(no subject)
A week passed at work, rather swiftly. Nothing from the HR yet and I was sent to attend a course on Negotiation Skills, which I can conveniently put to use when the employment contract is ready for discussion.
But I realised attending courses with professors is quite an experience. Generally, in Singapore context, we have participants who are more reticent and not as responsive, but it was not the case in this course. Almost every one of them have something to say, even when they have no question, they will raise a point, make their stance or throw out something for discussion. Yours truly remained a true blue Singapore educated citizen, guai guai sit at one corner, a relaxed observer. I was thinking, how easy life is for the speaker(whom the school spent a bomb flying him in from US just for the 30 over staff), coz he basically need not think/talk a lot, the participants are thinking with much complexity and almost fighting to speak up, most of the times, unnecessary. As for me, my greatest wish every day at the 3 day course was, to take breaks and end the day ON TIME. Opps.
My sis, Haze, said on facebook she kind of not used to not seeing me around. Ya, me too. I have been a Wander-woman for so long, the good feeling of being the most free person, pretence tai-tai-hood, was over. The regulated life I am leading now is a bit stifling, and I am struggling to balance my social and love life, get enough sleep and exercise to keep healthy. I dunno, but I am already faced with having to sacrifice something that meant alot to me, tho' it is a rather small matter to many. =( I guess you can't have everything you want in life, just be contented with what you have.
