the side not many will get to see

They say Geminis have 2 sides to themselves, and personally I couldn't agree more.

I wasn't around when my colleagues had dinner with some of my business partners, and naturally, the conversation topic will relate back to whoever is not present, which in this case is me! -.-

According to their observation, I am one who is full of principles when it comes to work. And they mention that I can look quite fierce sometimes (really meh???), especially when it comes to guys (okay la, quite true).

Well, after hearing what was being said, I do not refute their claims because when it comes to work, I'm all no nonsense. Come on, I can be joking around with you if I want to, but the truth is, I don't want to. If I were to do that, how do you expect people to take me seriously especially when I look younger and am younger than most people in the industry of the same ranking. Not trying to sound obnoxious, but this is the sad truth for me. Someone has got to be the 'bad' guy or else the company will be eaten alive and there is no need for policies etc etc. And being really honest right now, I don't give a damn how you perceive me, because I know you are just seeing one side of me. The side I want you to see.

The other side is reserved solely for my family and friends, my private life. The side where I can be truly who I am without having to worry about whatever shitty reputation. HAHAHA. If you ask my bestie right now, her list will go on and on and on. Gosh... I can be such a klutz sometimes... Like that one time where I tried to connect the internet line to the laptop in the office and instead of plugging out the wire from the CPU and connect it to the laptop, I plugged it out from the main internet socket and into the laptop. In other words, I connected the CPU with the laptop!! And to think I was there asking all my colleagues why the internet is not up for the laptop XD Needless to say, I became the laughing stock of everyone... especially when I did the exact same thing a few weeks later -.- Sometimes my mind just doesn't register all these simple stuff. Maybe it's sole purpose is to remember only the important stuff :D

HAHAHAHA... Recalled another incident... Just the other day while queuing up in the rain for The Script's concert in our raincoats, I saw a piece of plastic from my raincoat hoodie and immediately I just thought "Eh! The raincoat hoodie can be tightened! I need not keep pulling at my hoodie liao, yeah!" and happily told my bestie while at the same time, I gave the plastic a tight pull only to detach it from my poncho. The look on bestie's face is one of  disbelieve followed by amusement. Only then I realise the plastic is just that, a piece of excess useless plastic.... WAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Seriously, sometimes I can't stand my bimbo-ness...

Oh well, as they say, there is always two sides to a Gemini ;)

Bangkok!

I'm finally going on a holiday this year! What a vast difference this year is compared to last year. I've become domesticated. HAHA. Wonder who can do that to me... well, only that one special person... Anyways, I'm going Bangkok with my DB peeps and I'm getting excited! It was an impromptu kinda holiday as Bangkok is not in my list of to go place. I had a bad experience the last time I was there and didn't get what the hype is about. But then again, it could probably be the companion I went with and the agenda the other time. It was more work then fun. I can't wait to get on that flight and fly away... hopefully I'll come back refreshed! xoxo, Mabel

That indescribable feeling

I was pondering to myself why people say that when you love someone, you couldn't give a reason why you love him/her. If you could give a reason, it just goes to show that you love those qualities in that person, not the person. In the past, I am a firm believer of the latter. That love has no reasons. When reflecting on my own relationship, I was thinking to myself whether is it really true. That love has no reasons. The romantic side of my thinks it's true, while the pragmatic side says otherwise. Here's what I have concluded. I love that my man is dependable, easy going, good natured, positive in attitude and outlook in life, stable. Basically the rock in my life (there's no need for any other rock, seriously). But hey... Lots of men possess the qualities stated above. But none is able to capture my heart like how he did. THAT is the reason I cannot find words to explain. THAT is why I am drawn to him and not any other guys that possesses the same qualities...

Musings of the day

This morning I was going through my insta stories and saw Tony Gaskins (I love this guy) ask me a question session. It was so informative, and an eye opener to see so many people airing their relationship issues. It put a lot of things into perspective, especially seeing things from a 3rd party POV. Seeing what sort of advice all of them are seeking, the answer is already very glaring, but they are blinded by it and chose to ignore it. The same happened for me. The answer was glaring when I expressed my feelings a few months back, but I chose to hold on. Well, no more. When I finally opened my eyes and see things as what it is, I felt, free. Free from my own demons, own insecurities. And I felt ready to move on and focus on something else. What I have learnt is that true love never leaves you doubts and sadness. I have to learn to think for myself. On that note, I have decided to take a break from my DB team. Reason is very simple. It is a toxic relationship, one that limits my grow...
