Happiness Initiatives

21 of Feb: First party with a group of working people in SG

Yesterday I had a drink party with Scape people whose names are quite hard for me to remember! They are a group of friends gathering to share and work on each other’s problems. They chilled and relaxed by drinking wine, having Mcdonald and cheese. Initially, I was quite hesitant to come as I need to write a blog (so much to be written after 1 week!) but then felt the chance is not always there, why not!?

Drink wine after work :)

It was a true decision to come and join them! The way they talked to each other made me miss my close-friend group. Just the other day, my close friend who I meet once in several months, tagged me into a post saying that “true friends are those who don’t need to meet day by day but still understand one another”. That’s can be more correct!

2 girls are working as Scape officers. I just knew that Scape is funded by the government thus it’s not called “government body”. One girl is having some problems with Scape and is resigning soon. The process of resigning is also complicated with the delay and changing decisions of both parties for several times. Gan is struggling with his weekend trip that is a free-of-charge trip to Malaysia for around 16 people. Some people demand good place to sleep meanwhile they are meant to join the way of “tough” travelling. The commitment of this trip is not so convincing therefore he is afraid that some might not turn up tomorrow. How to deal with other’s feelings, especially the feelings of “distant people”… Emerging problem!

Simon is a chill person! We just talked yesterday for a while. He has been organizing several Happiness Film Festivals in Hochiminh, Singapore and upcoming Hanoi. The festival was welcomed by such hard-working young Vietnamese and many participants thus he wants to have one more similar event in the capital of Vietnam. He had a Master of Psychology, no wander I feel so chill talking to him.

Ever since taking a gap year, I got to know quite many people whose concern is about Psychology and taught me to be better… Also, Simon is the person who always arouse the happiness and fun among people. He has a passion for holding community lunch/party/drink with the aim to motivate people at work! His company is called “Happiness Initiatives” whose website is incredibly eye-catching and professional. The way he talked about his partner was so honest and funny that I couldn’t help laughing and missing my friends…
