While I thought I had nothing to write about for "second installment", Jack reminded me that he had tagged me in his blog, what a relief, no more thinking required......
However the topic is very challenging (same goes for asking for directions and admit I could be wrong and attempt to clean and tidy my room for more than once a decade), but here it goes my list of things I'm proud of:
1) My
brain
Although seems like I'm shamelessly copying Jack here, but truth is, my intelligence is something that I RARELY bitch about. (I pretty much bitch about everything else). I'm able to learn quite quickly, normally with very few explanations. Since I started working and by comparison to many people I dealt with, my analytical and problem solving skills helped me a lot, and I was able to improve them too. (and also realised that many people are seriously lacking them) I'm able to help others both in life and at work with their problems, which I'm proud of too.
2) My cooking skill
I was exposed to home cooking since a VERY early age, and I can vaguely remember my first time cooking would have been before I was 10 years old, making scrambled eggs. My grandma was a good cook, and I used to "help" her by carrying her bags while she shopped for vegetables and groceries, and hang around the kitchen while she prepare and cook, and I guess that has influenced me a lot. Another reason being I LOVE food, wanting to try new, different ones, and everytime I taste something good, I will attempt to make it at home, if I succeed, I'd add it to my repertoire and possibly show off to my friends; if not, I'll secretly discard and remove all evidence of attempts. From all these years of practice, my cooking has been applauded by most of my friends, had friends over the other day, they actually took the leftovers home!
3) My wicked sense of humor
I think I need to rebute myself on this one a bit, because I actually don't think my sense of humor is that great. However I am able to make people laugh in a very twisted weird way lol. Guess again might have a lot to do with my work, which I always try to have a bit of fun on the phone, (not THOSE kind, altho I was sort of waiting for it to happen lol) just bitch and making fun of things happened or slip in random comments that's totally not related to the current discussion at all. I think that's how I survive my work anyway......
4) My parents
Sound like a cliche, but I am truly proud of my parents. Apart from brought the brilliant me into the world (ROFLMAO), they are seriously outstanding people. Mom was one of the most understanding and tolerating person I've known, always think from other's perspective and put herself last, willing to help and give, understanding. As before we move here, back home we lived in apartment complexes built by huge production plants funded by the government, where everyone worked in the same plant, then their children and grandchildren etc, you can imagine the level and type of gossip going on, she was known for the kind person she was, and during the 15 years or so I grew up there, never gossipped about anyone in front of me, and for as long as I could remember, never had a fight with her mother in law, my grandma. Dad's very straightforward person, sometimes could be a bit short fused, but he is a very good provider, almost working all year round, providing for the family, NEVER spent anything beyond necessities for himself. His famous motto is "Might as well at it (hardworking to make money) while I physically can, for we could be more comfortable while we cannot work"
Wheee, another entry, doing good!
I'm preparing for my next round of bitching, stay tuned
