back here after hearing from a friend

a surprise note from a friend triggered me to start writing again... so much has happened in recent years or even, simply months, weeks and days..

reflecting on these years, God's plans through life lessons continue to be beyond imaginaton, prediction, but most importantly, always beautiful!

if anything major that has happened, it would be a decision to step into a foreign industry to start from scratch.. i've made a huge career switch in terms of industries and with the education i fought so hard to get myself through!

this has come more challenging that i ever thought, and at each hurdle, i prayed hard and more for faith and wisdom! and each time i thought i was out of range, somehow, miraculously, i'm actually still in!! in terms of training, i believe this has been one of the steepest learning curves i've encountered.. once again, it brings me to reflect:

"when you step out of your comfort zone, perhaps, a circle of familiarity or certain expertise and step into another, what you've done before no longer matters, because you learn from the beginning in a new place, acquire new knowledge, and build from a first brick all over."

i find it real tough, because for me to learn the industry, it's as challenging as for me to learn maybe tamil? or some foreign language!! some stuff seem like general common knowledge, but to me it's like decoding a bar code with a naked eye!! hahaha.. but, somehow, while it can be real tough, it's amazingly quite a great feeling to be acquiring new knowledge! in fact, i rarely appreciate learning this way!!

abit lame.. but.. has anyone ever watched a super lame show called "galaxy quest"? it's super crappy.... but even from the crappiest shows, some lines can make an impact... and that is, "never give up, never surrender" hehehe.. abit cold lah... but.. i do believe it's an attitude of perserverence and persistence to achieve.. or complete a purpose, a reason.. or just whatever you wanna do! i may not be the brightest, but.. trying is a good start!! =)

and as with all situations, i thank God for His grace in walking me through the valleys and mountains, and most of all the beautiful people He has placed along the way to give me care, kindness, love and support.. the special people who use simple gestures to draw a rainbow in a storm!!

love
