a very interesting workshop yesterday

Thankful for being employed and able to benefit from the training provided.

These were learnt yesterday:

"pace & lead", empathy, re-definition of others' behaviour, awareness and avoidance of triggering, physical "get-off".

Talked to Min. She is stressful about school works and exams. I hope this is the natural mood swings and she can settle down with greater confidence later.

Anxieties can be positive if she is alert and and gathers all her efforts to focus so to achieve. Otherwise, her pride is hurt and she keeps feeling withdrawn.

Praying for the best development of this darling fair lady. 2 young people are seriously thinking of working in Taiwan. Me? Must maintain good health & peace of mind. Struggling alone in Kowloon.

Lunch with several retirees these 2 days. All seem well. Nice to have connections with them.

Both Van & I went home unusually early - around 7:30 pm.

Talked to Pam and asked for her assistance to comfort Min. She will talk to Presland tonight. In fact, all 3 of us have problems of our own. Who hasn't?

Min SMS and said that she is feeling better today. She also told Pam that she is generally happy there, just that she is really anxious to attain very good results and it does not seem easy.

4 pcs of cakes to post-celebrate my birthday: carrot cake, cheese cake, tiramisu cup & lemon tart from The Great. They sang the happy birthday song. Wow! So pleasing to my soul. All troubles have to be put aside for some time.
