First Impressions June 27, 2009
Posted by jessieloi in introspection.11 comments
First impressions.
Everytime we meet someone new, for that few seconds, we develop our own impression, our own personal opinion of that person. In that few seconds, we judge.
People always have wrong first impressions of me. So I told myself to never ever judge other people especially people who I just met.
I tell people that I don’t usually have ‘first impressions’ of other people. That is, however, a lie. Everyone always have those ‘first impressions’. It’s human nature. I’ve learned though, to not take all these ‘first impressions’ seriously. I always get first impressions wrong, so shrug off my judgement until I get to know that person.
I get annoyed sometimes, with people who truly believes in their first impression of another. I’ve met people who get a shock of their lives when they find out I am not like how they thought I was.
Maybe it’s not their fault. Maybe the way I bring myself always sends out the wrong message. Maybe, without realising it, I do act all pompous and what not. Maybe I should do a little review of myself.
Then again, why should I? Nah, I’ve learned to not care. I know who and how I am. My friends know that too.
I have again and again proven to other people that I am not a spoilt brat or a ‘naughty’ girl (what is their definition of ‘naughty’ I do not know) or a player (by player I mean toying with other guys). So, I’ve learned to not take people’s opinions of me (especially those who just know me) too seriously.
It works both ways. When people tell me what they think of me the first time they met me, I don’t take it too seriously. At the same time, whatever first impression I have on someone else, I never hold on to it. My first impressions are always wrong. Every single time.
Today, I have been proven wrong again. I have never felt happier to be wrong =)

I am such a bad blogger.
I have not been updating.
I promised photos from MIRACLE Youth Conference but they are not up yet. In fact, I have not even finished filtering the photos. =(
I have been busy and pretty occupied.
After MYC, I went of to UKM for another conference – NATCON (Like I mentioned before) From that conference alone, I have 14GB of pictures and videos to sort through 0_O
A few days after I was back from NATCON, I had deadlines to meet. Planning for AIESEC in USM’s next term! [I am excited!]
This week, on Tuesday I flew to Singapore with LittleSis Loi cause BigSis Loi invited us =)
From Singapore alone, I have around 700 photos to sort through.
I just got back from Singapore late last night (like midnight) and stayed up till 3am checking through e-mails and Facebook (ok I am OCD when it comes to checking my inbox and I’m a FB addict).
Then this morning, someone woke me up and in 30 minutes I was out of the house.
Just got back an hour ago, and I am going out again in 20 minutes.
Yes, my parents are going to murder me soon. Right now they can’t cause I am barely home.
Phew.
Right, time to get ready for my yumcha session.
Will update like, reeeeeally sooooon I promise!

In A Week June 7, 2009

We had mutual understanding. We shared common feelings.
Every day and night, we had meetings together. We understood what being tired mean and what it feels like to stay up all night.
We argued yet we understood that we argued for a common ground – to make MYC a better conference.
We understood what is was like to be under stress, to not be able to sleep because of work.
Bonds were created as we spent time together, joked with each other, danced and went crazy together, laughed and even cried together.
On the first day, when I arrived at UPM I had doubts. I had no idea how am I going to work with a group of people I have never met before. I had no idea whether I would be of any help. I had no idea if this group of strangers will even approve of me. I didn’t know what to say to or do when meeting all these people, what more work with them.
Yet, we did and I think we did an amazing job too.
By the end of the week, we were laughing at each others’ ridiculous antics and making fun of each other. By the end of the week, we are already talking about visiting each other and predicting who would marry first and insisting that we get invited to the wedding.
A week. A week was all it took to form that connection between people who might never had even crossed roads. Nevertheless, the connection or the bond was strengthen by the difference that we all have.
It was our different personalities, our different ideas and attitude, our different levels of loudness, craziness or even dancing abilities was what sealed that bond we formed.
Our difference was what made our friendships possible.
I wrote to Michelle on the back of a photo I gave her, “Meeting you was one of the best things that happened in MYC” and that rings true for all of you.
Meeting you guys are the best thing that happened in MYC. It was you guys that made me enjoy MYC this much. It was you guys that mattered.
My dear fellow facilitators, thank you. Thank you for making this such an amazing experience. Thanks for making being there when stress hits or what I’m overwhelmed with emotions. Thanks for never failing to make me laugh so hard that my tummy always aches. Thank you for just being you.
As our common understanding formed a bond between us, our difference sealed it. And so with this sealed bond that connects each one of us in the team, let us let our friendship grow even more and let it bring us closer.
I believe that we will meet again one day. I might know when or where but I know we will.
Thank you again. I love you guys!

Okay, I have over 15gb of pictures needed to be sorted out. So pictures will be up a little later!

Mosquitoes June 1, 2009

I shouldn’t be blogging, but I am very distracted. I cannot concentrate.
In 9 hours, the MIRACLE Youth Conference where I am facilitating is gonna officially start. After that time will swooosh by extremely fast.
The reason why I am awake is because I am worried mosquitoes will bother me again.
Last night, I slept at 7am and woke up at 9am. The reason? Damn mosquitoes were biting me ALL OVER! But today, I bought mosquito spray and sprayed my room! HAHAHA DIE YOU DAMN MOSQUITOES!
Pray that I can sleep tonight. Sigh. Otherwise I probably can’t make it through these 5 days.
Okay! Gotta get back to work!
