life thus far . . . part II

Saturday, November 03, 2007
still busy ... but not as busy as before ... but seems like i have lost the zeal ...

we are trying hard to close period 1 but the process is not smooth sailing ... met with a few obstacles along the way ... thankfully, my boss is around to help us ... really kudos to her - she is super resourceful and smart ... maybe that's the reason why she likes doreamon ... coz she is really like the robotic cat ... ha ha ha

supposed to go back today but dearie had a high fever in the middle of last nite and so i had to accompany him to see the doc ... afraid that he might have dengue, the gp suggested that we do a FBC at the hospital ...

thus, we spent one afternoon @ AH, the blood count was ok .. but we are monitoring the situation ... coz in the day, he's perfectly normal ... it's only in the middle of the nite that the fever attacks ... pray for us, ok ...

also, seems like the plan for a short holiday next year got to be put on hold . . .

Life thus far ...

Saturday, October 20, 2007
Walking round like a zombie these days …

Life is mainly about work, sleep, work for this entire week …

Wishing for this ‘peak’ period to be over soon …

So that normalcy can resume …

We are also trying to work out our holiday plan for next year …

Hopefully that would materialize early next year

=)

Monday, September 17, 2007
Last post on 14/9/2007 . . .

Nothing much going on in my life rite now except:

1. I’ve picked up knitting again … this time, I am knitting a cable scarf using the old yarns we (my mum and i) bought years ago for our never completed blouses ... hee

2.been surfing the web and had come across many ideas for knitting .. hope to get them started once I have gotten the right size needles, yarns and project …

3.dearie is in the midst of preparing for his exams – good news for me in a way that I can do my knitting while he is revising (yea, his boss likes them to take exams …ha ha )

4.contemplated on doing a MBA … almost signed up but the questions that they asked – really puts me off … ha ha …maybe next time …

5.has sort of stopped going on a job search … coz I cannot really think of a really strong factor to leave … even though I am not exactly happy here …

6.relationship with my colleagues had sort of improved ….

7.I am recovering well from my minor op … but still, no seafood, no chicken, cold drinks etc until a later date …and thankfully, the test results came back to say that there are no cancer cells … going back in Nov for a follow up …

8.I am also recovering from my cough and flu etc … ya, paid lots of money this year just to see doctor :(

Looking forward to :-
1.meeting my godparents for dinner this Friday

the never ending office politics ...

starring, Mr. Pride ... Mr. Ego and Mr. Perfectionist ...

tots

Sunday, September 02, 2007
back to work tomorrow ... :(

mixed feelings ....

how can i still wake up at 7am coz i have been waking up really late while i was on MC ...

on the other hand, i can't wait to get back to do my job ... it just doesn feel good for me to be on MC while everyone is earning their salary ... felt so left out ...

also, during this time, i have tot abt what i wanna do ... dearie is thinking of doing further studies, my friend is looking into that as well ... except me ...

hmm, guess it is fear and laziness that's holding me back ... all the what ifs ... what if i cannot cope? afterall, it has been ages since i left school ... what if i flunk in the thesis?? coz writing such thing has never been my forte ... guess i was blessed to have CS and MW in my FYP group back in uni .. :P and lastly, it amt of $$ that will be spent ... hmmm, can buy a small car with that sort of amount ...

still thinking if i should commit... how???

dreams, dreams, dreams ...

Tuesday, August 28, 2007
Been having bad dreams recently - well, almost every nite ... i wonder if it is due to all the medication that i have been giving myself ... western cough mixture, chinese cough mixture, pills, capsules, etc etc ...

once, i dreamt that i was scolding/angry with my family until someone woke me up from my beauty sleep ... then this morning, i dreamt that i was playing during Mass but i played so badly - dunno which page to flip to etc etc ... felt lost until i woke up when my mum called me on my mobile ...

hmm, wonder what i am going to dream of next ...

Be still . . .

Saturday, August 04, 2007
Lots of tots in my head ...

Lots of experiences gained ...

But to put them into words ...

I am having difficulty expressing them ...

Maybe, I should try ... to describe everything in a generic way ...

I had lost my bearings for quite a while and I have now found it again...

Hence, I felt more at peace ...

More at peace to deal with what ever happen in each day ...

More at peace to say that all these are just noises ...

They will pass as long as I keep still ...

Keep still and focus ...

Focus on why I made the initial choice ...

Focus that what was promised is in the process of being delivered ...

Patience, Patience and patience ...

Like what my sister shared with me ...

"The darkest of the night is the break of the dawn" ...

I feel like . . .

Tuesday, July 31, 2007
I feel like …

. . . having a waffle ice cream while watching the people go about their busy life. . .

. . . rotting at home, watching all the cable programmes, and sleep . . .

. . . going places, seeing the world, doing something else except accounting . . .

. . . going on a shopping spree, and buy lots of stuff . . .

. . . going for a nice pedicure . . .

An evening with the SSO ...

Sunday, July 22, 2007
Thanks to my company for sponsoring a charity event, we were given tickets to attend a concert by the SSO on thursday ...

Dearie was supposed to go with me but he has to do OT at the last minute.

Dun want to waste the tickets, I asked Anya if she would like to go with me.

It was my first time INSIDE the Esplande concert hall - the interior was really very nice. and the music that night was entertaining. i tot the conductor was like a magician, making melodious music with each hand gesture... also, there is a soprano ... her singing .... phew! powerful! ...

yes, i enjoyed myself thoroughly ...

half way through the concert, a super cute man caught my attention - i tot he looked like brad pitt ... then shortly after, anya also commented that there is a cute man at the back of the group ... haha ... we both agreed that he looked like brad pitt ... but we couldn't get to see more of his cute face as he was blocked by the conductor ... haha

Trust in Him ...

Thursday, July 12, 2007
Last Sunday, we had a 'spiritual session' for choir ... mainly just reflection, sharing and p&w ... during the reflection, we were asked - how have we trusted God? How are we making use of our talents etc ...

I did not share openly but I was thankful for God's providence for us this year ... there were so many things happening - new life, new status, new responsibilities, a letter from a contractor, risk of getting our house infested with ticks, my car accident, my work environment and job scope ... all these, I lifted up to Him to help me through. I felt peace of mind when I did just that ... I am able to walk on better ...

But now, faced with another unknown, I am having mixed feelings. I know I have to be strong ... I should not jump the gun ... I am just hoping that everything will be well...

Lord knows best and He is watching over me ... Thank you Lord.

Time flies ....

Wednesday, July 04, 2007

The group of Romans (with God Parents) whom God had called 2 years ago.

In a twinkling of an eye, two years just swept past us ... It felt like only yesterday when we sat in the class, not knowing each other really well, carrying our own baggage to class, not really knowing what to share etc ...

Over time, I have seen how most of us have changed - for the better ... God's love is really powerful and He heals all wounds - emotional, physical etc ...

It also seems like time stood still for us when we were going through the two-year process. All our energy, attention are on the process ...

After our baptism, it seems like we are all sent to go on a different path.

Some are busier with work (not because they want to but because things turn out like that), some went on to further their studies ...

Our weekly group gathering became smaller and smaller... maybe it is meant to be this way ...

Anyway, I am thankful for the beautiful journey that I had gone through ... and I am looking forward for what lies ahead ... Thanks be to God
