Unpredictable ...

After practice last night, I continue to do my work for a client. There is no obligation for me to finish the work earlier but I can sense that the client will be delighted if I finished the work earlier. So, i finished working on that piece of work until 3am morning. Hence, I plan to get up a little bit late this morning and go to bank to collect my cheque book and to bank in a cheque. While I was still sleeping, a phone rang... even before my alarm clock.... I recognised it's that particular client's number. His secretary called and wanted to see me this morning. So I made my way there. Spent about an hour and two in his office to go through things with him. Well, he did introduce some business to me, that's important. When I got back from meeting, I rushed a few things and another client dropped by. After that meeting, it's already 3 in the afternoon and I need to rushed to the Bank. While I was on the way to bank, I forgot a very important thing that need to be settle today. That's 2 court cases tomorow. Without choice, I called my partner to settle it for me.

Well, life is so unpredictable. Whatever we planned, it might not turn out to be what we expected. I planned today's schedule so well but it ended up spoiled by one 2 minutes phone call.

A friend seems not being able to accept a fact that her life is going to change due to a decision that another party made. Well, indeed it is not easy to accept a fact, but... we must be brave to face it. I don't really like the way things turned out this morning either. But I was given no choice but to continue with it. Re-plan the whole schedule again, rushed for it, etc. Well, it is not so difficult to go through it, but it is difficult to go through it happily. But if we are not given any choice, why not? Yes?

There will be many similar situation happen in our life, be it a serious or a mild one. But, the concept is the same. To be able to go through it easily, happily, the main ingrediant is GOD. So, ya... I guess.. when we focus on God, we will be fine.

Feelings....

I was sitting there after talking to a friend who called me from KL about an hour ago and just ponder over what she told me for about 30 minutes. During that 30 minutes of pondering, my mind wander for what happen in the past 2 days. I received many good news and also equally quantify of bad news for the past 24 hours. Good news includes a friend's wife is pregnant, a friend passed his Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP), a friend is getting married next month, I have many clients to meet and business is still going on and so on. Bad news includes someone's baby boy is in ICU, a friend is asked to act as persecuting officer to persecute a friend, my guitar's bridge broke and need repairs, firm has only enough to cover for next month expenses and so on and so forth.

My emotions is challenged in the sense. I am pretty pre-occupied this week, from morning till late night. With works, meeting clients, reading, researching to attending many other church ministires, i.e. prayer meeting, sunday worship practice, Mooncake Harvest festival worship practice, Mooncake harvest festival Rehearsal and so on. A moment ago I still think I can rest after Sunday service, but I just remember that next week, I will start my cell group meeting. I manage to recruit about 17 people to join my cell group. I need to prepare 20 sets of songsheets and many other things like a good ice-breaker and supper and so on. Before the cell group, I will have a prayer meeting to attend on the first day of the week.

While I was meeting my client yesterday morning, my mother called me (I received 2 missed call in my cell phone when I got back to my office) and asked me to help her with booking tickets to KL because my brother's whole family are suffering from food poisioning.

2 days ago, a client walked in to my office and passed me a file. I was asked to go through that half way through case to see if I can continue with it. Well, by looking at it, it is a normal litigation file. High Court cases with regards to company law, construction law and dafamation. I ran through it one time after prayer meeting, then another time the next morning, and I called them for discussion to find out more. But the client left KK already. So, I called them and they asked me to call the Plaintiffs directly, which I think is fair. I called and the Plaintiffs seems doesn't really want to give more for us to do our works. What I mean more is that, he doesn't even want to pay for the usual deposit that we asked for. I am quite fed-up with his attitudes to be honest. Well, we have words from their previous lawyers months ago when my partner met them in court that this client hardly pay. So, .... I cracked my head for another day. Today, I ran through that documents again and well, basically, there's nothing much I can go through because all the cause papers are with the previous lawyers. So, ... I wasted 2 to 3 days to read through all those things and I just typed a letter to reject them.

With so many things in my mind, I realise one thing... that I am not exactly feeling sad, disappointed, discouraged, not happy nor happy, encouraged, feeling life is complete and etc.

What I am trying to tell you is that... I have a mixual of feelings in me that I myself cannot understand whether it is good or bad. TOO many things is happening to me....

On the contrary... my partner is so free and easy. She just took the pay cheque for this month and disappear for today. I did told her that we need more business. Well ... I guess she will takes about a week or two to really do something about it. hahaha...

My clerk... just to update you... she is sitting there from morning until now... reading ... her photocopied cooking books. ... So, I asked myself, why am I the only one 'worry' about this firm? hmmm.. may be because my partner has other business and my clerk has a husband and I do not have both of that? hai....

Week-end!

Ya...this week in the office is ending. Another 1 and a half hour and I will be packing my stuffs and go back home for 2 days. Ops... Home - KK home lah. Not that I am going back to Tawau even though a very important friend is getting married tomorrow (23.09.2006). Well, I was so busy this morning with auction to attend, issuing letters, post letter, drafting of documents, etc and I just realise, if my partner is not meeting clients outside, she wouldn't have much to do in the office. hahaha... we have divided our works suiting our characters well. She is an 'outsider' and I am more willing but to attend court and auction and back to office type. Well, I hope this will continue and that she will bring more business in so that I can do more works in the office.

Well, nothing much happening here. My saturday will be a relaxing one with NOTHING is on. May be I will try to get something and make some soup tomorrow and that's all. hahaha... so, ya... TGIF!!!!
