Flying higher and higher

Work is taking its toll on me. I really cannot picture myself staying in this current job for any much longer. I think the boss really matters to me where work is concerned. I have to work for someone who I admired or at least respect for, otherwise I cannot feel motivated. Right now, I am counting down to the day that I will call it quits. It is another about one month before I will hand in that letter, meanwhile is all about endurance.

Sometimes, I really wonder, when did I really start losing my motivation? To be honest, I still like what I am doing currently, but there are just certain things that I cannot come to terms with. I guess it has something to do with principle. For example, I cannot tolerate the fact that when one of my staff is not performing, instead of being sent off, she was given an increment to boost her confidence. I am not sure what is the world coming to. Perhaps, being pretty really has its advantages in this world. I am just thankful that God has given me a brain instead of external beauty.

After leaving this place, I wonder where I will end up? Actually, at this point though I really wanted to try out Down Under, but there is still a possibility that I will give up on that piece of paper that cost me 6k. Just had a teleconversation with sis in the afternoon, she made me realise that the moment I leave, Mum will all alone at home. And I know, she is the only person and the only factor that will make me give up my dreams to explore overseas. If she just say it, I will stay. Filial piety is just part of the reason, I am just worried that if I leave, I will live to regret my decision. Everything has a time limit in this world and my mother is the last thing in the world that I would want to miss the time. Life is always such a dilemma. And I know, even though she do not want to see me leave, she still support my decision.

If things go smoothly for me, I wonder what can I expect in a foreign land? How will I combat my loneliness? And findng new friends, starting all over. All these questions keep spinning in my head everyday. And to tell the truth, this is one of the toughest decision that I have to make. For the past one year, I have been thinking to leave or not to leave. I know myself. If I go, no matter how harsh reality is to me, I will still survive and become a better person. If I stay, I will always wondered what would have happened if I left then....It seems if I choose to go, I should be flying higher than I will be now. Perhaps I could see all my shortcomings more clearly, I would grow up instantly and become a more mature and less emotional person.

Something happened today that made me realise that if I am the only person left to make my own decision, I have to be much tougher than I am now. When provoked, I am just too emotional and may make the wrong decision. I really have to take care of my emotional side in order to progress in life. Endurance is the word. Hopefully what I have realised today will be able to help me in my future decision makings.

Lastly, I just hoped what I am wishing for will come true. I am just praying very hard now. If that comes true, I will be very grateful for the chance given to me just like I cherished my opportunity for making my mark in this present company. I will make sure I grow to become a better and less emotional person.

Hopefully, everything will turn out well. Praying very hard.

三十了

刚从热浪岛度假回来,心情是平静的。
选择在那里庆祝生日,希望自己有一个好的开始。
终于, 三十了。
三十, 对我而言,是一个新的旅程。

曾经说过,三十是人生的另一个开始。
在十多岁时,每天不断地啃书,为了将来。
在二十多岁时,每天为了自己的前途打拼,为了寻找自己的梦。
在三十多岁时,不再彷徨,对自己的生活有了一定的目标,为了享受生活。

我想三十的我,开始变得不一样。

三十的我,少了年少的霸气,多了一份成熟。
年少的我,可以为了一丁点小事,翻天覆地。
三十的我,遇到任何的事,虽然还是会动火,但是多了一份分析,不再理直气壮。
这,就是岁月的蹉跎。
人,因为随着经验的累积,开始学习成长。
三十的我,终于长大了。

三十的我,开始对生活没有太多的要求。
才发现,原来简简单单地过活,也是一种美。
三十的我,开始发现家的重要。
才发现,原来岁月不饶人,看见身边的人慢慢地老去,很可怕。
才了解,多余的时间应该腾出来给身边最重要的家人。
三十的我,开始了解有个伴的重要。
才发现,一个人独自走完一生,太孤独了。
才发现,两个人一起走完一生,那才算圆满。

三十的我,还是不断地在学习做一个更好的人。
我虽然不完美,但我努力地做一个好人。
学习说话少一点,聆听多一点。
学习从不同的角度,去看待一件事。
学习要看开,不要把情义看得太重。
学习要放开,不要太多的自我防备。
学习要如何变得更有魅力,成为我想成为的人。

三十的我,将迈上另一个旅程碑,
希望每天都能不断地鞭策自己,
让我成为一个有内涵,有知识,有谈吐的成熟妇女。

为三十的我,干一杯!

谎言,欺骗

今天,心情乱糟糟的。
我也不知道怎么了。
我自己也无法解释。

今天,无意地打开Yahoo Messenger,

看到你的留言,问候我。
其实,心里是蛮开心的,
原来在国外的你,还会惦记我。
你和我说,你会去悉尼公干一个月,
而笨蛋的我,一点也没有对你的话质疑。

于是,看到你上网,便和你聊了几句。
你说,你昨日回来了。

我很惊讶,因为你最多只走了一个星期。
你说钱用完了,顿时,我心里有一种无法形容的感觉。

我不知道,我和你之间,到底怎么样形容。
我一直都把你当成是一个好朋友,
对你一直没有要求。
我只是希望你,能把我当成一个朋友,
对我坦诚。

似乎,我的这个要求也太过份了一点。
从我们的谈话,很多时候,我都觉得你好象在隐瞒着什么。
我不晓得是不是太多疑了。
太多太多的巧合,都让我觉得你对我不诚实。

今天,因为这件事,心情乱糟糟的。
原因不是因为我对你有要求,
或是有幻想。
而是,我不喜欢象猴子那样被耍。
我不喜欢被人欺骗,尤其是被我当成朋友的人。
经过这个事件之后,对你我也心灰意冷。
我不晓得有没有错怪你,
只不过,我想累了。
不想去想,不想去问。

也许,我们因为不同的文化,
不同的背景,所以想法不一样。
你曾经说过,我容易受骗,
所以我一直牢牢地记住。
也许,因为这样,你对我从来没有真诚过。
我想,就当是一个成长的教训吧。

成长,都是要付出代价的。

气馁

好久好久,没有对自己进行自我治疗。
以往,只要碰到什么不开心的事,
我不是去海边大声吼叫,
便是听张艾嘉那清晰的声音,来平静我的心情。
今天,我选择了万芳的专辑。

最近,觉得好气馁,做什么事都提不起劲。
不晓得是生理上,还是情绪上需要调养。
今天,碰了一鼻子灰,整个人好像要垮了。

首先,是被姐姐方飞机。

本来约好了要一起用膳,
却因为她的临时的一个会议而取消了。
她还是她,始终不曾说出一句“对不起”。
不晓得,何时何日,她才会衷心地和人道歉。
希望那一天,我不需要等太久。


然后,上司又和我说了一个坏消息。
香港的project又要延迟一个月。
听了之后,心情很差, 很气馁。
似乎他走马上任之后,没有一件事办得好。
我觉得我的motivation 不断地在减少,
不晓得我可以忍耐多久。
我一直告诉自己,一定要沉得住气,不可冲动。
希望,我真的做的到。

最近,我发现我的朋友越来越少了。
不晓得是因为我的心情不好,还是事实。
MSN 上长长的contact list,
可是想找人倾诉, 却找不到任何人。
一种很悲哀的感觉。
是我累了吗?

虽然最近常和他有联系,

可是我发现他还是在利用我。
所谓无事不登三宝店,
他常和我联系,无非是需要我帮忙。
真的感觉心灰意冷。
或许我们之间的感情,只是建立在能在我身上得到好处吧。

和你之间的情谊,
我想我也有点冷却下来。
我想,我累了。
不想去想,去猜测你有没有骗我。
从何你我之间的对话,
我觉得你似乎特意隐瞒一些事。
累了,我不想再多问,也不想再保持联络。
算了吧,散了吧。

看到同事们,我也觉得累了。

也许,很多时候,想法都不一样吧。
我不想一直留在comfort zone 里,
面对一群踏不出comfort zone 的人,
真的有点受不了,可是我却得逼自己接受。
有时候,真的想头也不回,就这样走出去。

最近的我,到底是怎么了?
