Too old to tolerate the young ones There are 2 classmates which are both born in dragon year (18 yrs old). Im already 26, that means i am 8 years older than them. Its just hard to teach an old new tricks. Who is the old here? Me (myself). After reaching my age, i figured i dont learn as fast and as enthusiastic compared to the adventerous young 18 yrs old gals. When im attending the skincare class, i always tend to forget a lot of things. I get laughed and sometimes critised for some small little things by the young gals. They will say little things such as, "yeah, we are not as smart as you" "Hey, dont u feel cold wearing that big jacket?" "Cant u be gentler when u wash our face?" "Why are you so stressed?" When i looked back, i really despised those little dragon born gals. I met a dragon borned gal when im doing my hair course. She have that sort of "attention grabbing" plus proud and being busybody to just anyone. HOnestly, i do not know HOW to deal with them. I also dont know what sort of attitude i should bring with me when i look at them. I do not know WHAT sort of speaking manner i should say when im talking with them. I do think these young gals can be stamping on my head pretty soon if i dont voice out what i think. Trying to do well in my skin care course is an issue. It is also another issue if i want to deal with these people. The history will repeat unless i think of a solution. I do not want to go through all the disasters when i was attending hair classes. |

would like to say thank you to barebuttocks, chocolatecake, stupidgirl for their advices. They taught me new words to defend and attack the young gals. "grow up" "My head if full, unlike yours (young & empty)" "18 yrs old deserve to act like a kid" LOL. Thanks. MOre please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After some serious thoughts, i planned to settle with a decision on sparing saturday by working as a skin care trainee. What about sunday? Work in the hair saloon. I cant bear to forget lotsa things. Night time? Toastmaster meetings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After what happened to me and my ex, i have decided not to open my heart to any guys. I just dont feel like getting a boyfriend. No mood. I want to grieve. I havent grieve enough. I deserve to feel pain and to slowly heal before i am able to meet someone new again.

Age is 'relative' - like to me, you are so very young yet 'grown up' in your thoughts and words and your views of our world. Your attitude to work and learning sets you well apart from many. Because you want to learn, you will - the rate at which you learn is far less important. Chances are, you may learn slower (as I do now I'm older) but you will remember far more of what you learn. As for the grieving thing, you already know how to handle this - I can't give advice to one who has already gone through the thoughts and options and probably found the best solution. To be 'in' a relationship, you have to 'want' to - you will again, when you are ready. While you feel sad, work is good - it takes your mind off of things. It also uses up your spare time - the time when you would be sad. Sad or not, you seem to have things reasonably well sorted in your mind. Virtual hugs TG

Toukki dear, You know yourself better and trust yourself that they are just kids!! You got 8 more years of experience that they are lacking and that means a lot. Enjoy the process of learning new skills and try your best to absorb the things you have learned. You may absorb things slower than them but maybe it was because you knew or got something that those young gals are lacking! Happy to see you keep writing and hope to read more of your blog. Ash

About the 18 yrs old gal in the skin school, today she talked approximately 1 hour on how she has helped massage a customer in the saloon (she tried to outsmart us by quickly participate into the saloon). Looks like she already prepare to learn faster and tried to be smarter than all of us. However, she get scolded badly because she is just a student. Must not massage customer's shoulder yet because no experience and no skill. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA.. serve her right. I envy she get the chance to experience BUT then, i am sure i can do better than her in the future. Oh... she did purposely tried to make her and me bad in front of the teacher (just to show that we have disagreement). bah.. the teacher have her own problem too LOL. miss elec, there is a place called Lutong toastmaster District 51 Division E . It was first bought from a female worker from Shell Lutong (from penang) to sarawak.

heheh rejoice. Dont worry, they didnt read what u wrote LOL. ok FOLKS. I have learnt my lessons VERY VERY hard way. When i was at the hairdressing school, i was too timid and i must admit i dont dare to fight for my rights and never even voice out my opinion. Others found out i dont even love myself enough, tats why they took advantage of me. ITS ANOTHER STORY NOW. i am going to make EVERYONE pay for what they do to me. Damn them. I will use sharp tongue to talk back! No one have the right to abuse my rights and my feelings unless i let them. Now is not the right time to lower down my feelings BUT to ready for a battle!!! If it comes to critical moments, i can even slap and punch. I DONT CARE!!!!!! Let them see that i am not the type so easily get bully! I have ENOUGH Of all these CRAPS and FOOLISH people !

I used to strike my younger cousins when they didn't listen to me or did something I disliked. But I'd better change my aggros since I will get old and my cousins will become young guys. Now, I like those teenagers, children and babies although I sometimes feel they are troublesome. The future belongs to them. Please allow me to attach an article about youth here. People are always talking about 'the problem of youth'. If there is one -- which I take leave to doubt -- then it is older people who create it, not the young themselves. Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings -- people just like their elders. There is only one difference between an old man and a young one: the young man has a glorious future before him and the old one has a splendid future behind him: and maybe that is where the rub is. When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and uncertain -- that I was a new boy in a huge school, and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem. For one thing, being a problem gives you a certain identity, and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking. I find young people exciting. They have an air of freedom, and they not a dreary commitment to mean ambitions or love of comfort. They are not anxious social climbers, and they have no devotion to material things. All this seems to me to link them with life, and the origins of things. It's as if they were, in some sense, cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban creatures. All that is in my mind when I meet a young person. He may be conceited, ill-mannered, presumptuous or fatuous, but I do not turn for protection to dreary cliches about respect of elders -- as if mere age were a reason for respect. I accept that we are equals, and I will argue with him, as an equal, if I think he is wrong.  Please don't disturb a chicken before he hatches.

Toukki, use your sense of humor to come up with come backs. Say it with a smile and they are sure to become friends with you as well. This is how I dealt with the teens I had to teach. They actually respect you this way. Pup

For these 2 days, seemed like the youngsters are much more patient and kinder to me. I dont think i have changed but i do think maybe the teacher must have gave them some advices on their behaviour (coz they stayed under the same roof). Still early to say. Who knows? These youngsters might become monsters after a week or two weeks later, right? The course will lasts for another 5 months. Its a long marathon.

I think for the past few days, my classmates seemed to have a certain respect at me. Maybe its the teachers and staffs, plus the senior students gave up some pieces of news about me to my classmates. Yeah, its more or less about my education and work experience plus my skills. Btw, ive managed to collect all (still have one) more certs from my hair cut. Hopefully my life should be much more cheerful in the class. Seemed like i get to see the differences between my classmates and the seniors. The seniors just luv to play so much LOL. I felt so much relaxed with them.
