It’s the Thought that Counts~

Every time I was on my holiday or get a chance to travel to somewhere new, I never fails to bring back souvenirs for my families and friends.

I always buy something for my family, even though we can get it back home.  Perhaps I learn it from my mother. She always brings back a lot of stuffs for us when she travels and it makes us feel happy. It makes me feel happy to buy some gift for them too, to see them happy to receive it.Nevertheless, I also buy souvenirs for my friends.

There are many people to buy for; my hometown/childhood friends, my housemates, some of my ex-coursemates and my current colleagues and even some of the ex-colleagues. So, they are many people that I have to buy for but I am doing this willingly as I want them to be remembered when I am away and most importantly, I want to make them happy.

Most of the time, I try to buy some food stuffs and snacks for them to try to. So, overall, I would have spent quite much on souvenirs and gifts and not to mention, carry all of them back!Finding a souvenir is not easy, as sometimes you do not know what they like or sometimes it is just too expensive to be afforded.

Sometimes I just get something simple, like a nice keychain or a magnet for friends. Or something more special for closer friends, like perfume or T-shirts or even a crystal bracelet.But it is disappointing when the respond that I got was “That’s all only arr?” when I give them the souvenirs.

One can at least say thank you for the souvenirs that has been given instead of such sneer and unappreciative remark.Just keep in mind that it is not their obligation to get you something while they are on away, and they probably have spent much more than they should.

After all, it’s the thought that counts.

Making Friend with Loneliness..

I couldn’t shake off the loneliness that crept in
Sneaking in like an experienced thief
I couldn’t figure the way to handle it
So I might as well as make friend with it.

The loneliness is a good friend to be
Accompanying you like a silly queen
It listens to you as you wept and sleep
Till the morning by your side faithfully.

Anything~

Saying ‘anything’ doesn’t make you flexible.

It just show that you are indecisive or lazy to make a decision.

It just show that you are uninterested.

It just show that you are not bothered.

Say something. Make a decision.

It helps!

Is he dead?

I saw something disturbing on the way to work this morning. There’s this mother doggie and her little puppy near my outside house recently. The mother doggie is a slim, black dog with little white patches around her neck. The little roly-poly, cute little puppy is brownish in colour, quite small and a little chubby, which makes it looks perfectly adorable!

I was so tempted to pet the puppy every time I passed by but I know better as the mother doggie could be very fierce and protective towards its only little pup. So I could only look from afar… not so far, just a few steps away. The little puppy looked healthy and happy!

But yesterday night, when I passed by again, I noticed the little puppy was lying motionless on the grass and the mother doggie was sniffing the pup’s head and neck. So I assumed it was sleeping, though it was a little too early and my heart was telling me otherwise.

This morning, I saw the mother was guarding nearby while the little puppy was still lying motionless on exact position! :( I think it is not sleeping for 12 hours.. I didn’t dare to take a closer look but I looked at the little chest which was rather still. :(

Is the little puppy dead?

There was no blood or sign of injury on the pup. :(

I just felt sad and the mother doggie must have felt even worse as it is the only pup she has.

Sulking at Work..

The other day I felt that I was behaving like a kid in the office. I was practically sulking over a matter that I wasn’t happy about. Well, though it was in the office, it wasn’t really about work or else I would behave more professionally.Actually it was something that we volunteer to do but I wasn’t happy to be assigned of something that I was not being consulted or discussed with. And I voiced up to a few persons but didn’t have the chance to bring up to the person in charge. But she found out later on but did nothing.

So when we have to do it, I insisted of not doing what I was assigned (and wouldn’t budge) of and the person-in-charge has to exchange with me at the last minute. And after that, she came to me and told me that they would arrange it again as there were other factors which made her arrangement couldn’t work.Sometimes, I felt that it was difficult for me to voice up what I really felt or unhappy about especially to higher authority or someone that I am unfamiliar with. So I ended up being sulky and unhappy like a spoil kid, but in fact, I am hardly one! Really!

I need to learn more of communication and have higher EQ as I when I am angry or upset or sad, I tend to break down… :(

A Cheater In da House..

A cheater cheated on me today. Or at least he handled it indignantly which explained why I wouldn’t help in to take in his clothes if it rains. He promised me that he would accompany me to watch The Golden Compass on Sunday with Y. But he made a different plan to watch it on Saturday, WITHOUT TELLING ME in a proper manner (which means I heard it in his conversation without trying, call it eavesdropping if you want). He knew darn well that I couldn’t watch it on Saturday but he sacrificed me for another fella, which he later on used as a defence. Not once, but many times. Coward.
And he has the nerves to ask me to keep an eye on his clothes while he is away, if it rains.
I am upset but not stupid.
Helping him is not getting even.
