Dreams and reality

I should really be sleeping now, the fact that today is my sleeping day. btw, the timing for this blog is somehow wrong. But I like it that way, so that somehow gives a sense of secrecy. (whatever..) However, due to the busy night at work (last night), my heart is still pumping fast from all the adrenaline that has kept me going, without any relaxation for even 10 minutes. I was the only one in charge of all the nine, including the 2 new ones. Very busy. Time flies too.

Even though these few days I was too tired for q.t. during my night shifts, but yesterday night before going to work, I knew it’s going to be crazily busy (like warzone) lol. Ok. A little exaggeration. So I prayed to God that He can help me to do it well and also for other general things. Then later on in the night, I wasn’t really tired. Just kept doing stuff, and my colleague junior thought I was on red bull or something. It’s really like an adrenaline rush that I haven’t experienced for a long time. (Perhaps since my last jog. hehe) Managed to complete all the things I’m supposed to do for them all. While keep glancing at the clock for like every 5- 10 minutes because there are so many things to juggle and do. Managed to complete all my reports on time too. Hehehe. v Signed out at 0800h. Really, quite a feat. Thank God !!!

And after school this morning, I’m just so happy that I can finally rest for 2 days now and also because of the $$ that I’ve earned for that. Smileys. Just have this sudden urge to blog. Because even when I close my eyes, a thousand and one thoughts seemed to pop into my mind……..

Assignment for 311 is going along fine. The others would need to wait first, a polish here and there, some plowing here and there. Have to do later tonight during my post-night insomnia. Hahah.

Meeting uncle Chris for BMW tomorrow morning, Grace in the evening.. ICHIBAN! hehe. And Sat, gotta change shifts fast, cos got society meeting … :S Gotta ask “Stasis” for help. Assignments…. need a visit to NLB too. One of these days….

Thought of some things this morning..

Takeshi Sorimachi once said, ” When you look back on the dream that you have realized, you would find that it had been so hard to reach it….”

I used to paste this quote on my table during my secondary school days, thinking that my dream (my present occupation) is so hard to reach, due to the many objections or blahs. But when I had it, I realized that it really wasn’t easy to accomplish it. So I should treasure it too.

But my current dream is to continue to grow in God and to be strong in Him, so that no temptation will stumble me and my life can be a good testimony for him… But this dream is also like quite far away. But this dream is so beautiful… so desirable… More than any other attractive things. (Ok, quite personal here.)

But sometimes, it’s hard to grow in God when you are alone as a Christian. You need brothers and sisters around you to encourage you, counsel, advise and spur you on, as you do too, to them. That is why we are called the body of Christ– the Church.

My gal pals who are Christians have busy schedules like me… So once in a while when we meet up, it’s quite a happy occasion.

Sometimes I do feel quite lonely in this aspect, but thank God I have my mongy, who I can always ask for advise and help…. Hee.

Sometimes, some people are so near, yet so far away from you…… Like two different worlds co-existing with each other, yet not truly seeing each other.

Packing…. Moving house.. What disturbs me most about moving house is the packing of stuff into boxes. I have this fear that I’ll lose some important stuff. So I tend to write outlandish comments on the boxes, sometimes “kena” (sic) scolding by my father for that. Like : “Mas Selamat is not here.” (Wa, that one really kena scolding.) And , ” Bomb inside.” (That one kena even worse) I know i know, I was just putting it temporary. I was gonna change it you know. And I got fed-up and wrote something like ” Very lame” in Chinese. But my dad laughed too. LOL. i know it’s funny hey.

Dunno why all the words turn out italics now. Can’t change back. Like hanged.

HMM.

I think I really prefer countries that are a bit backward, like Batam, over a country that is over developed, like say America. In JC last time, my GP teacher, Mr Tong, showed us the effect of technology on society. He brought a food blender, ketchup, water, milk and some yucky stuff. He first poured plain water into the blender. Then he said,” This is society.” Then he added in some ketchup and yucky stuff, saying that, “This is technology.” ,closed the blender, and asked my friend FF to switch it on. The result is a digusting blend of ugly water. He then said, “This is the effect of technology on society.”

Mind you, He isn’t even an old man to begin with. He was in his late twenties, and he taught fantastic GP.

But today I thought of that and think that it is true in a way. That technology has permeated and saturated too much into society today. Although benefits are there, but we can’t deny some things that has changed… Like privacy, pervasiveness of pornography, spying, internet addiction, wastage of time. What good can a lap top bring… if it just gives all the answers you need, and you don’t have to go finding it on your own? You will lack a better understanding of the topic, and things are just too easy to get, that it becomes boring and lack challenge.

(lol. I don’t know if I’m getting really cooped up that I started thinking about all these thingy.)

Ok now.

Try to sleep.

I like looking at trees,

thinking that the once huge tree grew from a small seed,

is simply amazing….

The sunshine breaking down upon the buildings in tanjong pagar,

is a really neat sight.

I can’t stand my poetic prose now.
