13-18 February: Second week!! ASAA ASAA Fighting~~~

Hahhah peekaboo!! Let's look into the highlights of this week.
 Aside already getting used to the swing of work in ASAA, 16 February 2017 became the very first day I took leave under the grace of Reverend's permission (without Mary Vun's presence).

There are couple things which I am so grateful about:

  • Just like any other day, when I used to have so much time in my hand, I went out on a date with my father to the car workshop, breakfast and free movie time. Last year, we had movie courtesy of MBO, but, my dad got to experience entering cinema in GSC. (I still have MBO birthday movie.)
  • I visited mom again and dad was kind to go there with me. He was also very compassionate about the children who stays in the grave. So, the grave was cleaned with a small fee paid to the children who cleared the weeds and grass. Writing my message to my mom the night earlier, had helped my visit turned brief and meaningful. The orchids were in season and I cut the greatly boomed one for her.
  • I bought myself a Starbuck coffee and returned home to make cotton cheesecake. It didn't turn out good as expected, and so I asked my brother to buy cake at the last minute. I was blessed with assorted slices of cakes from Lady Bon Bon as my birthday gift. I know they are not cheap at all and I always like cake from this shop.



Next year, 

What I actually plan to do with my birthday? It happens to fall on the first day of CNY. Should I announce to everyone that is my birthday? Or should I order a cake and celebrate with all relatives with everyone in the photo? Oh~~~ I don't if I could do that. 

I am thinking about the Chevening scholarship opportunity and how I had past the first stage of online application. The interview is coming up in about a month's time. If I really get this scholarship, I would be leaving in July. I am not hoping a lot of it because I know they are many people out there who are more qualified than me. What's more? I only wished for it over my birthday. This time it is really my desire to go to UK.

If I am away for a year, maybe celebrating CNY here won't be happening next year as I am unlikely to come back in the same year due to distance and money. I would take the opportunity to travel in UK since I am sure the holiday season is shorter over there as the Master degree is just a one year program.

Well, I have Saturday to fight and Sunday to plan for a new week again. I skipped CG because it is not official and so good to be getting this queit time to myself (Aaron and Daddy out)...feeling the after effect of the rain poured couple hours ago.

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...
