16 Days

In 16 epic days in Japan I learnt a few things.

#1. I cannot do long flights. This is the longest flight I ever took in my life (about 7-8 hours). Not budget airline somemore omg haha I'm so used to budget airlines and their no-food service haha this is sth new. I love airline food though I loved their breakfast oh my omelette leh my fav *v* Ah dinner yesterday night was disappointing though very sad pork stuff very sad but just glad to be back. Anyway back to the point about LONG flights- Any longer than this duration I will go mad hahaha I felt that strong urge to just jump around and what's worse is the fact that whenever I doze off I might end up lying on people's shoulders thank goodness for my neck pillow that helped blocked me from embarrassment and wake me up whenever it's going to happen. And suay enough I was allocated to the middle row seat which means I am the largest piece of burden if I want to go toilet. Because I need to make a choice to burden either passages beside me and they will pause their show and actually come out of their seat so I can move out!!! Burden comes in 2 parts because of course I will need to return back from toilet omg how burden can this burden be!!! I am fair and square I tried to neutralise the burden: I left for the toilet by asking the guy on my left. and when I came back from the toilet I came back from the other aisle so I burdened the lady on my right. HAHAHAHA split the burden, nicely done. Sidetrack a bit: I managed to watch Kungfu Panda 3 and Zootoepia and Big Bang Theory on the plane flights YAY

#2. It's written in my 八字 I'm always going to be a middleman. It's kind of tiring/stressful having to meet the expectation of being the happy person, the one who solves people's problems; I'm always expected to cheer people up/crack jokes/make people smile no matter how stressed I'm actually feeling. I wasn't allowed to feel stressed/sad "because eh you are the "upper" (upper referring to a positive person) leh! How can you be sad?! If you sad then we how?" For this, I'm immensely grateful to my dearest friends for letting me be who I truly am <3 Thank you Huihan, Tzelin, Lixin, Claire, Aiwee. Even if it was just online texts, felt so good ranting about the shit I'm going through because I couldn't do so irl. Thank you for letting me be human hehe. 

#3. I thought I could face rejection better than this. There was this afternoon I spent the whole time retesting my 'greeting' activity again and again and finally when I thought I could do it 100% perfect... I couldn't. Mini tiny details like pointing the whiteboard too loudly means a failure and I was so disappointed with myself haiz. So I actually teared up hahaha. Omg I thought I'm emotionally stronger de leh LOL. I think I grew up a lot emotionally this 16 days. I really thought I couldn't pass in time, and at the same time I had to deal with others' negativity as well, it was hard trying to heal but I think I healed really quickly hahaha. 

#4. The amount of heck care my parents have on me is HIGH. On a positive note, it means also that they trust me I guess. At least I have my bro always. Wasn't physically present when he embarked on his new career since it was the exact period when I flew :( Oh wells now I'm back and here! 

#5. I also expanded my eye view on the different number of personalities there are in the world. I need to admit that HI FRIENDS I LOVE YOU GUYS AND YOUR PERSONALITIES WITH ALL MY WHOLE HEART. 

#6. I don't consider this trip as a trip to Japan hahaha because all we saw was just HQ + 2nd HQ + convenience stores. Ain't nobody got time to do any walking around man. It was tough la, training and all but it really pushed us beyond what we thought we could do! :-) 

Ready or not, it's here. 2 years contract begins officially now. Oct 2016 till Oct 2018. First official class starts this Saturday afternoon. Ahhhhhhhh excited/nervous for new beginnings. Crossing my fingers brand new journey here we go again~
