2 weeks..

in the 2 weeks since i last blogged, so many things have changed:

1. work
metro/grouchy manager left. i must say its a pity he left, cause i think he is really good at what he does, and i can learn a lot from him. but then, work just seems so much less stressful, even though workload increased. no more fears of messing up, even though i still set high standards of not messing up. and this feeling wasnt just shared by me only but by my other colleague in my team too. new jobscope, more opportunities to expose myself to more things. not going to complain abt tt. many new colleagues also left, in come a few new ones. some good, one is just.. makes me feel like im back in army all over again. all the efforts to look good in front of the boss.

2. church
4 years since i became a christian. in school education terms, that will be primary 4. but i accepted a nomination to be a deacon, and has since been voted in. 4 years. am i qualified? do i know what im doing? chris had quite a surprise when i told him that, that im like a certain 27yr old or a 24 yr old trying to run for politics. honestly, i always thought that 4 yrs is way too soon. so why did i do it? the church needed people, and on one else wants to answer the call. so many of them, just very satisfied with being served on sundays, so many of them, just care abt their own lives than the church. i look at the young adults, the supposebly the immediate future of the church. not one. all with excuses. work, cannot work with the pastor, etc. so did i take it up because no one else wants to? it did speed up when i took it up, but i really think that if the church needs me, i can give my whatever i have for it, to make a difference. i know i am not a couch critic unlike many, who criticize and not wanting to do anything to change things. who blames the poor attitude of the members, but they themselves display the same attitudes. someone has to sacrifice first to make changes... who is willing to? not many, not many enough.

3. personal life
i dunno where to start....
