Resolutions for 2015



One of the things that I hope I'll start doing is keeping fit, especially because my energy gets sapped a lot and my health has suffered a great deal this year, due to my work environment and the people at work.

Dare to Dream

Today is the last day of 2014...So many things have happened this year...I'm thankful that my sanity and integrity have remained intact despite all the bad things that have happened to me at work this year. I'm thankful that I've not lost my sense of humour despite all the bad things that have happened. I'm thankful that I've a resilient and unbreakable spirit, which I think is so essential in a world that is full of uncertainties. I'm thankful that I've long recognised the importance of not initiating sins against other people, and I'm thankful that I try not to do so (not because I'm so righteous but because I believe in retribution). Last but not least, I'm thankful that there are people that I can count on to pray for me.

 

Sometimes I wonder if it's worth making so many sacrifices...at work...for people...Is it wise? Or is it foolish? Should I try to be more self-centred and more selfish? After all, as long as I'm  not deliberately hurting anyone or deliberately sinning against anyone, does it matter? 

Dare to Dream

Food for Thought

Today, I attended a work-related Christmas party. The invited speaker shared about the Ostrich Syndrome. He said that people who would rather hide from their problems - thinking that their problems would go away when they do so - are like ostriches. I think it's wise to confront our problems than to hide from our problems, because the same problems are likely to recur until we have learnt to confront them.

 



Dare to Dream

As this year is coming to an end soon, it's time to make resolutions for 2015. In 2015, I hope I'll make it a habit to openly appreciate people who are genuinely kind to me, people who don't initiate sins against me and people who don't gang up with others against me.

Today, I told three people that I appreciated them for being kind to me in one way or another. Why? It's because I've encountered too many evil people  - people who have plotted evil against me without me sinning against them and others who have ganged up with these people - at work this year.

《好想你》

我能够即兴创作一首歌曲（歌词加歌曲）。。。是一种天分 （不是自夸哦）。。。有时候心血来潮就即兴创作歌曲，但就是没把歌曲录起来。。。有时候是因为刚起来声音并不怎么好听。。。有时候是因为喉咙痛。。。当然还有其他原因。。。如果有某些地方让我驻唱 （哈哈哈哈。。。在幻想当中）。。。刚才起来的时候，就即兴唱了几句。。。开头大概是 [我好想你、我好想你，我是真的好想你]。。。 觉得蛮好听的 。。。：）（不是自大，也不是自夸哦。。。都说了，是一种天分啊。。。所以没有必要自夸）起来之前又梦见他了。。。相思之苦好难耐哦。。。：（

Healing Winds

You need to allow yourself to heal in order to move on in life...I believe that the first step to healing is to admit to yourself that you are hurting inside...You will keep yourself trapped if you continue to be in denial...Maybe the next song I will be writing will be a song of healing...Just thought of a title for the song: Healing Winds...

我的想法

顾虑太多并不是一件好事。。。毕竟我们无法知道我们人生的终点。。。就算知道，顾虑太多值得吗？有时候就是因为我们顾虑太多而错过很多机会、缘分、宝贵的时间、等等。。。人生毕竟有太多的未知数，所以应该尽量活在当下，少顾虑。。。这样才能够活得开心。。。不是吗？

刚刚看了一部台湾电视剧《幸福兑换券》。其中一位女主角在戏里的母亲就跟她说了一句话。。。她大概是说要知道一个男人值不值得你要，就要问你的眼泪和微笑。。。如果一个男人会让你一直哭泣，就算条件再好也不能要。。。如果一个男人会让你经常微笑，就算苦一点也是值得的。。。在我生命里，就刚好有这两种男人：一个是让我一想到他，眼眶就会有泪的男人；另外一个是让我一想到他，眼睛就会微笑的男人:D

My Thoughts

There are so many troublemakers at my workplace...sigh...:( They seem to enjoy being troublemakers and making life miserable for others. Without these troublemakers, my workplace would be such a peaceful place. :) And without these troublemakers, I'd not have to waste SO MUCH precious time protecting my files, etc, etc. If my big boss would remove existing troublemakers and stop employing troublemakers, I'm sure it'd boost overall productivity and morale at work.

最近在金钱上帮了一个人。。。一个以恶报恩的人。。。觉得帮得很不值得。。。I have zero tolerance for ingrates, especially those who repay my kindness with evil!!! 因为她，我有可能今年底不可以出国旅行了。。。:( 我并不是要她感激我。。。但是她就是不应该以恶报恩。。。那是做人最基本的原则。。。她又不是我的亲人, 也不是我的朋友, 所以我没有义务帮她。。。我最憎恨那些以恶报恩的人!!!

I just read a news article on xinmsn.com (http://xin.msn.com/en-sg/news/other/several-police-reports-lodged-against-mobile-air/ar-AA72kMb?ocid=HPCDHP) pertaining to the case I mentioned in my previous post. The owner of the shop in question faced an almost immediate 'judgment' (retribution). 所以，千万不要以为你不会有报应。。。只是迟早的问题。。。yes, your retribution (judgment) may be deferred...but it doesn't mean it won't come...也许你的孩子或家人会因为你所犯的错而得到你所应该得到的报应。。。所以，做人千万不要做违背良心的事。。。

I just read a piece of news on asiaone.com. (Check it out at http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/tourist-kneels-and-begs-tearfully-refund-sim-lim-square-shop.) How could the owner of the shop in question 'take advantage' of the Vietnamese tourist's apparent ignorance and lack of fluency in English???!!! It's unbelievable that no passers-by were willing to help him! I would have stepped forward to help him if I were there, even though I'm a woman. (Not kidding!) As a Singaporean, I wouldn't even want to shop at Sim Lim Square...

Dare to Dream

Amazed!



Recently, a total stranger gave me a green agate. It was as if she was expecting me at that particular moment. I just did a google search and found out that a green agate 'corresponds to someone who is compassionate, generous, has good fortune and a keen sense of justice'. I am amazed...because it describes me perfectly! I am not boasting, ok.

我大老板似乎很喜欢聘请有邪恶心肠的人，也似乎很喜欢聘请很会‘吃蛇’的人。他聘请了很多有邪恶心肠，同时又很会‘吃蛇’的人。:( :( 最近他聘请了一个新同事，才工作不到两、三个星期的时候，已经开始‘吃蛇’了， 而且‘吃’得很离谱！！ 这么会‘吃蛇’的人，人格肯定有问题， 也肯定是缺乏责任感！！！很多时候，这样的人都是小人！:( :(

So Disgusting!!!

I just saw a very old man putting his hand through his shorts and masturbated himself for at least 2 min! (I thought he was just scratching himself until I observed him more closely!) Goodness gracious!!! How could he do it in a public bus when there were other passengers around and when I was seated beside him!!! So disgusting!!! He should be publicly shamed!!! Another elderly man apparently saw what he did but chose to look away. Goodness!!!

 

Dare to Dream



好几个月前开始发现除了我的大老板所派的私家侦探之外，似乎还有其他人也派了私家侦探跟踪我。。。其中一个很过分。。。他似乎指示他所派的私家侦探要明目张胆出现在我面前！！ 这些男人真的太过分了，竟然一直侵犯我的隐私！！！ 害我要约家人或朋友出去，（很多时候）都不敢。。。毕竟有些话题只适合跟某些人讲。。。（而且我比较喜欢面对面讲。。。通过电话就是似乎少了什么的）虽然我很享受独处，也很重视独处，但是人毕竟不是‘孤屿’啊。。。如果派私家侦探跟踪我的人只是想多了解我，我勉强可以接受 （当然最好是不要啦！）。。。但是我无法接受我大老板派私家侦探跟踪我，因为他是站在我敌人那一边的！！！

There are times when I wish I am not as 'conscience-conscious' as I am, because not being overly 'conscience-conscious' may make it a lot easier for me to make a lot of decisions in life...尤其是关于选择男朋友、终生伴侣方面。。。sigh...

我的看法

一个人是否好、是否坏，并不是决定于别人怎么评论他，也并不是决定于大多数人怎么评论他。想知道一个人的好坏，就要靠智慧。

敢于梦想Dare to Dream

小人实在太可怕了！你不需要去招惹他们，他们也会‘主动’来招惹你、攻击你。。。他们甚至会不择手段去对付你。。。because their hearts are inclined towards evil。。。小人可能会给自己找借口，说什么‘他们只是在玩办公室政治，没什么大不了的。。。别人也在玩啊，不是吗？’之类的借口。。。其实如果他们敢面对真实的自己，他们就会（至少对自己）承认他们的心是邪恶的。。。也许他们会继续做缺德的事，以为不会有报应的。。。或许他们不相信报应这回事。。。但是不相信并不表示它不存在。。。也许报应会降临在他们家人身上。。。又或许报应会降临在他们后代身上。。。宁可信其有，不要宁可信其无。。。这才是明智的抉择。。。

敢于梦想Dare to Dream





表面上看起来，别人可能会觉得你很难搞、很难相处，但是一个有智慧的人、一个明眼人就会看得出其实是那些小人难搞、难相处。

I really can't stand the sight of the PIs who are sent to check on me in the middle of the night!!! Can you imagine having one man or two men looking up at you through a window in the middle of the night???!!! It can be very eerie, you know?! This is especially so during the Hungry Ghost month! During the recent Hungry Ghost month, the PIs were also sent to check on me in the middle of the night!!! Can you imagine the eerie feeling?! Aiyo!!!! I know I can avoid seeing them by having the window closed, but my brother has the habit of opening it (wide at times!). And since some months ago, I started having the tendency to sleep at about 10 plus at night and waking up in the middle of the night (是自然醒的。。。因为我只需要大约4个小时的睡眠时间。。。) to do my 'business'.  可怜的我!!! I live on the 2nd floor!!! Whoever that has sent the PIs to check on me in the middle of the night must be really sick!!! (But thankfully, I don't have to face the 'torture' every night.)

不知道从几时开始，发现自己已经喜欢上你了。。。不知道你是否感应得到？ 最近每当心情不好的时候、觉得很受委屈的时候，都会想到你。。。想紧紧的抱住你。。。觉得这样能够平复自己的情绪。。。不需要你听我诉苦，只需要你在我身边。。。知道你曾经喜欢我。。。不知道现在的你心里可有我？若有机会再遇到你，希望我有勇气跟你告白。。。

My Thoughts

In order for a person to work in a charity (regardless of the position), I believe that the top prerequisite is to have a good heart. Sadly and ironically, a lot of people at my workplace have hearts that are inclined towards evil (or are full of evil).

I can't stand people who are deceptive and who, at the same time, think that I lack the intelligence to recognise their deception!

Sometimes when it's too late to do damage control, it'll not help at all no matter how hard you try. 所以做人千万不要做得太过分，因为等你需要别人宽恕你、包容你的时候，别人未必愿意。

You Have Clothed Me with Your Glory

I played one of my own songs just now, which I composed years ago. The music sounded nice to me.:) When I first composed it, I didn't quite like it. Probably at that time, the perfectionist streak in me was still quite dominant, and that was why I didn't quite like it. Or maybe because at that time, I still had a lot of spiritual and emotional clutter, which made it difficult for me to appreciate my own musical talent.

So Blessed

My birthday this year was special...and I felt so well-loved.:)

Bad company corrupts good character.

~ 1 Corinthians 15:33 (NIV)

 

I agree absolutely. That's why I'd rather shun certain people at work and be labelled as anti-social, than to be close to them and allow them to be a bad influence in my life.

 

Dare to Dream

Decluttering

I think I am now ready for love.:p I have done quite a fair bit of decluttering lately. And somehow decluttering of the physical environment seems to help me remove my emotional clutter layer by layer. 

Dare to Dream

Feeling 'Super' Blessed

A very dear friend gave me a Guess wallet as a birthday gift.:) I feel 'super' blessed, especially because my friend isn't well-off and she specially sent it from New Zealand.:) Furthermore, I wasn't expecting a birthday gift from her. Just her friendship is a good enough gift for me.:)

Decluttering really works.:) I could feel a positive shift in energy. Things are changing at the spiritual, physical and emotional/mental levels.:)

Grief is a process. It can't be rushed. It can't be pushed.

This is a healthy and necessary process of letting go.

Someone commented today that she'd rather let me be her counsellor than let my counsellor colleague be her counsellor, even though I'm not trained in counselling. She said something to the effect that there must be rapport between a counsellor and a counsellee in order for counselling to be effective. I agree! In fact, in all helping relationships, rapport is one crucial element. Having head knowledge of counselling theories, et cetera will never be good enough, if a counsellor is unable or unwilling to bring himself or herself down to the level of his or her counsellee. How can rapport be established if a counsellor fails to bring himself or herself down to the level of his or her counsellee?

Dare to Dream

Decluttering

In the past few weeks, I had been trying to remove some clutter in my room. And it so happened that I decided to spend the last two days and today 'decluttering' my inner being. And you know what? Yesterday, I decided to buy myself a book and one book seemed to be 'calling out' to me. Can you believe that the book is about decluttering one's physical, emotional and mental spaces?! All these might seem to be coincidental, but I don't think so. Decluttering must take place in order for a new life to be birthed and for healing to take place.

Food for Thought

I've said it quite a number of times and I think it warrants a repeat: I may not look smart but I'm certainly NOT stupid or gullible!!! You (It's a plural 'you' here) may be able to deceive other people easily but it doesn't mean you can deceive me easily. When I was a philosophy major in uni, I was trained to think critically. So please don't assume that I'm a fool!!!

你为了你的‘小白脸’做了超多的。。。例如，你显然的为了他而提升了他部门所有的人, 因而让资深的同事享有28天的年假。。。你也显然的为了他而给他异常的加薪（听说是12%）、提升他两次。。。你甚至为了他多凭请了三个同事。。。（你可以为了他做了这些违背良心的事。。。你应该知道你这样做就等于滥用公款以及滥用捐款。。。）你也为了他而给他很多学习的机会以及表现自己的机会。。。你更为了他而让他参与各项大小型活动的策划。。。还有，你蛮常接他上班、送他回家。甚至于送他和他母亲去医院复诊之类的。。。反之，你却完全没为我做什么。。。甚至于每当我上司欺压我的时候，你只会躲避，完全没替我出气。。。或许你会以为我是在吃醋。。。但是我没有哦。。。我只是在提醒我自己，你这个人根本就完全不值得让我托付终身。。。更何况你又是一个感情泛滥的情场高手。。。

Solitude

I will be spending the next three days on decluttering and in solitude. Hopefully, much decluttering work will be done during this period. And hopefully, much will be gained from this period of solitude too. 

Dare to Dream

My Thoughts

If I can tell that someone whom I have met for the first time is 'dangerous', obviously I can also tell who are not my real friends and who are those who befriend me with ulterior motives. I may not say it but it does not mean that I do not know. I may not look smart but it certainly does not mean that I can be easily deceived. 

Dare to Dream

Telltale Signs of Deceit

It's actually not that difficult to tell when a person is not being truthful (sincere). The obvious sign is when he (she) blinks his (her) eyes involuntarily when he (she) talks to you (unless he's (she's) already an expert in deception and he (she) can lie through his (her) teeth). When he (she) talks to you without facing you but instead facing another direction, that's another sign that he's (she's) not being truthful (sincere), unless you know that he's (she's) shy. And another sign that he's (she's) not being truthful (sincere) is when he (she) turns his (her) head to the right when he's (she's) talking to you. 

Dare to Dream

Arrogance vs Humility

I am very amazed when people with no training and no experience in a particular field question the knowledge of someone who is very experienced in that field, and with such audacity! These people are so arrogant! They need to learn humility.

My Thoughts

In the context of my workplace, I think it's terribly unwise to employ a counsellor who's not effectively bilingual. There'll be times when she's required to provide counselling to Mandarin-speaking clients. And if family members or relatives are not available to do the translation for her, her colleagues will have to help. Man-hours are put to waste as a result. And if two people are employed to do the same amount of work that was previously done by one person or if more people are employed to do less amount of work, it's not only a waste of manpower, it's also a waste of financial resources. All these should not have happened, especially when it's a charity that relies on government funding and donations (from companies and individuals). I'm very amazed that the management of a charity that had its IPC revoked in the past does not seem to have learnt its lesson. 

Dare to Dream

Karate

I think girls should learn karate (or other martial arts) from young to protect themselves from serial rapists, etc, especially in places and countries where there is a high incidence of crimes (including rape) against girls and women.

Difference Between a 'Goat' and a 'Sheep'

There is a key diiference between a 'goat' and a 'sheep'. A 'goat' has the appearance but has no real substance whereas a 'sheep' has both the appearance and real substance. That is why a 'goat' will end up in hell wheareas a 'sheep' will go to heaven.

Dare to Dream

Some people simply enjoy bullying others and yet are thick-skinned enough to pretend to be fair in front of their bosses. They are such despicable hypocrites! They are probably thinking that they will continue to be spared from judgment/punishment just because they have been spared all these years. There is a season for everything and their season for judgment/punishment is probably near at hand.

Dare to Dream

My Thoughts

No matter how experienced a person is in a particular job/field, there'll always be things that he doesn't know pertaining to that particular job/field. So it's ok to admit that you don't know certain things (even things that may be expected of you to know). There's no need to pretend that you know when you actually don't. It takes a person who is humble to admit that he doesn't know. And it takes a person who knows his own worth and who is self-assured to admit that he doesn't know, even admitting to someone who is new to a particular job/field that he doesn't know certain things. Therefore, to those who feel compelled to prove their own worth to the people around them, I want to say the following: Learn to appreciate your own worth. Work on your self-esteem. And know that each of us is made differently with his own unique talents and capabilities.

Food for Thought

The people you choose to be close to can influence you (and your character) negatively, unless you have such a strong willpower and you are constantly on guard against being influenced. However, it is simply impossible to guard against being negatively influenced all the time. That is why if you choose to be close to someone who is wicked, you will eventually become wicked. And if you choose to be close to someone who is cunning, you will eventually become cunning. In other words, you will become the mirror image of those you choose to be close to. That is why I am very particular about who I choose to be close to.

Today, a colleague who's very lacking in integrity, actually questioned my integrity, albeit in an indirect way! (To her: You have NO right to question my integrity when you yourself lack integrity!!! I always pride myself on the fact that I'm a woman of integrity!)

I finally managed to snap a photo of a sick and disgusting man who talked to me in a demeaning manner (as if he was talking to a cheap woman) in the past! Even though I showed my displeasure at his offensive manner then, he continues to deliberately come close and look at me in offensive ways every time I dine there alone. Such a sick man must be put to shame!!! Incidentally, he's just an OLD and UGLY coffee shop assistant, which make his offensive ways seem more offensive!!!

According to the tour guide, the condo units here costs many millions of dollars each!

 

 

We were told to take pictures of the skyscrapers...according to the tour guide, these commercial buildings will be demolished within the next couple of years to make way for residential buildings.

My Thoughts

My boss once arrogantly insisted that the intellectually disabled - including those who are high-functioning - cannot be counselled to change their behaviours because, according to her, they can never change. But I didn't agree and I still don't agree with her view. I believe that those who are high-functioning can be counselled to change their behaviours if the counsellor employs behaviour modification techniques or some other appropriate techniques.

Fare Hike

How can the relevant authorities propose another fare hike when there have been quite frequent train delays (due to whatever reasons)???!!!

Dare to Dream

Human Trafficking



It is mind-blowing and sad to think of how human beings - particularly men - can be so wicked to enslave women and children in prostitution through human trafficking. Something needs to be done for these poor women and children who are forced into prostitution!!! Are the law enforcers doing enough to stop human trafficking? This morning, a colleague was telling me that there are a lot of women from China who are being trafficked into Singapore and are forced into prostitution. Sigh...

My Thoughts

I don't understand why there are still many women who visit India despite the many cases of rape there. Even though I like to travel, but I will never risk my safety and sanity. Imagine the trauma! It may take one's lifetime to heal from the psychological scar!
