我是凡人

I was asked by an elder to do a write up about the changes in my life, since the passing of NS buddy, Jason about one and a half years ago. I will try to keep it short as some of these things will be featured in the press interview that I have given to Lianhe Wanbao.

His passing was quite sudden. I was in a bit of shock at first, but I was able to compose myself and mapped out what I wanted to do. His passing dawned to me that life is something that is short and fragile which can be taken away from you at any monent.

I set out to look for a new job that will appreciate me for what I am, hoping to find job satisfaction. I am glad that I have found it, as it is difficuit to find many colleagues whom you are able to work with so well.

My second goal was to enhance my life with more friends, since I felt that I was not able to do much socialising in my past job was taking up most of my free time as well. It has been an enlightening experience as I got to know many people from various walks of life. Though there were minor misunderstandings among people, I guess it is common when people get together. I am actually enjoying myself helping out with the organising of KTV events. At the same time, a special someone may just pop up. It has also taught me to take a more relaxed approach about my life as sometimes when things are planned too far ahead, things do happen that scupper your plans.

It also made me realise who my friends really are. As a  family friend puts it, there is no need to be angry with someone when one is jealous of your success. You can minus the person from your friends’ directory.

It has also made me realise that I am able to do things well, despite my shortcomings. The question is whether I want to do it or not. :p
