Listening Laughing Loving
I know I have not been posting much, however I had been reading friends’ blog on a regular basis. I miss writing in my own blogs, but alas, I just couldn't set aside enough time for doing just that.
In the meantime, here's a simple poet I came across from the Internet and I dedicate this poem with glad feelings to everyone!
Each day we struggle to keep up with our daily lives,
We have families and jobs and responsibilities we must stay on top of,
People depend on us.
There are "things that need to get done".
BUT WAIT!
Stop. Take a breath.
And just old one one darn second!
In the moment of time it will take you to read this, you could:
Send an email to friend you haven't had time to catch up with;
Make a phone call just to say, "I love you!"
OR
"I hope you have a wonderful day!".
Hug that precious "baby".
Say a prayer of thanks for all you have.
OR
Give yourself a pat on the back in appreciation for all YOU do.
Maybe we don't always remember to take a minute for the "little things".
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
Life is short, and the lawn will continue to grow well after we're no longer around to mow it.
There will always be bills to pay, mouths to feed, laundry, windows and cars to wash.
Those that care about us won't sit around "the old camp fire" and reminisce about ability to multi-task better than the rest or our taskmaster greatness.
Hopefully they will remember us by the time we spent:
Listening, Laughing and Loving.
Wishing all is well with whatever you are doing now and I wish myself a "not too busy days" to come!
"Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you". Psalm 55:22 NKJV

A Farewell
Fare Thee Well Dear Friend
Tonight I will bade my long-time colleague-cum-friend a “farewell”. I know it will be a sad and sentimental moment of my life to see her go after more than 30 years working and playing together.I started my career in 1978 joining the department she was in and since then we have been together, basically. In 1990 I was seconded to another oil and gas company called Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd, Lutong and was there for about 4 years. Then in 1996 during the recession year, both of us were assigned to a different department for about 5 years (I think.. sorry Yian Ching my memory bank koyak already!!) and thereafter back to the same department again!
(One of our photos taken together: Seated in front is me) L-R: Sung Wah, Yian Ching, Iris Lai and Christian Chung Fhui Khen)
We’ve seen our children grown and with me having grandchildren. We’ve been through the trials and tribulation together in our career life, however we worked on remembering the good and quality times instead of the opposite. And yes! How time flies and the next thing we know, its time to say “goodbye’.
I guess it is going to be a relief for her to at last let go of her career tasks and enjoy the freedom of doing something different as she retires. I hope she enjoy her new life!
To you my dear friend, I wish you God’s endless blessings, all the best in your every undertakings and I hope you have a perfect day always.
