I must say I'm not a good listener. Most of the times I have to keep reminding myself to listen more instead of talk more. At times I forgot all about it and I talk talk talk...... LOL! It is hard for a talker like me to be a good listener. Being such a talkative person has often got me into problems and troubles. Hahahaha......

Sometimes friends just need a listener to listen to all their problems and complaints. But me being such "Ashley-ness", I'd often add in my own thoughts and advise. That, isn't good. Sometimes they just do not want any of my advices, they simply want me to "shut up and listen for heaven's sake". LOL.

I have done my very best recently to listen. Gosh, it's so hard to hold back my tongue. Hahaha. Sometimes a few words did slip out. However, keeping my "golden words" to myself isn't all that good either as it seems.

People around me has got used to the talkative me, when all of a sudden the noisy-Ashley becomes quiet and listening, all the arrows start pointing at me. Ta-da! I become the bulls-eye then. "Why are you so quiet? Why didn't you say a thing? You're not you anymore. You used to talk a lot. What happened? Don't you like talking to me? You don't like me anymore? Why?" @__@

I am talkative since I was a child. When I was waiting for the school bus to come, I would talk to my mom who was taking the laundry out to sun, or through the window to her room when she was sewing clothes, or when she was sweeping the floor. After school, I'd continue my talking act. My neighbour once said to my mom, "your daughter, why on earth she got so many things to talk? She seriously loves talking." Wuahahahahahaha...... Even now, whenever I go home, I'd talk to my parents till 1am, about everything that happened in KL! Hehehe. :P

The best listener I've ever met is, ANDREW!!! Hahahaha. He is really good at listening to your problems. He would not give you advice, but he would definitely say something that makes sense that you think it is silly to whine and complain. Haha. Talking to him is like a dose of lift-me-up.

But guess what, sometimes I talk too much and he doesn't talk enough. He knows everything about me, but I know very little of what's going on with his life. He rarely talks about his work 'cause to him, there's nothing worth mentioning. I only got to know a little bit about his work when I attended dinners with his colleagues, I had to listen to their conversations. So, what does Andrew talk when he's with me? Well, nonsense lor...... Hahahaha...... Mostly would be the things happened around me. :P Or our future.

Well, my conclusion, it is bloody hard to be both a good listener and talker. If you happened to know one, please do let me know. Hahahaha!

P/S: My iPhone baby is back to life and normal!!! YAY! A day without iPhone = mad boring day! I do not know what happened to it. The screen was all white, couldn't click a damn thing, couldn't even off it! Then Wan Yi told me it happened to her iPod and asked me to drain the battery and let if off by itself. Yesterday afternoon before Andrew went to work, the iPhone's battery went dead and the phone was off. He recharged it, on it back and everything back to normal! Stupid lah!!! Real stupid! Grrrrr......
