My name 恩玲 恩 meaning: Grace 玲 meaning: 1)deity, soul; alert, quick-witted 2) jingling bells, and 3) tinkling of jade pendants. I think i've got a really nice Chinese name. It's amazing how I feel my name describes me. It's weird to say this cos it sounds like self-praise. It will probably sound more accurate coming out of somebody else's mouth, but I really think I'm someone with some form of gracefulness and a sense of etherealness about me. Cheryl just commented this evening that walking with me feels like she's floating. Hahaha! But as for alert and quick-witted, maybe it's not really true for me. Hahaha! I think I'm slow and a zombie at least 30% of the day. Physically speaking I'm like that. Can try to change lah, but abit hard. And I refuse to use the word blur to describe myself because I don't want to be blur. But like a driver driving on the road, I can say that I'm alert to know in life & generic purpose which place I should/shouldn't go, how fast/slow I should drive, what techniques I should use in driving. It's figurative, ok? I haven't got my driving licence yet. I thank my parents for giving me a name like that. I went for a haircut at Chapter 2 (Bugis outlet) today, and when introducing myself to the hairstylist Chloe, she commented that not many people has a "恩" coupled with 'Ling' to form a name. It's true! She is sharp. Only Christians will name their daughters with 恩 because it speaks of not just gracefulness but the grace of God. Amazing stuff. I've always felt that all of my 21 years of living on earth have been covered by the grace of God. I really feel like God has always granted me favor, right from the time I was conceived in my mum's womb. It's a miracle I'm alive today. It's a miracle I've been sheltered from a lot of hurts and pains that others might have gone through. Not necessarily a good thing though. :p But it's really a miracle....I feel like my life is so smooth-sailing compared to some. I'm indeed fortunate. Anyway, it has been the best haircut service experience I've ever gotten from Chapter 2. Chloe is warm, willing to serve, and has the skills to match up with the good service. Some people say skills is priority, service is second. Some help give hairstylists excuse for bad service that "people with good skills are like that one - quite eccentric". I REFUSE TO BELIEVE SUCH LIES. Attitude comes from the heart. Our attitude is a reflection of what is in our hearts. Most importantly, ATTITUDE DETERMINES ALTITUDE. Come on man, attitude bad means bad la. Don't hinder Singapore's goal of working towards becoming a service hub. Though we are still very far from becoming a service hub. Within Chapter 2, the hair salon that I signed a loyalty card with, I'm glad I found someone who has both the attitude and good skills. All for $28 (wash, cut, blow) and they don't raise charges just because it's CNY! Cool huh? This is called business ethics can? But in the end i Only paid $23 due to previous rebates. :) :) Labels: contemplative, daily rantings 1:12 AM
