Rediscover, unlearn and relearn...?

The Problem:
Recently I noticed that I have another personal problem. On many occasions, I don't know how I should react or use too much to think about how I should respond.

How did I notice this? I realized this when I started moving to PJ and working in KL. The sudden change in dynamic (increase in social interaction and getting to know new friends) kinda throw me off a little due to my lack of social interaction for the past 6 months.

In the Past:
Back then, when I was in university, this wasn't a big issue. Maybe because I'm used to constantly interacting with people due to being active in clubs and societies.

The assumption:
Now that I think about it. The first assumption that comes to mind is my transition to a new role/job. Before I started working as a front-end web developer. I was working as a mechanical engineer. My day-to-day work involves interacting with clients, contractors, and suppliers. So, having to interact with new parties was very common.

However, when I started working as a front-end web developer, the amount of interaction/communication required was at least cut by half compared to my previous job. Most of the time, I only need to interact with my colleagues. Plus, I was going thru a work-from-home mode in Melaka.

What should I do?

  • stop spacing out
    • I realize my mind tends to space out when the surrounding noises are too loud for me to focus on/find it hard to talk about topics that I'm not familiar with.
  • take my time to get to know everyone
    • I find this one of the hardest things to do. Mainly because I want to grow closer with them as fast as possible. I want to have more conversations with groups/individuals. But then again, I'm constantly reminded that everyone is a working adult. Everyone has their own schedule, social circle, activities, etc. And I shouldn't be trying to force my way in/attempting to "speed it up". Patience is the key I guess.
  • learn to remember the details:
    • remembering who they are, what they like, their background, preferences, what they are going thru, their schedules, etc.
  • expand my interest...?
    • To be honest, I'm not sure whether this is a doable method. Even if it is, I have no idea how/where to start. I can only pray to God that He would somehow guide me in approaching this method.

A Tale of an Emotional Kid - Part 1

Let me tell you a tale of an emotional kid. Let's name him Z. Z started off as a happy kid. When he was little, he doesn't need to worry about anything. He doesn't know what is the meaning of worry either. Everything was great until when some sad incident happen in school when he was 12.     When he was 12, he got transferred to a different class because of slightly better grades. Things did not go well. Many of his classmates doesn't like him. He was really bad at some subjects and sometimes he does not pass up his homework. Moreover, those classmates does not want him to be in their group especially when it comes to internal class competition on certain subjects because he has bad grade for it.      That time Z does not really understand the situation in same time did not know what is sadness is or feels like but deep down he know he has this disturbing feeling in him that he could not understand. Besides that, Z doesn't understand why his classmates...

Past review

Hmm....haven't being emo for quite a while now..It seems I have accept and let go of the past even though sometimes I might think about it but it doesn't effect me anymore, not like last time. If you want to know how I did it. I would say is with the help of my friends and also the might one. To the let go of the past, live with the present and hoping for the future to come. I have a one friend who always think that I'm emo when I said something else. Well, maybe is because I used to emo-ing a lot. But now I don't which is a good thing. There was once we talk about friendship. The moment when I said friendship last forever, he started laughing. He think that I was naive. To him, friends come and goes but never stay. He said is the job of a wife instead of friends. He said " When people grow up we leave and friends can be separated. When we meet is great joy but if you mean together as in together forever than I think that won't happen. That's the job o...
