Entry: Reminder: be thankful, be thankful, be thankful Sunday, August 02, 2009



I need to constantly remind myself to be thankful of what I have ~rule of happiness #1~

I've had a fun time today during mentor outing @AT house. To be honest, it was much much more fun than what I've expected. I didn't attend the previous one, partly becoz my "no man" behaviour won over my "yes man" behaviour (ref: Yes Man movie, starring Jim Carrey). So this time round, the 2nd mentor outing, I made it a point to attend it *partly bcoz I'm curious to see AT's hse hehehe...*. Anw, bf is in indo for this weekend, attending high sch reunion. So, no agenda for sat nite. 

At first, I agreed with E to leave AT's house by 8pm. But then I got carried away with a mahjong crash course and a super fun but arm-killing Wii game----- a crazy-noisy-drunk-violent-babbling-rabbiD game. I'll surely wanna get this game if I own a Wii set. It was soooo much fun playing this game in a group of 4. So much laughter, shriek, scream and all sort of noises coming out from us. Oh ya, I won my first 2 games of mahjong. Beginner's luck. Too bad we weren't betting hahaaa...

On the way home, I realize that I shd be thankful. Everyth ard me is not so bad after all. Not as bad as what I've felt few days ago. Good thing that my mentor grp still consists of nice n fun ppl. Good thing that I'm still here in the company. Although the pay doesn't really correspond to the workload, it's a good thing that I still have a job with average pay. Good thing, too, that I still get a bonus this yr. Good thing that, at the end of the day, I can still go back to a nice air-con room or chit-chat with my flatmates. Good thing that I have my JC friends as flatmates...... and the list of good things keep snow-balling.... making me even more content with my life.

There are some colleagues who suffer in their mentor group. There are also some friends who have not found a job after few mths of graduation. There are other friends who want to quit their job badly but couldn't get another/ a better job. There are friends who have to live in unfurnished apartment for the time being. All sorts of real life problems out there....

So it's true. Like what my bf said the other day: I have to keep glancing down every now and then. I can't look up all the time. There are many more friends / people with worse life situation than I am. I should be thankful ^^
