- Situations which require more tact... -
do u noe wad it means to me when ppl reply dis to me when i try to organise something lets say 2 months away? "hey its too early now ba. get back to u again k!"
translated: "erm as for now ive nothing planned for the date but becoz its so far away i mite have something on MORE IMPT den u so ill get back to u when theres none!"
my solution: wad i do personally is if some1 asks me out for something i put it as 1st priority liao coz they asked me 1st! fyi i do reject family dinners to go out becoz u can always have family dinners the next week wad. oso if u noe ur havin something on dat day dun go plan other stuff which may overlap in the end not goin for the later gathering or in other words pang seh-ing the later group of ppl u meeting v bad. not dat i sayin ur not a fren but i tink its a phrasing problem in my opinion and impression i get.
how about when u go out with a group of ppl den when u start to decide wad to eat for lunch or dinner and u hear dis: "anything ba". den when u suggest something suddenly "anything" becomes...
translated: "im fine with anything except A, B, C, D, E, F and probably G, H, I and J as well. i can eat K on weekends but..." (if i dun stop u will see the alphabet i swear...)
my solution: how about when u reply "anything" to some1(aka the organiser) it better be anything if not u suggest and dun play mind games with ppl. we say anything so dat any1 who has any cravings can be satisfied and since the rest have no particular preference(becoz u said anything), every1 will be happy!
well i could go on rambling on and on about other situations but it all boils down to how ppl communicate with each other ba. sometimes we say things dat arent meant in dat way but have no clue dat it was received by the other party which could be quite offending at times. personally i do it sometimes too and probably should apologise to every1 here. gomenasai!
so wad have u been up to lately? well for me Journey To The West Episode I: The Training Menace which was few months back was quite ok as i only had to go there for several days. it wasnt exactly tiring but juz long hours due to our schedule however...
*cue star wars theme song* Journey To The West Episode II: Attack Of The Exercises has come back to haunt our souls i swear. dis time its back longer and better with a month long of full-on operations with exercises and other stuff dat can suck u dry literally(water is scarce) and with an obvious pun there. if u were lookin for a great experience dis would probably top the list for length and excitement. graphics wise its so realistic it was almost like u were in the movie and the sound is juz deafening! stay tuned towards the end of 2010 and Episode III will be ready for preview on a noticeboard near u.
ok away with the stuff dat most of u can hardly understand. its a new yr and hey if ur like the few of us who still have dat holiday mood arnd den... lets carry it over to feb LOL. not bad the feeling actually treating weekends as holidays. i used to treat weekends as well... weekends. to me weekends are juz short breaks from all the work in the weekdays. but holidays are long breaks where u can do alot of stuff and absolutely chill without tinkin about wads gonna happen in the coming week. dis way not only do u feel like u gonna ORD faster but u get more stuff done too! well if u understand wad i mean in some sense.
so wad kinda movies have u been up to lately?
