Show Off vs Get Praised

I overheard an interested short clips bout the corporate world from Radio this morning. I thought it's quite useful for us, the employee range. There are differences between getting praised and showing off. Though both gives you the perfect reason to smile all day long bout your own achievements. Have a thoughts on these situations:
  1. Miss A has just got promoted, she was too excited and yell "YES" just as she got out from the manager's room. All her colleagues alerted and asked what's up. Then she started exclaiming, "I've got the promotion! yea! yea! lunch is on me ya, everybody!!" Eventually Miss A's colleagues will still go to the free lunch session, some unwillingly cause the whole event will be a one-to-many session of boasting from Miss A. "Ya know, I've be dead busy from now on, you guys better help me out!" She comes home, shout the promotion news out to all her friends and family awaiting appraisal. Yes, Miss A got the appraisal, but at the end of the day, exactly who really DID celebrated her promotion? Herself perhaps her proud parents? She left everyone dissatisfied and jealous, which will bring much much difficulties in her later jobs which needs her colleague's help.
  2. Miss B has just got promoted, she came out of the manager's room quietly. Went back to her seat and continued working. Moments later her manager got out and announced her promotion to everyone and people all applauded for her success. Seniors, juniors came to her for a word of congratulation. She humbly thanked them and said, "Thanks to your support" Everyone would like to get along with successful person, especially she going all low and being able to blend into the crowds. No one will be exceptional jealous of her, everyone will acknowledge her humbleness and creditability. She later gets full support from her colleagues in her career path.
Which situation do you prefer? It's easy to get into situation no.1 as we're all human beings. We can't expect others to understood that we want a praising and go boast bout ourselves. The boasting behaviour will drive your friends and even family away. Nobody will like to belittled by you. If we take a closer look around you, people who are humble often gets more attention. Humbleness is a strong weapon. Remember Taichi?

W.O.T.P SPA Signing

*Taking a break from writing bout the wedding, since we have not received the photos yet* We have secured the purchase of W.O.T.P few months ago and we were too busy to settle for the Sales and Purchase Agreement signing. Finally on the 22nd of Jan, we made appointment with the lawyer to have the signing exercise at Wilson's office. Why 22nd of Jan? We did consult wofs.com's almanac to select the auspicious day for contract signing, and thus, 22nd of Jan. We were greeted with 2 big stacks of SPA papers and the lawyer slowly explain to us what were we signing on each documents. The lawyer is a little blur in her explanation but nevertheless she did tell us what's essential. Well..well.. even though it's not our first time signing SPA, but it's still necessary to know what we're signing. Since the legal fees are all bear by the developer, that includes the loan agreement legal fees as well, so we simply signed both the agreements together with the devel...

Pregnancy Updates: Half way there!

I'm 20 weeks pregnant now! It's a halfway milestone and it has been really smooth *touch wood* so far since the beginning of 2nd trimester. The vomiting and nausea seems to be gone overnight as I moved into Week 14. The very day my iPhone app congratulate me on my milestone, I felt a gush of energy rushing back to my body. And, for the first time in 3 months I felt... hungry! It was such a great feeling, I got ready to work and before heading out, I put up joss sticks to thank god for this miracle. And I kept my fingers, toes and everything crossed this feeling last. I bet my baby is a very punctual baby, just like the daddy. So with the deadly morning sickness gone, I am feeling myself again and started to enjoy the pregnancy much. My rhintis seems to get better after hubby installed the air purifier in our room and I get good sleeps every night with clear nostrils. My bump is showing and everyone is quite surprised to see a bump at just beginning of 3rd month. I research...

Bali Trip Day 2

We woke up the next morning, feeling all fresh with the gentle cooling breeze and chirping of the birds outside the chalet. As we opened the door, we were thrilled by the tropical Bali feelings round the chalet area. These scenes were so familiar, in the movies, magazines, novels, commercials, cafes, clubs etc.. the "Bali" style; now we're experiencing it in person. - Abangan Bungalow - - Our chalet a.k.a villa - - The walkway in the hotel - - Other types of villa - We ordered our breakfast, scrambled eggs, toasts, fruits and coffee. It was a real relaxation having breakfast at the chalet balcony, looking at the greens. I love this feelings, away from hassle, away from workloads, away from problems. Ah, so divine. :) - Relaxing on the couch, outside the villa, after breakfast - After breakfast we took a stroll down at the Ubud streets. First I saw the signature Bali gate, I was thrilled! "Take photo! Take photo!" I shouted.. So, I posed and took photo. Then, I p...
