Attended a workshop just to criticize it!

Presenter at the workshop :P

I had to attend a workshop recently, and it was not because I had to participate and learn something from it, instead, I was asked to criticize it.

The whole class had to do it actually, it's part of developing ourselves professionally... although I did not see the professional side of us during the workshop coz most of the time, we were giggling, passing notes around and making faces at the poor guy conducting the workshop.

Don't get me wrong, we are all adults and we know how to conduct ourselves in a workshop, but the fact is, the workshop was so boring and it was beneath our level. I know I'm not that smart, wait a minute, I am that smart, so I take it back, heh. Thing is, the materials that the presenter prepared were all stuff that we teach in college, and most of us know stuff like that in and out, and there he was, assuming we know nothing about what he was talking about, explaining the same, simple concept over and over again... As if that's not enuf for us to pick on and criticize, he actually enunciated few words wrongly, and of course we heard his mistakes all too well. Felt like a vulture that day la.

So obviously la, we got bored and we started doing our thing, which is what students do. hehe. To top it all off, there was some construction going on in the building, and I swear, it felt like they were drilling towards us! lol. It was sooo loud at one point, we were talking, and the presenter was talking, but nobody could hear anything.

The poor guy finally stood in the middle of the class and started yelling his heart out. So finally we decided to shut up and listen, and thank god he finished early, so we all clapped away when he asked, "Any questions?" -_-

I know, I know, so unprofessional, hehe.

The "To be Professionally Developed Gang"

*tsk tsk, gonna be a loooong process alright :P

Is it wrong to not be able to tolerate others?

No, don't get me wrong, I'm the Queen of Whiners, oh wait, sorry Jes, lol.

But yea, I do it a lot too, it's just that I only whine to certain people, and my all time favourite victims are of course Sexy Jesy and Bradshaw. The reason behind it... simple, they are the people I hold closest to my heart and they know me all too well, they've stood by me in good times as well as bad, and they would never judge me, that's why they're my besties.

Recently, I've been overwhelmed by the amount of whining made - not by me, but by a colleague. To start with, I don't even know her that well, so why on earth would you tell me stories bout how you fought with your boyfriend, how he fucked up your day, how ignorant he is, and finally, why, oh why on earth would you tell a person you've known for a complete 3 weeks how your boyfriend and you have sex????

Really... WHY?

As if all that relationship whining that comes in first thing in the morning is not bad enough, then comes lunch time whining, where she bithces and butches ( not literally la) about the entire office. The moment I come back from lunch, I feel so drained out and completely demotivated to work, and I hate being the hypocrite that says this, but all that negative energy seriously drains me out.

I hate sitting next to her, I hate having to face her every morning, I simply dread lunch time and its not cz she's a bad person, cz she's really not, but I really can't take her whining no more!

So much so, my other colleagues actually told me that they pitied my situation and told me that I could join them anytime for lunch instead. Thing is, I never once bitched bout her to any of my other work mates, they just said it. So, it's not just me, and you have no idea what a relive that is to me, cz I'm a strong believer in the "Everybody has a good side and the bad side, so choose to see more of the good side and the bad side will dissolve away" kind of person. I know it sounds naive and immature, but it's true, I do feel that way.

Since I can't take her whining anymore, I've stopped having lunch with her and the moment I enter the office these days, I plug in my earplugs and pretend that the music from my cell phone is so loud, that I can't hear her. And because I don't wanna hurt her feelings, I just told her that I'm on a strict diet and I don't want to have lunch, when in actual fact, I'd be starved crazy during lunch, sigh...

All these sacrifices just cz, 1) I don't wanna blow up during lunch one day and stuff her mouth with pineapples or smtg, 2) I don't want to hurt her feelings by saying that, frankly, I just cannot take her whining anymore, 3) cz I feel that I should enjoy working wherever I am, and I have to decide how I feel about a certain workplace without letting others ruin it for me.

So yea, all said and done and outta my chest... caption for the day, however, is...

What? At least I'm not whinig ryt? -_-

DAMN!

Swamped

With work, assignments and family obligations.

Need I say more?

I REALLLLYYY NEED A BREAK.

I'm at a bridge...

Have you ever gone through a phase in life where you can't make a decision yet, and you're really eager to see how things fall through... even though the outcome could be so ugly it would haunt you forever?

Well, I'm at that phase right now. Don't really wanna talk about it coz I've talked about it too my family and friends, some say this and some say that. I'm gonna wait coz I've decided how to handle the situation after listening to some sound advice from my mother.

No matter what happens, I know my family and closest friends will back me up all the way, and because of that, I feel confident, I feel strong, and I'm not afraid of being intimidated. I love them so much for this. They are my pillars of strength, literally.

For now, I can only hope all goes well. I don't wanna hope too much though, coz I don't wanna be disappointed either. Sigh. Life get's so challenging sometimes.

How do men see you?

I received an email from jes with this link on it, so I thought I'd check it out la.

You can too, just click on this link :

This is what mine says...

Men See You As Choosy

Men notice you light years before you notice them
You take a selective approach to dating, and you can afford
to be picky
You aren't looking for a quick flirt -
but a memorable encounter
It may take men a while to ask you out,
but it's worth the wait

hmm.... jesy's said the same, no wonder we are best friends =)

I'm not a racist la, just don't like 'em all that much.

First and foremost, I'm not talking about any racial groups in Malaysia. I'm talking about a certain group of foreigners. I just can't stand em la.

I thought I'll only have to face them in class when I teach, now, they are blardy hell everywhere that I turn. Even in the Uni i study in. And the best part of it all, they have the same crappy attitude. EEEEE, feel like wrangling the neck of their kind man.

I actually do not have a problem with the feminine version of that kind, but when it comes to those testosterone filled, hormone raging, ego - feeding, hairy as ware-wolf's arse kind of species... God have mercy on me, but I absolutely cannot tahan them la.

As if stupidity beyond reason and doubt alone is not enough to substantiate their stinking clothes and people they are, they have something else to supplement it, their horrid personality.

We were all in class today, and this guy, from this specific group of foreigners happen to be in my class. This is week 4, so by now, everyone has got their act together and we know what to do and all. This guy, walks into class, like he's a gift from the Big Guy upstairs, and demands to know what the course is all about. So my lecturer was jts being kind, and explained everything to him, including the assignments and all of course. Then, as if he is the only person who has so much going on in his life, he actually asked if he could do some other assignment because he left his stuff in his country.

Like hello, you think what, the rest of us got it with us since we were born is it? Fuckin hell get your act together and start doing some work instead of complaining how you left this and that in your country la. Sheesh. My lecturer told him to post a pendrive back to his country and told him to get someone to save his stuff for him, ahhahhaha, serves him right.

This people, are so blardy lazy, but they are soo damn good when it comes to whining and complaining. I truly appreciate Malaysians more after seeing crappy foreigners like this man. I know it sounds a lil too dramatic la, but seriously, after my new job and now this, think I've seen more than I would like too from this people. I have to get outta here so I don't have to face this people la, they're blardy flooding our country!
