Casual Friday

This is my first blog ever. Why am i typing this blog? It just seem like a logical thing to do on this beautiful casual Friday morning at work where there’s nothing to do til my meeting at a time i don’t even know! Also, since evryone’s having a blog, i thought i’d better keep myself in the same league. Anyway, with the workload i’m getting and seeing more to come, typing this blog now seems to be a good idea since i doubt i’ll have the time to do this from the week after next on. So, looking at things, this might be the first and the last blog from me though we can never tell the future. Can we? Casual Friday. What i’m wearing? A white long sleeve Miss Sixty top from the USA with a pair of faded blue Levi’s and a pair of black Reebok’s. Although, i wanted to wear my new white Umbro England Football Team jersey (all the way from the UK. thanks Fairuz for the present!!).

What’s on my thoughts? How to organize a couple of brands activation for next year, how to imposed my treasurer authority on my fellow annual dinner committee members to work within the budget, how to juggle my time with another 2 projects coming the week after next and especially how to manage my emotional and mental health through all this. It’s tough being a manager. You not only need to manage yourself (like being a student), you have to manage the organization and the people working in the organization (be they your subordinates or fellow managers and even the people above you!) to build the business, to generate profit, to rule the market!

Stress is a word that’s taboo in the working world because that will mean you can’t handle and manage things and when that’s the case, in the working world, off you go! I’m basically just wasting my time away typing, waiting to be told what to do at the moment though i should at least try to get some ideas for my projects now. But i’m not ready to go yet. sigh… i’m such a boring person! but hey, i didn’t ask you to read this! well, being the nice girl i am, i advice you to stop reading now because continuing your read will put you to sleep. of couse, please continue if that’s what you want to achieve.

It’s great working here. I can’t wait to be confirmed and apply for expat work. I really want to travel the world,  see what this world’s made of. Are the wonderful stories of the world that i’ve been told just a fable?  Wonder what kind of people the world’s made of. i’m sure there are lots of wonderful people in the world to make this world so wonderful. However, when it comes to good and right, there always must be a bad and wrong. Good thing that there’s more good and right to fight the bad and wrong. Having just come out from THE experience in my world, i can vouch that there’s more good than bad but there’s no more right than wrong. But i suppose if one is blinded by what one believe is true, it’s hard to make one see what the right and wrong are in one’s ways which leads to regrets in others who is forced to move on as no ammends can be done. When people say "move on" to someone, what do they actually mean? when they say "be strong", how do they expect the person to be? In a situation of a divorce or separation, demise or illness, bankruptcy or joblessness, losing a child in an accident or miscarriage, how does a person "move on" and "be strong"? how does the people involved in the situation "move on" and "be strong"? From a lowly human perspective, i see no point in being strong when there’s nothing to move on to when you have pain and regrets weighing you down. And because pain and regrets inter-relates, how can you take away the pain when you can never take away the regrets? in that way, how can you ever "be strong" and "move on"? Right here, right now, i can’t see how anyone can move on from their regrets. to me, they must not have regretted what they did really, to be able to "move on".

Then again,  life in regrets is very ideal for optimum work as one can "be strong" and "move on" in the needs of things to do for OTHERS. Never again can life be the same with regrets in one’s life because then, one has no life anymore as the one’s life is taken to people around them instead. In short, life in regrets equal to the living dead.

There, I managed to waste my whole hour spilling thoughts based on the latest happenings and events in the world of regrets. When there comes a time like this that i’m available yet again to type another blog, i shall venture on to the topic of "be strong" and "moving on". I know you just had a horrid read.. that was the idea.

    For a 1st entry…i’d say “Wow, tatz lenghty!” =p
    Girl, i beg to defer…’moving on’ is part & parcel of growing up. If one refuses to move on, instead sticks firmly to the ground with PAST events, well…they are just cutting themselves off from experiencing fully the beauty the WoRLD & LiFe has to offer…true, easier said than done.
    But when ppl say, “Move On” they dont mean “do it right now”…”Be Strong” yup…definitely…and having support & care ‘n Love settles half the trouble of being strong =)
    TIME…time is THE ANSWER to everything…something that seems devastating today…might turn up to be some form of blessing in disguise sometime in the future…though it’d be damn difficult to believe in that at that point of time - FAITH…*nod nod* have faith that all is for good…and someday, sometime…it will become evident.
    Life is all about Growth…
