tonite, i think im gonna talk abt graciousness.

to me, Graciousness is a very important value. well, wad is being gracious? i think it is being accomodating, n not gei-gaoing every cent, every lil tiny thing which involves abit of disadvantage on self.

im talkin abt it becoz ive come across sum really gei-gao ppl n i haf to say sum part of me feel sad for them. coz they seem to be constantly worrying abt being taken advantage of. life is pretty sad like tt.

i think life shld be lived in love. Like how i believe in karma, sumtimes, being taken advantage of is a good thing. Look at it this way, mayb u are indeed more fortunate that the other fella. n really, being gracious makes one a more lovable and likeable person.

i realised that some of the people ive come to love dearly tend to be people like that, Gracious.
ppl like my mummy, ppl like ram, ppl like fi n yada yada....

u might be wondering how come i m blogging all these stuff suddenly. of coz, its been triggered by sumthing la.

one of my bosses.

i volunteered to go back into e place today to help prep for sum workshop.. n becoz i din know there was so much work, i ran a lil late for an afternoon work assignment. in the midst of my haste, i cut sum stuff wrongly. like wrong dimensions. i went to my boss n told her i'll pay for it. n i intended to pay for it full well. n she din say anything abt it.

well.to me, i was a lil bit taken aback becoz i felt it wasnt a very gracious situation. Yes, it was my carelessness that led to that silly cutting error. but i think the least she cud do was to offer me a discounted rate for e papers i cut wrongly. yes, given they were only paper, but the shop was selling em sumthing like 2bugs per sheet. i think it wud haf been a more win-win situation if she reacted differently. i mean, e cost price of e papers were obviously way under e retail price. n honestly, i dare say i slog my ass off whenever i work there to sell the workshops or wadeva.

wad she did today was really quite hmmz. ungracious.

oh well. i only haf to say, ceci learns more abt life,abt ppl, n honestly, these acts make me wanna be a betta person n neva do things like tt..

so yea. at e end of it, for a meagre sum of money, like 6plus bugs, i learnt a lesson.

well, n i m also buay song coz they pay me meagre like 5 an hr. n those stupid papers costed more than an hr of my pay. grr.

i walked away thinking to myself, "next time ceci, kiang diu hou, mai gei kiang"> translated it means, smart can already, next time dun act smart or dun volunteer to help when they need ppl.
