I recently just learnt something new: How to tell if someone is gay? Actually the answer is very simple, but yet many will say its unfair and stereotyping. When i say gay, i don't just refer to men only, but women as well. How we tell if someone is gay is simply through judgement. Yes, we judge them based on their appearance, their manner of speech, their every action, or even circle of friends that they hang out with. Is this fair? No. Then why do we do it? Why do we have suspicion about a guy who shaves his legs, eats too politely and speaks softly like a girl and say that he is gay? This can be explained through a cheetah and leopard scenario.
Gays are like leopards and cheetahs. From far you see them with spots on their skin and moves swiftly waiting to pounce on its prey. From this distance, you can not tell if it is a cheetah or a leopard. But do you go near it and poke it or brush its fur to tell which is it? Of course not right! From this distance you make your judgement - Hmm, the spots are more circular in shape, and the distance is closer as compared to the other animal. That should be a cheetah and not a leopard. This judgement may not be accurate all the time, but it does help in differentiating between the two. So sad to say, we as humans tend to judge people based on how we perceive them to be. It's not wrong, its just our way of doing things.
If I had to choose, i'd rather judge someone from a distance than to go near him and poke him by saying "Hey are you gay?"

How come no matter where I go people say i look like a girl? Even now in my new workplace my friends tell me I look good in a skirt -.-! And another auntie didn't believe that i'm 22. She said i look more like i'm only 19 or 18. I told her the trick is to stay happy everyday, have no stress, no fear, no anger. A steady mind keeps your face looking young! Better than going for facial..

What do we look out for during work everyday? What are the things that help carry us through our work everyday so that work seems like a breeze even if we exert strength, sweat it all out and skip meals? Today Marlina is in a good mood (Marlina is one of my shift leaders at Treetops) And because she is in a good mood, work is like a breeze today. When it is time for meals, without delay she sent me to take my dinner. Then Mrs Dowling gave us pizza and some other good food and Marlina allowed me to eat behind the counter. Also, there weren't much arrivals and departures today.
What more can I ask for man seriously? Work is so smooth sailing today, no problems, no cork ups, nobody giving us any troubles.
If only work is like this everyday I would definitely look forward to it. IF ONLY.

Today I just watched a DVD called Julia and Julie and it made me want to learn how to cook. Like proper professional cooking with the proper use of ingredients and not Tze Char style. And also i've drawn up some short term goals that I have to force myself to meet.
1. Quickly finish my internship without much hassle and trouble. 2. Find a job ASAP if I'm not going to continue at Treetops, I certainly do not want to slack at home doing nothing while waiting to go for NS. 3. Buy a cook book and learn how to cook 10 mouth watering dishes. They should be main courses and not appetizers or desserts. 4. Save, SAve, SAVe, SAVE up more money and plant everything I have in my Prudential investment plan. 5. Ultimately, I aim to migrate to either NZ or Aus by the age of 35.
All these isn't as difficult as it sounds as long as I put my heart to it, I believe.
