Current going-ons
Sitting at a coffee house waiting for my car to get serviced... A whooping RM 800. Tyres, Bearings, Alignments...
I'm so so broke.
Current going-ons. Few weeks back literally an "old school friend" of mine text me and said something like " Hey, heard you got a gf now. You got band, gf, good job, life must be good right?"
It made me giggle tho. I used to look at people with that type of status and admire them. They seem to have it all. They seemed to be "enjoying the full life of a young working adult. "
I have no complains actually. I count myself blessed to have all this given to me.
Text-ed my friend back something like this which caught me off guard as well. It went something like " Yea, thanks. To be given all these is a bonus, but to maintain it is a challenge."
I realised expectations rise as you venture deeper. In all aspects of life. In church, in relationships, in work. Pretty soon you find yourself rushing here and there, running about, to fulfill someone else's expectation. Just to make sure you don't disappoint someone. I'm talking about everything, don't get me wrong. Church elders, love ones, colleagues, your bosses. And you realise that you can't please everyone, no matter how hard you try to avoid it.
I'm not one who will say " just leave me alone" ... That's a sign of immaturity. But sometimes I just hope for grace, when I miss the mark..
That aside, the trip to Singapore was such a blast. Was thinking of going back there after Christmas, but seem that it might be all blown away when I think of paying for my car later.
Sighs.
The whole saturday to myself. Here am I waiting for my car. Still, it IS a luxury I don't get to taste that often.
