I used to get somewhat upset when XX is grouchy and unapproachable; cos I for some weird reason held myself partly responsible for someone else's bad day... I think I'm beginning to get out of such nonsensical reasoning... in fact, felt slightly annoyed today when XX let her bad mood get in the way when we tried to ask her something. Sure, perhaps we disturbed her while she was trying to concentrate on something impt, but felt that it was slightly uncalled for and not too professional. But fine, I can accept it that ppl have bad days. It's a Mon after all, and I was also having problems keeping my eyes open the whole day...

I am trying to live by a new 'motto' - to never let anyone look down on me. I might not be very smart, worldly, successful & whatever, but the most impt thing is to try to live with integrity and kindness, be comfy and love myself for what I am and learn to count all my blessings... heh. Of course, this business about accepting yourself is just a general guideline, not an excuse to allow myself to do whatever... like eating 10 frozen yogurts a day. A person who eats 10 frozen yogurts a day can't be me...

I must be fated to buy Eat, Pray, Love lah. Due to the movie release in Sg, the Penguin version with Julia Roberts on the cover was going at $12 at Somerset 313 Harris! And so I got it. It even came with a 14-day True Yoga pass... which I'm so not going to use, but shall offer it to colleague so as not to waste it :P

Also did a couple of 'new' things this weekend, such as turning up at someone's welcome dinner party and volunteering. I've been wanting to volunteer for the longest time, but I never got down to doing it. Decided to act on this "whim" today and spent a couple of hours this afternoon at someone's cavernous basement trying to sort out donated kids' books for sending over to kids over in Thailand - to stock up a library that recently burnt down (books included)...! I was quite tempted to read some of the books I picked up... but didn't really in the end. I found a Moomin book and a cute monster book, and even one that taught kids how to draw diff kinds of cartoon dinosaurs..!

Really not looking forward to work tmr, but well, all good things have to come to an end. Till the next weekend...
