330. A Day of Meeting
I had a full day of Meeting/Training. It's a group of company executives having monthly meetings to discuss work related problems. I'd expect it to be a serious professional meeting. What I found is that it's more like a support group. It's more personal than professional. Of course they have a proper agenda and proper topics to discuss. What took me by surprise is their openess to each other about personal matters. The last time I was in such a setting was probably in church and I was playing the role of mediator or facilitator.
This made me realised that I have 2 personalities. A split personality if you will. One can be strong and offer support to people, and the other on the opposite polar of that and both these characters live in one shell. Hmmmmm, I guess to some extent, everyone is vulnerable. But the problem with me is I think the "real" me is not the strong supportive one. Now the question is, what will I do about this........stay tuned ;)
OK, back to the meeting, they actually discuss very personal topics. After a full day of meeting of such nature, I can only say that I realised that my problems are really petty compared to others. I like the honesty available in this group. Guess I'll be back for more. :)
Got home after the meeting and logged on. Spent the rest of the evening catching up on the missed work for today.
Had curry the whole day. Started with Nasi Lemak for breakfast, then Kayu Nasi Kandar for lunch and to my horror, when I got home, mom cooked a pot of fish curry! My stomach paid the price, 5 visits to the toilet :P what a day.
For "fun", I'll try to go to sleep by 12 Midnite everyday. I felt more refreshed today. Don't know if it's because of my sleep or the topics discussed. Well, we'll see. I think this is one goal that i'll fail miserably. No harm trying though :D

My Random Thots:
My mind wandered while working. I was drawn to the topic of, "if I can relive my life, would there be things I'd do differently."
I used to answer that without hesitation that I WON'T. But on second thought, I reckon I would. There are things in my life that I felt I handled way, way, way, below par. Those, I'd like to correct if opportunities present itself :P but we all know that Marty McFly, Doc Brown & their 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 are just fiction. So my only alternative is to learn from such mistakes and be a better person. :)
