BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE

An easy sentence but not easy to do. Heck most of the time we are complain about our lifes. That was what happened to me these past few weeks. Everyday I complained about where I was (Rasa), my problems with relationships, the place where I stay, the place where I work (somehow it's all Rasa.......haha). It took me just a few days ago to realise, hey Aaron stop complaining!!

I should be happy that I have a nice place to stay for free.....no rental, not even utility fees........

I should be happy cause I'm now in a church that is so caring.....

I should be happy cause I have so many brothers and sister who really care about me........

I should be happy !

JUST ONE PERSON

I heard this song on youtube recently....a great reminder to believe in yourself. Oddly this song came from a musical called Charlie Brown (you the one with Snoopy) but I heard it during a Jim Henson's memorial sung by the Muppets.....The lyrics are cool

Just One Person

If just one person believes in you,
Deep enough, and strong enough, believes in you...
Hard enough, and long enough,
It stands to reason, that someone else will think
"If he can do it, I can do it."

Making it: two whole people, who believe in you
Deep enough, and strong enough,
Believe in you.
Hard enough and long enough
There's bound to be some other person who
Believes in making it a threesome,
Making it three.....
People you can say: believe in me....

And if three whole people,
Why not -- four?
And if four whole people,
Why not--more, and
more, and
more....

And when all those people,
Believe in you,
Deep enough, and strong enough,
Believe in you...
Hard enough, and long enough

It stands to reason that you yourself will
Start to see what everybody sees in
You...

And maybe even you,
Can believe in you... too

ONE MONTH and COUNTING

Gosh, has it been that long? I've actually survived one month in this place. Woo Hoo!!! Bring out the wines, beers, booze.......but wait nobody to drink with -_-

Haha I'm actualy proud of myself for able to survive here. Mind you it's a really small town. It's much much smaller than Nibong Tebal. Heck I think it's smaller than Kampar for that matter. But I've made accustomed to this place I guess. You cannot imagine how I always wanted to travel out of this place at night to the bright lights in KL but after 2 weeks, I was already getting bored of travelling there. I have come to love Rasa (or trying to at least). Staying alone is a bit of a struggle but I got use to it. Things I have learnt about myself throughout this month.

1) I can cook! Surprisingly, I have learnt how to cook simple dishes and also experimented with some new dishes. I'm extremely proud of my fried rice.......first time around the rice actually can be eaten.

2) I love working out. Yes, I have been working out and actually lost 1 kg after 2 weeks. It's a start somewhere, but more pounds to shed before Christmas..........

3) I am losing my fear of heights. For those who know me long, I have a fear of heights. I can woozy and woobly when I stand near ledges. However, in my job here, I have to climb 40 feet or climb down into dark chambers for inspection. Haha I still feel woobly but at least I can climb.

Other than that, I'm glad to have make some good friends already at work. My boss is a great friend to be with. You are friends with your boss! And why not? He's great! No I'm not polishing his boots, he's just a nice guy to be with. Next is Ms Tan, our faithful HR assistant in the office. We gossip about everything haha (sorry kakak). As for my personal life.....it's hard being away from dear.....but we are trying hard to keep in touch with one another (looking forward to this weekend..yipee!)I miss Ben bro, bro, lil bro and lil sis a lot haha (who is who?) but thank God they keep updating me about the CF (let go right) and their lives. I'm still looking for an avenue to continue to serve students here but it seems God has other plans for me..more about that later......
