today i faced the computer monitor for 14 hours. my eyes are popping out. and i dun forsee the hours in front of the computer getting any shorter. that's a bad sign. bahh.
i absolutely abhor the woman that i've to report to at work. she's really such a !@#$%. is she stupid or what. she might be good technically, but i think she has totally no brains at all.
this week hasnt begun well. firstly, i lost my ez link card for the 3rd time, yesterday at the carpark at vivo. darn. i hate to admit it, but this is the second time this year i lost my ezlink card. one of my most important possession is my ezlink card. without it, going out would be such a chore.
work wasnt good today either. or rather, work hasnt been good since it started lst week. it's really quite boring and i havent quite gotten used to being in an office. it means sitting down at your desk the whole day doing your work. i dun really like such jobs that require so little movement. bahh. and of course, that woman doesnt help at all. i hope work gets better everyday.
my mom's leaving for china for 2-3 weeks plus tomorrow. i dun really like the idea of my mom travelling to a foreign country all alone. it worries me. quite a lot indeed. :O( 2-3 weeks is a long time. just like the time s was away, it seemed like eternity. at least my mom has a proper hotel to stay in. guess what. it's an exec suite in marriot sponsored by the company. i should go too man. bumm.
i've learnt to appreciate green tea icecream. and awwww.. i adore japanese red beans.
on saturday i went for my first real community project. it's different from the ones we had to go for to clock cip hours. it was a trip to the zoo with the people fromMINDS. all the other volunteers are paired up with one of the beneficiaries, or to put it in a nicer way, the participants. i wasnt assigned one cos i was the photographer for the day. this meant that i had the chance to walk around and mingle with everyone. it really touched and warmed my heart to see all the volunteers, mostly around the same age as me, putting their whole heart and soul into taking care of the folks from minds for the morning. it was all about putting aside your own selfish needs and desires and putting others before yourself. it was even more prevalent when it came to meal times and toilet breaks. the volunteers did every single chore without complain even though it meant getting themselves dirty, was inconvenient or tedious. it was all about sacrifice.
it showed me what servanthood really is.
i lay every burden down,at the foot of the cross.
