breather was being outside of the house. I pour out my heart to my yiyi. I think her role as a counselor helped me to process my inner feelings and thoughts. Thanks to her counselling I was able to answer my own question. Why did I bear with all this emotion? What made me do so when I could feel otherwise? I can choose to love in two ways. To love someone in hatred/expectation or to love someone as they are. I loved with an expectation of return. It was I who was being conditional of them whereas situation can be the other way round. I had love out of spite. But now knowing that, I felt peaceful about when I realized that I should love with acceptance. That made all the different. I love my family so much that I was scared to lose them so much so feelings of hatred,...

First knowledge buying IT product

This entry is about my trip to Digital Mall in favor of my brother to purchase a computer product. Lesson learnt 1. Go for the first person you see has a good eye contact and good feel that he or she would be the right person to talk to regarding product. 2. You have the right to change sales person for the bad service you received and decides on the person whom to receive commission. 3. When helping someone to buy a product, do go in which a list on the paper and pictures. 4. Confirm the product by asking questions which the buyer likes to know first. 5. Ask permission to take picture of the products to make sure that the product you are about or plan to buy is according to the preference of the buyer. Hm..today I had to put on a thick face to deal with the bad service from the manager of the store. Anyway, I will still go to Jayacom for IT products mainly the price offer is cheaper than any other place. I can disregard the bad service. Anything for you, my dear brother. Do...
