Today we celebrated Evie's birthday! She is... 29 today!! Muahaha! Well, I need not be too smirk because mine is coming up soon too! :) I don't feel too sad about it, not at all that concerned as I feel that, age is after all, a number. I don't think my personality and character changed as much as I thought it would through the years.
Yes I have probably grown wiser, the threshold of certain things that I would not have imagined myself to do in the past - I do them now. I've increased confidence in work, the way I present myself to others and empathize with people. I've gotten loose and not as rigid. The rein are not as tight and flexibility has taken over.
When I am not at work, also read as when I am not in class, screaming at my students, I realized I am pretty analytical, quite quiet and I always tries to listen (yes real listening is very tough, but I always try). Even though mu colleagues may only see me as quick tempered noisy crazy dance a lot madly Jill, I know in some parts of me, I have the ability to help some people. Perhaps not as much as help, to give solutions, but to lend a listening ear and be with the person to hold his or her hand in times of need.
I remembered a personality test I did when I was in school. I am a counsellor and a caregiver - kinda character. Is it really true? In the past I could never see myself as... Caring enough for people, perhaps only my family and close friends. However now that I am working in a school, I can see this caregiving and counseling role shining through. I know I am quite crazy at times but yes okay, I aim to tone down and be more mainstream. I cannot get too out of hand and out of control. :)
Having said all these, I wanna wish one of my closest friend, Evie Goh, happy 29th birthday :) may all things great and positive fall in your life and every aspect will be smooth flowing and be in place with God's love and grace. Thank you for being such a great friend all these years! :)
Tata! Castle time!
