Rainy day
Rainy days has a unique way of putting you in a mood that you never have. It either gets you down and gloomy, or it’ll put you in a relaxing mood. Garbage has a song that goes “I’m only happy when it rains” sometimes that is really applicable.
Woke up to really dark skies and heavy rain, to top things off, it’s a Friday, end of the week. Decided that today will be a good day, to slow down my steps and enjoy the rain. Heck to the more crowded and crazier than usual trains, heck to the unhappy circumstances at work. I’m going to enjoy the day.
Life will affect you to as much as you let it to be. God be the central of my thoughts cos only God won’t disappoint anyone. Something or someone will make you emotional only if they hold a certain degree of importance in your life and I won’t let my job be one of them.
Was thinking back on some stuff when the song Baby by me comes on radio, what a coincidence.

Faith
Treated my family to crabs yesterday .. shiok. Chili crab, xian dan and gam heong crab.. burst one tiny hole, but nvm, everybody happy can liao.
there was a customer teasing a customer and my mum exclaimed, "is that man drunk? He seems drunk" after a closer look,she went, "oh it's an ang moh" ha, as if the pure fact that the guy seems nothing out of the ordinary if he were an ang moh behaving like a drunk...
in worship today and suddenly 1 thought hit me and God repeated this to me on the topic of prayer by faith. was doing QT these few days and there were statements iike the prayer of a righteousn man is poewrful and effective (James). Then today, it hit me that, if we pray without believing, it's like someone entrusting you on something to do, but yet totally not trusting in your ability to carry out at all. Somemore, it's our creator we are talking about here...
From that moment on, it totally switch my opinion about not having enough faith.

Miss my mandarin
Had lunch with one of my boss today. Pretty inspirational, looks like i need to move up my resolution of getting myself PM certified up in importance and ramp myself up in relevant knowledge asap.
Miss speaking in Mandarin.. only times i speak in mandarin nowadays is at home and with some of my church mates (even then we speak english most of the time). colleagues are all non chinese / non mandarin speaking folks.
看样子， 我的华文会越变越糟。

2009 look back and 2010 resolutions
a bit late i know yes yes, must be thinking, oh come on, it's already wat almost 4 days into the new year and you only start to review and make resolutions? aye, techinically yes and no, i've made them, just it's stuck in my head..
Look back, yeah.. good and bad things, change job, had fantastic friends in PIL, still miss them loads, my bali hol, new env in current co, cell event, think too many to remember, mission trips.
Reviewing my 2009 resolutions.. http://melancholicjoy-mood.blogspot.com/2009/01/re-look-at-my-resolutions-p.html
1) Health, still same, :p manage to hit my target wt one point of time though, just this hols increase back a bit .. damn!
2) spiritual health: not that good in the later half
3) TKD. i aimed a red tip, but i was at red yeah!
So not so bad, manage to meet a bit hehe..
So 2010 resolutions.. not that i totally believe in resolutions and all, but i really feel that having a goal in your life for the year is good, at least you have a direction to head to, instead of just work go home, work go home.. then u start to be depressed end of the year cos you havent achieve anything.. so for 2010!
1) Get back on track with God for my spiritual life. to be more than on track, but on fire. Do follow up with ppl cos i like to and i really care for them like christ would.
2) TKD black belt!! (need to get my training momentum back first though)
3) Hit a new target weight.. hehe..
4) Be PM Certified.
5) Buy a car, not picky, manual opc second hand will do also. it's an alternative form of transpart it should not be my liability. so if i cant save enough to pay off one shot maybe early next year..prefer to pay off one shot, so in case even if i lose my job, i dont need to worry about it.
No 2, 4 and 5 are pretty heavy on expenses though, hope i can do all within the year. that means less socialising and almost zero travelling..
oh well .=)
