Freaked Out!

Last week, I suddenly got so freaked out for no reason... coupled with I got stuck in flood alone for 5 hours in the middle of the city...couldn't go home and couldn't reach anyone.

Anyway, it went away as soon as the very first day I started @ my new work. I felt very relaxed and had a lot of fun exploring new things and getting to know new people!!

I never smile so brightly the entire day like this for a long long time. :)

Been a week at new environment already... I've changed my daily schedule to early morning, woke up @6am, left home by 6:45 and arrive work around 7:30.am Although the commute is longer, but the traffic is better. I really enjoy the morning breeze while driving... (I wish I have a convertible car! ;)

Coffee machine - make pretty good cappuccino

Met my boss on Wednesday, he gave me orientation more specifically on the Region team and the new operating framework. One of the sentence he said is very impressive to me: "I'm so tempting to throw work at you, but since you're new so it won't be fair"

He then set up schedule with appropriate persons to go over everything with me this week and next week.

I think that's a very good start!

Just got a chance to watch Raising Helen - Kate Hudson, the movie is very cute. It got me thinking that sometimes certain things happen to your life that's not really your choice... and you may not like it at all... but eventually this unplanned incident might be one of the most incredible thing ever happen in your life.

I do cherish some unplanned things...like how I met some nice people
That's "d e s t i n y" ...r i g h t ?

Oct 15

Today we played badminton at a court in Sukhumvit soi 22. It's the first time ever that I beat P' Glen!!! yeahhhh ^^ it rarely happenned for me to hit the shuttlecock just right above the net (most of the time it stucked) but not today. Got several points in a row hitting such that to P Glen and he couldn't catch them. hee hee heee

I actually think the net here maybe a bit lower than at YWCA that we usually play... hmm anyway :P


The weather was very hot today and it was even hotter playing badminton in such temperature. Feeling like playing in sauna room. Nok took a break time doing some yoga move... I think she tried to do the famous "hot yoga" :)

Kao+ called asking about tomorrow if we could meet for lunch or something. He said he'll introduce me some of his friends. He's been busy traveling lately... although complaining how exhausting he was, I think he likes the job, esp the travel part.

^^

Jen and a guy

...I do understand what Jen feel ... hahahahahaha :P

Lightening and Friends

I finally got to see PIXAR's Cars!!

The movie was great! The animation was awesome... all the cars are so life-like and shiny :)

My favorite charactor happens to be "Guido" - the determined little fork-lift

The message the movie wanted to deliver was being the winner isn't everything without friends...and that's what McQueen realized after spending time in Radiator Springs on route66...
This is a short, but cute scene, from the movie:

A Phone Call

There were a few unknown phone numbers trying to get a hold of me since the begining of the week... Unintentionally, I did not answer them as the calls came in a bad timing and I don't usually return unknown missed calls.

Finally yesterday, another unknown number came in, my intuition said it was a friendly call so I answer it. Yes, it was a friendly call... It took them exactly 2 months to make decision and they told me that I'm one of their "short-listed candidates" :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are times when we feel like we are just a "nobody" to people around us (co-workers, bosses, friends, etc) ...undeniably, that certainly ruins our "will" to live the life...

but the truth is, those people are only a small part of our lives... there are several million other people out there in the world. Everyone is special in our own way. Don't feel bad if "some" people don't appreciate us. Being ourselves and do our best. There sure are people who see it!!


When you encounter difficulties and contradictions,
do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time."
