Christmas mood

Christmas is around the corner, so does my Christmas tree! LOL!

Finally brought out my Christmas tree and put it up in time for the coming Christmas. That’s like within a week’s time. I could already feel the holiday mood!

Working life

I really gotta admit I hardly find time and inspiration to blog lately. My weekdays are pretty tied up as it goes something like this:

0540 – wake up

0605 – getting out of my house

0630 – Hit the gym for workout

0800 – head to work

0845 – start work

1800 – get off from work

1900 – Dinner at parents’ place or catch up with friends/other stuffs

2130 – back to home

2245 – Sleep

That has been my routine for weekdays. Sigh!

…. still alive…

… I’ve been leaving my blog at the back of my head for quite some time. It’s time to get back into my blogging routine.

Ever since my last blog entry, many things have happened in my life. First thing first was getting my life back to the banking career. It hasn’t been easy to put up with the morning rush to my work place within KL city centre.

CNY has come and gone. Nothing much happening during CNY, as many friends weren’t around town. Being a true blue KL boy, CNY can be a boring occasion.

Started job training since the final week of Feb. 1st and 2nd week were pretty alright, everything was very informative. However things got draggy going into 3rd week. Now am into 4th and final week. One last assessment for tomorrow and life would be easier after that.

On the other hand, it’s been great getting to know many other new joiners of my company and hanging out with them.

I realised that there’re little time left for my personal time ever since job training started. There’re sure many things to catch up by end of this week.

The start of working life again

Gosh! Time flies! I didn’t realised I haven’t been blogging for 2 weeks!

Well, I’ve started my corporate life again and man, it was such an adjustment for me. Being based in KL city centre means I have to plan my journey well getting to and back from work. As being stuck in KL traffic is no joke. Since my current branch that I attached to is just next to the train station, I’ve been taking train to work. That saves the hassle of looking for parking around my work place.

Since there’re limited parking around many of the train stations,  I’ve been making my way to Asia Jaya Station by 6.30am. Working out at Fitness First gym before I head to work. This seems like the best arrangement so far. I still get to fit in my workout routine, get a head start of the day so that I don’t feel sleepy while at work, get the best free legal parking spot near the train station.

On the other hand, my home seems to resemble a hotel stay. It’s becoming a place for me to rest and sleep before and after work. lol!

Anyway, work wise, things have not gotten into full swing yet, as there’s a formal training being planned out for me, before everything start kicking in after that. I just pray that the portfolio of customer base being assigned to me will be a good and resourceful pool of customers.

Sick but blessed

Well, as per my last blog entry, I fell sick. And it was a real bad one this round. Probably 2 marathons back-to-back was too overwhelming for my body. Flu somehow got into me and I was strucked down and feeling so weak for the past 5-6 days.

But I have to say that it’s been a blessing in disguise. I guess I was so preoccupied with chores, errands, and messy thoughts in me that I missed out one important thing prior to that.  That’s right, I’ve missed out to really spend my time to just focus and meditate in God. I’ve been searching for certain answers and as much as I’ve been praying about it, I didn’t really quiet down myself, was so busy with other things, or even to stop and listen what God has to say.

So, until I fell sick, really sick this time, I couldn’t run around anymore. My body and mind were so weak till I could only cry out asking when is this gonna end.  Due to that, I couldn’t bother to think about the chores, the errands, etc. I could only cry out to God. The next thing I know, as I continue to seek God, He started revealing the many questions in my heart. There’re so many things I’ve been wanted to ask God, but I just didn’t know what exactly to ask. I know it’s all have to do with my own direction, my so called “ultimate destiny”. God then led me to pick up the book that I’ve read many years ago, Wild at Heart, by John Eldredge. I’d read that book back in my uni days. I knew it’s a very resourceful book for Christian men, but I supposed I didn’t fully aware of how it could apply in my life then.

I finished reading the whole book in 2 days (since I was sick and couldn’t be bother to do any other things). It’s been a refreshing moment reading the book again. I was truly amazed at how God has revealed so much to me through it this time round.  I found the very question that I’ve been wanted to ask, and the answer for it. On top of that, I’ve got affirmation on the things that I thought I wasn’t up for. There’re still a journey to go, but at least now I have a clearer picture on my life’s journey. I strongly recommend this book to every man,

I just got to say, God really has His own way of getting each of our attention.

Anniversary

So, the day came, 12th Oct 2009. Does it seems like a familiar date to you? … you might remember it for the anniversary of Bali bombing. Besides that, it’s actually my birthday. … and of cause some of my other friends who share the same birthday.

Nothing much happening this year, maybe because it falls on Monday. Everyone’s probably not in any celebration mood, including me. At least I’m glad that my close mates from church throw me a wonderful dinner the day before. So how do I spend my birthday? It’s just another Monday to me. Woke up at 6am and hit the gym by 6.30am as usual. After that was busy with work until evening time.

Was suppose to have dinner with parents at one of the restaurant around, but my granny forgotten that and cooked up dinner at home. So went back to parents’ place for  dinner instead.

The day ended early for me to prepare for an early run the next morning. But hey, I still appreciate those SMS’s and messages on FB. Thanks guys!

I guess birthday doesn’t matters much anymore once you hit working life.
