right…just got a feeling that this blog becomes a monthly update.

nice picture i thought. caught it at the right moment. when the boat sailed across the reflection of the sunset on the river. qingxia said some might view it as sunrise too. from whichever perspective, yup…but i voted this as one of the nicest picture I ever taken. somehow i missed this upload on my facebook so it becomes an exclusive picture to anigned now…haha. and i enjoyed this short trip as it was a good breakaway from some tension at work

2nd day of work after this trip. manage to step out of office only after 9pm each day. but i still feel ok about it. i guessed a break from work last week just freed up my tension on some bitting issues, recharging me back to face more teething problems.

i faced 2 confrontations today. one at 11am and one at 6pm. coped 11am one quite well leaving the customer’s place happily to join colleague back for lunch. 6pm one didn’t really ended on a happy note. both the customers and myself. well, is again about setting right expectations. today lunch topic was also about being baddie or good guy at work. If you portrayed right from the start as a good guy aka santa claus in satisfying your customer’s needs and wants. whatever incentives that you gave out along the way will seem as a normal treat to customers. however, if you started out as a baddie and stingy with customer’s requests. the goodies / incentives that you give to customers along the way in a project will seem like a god-sent gift to them. sounds right but sometimes situations aren’t just that simple.

this prompted me to think about life / personalities / relationship with friends and families. i admitted that i’m a perfectionist most of the time and sometimes it just seems that being too good to people and situations just land myself as an unhappy person. Haha..i seemed sometimes to lose the ability to understand what i actually like and dislike cos i gave way too much in situations. dangerous me but well, i guess if i can write about this soft spot of mine, i’m still not that hopeless case.

ok…2am…still writing as i’m resolving some web issues for bro and waiting for emails from US. i gotta sleep
