Be courageous

When I was little, I always wished to grow up, to be an adult sooner.

I realised that it is getting more difficult as I get older.

As I get older, more things need to be learnt.

Listen to the elders

Had small talk today with M over lunch. We were talking about listening to our parents/elders' advices.

People generally do not take in advice, sometimes, even good advice.

I start to examine myself. How often do I really take someone's advice and actually listen to their advice and not merely hearing? How often do I actually embrace it? Then, I realised, many times, I did listen but I did nothing about it. I would make up all sorts of excuses for not following the advice and worse, I debate about it. This had become a habit, a very bad habit.

Let go, let God

It's not easy to let go of what I used to be and what I used to have, especially on the worldly possession. This year, I have learnt so much through the process of letting go and trusting in God's provision.

Before started my own family middle this year in Malaysia, I was working as a scientist in Singapore. I loved my work, especially when it gave me so much opportunities to learn and to grow my scientific knowledge/techniques as well as career prospect. I loved the projects which gave me a lot of satisfaction every time I completed them. Boss and colleagues were nice to work with as well (although not all the time ;P ). I was nominated for promotion and would have been promoted this year if I did not leave the job. I was at my most comfortable state already.

Everything happens for a reason - Rejection

Thus far, no news of employment yet. Sigh, this can be demoralising, but......
