hmmmm...

two students came into our office.
wanting to register for the workshop.
I was attending one of the two.
So, while i was issuing receipt...
the students stared at me.
One asked my colleague
"What's her name?"
"Shan Na, she's Ms. Shan Na."
"oooo... hi~ "
"So, you're... malay? indian? chinese?"
"I m chinese."
"Really???? You look like a mixture of malay, indian and chinese!!"
*the conversation went heaty*
"............................................. errrrrrr... chinese."
"But your features... and your name... seriously you don't!"
"........... errrrrr... so, i'll see you in the workshop? Hehe"
"OK! Nice to meet you!"
-the end-
GREAT.
This kinda confusion, really triggered too much of curiousity. =X And now, it's even more canggih! It's a mixture of malay, indian and chinese. WOoohooOOoo! I thought i was always being mistaken as a malay? :)

Motto

The topic "Motto" was highlighted during our leisure talk over the dinner tonight. So, what's your motto in life?

"... errr... I don't drive a motor, I drive a car..."
"..... ??!!" - leaves swept by a strong cold wind.

Ok. Back to the topic.

So, what's your motto in life?
A motto, is a thought and a belief that upholds your life, with values and lessons. It enlightens you when you're standing on the positive ground. It holds you back when you're at the cliff of giving up. Hmmm. Come to think of that, it's very true. Don't you think so? =)
I have my motto. Yes, I do.
It somehow lifts me up when I am down.
It also boosts me up when I am in the process of growing it.
Thus, we all should have motto in life.
In order for us to lead a better life. =)
Let's walk towards our missions.

=)

Say i am nuts.
But i am actually enjoying these moments.
Stressful yet looking forward.
Congested with unpredicted workload.

Camp!
HERE WE COME! =)

Out of the sudden, i am so semangat. The conversation that we had somehow boosted a lil fun and confidence in us.

=/

Have been posting myself with the same query.
"Why is my communication skill deteriorating?"

Seriously. I do not really like argument.
Some people think that, argument is good. You get to express and blurt out your feeling from the inside out, without thinking whether it's good to let it out or not.To me, argument is always the last resort. Or should i say, it never came about into my list of solving issues. *maybe that's the reason why I never solved it.* I do not like the struggling moment that running in my mind, to think of excuse, to think of the sentence of argument, to think of how good i am and how terrible you are to me. Because, it always hurt people and myself, to think sucha way. It spoils the relationship that you've built over the years. It generates the gaps in between both parties. Argument hurts.

I am a __________ friend.

I can't even fill that myself.

u p d a t e s

Never thought the numbers of client are actually increasing drastically this semester. A client, could just walk in with a smile and the next second, sob in front of the counsellor at the next second. Maybe this is what we call suppression. Often people suppress feeling. We may just forgo the feeling and move on as though nothing happened before. When the emotional healer touches your heart, you may just burst all the things out with a snap of fingers. That's what i knew about the unfinished business. Yes. We all have unfinished business. Those unfinished business, are the one that we unconcisouly deny for a long period of time and those which we try to run away from. Ever since I been into the training of unfinished business, I realised, EACH of us, will surely have something behind us. Something hidden. Looks so far, yet so near to our heart.
Work has been challenging. A call of Sick Bay will tie us up for the whole morning. I cannot imagine myself working in an ER. No. Pls let me die if i were to do so. University had set up a Sick Bay which caters students with a place of recovery when they're sick. So happened that our unit is the coordinator. Students have been in and out of the Sick Bay ever since its establishment. Some even seek for counselling attention due to some psychological or external factors which cause them fell sick. Although it's real busy, but I had a great feeling that we're actually helping a student, by understanding not just from the physical, but also the other side of the story. =)
Sometimes, I feel, each of us, has different story to tell. We may look beautiful and perfectly normal outside, but inside, it may be contradictory. I just hope that everyone has a beautiful and healthy heart inside out. =) The world is beautiful, we should all cherish our life. ^^

Starting from this week, work had lined up for me throughout the weeks before CNY. Working consecutively for the next two weekends, with camp and workshop down the road. Good to know that my team is very much sticking onto each other, to encourage and support in one way or another. =)) I really learn a lot from them, especially the spirit of NEVER GIVE UP! :) Through thick and thin, we're pretty much surviving! ^^ Thank you for guiding me, to the path that I want to be invovled with.

Trust vs Distrust

A friend of mine was talking about trust and distrust.
The trust is broken when the promise is voided.
Often we just see one side of the world.
We hardly see the whole of it.
Often, we just listen one-sided story.
We rarely got the chance to hear from the other side.

How do we fulfil the promise, when there's only one of you, trying so hard, yet people are not appreciating? How do we keep the promise when a person keeps on trying and trying to explain things which are changed rapidly? External factor counts. Please understand?
It's never easy. NEVER easy.
I felt the pain. Really I am.
I never felt so strong, after so long.
Fingers crossed.

Sometimes, people may just see everything seems a piece of cake. Never introspect the story behind each effort of trial. Why should they care? It's never their business. The bumpy steps that are undergoing each life. The sweat and tears. The non-living things maybe can be taken granted of, but not human. Never ever take people for granted. Please appreciate what it's done by people around you.

It's hard sometimes, but it will be easier, when people around you, are sailing together with you. =) You are not alone. Never alone.

First Cake

I always love sharing things with people. More so, I love sharing the same birthday with my own dad. =)) It's good to let him hold my hand and cut the cake together. I feel small when he's with me. Really. And I know he's very happy to have me cutting the cake with him too. ^^
This year was a bit special for the 4 of us in the family. We had a lil eye mask during our cutting cake party. Thanks to my sister. -.- Haha! I will never forget the wonderful stupid moment I had with my family. Had a great dinner and cut cake at home.
Never really made my wish properly this time. My wishlist is always the same. It's repeating every year. I hope God hears me. I am thankful to have family to be by my side always, for all these 24 years. I know it's hard to keep me "in order". Haha! =) Love you all always. *muaks* I was very touched by my sis's card. Her message moved me.
During my return last week, I received a few presents from friends too. Thanks a lot to Soofei and SzeErn. Appreciate it. You girls never failed to remember my birthday. Thanks for your friendship and your sincerity. Love all the presents a lot. Thanks Soofei for your note. I was really overwhelmed, almost shed a tear. =) Thank you.
My first cake of the year! Wish to share it with everybody I know. I am blessed by your presence. =)

So sweet when I looked at it.
Wedding Choco! ^^ seeee... i quite like this!

Whenever our friends go out, we didn't get a chance to step into bookstore coz we took ages to be inside there in the sea of books...
that day there were only me and ruixue, that's why we had chance to do so.
Haha!
Thanks for the day! ^^
