Listening to my outlet boss' side of opinion and my heart aches. He is actually not wrong either. Realised, once again, that he is so lonely. Feeling like he is fighting this battle alone with only a few colleagues behind his back.

Being strict yet polite, is it really possible? That's my suggestion to him. I'm doubting whether it is possible, yet he tells me they are complimentary. Thank you for taking my opinion into consideration. It's really hard on you both.

Being nice, people take advantage and step all over you. Being strict, people dislike you. It's so hard to deal with people. Whatever the personality, you should always respect your boss cos anyhow, he is still your superior.

Because under that cheerful facade is troubled soul. That breaks my heart.

Went to WG to ran errand but cos 3 staff were on mc, Karen-san asked me to stay and help out. I was not really in proper attire, but it was fine.

It was surprising smooth operation, since it is similar to MG, although I was only at MG for 7 months. Although pos/micros was different, but luckily I have some experience in AS.

But of course at times I was blur. But overall still okay. The customers today are all nice. :D

Always good to work with old and new staff. But I forgot to ask them to introduce themselves to me.

I'm happy that I can make my Ippudo mother proud.

And the wise words from my M. Manager.. Lack of staff, all attack all defence. Less is more.

But I really don't know what I want as a career. I mean I really enjoy everything I am doing, although I do get bored at times. Be it accounts, admin, HR, and service. I don't know about office support, if I enjoy it because I know I am helping my fellow colleagues in the outlets. But I really like doing everything. So which makes me even more confused and unsure of what I really want.

Till the day I have a clear vision, I shall do everything to the best of my abilities.

You know you have a good boss when..

She tries to let you do,explore and learn what you are interested in. :)

Too many things I didn't see. Too many things I didn't know.

Really, how is the grown up life? Exactly what does a grown-up think?

Always thought that I am mature enough to handle all these. But seems like it is not the case.

Perhaps in cases like this, it is better to be ignorant. Maybe being alone is not that bad. Because in the outside world, you really do not know who you can trust. So only a few good and close friends would be enough.

But there are really some people I want to look after and 'protect'. I really hope I can. I will do my best as long as it is within my means.

In the end will it be all worth it? Those 小小的付出，默默地付出.. will there be anyone who notices them?

在生命的最低潮，想要放弃梦想的时候，突然又得到了一股推动力。我就是想唱歌，和跳舞。

都来到了这么远，真的不想就此放弃。慢慢又能感受到那热诚。

本以为自己对身边的一切有所了解，才发现自己其实活在自己的世界里。这或许是好的吧。还是我选择看不见，让自己好过一点？

Can't believe I missed out on so many Chinese songs. So many JJ's songs. Just happened to click on JJ's youtube and so many songs which I have not heard before... :(

Maybe it's time to go back to Chinese songs. Hahhaah. but I guess a wide variety and genre is still good.

Still one of my favourite songs. Even more after listening to it live, and knowing the story behind it. :')

到最后, 能给我最多安慰的, 还是华文歌。

I think I just decided on my New Year Resolution.

I just want to study hard for my Korean and Japanese. That's all. I hope to be fluent and be able to write well in both languages. :)

I think Jap is easier as I am more exposed to it.

And to continue to work hard, as in work work.

Seems like a number of my friends' new year resolution is to be able to stand up for themselves/lives more for themselves. Should I make that one of mine too? :)

Should I be more selfish, or should I not be and feel bad for myself?

But I think now 我真的看开了。

Sometimes, you should just listen to someone and think whether or not it is really true. Try understanding from different points of view, instead of just going with the flow.

People with their disagreements and unhappiness doesn't mean that you should follow. Maybe they didn't mean to sow a discord, but you know you are influenced. I still prefer to stay neutral. I think I'll be happier this way.

My New Year Resolution?

I don't have any. Just be happier than I was last year. Treasure those around me, and hope they will too.
