This is crucial if you want to earn ppl's respect and to improve yourself. Especially at the management level, the ability to digest comments and take it from there will benefit not just himself/herself, but also the whole working team and even the whole organisation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sigh.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That will only happen in an ideal situation.&lt;br /&gt;Everyone is opened to constructive comments and feedbacks, no personal attacks allowed.&lt;br /&gt;However, this kind of ideal situation does NOT occur everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND it is &lt;u&gt;definitely&lt;/u&gt; not in my department.&lt;br /&gt;Things did not improve after the discussion the other day, in fact, the situation gotten from bad to worse. All of us do not talk to her unless necessary, she will just pass us the things to do and assumed we'd know what she wants to do or what was the instruction given by the higher levels. She would just say 'you coordinate for this/that/blah' or 'do everything'. There is an increasing level of 'bo chap-ness' in her now, if she is not IC of that particular job, she doesn't even look like she care about the updates during team meeting.. and we felt like she is jus waiting for the time when we will get into trouble for not following the instructions given (since it wasn't clear from her and it's very vague what we were supposed to do).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A time-bomb ticking nearby...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sarcasm in her tone even spreaded to people from other dept or even the cleaner. For instance, the item from an auction has been delivered to the office before packing and send over to the owner. The cleaner merely said "&lt;em&gt;wah so pretty&lt;/em&gt;".. And she made a sarcastic remark in return "&lt;em&gt;of cos la, very expensive leh, $**K leh&lt;/em&gt;!". I mean, u do not have to make the cleaner Aunty feel tt she is poor and couldn't afford the item right?! Your moodiness should not vent on other people. Then later the day, another colleague was curious and asked who bid for the item, she said "&lt;em&gt;some kind soul lor&lt;/em&gt;" and gave a very irritated face (like, 'stop being so KPO la you' face). This colleague is slightly chubby, and said "&lt;em&gt;the owner must be very slim.. Blah blah"&lt;/em&gt; and yet she can still sneer rudely in agreement. Oh my TIAN!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not know whether she did it on purpose, or she is really immature for her age + designation. We registered for a course as a team, but due to limited slots, we have to split into 2 groups. My colleague and I wanted to go to the first class, and the other colleague doesn't mind going to the second class. She WANTED to go to the first class, but sadly we took up the slots earlier than her. SO, she wasn't happy and forwarded the email to our boss to make the decision. Luckily boss said this is a small matter and we shld decide on our own... THEN she insisted to draw lots to who goes to which class. (THINK, CHILDISH? at the age of 40+, want to fight with 2 'kids' at half her age...). The other colleague mentioned he does not want to draw lot and willingly give us the 2 slots for the first class :D (*Thank U to uuuu!). HENCE she has no choice but to keep quiet and showed us the SUPER BLACK FACE. Seriously cannot take it..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dark clouds seemed to be looming above our heads every day, especially dark and heavy + lightning seemed to strike anytime in the morning. Ignore greetings from us, always pull on a long face (now, who is the more EXPRESSIVE one? &lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;p.s. will talk about this 'expressive' thing in the next post&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I kinda regret being so opened to discussion and feedback about her and stuff earlier this week. But seriously my colleague and I could not take her bossiness (to the MAX) and unreasonable-ness when she is stressed at work.&lt;br /&gt;I do not know how much longer I can tahan this kind of rubbish from someone at the managerial level, see more than 8 hours from Mon to Fri, 4 hours on Sat...&lt;br /&gt;I guess all I can do is 忍 and do my part, ignore her and still do my part.&lt;br /&gt;FML....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2765745273913791231-2100392510008081815?l=shiny-stardust.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shiny-stardust.blogspot.com/feeds/2100392510008081815/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shiny-stardust.blogspot.com/2010/09/to-be-constructive-or-not-to-be.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2765745273913791231/posts/default/2100392510008081815'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2765745273913791231/posts/default/2100392510008081815'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shiny-stardust.blogspot.com/2010/09/to-be-constructive-or-not-to-be.html' title='to be constructive, or not to be..'/><author><name>xoxojess</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12776790076630997588</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pjO9ioT9DrE/Sk2oFFQ9MPI/AAAAAAAAABA/erv26_Yhtxg/S220/SNC00815.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765745273913791231.post-6853761407185106735</id><published>2010-09-21T23:20:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2010-09-21T23:25:23.464+08:00</updated><title type='text'>MSN honeys!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large; "&gt;I am glad to have these 2 honeys to brighten up my day today!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Number ONE:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;My cute little &lt;i&gt;sister&lt;/i&gt; is always there to be my listening ear and supporting me + bitching with me!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;THANK YOU DEAR! :D&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pjO9ioT9DrE/TJjMiFyIsDI/AAAAAAAAADg/dzp4iuf2IpU/s1600/msnwjoan.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img style="text-align: center;text-decoration: underline; display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 254px; height: 320px; " src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pjO9ioT9DrE/TJjMiFyIsDI/AAAAAAAAADg/dzp4iuf2IpU/s320/msnwjoan.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519386229382623282" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;text-decoration: underline; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Number TWO:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;AND my MUSHY colleague! omggggggg!!! so sweet laaaaa...

There are devils lurking in the dark, evil creatures crawling behind your back, and dangerous obstacles waiting for you to fall into.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was very excited after graduation. "FINALLY! i can earn money and pamper my loved ones, daddy can semi-retire, and i can spend my own hard earned cash on my pretty pretty clothes/accessories..." I forgot to tell myself something that daddy has been constantly reminding me of. I need to learn to be more wary of people especially since im stepping into the working society. He was always worried abt me, cos i'd always naively assume everyone is nice, not evil; won't hurt me... aka [没有防人之心].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initially i thought daddy was just being over-anxious cos i have helpful bosses and friendly colleagues. But slowly, i agreed with him.. i discovered these are just smoke screens. I've seen the ugliness of human beings, resort to do anything just to claim their worth, or to make u seemed worthless. Though my 'sights/experiences' are still shallow, it has already scare me. They will claim credit they did all these (when it wasn't actually done by them) if the outcome is postitive; or push the blame to you (me) if it is negative. &lt;em&gt;"Thanks" for these learning experiences&lt;/em&gt;.. Or they can twist and turn their words in front of higher authorities just to make themselves look better or cover their mistakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used to talk abt my personal issues to them, but i found out sometimes, colleagues are just colleagues. They can never be your friends in life. So i reduce the amount of stuff i reveal..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did not want to let my parents/bf know abt me being upset too often.. cos it hurts me to see them worry. But i m the EXPRESSIVE and EMOTIONAL type of person, who doesn't like to hide my feelings, so i always blurt out the truth to them. I m true to my feelings and am &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; the kind who will smile at you but deep down inside disliking u.&lt;br /&gt;Last Wed, i finally broke down over dinner with mummy. Treatment at work by a particular person was terrible (spare the details here). The tears has been accummulated for weeks and they finally overflow. Mummy asked me to quit my job if im really unhappy, she said it breaks her heart to see me cry... but i didnt want to. I do not wan to be seen as a weakling (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;to show the bully that i've lost/cant take it anymore&lt;/span&gt;), irresponsible person (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;to leave my job half-done when things are piling up&lt;/span&gt;) or to be a quitter. Daddy taught me how to change my mindset over these, and it calmed me a little [&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;if not, i m very tempted to give that person a tight slap for being such a *****!&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I HATE BACKSTABBERS, HYPOCRITE! In fact, i think they are just cowards who do not dare to talk to you face-to-face over the matter. My colleague felt exactly the same way towards that person, and i wanted to be more open to discussion, so that the situation can improve.&lt;br /&gt;Instead of confronting the person, i informed/feedback to the person gently that we hope to change this/that/etc to work better in the future.. Little did i know this person called my colleague and confronted her in a very harsh tone.. and even feedback to higher authority regarding this issue though it can be solved between us. We will be seen as being 'defiant' to superior if we said too much too detailed, or to be seen as finding problem out of nothing if we keep our mouth shut. Either way will make my colleague and i look bad isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;Up to a certain point of discussion, both of us gave up explaining and let the opposition take her stand/let her deny the facts we said, even if the facts were incomplete. We just have to accept it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through this experience, I know i've to keep certain views to myself, to accept that this is the working reality and just do what i've to do. To learn to control my expression and emotions, be cautious of what comes out of my mouth and to be careful of my back every now and then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working everywhere should be the same, if not worse (i heard). So i guess i jus have to learn and grow to customise myself to fit into the working society. I'll just do my part and NOT let anyone has the opportunity to stab me for not doing my work [which i have been dutifully fulfilling my task laaaaaaaa, just in case u know. tsktsk..]. Thankfully i have my family/bf/friends and some colleagues who will stand by me, if not i would not know how to survive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felt better now after ranting. Thanks for listening, my dear blog. :) I'll be back soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;*Identities are kept secret to protect myself from any further disputes.

Initially the morning waking up part was torturous, since i've been waking up around 9am, after graduation. Getting used to waking up at 645am now, but the almost-1-hour bus journey makes me '&lt;i&gt;weak&lt;/i&gt;' every day. HAHAHA!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stepping into the working life is something i've been looking forward to, since the start of the degree course. Now that i'm finally &lt;i&gt;IN&lt;/i&gt; it, it wasn't that interesting afterall, except for the &lt;b&gt;ka-ching $$$&lt;/b&gt; every end of the month. I m part of the routine white collar workforce now - wake up, work, go home, sleep.... and repeats everyday.

Aunt bought him at $1300 (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;original price $1800 but she managed to slash the price by $500. woah! pro bargain-er. HAHA.&lt;/span&gt;) and wanted to sell him at $800. She has another West Highland Terrier, and ordered another reddish brown coloured poodle (still at pet shop cos she is a newborn.) and plus Cookie = 3 doggies at home. Uncle doesn't want to have so many dogs at home, sooooo... she wanted to sell this cute little cookie away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;I've always like Cookie since the time i saw him @ aunt's place. Uber cute, looks like a white fur ball, and follows my aunt especially when he is afraid of unfamiliar faces. A precious darling! So when aunt told us her decision, i was v upset. She asked me to help her find a new owner (that's why i texted some of you), and asked if i would like to take care of him for a week before he is sold - which i begged mummy to allow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;The first night was a &lt;strong&gt;disaster&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The moment we got back to my home, cookie started 'sticking' to me like magnet (which i kinda like it. HEHE.). He is not toilet trained and pee-ed in the living room and the kitchen. It was my first time cleaning pee pee. *ewww. But i told myself, if i want to keep Cookie (before returning to aunt), i must learn and take up the responsibilty to tc of him. I brought him to the garden downstairs to poo poo, and had to pick the poo poo up. That's worse, considering i don't even dare to clean poo poo from lizards/cockroaches and other pests. Luckily he doesn't poo at home, only pee at home. LOL. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first time was always the hardest, and i did it! :) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Bedtime came... we decided to keep him in the kitchen with his "bed" and closed the kitchen door. I actually had to tuck him into the bed, ran out of the kitchen, and close the kitchen door. He started scratching the door and winced. Good thing about Cookie is that he rarely barks, so he is less noisy. Except at people he dislike or when he is jumping and playing with you. We ignored him, cos we wanted him to get used to the new environment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://img228.imageshack.us/i/cookie1k.jpg/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/4244/cookie1k.th.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;This is his 'bed'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 4am, it started raining. Mummy and I woke up to close the windows. The moment we opened the kitchen door, he ran to me, shakily. The kitchen was in a mess: newspaper we laid on the floor was badly torn, pee-ed on mummy's cabinet, pee-ed on the floor and pee-ed on his 'bed'. I hugged him, den cleaned him while mummy cleaned the mess. He refused to sleep = mummy and i couldn't sleep.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;So, on the second night, we put him to sleep with me in my room. I need to show him at least 1 part of my body, eg leg or arm, when i m lying on my bed, or else he would stand up and make noise to 'notify' me. HAHAHA. sounded funny? it's super tiring and i didn't sleep well on my second night with Cookie. Same goes to the third and forth day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Mummy couldn't take it cos she sees her daughter turning into a PANDA. So yest, we had to send cookie back home to my aunt. Boohoo. Yesterday morning, we wanted to bring him out for the daily morning walk... but he refused to buldge, refused to leave my place. I had to drag him out cos i don't wan poo poo in my home. Mummy guessed probably Cookie knows he is returning back to aunt, hence refused to head out. Made me even more sad! After several days of sleeping with him, hugging him, letting him tail and lick and leaped on, I grew attached to him. No choice, a deal's a deal. I need to return him to aunt anyway...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Then good news came. Aunt saw the way Cookie stick to me @ her place, and cookie's ignore to her callings, she decided to give Cookie to me!!! :DDD No more selling to strangers and worrying about cookie. However, mummy was reluctant. All along she refused to let me keep a dog. After much persuasion from my aunt, cousins and myself... she made another deal with me. We will bring cookie home for another week. If he can become more independent, ie, don't need to sleep only @ the sight of me.. and can be toilet trained within this week, I can keep him forever!!! YAY!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Hopefully cookie can pass all the 'tests' and stay with me! :D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;All advices to train doggies are welcome!

This meant that my bf does not have anything to hide from me and is 100% honest to me. *beams*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remembered having a conversation on such topic with some of my girlies previously. Their bfs refused to reveal the password to them, due to some 'privacy' reason. Yeah, it's true everyone needs their privacy. However, sometimes, a girl asked for your password not to check on you or restricts you from interacting with other girls, but to test if you can be totally open to her,  show her: "&lt;strong&gt;Hey, I have nothing to hide&lt;/strong&gt;.", by giving them the access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Girls are more emotional by nature, as compared to guys. To a girl, especially in a long-termed r/s, security is an important issue.

One reason for the change is... I can upload photos directly now! :) [i need to pay to upgrade to a premium account @ diaryland to upload photos. hrrmpf]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YAY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but before i can always include photos in my entry, i need to get a nice slim digital camera. my 5mp Omnia hp camera does not give me nice photo qualities at night. RARRR! the flash is uber uber strong, and if i use the flash within close distance, either the nose or half the face "disappear" because the light is tooooo bright!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/1978/snc00004.th.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TEEHEEs. jess 'without nose'! :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several of my close friends (names kept discreet) are dealing with tough issues right now. I do not know what else i can do during this period, except to promise to lend a listening ear, be your pillar of support, and shower you with my love!&lt;br /&gt;You girls ought to know i m always here alright! No matter wad! &lt;333&lt;br /&gt;When people tried to pull you down, stand up strong and show them you are not afraid of them.&lt;br /&gt;When people say/do mean stuff to hurt your feelings, cry out loud (away from them ah!) and don't brood over it.&lt;br /&gt;When people spread untrue rumours about you to tarnish your reputation, heck them, they will get their retribution one day (not being as bad as them... but i believe this is true. Karma.),&lt;br /&gt;If you fall out of a relationship... don't worry, you have other friends who still care about you - MEEEE!!! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love you, girls! I really do... (OF COS, i love my bf a lot too la! HAHA. and i m gonna miss him for the weekends cos he is out-of-town. boo.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a nice evening with shan and kay yesterday night @ butter factory, for studio wu's Wu Amplify launch event! woots! and i was really excited to see a primary school friend (EDE!) after 11 year.. so pretty, danced beautifully. *applause*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photos are with kay kay.. so need to get from her first. (that's why i said i need my own digi cam la. lol.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i seriously need to rest for now, because i stayed up till 330am to vet my schoolwork and woke up at 715am to submit it today. (special thanks to NID and ben, if you are reading this.) totally zonked out.
