The path in life - Where to?

Life is always full of obstacles and also full of highways i.e. spider web. We lead our own path. Well, in my case, with God's direction (if I remembered to surrender things to Him before making my own decision -.- .. bad me!) At times, we just dwell in where we are. Afraid of making changes, afraid of doing new things - afraid of the unseen. I am like that too. Perhaps, I am afraid to fail.

Well on another matter, I do feel my circle of friends getting smaller too. No longer part of the big gang in my dept, haha guess partly my fault for not spending time to follow up things with them and partly because those people no longer think i fit their group. No matter how or why, it seems like I no longer bother by this matter (I used to feel sad if I am left out haha). Guess when people grew up (meaning older), we tend to be quieter in a sense or wiser in a way. We don't gossips, we don't criticize for the sake of conversation any longer. What's the point if we can get to know everything on the earth. I would rather have a few "golden" friends that I trust and enjoy in their company :) Glad these friends are golden eggs to me hehe!

Record 22: Ruffy the dog is actually Tiger in name

The dog that we took care of few months back was actually named as Tiger initially. Got to know this from our neighbour (opposite) who has been taking good care of him before the accident. Tiger is more responsive as we called him this name :) After a few weeks of care since we brought him back, he is able to jump and run like a normal doggy. After being persuaded by our neighbour on the right, we decided to let him go... free. After praying to the Lord, He leaded us to Bukit Jambul to release Tiger. Indeed, it is a good place for him with a few more other dogs. Not just that the people there actually provided them food and drink. How do we know? One day, after releasing Tiger there, we went to visit him secretly. Even though Tiger waited at the same spot for us for a few days already, we saw a kind lady that went to pour clean water and rice for Tiger to eat. In my heart, I thanked God again and again for His blessing upon Tiger. At the first few days, Tiger rejoices when he sees us. It does hurt me and A-Roo for letting him go and it worries us to that time. However, after weeks, Tiger no longer sticks to us anymore for he has found his new gang of friends. I hope he is doing well and growing up healthily. :)

Record 21: It is hard to be the bad guy

At times, I am unsure whether what I did is wrong or not. It is definitely not my style but at certain times, we need to. It is not a major issue actually. It is in regards of my teammate that missed meetings again and again given the reason of unable to wake up and so. I have been reminding him couple of times, trying to let him know in a nice way that the meeting is something that is important that we ought to attend. It is actually the most important meeting that we have regularly with SJ .. our group meeting. Well, in a professional view point, it is about being accountable for the things we own, attending to every issue/question that people have upon our tasks. Today, I decided to voice out my concern to him that I am displeased with his action. Initially, I intended to cc our manager in the list for this issue has happened couple of times. But in the end, after pondering through, I deleted my manager's email from the list .. as what is the point of making people feel bad unless I have lost faith in helping him. Guess I still want to trust him to change and giving him chance to change. After sending the email to him, I submitted this matter to God, praying that God will touch his heart to understand the matter and will change for good. To me, this team mate is not a bad person. Probably his soft skills have yet to be sharpen and he is still unsure of what needed to be done. I just hope God's grace will continue to shine upon me to guide him and upon him, to understand the matter. It does made me feel bad of voicing the concern but guess it is better than none for people needs to change for better through advice. Oh Lord, may Your blessing be upon me to help those in needs. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
