I've been living life close to that of a 'Tai Tai' lately... going out, shopping, eating, having afternoon drinks with friends, watching movies... While I am enjoying all these, I also know that this can't go on for long... so I am also actively looking for a suitable job. Things aren't looking too bad for now... and hopefully it will get better...
Funnily, it's amazing how timely it is sometimes... Last Friday, I recieved a sms from Elaine saying that she needs people for the choir for the Mass for the Tsunami victims, that was to be held across all Catholic churches in Singapore. I decided that since I was free, I would go down to help. The mood was pretty sombre and while I was praying, I was reminded again and again that human life is fragile... it's so volatile... And thus, what the church has been telling us makes sense. That we should not be too concerned about our stay on earth because it's only temporal. We should be concerned with making our way to the Kingdom of God.
While reflecting on that, it gives me comfort. Comfort because the obstacles and difficulties we face in life, becomes a part and parcel that's no longer everything. Life goes on for me even after leaving my job... No big deal, just look for another one because I keep telling myself that there's a reason why things happen. Let His will be done.
On Saturday, my maid found out that her dad passed away. Once again I was reminded that human life is fragile. My mum decided to let her go home to Indonesia for a visit... for about ten days. That would mean that I will be required at home more, to fix meals for my granny and my dad. Both lunch and dinner... Amazingly, if I were working, I wouldn't be able to cater to that... But guess what? Me no working no more... Heheh...
So I can't help but keep telling myself that there are bigger plans for me out there... because I'm taken care of...
