Time is running. Time is running so fast that I can hardly catch my breath. I shouldn't be blogging from office, I'm juggling this post btwn responding to outlook, catching up with ctx alert, cleaning up the server monitoring agent spam, sudden ad hoc request to install another agent, answering phonecalls from helpdesk who need further support, listening to my fellow cllg sitting beside me 'san-meng', responding to sms, checking facebook...
End-user support work life now doesn't seem as stressful as previous vendor-support life, with no sla and much more cooperative colleagues. So far I've only encountered one nasty user who freaked me out so much (reminiscence of ex big SG cilipadi boss set in), compared to before where nasty bitchy users were everywhere.
I'm guilty for not posting anything about my Bangkok Kathina trip in October 2009, it was such a good trip... that I could still remember a few points that I wanted to blog about - Mudita. Besides that, I remembered I felt a sense of calmness and peace at most of the monasteries that we visited, like going for a spirit cleansing spree! We meet lotsa good people, we stayed at Pong's hse for a night (myee's uni friend when he studied in aussie).. we had dinner with Denphong & his wife... I was drenched soaking wet when I dashed in the rain from Platinum plaza back to Central Plaza... good thing I bought 3 blouses at Platinum, that I walked straight into Isetan's toilet and changed my top (my pants was still wet)... and i still didn't fall sick after that. We bought some souvenirs from the Gift Trade Fair for our new house.. good thing they accepted creditcard :P there were some really nice cute cool little stuff that I wish I'd more hands to buy back so that I could wrap it as x'mas gift during this time of the year.. (now i have not much choices but to go to sogo during lunch time). It was my 3rd trip to Bangkok and yet we're contemplating to go for Kathina in Thailand again next October! Well this time must bring our parents along.
Other than Bangkok... I'd book for myself promo-fare to Hanoi @Vietnam inconjuction with her 1000th anniversary! Ooohh before I dream too far ahead... I have a honeymoon trip to Bali @Indonesia! If only relationship with a life-partner is as smooth-sailing as fantasy.... then I wouldn't have any valuable lessons to learn in this life journey pursuit.
As the wedding date draw near, I'll tell myself to let go... to let go of expectation of things and events that I've envisioned before. To let it go if things didn't turn out like what I'd expected it to be. I can tell that I won't be able to be in the zone... you know how I would not be embracing the moment if I were to expect for what's next...
Surprises doesn't surprise me. I live in a world of knowing and expecting what's gonna happen next. Life is kinda predictable this manner. I'm being labelled as 'indifferent' and its not to be mistaken for 'upekkha'. I'm planning for my penpal 2-weeks visit in Malaysia... I'm planning for x'mas gathering at my new house and test use my virgin oven... I'm planning for friends to stay at my new house during the m&m wedding... I'm going to print my own wedding photoalbum... I'm doing my own wedding slideshow... to add to the expectation, my other half insisted on designing and printing own invitation cards... he even wanted to have his own wedding favor container / box.. my mom wanted to make her own fruit cake as wedding favors for guests...
On top of all these expectation to commit with, im expected to get the bgf communication plan for 2010 up and running. Continue where we left for the membership system thingy. And I got voted in as exco at my sunday school for publication dpt... aiya.. so what am I trying to san-meng now?!
Just live and let live... hope that my missing hsbc cc will reappear infront of me.. i malas to cancel it cos all my insurance autodebit is under that account... hope that i can still get thinner come my wedding... hope i'll continue be blessed with happiness, understanding mind, big heart, good health and good family members to walk this journey of life with.
