Life Is Full of Surprises
Everytime I think that life is mundane and just ok, it throws something into my path. This past 6 months or so have been so very crazy for me. I quit my job, planned to go to Canada, but ended up not going. Instead I visited Hong Kong. Had a marvelous time there but wished that I could see more, eat more, shop more. Then miraculously I found a job when I got back. But sales really isn’t my forte, so I resigned from that job. But in the process I have met many many new friends, got invovled in many many new things. Now I’m in a whole new company, have been here for 3 months now, and am enjoying every minute of it (almost every minute…nah…just kidding).
Events, work, the charity ball at my church, Leo has taken up most of my time for the past 2 months. But it was all good and I had a smashing time. I took up netball and futsal (that’s why if you see me now, you’ll say I look healthier and have slimmed down =)).
Christmas, as we all know, has just passed by, and things get even crazier when my youth group’s Christmas play had to happened. We did not have enough members to pull it through. So I ended up playing a wiseman. Me… a wiseman???? I know myself and I know that I’m not that wise and I definitely do not look like a man. So it was a really refreshing experience for me and my fellow members. Then a very sad news reached us on Christmas eve morning. My childhood friend’s dad passed on that very morning.
At times like these I often wonder why life treats us so cruelly. Why now? Can’t they just spend Christmas time together as a family happily? This made me realise how short our lives are. And there’s so much I want to do. And most importantly, I realised that I should always appreciate the people around me and love them more. Since New Year is coming, I’m drafting out my resolutions (of course the realistic ones only) so I won’t miss out a thing to do.
My plans for the coming year is to:
- Spend more time with my mum and to try to keep her happy.
- Find, establish contact and keep in touch with all my long lost friends from school, college, work, church, etc.
- Keep & bring my relationship with God to a more intimate level.
- Learn Italian, followed by French.
- Learn how to Salsa!
- Learn to play the bass guitar.
- Go whitewater rafting in Sarawak.
- Go for the Rainforest Musical Fest (Hopefully I have enough $$$ to do so).
- Scuba Diving.
- Sky Diving in New Zealand.
- And along the way, if there’s someone suitable out there, to find that someone to share my life with =)
There’s so much more things that I would like to achieve. But 1 year is a really short time to do too much. Hope that this time next year I have done all of the above.
