Starting to feel a little pressure recently, there seems to be a lot of projects left unfinished. I had been working harder than usual this week, managed to clear a couple of small projects.
It was hymns and prayers for tonight’s fellowship. Some lyrics got me thinking about life and career. I seemed to have walked a path unlike many of my peers. After graduating from my Bachelor’s degree, I worked for about 4 years before going back to school again. Studied a M Env. Sci. degree, then moved back to HK and studied another M Sci. degree. Now after spending about 3 years in the academics, I find myself a little lost, I seemed to have lost touch of the real world. Particularly so because I’ve never worked in this city, a place where people always seemed busy.
Most of my friends are more or less established in their career by this time, and I’m just in the process of kickstarting my career again, felt like I’ve lost a few years and a little bit late in the game. But then again, I’m not as tied down to a job and have the freedom to pursue my “dreams”. I’m thankful for this.
Oh God, please continue to lead me in my career, let me use the gifts you’ve given me to do good works, serving others and revealing Your glory.
Wanted to get into a habit of seeing exhibitions on a more regular basis so as to immerse myself with inspiration from others’ works. I picked Wednesday because that’s when many museums here are free.
The happy ink & wash session I scheduled for yesterday didn’t happen because I accidentally locked my phone and I had to spend the whole yesterday fixing it. Was up till 4am fixing the freaking phone! It’s interesting how we modern-day people depend so much on our phones, I kept on worrying that my friends couldn’t get a hold of me. Checked my messages after 12+ hours of disconnect, nothing important that I should be concerned. Sometimes we all tend to think of ourselves as important people when we’re all just ordinary folks laboring under the sun.
Not sure if it’s the heat, or maybe sin just had its way on me, I seemed to have become annoyed with a lot of things in the last couple of days. I was talking unusually loud to my parents during our family dim sum this afternoon and during dinner. We were talking about politics, about the way they’re treating their grandchildren (my nephews and niece), about buying expensive “nutritional” food, etc. My parents and I have different point of views in a lot of things, but I shouldn’t be so impatient, and I feel a little bad about it…
The Observatory issued the first T1 of the year, signalling the start of the typhoon season. This might explain why I’m feeling a little headache all day.
