I am a cry-baby. I feel so embarrassed of myself that my eyes welled up easily when I am being reprimanded. This was the second time that the angmoh scolded me. As usual, I just stood there listening, not defending myself. I dun have the energy to argue with him or maybe I just lack the courage. I felt so 委屈. Lucky I have my colleagues to encourage me. He told me to have a firmer stand next time and added this phrase which made me laughed..."老虎不发威,当我是 hello kitty 啊！". They told me not to be scared of him. These encouragements warmed my heart :)I need to be more 坚强 myself and "fight" him bravely. I or I shld say.. we will wait patiently for the day when he decided to leave this company...haha
Had our mooncake festival celebration in holland v settler's cafe yesterday. This is a tradition of the company. We had a great time there. I had taken a liking to shoot photos recently, taking down the wonderful moments of my life...
These are part of my dearest colleagues..the lunch group. From beside me..huiling..huimin..and akasta.

Not forgetting the "lamest" person of nmt..TERENCE...evident from his pose. He acted Chang Er in the skit last night..haha..unique Chang Er of nmt.
The organizers of the gathering...Weicheng and huiling. Must thank them for their effort amidst the tiring research work they have to do.
There are other colleagues but I did not take their pictures as my phone has limited storage space. But guess all the candid photos will be in the comapany's shared folder in no time..gee.

| You Are 40% Left Brained, 60% Right Brained |
The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.
Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.
If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.
Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.
The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.
Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.
If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.
Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports. |
Chose this quiz to do.. wanted to know if i m left brained or right brained..
I am pretty balanced..guess I am poorer in communication with 40% left brained. Hmm..dun agree that I am good at writing and art. But I am sure good at "stoning" and daydreaming...anytime when I am free..especially after lunch..i will set aside time to stone abit. I tend to think alot and can be quite melancholic..and my mum says its evident from the messy palm lines i have. I think and imagine my future, worry about the present and regret about things i did in the past.
I realized that things I hope to happen or thought will happen often end up to opposite to what i imagine. Dun know whether this happens to me only or also happens to others. For example..thought that i will be off work on time to talk to my colleague on our way home..but end up she has things on and i doing ot. Thought that me n my frens gg on tour after graduation..but cancelled in the end. I guess its better not to pin too high hopes or should i say plan for the future..as it often turn out in the opposite version from what i expected.

Strange to say that working is more fun than studying but this is wat i feel now..i find working in nmt so much more better than the time i spent in uni...I got to know many frens in nmt, frens who i get to interact and pour out my feelings to. Truely love the amicable interactions we have in the company. I have my colleagues there to share and exchange knowledge with when I encounter difficulties...except for the ang moh la.
On top of that, we destress by talking abt lame jokes and playing lateral thinking games (guessing the whole story with only partial story told) during lunch and in lab...n even on skype...haha. I have never laugh so heartedly for a very long time. Yesterday, we celebrated birthday for our best fren and colleague, Akasta ( one of the members of the lame group..haha) with a small cake. He is one of the colleagues I got along very well with :)
Apart from work, I am actively learning Hanyu(chinese) terms for the chemicals and analytical techniques from the China colleagues. Find them veri friendly, not like the ones i met on streets..haha.
I will be shifting my office seat soon, to a one nxt the window...reason being the ang moh wans to change and we being in the same group, needs to sit together. He thinks that nobody knows his intentions, that is to sit in a corner n watch U-tube and download pirated movies during office hours. But apparently all of us knows (and i am glad that all of them knows his bad attitude and understands my problems in work). Though the seat is nxt to a window where i can watch the scenary outside, but i stil prefer the one i sitting now, in the middle of the office and i can talk to anyone just by standing up. Going to be segregated in a corner soon :( Anyway, i spend lesser time at my desk than in the lab, coz i dun like to face the ang moh, whose butt seems to be glued to his seat in the office.
Its such a dilemma that I hate the company few weeks ago and love it now..but the hateness < "loveness".. coz i hate the company because of one ang moh and love the company because of the reasons above. Hope my happy mood can last..haha
