transition part 2

i think transition is still apt for this entry..hence, part 2

most of my peers have achieved a lot in life at this stage of life. i have always been outside, looking in, you know. having fun in observing people but i dunno how to respond/react most of the time. its time to break out of the mould. slowly and slowly. i realize another particular weakness of mine is giving shallow answers. to be honest, i don't mean to come across as a shallow person but that what comes to my mind. i toned down a lot compared to the old days. somebody seriously need to teach me some socializing 101 or code of conduct to deal with strangers. but then again, its not something that can be learn from textbook but it is rather a long journey of dealing with people. i shall bear in mind that i must give better and more solid answers in future. i must! family is definitely my biggest critics. lol

the beauty of meeting different people is the dynamics and the vibe u got from them. it is just contagious. those people that i know since we were kids have grown up becoming more refined and i, am still like this. gahh...daunting indeed. there must be a reason why our path crossed again after all these years, isn't it?

transition to adulthood

#1

in my family eyes, i am forever the baby in the family. now, i feel..old when my peers getting engaged, married and giving birth and started working and dealing with uncomfortable situations/problems in matured way. i am happy with the way i am now and my life progress so far. everything happens for a reason. i am happy that i have been given ample time to improve myself and still improving before becoming an employee or whatever huge event will happen in my life one day. shall cherish every time that passes by as it will never be the same after this. gone were the days of being carefree (less, to be exact). gone were the days buying ridiculous stuffs such as collecting the whole series of pokemon sticker :P. taste is getting more refined. the end *in niece's voice* better refrain now or otherwise it will become more shallow :P

#2

one keyword : professional. po..po..po..poker face, po po poker face. i hate it when i wear my heart on my sleeves which makes me vulnerable to other people. sigh. but hey, at least i am professional enough to put my personal views aside and embrace the situation. i bet more to go in future. hahaha. be cool, yo! networking is getting more crucial at this stage of life.....

#3

anyway, not all things are perfect. my new resolution for this year is less cursing. hahaha. yeah, you heard me. so far, my progress is good. i manage to hold my tongue most of the time unless if i am super pissed. well, you know what people say on hell hath no fury like a women scorned :P i ran into a small problem with a famous aviation company which-shall-not-be-named and Alhamdulillah, it is already settled. thanks to the bank staffs (maybe thats why its easier to get through them cos people barely complains). i learn that not everyone/everything is perfect and its up to you whether you are able to tolerate them/it after its over. after being at peace with everything, i begin to appreciate small, tiny, little things in life :)
