Another excerpt from "Trust and Betrayal". btw, i need to returnt he book by tmr siazz.. almost finishing half of the book oni..

"If we are pre-occupied with a frantic search for certainty and predictability, it may prevent us from understanding the complexity of dynamic relationships at work. For example, in conversations with co-workers, these individuals may have little tolerance or patience for difference with others. They may come across as self-righteous, speaking in absolutes and thinking in simplistic, black-or-white, good-or-bad terms. People who don't understand or disagree with the points they are hearing may react with a verbal attack. For these people, life is a battle to be won, and the goal is being right and winning at all costs.

"People with this approach have a simple capacity to trust and may have a limited ability to deal with the uncertainty of new situations. For example, when facilitating a team meeting, they may come across as domineering: "May way is the right way". They may have difficulty leading a dialogue session that lacks a formal structure."

I took this excerpt, as it matches my snr's character.

===========================

perhaps having lived for 25 years, n growing more matured n having more confidence, I'm ready to put a face to my blog... :)

=======================

n.. from the way i wrapped my sup's gift, n my frns', i seem to willingly take the time to b innovative n give present wrapping a new lease of life.. or fresher breathe.. instead of the normal sq box wif scotch tape visibly all over the paper.. advertising my services on sgboy...

==========================

i'm experiencing it again: i'm home, so any thot or ... thot comes to my mind, i'll blog it down. veli free hor? ya, clearing those forum msgs, den later apply jobs. i haven't even taken the snaps of adam gorgeous yet (err.. wat's a fabulous word for a guy tat starts wif A??)

ok, i went for lunch downstairs, n brought my pack of nougat wif mi. haha, the guys there was surprised tat i bought something for them siazz. den chatted up wif the young bro. he was kinda nervous (like mi). hehe, alright lah, had a cute, or blur looking, guy sitting wif mi thru'out lunch =D. when i was finding seat, he even invited mi to sit beside mi, saying "scared i eat u up meh"... haha shld i reply "i dun mind. or mayb we can enjoy each other's meat lah"

==================

sighz, had wanna spend my wkend applying jobs.. but end up clearing forums threads n pix, n watching vids. but 1 thing happy is, after doing some exciting things, n watching vids, i actually had a shocking jo experience: the shots reached my shoulder again!!! for a long time, i've not had such a great distance for jo liao!!! LOL...

n hor, being independent let mi think as an outsider a lot. now, even my sis sometimes oso may not knw why something has to ahppen. like my mum called her frns to bitch, or complain, about the happenings at work. my sis said to mi "dunno why she always have so much thigns to say abt her work" i replied "complain abt work mah".

my sis dun seem to udnerstand that, mum could have grumbles abt her work, but telling us is jus tellign a 3rd party. if she tells her colleague abt it, they may understand the story better n jokes abt it.

but at least, i am almost on par with my sis' reasoning. we discussed abt the usefulness of the terrorism mock tests, n stuff... haha...
