Internship Reflection.

you know, i kinda like surprise chats.. unplanned and at the right time.

my manager, Vic, asked me into his room at ard 5pm in the evening. wanting to share with me some videos and photos of his trip to Krabi last weekends. den i dunno how, we ended chatting insteadf of viewing the images.

the chat was comfortable. pure sharing. perhaps some may deem it as a gossiping session, but to me it wasn't - it was harmless and i definitely understand somethings better and see things frm a better light. i wish i can share the little politics that have been happening ard the office. but typing them out means i'll be recalling them, remembering them. i shouldnt :) cos i promise myself not to let negative things get down on me..

politics? and my stand?
sure to have in every office. wherever there is human working under the same roof, its a sure thing. whats more? its a female working environment in where i am. and i jus gotta grow strong outta it.

i took train home in the late evening, recalling the past 2 months. i think within myself ive been complaining too much. this and that.. here and there.. but seriously, it wasnt that bad. i get to experience things i don't usually get to "feel" in school. never been so stressless. yes when work piles up it may get pretty frustrating, esp paperwork u see..but im gonna take it as every happening is an opportunity to learn. even if its not a skill not a knowledge, i'll take it as personal, mental or emotional growth..

im sure i will do better this way. im glad i'm receiving them well :) but i wanna do better in it.

Vic shared with his personal quote during the small chat - he said this;
when u see a negativity in someone, perhaps u also have the same problem in u.

for example, u have a grp of friends, and u feel that FriendA is a self-centered person.. but when you asked FriendB (who is a really big hearted person) about FriendA, he feels that FriendA is fine to him. thats because he is self-less, he see more of others then himself,thats why he dun feel that FriendA is self centered.

i dunno how true his quote is. but somehow, sometimes, its true i guess..
when i complain abt why some collegue doesn't smile at me..
someone reminded me "if you don't smile at others, why expect him/her to smile at you? if he/she doesn't initiate a smile.. you can initiate one what!"

how true :)
i think im enjoying work more in a whole new different perspective.
the office won't be changing for me, the people around me will stay the same.
i will change for them while i learn postively.

supporting that, allow me to a quote something i read in Her World mag that is worth sharing :
communication is about speaking the other party's language

what a good way to end this week :)
happpyyyyy weeekends peeps!

*looking forward to next friday! :D*
