Working Flu

Hmmmzzz...

Ever had one of those days where you got flu? (of course you have...duh) Man those days suck espacially when you are in an air-con room right?

Keep sneezing and sneezing...and for me I become quite tired and in 'dire need of food'. Yes, I feel incredibly weak when such crap happens to me...like my energy was sapped clean. I was desperate to actually eat pao in office...scraping the dough off the paper...

And you'd guessed it! Such a day was today! Still feeling the effects...I think my temperature is a bit higher than usual...and my throat and nose feel bad...but not soooo bad la. Lucky the flu's gone, yay something to smile about haha :)

But such a thing has taught me that I am fortunate to have friends man. When I was in what you'd call a bad shape, I was given drink mixes and meds that help me lots. Couple this with friends who help you along...well thank God that I am blessed! Of course I would have to reciprocate it one day...and I will.

Friends are great to have on Earth, but we still have to be sensitive to those around us who may not experiance such joy. Well, no one is an island and I suggest that we open ourselves up to others and help one another. You will never know a person well by not talking to him/her at all I say.

I maybe being too +++positive+++ here, and of course friendship isn't rosy all the time. It is all these small things that God places in our lives to teach us even more on life.

Crud-ful Day

Hello again...welcome!

Today can be called a rather bad day, not because of a lot of stuff to do (and stress)...BUT practically a lotta things went wrong today... :( boo hoo...

I won't waste your time bitchin' about them...so in short: getting screwed hereand there, confusion here forgetfulness there, late bus and stuff...but feeling crappy about them ain't all that there is!

Well the importance of all of this is: God is behind all of them. Earth is temporal and God doesn't want us to be toooo attached to the world we are in. (but I'd guess some treats won't hurt haha)

So point is we have all this hurt and pain so that we don't get fond with the world and probably mature too...

One thing I can't figure is that no matter what wise sayings I tell myself about the crap in life (like learn and become better...or don't look invulnerable, share your weaknesses)...I always feel this resentment in me heart. Ouch.

Guess I am not there yet and have to grow more 'till I am called home...hmmmz. Then keep on going I guess...

Work so far...

The army is a place to learn a great many things...but it all depends on how you react. Clerk life may not be the toughest...but there are times when you are challenged by tough situations...some by my own blurness.

One of them was learning from mistakes. I have fumbled a few times in my career and when told of my mistakes...I did get all fired up. >-( WHY? Because I thought I was being made to look stupid and the other party's intention is to seem superior to you.

Of course I was damn frus and on the last few strands of control I had...I asked God: how should I respond? Hold onto my 'integrity' and just close up...or just forget about pride and look into the other guy's eyes and learn?

Thankfully I have choosen the latter route and learned a handful of things from mistakes. I am far from perfect (only 1 month man) but at least getting a hand at this. My predessessor has somehow left a legacy for me (preparing all the notes to read and helping me do some stuff)...I do hope I can take over the reigns sufficiently well. :)

Been Thinking

Hmmmm been reading my own entries and somehow I don't feel quite comfy with 'em...ugh.

Basically they have been a tad too +ve for me...and somehow missed a great point of Life (in my view). Maybe I was on drugs or something...more ugh.

Well yeah they be some motivational things I come out at times...but I do admit they aren't complete. Ok so if we may feel good (or high)...but in the end is there a purpose behind it? I mean, there's just no point seeking happiness just to feel great.

Ever wonder why there are so many self-help books? Probably there aren't any trully satisfied customers...

If you'd ask me purpose doesn't begin from self, but from where self starts from: God. (If you are fanatically athetist you can flame me now haha.) It is cliched for me to say that my purpose of life is to live the purpose God has given me. Cliched it maybe, but it is true.

Why submit to God? Isn't being quite naive just to throw out everything and follow God who cannot be seen and doesn't directly show Himself to you. It's quite a question to answer for me, as there're many viewpoints.

Frankly it has been a product of my life it led me to this: whatever we have now is temporal, but God is eternal. The world we live in now is a stage, some would say a crash course for heaven. There is a Godly purpose to our lives right now.

Well still not convinced or greatly fired up? I am quite muddled up in my mind right now, and probably come up with something later on....

Bored? Please don't be :)

Ni hao,

Making noise again at this little corner of the internet...buzzzzz zing boom ba-la beem! Swish boom bang! (they're actually called onomatopoeias) Man hafta let out the stress from my life man (or maybe i stress myself too much too :P) Slowly taking over from my predecessor in camp and soon to grow white hair lol.

Hmmm so how are you today? Great? Good...Bad? I'll pray for you. I guess we have to remind ourselves that we can't be on high all the time and blah blah. Most importantly, learn from painful experiences, for they are our greatest teachers.

If you are bored and reading this (which is totally expected), I'll tell you something: DO SOMETHING! Yeah being bored sux, but rest assured there is something to do. It is hard to do stuff...needs effort to overcome inertia...but do ask for help. Start a blog, read a book, do a hobby...I recommend stuff never tried before.

Easy for me to say, hard to do right? Correct. If you are really bored drop me an e-mail meester_yuri@yahoo.co.uk or something and I will try me best to help. I gots sometime...but remember, I have a job to do (or forced to)

Gotta go back and sleep for a new tomorrow. See you again and may you have a good time. :)

Looong Week

Hey there Mr/Ms/Mrs/Mdm/Dr. Surfer,

You'd probably notice that it has been a week since I have last updated me blog. Frankly, I have been busy all week long and now with the little time left, I'll try to catch-up on things I have put ON HOLD.

What to know what I have been up to? Yeah?

Well Clerk Life is not slack, truth be told. It has been a great transition for me and I am still not in 'optimal mode'. My job has been taxing due to a bilateral exercise (hafta do maths and stuff) and my need to quickly learn the ropes before my predecessors welcome CV life. :(

Outside job life was also busy busy busy...my church happens to have a fund-raising event on Sunday and my sister also held her b'day party on sun too! Clashing fun.

My week in summary: outta house..work in camp...exercise...learn new things (and screw-up)...come back home...bed...sleep...6am...work. In between the '...'s is deliberating on the church event and maybe the occasional thought on life.

Oh well if you got here...skipping paragraphs or blinding yourself with my blabbering...nice job!

Just like to say that we all can't choose if we want to be rich or poor, busy or free, male or female. All I can say is that if we can't choose our life, we can choose how to respond. Need inpiration? It will come when it wants to come...and life will always be a challenge. Live up to it!

Fun fun Saturday...

Well one thing army does to you (and maybe worklife too) is make your holidays evaporate fast. Today may have gone fast for me, made me shack...but all the worthwhile. :)

No LAN, no cinema, no cost per hour. But all the fun. Ladies and gentlemen...I introduce to you Warhammer. Yes geek stuff and pretty high cost (over 2 years or so) and lots of commitment...but with rewards.

Friends together having a good time...that's what Warhammer is. Same figures, same rules but different minds and ideas make it whole. I used to be unspirited about it as I found myself struggling to paint up my army...then with each game played I enjoyed the warmth of friendship warhammer gives. :D

So I am just saying...do you find that you are doing the same old things with friends? Well don't let up! Still have friends and that rocks. It will be a challenge to think of something to do together. A simple chat would be nice...maybe learn something or do something new together and have a laugh!

I value the time and contact I spend with my friends a lot. No man's an island, and no man's a robot...just don't settle for a shortcut for enjoying weekends. A little more thought goes a long way....

Harrowing.

Today is the 7th of July, London is struck by a lethal wave of explosions across the city. Londoners are aghast of the horror, and terrorists stake claim to such barbarism.

It must have been quite a rollercoaster ride for a Londoner right now...having just won the hosting of the 2012 Olympics, their euphoria was abruptly cut short by the attack.

I wonder why does a bombing in London inspire greater interest than what Iraqis go through daily? Yes the victims deserve the sympathy, I am with the world to mourn over the attack. It is terrible and I feel the sense of 'loss-ness' when such tragedy strikes.

In the end, many days after this infamous event, will we remember their deaths more than the lives of the Iraqi or Thai who loses his/her life to violence?

Aren't we staring at an ugly side of our civilized world'? We still value different lives differently and in the end we are quite subjective to what we screen off the media.

Of course the media has its job to report what the viewership wants, and we are inherently more interested in events which we can identify ourselves closer to. (Go ahead and flame me on this...)

It is sad we haven't gotten around our partially for others, but it isn't a time to be stiffly judgmental now...appropriateness governs after all.

The attacks have happened and the shockwaves still linger on. Thus, I will like to take this period to wish the best for the victims and their families. It is truly one of the darkest hours London has had, and the emotional shock would naturally be tremendously severe. Forgive me if I sounded too harsh or insincere.

Here's my prayer to the world: For us to remember that God sees us in all our sufferings, regardless of status. In our darkest times shall we exhibit the true light of God. We all are children of God and let's pay respect for those who have lost greatly. Reflect and learn what we can, and step on forward...

The 1st Step

Hello to anyone who gets here...welcome to my blog, situated in a little tiny corner of the realm we call the internet. So cut short the words, and let's get going! (Friendster does the intro-ing of me, so I won't bore you with every detail of my life.)

What to expect? You ask me.

Well blogs are blogs...a portal for me to express whatever I need right down here. Just leave the posting to me, and may you find it at least worthwhile to read. Something crappy for me to rant on? A good thing that happened to me? A dead boring day for me to demoralise you? Pure rubbish?

ANYTHING

Enjoy! :)
