Sunday Cramps

Dun you just hate it when your whole Sunday afternoon is wasted in pain? Of all things, pain.

I had a really really bad cramp this afternoon and couldn't do anything else than lie on the bed. In agony, drenching my bed with cold sweat and waiting for the whole ordeal to end.

What a way to spend my Sunday.

I'm believing God that this is the last of my cramp. It's time for it to end. After all, God said that by the stripes of Jesus, I'm healed. And so I am.

What I really find a privilege of being a Christian is the possibility. There is no impossibility to the situation because the God I serve is a God of all possibilities 'cos He's the Almighty.

You go home early and then what?

You sit in front of the computer and start typing and clicking your mouse away..

WAIT A MINUTE!!

Wasn't that what you were doing in your office before you come back home??

Oh yeah.
It was.

Darn.

Why did I bother coming home anyway? Office has nice air-con, great lights....and I score a plus when my boss sees that I'm busying 'working' away after the official go home time.

I don't have an internet access in my workplace.

Even if I do, I'll be a dead duck if I'm caught browsing or blogging.

And it just feels so great to be home, knowing work is done for the day.

Fish Go a Swimming

Location : Sony shop @ The Curve

In the centre of the shop, where the cameras are displayed, is a square aquarium containing ocean fishes. The aquarium is at the peripheral of a pillar.

When I was there, Sat 4 June 05 @ 930pm, I noticed 1 yellow tang ( think Dory in yellow) and a long-fin bannerfish swimming.

It's really funny because the yellow tang was swimming round and round the aquarium and the long-fin bannerfish was following the yellow tang behind. It was as though the both of them were having a race and the yellow tang was leading. Other times, it seemed as though the yellow tang was trying to loose the long-fin bannerfish who persistently wants to be with the yellow tang.

Who knows what's in their heads. It's just amusing watching them swimming round and round.

=)

I think Sony have that aquarium in there to keep people like me occupied - non digital savvy folks who find fishes more entertaining than the latest gadgets.

A Road Less Travelled

A Road Less Travelled

By Robert Frost

The Road Not Taken,
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both,
And be one traveller, long I stood,
And looked down one as far as I could,
To where it bent in the undergrowth,

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that, the passing there,
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay,
In leaves no step had trodden black,
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh,
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

The poem above described my situation and my decision. 2 days ago I made a choice.

I quit my job.

It's a great job. I have job security. I have a nice physical working environment. I like my colleagues. Only 1 thing did't fit in - the work.

I didn't like the hours I have to put in for the work that I do. I felt the output didn't justify the input. The more I consider my future, the more I see that what I'm doing now is not going to get me where I want to be.

After 1 year of frustration, pondering and praying - I decided to quit my job and take up a job offer I would never ever have considered taking.

I don't know how this journey I've chosen would be. I know it would provide me with the skills that I need. All I have is the assurance that God is my provider and He's with me all the way. I guess that's all I need. What more can I ask for? After all, as Jesus puts it, God feeds the sparrows and clothes the lilies in the field, He sent His son to die for me, how can I not trust Him who loves me so much?
