Back In Action!

Mountains have indeed been moved!

Haha...over the past 2 days in the office, it was as I said, more packing and dumping. My colleagues have been awfully helpful. While I was away, they actually helped made the many rounds in transferring all my barang barang from my old workstation to the new. Got back yesterday and they continued to help me to set up my PC, phone and network and tidy up all the wiring. Wow, I would have been easily overwhelmed without their help.

With all that settled, all I really needed to do was to sort out what goes where. I'm glad I needed to stay back in campus for band camp. All my stuff were sorted out by six this morning. Slept about 2 hours, washed up and then it's back to tidy up the lose ends. So happy that I'm done with all that and can settle down with real work full force on Monday. So much to do with all the events coming up. God, I need Your grace!

At this moment, I'm just waiting in the band room for the band concert committee meeting at 7.30pm. Camp has ended and all have gone for dinner. I'm sure there'll be lots of blur-ness and yawns later. Haha...grace for them, too, Father. :)

I can't believe how much stuff I've accumulated over the years, even though I've been going through the whole process many times. But I've a new motto now to minimize this - I don't have to possess what I love. Sounds irrelevant? Well, it applies to people and things. To things, it would simply means that I don't have to buy whatever that's pleasing to the eye. I can appreciate it without owning it, even though I know very well I have the means to. So, let them stay on the shelves in the stores. They probably look nicer there than lying around at home or office. It's a discipline of the soul, I guess. "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:21). May my heart's treasure be the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and not the material things of this world - lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life (1 John 2:16).

Abba Father, like what Elisabeth Elliot said, "let me love what You command and desire what you promise." Nothing more, nothing less.

Dol-awass-eo • Back I think that’s what it means la. Act cool only. 😂  This picture's got nothing to do with this post, but I happy just want to put it here la...#tb27032023 Context: Today my bff reminded me that a while back she asked me to revive my blog and start writing again. So here I am, sitting in McD thumbing my comeback essay (eee…this word still brings the shivers) which could even be my last since I seriously don’t know where I’m heading with this. But one thing I can say though, the tagline of my blog still stands. Bandaged to be able to leave my heart. Not trying to be emo but it’s the truth. One type of bandage recommended by my bff is called “Manage Myself”. This includes not expecting to change others but managing my own expectation of how others can/should change. I haven’t read my previous posts since I last wrote (Dec 2016) but I vaguely remember one such emo post where I mentioned about less expectation = less pain. I can’t recall what caused me to write somet

Friendship Inc.

Quite a lot has been running through my head for the past few days, in particularly, the issue of friendship - what it meant to me in the past and what it means to me now. People around me have asked me, "Cynthia, do you have a best friend?" or simply, "Who are you close(r) to?" I don't know what the kind of answers they are expecting out of me and why they would want to know, but everytime such a question is asked, I can't immediately give an answer. It probably sounds kind of strange. I mean, if it's my close or best friend, wouldn't the answer be really straightforward and requires little thought to it? But yet I find that I'm unable to respond. All around me, I find that people are often seeking to be someone's special someone. It doesn't necessarily mean boyfriend-girlfriend kind of relationship. I mean isn't it nice to know that you have a special place in someone's heart, especially if that someone is one whom you find that
