Intellectual understanding is not enough

I love the burger from Dome with sweet potato fries !

I would never let a guy ruin my life!
But they sure can ruin my favorite places. For instance, I love the burger from Dome. They serve it with 2 different kinds of fries, the usual potato fries & sweet potato fries. I love the sweet potato fries- they are literally sweet & oh so delicious! If I could marry those fries I would!

Unfortunately the romance of the restaurant has been ruined ever since my last boy friend & I had the Breakup/Goodbye Talk there. I totally regretted  that, I should have protected the sweet potato fries!

So I went back to Dome with a girlfriend a week later, to reverse the transformation from the Place My Boyfriend & I Brokeup back to Dome, Place which serves Fantastic Sweet Potato Fries! Everything was going to plan, I could feel the bad vibes dissolving like ice on a hot day.

Until I heard a familiar voice behind me, & there he was "The X boyfriend". Thank God he's not with some hot girl, just his colleague. He's also a sucker for the sweet potato fries, sigh... we love the same food. Pretty Awkward encounter, didn't think I would bump into him so soon after break-up. Anyway we say a quick hi & then bye. So I assume I would not be going Dome anytime soon, .... NO wait...  I can always go to another branch. I'm longing for sweet potato fries again ....

Freaking out!

Like all young graduates, I had spent the past year being asked if I was "freaking out" for being a 'real adult' with my first job. I took pride in my blase response. What was there to freak out about? One day I'll be 50 & retired, both shamed by & envious of my dread of my first job.

Besides it's exciting to find oneself at the beginning of new things. A recap of recent happenings at work & the break-up of my 2 best friends, suddenly it occur to me, I could be freaking out a little. Maybe I need a break. But I've been working for only 6 months.

When things go wrong.

Last month was horrible. Many things went wrong.
There's the colleague who back stab me in front of my boss. Technically speaking that wouldn't be call back stabbing as she literally do it in front of everyone. Luckily many of my colleagues back me up & even my Boss step in to defend me. I feel blessed.

Anyway ten minutes after that incident, my best friendtext me, informing me of her break-up with her bf Teck. I was confused... what's happening??? They were the golden couple since our uni days. This can't be happening, they are both my super good friends! God ... what a day!

I immediately call her at lunch & she confess she has broken it off as she has fallen in love with someone from the office! WHAT ???? She's only been working like 6 months.

It's been a month now. Teck has a new girl friend & my bestie is pissed that he had gotten over her so fast. What she expect right? Teck is a wonderful guy & she dump him for someone from the office. I reminded her that, & now she's pissed at me!

Is there such a thing as a Honest feedback ???

Today my colleague sent me this message to console me.
 "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

What happened?
Someone in the office ask me for my "honest feedback" about something. Which I gave & now she's pissed. She then told my boss I'm very critical- in front of the whole office! Wow !!! my face grew instantly hot & I felt like crying. Luckily I didn't as Nick another colleague, quickly step in & reminded her that she wanted "honest " feedback.

My Boss, another one with super high EQ, defuse the situation even more. Saying it's an opinion from a very young person (meaning me). It's important, but the target group is "mature ladies" so.....  The bitch then gave me the coldest look & quickly suck up to the Boss with something really dumb!

Another nice colleague sent me this a minute ago to encourage me:))

Valentines distress

Will you love me for the rest of my life?
No, I'll love you for the rest of mine.

This famous line is from the movie Phenomenon.

Since it's Valentines, I am wishing someone would said something to that extend to me. Or at least something close to that.  My Boy friend just text me "Love you babe" & that's all. Not very romantic right?

We ended up watching Ip Man3. Goodness IP Man 3 on Valentines Day? What a downer, not that, the movie is not bad. It's pretty good. Well he hated chick flicks but I would rather watch Deadpool.
Is romance dead in our society?
Sob.... and how was your Valentines?

An update of my puppy's bad habit of eating poop!

The disgusting habit is under control.

I took my friend's advise & start walking my pup.
Now he has
no chance to eat his own poop. But the problem is not really solved right? As long as he's left with his own poop he'll eat it again :((

Anyway for now, that will have to do.
