It's like this

Now before I start to worry, I ask myself:

1. Can I control it(the thing I'm worrying about)?

2. If I can, what can I do about it?

3. If I can't there's no use worrying.


I know I'm vague about my posts. I'm just too lazy to go into detail. But that little principle is a focus right now-when things go awry and suddenly the earth seems to shift beneath your feet. And it is so helpful I thought I'd share it with other worry-warts out there.

I'm going to turn 21 soon. Yay. Apparently, great things happen in your 21st year. Or so I choose to believe.

Great things great things great things.

Tink wanderful tots.

Thank you

Dear God,

Thank you for the roof over my head,

for the apple I'm eating,

for the bed I sleep in,

for the uni I get to go to,

for the friends I have,

for the family I have,

for the 'beyond me' dreams I have,

for the lessons I'm learning,

for the search I'm on,

for the answers You have,

for the faith I have,

for the hope You give.


Now I will go on living.

A flash

That's how time went by here.

In a few hours I will be boarding a plane back to Melbourne. And I'm ambivalent...em-bee-va-lent. That's how I hear the word in my head.

I love being home-home. It's safe, old and warm. I never want to sleep when I'm back here. It's as if time is too precious to be WASTED on sleep. There are a million things to do with a million people. Like go for breakfast in Taman Desa with your girlfriends (Jean and Addie) and have a nasi lemak tambah sotong for RM 3.50. It's comfortable.

Elsewhere, life is a bit more uncertain. It's tougher, newer and colder. I don't know what to expect and I find myself having to think on my toes. And it's easier to mess-up but you learn that you can deal with the mess. And every experience teaches you something. Like shifting houses- packing, unpacking and adjusting. It's exciting.

I once had to answer this question on Jared's umm friend questionnaire.

"Comfort or excitement?"

Both at different times. That was my answer.


I guess it's time for some excitement, hey?
