Everyday there's a war raging inside me.
I don't know about you, but today my dad gotta leave home at 6.30 (which I don't intend to wake up so early and slack in the office) so I woke up and told him I'll go work on my own later. So I went back into dreamland, alarm rang, my dad called to wake me up again at 7.20a.m.
I myself knew that I need to leave my house by 7.30a.m in order to reach the office on time. But even though it was 7.20a.m I still laze on my bed, and really reluctant to go to work. There is this battle between my emotion (feelings) and responsibility (my work).
I'm sure most of us face such battles in our everyday life, I'm not just talking about waking up, but the decisions you make everyday. I'm not gonna elaborate more but if you need more about that, you may visit

Make up your mind NOW!".

My brother Dennis got his most memorable birthday present ever! He got sick... on his birthday. Well, most of us would go awww~ but I see that as an opportunity to rest, a valid reason to get away from this fast pace society.
Of course being sick doesn't make you feel happy, in fact it makes you weary and feel terrible but without sickness, how do you cherish times of being healthy? Its a contrast, everything is a guideline to how you judge things around you.
Talking about my brother, remember I bought him cuff links? (refer to the birthday post if you don't). So for like yesterday, I kept thinking about those cuff links I saw and man, they are nice. And then, this morning a thought struck me, like why am I being obsess with it? I mean, they are expensive and I've got no use for it, might as well as use the money to do something meaningful.
And I realise, I haven been giving back to the society, we think of our working pay as 'we deserve it' and its ours. But lets look at working in another way, think of working as providing help for your boss/company/etc... and the pay you are getting as a
GIFT for helping out. When we help, we
don't EXPECT a
REWARD.
And in another sense, this
GIFT gives us financial aid. So shouldn't we give thanks by returning part of it back into the society? Sharing your present (just like sharing a box of chocolate on valentine's) with others that don't have it? Its a joy for being able to share.
Anyway bro, take good care of yourself, pray for healing, remember to rest well and get well soon! God bless.
(and oops, I've spent about an hour on this post, gonna get back to work).
