The Weekend
Fri:
Division Retreat. Can't say that I learnt anything new (that I didn't know b4) about the workplan for the coming year, but we did go for KTV after that, so a workday was simply blown away like this. Amazes me how we spent our workdays sometimes.
Had a shock in the evening, as I learnt that one of my trusted aides will be leaving me sooner than expected. But I read a book the same evening that taught me to let things go and not grow attached to things. All worldly unhappiness comes about because we grow attached to material items, pple, wants. If we just learn to let go or see them as what they really are, we will be happier. I am trying to learn to be detached.
Sat:
Sat down and read through the materials needed for Mon's consultants' presentation. Had to rush through it, cos wanted to join the Choir Pals asap. The consolation was I knew I wouldn't be much help in the baking of Hilton's Cheesecake, but I did miss out on the whole baking process in the end.
After lots of oohs and ahhs about how red my hair was, we settled down to discuss about Greenie's lovelife. It blows my mind away that her lovelife is filled with loads of drama and excitment. I don't know if I will enjoy it if I am in her shoes, but hats off to her for her ability to attract guys. Maybe I should learn from her.
Also had a qn about whether we will choose a guy to be a gd bf or gd husband. Instinctively, I answered gd husband, but what Veelo said makes perfect sense too. It actually all boils down to what is the thing that is hindering the guy from being a gd husband. If this character/trait can actually be changed, it really doesn't matter that he may only make a gd bf now, but not a gd husband in future, since nobody knows what will happen in future aniwae. I shall keep this in mind. I shall think less with my head and more with my heart for the next guy who chases me (if ever there's a next one). I promise...no more crossing any guy out just bcos he doesn't meet my basic criteria of height, background, education level etc.
It was also the last evening together with XY b4 she leaves for HongKong. I guess we, as well as XY, all had mixed feelings over this farewell, which though not forever, signified a major milestone in all of our lives. Frens forever no matter where we may be in future.
Sun:
As usual, I hv my usual way of making myself feel bad just cos I felt that the world was moving on w/o me, be it in career or romance. Hence, readily agreed when my gd pal Amanda jioed me out for a quick meal and movie. Though I am older by 4 yrs, I always feel most at ease with her. I can be my true self, articulating the most evil/jealous thot in my head w/o feeling all too bad, simply bcos she would also reply that she feels the same way. Haha..aniwae, Click is a gd show. I have resolved to enjoy my life for what it is, regardless of where it may bring me to. There may be difficulties, but yup, I want to live every part of my life as my own. I may never be successful or romantically involved by society's standard, but what's imp is my own definition of life.
