reading

talk about the good stuff, i been more consistently reading on kindle. recently been trying to tackle a long n difficult book about audio / music cultural theories. very interesting to me but a lot of different topics covered and sometimes it's close to philosophical level. kindle says im still 75% from finishing it. cos it is made of like 65 academic essays. but i like my attempt to tackle it. basically most of my mtr trips im on kindle.

with v

recently communication with v in general have been a lot better. gotta give her the credit for being reasonable and willing to learn and trusting. dunno if it was caused by our deep talks and the counselling etc. or not but at work she has been reflecting a lot about her personality flaws n weaknesses too. she has become more self aware of issues she has, e.g. not being curious enough, too quick to judge, couldnt embrace the win-win mindset with her colleagues / subordinates, works too hard to be 'seen' etc. a few weeks ago when we were in the middle of our heated arguments, i could not imagine that she would be able to develop this self awareness. these days she been telling me how she thinks she is dumb and she is starting to see how some of the stress she faces have been created by herself.

u

i always wonder how things r going on ur side. im sure like u mentioned in ur texts a few months ago, there must have been a lot of improvements and growth. im sure you would find ways. how i wish to catch up with u, but i can only be patient i know. focus on myself first cos there is always more work to be done on myself.
