And I'm back!
It has been a long time since my last post on this blog. I admit, Singapore ate me and my time! The time flies so fast in this country. Waking up in the morning at 5:30AM, that is the start of my day, preparing for work, working until 6:00PM and after that, going back home, and when at home, all I want is to rest. To close my eyes, lay may back in the bed. Ooops, I forgot, I also need to eat.
For the past 3 years, this has been my routine, working 5-6 days a week, having a one whole day rest, then the next day, will the start of my work again. It is tough, homesickness, and not everyone will believe this, but working abroad, is not so easy, you are on your own, cook your own food, wash your own dishes, wash your own clothes, iron your own clothes, and, manage your own money, that is the toughest one. But I still consider myself lucky. Why? Because I have my sister with me, my close friends, and family back home who always checks on me and do things that I cannot handle anymore.
For anyone out there who shares the same sentiments as mine, we need to be more positive in life. Pray often, thank God more often, count your blessings rather than counting your shortcomings. Look forward to that day, that all of these hard work will pay off.
So maybe, can you also share with me what is your ideal perfect life? Sharing a simple quote, to lighten up the not so positive post...
A perfect life can’t be found in wealth, for riches can be taken away; not in popularity for popular people can be forgotten; not in beauty for beauty is never permanent; nor in intelligence and talent, for it doesn’t make us a higher creation of God. Instead, a perfect life can be found in contentment with the things we have. From the love we give and from the love we get from the people around us and from belief and faith in God who gives us all the things we need for a perfect life.
