Treasure for you never know when changes come

Perhaps there has been too much going on within these few weeks... you never know how packed my schedule in Hong Kong can be. Morning-wise, as in the good old school days, I am working in the new company for a governmental project, which involves reading both Hong Kong and the Chinese legal system. The only difference is that now you are working in a working desk compared to a study table. Fruitful life it is, but a lot of things to think and work. I suppose this was what I always desire so I am extremely grateful of what I am going through.

So, gone are the days of a developer and upcoming a life as a Business Analyst. Still studying French, playing the organ, teaching kids and organizing stuff... this is my life in Hong Kong. As far as holiday is concerned, I would really want to fly. Guess my bonding with Cathay Pacific is going to go on for a bit of time. Let's just hope my frequent flyer tier will keep on the same. I still have 5620 miles to fulfill it (have to squeeze time to get it!)

Marching through life with all the busy stuff, I finally understand the importance of leisure and the flying procedure. Having a passion to aircraft is one thing but enjoying the procedure from taking the taxi to HKG to taking the taxi back home after the trip is an essence to recharge yourself. I guess I am grateful for all that is given. But as you grow up, one thing we have to bear in mind is to treasure! Treasure your parents, family, friends and those around you. I recall a good friend of mine from Bloomberg told me that "We can go to (a place) once, we will never have the chance to go together anymore." I thought he was a bit too realistic then, but now I think it is more than a fact, it derives to our life of treasuring time with others.

Another thing I have re-learnt is not to demand for what you want. Life gets frustrated so easily if you want things to go "your way". Go with the flow and perhaps something will come up. An example: My French class for Saturday clashed with my new work coz I have to work on Saturday AM too but then the class stopped and the decision was made to make me a Friday PM French student. Now, this brings to my second thought of continuous learning in life. Such life is hard but it is a necessity because our world is changing too much. Upon completion of my French Superiour Degree, my next aim is the Asian language of Japanese and the European language of German. This will take another 5 years or so but hopefully I will master these languages soon. Again, these moments have to be treasured and it is quite tough but prayers from you all is a necessity.

To all those in CX who is suffering from no-pay leaves and to all those who are in the devastation of not having jobs or being fired: my prayers to you and may the Holy Spirit guide you through in choosing the right things and finding a right way to your career accordingly.

Enjoy life...
