In-born trait

I have had wanted to "use" AO indirectly to help me bless a sister who will be going overseas for missions. He leh.. what did he do? He literally dragged my bag & introduced me to the sister. Say I shy liao lor... Still drag. *sigh*... *smile*

Yes, I feel that being a social worker has not thicken my skin drastically. In fact, lately, I noticed that in a group of strangers or acquaintances, I really do not know how to start a conversation. I just simply find it difficult. Whether guy or gal, it's the same. It's not like because it's the opposite gender that I am shy. No no no...

To make things worse, I noticed that even with own friends, sometimes, I do think deep & hard to keep a conversation going. I have absolutely no problem with listening though.

I am beginning to wonder - Where has my brains gone to? All of a sudden, I seemed to have lost my tongue & brains! My guess is that my work has aroused quite a bit of personal thoughts. Then, I cannot share my work with a lot of people so I tend to keep quiet.

And so, I am believing that this is just a phase. I need to get used to my new job scope. Heee....

Hi sorry if I put you in an awkward position hor... Meant good not "evil" =P

Anyway isn't it better you got to know this sister personally now??? Ha ha... (justifying my actions)

But honestly, i didn't know you that shy leh... all the while I thought you kinda of outgoing cos I see you active pictures like go mountain climbing and etc... Somemore social worker, so dun blame me k??? =P

But one thing I thought right about you is that you are a kind soul and an encourager.

Quoting my lecturer "I may be deemed a very good social worker to you guys as you see me outgoing & approachable. However, in my personal life, I am really a person who doesn't speak much."

Yes, I am shy at first instance. However, 2nd, 3rd and the many many times more, shy I no longer will be. Ya la.. Am outgoing la.. but doesn't mean outgoing pple cannot be shy mah..Hee.. :P

And YES! Thanks to you (I mean it), I got to know this sister personally & no, wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be since she's so friendly. *smile*

Enjoy your trip!

lol. we need listeners, else if all talking who to listen?

tell u hor, actually the choir has alot of very shy people. really.... we are supposed to be super sanguines but... nope.. many shy ppl. (exceptions of course).

never actually see u during hopekids before but i think to be a teacher is needs alot of courage lor (like i see AO so courageous). so nothing wrong about being shy, and being selectively outgoing :)
