just spewing out...

don't know where to start
but shall just give it a try.

Almost coming to half a year
And I'm thankful for my work
the exposure
my colleagues
the long hours
and the early knock-offs.
No Monday blues for me
Coz site meeting at Jurong East.
Get to go home on time.
Just not sure how have I been faring
Need to steepen learning curve more
or just stay the way it is?
Guess i need some kind of feedback.

Train-rides...
People fight to get their seats, and so do I.
They whipped out their iPhone,
and I whipped out my Word Among Us.
I enjoy the read every morning to work
though sometimes sleepy.
It's scary how iPhone is colonising the world and our lives.
Will I really need to use iPhone to pacify my kids in future?
iPhone...Mac...the bitten apple...the Forbidden Fruit.
And truly, Macbook is so seductive.
Will I succumb to this "fruit" one of these days?

~ 1 month back...
Archdiocese Youth Day Facil Trg @ CAYC.
Session by Brian Butler.
The trg was not the usual ones.
No running through of programs.
Instead, it focuses on the inner conversion of hearts
of the facils...a very personal one-day retreat i feel.
The Mystery Trip video was inspiring to me.
Many times during praise & worship,
closed my eyes and sang.
Heard the resounding voices filling the hall,
felt like heaven on earth.
My heart was massaged very much with love,
a love that the world cannot give,
and I very much needed.
Realized that all my sins are rooted very much
from a lack of love being felt.
Went on straight away to CSC to attend Moli's
"graduation Mass" for the Conversion Retreat.
Listened to those tears-inducing testimonies.
That one day was just unexpected,
yet very fulfilling.
He likes to catch me by surprise. =)

Read the Theology of the Body for Him and Her.
Insights and revelations.
Man is a representation of Christ, who's always the Initiator.
Learnt to really take initiative and not complain/whine.
But after a while when the fuel run out,
need to remind myself again.
And again & again, we're taught...
to give till it hurts..
Coz it's "better to give than to receive".
Selfless giving than demands no rewards.
Sometimes yes...give and I feel blessed.
sometimes no...give and give..and feel drained.
and yea...hurt sometimes.
Perhaps it benefitted the others and I've done a good job.
So my rewards are in heaven.
My only consolation.

Relationships are so important.
Enjoyed meeting up with my archi friends
and just catching up with them.
Listened, joked, talked and discussed about life issues.
All within a span of one month!
Combi 1 - Juku, Stacy & Youjie. Happy for Stacy getting married!
Combi 2 - Olivia, Sarah, John and Zhiliang. Bday boys celebration.
Had a super therapeutic laugh over the 2hours plus dinner at Cedele.
And bumped into Ivan and MelDragon with other CSS Alumni. Hoho!
Combi 3 - Olivia, Kaixin and Peiyun. The Westees @ Jurong Coffeeshop.
Amazingly chatted till almost 10pm.
I guessed it's worthed the late nights on wkdays.
Human connections make me more human and alive.

Weddings...lost count how many I went.
Enjoyed those I attended for my JC Class..
amazed at how united we still are...
can chat non-stop...
all thanks to our class rep and Mrs Teo.
How will my "ideal wedding" be like?
Taking many mental notes and even did research online...
exciting but yet wary...
plan plan plan...then in the end don't materialise..

Christmas is coming...!
earnestly waiting to get myself a Xmas present
with my year end bonus...hopefully!
my long-awaited digital piano...

Wow...it's been almost 2months...

Hello blog,
Have many thoughts to "pen" down but just haven't got the "energy", time and drive to do it.
Shall do it really soon...before I forget.
Find it necessary to document my "milestone-thoughts" and "revelations".

So long..farewell!

PS: Yay...had fun changing blog layout and design. +)
