师父说过。。。

Remembered once I asked shifu, why do we seem like we are becoming more harsh during negotiation training?

He said, sometimes, we forget that we were there, like the trainees, once.

Today, I thought about this when I saw a snigger on my boss' face when I said "you didnt hear this from me", because I wish to remind myself that,

In the future, no matter what situation I am in, to remember where I came from, whether I am in the position of mentor, leader or friend. I think we take it for granted sometimes that, just because it is rosy for us now, mean that other people are in the same state of mind, physical/mental/etc.

It is easy to condemn.

Read an actress' tribute to Alan Rickman on how he provided his full attention to he at a dinner and told her to follow her heart when pursuing her career. Seems cliche the way I summarised it, but it is inspiring. I think of the way we are lost and hoping for guidance when we just graduated (me actually). People think that are looking at this (face) in the movie, but actually they are looking at this (heart).

I guess we need to put our heart into what we are doing, no matter what it is. It is probably easier to do so if that is what your heart wants to do. 

Hahahaha had so much fun reading the earlier posts. I think my brain became simpler and more basic after one year of taking care of junior! 

Maybe it is a good thing, back to basics!

After so long...

Its been a year since I last updated this. And now, blogs are not even 'in' anymore. And any motivation to continue is no longer there. Anyhow, since I have kept this for more than 10 years, it seems like a pity to stop? Hahaha hoarder's mentality...

A year on, life is some what steady state again. Glad that I have managed to find the equilibrium after the new addition, somewhat. Learning to find time for myself, taking care of myself, in order to be a whole person to look after the little one.

Little one is definitely growing up too fast. I am trying to enjoy every present moment I get to spent with her, even the times when she acts up or is cranky. I always remind myself that the moment that we spent together will never come back and each moment defines itself.

Being a mother also made me a little more.... Morbid? In a sense, I am always minded that the next moment I may no longer be around or healthy enough to care for her. 

In any event, I hope that her time spent with me is memorable and she remembers us as being playful and happy most of the time :)

In time to come, I will have to face with disciplining her and instilling right values. Most of which, would mean I need to be a good role model, and people around her. So far, she hasnt behaved too badly, Im thankful for that. 

Hopefully I can find more pockets of time to make updates here!
