718) Relief

I haven’t done any grocery shopping for the past three weeks…and finally I get to nick off to Coles and the Asian grocer to get my supplies! This week will be of herbal soup, ham sandwiches, salads and yee mee? Yum…
Seeing the items stacked up in shelves make me excited. Gets me more excited when I get to peruse the labels. When I get into Coles, I do my thang, I walk up and down the aisles even if I don’t need anything there! 
Annoying to some but brings me some satisfaction. Gives me the ‘aaaaaaahhhhhhh’ moment! I’ve stocked up with my vanilla extract for my baking adventures to come! I’ve got ideas in my head that are bursting to get out and into people’s tummies!
Loving Sundays already!
717) I kinda miss it…

…the three weeks of never-ending laughter in Gippsland. I had stomach cramps from laughing!
My colleagues crack me up every single time with the weirdest stories. I love them to bits!
716) Cocoonish

Of late, I feel cocoonish. I see the world pass by, people going places, getting permanent jobs, getting into relationships, etc and I feel status quo. I know I’m getting somewhere but I just don’t know where more like, I feel underachieved.
What do I need? What do I have to do?
What is it that I want?
Until the time comes, I wouldn’t know. I just know I can hang on to this:-
But in the end, does it really make a difference what anyone does? I’ve had a good look at what God has given us to do—busywork, mostly. True, God made everything beautiful in itself and in its time—but he’s left us in the dark, so we can never know what God is up to, whether he’s coming or going. I’ve decided that there’s nothing better to do than go ahead and have a good time and get the most we can out of life. That’s it—eat, drink, and make the most of your job. It’s God’s gift.
Ecclesiastes 3:9-13 (The Message)
I think this translation of the Bible is awesome. Was just going through biblegateway.com to get an appropriate translation and got to this…doesn’t answer the whys and whats but tells me to just go with the flow and to seize the moments that God has placed in my life.
715) Hooked

Got hooked to this song after my colleague played the intro to this song.
714) Round and round the bear goes

My mom has a thing for kids…she keeps them entertained with her little riddles, hugs, lifts etc. She’s a hit during CNY when nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, grand-nephews come to visit.
One of her tricks up her sleeve was sitting the kid on her lap, with the kid’s palm outstretched she will start singing and draw invisible circles on the kid’s palm, run her fingers to the kid’s arm pits and tickles them. If I am not wrong it goes… “Round and round the bear goes around the garden, one step, two steps, koo-chi koo-chi koo!” Kids will of course give the expected reaction of squealing because 1) they are ticklish 2) they are amused.
That reminds me I could be Mr. or rather Miss Bear. Going round and round the garden, not seeing the way out from the garden. I just need to see the gate and walk towards it.
713) Run girl, run!

It’s strange being a stranger in your own house.
712) You know it…

…that something is your passion when it excites you when things around you are dull.
Time to go to the kitchen and greet my old friend, the oven.

New month’s resolution: Blog.
Been away from carmenjotshere and perhaps could have lost the ability to express myself in written words. But I won’t say no to a challenge
It’s been a month since work has started, received my first pay check last Thursday and sent of to Gippy until next week. Been commuting back and forth Clayton and Gippy, not loving the days where I have to leave because I have to wake up at 6am! Loving the days when I’m in Gippy because I spend close to $0 for food and accomodation!
Was just talking to a friend the other day and I realized that 2009 has been a tough year for me, it’s the whole change and transition from point A to point B makes it tough because during transition, everything seems to be in a faze. It’s two months before the year ends and I would conclude that I yearn for stability. In many ways. Life. Job. Relationships. Money. Direction. Stability is what I am after yet still, I find myself far from being stable in this phase of life. Different things being tested. Different things being removed. Different things put into my life. Different expectations. Different fears/concerns. Different people in my life.
Somehow, I know the days ahead are going to be better. If I could live through these so called ‘dark’ days, I am sure as long as I thread one step at a time, brighter days are ahead.
Summer is coming, that’s for sure!
