The Unhurried Life

It feels great to attend church after an exciting week, to wind down a little and to get some spritual nourishment and to hear from the Lord himself. Today's message was on The unhurried life, and I felt as if the message was being preached just for me!

I was shocked to find that I could relate to four out of the six symptoms related to hurried individuals. True, I cursed my way through slow counters at food outlets or shopping centres, got extremely irritated with people who refused to stand on the left side of the escalator, and I'm really guilty of sounding my horn too much.

And yes, I do have the sunset fatigue syndrome. I'm always on turbocharged mode, and I'm extremely intolerant of people who cant process just as fast.

So what does that make me? I'm impatient, and I tend to look at people by my own unrealistic standards. I get pissed off with people who block my way and hinder my activities. And those close to me bear the brunt of my anger.

So unchristian like! I outta be struck.

Well, I've struggled with the same problem for ages. This sermon sounds like God's message to me, and I'd better be taking it seriously for my own good.

I'm gonna try meditation. Sounds scary, but I believe its not recommended for nothing. So if you see me being quiet, nah, I've not lost my marbles.

God help me!

its hot in herre.

What motivates you?

Hey blog!

Long time no see.

Yeah yeah. It’s been such a nong nong time since I last updated my blog. I’m stealing time from my lunch hour to update this spot of mine.

There are so many things that happened recently. The night cycling that took place light years ago, the passing on of people, my two week break from work (they were spent mostly at the pool, I tell ya) and my new job.

I shall not handle the almost impossible task of blogging one month's worth of events on my blog, so ask me if you want to know more =)

I spent an agonizing two nights writing all those farewell cards to my colleges. I don’t believe in writing generic or standard farewell cards (they are so passe!), so I wrote personalized messages for each and every one of my ex colleagues. Now you know why it took two nights!

Nonetheless, seeing the smiles on their faces and the appreciation really made it all worthwhile. The crazy heat walking in from the main road during the midday was worth it, and I’m certainly glad I was able to bring some laughter and smiles into the place.

While I shall so seriously miss the environs of my previous call centre for its madness and turbocharged speed, I shall look back on the lessons I’ve learnt, and the fond memories I shall have with the colleagues I befriended. God be with you all!

I’m officially employed once more. I have the luxury of working alongside with one of my fellow SCDF mates, one of whom I respect for his passion for his business and for God. Things feel so different in here. My ears are spared from the abuse from callers, and I’m not doing the same old thing over and over again. This lovely den we’ve got is a far cry from my previous workplace. Now this place is really CLEAN! I mean it.

And the fact that we’re located at Mohd Sultan- once famous for its shophouse pubs- adds this sense of nostalgia and loveliness to it. Goodbye industrial estates.

Thank God for this job- it allows me to develop in a new area, and for once, I’m using my brains. Over here, we dream big, but we stop to listen, to review and to learn from one another. Nice.

Oh and I forgot to mention. I’m doing public relations and a little of editorial. Soon, I hope to venture into events management. Speaking of which, I was put in touch with this nice gentleman from an events management company that S.H. knew of (Thx bro!). Amazingly, he’s a sound engineer too. We had a nice chat and I am seriously exploring working with them on an ad hoc basis to expose myself to the industry. If God be willing, I will want to include events management as another portfolio of my existing company.

Will that happen? Well, I’ve got two events to handle till my birthday these year. You bet I’m excited.

To the new folks I'm working with who happens to chance upon this blog...tell ya what...I'm so looking forward to have a swell time with you all!

I’ll update the blog as and when I can, but here are some new pictures that I’ve taken of late..

My Desk!
