WHO I AM ‘09
Seasons past away, time flies, and we move on. Many things changed.
2009, I am very much a change person, once again. Many thing used to be the priority, now has become secondary. And, those which is not in the initial list has rooted a place in my mind and my time, demanding attention…
So, I felt it only make sense if I reintroduce myself with the new perspective in the profile. Of course, you can still read about my past here.
Origin
I’m brought up in a small town at the South end called Melaka. I spend most of my childhood day dreaming about what I will be when I grow up and I try my very best to ensure each step taken will be relevant to who I will be. I desire success.
Current
I’m like a piece of triangle setting on a journey. Along the way, I found a green pasture, which is comfortable for me to stay on for a while. Of course, I (the triangle piece) have found someone along the way to form a more complete form. This new form helps during the moving forward. However, the new form also has the danger of falling backward if one is not careful. Lots of coordination to work on.
So, my life now is about getting use to my new form and setting a new direction to move on.
[GOD]
Remain as the unchanged role in my life, maybe stronger. He is the One I rely, clings on solely for most things in life (if is still within my power to choose and decide).
[Life]
Job + Career has become the less priority to me now; although one of my closest teacher has recently pointed to me I am too workaholic. If I do not learn how to rest, I will wear out in 10 years time. So, I am putting a real rest to many things now.
Creating things were still a major part of me. Yet, it has come to bare necessity, nothing luxury.
Instead, this is a season of collecting, drilling on new knowledge, new focus and perspective. So, I will be reading a lot and experimenting in different form of creation.
What’s out?
- Taking a break from teaching but simply attending group exercise class. I have gone further than my initial plan, and I am grateful for the experience I have with my dear participants.
- Desire for nice photos is down to only necessity – I prefer to be in the picture than holding the camera. LOL.
- Traveling – I need a break from taking flight. Not a fan for any airport and the smell in the flight.
What’s in?
- Reading, reading and reading
- Cooking, eating, workout and living healthily
- Gardening – I have green fingers
And…
Finally, I still treasure every opportunity, experiences and peoples that I met. You enable me to count my blessing daily with great gratitude.

Hey dear,
Just dropping you a comment here since it’s been ages since we last caught up and like you, I have also made some changes with my life too. (One of which is temporarily deactivating my Facebook account so I free up more time to focus on the important things in my life.)
I’m glad you are reviewing and taking stock of your life right now. Seems both our lives in 2009 has gone by in a flurry, but in reflection this can also be a good thing cos we learn from it, yes?
You wrote here — “this is a season of collecting” — and somehow I think I know what you mean. I’m letting go of a lot of unnecessary and non-essential things in my life, and not just material things. The tough part is unlearning so I can learn anew what is important and what is meaningful, and “collecting” these bits and bobs of new wisdom along the way.
And I am impressed that with your humility here, you are not being modest for the sake of being modest… you can be honest with your personal ambitions too (“I desire success.”) and that’s yet another thing I need to work on. Being honest about what I want. And acting on it. I guess I’m sick of making promises to myself I don’t keep.
Here’s to the next stage in our lives, dear. Be well and prosper.
*hugs*
Hey Kenny,
Thanks for making the effort to keep me “in touch” despite of your busy schedule. I am deeply grateful. *Hugs*
Hmm… I surely miss your smile, as always…
Many things has changed, and I hope it was towards the better. I hope the same for you. Whatever changes and decisions we make, enjoy it…just as you once said…”it is the journey, not the destination”
I like a quote…
“Do not regret something that once make you smile”
I certainly believe some “unnecessary and non-essential” things has contributed to the next level I am moving toward…that of course included the beautiful “empty promises” that I don’t keep. But hey…I think we deserved a pat on the sholder on those “extra” we did which is not in the initial list but has make an important impact to others, as well as our life.
And yes…be well and prosper to our next “attempt” over the next stage in our life. ^_~
I will always keep you in my prayer.
*hugs*
I miss your smile too.
