Great weekend!!!!

Finally, my parents came back from Australia after visiting my aunt's family and attended my cousin's wedding for a month. After a long week last week, I finally decided to sleep thought the whole saturday. I only woke up about 11am and start my house cleaning and bedrooms arrangement and cooked something light for my parents. After picking them up from airport about 2030, we went home straight and had some very light food. My parents were tired as you can you imagine... they have travelled the whole day. So, we all went to bed after showers and food. hahaha...

Yesterday after morning sunday service, we went to distribute some really nice oranges to our relatives. Oranges brought back from Australia. It's from my aunt's garden. It's BIG and juicy. For a month, this nice fruit reap almost 20 to 30 a day and it's just too many. As one has weighted about 600g, my parents only manage to brought some home. So, we ended up meeting lots of relatives yesterday after church service. hahaha...

This morning, I almost woke up at 6:45am but at the same time, I received sms from this airline telling us that there's a RETIMED (delay, delay lah... RETIMED wa...) from 0930 till 1315. I told my parents and we thought of going to check in after having some food later at about 1030. But at about 0950, my aunt called and told us that we need to check in before 1100. This is ridiculous as it's not stated in the sms nor informed to us when we called to the airline to confirm. Well... what can I say? I really doesn't like this airline since the last fly. So, we went to check in at about 1000 and then we went to KFC at the airport and had our light meal/breakfast. It't relaxing where I had time to chat with my parents... hahahaha...


Well, it's tiring... throughout the whole weekend, but... I really had a great weekend!


Yawn... I really feel like sleeping...

Ponder...

It's a time of reflection these few days of what kind of life I want to lives as. I like law obviously and I like to practice law. It's a waste if I don't practice it after such a hard work. Well, some probably remember that I even wanted to give up on practising law once because I thought, it only means hard work, sleepless nights and so on when I start practising law. Some of my fellow friends would rather do something more corporate in order to feel that they are in business rather than in law. I however, choose to be a litigation lawyer more than anything else. I still remember the life I once lived as a corporate lawyer. Restructuring debts, etc. etc. I even asked to read up about 7 to 9 books in one single day to capture the gists of corporate law, or specifically, capital market.

Lately, I recalled what kind of life I used to lived as and it shocked myself that I actually managed and even enjoyed living that kind of life. It's such a fulfillment and satisfaction when things were done and it's a feeling that's like you have achieved something great and you are smart, you did a good job. I guess that's the reason why people love to be busy at work, always immerse themselves in work, big firm, big company, international firm and company, etc. I guess people are just feeling insecure if they are not in a big and distinct firm because they would be feeling that they are not of a certain standard which will regards them as the BEST.

Well, I am however, tried very much to get away from being in a big and distinct firm. Not that I do not like it. I love it. I still love it today. I still thank God for placing me there and I still wish I can get into some really good, big and distinct firm. However, i rather to get away with it because no one can serve 2 Gods. I love my job, yes... But I love my God even more. That I am certain of. As I challenge my cell members to put their priority right this week, I too being challenged as I really wanted to focus on the right thing at the right time. I can be very rich one day if I continue to practice law. Most likely, give me another 2 years and I shall be able to buy new house, my dream car, being rich, etc. But all over a sudden these few weeks, I just felt insecure if I am filled by all these. What will I gain from achieving all these? What sorts of life I really wanted to lives? Answer... I have roughly got the question answered ...

Busy day!

My deepest condolences to my friend Annie for the demise of her father yesterday. A day before, while both of us were having lunch, we were talking about not sure how our lives will be the day after. The reason being... her father will be transferred to Queen Elizabeth Hospital from Labuan general hospital and we know that she will be very busy. She did asked if I can help her with transport, but unfortunetely, I was called up Bishop for a meeting. So, we were both wondering what our lives will be on the following day.

I ponder over the issue regarding not only life and death, but also how little thing we can predict and handle. It's our lives, it's our decision, it's our father, it's our car, etc. But yet, we still have to wait for the 'time' to come in order to KNOW exactly what's going on. We can try out very best to imagine, but the fact might not be the same.

Well, I woke up this morning knowing that there are few things I need to rushed for as it was suppose to be done yesterday but due to come unforeseenable circumstances, I didn't manage to finish it and so this morning, I was rushing things crazily and even the other side of the lawyer got tense and rushed things together with me. hahaha...

I am seriously tired today. A team from FCC came over for 3 days to give concert to 2 churches in Sabah. They have been bugging me crazily about the albums, etc. I just couldn't bother much as I was rushing things. But the more I didn't want to answer their calls, they keep calling as if I owe them a thing or two. I guess they are a group of young people if not kids that they didn't know how busy a working person can be. I was meeting client, I was drafting an agreement, I was issuing a cheque to someone who's waiting for me, etc. But they just keep calling without stopping. Ghoosh... not sure if they want to be labled as "nuisance" but I hope not. I didn't owe them anything. I said I will pass the album, I will pass the album and arrangment was made with relevant party.

It's difficult to deal with these kind of people already. On top of that, I couldn't deal with him today as it's one of the most busy day of the week. Goodness...!!!

Anyway... this week, 2 groups of friends will be going to KL. My parents will come back to Sabah from Perth this Saturday. This week is going to be busy. But another week, I will go back home for a (hopefully) good holiday.

Yo.
