This morning started in a hectic way. I was rushing out replies to an email which is really urgent as i had to furnish a reporter with answers to the questions so that she can get her article published in the paper in an hours time. As i was trying to meet her deadline, a senior of mine needed me to do something urgent and said that she required my help to read an article in Chinese. I asked her to send it to me and she did, but at that point, i have not received it. She called awhile later to ask if i had read the article. I said i havent, the mail just came in and i was busy replying to something very urgent, something that needs to meet the deadline of a paper at that point. I asked for 5-10 mins to settle the stuff before i start reading the article for her. She said ok. The next thing i knew, she immediately stormed out of her cubicle and asked for another colleague's help to read the article. And the colleague commented that she had a "sha ren" vibe. I have no idea what i did wrong. All i asked for was 5-10 minutes to finish up the urgent matter and i will be right over to do the urgent stuff for her. Yet, she was upset about the whole matter. I'm not complaining about anybody right now. I just dont know how i can better handle the situation. Is there any way i can do this without making anyone upset? I understand that the matter is urgent, that's why i only asked for 5-10 minutes. Yet, I seem to get on her nerves. I really dont know how i can make this better. Can someone tell me? There goes, morning ruined, rest of the day i kept thinking about the incident. And i happen to be one of the most junior ones around, so i guess i'm always inclined to being in the wrong when such things happen. I dunno anymore...what can i do? Tell me please... On a very different note, take a look at this : http://www.flickr.com/photos/93052519@N00/sets/72157602259075204/  I love all her bentos...and wish to make things like that too! They are lovely, lovely bentos :) Everytime i complain about how i still cant bring myself to make bentos, i get requests for bentos. Seems like everyone wants me to make bentos for them...haha. No offence really. But to me, bentos are made with love. And one can only bring oneself to make bentos for the ones she love, the significant other, close friends or family. I used to make bentos for someone, and i really enjoyed doing it. The process, the end product, and seeing the expression when he eats it. It's an amazing feeling...one that is quite painful when im recalling it now...as you all know what happened. I still cant bring myself to make bentos again...though seeing all those pretty boxes of inspiration really spurs me and make me wanna make bentos again. I used to love them so much, especially when there's someone who shares that love. My heart's aching at the thought of all these. Just a few moments ago, i was thinking of very different things that put me in a totally different mood. That's how easily my mood and thoughts change....so quick that i just get hit by it sometimes. Well, my point is...i can only make bentos when i feel like it. Especially when making for someone, there needs to be an element of love and care involved...at least to me. It's not a simple "just cook and eat" kinda meal...it's much more than that. For now, i'm pretty contented with just looking at the pretty boxes. Shall aim towards making bentos for myself first...hopefully soon, when i no longer wish to close the cupboard of bento boxes once i open it... |
