My Future
Haven't been blogging for a while since the turn of this year because had been really busy and though at times, there are things that I want to write, I would be too tired to pen it down the moment I get home. I don't really know the reason; but everyday after 9pm, I would be feeling really tired and exhausted wherever I am. And hence, didn't manage to blog a single entry these past 1 week or so.
Well, how are things going for me in 2007? Career wise, I would say that I am getting more involved in the team; taking up more responsiblities and being able to contribute more to the team in one way or another. I must really thank Him for everything that I have and am doing right now at this current moment. Because firstly, for a person who is coming from a totally non finance related background to be doing what I am doing now, it's already a miracle.
However, having said that; I expect to do more and more to come in the future. When do you know if you are living according to His will? When you pray for certain things and they are answered the very next moment or day!. For example, from time to time, I will pray before I reach work that I would be a problem solver at my workplace and indeed I was given opportunities to solve simple situations either with a client or with my colleagues. :)
Working in the banking industry is exciting. Because you get exposed to so many things that you don't get to see if you work elsewhere. However, I have also learnt that there is no job on this world that has only good points about it. The difference is made when each individual decides to adopt a certain level of attitude towards it and gain ownership of the task he/she is given; irregardless of whether your renumeration justifies the amount of work that you're doing. :)
For the foreseable future, I would want to stay in this industry, to learn new skills and expand my skillset. Although I do miss teaching a lot and not to mention my ex-students, I feel this is the season for me to work in this industry and until this season is over, then I will contemplate doing a mid career switch back to teaching.
Basically, the common denominator for both jobs is: HUMAN INTERACTION.
God has been really good to me although I can't say the same for me towards Him. He has always blessed me with the favour of man and wisdom wherever I go and whatever I might be doing.
I must constantly remind myself that I can't take anything for granted. Keep on keeping on!
On my personal life, I have been feeling lonely since the turn of the year. There is always a constant struggle within me emotionally daily when I end work and head back home because deep down inside me, I do want to have dinner with the special someone in my life and go for a walk down a street or just enjoy a cuppa coffee at Starbucks or CoffeeBean.
Sometimes, when I send out messages to people and don't get a reply at all, I started to get discouraged because to me; I am just asking you out for a dinner right? And if you cannot make it, at least reply to the sms and inform me that you can't make it.
Because of all these happenings, I am very discouraged right now in this area. I know that God will provide for me and I am still hanging in there but I seriously don't know how long more. Had a friendly arguement with a close friend via sms yesterday and just felt that many a times when people dispense advice, its usually touch and go and not getting to the root of the problem.
But having said that, she can't go to the root of the problem too because its out of her boundaries so I don't blame her.
But one thing is for sure; I WILL NEVER QUIT ON GOD because He has never quitted on me.
Right now, you ask me if I have anyone on mind? Seriously no. There have been a few close calls but never quite compatible in terms of what I am looking for. Criteria too high? I don't think so. HAHA!
I had dinner with Ms A just 2 days ago and I could tell u; its smashing! She is such a wonderful person to be around with because her happiness and laughter is purely infectious and I don't mind getting 'infected' and the best part is she understands how I feel! We shared on many things in our lives; personal and work and really enjoyed the walk back to her home..Orh..hahaha...
Disclaimer: She is attached already.
Orh...hahaha..but she is close to what I am looking for in terms of personality!. Well, I will continue to pray and I know that God will provide for me in this year!. Yes 2007.
1 year in the wilderness is already enough.
And it would be another 3 years before I get married. Haha...thinking too much? maybe. not being focused? probably.
I don't know what I want. Certaintly not!.
I am looking forward to a new chapter of relationship in my life very very soon.
Be focused on Him, Your life and Your dreams.
It will come to past. :)
