What? Where?

"Update the blog once a week". It's glaring at me.

It has been quite a while since my last post. It has been a while since anything. I don't even know where to start. It has not exactly been all sunny lately but instead of complaining about what has gone wrong, i'll take my cues from noves (since i'm seen as a male version of her) of listing down things and events that I'm thankful for. It has been ages since that's been done, I do think that now's a better than ever to be doing so.

So here I go.

1. I have a job - multiple jobs actually. I'm a risk surveyor by day and a WWF research assistant by night. Both pays relatively well. The perks are quite impressive. My fuel, phone bills, parking and toll are all taken care of. A new laptop, phone and camera (well they've arrived but have yet to be handed to me). But i really thank God for favour, because I wouldn't hire me. Guess they saw something they liked.

2. Wonderful people around me. I have wonderful housemates. Colleagues that are very patient in coaching me, and quite sporting too. Family members that constantly ask me how I'm doing. Recently I've had the chance to start taking care of my brother's handphone expenses - it'll hurt a bit money wise but it's nothing compared t seeing him happy. Despite my shortcomings, I'm grateful for those close friends has stuck and put up with me, you know who you are:)

3. For the little things. Ah Fatt treated me for dinner at Madam Kwan's. My colleague - Sia, would buy me breakfast and at times lunch too. She'd refuse to take any payment from me. The lock on one of the doors of my Wira has miraculously fixed itself, and has been working like clockwork eversince. For the friendly 'good mornings' when I walk through the lobby of Hotel Istana and at work. For the rm32 that got mysteriously credited into my handphone. Thank you sir/madam Anonymous!

4. Last but not least, God. I'm a Christian. A wayward one at that. My walk has just been down at the pits. Priorities upside down. Focus is something to be desired for. It's so easy to lose sight of my 'first love' in this rat race. Even now I'm feeling squemish of the term -'first love'. But still, when I do pray or sing, He is there - a gentle prodding, touch or voice ; 'seek Him while He can be found' seems to echo.

There! And now it's back to work.
