I think humans are weird. When I was busy oting daily in my previous job, I was craving for rest and free time. Now that I have the privilege of taking a short break, I can't wait to get back to work and even do some OT!!! And I'm betting that once I start work once again, I'll be craving for free time again. haha...
But I'm having mixed feelings about what's ahead. Part of me is excited for the next job and ministry, yet on the other hand, I'm kinda scared, what if I can't handle the new jobscope? But I'm holding on to His grace and promise.... Hanging on to fear is dumb...we are called to overcome fear!
I can't wait to start work!!!

Simple SMS

Woke up this morning and received an sms from ex-colleague. It was a forwarded msg from my ex-P who had smsed to my office mobile.
He was asking of how I'm doing and updating me on his progress, he sounded really optismistic and told me that he wanna aim for early completion (which i'm of full confidence that he is able to achieve!).
Though it was just a simple sms, my heart was filled with warmth and thanksgiving... he remembers me!! (ok, this sounds really ego or smtg..) but that's not where i'm coming from.
It was really an encouragment to me from God that my labour was not in vain. Guess everyone needs to be encouraged and remembered by someone. 
This was such a simple sms, yet, it contained such power.
Never underestimate the power of affirmation and encouragement. Never know what a simple sms might do for the other party. As for me, this sms is precious and real, and it simply made my day! =)

This sms also got me thinking... what footprints are we leaving behind, in our workplace and in the lives of our friends, family and people whom we meet everyday?
Our footprints form the true reflection of who we are... There are people who leave deep impressions (positive / negative) in people wherever they go, and there are also people who are like phantoms... entering and leaving a place without leaving any impact at all. 
Are our footprints filled with success and accomplishments that are fuelled by integrity or otherwise? ... What footprints do we seek to be remembered by?
May I leave behind footprints that remind others of my Lord Jesus Christ. That's the greatest gift that I can offer unto my Savior and Redeemer.=)

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." (Johm 13:34-35)

Thanks to Glo for being such a great sport last nite... now, with your hen's nite over, you'll soon (IN 2 DAYS TIME!!! OMG!!) be Mrs Loong.... feeling really excited and glad for the both of you!
It has been a long while since I last went to Downtown East chalet... those were the daes when we'll "cheong" to chalets and the beach to stayover, play cards and chat all nite... but now... it's comfort at home and beauty rest that matters!! Home Sweet Home!! Plus everyone has work and other responsibilities (babies, husbands...etc)... having worked the entire day, it's onli normal to be zombified by 1030pm. On one hand, I'm really glad to have moved on to the young adult stage, and the soon adult stage of my life... yet there's always a part of me that dun wanna grow up... hoping to be so ever carefree and fun loving. Guess I'll still be, but just in a different capacity... May I stay young at heart 4eva!! haha...

Anyway....back to our bride to be!!
