Life as it is, is turning for the better

recently, i have frequented to tesco to shop for cny stuff and it so happens that i go every saturday. there is a new policy in tesco. if you shop on saturday, no plastic bag will be distributed. you either bring your own bags or  just put everything on a trolley. some creative consumers are using plain boxes. hmmm...life gets interesting when you see everyone is coming out with their best brains to save the earth and me is particularly glad that everyone is doing their part. even my mum ,who used to ask me to grab as much plastic bags as possible, begins to used recyclable bags. she also buys one of the ladybird eco-friendly bags. kudos to my mum.

some will say our effort is insufficient but to me, everything should start with baby step. have you heard of journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step? and i think this particular step is vital in raising awareness among the consumers.

everything seems to head to eco-friendly themes, including my current job which also emphasizes on being green. i see my office begins using double sided printing papers and advocate recycling by placing boxes for recyclables. glad to be part of the green force. and that makes me feel the world is a better place than it used to be.

blogger feels that life as it is, is turning for the better, at least from the view he sees it. what about ya?

a good day.....

today has been a peaceful day. though I have off days during saturdays and sundays for this office job, i still have to run errands around. not to say i did it them unwillingly, i prefer to have my own sweet time, doing stuff which i like such as watching televsion, catching up with my mental reflection of my past doings and reading magazines and newspapers for as long as i like. today is just the day i would describe as great. at the moment, i can hear the birds chirping musically to each other. another moment which i find cannot be bought even with the dollars.

this must be new.not too long ago, i love to be in the crowd.as much as i love to talk, i only talk to close ones. at the present state of things, i only want to talk to people whenever i feel like it. so much for being an asian who is people oriented. now, the thought of facing people did scare me off. part of reason i feel is because i think people can be deceiving. although they might look nice and pleasant, please be mindful. this thought came to my mind when i suddenly realised my manager who looks pleasant requested me and another senior colleague to do some work after the office hours. inside my heart, i was wondering, "don't you think it is kind of inappropriate to request your juniors to do work on friday evening!" just because you are doing overtime doesn't mean others have to bear it with you as well. one more thing, me (the trainee) cannot claim OT. how is that, you inconsiderate  selfish aunty! fine, since i practised buddhism, i learned to be more patience and forgiving, i shall, with my open heart, forgive you.

people in my office say i am very direct. haha...inside my heart i was laughing as i know this comment is pretty common for me. direct is better than fake, in my humble opinion. die...there they go. my senior colleagues telling me, "this must be the so called gen Y...bla,bla,bla...." I was like...fine. they hinted i should have more respect for the elders. don't you think respect is earned? not given based on your age and position in life? if everyone starts believing that respect comes with age and position, then this world might not be the world i would like to face in the future. doing this job must be making to become a ranting, grumbling old man.fear not because today i read an article from rdasia that if you learn to appreciate the little awesome things in your daily life, you will feel better each other. to usher the 2011, i shall have write more grateful things i enjoy during my everyday life. i cannot promise i will stop complaining. one thing for sure, i will start appreciating more.

blogger on the day he feels the setting feels perfect. if only time stops.

Resolution 1 action: I am happy that today I get to drink a cup of mocha from coffee beans, complimentary from my sister while cherishing my rdasia magazine =).

me with my hyperactivity

during the few days i am doing the stocktake, i must have been driving a senior gone crazy. first, he can be seen as a very controlled and quiet person. then, out of boredom, i just talk to him for the whole journey from segamat to melaka in the car. and in my humble opinion, he must have been feeling tired to entertain me because he kept telling me to go to sleep. haha...

first time i really heard myself as being described as hyperactive. i am just being nice right? just plain talking doesn't hurt, errrr... maybe not just that. i am very comfortable talking to quiet person it seems. one, they tend to agree more. opppsss. not to say all my friends are quiet, i just want to the atmosphere more lively. in fact, he was driving during midnight so, i talked to keep him company. i presume he must be so glad to be able to ditch me off. XDD

it's okay since i no longer will have any upcoming jobs that will require his supervision. if it only takes 3 stocktakes to make him tired, i guess a week job will drive him up the wall. dunno should i be feeling sympathy with him or proud of myself.

enough about my work, since new year comes with beginning. i am here to pledge for new goals. first, i want to be lead a more healthier lifestyle. it can be eating more vegetables, less meat and increase frequency in exercise. second, i hope to regain my composure, confidence and passion. somehow, it feels lacking in 2010. but it's alright since acknowledgement of own weakness is the first step towards conquering them. third, i have a new look in mind but not too soon because i am saving up for a greater purpose. some might know, some might not. but for whatever it is, if it ever comes true, i will let you know. ciao =)

blogger is feeling the good vibe of the new year. yippeeeeee!!!! but he thinks driving his senior nuts might cause himself a bad rep in the place he works at the moment. who cares, the world should work according to his rulez anyhow. XDD
