I just got in to the office after a 3 day long weekend which I had spent mostly in my rented apartment in the city rather than back in Penang, my hometown. Much that I don't want to dwell in the sorrow of that, I'm pretty much glad that this morning I get to go back to work bright and early in time to type out this blog entry.
I spent the most part of last night watching Evan Almighty on DVD, which I find really hilarious and would like to congratulate the producers and directors for successfully making me laugh inspite of the strong religious 'hidden message' behind that movie.
Besides watching Evan Almighty on DVD, I also managed to chat up a few new friends on the online chatroom which I frequently visit. Now let me recall, there's Joyce, who looked like a Ribena Berry replica which keeps going Wew! Tsu from Penang who thought I was a gal from my chatroom nickname and Hui Ting, which pretty much impressed me (and I must say inspired me at the same time to get up and chase the goals which I have pretty much given up on a long time ago).
Can you imagine this, a 22 year old Insurance sales agent who drives a 2003 BMW 318i she bought brand new. We were chatting about cars and she was trying to decide between keeping her car and a brand new Volvo S80. I wonder how many 22 year olds have the luxury of that kind of decisions at that age. Well, in fact for a 32 yr old and 42 year old for that matter. After successfully landing my cushy job here in genting, I toy around with a decision on which Proton to change next.
Which got me a thinking. It's in the decision that we make on a daily basis. Its the decisions we make in life which determine what kind of life we end up living. Its the decision we make which determines if we eat instant noodles for dinner everynight or dine on lobsters at the JW Marriotts. God, (whoever it may be for you) gives each and every one of us equal opportunities to be either rich, poor, middle class, upper class, lower class and homeless. Its up to us to choose what we want ourselves to be without prejudice I suppose.
As I wake up today at 5am, I thank the almighty for giving me the opportunity of a brand new day and another chance to make a choice to be who I want to be today. To choose to be happy, rich, loved, lucky and enjoy everything that God has created for me to enjoy around me.
Thank you for the opportunity, thank you for letting me choose. I choose to be Happy!
