The Opera Populaire

Was made boss of the day when both my parents went for meeting at another dealer's place. Hmm think my life has become such a bore by now that anything out of the ordinary can amuse me hahaha. Easy-peasy work, or shall I just call them errands. Just pay some bills, allocate some documents, sign some documents... then spend my time basically making sure that the workers were doing their jobs and doing something abt the termites that kept attacking our water bottle box. The folks allowed me a rare freedom of finding my own lunch since they couldn't be back in time. So I walked to the next block and bought something. They asked me afterwards why din I just get someone to go buy for me. Urgh...is this country really so dangerous?? Maybe I'm just too naive then.

My years in S'pore had made me into an independent girl. Even having prayed and tried to prepare for coming back into a place where the culture is different had not prepared me enough. Think my folks get a headache abt me becos I'm always aching to fly away, unable to be a nice homely gal for long. Sometimes I think that if I'm staying here for good I'll seriously consider finding someone to marry just so that I dun die of loneliness and oso for a certain sense of freedom. Not trying to say that the folks are imprisoning me! Haha, but yeah I know those are self-demeaning thoughts and I believe God will help me find a niche here should I decide to come back for good, like teaching in some of those international schools sprouting all over Jakarta.

Meanwhile, still struggling and praying abt my direction in life. Ok, I must confess that I haven't been as diligent in praying about it as I ought to be. I am tired of waiting, but wait I must. Gracie wrote about waiting. Yeah, like all fellow quarter-lifers, I am waiting. Waiting for a job that will teach me a lot as well as allow me to fulfil my purpose in God. Waiting for spring to come. Waiting for that "one moment in time". How can I wait joyfully, in the manner that pleases Him and in a way that can be a blessing to the people around me? I am learning.

But I still thank God that my energy level is very high today. Woke up early, did my morning Pilates stretches and then did more work the whole day than I ever did here. Upon reaching home, was very eager to clean up the house. With my current energy level, I won't be surprised if I managed to scale Mount Kinabalu ;) Ooh, anybody can spare some time to go travelling with me? Do drop me an email or MSN me okies...
