人是不是都是这样的呢？
当失去了才会珍惜，
当太久不见时才会想起。。。
已经太久没听华语电台的我，今天突然心血来潮转去OneFM, 刚巧在播吴克群的《为你写诗》。听着听着，突然心里有种暖暖的感觉，好像重新找回失去已久的感动，还蛮不错的。
人往往都是这样的吧，
当我们重复地听着一首歌时，不会觉得它特别好听。
当我们重复地面对着同样的人与事时，只会把它们当成routine。
当我们拥有时，也不会特别珍惜。
当我们失去了，才来后悔可惜。
人类啊。。。何苦呢？

Before 2010~
At the eve of 2010,
I reflected back of what I've done for the past years, and found that 2009 was a great year to remember, a year full with discoveries and growth.
2009 was the year I finally graduated from Monash, receiving the expensive cert from the university and finally put a step forward to the working world. A world which is so different from what I've experienced before, and I am still taking time to adapt and learn. On top of that, 2009 is a blessing year for me, as I have met him along the journey of my life. Thank to God's countless blessing, we have made our way through even if the path doesn't seem easy, at all.
For 2010,
I just wish to continue what I am doing now, and wish to seek improvement and realization along the way, and wish to grow with him. As what my friend said, resolutions are the same every year, they only make a significance when you started to take action. Thus no more crap here. A summary for my 2010's resolution,

离别的机场~
*Crying baby*离别总是悲伤的。。。
原以为自己会坚强
但当我挥手跟你说再见时
心，仿佛在滴血
恨时间与距离把我们分开
更恨现实的不允许
一转眼，我已泪流满脸。
没有你在我身边
周围的空气仿佛变得不一样了
只剩下冷清的空气，和自己
想起几分钟前你还在我身边
现在的我独自坐在一旁
顿时觉得很孤单
眼泪，只能不停的流。
我问，
想念一个人的时候会是怎样？
你说，
会想起大家一起做过的东西，
或是想像未来会怎样。
我说，
想念一个人的时候，
心会变得很孤单，
仿佛缺了什么似的。
我不去想未来会怎样
只希望时间快点过去
直到我们再见面的那一刻。
人总是会有孤单的时候
因为每个人心里都有牵挂的人
而我心里的那个人
正是你。。。
P/S: 对不起，我只是个脆弱的女人。

Air Asia~
I do not travel often, and if I do, I do not usually travel with Air Asia. If I am not mistaken, this was the 2nd time I travel with Air Asia. The first experience was abit disastrous. I remembered going to Guang Zhou with my family about 2 years back, flying with Air Asia. Perhaps the weather was too terrible that day, or perhaps the pilot was half asleep, the plane was shaking very terribly.
We passengers, especially me was in panic, didn't know what happened and didn't know if I am gonna end my life in the plane. Then during landing, I remember having a very bad headache, mostly due to the imbalance pressure inside and outside of the plane. At the time I was only hoping to get down from the plane as soon as possible before I started puking all around.
That was my first experience with Air Asia and that gave me an impression that "cheap things are not good things". If you translate the phrase into Cantonese, it means "平也无好也", LoLx.
This time to Sandakan was my second time with Air Asia. The feeling was surprisingly very different from my first time. LCCT has expanded quite a bit since the last time I visited. Now they have Old Town and Starbucks. I remember few years back they only have McD for people to hang around.
On top of that, perhaps I am too tired, I didn't realize anything abnormal. Once I hopped into the plane, I fell asleep almost immediately. Didn't know who was sitting next to me, didn't know when they started asking for food services, didn't know when they started the duty free thing. A pig, ya I know.
Nonetheless, after about 2 hours of sleep, I was awaken by the young man sitting next to me. He was talking to himself, playing with a stack of cards. Apparently he is a magician, trying to make full use of his time to practice his skill. Interested, we started talking and he started showing me some *magics*, which I think is unbelievable. It is kinda fun thou, not that we can bump into a magician all the time. =P
After some free entertainment, it is time for landing already. He left his card to me and said I can call him anytime I want, if I need his service. LoLx. Quite a fun guy.
So here I am, Sandakan, the gateway for eco-tourism in Sabah.

Irresponsible me~
Ops...
I think I scratched my car again. This time without me knowing. My dad marched into my room with all the storm and lightning on top of his head, he asked what happened to the car again. I was rather innocent, because seriously, I didn't know I scratched again. Then he said I should be responsible to what happened to the car, he is not going to bear the cost for me anymore. It should be a lesson for me.
Well, I didn't said much when he was scolding all the way, because I know, whether I realize or not, I did scratch the car, or someone scratched me. When he finished and finally walked out, I started to trace back what I've done for the past few days and thought of the possibility of scratching my car again.
And guess what, I think it was the night where I had company dinner. I walked out of the hotel slightly high and imbalance. It took me a while to find the car and I started the engine, put to D and was about to drive forward. But then something was blocking in front. I pressed hard on the accelerator to try overcome the barrier but it still didn't move. Then I realized it was the movable parking space that was blocking my way.
But then perhaps I was slightly drunk, I didn't put much attention on it. I just reversed and get my way out. Once I was out of the car park, honestly speaking I already forgot about the incidence just now.
That is why when dad questioned me, I really didn't know what have happened to my car. Sigh... and I can't said he was wrong. In fact, I am the one at fault. @@" Such irresponsible me.
P/S: Don't drink if you cannot drink.

Miscommunication~
Miscommunication comes in many forms. But most of them are mainly because each individual has their own way of thinking and own way of conveying message. Things that are right for me may not be your cup of tea. We live at the same housing garden doesn't mean we have the same style of living. People are all different.
Today I have learned a few things. Once again this proves my level maturity. There is still a huge room for growth as I think I didn't handle the situation well. Regardless of what I hear, from the first, second or third parties, everyone is having a different storyline, even if the tittle of the story is the same. It is all based on own judgment and analytical thinking.
Perhaps all the while I am having some forms of pre-judgment, so my analytical thinking was bias. Perhaps somebody wanted to convey the wrong message, so to mess up the condition. Perhaps at the end of the day, nobody is doing anything with intention, it was just a miscommunication among human, plus different perceptions in analyzing an incidence.
On top of that, sometimes miscommunication may be arise because someone is caring for another person, but in a different way. This once again comes back to the first point where every human is different. It is important to respect each human as an individual with different kinda thinking. As although we share the same set of genetic materials, but our philosophy of life is largely deviated.
Thus, even if you disagree with one another, or you are trying to express your care to one another, always remember to put respect at the frontline, and no judgment. Things that you disgaree with, things that do not work on you, may not be the same for other individuals. Therefore, do not judge. And by the way, who are you to judge and criticize?
Well, regardless. Regardless of who is right or who is wrong. There are a few main things that I have realized tonight:
1) Learn to respect.
2) Learn not to judge.
3) Learn not to think too much.
4) Learn to be a better woman.
P/S: Once and for all, the past will be remained in the past.

Starting of December 09~
Today is the first day of my late menstruation. As usual, I feel pain and weak. Unable to focus while the doctors are talking to my senior and manager, I was just standing aside fake smiling, and pretended that I was very interested with what they were saying. Although my mind was somewhere else waiting to go home. A tiring day for me.
Today is the day where my dear gets to know his results. He wanted me to check for him first, honestly my palm started to sweat while waiting for the page to load. Although in my heart I know he is not going to fail. And as anticipated, he did well for his final! All efforts were paid off (although I not sure how much effort he has put in... Muahaha~). A happy day for him.
Sincerely, I am proud of you darling. I am really happy for you. 2009 will surely end with joy and 2010 will be full of joys too. Gambateh! ^^
P/S: Why woman has to suffer from menstrual pain? @@

Joeanne's Theory of Sales~
*Figure 1: Joeanne's theory of sales*A product specialist, as it name suggests, is a person who specializes in his/ her product that he/ she is selling. Every single bit of information from A to Z, from 1-100 must be in our fingertips. Nonetheless, being a product specialist is not merely to know your product well. There are many key players that determine if you are a good sales person or not. As everybody can sell, but not everyone can sell well.
Lets have a look at Figure 1. Say like you are very hardworking. You studied your product in detail until you can memorize everything inside out. But if you have nothing else besides your product knowledge, you are not going anywhere in sales. Because, when you go to the field, your client is not very much interested to know how your product is being manufactured and how they work and their quality, etc. They are more interested in knowing HOW your product can bring benefits to them.
This leads to the second factor in sales. You must know your customer well. First time visit to a client is usually to introduce yourself and also a chance for you to screen his/ her potential in buying your product. Once they are determined as the potential group, then consistent visit is a must, as this is the only way your client will remember you more easily. Then while visiting , try some rapport building, try chit-chat with the significant players, they can be anyone else working around your potential clients, either indirectly or directly. This is the way where you can start gather information, know and understand their needs and problems. Eventually, use different approaches as in HOW you can use your product to specifically address to your client's needs. Because in sales, clients do not buy product, they only buy solution that a product can offers to solve their problem.
For example, say like you buy a notebook today. What is the reason of your purchase? You don't buy the notebook actually, you buy the solution that the notebook offers. They can be functional (for you to write something) or they can be esthetic (a gift to someone else) and etc. So, bu understanding your potential clients' problems, you would be able to approach them better and in fact, they are more willing to spend time to listen to you.
On top of all these, we must have sufficient level of soft skill and general knowledge. This is important especially if you do not know your clients well. General knowledge can be politics, economics, whatsoever that you can read from newspaper and magazine, because they are essential tools for ice breaking between you and your clients.
Always remember that being a sales person, you don't sell your product all the times. In fact, before you can sell, we must get to know our clients first, then use different approaches to win over their hearts.
As illustrated in Figure 1, in the pool of sales person, a lot of them master only one or two factors of selling. The white fragment represents those that stand out of the crowd, as they are people who master all skills in effective selling.
P/S: THE ABOVE IS JUST MY STUPID THEORY AND I JUST KNOW HOW TO SAY ONLY... BAH!!! @@"

Listener~
*Someday, somehow we will find our way... Be strong everyone...*Have been a listener for years...
Listening to all sorta problems...
Friends crying over the phones...
And sometimes I cried too...
Actually...
Everyone is the same...
We just want a pair of listening ears...
To listen to our lives...
Our world is ain't so perfect...
The sky is not always blue...
Everyone has their own problems...
Everyone has their own sadness...
But problems are learning opportunities...
Once we get through them...
We will be one step closer...
To our desired lives...
So...
No matter what you're suffering right now...
Don't think you're alone...
Because you're not...
We face problems...
But we don't amplify them...
Be strong everyone...
Our world is ain't perfect,
But it is still beautiful.

何谓相处之道?
*白头偕老，可能吗？*从友人的口中，得知她近来过得不好。她和她那位快要步入礼堂的男朋友分手了，最大的原因？感觉已逝，男的不想再拖泥带水。伤心？难免。从这消息，令我感慨的是，难道这世界真的没有“永远”了吗？这时的我，突然很想见他。。。
所谓相爱容易相处难，相处到底是什么呢？以下是我的愚见。。。
空间
很多人都会觉得，当你爱一个人时，你就要每天见他，每天都要粘在一起。可能刚开始时，感觉是甜蜜的，但人毕竟是一个个体，都需要自己的时间与空间。相爱讲求心，相处其实也一样。给对方一些自己的私人时间与空间，让他做想做的事情，让他从别处取得对生活的满足感，减少彼此见面时的压迫感，让他觉得，你支持他对生活上其他的要求，那当他在其它方面得到满足感后，他自然而然会想念你，自然而然会来找你，与你分享他的满足感。
女人们，当你的男人说他需要私人空间，请你不要灰心，不要刻意无理取闹，反而该让他知道这是个很好的想法，你会期待他新的面孔，新的价值观，期待未来的他更加爱你，让他不必为你太过担心。一般来说，男人在这种情况下会觉得他的女人是一位可以为自己寻找快乐的女人，并不是完完全全地依赖他，这自然会减少他对这段感情的压力。
小女人vs大女人
一概而言, 大多数的男人都比女人更注重尊严，觉得他们雄性动物应该比女人强，应该是女人的护花使者，好好保护他的女人。虽说这种想法太过古老，尤其是在现今提倡男女平等的社会。但是不可否认，学会尊重你的男人也是一种相处之道。无论你在事业上是个如此强悍的女人，回到家时，不妨变成他的小女人。适时地撒娇，适时地甜言蜜语，适时地扁扁嘴，让他担当护花使者的角色，让他知道你跟他在一起很快乐，很放心。
欺骗？
除非你只想要短暂的快乐，要不然欺骗往往是爱情里的死路。如果不能坦诚相对，那试问一段感情可走多久？有人说我一天还没结婚，我都还有选择的权利。所谓一手拖一人，一三五二四六之分，在现代的社会里其实并不少见。做的人毫不在乎，但是如果有一天被欺骗的人是你，那感觉会是如何呢？
我绝对相信我们有选择爱情的权利。如果现在的选择并非是你想要的，那唯有期待下一次心动的时候，但这并不代表我们有欺骗他人的权利。人说爱情无私，但有多少人真的做到无私呢？我们人天生自私，往往很多时候都会先想到自己，后才想起他人。但就算此情不再，也不要做个伪君子，拖泥带水，欺骗他人感情。
理所当然？
一对情侣在一起久了，很多事情就会变得理所当然。行街，看戏，吃饭已是理所当然之事。昔日的火花，随着时间的流逝，也一同流逝。到了某个时候，也许双方都会安于现状，不求多变，过着循环的生活。然而，并非每一对都能安于如此的生活，因为人毕竟是人，不是玩具，非生物，七情六欲，贪新忘旧是与生俱来的。寻找刺激，激情是必然的。仲然一方过于纳木，也会尝试与爱人，做一些别出心裁的事物。即使老夫老妻，也会在意义非凡的日子，讨对方的欢心，快乐。所以，恋爱中的情侣，可别当爱人是一位挥之来，呼之去的人，别当他/她的存在过于理所当然，而是要感恩，感谢他/她的出现，在你的人生中添加一份色彩，甜蜜...
付出与收获
付出并非等于收获。如果你将两者间画上一个等号，那么每一段爱情都会以分手作为了结。付出的，与收获的，不能相提并论。爱情里，没有所谓的一方过于主导，过于付出，而是讲求双方在多方面的平衡，以及体谅。往往斤斤计较，时不时利用陈年往事，秋后算账，必定会闹得鸡犬不宁，六国大封相... 人非草木，一方不计较付出，另一方当然也会感到欣慰，自然而然，他也会让你得到一定的收获... 相处之道，莫过于信，相信他会感到你的付出，感到你的真诚，美好的两人未来正在期待。。。
P/S:有时我在想，我们会有白头偕老的一天吗？当我俩已白发苍苍，满脸皱纹的时候，我们还会握住彼此的手一起述说当年情吗？
