Anger Issues

As i commenced my second day working, I encountered a rather hot-tempered and not understanding customer. I realize that you can never run away from negative people. Be it work or your personally life with friends and loved ones. 

As I finished entertaining this particular customer. I received a call from one of my bank regarding my credit card application. So I had to provide fresh, recent documents which made me quite upset as I had requested the card since 2 months ago but they took the liberty of processing it slow and late. 

I was rather ticked off and infuriated with the reason that they gave me. At that moment I thought to my self, I could either be:

a) An exceptionally difficult customer towards them and argue with them 

OR

b) A cooperative customer and provide them with documents as per request 

I usually don't go for option (A) as I'm genuinely a nice, empathetic and understanding person. However, because of the unfortunate situation that I encountered earlier, I was heading more towards the option (A) side. 

Fortunately for me, I still had a bit of Ee Wen left in me. So I calmed down, took a deep breath, and told them I would provide them. But I also did mention that I had applied way earlier and it wasn't my fault. 

What I'm trying to say is that don't let negativity bring you down. Surround yourself with people and I definitely have my colleagues, lover and family to do that for me whenever I have a bad day.

Happy New Year Short Quotes

As we all embarked on a new year, some of us may have new resolutions in mind. Some may want to continue previous resolutions and some may not even believe in resolutions.

I believe in resolutions, but I also believe that we shouldn't forget old ones. If you have achieved your goal in keeping fit in 2015, continue that habit and make it habitual. I'm more of a life goal person, so usually I would remember my achievements and bring it forward to practice and enhance it further. 

One of my life goal starting this year is to write a book. It doesn't need to be famous and receive publishing, but I want to write it to train my creativity brain and practice on my writing skills. 

So one method in achieving this is to definitely write and update my blog frequently. Which I am trying my best effort in doing so. It won't be easy but I do love challenges once in a while.

Hello from the Other Sideeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Greetings readers, some of you may have know that my absence was due to the fact that I had gone to Australia for roughly 3 weeks. 

My trip was amazing, though I would suggest tourists to not go around December month as it is relatively quiet due to Christmas and New Year's Holiday. Also, keep in mind that although it said to be summer in December, they lie!!! It was only oven baked temperature the first day I touched down, but other than that it was between 16-20 degrees. 

Besides stuffing ourselves with food -my boyfriend is an expert in doing so- we traveled out of Melbourne CBD to Yarra Valley. It was such an amazing experience but do keep in mind to booked for the winery restaurants as it gets packed pretty quickly and you'll find yourself being rejected from having lunch over there. 

Two restaurants that I must mentioned in Yarra Valley is definitely Hargreaves Hill, Yarra Glen and Meletos, Coldstream. Kelvin and I both agreed that these two places are a definite must try when you are visiting Yarra Valley with your own transport. Also if you are a fan of sparkling shiraz, we bought ours from Blagownie Estate. The accommodation in Balgownie was also divine and exquisite.  
To sum up my trip, I had a tremendous trip over there celebrating my boyfriend's birthday at Rock Pool, Christmas gift exchange, watching New Year fireworks and celebrating our monthsary at Yarra Valley. Not to forget the amazing coffee in Melbourne is to die for. 

The boy surprised me with flowers when I touched down ^_^


I love it when he always helps me take picture and never complains <3

We being silly and nerdy

To my love, thank you so much and hello from the other side :3
