Random Thoughts about.......

The Airport
There is someting about the airport that attracts me. It is a cold, clean place. The moment you step past the sliding door of the entrance, it is a sharp contrast to the bustlings of the busy city of Singapore. And you see people from all over the world walking around in their garbs...the fashion in their country :) A place where people from all walks of life "gather". To me, an airport is like a big gate to a country.

Good Bosses
What are the characteristics of a good boss? Leadership, charismatic, good management skills, high EQ, sincere, guiding, visonary, understanding and the list goes on. Unfortunately, people who has most of the above characteristics do not fill up all the management posts available. (perhaps due to scarcity of such people) Sometimes, people who are "workers" types..the type who could get their scope of work done occupy that management post. They can also get the work done, but no strong support from their staff...because they are a "yes-person" to management. But that does not make them "bad" people...just bad managers. I believe that at the end of the day, no matter what type of bosses you get, you just have to work around that boss and fit in to get things done. Of cos if the boss is abusive, then slap him/her and leave. (Like a formal boss..who was abusive to all his stuff in China by scolding them stupid like pigs..and most people left his company due to his lack of respect)

"Complain Kings and Queens"
Complaining and lamenting about how stressed out one is, how bogged down by crap one is bla bla bla and it's all because of XXX's fault. Well, it surely is easier to blame others for one's own inadequacies ya ;)
So..we just have to be patient and be a good listening ear :)

Valentine's day
A day where food & flowers are over priced and expressions of love are overstated.

Mind F. conversations
Are conversations that inspire one to think deep about life issues and it is addictive.

Smile
It has got to be genuine.

Happiness
Seems elusive only if we do not appreciate the good side of everything. Learn the art of contentment without shortchanging oneself from growing...be it intellectually or emotionally.

Homo Sapiens
Are complex beings because we have senses, temperaments...and insecurities.

The Leap Years
A movie i am going to watch with Rubes hahaha
