  • A Day of Rest

    Having a public holiday in the middle of the week is always quite fun. We visited Clarice’s parents today, with my parents, and it was a nice catch up. Then we went over to Holland Village for lunch, and again, I napped mid day.

    My sleep in the morning has been quite scheduled– I keep waking at 630 and 730, which are my alarm timings. Despite a late night the day before, my body is just awake, and I am moving around getting things done. I do get tired half way through the day, but if I’m in office, the conversations go on, so I don’t have the feeling of napping.

    I am also constantly thinking about the range of people I have to catch up with in the weeks ahead, and scheduling a lot of these meetings in. Maybe that’s what wakes me in the morning.

    Anyway, we had leftovers tonight, and finished up Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. It’s interesting watching Harry Potter when you’re older, and the effects are still as cool to watch. I hope one day I’ll get to watch these shows with my baby.

    or babies, if we have another few.

  • Serendipitous

    It’s another night of me writing these posts on my phone. I can’t type well with one hand even though I have the right keyboards to even attempt it. But it’s also because I give my finger a bit of time to just breathe. It gets waterlogged from the day of plaster use.

    There’s many times in my life when things happen in a series of events, almost as if it’s a movie. Based on my Christian beliefs, that’s where I know God is working through or talking to me through it. A non Christian might call it a serendipitous moment, and I don’t mind it, but I like the idea of God of the universe speaking directly to me a little more. There are definitely times when I know it’s 100% true. Today was one of the times.

    I was questioning many things in my head. Work and vocation thoughts, thoughts about friends and colleagues moving away, and I guess just the passing of time in life. And I even thought, man the work I have to prepare for today is so meaningless.

    The work was to present a teaching session for a Bible teaching, and I wasn’t sure of the place of it in my day to day work. I didn’t really grumble but I just did it with enough effort. Usually I would give 110%, but I gave it 100%; something like that.

    Immediately after the session I reflected, and I realized “meaningless work” was exactly what I had been struggling with through the weekend. I was thinking of next steps, and what else I would end up doing especially with life getting busier and me getting older. This teaching was exactly it. I could not have imagined a better answer for a question that was running in my head for so long.

    In any case, super big revelation, and I’m really glad life has continued in its trajectory. I guess I will see where else God leads me to, and gladly appreciate the serendipitous moments with the God of the universe.
