Hi, Good morning & How are you?

This morning was my first opening morning shift after 3 weeks of afternoon and closing shift. It felt strange even though I have done it many times. I did not expect customers to remember barista as how important their drink is. I came up to this customer and said Venti Chai tea bag with no room for milk. He said you are like my wife in Starbucks. I felt appreciated and thank him. I do remember some of our regular customers drink but today I had some mistake on their size. That itself is all right because our drinking capacity fluctuate from day to day unless one is an avid coffee drinker. Andreas and Ramy who orders their usual Grande 2 splender latte and a Tall Dark mocha frapuccino came. They both asked me where have I been. A random customer and Veronica said my earrings are nice. I ended my day at work with a good mood and grateful to customers. I met with one of my best friend after work and she told me I look happy. Serving customers and being appreciated by them makes me happy.

Roddick

I came back home with soaring eyes and knew that I need to go to bed. Despite of all that I still turn on the TV to watch Australian Open. I am so glad I did. It was Andy Roddick and Speedy Gonzales. It was a 3 hour game with 6 sets. Gosh, I think Gonzales has serious anger management when playing. He slam his racket twice on the floor. I was trying to keep my eyes open during the first half but somehow it was not sleepy until the game ended. I was like celebrating each good shot that Roddick gave to Gonzales. I knew Roddick would win the game. I like what the commentator said Australian would be late for work. I thought that is a good excuse to give to our employers. Roddick send Gonzales packing home and me to sleep. Today in the evening is Roger.

Wish upon a star

When I was young my mum told me about stars, galaxy and constellation. Within that, she started singing this song ‘ When you wish upon a star ‘. Now, virtually talking to you. I wish upon a star for you that you are well in life, studies and may God’s radiance face shine on you and may his Eyes be fix of you.

When you wish upon a star, makes no a difference of who you are. Anything your heart desire will come to you. If your heart is in your dreams, no request is to extreme when you wish upon a star as dreamers do. Fate is kind. She brings those who love the sweet fulfilment of their secret longing. Oh, like a bolt out of the blue fate steps in and sees you through when you wish upon a star  your dream come true.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

I enjoy listening to Christmas carols when December comes. Decorations everywhere with the festive mood rejoicing in you, people cracking up their instrument performing carols on the street and in the subway. One month has pass and I am still listening to Christmas Carols. I practically listen to Have yourself a merry little Christmas daily. It is very relaxing. I feel like a child as I relax to this song. My stress, tiredness, thoughts are vanish and are being replace by peace and childhood likeness. For me Christmas is Everyday.

Uncertainty II

I dislike when things are uncertain but that is life. If things were certain than Faith is absolutely vain. There are things than I am not sure and worrying about. Today while working, I was thinking of a situation and thinking what are the options that I can do. I think too much that I felt headache. I release it and Proverbs 20.24 came to me. Man’s steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand his own way and 1 Corinthians 2-9 No eyes has seen, No ears has heard, No mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him. I felt relive.

Uncertainity

Decide, choose and uncertainty are some of the words that I do not like to associate with my life. No matter what, I cannot escape. Why cannot I choose both instead of one. There must always be a winner and a loser. I was confronted with all these uncertainties. One thing that I am certain is He is certain in His plan for my life. I remembered a poem that I learned back in high school by Robert Frost – The road not taken.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Fievel

I will never forget this show. It is my one of my time all time favourite movies. It is call American Tail. I was a young girl in primary school. I still remember where I was sitting. I was on the bean bag and my dad was sitting on the right side of a couch separated by my mum’s chair. American tail is show about rats from Russia migrating to America. One of the reason why I love this show is because my Chinese zodiac is a rat and my dad always tease me as his little rascal one.  Sometimes when I do something rascal but funny my dad will tease me ” You are like Fievel Mouskewitz”. I will laugh to that. I was lying in bed and I you tube Somewhere out there – American Tail. I started tearing upon listening to the song from parts of the movie. From one to more tears.

Somewhere out there,
beneath the pale moonlight,
someone’s thinking of me and loving me tonight.

Somewhere out there,
someone’s saying a prayer,
that we’ll find one another in that big somewhere out there.

And even though I know how very far apart we are,
it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby,
it helps to think we’re sleeping underneath the same big sky.

Somewhere out there,
if love can see us through,
then we’ll be together, somewhere out there,
out where dreams come true.

25 +

You do not need to have it all in order to feel that you are starting life. Despite of all those years I had live, I feel that I am starting to live life. I have read countless of magazine interviewing woman with the subject when do you feel life begin. Some said 30. Their reasons are blissfully married with children, career, holidays and etc. For me life begins at 25. 2010 is 7 days old and I am enjoying it. Last year despite for all the struggle and hurdle, I felt that I was at the time of my life. Even though I am living at the peak of my life, there are some things which I am not certain. It’s not that I am not happy but it is not the time yet. I am working, travelling the city and beyond, having a good crazy friends who understand and encourage each other, enjoying food and leisure. Looking back there are some things I wish I never did, I wish I did this, I had this and beyond but as I grow older and depend on myself I come to peace with myself. I learn to prioritise which is more important. Not everything that I want I must get it now. There are certain things that I want or to do have yet to be a reality. Some of them have been delayed for more than 3 months. It is not that I am never getting them but it is not urgent. I understand what it means to be tired and lazy. Above all I enjoy growing up with wisdom planted in my life. I am 26 years old.

Past midnight.

Since 31.12.2009 to 03.01.2010, I have been coming back home pass mid night. Shower, wash up and off to bed. I did not have much leisure time to myself. I came back home yesterday at 6.30 pm. I did some cleaning, had take away for dinner and refresh myself. I lie in bed listening to music for an hour. Doing nothing, thinking nothing but allowing my brain to relax and do whatever it wants and I fell asleep.

Blue Mountains

Not many random things becomes a reality. On Friday, my friends and I was casually discussing wanting to go to Blue Mountains over breakfast. We were not keen in taking train but we thought that some of our friends might not want to join us because of the weather and holidays.We met up with the rest of our mates for dinner and it’s confirm that we are going.  Saturday at Katoomba is thunderstorm. Thunderstorm and mountains are not a good pair. 2 hours of driving we saw cloudy skies, very heavy rain, drizzle and sun.  We were praying so hard to God to give us sun for our bush walk. There was 9 of us and only Noelle and myself went to waterfall and down to the Great Bridge. We endured and I am proud of myself.
