I have always been a person who enjoys planning. In fact, I spent quite a bit of my time planning my finances, my time, my future plans and etc. God however has different plans and the phrase that captured me today is "we must die to our expectations and entrust them to God" 

Learning to be like the bible heroes that says "Teach me what I cannot see" (Job 34:32). 

Of this I can be sure, although I may not know the reason for things that happened, as long as He is in control I can be rest assured that it is in good hands.

But I am poor and needy;

Yet the LORD thinks upon me. 

You are my help and my deliverer; 

Do not delay, O my God.

July has been quite a month. 

• 2 colleagues from my team resigned. 
• To complete my Advance Certificate assignment
• Submission of postgraduate related application
• Replacing others in ikids 

Nevertheless, this month has been a month of new experience. Because my colleagues have resigned, I am forced to learn new stuff in a rapid pace. My postgraduate application also brought me new encounters that makes me thank God for my nation. To think that another country is more organised, I guess, whether a country is efficient or not will depend on the people. Efficient people at all ranks will lead to efficient services to the people. 

A few take home lessons that I learned along the way.

1. To be once again reminded on what a supportive family I have.
2. My lecturers in TARC really put the student interest above theirs. Their willingness to go the extra mile for the students. A virtue that should be with all teachers. 
3. I have been blessed with great bosses and colleagues. My supportive "father" and "mother" in office. 
4. Malaysians are a loving bunch of people and its easier to deal with them. 
5. Some people are just a pain. Charging you unnecessary. To that Dude that took my RM95. I forgive you because God forgave me more than the RM95 you took from me. 
6. Ladies always have a warm heart. To the lady that went the extra mile to assist me in my application, I know you are God sent. May God bless you and your family for your special touch. 
7. God answers at His own timing. He looks at the heart and not at my hands or my capabilities. 

I wanted to have a break quite badly in July that I took quite a number of leave. All because I had to run errands but last weekend managed to organise a mini-outing to Frasers staying at Sri Damai (HSBC's Bungalow). The place is awesome and the 7 of us had a great time! Strangely, I am hanging out with people that are at 17 years my senior. Gosh! They must really think I am quite childish in whatever I do. 17 years is a big big gap. That's all the way from kindy, to primary education and even completed secondary school. Well, I still feel quite old because they are more agile compared to me so yeah age does not matter I guess. 

It was a good outing with lots of walking, hiking and outdoors. Uncle Wong the caretaker compensates all our exercise with huge and tasty meals. So it was a laid back holiday and I am looking forward to the next. I think I am addicted to travelling. I just love holidays.....
