Two Tests

My G-plan yesterday required me to undergo two tests. I passed one but failed in another…all by choice…my own choice.

In my first test, someone whom I hardly knew made some personal comments about me on a blog. Very strange comments about me that I felt was quite amusing. Some friends of mine felt the comments were totally unnecessary and rude. When I didn’t go online until quite late last night, they got worried. LOL! They thought I was upset about those comments. No lah! I was out the whole night having a nice dinner with two friends. I will never be upset over such trivial things in life, especially when it came from some smart alec. My mind didn’t move because it was crystal clear and I could see my test very clearly. I thought I passed with flying colours…yahoooo!

In my second test of the day, I had to deal with two difficult doctors, specialists in one of our big hospitals. They were clients of my client whom was sponsoring their project. Despite all my years of dealing with difficult and demanding clients, I still get upset when I meet clients who think money can buy them the world. So I offended them and they were pissed off with me! I apologised to my client after the meeting and told her she can replace me with another designer. This client is more like a friend to me now and when we were in her car chatting away, I told her now I can understand why she’s quitting her job. She has to deal with these doctors everyday in the course of her work and they are really a pain in the ass! She said the ones I met yesterday were considered mild ones already…lol! I smiled and told her I’m glad I am poor but happy. Yeah…I really felt it that moment.

But after that meeting, I looked back and felt I failed in that test because I allowed my temper to rise…again. I was aware of my anger rising in me but I failed to manage it so I was knocked off the hill once more and have to start climbing from base camp again. Sigh…! This journey sure is tiring but don’t worry friends…I’m a good climber…I’ll keep trying and will one day conquer the peak.

I realised through these two tests yesterday that I can do anything, anything at all for my friends, my weak spot. But as far as earning a living is concerned, I’m just a complete nincompoop! I needed money for my trip but I threw away a chance to make money…could have been more diplomatic in handling that situation but my pride got the better of me. But not to worry, I will try to get more jobs…in fact, my hands are now so full, I’m getting worried how to handle so many projects at one go? ^_^…my G-plan!
