Several friends of mine have commented that my blog is going stale...BORING! Maybe I should post something controversy, juicer....
*Warning* The following may seem to be directed to somebody, but its really comments in general. Please dont be offended.
We all know that people like to gossip. Especially when they gather during their free time, be it during lunch breaks, supper or during chilling out sessions. But do people know that gossiping is harmful? Just like how curiosity kills the cat, gossiping might actually harm relationships or even kill. When gossips pass from A to B to C to infinity, the truth gets distort and eventually when it reaches the object of discussion, its usually blown out of proportion.
I have notice that for the very same person who likes to gossip, when the grapevine is on them. They turn silent and pretends that nothing has happened and changes the topic. If you like to talk about people, be prepared to share with others when the spotlight is on you.
For the gossipers, their defence might be that they are sharing information with each other or they call it catching up. You know what is called catching up? Catching up is updating each other about what is going on in your OWN life, not updating each other about who your neighbour's dog is sleeping with! Thats called talking behind other people's back.
Personally, I try not to gossip about others. When I find myself in a gossiping session, I try my best to only listen for my own info and not spread it to others.
DO NOT DO ONTO OTHERS WHAT YOU DO NOT WISH OTHERS TO DO ONTO YOU.
WHAT GOES ROUND, COMES ROUND.
The above are my thoughts, lets now carry on to my life since the last meaningful post. Basically I have started work at Cafe Del Mar for 3 weeks coming to a month.I can say that I am overworked though I only work Friday, Saturday, Sundays and the occasional Thursday. Its due to the lack of staff - competent staff - plus the fact that its a new place and everything else is haywire. I work 12hr shifts on Friday and Saturdays and have to start work on sunday with less then 8hrs rest. So I stay over the morning in hotel rooms which our boss booked for us in the opening weeks and we pooled money to book a chalet to rest in for the previous week. I really hope they can settle the manpower issue asap. My energy is so drained that I need Monday and Tuesday to recover. Depriving me of time to settle my own stuff. Especially this pressing issue that have been dragging for a few weeks and its rather disturbing. I hope that it would be resolved by Monday, so that I could enjoy my CNY and prepare my exams in the right frame of mind.
I was surfing friendster yesterday, looking at an acquintance's profile. Then I realise that she's buddies with these gals I have notice around in school. The world is so small, as I surf on, I realise that one of them is linked to my ex Attica colleague. As I surf on friendster, I found my links thru friends to other friends, didnt know they knew each other as well. The world is truely large yet small.
Shit, no mood to blog liao, just read something disturbing....
