The Teapot's Cabin

It's the end of the week...oops...rephrase, working week...oops..rephrase again, official working week....all because i never stop working, even though on weekends where i have to stand in....well, that's what working life is all about....work work and more work... well...it was indeed an interesting week altogether....encountered very interesting people and very interesting scenarios daily, each unique in their own way...but somehow, made me question and look back at my own self..... i was given this question: what would you regret if you were on your death bed? such a heavy load question...for which, in fact, i had that thought before and that has resulted in me doing what i am doing today...serving others in the best way i can...apart from writing down my thoughts here as an imprint of what i have been thinking.... yes indeed! that question hit me because that was exactly what change me. and now it got me thinking again, whether what i have change has work out the way ...

We often wait...wait for the right moment...wait for the right person...wait for the right opportunity to come our way....we will just wait and wait and continue waiting....always waiting for the RIGHT thing....but do we ever question what is RIGHT? i admit i have always been waiting.....waiting for the right one...in different aspects of my life ie the right degree, the right career path, the right job, the right position, the right one....but how do we know when we have finally actually gotten the right one all this while? i've been through alot in terms of my career....5 years down the line and seriously, every year seems to be the "one" and im not moving or rather changing anymore...yet, look at me today..5 years in this field, yet 5 different companies...and people still ask me, "so is this the one? or will you continue to change?"...well, having look back at this...i guess people are not really waiting, but rather wanting more...and therefore they WAIT....

What makes a person happy? was having a conversation which an elder who i respect alot; a person who has accomplished so much in terms of his career, yet appear to be such a humble person. and he brought up this question to me..and indeed, i can say now that i am happy... it does not matter where you are, or what you do, but what matters most is who you are as a person altogether. two person can be in a similar situation but both may define the whole situation in two different manner, ie either a person can be so happy with what they have now, or the other way around. it all depends on your own definition of happiness. and i seriously respect such thoughts, especially coming from someone so highly ranked in the education line, and yet, a humble personality to sit and share their experience with you. how they have started from ground zero to be where they are today. all with a simple drive of determination and sheer focus. a fruitful day indeed. thank God for today. Amen.

Prayer worked wonders! and indeed it is.... it is often said and shared by so many people but sometimes, honestly, we will somehow doubt this as we always pray for the same thing, but our prayers were never answered....... well, to a certain extend, i presumed.... i truly believed that God will always answer our prayers, but his answers may not always be the answers that we are expecting...in different forms...if we realized it... but all because He knows what is best for us, not what we expect always... and what is the feeling when your prayers are answered as what you have often prayed about? one word, just AWESOME! that awesome feeling that finally, of one month praying for a particular intention, it is finally answered......and often at times, did we stop and thank God for it? or are we so blinded by the positive end results of our prayer that we forgot who is the one at "play" here? yup, it is truly normal that we are always rejoicing for good news,for great expectati...
