Count Your Blessings

Sometimes, we worry over so many things that we forget to count our blessings. We have to be aware of our surroundings that other people may be worse off than us and yet many of them still lead a fulfilling life.
For myself, every day I am plagued with the worry that my money is running out very soon because at times, I have problems coping with my family's..or rather my mother's..extravagance needs. Haagen Daaz ice cream to 'cure' her of her tummy aches?! Give me a break! So I freakin' end up spending 23 over dollars. I think going to the doctor will be cheaper than that and it will cure her pronto.
But you know what, it's tiring to think about this every single day and at times, every few hours. Such a big headache. For the last few days, I have been having fever at night which made me lethargic so I end up going to bed earlier.
Then I got this revelation that I shouldn't worry so much and I should start counting my blessings. Im not penniless, for now, and Im still saving up as per usual every day and next month, I will get my bonus as well compared to last year where I was practically borrowing money to tide over the difficult times. Part of the bonus will go back to my savings account to help me cope with the expenses for the next few months. As to how much of it will go there, I do not know since I've got other urgent things to pay as well. I just need to manage my money well by being smart about spending and I think I will be fine. 
When it comes to weight management, that is another area where I am basically so hung up over. I don't eat a lot of things because I have this fear that it's going to affect my overall health being after the health scare few years ago. Although I still won't compromise on my health, though fried food are always appealing, I should take it easy too just like what Mika has advised in his song 'Relax, take it easy'. Even the doctors advise that we must eat all food in moderation by knowing our limit and also inculcate a habit of developing an eating plan. For example, if we eat fried char kway teow today, the next few days we must go easy with our food intake by opting to eat healthier food choices. It's a simple formula though I admit it's easier said than done. Aiyah this whole losing weight process is not easy. You just have to learn to be super disciplined.
We must remind ourselves that life is too short and that we only live once. Problems will always arise whether we like it or not although it's best we don't find them..haha. I can always learn to manage my time, money and health but I have to learn to do it wisely and if I think that I am doing it right, then I should continue to do so and everything will fall into place nicely instead of worrying about it constantly like some fear of the unknown. God will also help us in times of adversities like He always has been.

Being a Teacher isn't Easy

I work with teachers but I'm not a teacher. I actually work in the admin department and I like my job though sometimes it can be challenging especially when I feel swarmed by it. Or when my boss keeps calling me for work related stuffs especially when she is doing the approval for payment or vetting through. So, the headache. Anyway, I can honestly say most teachers are really nice though some are really driving me up the wall. That or they are just simply aint nice but then, it is also because of their personality. But as teachers, they are really dedicated. I also deal with parents and honestly, they can be demanding and very irritating and they are not scared of the higher authority in school. To them, they are being like that all because they care for their children but they are overbearing as if they don't let their children make mistakes and learn. Plus, whatever their children said, they believe every bit of their story though they are not there to see for themselves an...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...

All in A Day's Work

It's funny how people get all flustered when people talk about them like speculating how they may have a crush on someone and they felt hey, these people have no business with me whatsoever so why don't they just shut their gap. But then when they talk about some other people's business like oh, you two should be together, and how's the progress, why don't you see her as someone special, blah blah blah...it's like they have every right to do so. Reality check. If you can talk about others in that manner and in their face like be some frigging matchmaker, why are you being so defensive when others talk about you especially when you air them in facebook? Doesn't make sense to me. If you don't want people to be nosey in your affair, stop airing them over in cyberspace and also don't be that nosey bugger as well coz you obviously hate it when people do that to you. Oh well. Anyway, I was just thinking to myself that at times, while I'm usual...
