Not literally, mind you... a pretty darn ups n down filled day today it was...
This afternoon I was probably at the peak of my patience treshold... All it took was one more little prick & I knew I would lose it. So I went off during my lunch break as soon as I can. I knew I needed to cool down.
Feeling troubled & at a loss, off I went for a one hour break. Funny...I hate to admit it but I'm feeling sick. Tired. Weak.
The beauty hall (what they call the cosmetics department) doesn't seem very beautiful at all. Just 3 months on job & it is beginning to become unbearable. I do too wonder... Is it worth it to go on working in an unhealthy environment? Where people can smile at you in a moment, & the next minute can just treat you like you're invisible? Treat you like an enemy?
Those cold eyes are starting to get a grip on me unknowingly. I remember one passage when Jesus told His disciples to shake the dust off their feet if a town doesn't welcome them. So I ignored them & went on my way, thinking that hey, at least my own counter colleagues are okay :')
Well, that is not the case either but hey, no one is perfect right? I have many shortcomings too...
As much as I hated to do so, I finally admitted to myself today- that I was letting my emotion control me. A little voice in my head was telling me that. Stubborn as usual, I didn't like it but deep down I knew it was right. I was unable to control even my own emotion :(
Perhaps God is teaching me humility, because in my times of weakness, when I am powerless...that is when I would reach out to Him earnestly...humbly... I called to Him for help.
I don't know how but He lifted me up. I feel lighter. Now that I think about it, I was probably carrying a burden that I don't need to. That moment I know, He is there. I told myself, dear self, how doubtful can you get?
One thing I know though & what I repeated in my head over was this:
I am weak but You are strong,
I am a coward but You give me courage,
I am insignificant but You love me
Honestly I still cannot comprehend fully the love of God, I don't even though if I ever will. The future is uncertain, but I'm glad that the past, present & future is in His hands.
Just that is enough for now :')

New Place
My eyes are closing but before going to sleep, just had to express these mixed feelings of mine... :)
Just yesterday my bro & I moved to a new place. The room was a lil bigger than what I remembered it to be (good thing it is, phew* with all the stuff we brought in lol!).
My sis arranged for movers & they were scheduled to come at 1.30pm. I woke up only around 10am haha... well, I guess it would have been ok if I have already finished packing my stuff...I have not finished even by 4am the "night" before & so I gave up & went to bed...
Anyway that morning, guess what? It was raining.. (no wonder it was so hard to get up, lol) Movers called & informed us that they will be an hour late. Honestly we didn't mind because there was still quite a bit to pack.
In the midst of packing our belongings into the boxes, we then realized that we needed 2 more extra boxes & two luggage bags. We have at least 5 extra boxes...the thing is that it is not included in the quotation! ...so my sis called the movers to inform them & ask them for a re-quote due to additional items. Surprisingly they did not charge us for the additional items~ yay! Thank you Jesus! ^^
We were very happy because in fact before we engaged this particular mover's company, my sis actually confirmed another company several days in advance. Let's call em Mover A. The price they quoted us in fact was more expensive (At that point of time we did not bother to compare the rates too much) which is still acceptable - apparently Mover A is supposed to be a established company.
Here comes the irritating part - Days before the actual day, we revised our pick-up list & added a few cartons & stuff. We would not be surprised for a revised price quotation but what turned us off was the staff's attitude. To cut the story short my sis felt that her tone of voice & choice of words were unnecessary, her attitude towards the situation was downright unprofessional. My sis already paid them the deposit, so maybe they thought that they could push us around...
Well, too bad for Mover A. We cancelled our booking with them & engaged Mover B instead. And guess what? We still save $50 :) Not to mention that later on we still added some last minute items hehe... =P
Everything turned out ok :)
Just a little tired from all these stuff until this afternoon. So happy! The packing & moving & unpacking & cleaning is over with! (Well, for now at least)
After some household-stuff shopping, ended the trip with a 1 hour foot massage ^^ A very good relief for my aching feet, mostly from standing for long hours.
Tired, sleepy, last but not least, content :)
God bless you all
Till next time, jia ne~
