Everyday is a learning journey. Everyday, you learn something about yourselves.
Yesterday, i learn that i need to be in control. If i want to do something, or if you want me to do something for you, you must let give me the freedom to do it MY WAY.
Thats me. Take it or leave it.
Yesterday was no work, a Company potluck turned into a Company Christmas Party. Last minute decoration of office, last minute preparation of drinks, last minute announcement that there will be games. OMG. I hate last-minutes.
It was my first attempt at making rather NICE sandwiches for others. Good. I shall do it other times when i have parties (with the exceptions of this Sun because it is NOT a party). Quite fun, the way i did it. Like high-tea style. ;)
We played some games that my boss "imported" from the states, quite fun actually, i can actually drew some ideas from her for my future parties. She must have done it countless times to be so good at this. Last minute she also can pull something out.
But anyway, i also learned that i DO NOT LIKE LARGE GROUP GATHERINGS unless we are VERY CLOSE people. I got SO BORED that i have to "siam" a few times to get a breather. That's because if you are not playing games, you are just chatting, and i don't like chatting, but if i don't do it, i look anti-social. So i have to "act busy" and "siam" while i can and come back and "entertain" people once in a while. I HATE COMPANY FUNCTIONS.
Don't worry Guoxiong, Sun i won't be like that, because i am co-organising with you, so i will feel in-control and in-need to get things done. ;) Further, the bunch should be people i am quite comfortable with.
Anyway, to side-track a bit, my colleague/friends finally made the decision to DO IT... as in resign... So i stayed back to talk to her about it. I hope i did helped her a little. Anyway, that explains why i was home so late last night and also explains why when i wake up this morning, i had to ask myself "Do i need to work today?"
Another side-track, i have got my bonus! Woohoo! 2.2months ya! But pro-rated... Nevertheless, its still money. Anyway, my happiness was shortlived... After i sort out how i could have utilized my monies... I realised that i may not even have enough to buy new year clothes =(
No new clothes for the year, poor boy. =(
