Commenced

More than half a year has gone by
And I finally had a proper closure to my Uni education on 9th July 2010
Donned the graduation gown and mortar board
Went up stage for a brief 10seconds
Had hours of photo-taking with families and friends.
After all, truly it's just a ceremony.
What matters most is the heart, memories shared and experienced gained over the 5years.
Saw Richard Ho's comment on Colin's fb wall,
"the journey has just begun".
Now then it dawned on me that our graduation is called "Commencement".
Truly, the journey has just begun.

2 months and going on to 3 months in RSP,
work has been challenging yet exciting and fun.
Practically learning something new every other day.
Stress level can be high when people just keep coming back to me and task me with work.
Should I be heartened that they trust my ability?
But just can't help to lament the neverending work at times.
Being the perfectionist and efficient person,
I often get frustrated for not being able to accomplish tasks in time.
Just thursday I missed my haircut appointment coz I've to clear my work before going on leave on Friday for my graduation. Felt irritated.
I need to be realistic and accept certain facts of life and myself.

Praying and hoping that my work will not gravely affect my upcoming commitment in my LRSS Cell Groups...if not i'll be even more frustrated.
Balance?
Trying to find.
Peace and harmony at heart?
Trying to achieve.
Ministering in church?
Trying to prioritise and discern.

So many things seemed to be deficient for me...
not enough this not enough that...
what is enough?
what is abundant?
questions
searching

I need to exercise regularly.
I need rest.
I need to pray.

wants and needs....another tussle.

random thoughts...
I think S'pore and the world is going to suffer from the iPhone disease.
it's a powerful and useful tool.
Depends on users.
But more often, people choose escapism and enter the world of iPhone...
when they're on train, when they're practically everywhere.
Their soul seemed to be sucked into the phone.
Possessions...
Indeed, possessed by possessing the iPhone.
