First day at work and it felt almost fantastic. Had one of the worst night yesterday, itching with bad rashes and sleeping on the hard-sofa on the living room because the air conditioner in the Master Bedroom was not working. Certainly not what you want to feel the day before you start work (unofficially) and when you are facilitating a big workshop for the team. I was restless when I woke up at 5am, then again at 545am and finally forcing myself to be wide awake at 630am so that I can join the rest of the clan to leave at 715am, just in time for the 8am morning roll call at site office.
I’ve got the same question thrown to me when I reached office, ‘How’s married life been for you?’. I answered with a wide grin on my face, and they all walk away, nodding gleefully. Had it not been for this particular workshop this morning, I guess I would still be lazying at home with hubby watching 24 on his 17” computer screen. But I needed the brain exercise after 3 weeks of work disorientation, and too much partying in Krabi. So here I am again, in the much exciting Pasir Gudang this morning, and in Senai Airport now waiting for my flight back.
There is so much in my mind right now that when I am rambling on, I certainly am clueless about what should be said and done. There is so much I want to be thankful off, from a big wonderful family I have to the great amazing family that have accepted me as part of their life, to the much loved colleague who would call the night before just to check whether I have arrived safely in Johor. Sometimes we take things for granted. Sometimes we are ignorant about things that are just right there in front of us, as we seek for greater things to boast about.
It’s great to sit by yourself at a small corner of the coffee house and take a good reflection of your life, for that’s when your mind is at ease and your thought just started flowing excessively. That’s when you started thinking about things that happen, and make sense of everything that did not.
I believe that everything has a purpose in life. Things happen for a reason. And for that reason, I am thankful. God loves me dearly.
