Surprised that i managed to stay home after knocking off work for the past two days.
Or rather it's funny how circumstances change to make that happen.
Enjoyed the time to draw and go online (which is something that won't happen except from 8 to 5)

the top 3 things that i need to complete ASAP
1) pass driving
2) proficiency in playing guitar
3) (haven't thought of it yet)

haha

"Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full"

random:walt disney concert hall in L.A. , USA (love how irregular the exteriors are)

After today, came to the sudden realization that I can live my life without being apologetic constantly.
That I am facing all the problems so the greater self within can emerge!
My heart feels a tad lighter and freed up.
Thank you God :)

Just a random old song, that is still as touching as ever.

sometimes I just feel like running away from the crowd.

to a place where I am by myself.

Oh well, I can't do anything except to hang on.

This mundane routine is not going to last forever.

I was left reflecting upon this question today
"What is thing that drive us to go on in life every single day?"

Is it the wealth that we'll gather from the work we do?
or is it the friends, classmates, colleagues that we'll get to meet that keep us going?
our love for our children, spouse or family members?
or is it just solely to satisfy our own desires?

this can be such a simple basic question that many of us would fail to ask ourselves.
even for myself, when the world seems to revolve at such a quick pace.
I would stop at my step and ask myself.

and the answer would always be the same.
without God, I would not be where I am today.
the countless times, through the darkest nights, He was there to comfort n strengthen me:)

okay a new working week awaits.
just like how i was joking with my colleague what we should say on Mondays
"Oh God, it's monday!"

:)

had an exciting start of the week

didn't expect things all to fall into place, and in this sequence.

started off with singing k, with fellow pos friends on mon nite.

though a little worn out after work, we all had our fill of fun

realized that it comes to singing k, the smaller the group, the higher the chance u'll get your turn to sing.

haha

took off on wed.

couldn't resist the idea of night cycling..

well didn't regret that choice too.

even though i was totally shagged out, in a daze, just like the rest.

(too bad i didn't manage to capture the unglam pics on my cam)

the feeling of having the cool breeze rustle through your hair, while u cycle through the dark n quiet CBD area, never ever imagined i can do that.

it was really an experience :)

ok reality hits and work resumes tml!

shall let the pictures do the talking

good nite!

super backdated post. no idea what is wrong with blogger or this post.
kept having error after i've uploaded it

morning!
using my email to blog for the first time.
made it through last night.though i was half regretting arranging an outing
but all of us had fun, to just lay aside all the concerns we have.
and just sing our hearts out (doesn't matter if it is in tune or not)

haha.taken a day off tomorrow.
there is just so much i hope to accomplish tml.
i might be better off catching on my sleep!
good day people :)

the start of a new working week.
MONDAY.
is the most dreaded day for many working adults.

thankfully, I am not feeling that dread
maybe I've become numb to that feeling.
but as I recall.this definitely beats booking in.
the very least I won't be feeling so anxious and down by the start of sunday.
haha

life is a very funny story, when we look back at it.
our actions and behaviour in the past seem so illogical now that we've come to think of them.
a question by a friend triggered my thoughts
"Am I getting too occupied and busy with the work of others?"
I would say yes and no.
Yes to the fact that I've to work in order to survive and maintain financial independence.
No that it is not just only for the work for others.
I enjoy all that I'm doing, and that they do a service to others and that blessed my own life as well.
but that reminds me that I haven't had much time for my fav pastime - to visit the library, borrow a few archi books and go home to sketch and read, over coffee.

Life has to hold a purpose.
and we have to be very sure that we're not just assuming our purposes

Life with a companion.

It is too much to ask for a holiday before the start of school?

had an extremely exhausting day
realized the importance of my colleague.
and how everything actually works in her presence
without her i'm left to face all the unusual and at times demanding questions from the fellow prof and their secretaries.

oh well can't deny the fact that I am a just temp staff
but after knowing about the so-called "increase in remuneration"
i was left questioning about the extra effort that i've put in ever since my another colleague resigned.
was all of that meant deserving of just a little more pay, with no changes in any benefits or leave?
felt quite disappointed.
wanted to just say "oh well, then goodbye!"
but i know that if i did that on impulse, I would definitely regret it later.

alright at least I am still dutifully employed.
after hearing from a friend that she's going to watch tv to relax after her paper was over today
I would wonder what was I all busy for?

for the hope n vision to see the children grow in their knowledge, academics and well-being?
that is but of course.
and that keeps me going.to see those that are less competent to actually progress step by step.
gives me all the meaning n satisfaction in life.

a random thought came to my mind.
and I really yearn for another nice, relaxed and long break
(overseas of course!)

I want to sit on the A380!

had the most fulfilling weekend after a long busy period
was quite relieved i could get my mind off work at least 48 hours

and i am not so restricted about what i can do.
now i can truly understand what it actually means to pamper myself with the simple pleasures of life.
getting a nice haircut at the salon.
though it hurts the pocket.
by in exchange for the experience.it's rather worthwhile
(though i hope i am able to survive without any haircut for at least 2 months)
and I am avoiding ten dollars cut as much as i can
(considering that I've had several bad experiences during NS days)

sunday had come to an end.
and monday has arrived.
time to settle down and start the week well :)
have a great wk ahead people!

it is time to prioritize, put aside agendas
and to come back to the fervent life of prayer.
