I'm so glad that I'm able to honour my word for reaching office early today. I reached at 8.20 am, to help out with training set up. Well, everything was okay until 9 am. Can you imagine a not-so-good thing happening early in the morning? Since then, I just find everything went out of tangent. Really out of tangent; really sighing moments. It's a long story... All about the food arrangements. Not my responsibility but every time when such thing happens that relates to my team, I am always the "sand bag" for X to vent frustration on. Trying to be a middle person, between my boss and her. I thank God for the incredible tolerance capacity that He has given me; every time this happens, I just listen and try to empathise. If not, I think I'd cry! I have really tried giving grace to X, and try to bless her as much as I could by lending her a helping hand even if the task is not part of my key result areas. Having said that, I'm still a human with feelings and emotions. And there is a limit. "Do unto people what you want people to do unto you". If this phrase is to apply, there will be unforgiveness and grudges everywhere anytime. And I will definitely be angry with her and try to avoid her as far as possible!

I thank God for giving me a peace of mind in the toilet. James 1:19 came to my mind: "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires". Toilet or pantry seem to be favourite places I go about to cool down, while I let off everything to Him. Well, I learnt something too from this not-so-good incident. Not on a sour term with X; I guess I know how to manage her after working with her for 1.5 year. I learnt about letting down my pride. I went to find out how she was, which I won't do in the past as that means courting trouble aka zao si. There is a learning to everything that happens (good and bad) - to strengthen and mould you into a stronger person. I'm glad today is coming to an end. Not going to worry as I believe tomorrow will be a better day. :) Also a day full of meetings. Guess time will pass very quickly.
