Some thoughts
well, i'm sitting here with some thoughts running through my head... and i'd just thought i'll post it up. quite a lot of stuff happened since the last entry but i shall not attempt to put them all down! that'd be crazy! haha
Had a smashing birthday on the 29th and 30th of July.. thanks to all who turned up! hope everyone had a great time! I havent posted the photos up... heh.. Kelly's a lazy girl, who likes to procrastinate when she's not watched/bugged... haha.. pretty memorable, had LOTSA FUN! Think the 8 of us who stayed over had lotsa laughter... Benja and his antics! hahahaha... Okay, and maybe putting the dustbin in the house was a bad idea afterall.... heh... hahahahahaha!
anywho, my PA results came out and I was pretty upset that I didn't manage to get into PWC. *Sob* Nonetheless, I'm trying for it again! This time round, I'm praying really hard! So eventually, I'm posted to OCBC for my PA. HAPPY!! Not too bad, considering it was my first choice but I didn't manage to get into the department I want. Well, I know I should be really thankful but suddenly I'm thinking I'll be lacking audit experience in future. Oh well, but it's okay, at least it's a respectable bank and i'll still be getting accounting experience since i'm gonna help in year-end reporting! and there are a lot of people, i know, being attached to the same place! maybe the pay is good too! =)
Going through turbulent times... been thinking a lot. Lots of general questions to ponder over. Do people still believe in tokens of appreciation in this modern day? Does it mean that if you are part of a couple, every good thing that you do would be expected of you by the other party? Is a general sense of gratitude enough to let the other person feel appreciated? Even if you are not expecting anything in return for a good deed that you've done, does it mean that the other party doesn't have to do anything about it? Would you expect favours from your other half, without planning to reciprocate? Would you think that you don't have to do anything in return for a favour your partner has done for you, just because you think that you'll be returning the favour in other ways sooner or later?
Personally, I've been brought up to think that no matter what the case is, so long as someone has done you a favour, you SHOULD reciprocate. This is regardless of whether you'll be returning the favour somehow, some time later. I feel that this is even more so when you are in a relationship. The other party should not be expecting things from you even though you peeps are close and there shouldn't be any boundaries etc. I still think that certain forms of courtesy should be showed (e.g. a simple thank you note etc) no matter what. And by saying that, "we are in a relationship, such things should be expected. I'm grateful but there is no need to reciprocate now coz I'll also be doing you favours in future.", I think that is the BIGGEST fallacy. If you ask me, I think that's nonsense.
I leave you to think about it.
