Realize

I can undstd why time will pass faster once one starts working bcos every week we awaits for the weekend to come. With anticipation of the weekend plus the busyness of work, it is inevitable that the weekdays pass as fast as we wish it to be. Thus it is to no amazement that we can grow older faster than we realize.

Time and money to me feels like a pie chart now. I have to ration and divide proportionately among my old friends, new friends, colleagues, work, leisure and exercise. Less time for myself. It's indeed a big challenge to embrace the new and to maintain the old. Now that I am working and receiving a monthly income, I feel so glad that I can finally and officially make financial contribution to my family le! I always hope that my entry to work can help to lessen my dad's burden. It's funny to hear from my dad's comment that I am the new ATM machine at home now! haha.

When old staff teaches new staff something, its hard for for the former to imagine what the latter dunno bcos they have forgotten what its like to be new when they are already so familiar with it. This applies to teachers in school as well. A teacher is good if he is able to teach in an unassuming way such that he can explain what he can understand from the student's perspective.

When entering a new setting, it is important to smile wherever you go. Talk even when its NOT necessary. If thats not your nature, make an effort to do so. Set reminders if you need to. ;p
