Timely advice, gentle reminder

Good news, i have survived the week that was w/o colleague C. Commenting about work, i feel i'm more confident with what i'm doing. Just pray i'll stick to the job and follow through each and every procedure. Today is slow moving which provides a great opportunity to ask myself afew questions, evaluate and make the change.

I dunno about all my other friends working out there like how are they doing cause i don't have much interaction with them. It wasn't like the past where we all lived in close proximity. I miss Uni friends alot. Wish i can talk to them some time soon. Boss has been pretty harsh with her performance evaluation and, as this was my first i was deeply hurt by what she said. It could have been phrased better with more human understanding. Harsh as it is, i will take it and pray about it. There are things to be thankful about even at a time as such for a job, colleagues who hear and church friends who comfort.

Working brings alot of issues with regards to money. It's a sensitive issue and requires lots of understanding and discipline. Right now where Singapore economy sets to look bright by many financial consultants, many do not flinch when it comes to investing. Be it the property market or the shares market. Many are eager to cash in and be part of the hype. I too have fallen victim with me realising my headaches and many times even heartaches are drawn from financial issues. All that hype took charge of my thinking and perspective, forgetting that many pleasures in life will never be earned with monetary gains. Friendship, trust, respect, love from family, knowledge, time... etc. The timely advice and gentle reminder from pastor made me ashamed. Though i cannot assuredly say i am now changed, i have to say its a constant reminder and struggle for me to stay more human, and vigilant to what is being echoed by the media and the majority.
