New Job vs Old Path

After days of struggle, finally I've made up my mind and decided to leave my current position.  I'm leaving for a new job but in fact it's an old path.  Joining back the former organisation maybe it's a "NO" to some people, but for me, it's like a reunion.  I've spent almost 7 years of my time there afterall.  When I go back I can get to see many old friendly faces, I'm back to a safe and secured environment.  A role that I'm familiar with and I have confident that I can do the job extremely well. Although I've only spent 10 months in current company, but I get along with the people here very well.  Like my boss says 'You blend in really well!', that's one thing that he's happy to see.  I never thought I'm good in building relationship with others, but since I joined this company, I could really feel that I kinda have the 'gift'.  I'm glad and have to thank God for sending me here when I was jobless.  Thoug...

Black Rain

I feel like the sky can read my mood.  What's with the weather today? Amber rain then black rain right before the end of the day... sigh... My mood is bad enough in these couple of days, does the weather has to make it even worst? I'm just not in the mood... don't feel like to work, don't feel like to eat, tired but don't feel like to sleep... WHY?

...

You were once my good friend. Someone .... - who I could rely on - who accompanied me through tough time - who shared both my sadness and happiness - who felt the pain when I was treated unfairly in a relationship - who claimed never want to see me cry again - who treated me like a princess But why you have to become the one who hurts me the most and makes me cry so much?

Start again!

I like this idea 'Start Again!' Although you know you two have been together for years and since living together for some time also make it hard to do.  It would be much easier if the two person don't live together, and can start all the dating and phone chating.  Most importantly, it requires the two person willing to do this all over again. And I have to thanks my sweetie (you know who) wrote me a long email to share with me her experience.  I'm glad that I'm loved and cared by so many, and I have to thank God who listens to my prayers.  He granted me an answer and I'm happy to follow. I have to quote what my sweetie had wrote and I totally agree. " When I was loss and do not have any answer, I remember the bible verse that says, when I was weak, I was made strong by God. I asked God to give me the strength, the patience and the love.. to protect and keep this relationship going, even when I dunno for sure at that moment, if the partner I have was t...

Is it really meant to be?

Don't you feel sick and tired of 'Cold War'? Why people never learn to cherish what they have around them?  Do people always have to be the 'Winner' in a relationship?  Does it really matter?  Is that so important to some people?  What if that is the last thing you are going to say or that is the last time you are going to see that person?  Will you regret that? Or people simply don't care as they're just so proud and they rather die with their 'PRIDE'. I thought give it time, people will learn or at least realise how fortunate they are.  At least I've learnt from life, from others and from my own past experience.  When I see from the news there are couples quarrel and fight with each other, or even hurt each other.  I would ask a question 'Were they in love once?  There must be something between them to bring the two of them together.  But what makes them change and want to kill each other instead?  If they look back how the...

Volunteering at Crossroads Foundation - 25 June

My colleague Cynthia Leong wrote this beautiful piece after our trip to Crossroad. I would love to share with everyone. "Some people give time, some money, some their skills and connections, some literally give their life's blood. But everyone has something to give." Barbara Bush It is true, we give our time, our money, our skills and our connections to our jobs and our daily lives to help others better their career paths but what about those people who lack the basic living needs including blankets to keep them warm at night and a simple pot to cook their only food in? Things we take for granted in our everyday lives and it made absolute sense for Peoplesearch Hong Kong to spend a day giving our time back to the community that so actively supports those in need across the world. Crossroads International is a non profit organization and a driver of change in the lives of those experiencing extreme poverty in third world countries. Through delivering humanitarian aid, chi...
