"Thanks Vivi! You've really been of great help!" I got praised by my boss today *blushes* I don't know for what la but hearing this makes me wanna give my best in the work that I do even more! ^^
And I feel especially inspired by my manager. The things that he said made me think deeper into issues of poverty and inequality in this world.
One of the things that I have to do is plan the experiential activities for one of our big youth events in July. And I like that every time I tell him about my raw ideas, he's able refine them to make them better and with more depth.
I do need to have more depth in my thinking though! Haha.

You know they say that most of us can't stay sad or happy for a long time, because our happiness level will go back to our baseline once we adapt. They also say that if the same thing happens more than once, the first burst of emotions that you feel might be the most intense and intensities of emotions following the subsequent incidences will decrease until one day, that event might not even induce any emotions anymore.
The first one applies to me, of course.
But I would say... I recover from unhappy things a lot faster than most people?
And as for the second one... I am not too sure.
There are a lot of recurring things that happen to me. And sometimes I feel that all the emotions gets to me like they happen for the first time. XX does something to me and I feel happy, and when XX does the same thing to me again x5 times, the happiness I felt when it happened the first time is the same as the subsequent five. And similarly, for my sadness and frustrations as well.
Everytime I get frustrated, I just feel like crying, so badly.
Why is it that even after umpteen times, I'm still feeling this way? When will I get used to it? Maybe I am actually getting used to it just that I don't realise it. People take 10 times of the same thing to get used to some thing but maybe I just need 50 times of the same thing?
Having emotions like they happen for the first time can sometimes be a double-edge sword. While they enable me to find delight in recurring events, they also make me vulnerable to feeling hurt of the same intensity.

I received the stamping set that I bought from taobao a couple of days ago but only got down to carving today AND IT WAS FUN! ^^ Quite hard though, considering that I don't have the No. 1 linoleum cutter. The ones provided in the stamping set was a thicker one.
Carved the triangle and the star
Traced the leaf motif
Carved out the outlines of the leaf
And tada!
Not bad for my first? :)
