Fruitful Work

Sitting outside forever 21 now waiting for dale. In times like this, I wished I brought a book. Since I didn't, let me think about life... Lol

As I am about to start work soon, I ponder about the meaning of work. What is work? Labour? Can work be anything interesting or fruitful?

I thought.

The sales assistant at forever 21 is doing her work. She is assisting customers in their purchases. The customers at forever 21 are technically not doing work. They are shopping. Recalling the book, following Jesus in the real world, work is essentially serving others. Whatever work you do, the common thing is it benefits others. It serves society. And in return, u earn your living. As the book says, ppl often work to live. Few live to work. Work can be fruitful. In the idealistic world, work is about fulfilling your passion. One derives personal satisfaction from work as one puts his abilities to good use. However, things are not as simple as such now. Work is not only passion. It may not even reach the level to be considered passion. Work can be a source of societal pressure from the status it seemingly confers upon individuals.

One of my church friend recently shared a link on a sermon about work. In it, it says that as long as we don't follow the spiritual principle of work, 2 things will happen. We either treat work as too important and then we burn out, OR we treat work as too unimportant and be cynical. And in it, it further mentions that, only when we follow God's principle of work, could we then find rest in working. I gathered my thoughts subsequently. Working for God should mean during work time I work hard at work. But during rest time, I enjoy my rest.

Food for thought.

A sustained journey

Realized it's been pretty long since I last blogged. hmm.. is blogging a sustained journey for me? Should I continue blogging regularly. Am i providing value to others through my blog posts. In the initial stages, the very reason I started this blog is to share. I believe good things should be shared. Happiness is contagious! So... hope whatever I've been sharing, my thoughts, updates, can bring some entertainment and advice to your daily lives.

Started work for about 3 months now. It's been a great learning experience and still adapting. Having an activation at Cine this weekend. Check it o

Church wise, i'm starting to learn flower arrangements! haha. This is sth I really look forward to. Will be going for my first session later. And hopefully there's sth nice for me to show and post up on my blog later.

As for my polymer clay work, i've created a few new designs. BUT, hasn't yet to take the product shoot photos. Hope they all come in soon :)

Short update. Ta daa!

The First of Us All

Last saturday, I attended the first wedding of a friend. How time flies. The period of talk about graduation, finding a job, graduation trips and also weddings (for some early ones). It's indeed heart warming to see a friend getting married. And it's the first. Not those from the older generation but finally one amongst us.

They were both Christians and it was held as a church wedding. As usual, the girls were late except jx. haha the one always on time. We almost missed the grand entrance of the bride! that's really terrible. Running in heels were horrible too. Ended up home with 3 holes on my feet :x.

Here's the lovely picture with the couple!



And of course, I'm finally back from my 3 weeks grad trip. There were lots of thoughts and inspirations. I will leave it till the photos are ready. It has dawned upon me that I am entering the next stage of my life. Stepping into the workforce. Feelings of excitement mixed with reluctance to leave the schooling years. The commencement will put everything to a beautiful end. For now, looking "forward" to the release of NUS results tmr. Al l the best friends!
